.>> the two rival parliaments ae set to meet on wednesday to sign this agreement. the militias fighting on the ground have not confirmed whether they will actually accept this u.n. deal. zeina hodor is live from where this meeting is happening in rome. from rome, this meeting is happening, of course there are events on the ground. there is a lot of room between those two situations before this actually happens. get us up to speed on what's going on. >> well, the whole aim of this conference, the international community wants to give a decisive push really for diplomatic efforts to forge a national unity government in libya. they've pressured the rival sides to come together, to sit together, to agree on a national unity government to stop fighting each other, because the international community is

really concerned about the growing presence of isil in libya. they want these rival factions to focus on instead defeating this group. there have been a series of meetings all day. we will know more about the outcome once the press conference is held between the secretary of state, the italian foreign minister and the u.n. special envoy. we have representatives from both these rival administrations, the general national congress in tripoli as well as the house of representatives in tobruk. they are attending these meetings. i say some, because there are splits within these rival administrations, but it is safe to say that powerful players, both political as well as military actors are here, and their support is vital, really. they can agree on a national unity government but it's implementation on the ground that i guess the real test. national government has to be defended, defended by who. they are working hard to end the

security vacuum in libya. >> what role has isil played in pushing the progress of these talks so much in the last weeks and months? >> well, really the sense of urgency. the international community is concerned, italy in particular is concerned. isil is just a few hundred kilometers away, acrosses mediterranean. isil has taken ground, is now in control of libya's central city of sirte and pushing towards a strategic city where the oil and gas terminals are located. that would give isil a source of revenue. it's not just taking ground. it's not just a question of isil. libya is a transit country for migrants and refugees and italy is afraid, because this is the entry point. this is why you see the sense of urgency, all this pressure on the libyan factions on the

ground to unitee. united nations says approximately 3,000 fighters are now in libya. hundred was fighters sent from libya to syria are now coming back. there are those who say libya has become isil's fallback position especially since the group has been coming unpressure in syria and iraq. russia's defense ministry summoned the turkish attache. twenty kilometers off a a greek island, the russian military used small arms against a turkish finishing bolt after it failed to respond to warnings. >> the turkish foreign minister confirmed that the turkish

military attache were summoned. the turks gave no further details. we know the version of the events is coming from one side, moscow. according to the details of the version every vents that the russians are saying is that surveillance russian ship was very close with the approaching turkish finishing ship. it was actually about 550 meters, the distance between. the russians said they tried to establish communication with the turks, then used visual signals and other means to try and persuade the turkish ship to go away. then according to the russians, they had to fire some small arms. after that, the turkish ship went away. all of that comes after the deteriorating relations between russia and turkey. turkey downed a russian fighter

jet last month. turkey said it violated turkish air space on the border with syria and the russians after that were very angry, and they imposed economic sanctions on turkish products. there was heated rhetoric between the two countries and things could escalate further. >> france is voting in the second round of local elections seen as a test for the far right. the national front party caused a stir last week winning the large effort share of the vote in the first round. a higher turnout and tactical voting expected in this round suggestion the national front is unlikely to win control of any of france's 13 regions. jacky rowland is live in paris to put this in perspective. as it is said, the national front did very well in the first round. tell us more about the expectations for the second round.

>> in the first round of voting there was a very low turnout, only 50% of the electorate went to voting stations. in these circumstances, often the really enthusiastic hard core supporters of the various parties had gone out to vote and that really played in favor of marie lepen and her national front. after that first round of voting, i think there was a certain amount of shock in some quarters in france. we certainly saw the socialist party have their performances, a very, very weak and in three regions, the socialists decided to withdraw their candidate altogether from the second round. what you see then is people transferring they're allegiance, votes to other parties. we are expected to see socialists voting for republicans, republicans voting for socialists to block the national front. it looks probable despite being in the lead in the first round,

