is likely to hold discussions with the u.s. officials about the possible summit between kim jong un and donald trump. the leaders of libya's factions are meeting in the french capital they are talking to end the seven year political crisis the eastern based renegade general holly for have today is there along with the head of the u.n. backed government in tripoli the prime minister fires alsa raj well we can discuss that summit taking place in paris now with cloudier gas in the she's a senior analyst for libya the international crisis group and she's joining us live from rome thank you for talking to us you're in rome italy of course is the former colonial master of libya there are at least nineteen representatives of different countries at this summit taking place how influential have outside interests be in the scenario being played out in libya on the ground i mean first of all the

international community and specific actors played an important role in twenty eleven when there was a push to topple gadhafi and ever since we can say that libyan actors themselves have been relying on one country or another. in order to pursue their own goals and i think the relationship is a two way relationship there are strategic priorities for some european countries first of all in libya there are gulf interests being played out in libya so of course international community has been playing and is still playing a role for the for the future of libya but also libyan actors are in some cases using international support of one country or another so which leads me on to my next question and that is how helpful is it given that the international players in libya seem to be divided as to what should come first a new constitution a new constitutional arrangement should we say or elections what should come first

. well the purpose of the summit in paris today according to french officials was very much to to bring the international community towards one common position the problem is that the summit was prepared somewhat in a rush only three weeks elapse from when the first idea of this meeting marriage to end when it's actually taking place today and as you said some key members. of those present there today in paris have differing views the controversial issues is first of all whether we need whether libya needs the approval of the constitution before going to elections there is a draft constitution that was approved by the constitution drafting assembly in twenty seventeen that should be put to a vote but there are some countries i think france is one of them that doesn't necessarily think that the prove all of this constitution is a precondition for holding elections and would rather go into elections and then deal with the constitution later these are like important. legal issues because

without a proper legal framework how are you going to have presidential elections and this is another thing that france once and i think the riffs are between you know italy on one hand france on the other egypt as well. and libyans themselves have not fully agreed on what is the best roadmap for the political future of the country and finally then cloudy i mean how much leverage does does france actually have macro dizzee have the influence that can fool some sort of deal at this summit in paris in the will then be implemented on the ground in libya. well there are two problems here first of all who's there who is represented there in paris we only have four delegations of the four important political and military personalities. the head of the presidency council general house the head of the libyan national

army that controls most of eastern libya the head of the parliament in tobruk and khaled michiru the head of the state council in tripoli while these people are important and their respective institutions are important they do not capture the entirety of the very fragmented libyan political and military scene and you have important constituencies that are not represented there so even if these four actors that are there in paris do sign up to a deal and we are very much hoping that this is mainly an event that will lead to a declaration of principles rather than just an a court there's always a risk that those back home then refused to implemented or those present in paris that renegade on their promises were right claudia thank you very much indeed now to colombia where the military says it's killed eleven dissident members of the home of rebel group fall in the country's south the defense minister says they'd

been threatening politicians entrepreneurs and civilians in the region you know for a sham comes a day after the first round of colombia's presidential election the government's p.c.l. with fox has been one of the main. this demonstrates our renewed ability to dismantle the residual group that has brought so much paid to this area of colombia we are continuing operations in the area will bear nado perez salazar is a researcher of armed conflict and peace process at the coffee university of colombia and he disputes the government's claims about the operation against fox dissidents . certainly there is a clear message from the government they're great the day after the first round of elections to deliver such a lethal blow against the group which has not been clearly identified as a renegade part and they have been identified as being. doing. extortion threats but it's not very clear.

what their identity is they may be part but it's not clear that since it was a lethal blow you don't know if that was a military operation or a land that was a bombing liberation but that certainly puts a high. bar for other indicate groups who are acting in the territory doing things so it such as extorting business and government. now to brazil where truckers have refused to abandon industrial action despite an offer by the government to cut diesel prices now the strike is in its second week and it's causing shortages in fuel and some food items around the country and there are signs across is could be fun as all workers threaten to join the protests there are reports out from sao paolo. in brazil yeah they're saying

they've reached agreement on the protest is over but brasilia is a long way from here a most of the rest of brazil. at least truck drivers tens of thousands of them either haven't received the message or don't plan to heed it the locals we are not only here for the truck drivers but for all brazilians who are suffering with the rises in electricity water gas everything brazilians have to work just to survive we are not members of any political party we are the people who are suffering the most. the same the rise in the price of diesel makes it hard for them to earn a living and tempers afraid and this used to be a strike now it's more than a strike brazil has realized that we can't keep going with these politicians who over the years we've seen involved in corruption bribery and scandals. the government has offered a ten percent reduction but can hardly afford the more than one of the costs a billion dollars it will have to pay the state or company petrobras in

