to avoid a strike allowing a new season to get under way in the m.l.s. so then libya's national oil company declared production is shut down because of escalating violence in many oil wells. libya depend on oil for its income. and the u.n. has made an appeal for help. >> reporter: an attack on an oil facility last month has left it unoperable. most by by fighters linked to islamic state of iraq and levant. they destroyed equipment at an oil field on wednesday. a pipeline and oil field came under attack last week in dahra. 14 were killed at the mabrouk
5:02 am
oil field. lib why's oil industry is a prime target production falling 1.6 million barrels before the revolution with muammar gaddafi, to 300,000. there has been so many asacks that the nation -- attacks that the national oil corporation said it will not fulfil the contracts, saying it may close all of libya's ports if the situation does not improve. the rival governments are in a power struggle. the delegation was at this airport when it was targeted. we are here. as we were going for the dialogue meeting, war planes were carrying out attack. an attempt to stoppize going to the meeting and sabotaging
5:03 am
efforts of the government. >> the airport was hit by forces loyal to the tib rock government -- tib rock. expectations of a solution are old. dialogue based on fixed foundations, it is a red line and that is ireversible. we can't go back to the outdated national conference. >> in the meantime the country's oil belt is going up in mistake. >> we go to the moroccan capital. hashem ahelbarra, as we heard in the report where you are now, in morocco, what chance is there of progress do you thinks? >> let me give you an idea of where i am. this is a city on the atlantic
5:04 am
on the outskirts of the capital. the united nations want the libyans to be here for political reasons, for this reason. they know there's a huge problem of confidence, building measures, and the situation on the ground in libya is deteriorating. they have one clear message to both parties in libya. they have to give diplomacy a chance and if talks fail we have a situation where it could further escalate and they could be braced for anarchy. both delegations are holding separate meetings as we speak, in a couple of hours from now. you can see behind me that's where they are. the official talks with the united nations special representative. basically, they have been told that we want you to come out with the following.
5:05 am
you have to agree on a national unity government. we have to agree on disarming and pulling out military factions from the capital. you have to move forward and start the process with the drafting of that constitution. we've seen members of that delegation, minutes ago from the hotel. you feel like there's a huge problem, problem of mistrust between both delegations. and i think that the biggest challenge facing the international community is to build the trust. >> give diplomacy a chance. what will it take do you think, for that distrust to be overcome? >> against the backdrop of the accusations, counteraccusations the tobruk government is saying that it's the lumming mate
5:06 am
authority in libya, questioning the tripoli based government and vice versa. affiliated with i.s.i.l. aimed at oil installations in the country. the escalations over 24 hours. they are huge issues of concerns for the international community. they know that this will be an uphill climb today in the capital. they told the libyans, you have two options, you agree on a roadmap, or you have to grapple with your own destiny once you go back. the problem that they need to great op today is that if there's no deal i.s.i.l. groups will take advantage and spread across the country. thousand of people displaced across the country. this is the biggest challenge
5:07 am
facing the international community. this talk this meeting here it has been disquiet as a crucial moment for the libyans, they move forwards towards a roadmap. if it fails, that could be a nightmare scenario for the libyans themselves and the international community. >> all right, hashem ahelbarra, thank you, indeed for putting it into context for us. libya has the biggest known oil reserves in africa. production plunged. output fell off a cliff, and then to zero in august 2011 when rebels took tripoli and muammar gaddafi spread. prungs took another -- production took ner dive in april 2013 the reopening of two oil terminals provided a further reprieve. since act, i tacks have had devastating consequences, and now we have the latest
5:08 am
development. >> let's talk to the director of the tripoli-based group in loupd. good to see you -- in london. good to see you. what is your take on this? it's a critical source of revenue for libya. how much of an impact will it have? >> 90% of the revenue of the state is generated through hydrocarbon industry in libya. in that respect, it's the economic backbone of the country, leading to further problems. i have these ver itcheses. in terms of the way this which the country is locking, the central bank is enacting some degree of austerity measures, they can only get. >> the significant element, and on the road to resolution what kind of part does it play? >> well in terms of the way in
5:09 am
which the oil industry played a role in the latest conflict where many take charge on the international market and outside of the regulations, and a government arm, most fighting has been to the east and the west. there has been some pointing one of the main sources exploded and was caught in some of the fighting. for the most part that was where the symbolic fighting was. in the last 3-4 weeks we had ice attacks. i think that is sending alarm bells to most of the factions in there. between dawn and dignity. both are fighting over control. once they get rid of it, and use the oil as a chip to get the
5:10 am
attention, the international tension that it needs. >> as a backdrop there's the tab ruck based government calling for the arms embargo to be lifted. will that have sway? >> well arms embargo at this stage could fuel a conflict that it getting to a stage whereby it could have ramifications, for libya and the wider regions. lifting the arms embargo could have worse ramifications, you could have the weapons going into the hands of militias that we don't know. lifting arms embargoes it one thing, a political segment is one way of getting the problem sorted it's out of the hands of activists, adding weapons to a badly fuelled conflict making it worse. >> good to get your perspective.