marie lepen could emerge from the second and final rounds empty handled. >> how significant are these elections? >> the elections in themselves and the regions in themselves, the he regional councils don't have that much power. they have budget for funding cult you have and for funding voluntary organizations, but they don't have any say on important policies like security off immigration which of course are the two big themes of the national front. if anything, the elections are being seen as an interesting taking the temperature of the french political climate, because these are the last elections that will take place across the country before the presidential election ins april, 2017. people are looking to these elections to give at least some kind of potus of the way things

are going. it looks as if france is moving from a two party system to a three party system with the national front party actually being a mean stream political force here. >> the far right's strong showing in france's regional polls is widely seen as a response to novembered attacks in paris. it's exactly a month since gun machine opened fire in the french capital. 130 people were killed. jonah hull reports. >> the isil attacks in paris that targeted sports fans, concert goers and diners happened a month ago, a month in which life has changed dramatically. >> i think in the short to medium term, the world is only going to become more dangerous as a result of the things that

are happening, and that's a consequence of the fact that islamic state has become so strong and global jihadism has become so strong. >> it was friday the 13th and at least eight attackers opened fire randomly with several detonate suicide vests. all were european citizens, some having returned with battle experience from syria, while others had lived as social outcasts in the suburbs of paris and brussels. >> there is an umbilical cord between the wars raging iraq and security. you have radicalized net york in the heart of europe. isis could not have carried out this massive attack in paris without having local, local recruits. >> paris followed a string of isil attacks on civilian targets, including the bombing

of a russian passenger jet over egypt that killed 224 people, exactly a fort night earlier. western captain also have responded with the rhetoric of war, with an expanded bombing campaign against isil in syria amid the creeping fear of attack at home. >> the western powers will not send boots on the ground in syria and iraq. the response in terms of rhetoric basically vocal, we are at war, the reality is still the same, airstrikes, along with supporting local forces on the ground. it means it's a long, gradual strategy that would take years. >> it's been a bad month for refugees still filing into europe by the thousands each day. with perhaps two of the paris attackers believed to have entered europe among the refugee influx, border controls have been tightened and support grown

for anti immigrant parties on the far right. it's arguably been a good month, however, for this man, bashar al assad, whose army is the dominant force on the ground in syria, with the spotlight now on eradicating isil, he may benefit from the ancient proverb the enemy of my enemy is my friend. >> above all, the merging coalition between western countries in the wake of the paris attacks has signaled a new reality, a constant threat to innocent life from washington to moscow, possibly for years to come. al jazeera, london. there i see widespread global optimism after a agreement was reached in paris. some activists warn i am policemenning the deal is now just beginning. [ cheers and applause ]

>> its approval by 195 countries in the european union was greeted with fanfare in paris saturday night. it urges all nations to limit greenhouse gas emissions and report back every five years, but green peace chief says the text has been diluted and full of compromises. >> the emission targets on the table aren't big enough and the deal doesn't do enough to change that. the new goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the second half of the century means we need to phase out fossil fuels. there's not enough deal for the people on the front lines of climate change. it kins injustice. the nations which cause the problem have promised too little help to the people losing lives and livelihoods. >> our science editor has more on the challenges ahead.

[ applause ] >> for thousands of dell gets and world leaders who spent the last weeks in climate talks, obvious joy and relief at a deal. once the cheering subsides, the much tougher job of turning promises into action begins. the paris agreement sets a target to limit warning to below two degrees celsius and strife to keep global temperatures at a maximum of 1.5 degrees above prestill levels. the problem is commitments made in paris are not enough to do this. it's estimated that even if they're achieved, they'll only hold warming to between 2.7 and three degrees. >> we share the concerns of several friends that agreement does not put us on the path to prevent temperature rise below two degrees.

