and stability and a political analyst and defender of the tripoli base joins me now via skype from london. thank you for being with us. what do you make, first of all, of the revised list of cabinet ministers, was it necessary. will it find the peace and stability they are different questions. the vote that the collapsed. in some cases most of the militias are in tripoli. it's needed. the majority of the discussions that have gone on to inform the government are not talking about the real question or going down the line.

that is the government can d endure. also in the last couple of days, there had been a physical blow. it is a vicarious situation. they have to show and endure. >> just to tick up on the bes imism and talk about the fact this it is precarious. why is it difficult for libyan leaders to find a common ground. this is a process that has been going on for months, years. >> the majority has been about saving the revolution. fighting on the ground is around

resources. most broke away during the civil war, around who will have the biggest peace of the tie is a main concern. one of the major issues is a case of 50%. the oil is the worst in decades. in that report, the way the settlement is arrived at, the other factor has been affecting efforts there. or policy ambitions, but not trying what is wanted in the rule of law.

and those four or five have gone out the window, not only in the last couple of months, the last couple of years. it's necessary in the last year and a half of discussions, they have not focused on bringing anything to the table. it's really the piece cabinet. fighting that is taking place on the streets, as soon as it is taking police we haven't come up face to face with the elephants in the room, unless we address the elephants in the room, it will be the case now. >> talk about some of the elephants in the room. what do you think now? >> the threat is that the struggle for power in the east of the country. there is a war, and they certainly have the presence of i.s.i.s. on the ground. those that brought i.s.i.s.

through, not only for i.s.i.s., but they have a localized civil war. ownership. and those are some of the areas that have unravelled. and we can't bring it back to the brink unless we address those points. this is not about providing i.s.i.s. they are there as obstacles. there are other groups necessarily working with i.s.i.s., but are fuelling i.s.i.s., by trying to fight against the war, also they are trying to work. you'll be in a situation where there's not much you can agree on, and the civilian provision had a massive debt and there were outside powers of allowing to express a foreign policy.

by using the factors, that's one of the main factors that frustrates, not only the revolution, but in the last couple of months to find an agreement. it has not only been involved in that, but in the meddling. in that report, there's not really local conversation. there's conversations and libya and north africa. >> appreciate looking and for you giving us your thoughts. >> that is giving us your thoughts via skype from london. >> pope francis urged followers in mexico to transform their country into a land of opportunity. a suburb in mexico city plagued with violence and drugs. they were arriving the to stay

>> "inside story" takes you beyond the headlines, beyond the quick cuts, beyond the soundbites. we're giving you a deeper dive into the stories that are making our world what it is.

hello, you are watching al jazeera, the top stories, turkey says it will keep shelling in northern syria, it wants the syrian kurdish y.p.g. to withdraw from areas captured in northern aleppo, y.p.g., supported by the u.s. refused libya's presidential council named a revised list of 18 ministers. the group will have to be approved by internationally recognised parliament. the u.n. envoy to libya votes this will bring peace and stability to the east pope francis is encouraging mex cans not to emigrate. he held mass in a pure neighbourhood highlighting the dangers of drugs and violence. one day after the death of

supreme court justice antonin scali says a debate over his success is raging. president obama said he'll elect someone. republicans say it should wait until whoever wins the election in november. either way it will dominate talks. >> reporter: candidates agree on little. >> ted cruz pushed for roberts, and he let everyone down supporting obama care. >> i share the views that donald trump has. >> reporter: as mourners light candles and flowers in memory of supreme court justice scali, there's one subject they are in harmony, president obama should not name a replacement. the president should not name. the senate has not confirmed a

nominee named in the election year. >> it's true by less than a few months. ronald reagan named anthony kennedy in 1977. he was confirmed in regan's last year in office. cruz can use his position to block a vote on the nominee. >> does that mean you can filibuster anyone that the president nominates. >> absolutely. this should be a decision for the peep. >> the board can function. and tied in with lower court rulings. and with more liberal justicitieses than conservatives, the work ethic is fine. nevertheless, the next justice should be named and confirmed after obama. >> i think we want the contingent on the united states court. constitution is clear. the president makes the

appointment. senate confirms. >> when the court is considering weighty issues such as abortion and the power of unions. it sets up a battle that could lead to the presidency, the congress and the supreme court in play in the election. jason johnston is a professor of political science and communications in the north-east of ohio state and says obama may have a tough time pointing scali. >> there's no candidate that president obama will nominate that will be approved by the senate. within an hour of justice scali's passing away, the head of the republicans, mitch mcconnell said no, we are not going to do anything, and the head of the judiciary committee said we will not schedule a vote. the only way that president obama put someone to bed is if he appoints someone and puts

that person on this week while the senate is in recess. my guess is none of the people on the list will be who the president picks. the issue will not be whether the person has individual merit. the republican will not put that person through, but whether the person will be placed on the bench and turned into a battle. in general. the only part scans you care about, conservatives are we have to make sure about the next justice. most don't care. this will be different. the court is aware that they are not funning. who is -- functioning. who is blamed for not replacing one of the issues. it's not something that affects republicans. independent voters will say it's functional. most of the republican party airs steadfast in the position.

they are not going to let obama do this until someone is appointed. >> hundreds of palestinians travelled to the border in egypt. opening for the first time. three days. more than 20,000 hoped to cross. some with urgent medical needs. a fraction of the number have been given permission to enter. >> reporter: they have been waiting for days, some years to get out of gaza. some leave the gaza strip. many hoping. egypt rarely opening the forecrossing. it feels the egyptian military control in 2013. >> we have 25,000 registered humanitarian cases in the gaza strip. the estimate is 1,000 gets to travel. that's 20,000 in need of help

the agreement is not in jeopardy. >> it is important to the next generation. hopefully this will be stopped because of the pace. some here are nervous about the prospect of autonomy. it would wave things in favour of the muslims. >> i'm happy that the law was not passed. i don't want to be under control of muslims. >> mindanao has land that is seen as a tourist attraction. >> keep the peace legislation is power for all the major stakeholders. there's resistance for the settlement. some groups rejected any deal with manila. a few days ago bombdisposals had another explosive device at this police station. stability, the chance to rebuild shattered lives is all that is
