government. libya tries to build a stronger platform in northamption africa. >> after two days of heated debate it seems that the tibruk parliament is no closer to backing the parliament and libya is no closer to political stability. it appears there are many points to this agreement in including who makes up this 18-member cabinet more than a third of libya's population is not represented. >> dozens of militias fighting for control since the overthrow of muammar qaddafi in 2011. libya has had two competing

because it will not be hurting ordinary koreans. rather it will be hurting those officials, those close to the regime who have money sorted away here in china. but a spokesman said that they have no knowledge of this particular matter. >> what a better way to turn 106. if you're turning 106 what better way than to share a dance with the president and the first lady at the white house. >> unabashed, unimpair harassed. she said the secret to a long and happy life is to keep on moving.