5:11 am
>> in syria 10 people are said to have been killed in eastern aleppo. fighting is continuing for control of a city split between rebels and pro-asaad force, and is said to have happened in the kadyaskar district north korea called an attack on a u.s. ambassador to south korea a deserved pun ibment in relation to drills held by south korea and u.s. the ambassadors was in surgery for 2.5 hours after being slashed in the face. >> reporter: this is the ambassador after the attack. the shock was clear to see. mark lip ter was attending a breakfast contrade. a man rushed forward and slashed him. a man rushed saying no drills.
5:12 am
south korea and north korea should be identified. he would only be identified as a man called kim. the condition was described as not threatening. u.s. and south korea are carrying out extensive operations continuing until next month, defensive in nature. they have been branded provocative in nature by the north koreans. the u.s. bases more than 20,000 troops in south korea, along the world's most fortified border. it's seen as an attempt, but some in the south see them as a barrier to a unified career. mark lipped is a popular vigor, his wife gave birth in seoul and he gave his son a korean middle name. he received a call from president obama, who wished him a speedy recovery. that will lead to a re view of him, his family's security and other documents in south korea the world's biggest economy

[ ♪♪ ] >> reporter: inside dime devoted to both subjects but the center of his speech is the economy. managing the transition from the sore-away export growth to a mature domestically driven and slower growing china, the target down from 7.5% to 7%. with downward pressure on
5:14 am
china's economy building the problems developing surfacing. the difficulties we encounter may be more formidable. pledges to free up foreign and domestic investment tighter banking restrictions creating jobs and restricting unemployment to below 4.5%. >> this 7% target represents growth levels in pursuit of moderate prosperity and a time of downward pressure on the economy. it's an exploist acknowledgment that they believe the slow down is set to continue at a people when declining property prices and record debt levels can be a threat. >> reporter: real estate enterprises and bad debt is worse. some people think the economy will collapse soon.
5:15 am
>> for years china's worsening solution is part of the price paid for its rapid growth. china's leaders recognise the cost is to high. >> translation: the environmental pollution is a blight on people's quality of life and weighs on their hearts. we must fight it with all our mite. >> china's ability to fight enemies will be decreased. the budget going up by 10.1%. it's the economic forecast that gardeners most attention. -- gardeners most tanction. -- traction. people are feeling healthy, and amid environmental hazards, healthy. and risks what it cares about above all - the stability of the country now we'll speak to a policy
5:16 am
analyst at a the center for independent studies. what did you make of what we just heard. and the premiers efforts to reassure his people? >> good to be with you. this is a classic case of sccp set pieces. this is beijing's equivalent where the pie says here is where we came from here are the problems we faced, and this is what we are doing about it. as a propaganda exercise it is quite successful. there's a host of serious problems faced. nothing pollution, debt problems slow economic growth serious tension with japan, and it's an attempt to say we are aware of the problems but concerns for the chinese, and we have mapped out a cautious
5:17 am
reform agenda to deal with social and economical problems. >> when we talk about the problems, am i wrong to suggest that it seems that the problems increase incrementally year by year? >> sorry, what was that. >> i was asking whether or not i would be wrong to suggest if these problems that he was referring to and how they'll be overcome this they are increasing incrementally. are things more serious as time goes on? >> the problems are certainly severe and deep-seated. but the fact that a flag sheep ccp event is addressing the problems suggests that the party, effect has the upper hand over the problems. for a long time corruption for example, has been a cause of simmering discontent among the population at large, and previous presents have not taken a strong stand against
5:18 am
corruption, and the policy is a broad-based massive corruption drive that netted senior officials and low-level officials guilty of misconduct the the problems are severe it seems as if they have the investigation and energy to tackle the problems in a way that previous presidents have not been able to do. >> what is the public response to events like this? are they skeptical or largely accepting of what is said? >> in china it's hard to get a gauge on what public sentiment is given that people shield their views in public. i expect there'll be certainly contentment it with a programme of this time. there's a national sentiment, and the rise in defense will be welcome this that respect. there's a growing sense that
5:19 am
china cannot continue to grow its economy based on this infrastructure-led, investment-led model. there has to be a rebalancing involving levels of economic growth that is significant. it's a respectable number but not galloping forward in the 10- 10-30% range. >> thank you for youron that later in the newshour - the clock is ticking on south sudan's peace talks. live in juba. and a report from columbia's biggest port where a discovery of mass graves highlights the government's failure to curb environment in sport - sri lanka move closer to a semifinal birth at the cricket world cup. south's leader are under
5:20 am
pressure to sign a peace deal regional leaders made thursday the dead line for leaders to reach agreement. we have this report from juba. >> reporter: this woman can't talk about her father not without checking up. simon young, a pastor was shot dead in juba at the start of the conflict. they have never found his body. she has a message for the leaders. >> the leaders, both of them they need to look at the innocent blood. who voted for them. they need to look at what they are losing and the loss. >> the president and rebel leaders are expected to sign a