>> the agreement assert that is greenhouse gas emissions must peak as soon as possible. to do this, it release on volunteer national plans. as they stand, these plans would see global emissions continue to rise and by a significant amount. it's an outcome that brought protestors on to the streets in manila. >> the parties like fill teens, concerns have not been addressed, leaving countries not having a very well defined target for emissions absolutely makes it more dangerous for the philippines for climate change. >> the overall agreement is legally binding. some elements of i have the, including the pledges to curb emissions by individual countries are not. this means the success of the agreement dependency entirely on political will, with each country setting its own goals

and even deciding whether to sign up to a five year check up on what progress it's making. one of the world's leading scientist puts it this way. >> it's a fraud, fake, worthless words. there is no action, just promises. as long as fossil fuels are the cheapest out there, they will continue to be burn. >> the agreement recycles pledges to race $100 billion from rich countries to help poor countries transform their economies. overall success in tackling climate change rests as it always has on the shoulders of individual governments. it's now up to them to honor their promises and good intentions and turn their words into actions. >> despite the protests in manila, the philippines chief negotiator has approved the deal. there is extensive global reaction from the philippines,

china and india. let's start in manila. >> though not as perfect as they might have wanted it to be, the delegation to the paris conference say they feel the deal is acceptable and they see it as a significant step forward. what they would have wanted to see, however, is stronger language used in some portions of the agreement. for example, they found it still too soft in terms of making it obligatory for developed nations to cut down on carbon emissions. they wanted a more concrete figure put in place as opposed to an aspirational was not. they wanted more financing for countries that have the most to lose in materials of dealing with the effects of global warming. one such country, the philippines that sees on average some 20 typhoon as year. these typhoons are increasing in number and becoming stronger as they cut across these islands.

the philippine government struggling to cope with the communities affect by these super typhoons. before one community has been rehabilitated, another typhoon is already coming in. they wanted to see a concrete figure and a mechanism put in place so developed nations might help countries like the philippines become more resilient to the effect of global warming, the delegation says they are happy with the in tent and spirit of the agreement as it stands right now and they can work out and fine tune details in time. china's leaders are basking in the glory of being signatories to an historic agreement in paris. behind the scenes, those leaders know painful decisions lie ahead. in many ways we know what china is going to do when it releases its five year plan, expect a shrinking coal and steel industry, the drivers of china's economy.

i've just been to southwest china to a former steel mill town where the mill closed nine months ago with the last of some 16,000 jobs. the government lalled it a heavy polluter. the question is whether this former mim is going to be a template for what's going to happen to other industries in other parts of the country. china has given a commitment that it will ensure its greenhouse gas emissions peak by 2030. china is the biggest emitter of those gases. it also says it hopes that at least 20% have all of its energy needs come from renewables also by 2030. china is in a unique position. not only is it a heavy polluter, it's possibly spending more money on efforts to combat pollution than any other country. >> a nixed response. on one hand, the government hailing it as a victory particularly for india's

persistent when it comes to the needs of developing countries. on the other hand has been criticism, a leading environmentalists suggested that the deal is a compromise. she said that a number of key issues that developing countries, including india were raising haven't been agreed upon. they are not in this agreement. as a result. india's going to have to continue fighting, also pointing out that in terms of emissions cut and finance developing countries, don't actually have to begin this process of cutting emissions or adding to this global fund until 2020, which perhaps is a little too much time given that time is of the essence as we've heard from paris. also suggestions that things india was looking for, sustainable living and climate justice are in the agreement, which is what has made the india

delegation very happy. there's no real commitment in terms of enacting these things on the part of developed or underdeveloped countries, so a mixed bag here. keep it here for the news hour. violence disrupts elections in central african republic. >> being evicted from the home they have lived in for decades. >> in sport, after a record winning streak in the nba, the golden state warriors finally fumble. we'll have all the details. >> the political crisis in burundi is escalating. security forces are accused of targeting young men in the capital bujumbura. according to the army, at least

