result of the talks in riyadh. who will implement these results? >> in a separate development the u.s. has pulled its forces from from an air base after an attack by al-qaeda-linked groups on an administration compound. 21 yemeni soldiers have been killed. now the latest on the fighting that is going on inside libya, it's centered around the capital of tripoli. fighters loyal to the army chief have been accused of carrying out new airstrikes in and around the capital including the airport. it is is the recognized government of libya based in tribruk. these are pictures from libya they say the offenses have been repelled but deploying more fighters to the capital. they're con condemning the

settlement. they're very concerned about violence, particularly now amid reports that there have been airstrikes targeting areas. both sides say that they're committed to peace and stability in lib y and they're beating now --they are meeting now trying to implement an immediate cease-fire in the area around tripoli to pave the way for talks to continue. otherwise, the biggest concern is as fighting continues throughout the day these talks could collapse. >> you say the implementation of a peace fire is the most urgent priority for now. what else are they going to be discussing? what is top of the agenda?

>> well, basically because of the debate of who has legitimacy the united nations-recognized government of tibruk said that it has the government voted by the people, therefore it has the ultimate say. the tripoli-based government said that they are the one who is have the supreme authority. at the moment you have a prime minister and gnc government that would like to have an army that secures libya and fight those affiliated with isil. you're just going to see full blown civil war that-- >> nuclear talks will resume next week. the marathon negotiations ended

children encouraged self harm. >> what happened is the alleged claims of self harm may have been fabricated by the staff as a means to further an political agenda but this report found that was not the case. there was a litany of evidence of self harm, abuse allegations of rape. now the staff don't need to make up these things if they're occurring, and that's what the report found. save the children has been vindicated the position and the action of the staff ultimately the only true safeguard to prevent that's kinds of incidents is to end the practice of prolonged detention for immigration. we know it's a program that causes long-term harm and drives them to these kinds of acts.

there needs to be far greater transparent in the government allegations. there is secrecy by the government, and that's at the heart of the problems. it needs to be independent oversight of those things, and ultimately the government needs to move away from this practice of prolonged detention that causes significant harm to people. >> stay with us on al jazeera. still ahead, boko haram may have left a northern nigerian city, but they still pose a threat. and academic ambitions, parents scale to new heights to push their children to succeed in school.