5:21 am
peace agreement. people are hoping for a deal. >> many want piece, but are worried that a signature on a dotted line does not necessarily mean lasting peace. they want a binding deal and commitment from their leaders. a power struggle wean the president and his deputy sparked the civil law. the supporters have been fighting each other. the two are under intense pressure to sign a deal. there's a little sense of conciliation between both sides. >> it's not about the political reform it's not about political settlement. of the people, certain people you know on the other hand they spoke to the rebel group. >> the negotiation has refused to deal with the actual root cause of the problem. the government says the cause is
5:22 am
one thing, we say it's one thing. at the at least they should have said less us agree to disagree. let us agree that you people have disgz on the from. at least we have an agreement moving forward. >> politics aside, this community has been compieing names of tens of thousands of those that died. they want to create a memorial. they speak for many when they say they want their country to get out of limbo. we are joined life. the chances of a deal are looking slim in ethiopia now,n't they? >> the progress is very both leaders are not fraing on march. there is contention of
5:23 am
power-sharing. they are disagree on the composition of parliament the government, and there's contention over the making of a new constitution. joining me to make sense of all of this is the director for center - for the center of peace. these leaders are under a lot of pressure to sign a deal. it seems to me they are under duress as well. do you think that this deal is good for south sudan. this package on the table. >> i assume the most important thing is people interest south sudan at the moment are looking for peace. what we are seeing now is there are two possibilities, either the parts are not going to agree, or adhere to the proposal shared. the chance that they will disagree.
5:24 am
they are mindful of the consistency at home. if you talk about the security arrangement, it's sensible. they'll negotiate on the preinterim period. there's no way you can have it for the interim period. it's for a system of government. the art that it could we included in the negotiation on the consistent arrangement. each on the transitional government. the proposal, government, the position, and tending to the sort political parties is reasonable. people are accusing it of being part of the problem. do you think there's too many vested interest. some of them have been clear. some of them n cluds the interest.
5:25 am
the most important thing is a taste. i think they had missing a lot of opportunities. if they were to build on the agreement, the relaxation and the crisis from within and it becomes a crisis i think they are missing that money for building the peace agreement. i think it is a critical point. they may withdraw from the notion. >> what does all this peen for the country, if they don't sign? >> definitely would be a lot of disappointment for the people of south sudan. who would have wasted the two leaders having their own agreement. home grown agreement willingly, rather than put under pressure. being enforced on the party would be a bad thing. and a lot of fluence for you to take these to the grass root.
5:26 am
a lot of us would look for the habit. >> thank you very much. nick people here are tired of waiting for a political solution, for leaders to commit to lasting piece and have been beenate -- been waiting, saying the leaders must be committed and get the country out of the situation it's in now. >> thank you very much indeed. let's move on to the weather. and storms are battering italy and the balkans. >> yes, there's red alert warnings in force across the balkans. what about the massive cloud that has been swirling away across the mediterranean and the intense pressure of area in force. it has the storms rumbling away. violent winds and heavy rain here is an area of low pressure
5:27 am
much this is how highly packed the bars are. plenty of rain in place. this is in crow asia. 64mm of rain during the course of wednesday, and there's more where that came from. the wetter weather sinking southwards. southern italy, east of the adriatic across the hungarian plain, and that's where the snow will consider making its way eastward. the heaviest of the rain making its way across greece. it brightens up looking nice. comparing the temperatures. athens up to 30 degrees in the cloud and the rain. london is looking good. top textures around 30. turning nice at home and looking spring leek. >> i like the sound of that.

5:29 am
getting it. they want to benefit themselves. >> reporter: riot police had to be put had to restore order. there is an overwhelming feeling that the farmers that do all the works have been offered an unfair price. tobacco is a major industry and many farmers defend on it. auction ears say the low prices have to do with rains that affected the crops, and that is having a knock on effect. it's the quality and the price. it's not just the price. buyers will need to persuade their customers. >> some complained that not enough help is given by the government to train farmers in dealing with a variation of weather. al jazeera spoke to a government official saying the problem is
5:30 am
being dealt with. the government is under way to assist farmers with the technology harnessing the water in their areas. >> after sales on wednesday, due to the protest, selling resumes once the situation came down and prices were better. the marketing season runs until august. if the prices drop tempers could flare again. >> still to come in this news hour. how this election campaign is causing controversy and sparking lawsuits in israel. >> and a french footballer collapses on the pitch during an english premier league game. that is coming up.