87 were killed in attacks on friday. that is the worst incident of violence since the failed coup in may. witnesses say dozens of bodies were found lying on the streets, some with their hands tied behind their backs. the army says the people they killed are enemies of the state. it all began with coordinated attacks by unidentified gunmen on three military sites. the u.n. security council is considering further steps after condemning the killings. we are following the developments in burundi. >> tension is hi in the capital bujumbura. there is a massive police swoop targeting some neighborhoods of the city, particularly where police have arrested a number of young men and taken them away. others were also shot on the streets. the government has denied it has killed civilians and says all

those killed are people it's calling enemies of the state. the opposition has denied, however, that they have been involved in the violence with the man who's been considered the face of burundian opposition. they say that it's up to the government to tell the people of burundi who is actually carrying out the killings and who continues with this violence, saying that the opposition are not united enough to come together to issue one press release and that they do not have the capacity to carry out killings against anyone. now with the continuing violence in burundi, there are fears that it could rekindle civil war in the country based on ethnicity. this country has gone through a civil war from 1993 to 2005, and this is something that is still fresh in people's minds.

that is one of the reasons why more than 200,000 people have crossed the borders to seek asylum in rwanda and tanzania and the united nation is concerned on the issue of civilian protection and now is contemplating deployment of u.n. peacekeepers. >> there are reports that at least two people are dead and 20 injured in central african republic as voters are going to the polls. earlier there were reports of heavy weapons fire in a mostly muslim district. machine guns and rocket launchers were being used near a school where people are queuing to vote on a no constitution. we have a report on how french and u.n. troops may struggle if this violence increases. >> french soldiers on patrol in the capital have been here for two years. they are not welcome by

everyone. along with local suspects, french and other foreign troops have been accused of sexually abusing children and women. >> more than 700 were documented in 2014, shows that beyond this specific, you do have widespread issue of violence or sexual violence against children. >> french commanders and the united nations told al jazeera those involved are awaiting trial and dismissed from duty. french soldiers have been accused of siding against christians with muslims. >> when one interference between two warring sides, attempts to prevent collision, criticism comes from both sides. we can't leave them to face pass kerrs. we protect all civilians from

assault. >> in many areas, the welcome for the french is guarded. >> the french intervention helped us a lot. the role is on the decline as their number is shrinking. the country is vast and we do not have an army. >> the french force has been cut two thirds to only 900 soldiers. there are fears that number won't be enough to help keep the peace if fighting flares again between the warring rebels. >> the perception is not positive. most people expressed their fears if the french troops were to retreat. the worst means killing hundreds oof innocents from both sides as the desire for vengeance is still very much alive. still to come, a group of detained asylum seekers go on hunger strike in the u.s., saying they are being denied due

process. rising price is and fogg wages pushes brazil's economic prices deeper putting more pressure on president rousseff. >> in sport, moving to the top of the english premier league, we'll have all the action, coming up.

>> welcome back. you're watching al jazeera. let's take a quick look at the top stories. an international conference is underway in rome aiming to end the conflict in libya. members of its two rival political factions are attending along with u.s. secretary of state john kerry. representatives of both administrations agreed to sign a u.n. brokered peace deal on friday. russia's defense ministry summoned turkey over an incident in the aegean sea. moscow said a vessel fired a warning shot to prevent collision with a turkish fishing boat. burundi's army is carrying out raised in neighborhoods, the spokesman saying 87 people were

killed in friday's violence after unidentified gunmen targeted military sites. dozens of bodies were found lying in the streets. initial results are coming in from saudi arabia's landmark municipal elections. women voted for the first time and also were allowed to stand as candidates. seven women have been elected to sit on councils so far. >> the doors have opened to a new era in saudi public life with two milestones reached, women gaining the right to vote and stand as candidates in local elections. >> i feel very happy that the king has given us this opportunity to vote. now we're equal to men. >> the journey to gender equality has been a slow one. so has the overall pace of political reform. the monarchy often applies a

literal interpretation of i.s. law and so far saudis have voted in just three local elections, to choose councils that are the only elected bodies in the kingdom. >> i want to see the women to be more involved in every institution in the government and in the private sector. ok, to be part of the planning, part of the execution, part of the performance, part of evaluation. she has to be always there. >> behind the scenes, saudi women do already have powerful positions. they sit on the country's top advisory body, and most university graduates are female. even with such strides, women still don't drive themselves to the polls, a freedom women elsewhere enjoy. a saudi academic and women the rights activists joins me in the studio that.

my first question is seven women won. are you surprised by those results? >> not surprised. expecting more. in the beginning, i was not very keen on having any numbers, but as the names are starting to appear and i don't think seven is final, because the final word hasn't been said yet. they're still disclosing some names. for many women, they are deserving to be on the council. any way, it's an experience that we all gained from and i'm happy for those who succeeded, and yes. >> you say it's an experience we all gain from. how so? what experience that is? >> the fact that women coming from new experience in democratic process. not only women, men, as well,

but mainly women, because there is difference in our experience than theirs. this background, having the public fears that they had to deal with, which was also something that was not welcoming, and usually is not welcoming women and actually women are more encouraged to stay at home rather than being in the public view, so here again, suddenly, they are asked to go and do something in the public and meet with people, and so the whole in addition to many obstacles that faced women in registration time as well as getting the licenses off those who were candidates, the whole thing, running the campaign themselves, dealing with all the restrictions which were governing. >> the obstacles. >> they are endless, endless,

endless. these women, however who really didn't succeed, has gained definitely from this. >> a wonderful experience. i hate to have to cut you off, but we're going to have to toss to rome right now with negotiations going on about the situation in libya. thank you. >> positive because around the decisions which were taken on the interlibyan dialogue a couple of days ago, the decision to sign the agreement for a government of national unit, and therefore to proceed down the road of national unity, around

those decisions, we saw an unprecedented i would say convergence between the various positions, including the e.u. position and other neighboring african countries. you will be distributed with a statement, but we agreed on two fundamental points. the first one was that we should support the agreement, which will be signed next week and do so because time is of the essence and we have to accelerate, step up a solution to the libyan crisis, particularly as it is confronted by a wave of terrorism, so we

fully support the decision to sign this agreement next week. the second message was to make every possible effort and to strengthen the base of this agreement. this will be the main challenge of the libyan leaders to carry forward the peace process, but the international community has engaged to support that whole process and so we all agreed to support the new government which will emerge from the various union of libyan factions. true economic assistance as well as diplomatic for the future stabilization of the country. we should know that the solution

to these problems will require a continuous support for a long period. we should not imagine that this very positive day's meeting will resolve all our problems, but to all intents and purposes, we have two very important decisions which have been taken today, the unanimous support of the principle stakeholders in the initiative and the support of the libyan side. i think that if there is consistent follow up by everybody as was committed today, i think this could really be a breakthrough for libya from

a conflict which has been dragging on for far too long. i would like to thank once again, you have the floor. >> good afternoon, good evening. >> i am really pleased to be here and grateful for the hosting of this important meeting and for his willingness to commit italy in the way that he has today and the prime minister has to the initiative to deal with the challenge of libya. italy, a near neighbor, obviously feels this challenge in a firsthand way and italy has a long history of engagement in libya, so we are grateful for italy's engagement, leadership, italy's knowledge and we look forward to continuing to work

together. i'm also very grateful for martin koller being here. i'm grateful our ministers who are here from 17 countries and four international organizations. the foreign minister from each of those countries, in a couple of cases, their deputies committed everybody to the same task. we came here today members of the libya support group, neighbors of libya, international organizations, because we cannot allow the status quo in libya to continue. it is dangerous for the viewability of libya. it is dangerous for libyans, and now because of the increased presence of daish purposefully migrating there, it is dangerous

for everyone, so we are determined to make the most of the fact that the majority of the house of representatives and a majority of the g.n.c. have come together ready to sign an agreement, and they refuse any longer to be blocked by one or two people or by the individual politics. they are determined to speak and move forward for libya and we are determined to support them in that effort. it is time to break this deadlock, time to move forward and embrace the future of libya. it is time to recognize our global responsibility, particularly those countries who have supported libya for all of the four years of this conflict now, four years plus, that bad habits have to be broken, a new direction, a new course set. the presence today of

representatives that those majorities will sign the agreement, committed today on the 16th reflects the broad international support for a unified secure and stable libya. conflict and instability have gone on for too long. the vacuum that has been left is a vacuum has has readily been filled by extremists and takes libya not to the direction of the government that can serve the needs of the people, but the direction of chaos, so the communique that we issued today calls on all parties to accept an immediate comprehensive ceasefire in all parts of libya and no one understands the need for that better than the libyan leaders who are here with us in rome. they represent, as i said, the majority of both of the entities

that have been at loggerheads and are now prepared to try to move forward. they know the unacceptable price that rivalry and personal ambition and or strife are inflicting on the people of libya. this is a country of 6 million people with enormous resources because of oil, not even capable of pumping all of the oil that is available to them. this is a country that could turn around and invest in infrastructure, education, health, citizens if it has a government that is capable and ready to do that and that's what we want to see. libyans have seen firsthand the hardship that is are being felt throughout their country today, particularly in the east and the south, and by members of every clan and every tribe and they have witnessed the emergence now

of a great threat to their country's future in the form of terrorists affiliated with daish who's for the purpose fighters and loathesome ideology are despiced by most libyans, but who seek regrettably every single opportunity to simply exploit and terrorize and fill a political vacuum. so today, those libyan leaders with the full backing of the united nations and the international community reaffirm support for a new government of national accord in keeping with the framework that has been the subject of negotiations now for much of the past year. this is not a surprise. it is not something being sprung on the people of libya. this is something libyans have worked on. this has been developed by libyans over the course that have full year of negotiations, and it deserves to breathe the air of the future and to freedom

and of possibilities. it deserves to broke out of gridlock. we expect that based on today's meeting, we expect that libyan officials will indeed proceed on wednesday to formalize their support by signing the agreement and more importantly, starting to implement it, putting together that government, and we, the support group that met here today committed that when that government is formed, we are prepared to meet with it rapidly in order to begin to layout the possibilities for what is needed in order to facilitate their capacity to govern. the representative's efforts to continue making progress on the libyan dialogue process is critical. we hope many libyans will now see this determination by their own citizens to move them from this conflict and towards the possibility of that future. it is up to libyans in the end,

and we were very clear to the libyans who were here, who placed their hopes and aspirations into political action and we wish them well. libya's neighbors and other international friends pledge today to do everything possible to enable the welcoming process of unification, of reconciliation and of stabilization. now, we are under no illusions about the difficulty inherent in the road ahead. we know that there are differences in terms of how tribes and regions and individuals manage their internal affairs, and it takes time to overcome the legacy of four decades of dictatorship, which robbed libya of any kind of incidents substitution of government that are legitimate.

people have to learn to work together and develop administrative and political skills that are required to make a government work. that is not easy, especially when there is still some inside and outside of libya. for their own selfish purposes, they are uninterested in reconciliation, unwilling to compromise and who actually want this process to fail. as the commune can i we reach today makes clear, those responsible for violence and those who obstruct and undermine libya's democratic transition need to be held strongly accountable. we are convinced that those who want to spoil libya's future are definitively in the minority. after all, despite its difficult modern history, libya has an enormous built-in set of advantage, starting with its young and dynamic population and

including its vast wealth of natural resources. since the revolution, the united states that invested about $330 million in aid, the vast majority of which was for humanitarian relief to a country that actually has resources and shouldn't need it, a country by the way where, you know, both sides are all sides are still receiving money from central banking institution. the libyans here we are convinced speak for most libyans. the leaders of the international community meeting here today, those leaders have endorsed when is the only legitimate basis for moving ahead, and that was said to us by the libyans themselves.

the russian deputy foreign minister mentioned that he thought this meeting was important, because it represented the reaffirmation beginning of the reaffirmation of the actual state of libya, and it was critical to take place. we say that those who persist trying to disrupt the agreement will pay a price for their actions. as we look forward, the security council of the united nations is a distinction path which we will employ in the days ahead, depending on our ability to frame that in a way we believe is meaningful. libya's a diverse country, but there is no inherent reason whatsoever that the government of national accord cannot succeed in bringing the country together and in having the

groundwork for permanent institutions that will respect the rights and interests of all to be put in place. that is the goal of our meeting here today. that's what we came here to advance, because we refuse to stand by and watch a vacuum filled by terrorists because all of us are unwilling to do what is necessary to help people who want their freedom, independence, want their country back. thank you. >> thank you very much. first of all, i must congratulate the minister for having arranged this really big conference here with 17 member states, friends of libya, international organizations. the conference was important and it was timely, because it gave everybody the chance to boost the political pros. having been the special representative of the secretary general now in libya for almost

four years, i sensed the big con sense and i was impressed by the consensus of the people of libya to end the division, to be united as one country, not to be subject to terrorist threats, and this is the wish of the libyan people. now, we have the chance to interact with members of the libyan political dialogue. also here, i was impressed by the cohesion, by the courage of those who were there who take great political and personal risks, but they represent the majority, the voice of the people of libya. that's why i was very happy to be here in rome today and secretary kerry, thank you very much for your excellent contribution in moving this train ahead. i think the train left the station now in the direction of signing this agreement on the 16th of december, i am

encouraged by the cohesion of the international community of all those who are around the table. now, there are those of course who still have concerns, who still oppose the agreement, and my message to those who oppose the agreement still and who do not want to join the mainstream in sirott is to broad that the basis now and really to come to sirott to forget the divorces of the past, to look to the future, because it all boils down to one important point, the people of libya want to have a government of national unity and the political agreement which has been negotiated now for more than a year and which provides the government of national unity something the libyan people desires, it is very important from my perspective, perspective of the united nation to broaden

the base and take those into the boat who really want to support this process. the situation in libya is at this time very dire. the threat of terrorism has to be addressed. it boils down to having a government tackling this and the con sense of the meeting today was also to address the problem of security, security in tripoli, to bring the government, which must be based at the end of the day in tripoli back to the capital, the seat of its institutions and future seeds of the government of national unity. i also make a few points on what the libyan people and we expect of the international community. this is immediately after the signature really to go ahead with the delivery of human assistance. as secretary kerry said, libya is a rich country, and it is a

shame it is in such a state. it has to be brought together. the libyan people deserve better. 2.4 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance out of the population of six. this has to end, and be participants of the libyan dialogue who spoke to us today, they made exactly this point, help us international community, to end the suffering, to end the kidnappings, to end the human trafficking, to end the terrorism in our country. everybody mentioned the fight against daish, which has to be tackled soon after the government will be in place. i feel very encouraged once again by what we have heard today. the cohesion of the international community, the commitment of the international community to support the people of libya, to stand behind the libyan political agreement,

behind those who support the libyan political agreement on the way ahead. thank you very much. >> what kind will be the role of italy in this process which has made a real step ahead today. the threat of daish is very important, as you know. above all, where it is cop send traded within it is a threat which the international

community will be focusing on in the next couple of months, as we are confronting it in other countries, but the message which must be quite clear today is that in the long term, we need to see the stablessation of libya in order to fight terrorism, as well. >> this is a press conference coming to us from rome. you are looking at the italian foreign minister. you heard from the u.s. envoy to libya and the u.s. secretary of state john kerry all seeming very optimistic about the agreement that has come out, bringing a peaceful resolution to the four year conflict in libya, a unity government. it has not yet been signed. they are saying that will happen later this week. more to come from london.

ending the conflict in libya, can a summit in italy bring sustained peace? hello, you're watching al jazeera live from london. we have just heard a news conference from rolle. we're going to bring you up to the very latest. russia said one of its war ships fired warning shots at a turkish vessel as tensions between the countries grow approximate. two are killed in the capital of the central