compensation was taken many here by surprise is just how quickly a country as well developed as brazil with the seventh largest economy in the world can be brought to its knees with the economy fragile a weak government can only offer temporary partial solutions with everybody here now very well aware of how reliant we all are on a constant flow of fuel. protesting drivers have been blocking roads across brazil it means many gas stations have run out of fuel while those still have supplies attract lines of desperate motorists that can stretch to several kilometers is. not the economic recovery many experts second is happening. in illinois. brazil's economy is not weak was weak as the political movement in this country we've had a former president arrested and now have a weak president in office he has no leadership or charisma and the increase in oil and gas prices is just added to the problems. i even if all of brazil's truck

drivers return to work immediately it would still take several days for the country to return to normal but with presidential elections due in october it will be a normality fruitless tension and the threat of more strikes and protests. when there are just. a starbucks is closing thousands of his coffee shops across the united states on tuesday the staff training on racial bias the chainless criticize arsenal twenty black men were arrested whilst waiting for a friend at one of its stores in philadelphia reynolds has more from washington. at the calabash tea house shelves are filled with traditional remedies herbal mixtures to ease aching joints soothe frazzled nerves and even spark romance it's a form of knowledge handed down from centuries past says owner sonia ayman i'm

a fifth generation herbalist a natural healer and so my job is really to continue that tradition but another part of her job is working with employees to make them aware of implicit bias when they're on the basis of race gender age sexual orientation or anything else we're always talking to our staff from moment to moment about their interactions with both about exampling the best behavior and best practices to make sure everyone feels that their welcome if you don't correct it in the moment it becomes a deep seated behavior that it's implied that it's ok and it's not ok as part of starbucks effort to undo the damage its reputation suffered following the widely publicized arrest of two black customers at one of its stores the company is shutting eight thousand shops on may twenty ninth and giving employees a training session on implicit bias and customer service we're here to make

starbucks a place where everyone everyone feels welcome starbucks barred the press from the sessions but released a video showing what employees will be taught social scientists say changing people's behavior and implicit biases is hard work and takes time employee training sessions are a start but not a solution as they also say the effort must include specific achievable goals do you have outcomes that would signal that the diversity efforts inclusion efforts are working but a lot of times that's where it stops people say oh oh. we just want people to be unbiased so nonspecific how would you ever know if you actually achieve achieved it centuries of racial bias and stereotyping have left deeply etched patterns of thought and behavior that are not easily removed it's a sad result of the stain of racism and so strongly underneath american culture that we grow up into and we begin the see certain people are suspicious of other

people's less suspicious certain people as valuable other people's less valuable back at the calabash ayman has her own ideas on fighting bias i think the number one rule is assume the best. part of the issues that we see with bias in the news is that the worst was always assumed and that's what we get into trouble. approach to customer satisfaction seems to be working business is good and she's opening another cheese shop later this year robert oulds. live now to the scene in the eastern belgian city where there has been an incident in which at least three people have been killed a man shooting dead two police officers we understand as well as a possible the man himself was then actually killed by the security forces and now this is an incident that we understand is being treated as a terrorism incident by belgian police and two other police officers were injured

there was also some sort of hostage scenario as well the man before he was killed taking a woman hostage this is according to media reports in belgium so this is the latest scene there as you can see things have been restored. this was this was some hours ago where three people were shot dead and indeed the attacker himself so that's the scene. right up today with developments in belgium today hear it out as they're. now israel is central bank chief has warned the state was close to losing investors' trust the stock market slumped on a fair repeat elections the president appointed carlo quarterly a former international monetary fund. officer as prime minister on monday but is unlikely to be approved by the two populous parties who dominate palm and the euro is also full and unfair that another election will effectively be

democracy president matter rather chose to ignore his constitutional prerogatives and prevent from power political force the five star movement which received eleven million votes they've been calls for mass protests around the president's impeachment as head of state the latter seems constitutionally unlikely but it's a nasty turn that sets the scene for a potentially ugly standoff we are going to see throughout the next three months is an overarching theme of the people versus the pub establishment there with the head of. for the first time becoming the main target of the entire campaign there's also the economy to worry about italy's cost of borrowing is rising with the political uncertainty if the country's sky high debt were to become unserviceable then real crisis would arrive in the euro zone's third largest economy add to that a debate that will only grow louder perhaps angrier now about italy's membership of

the eurozone as the nationalist northern league and anti establishment five star movement vie for an even bigger slice of the next electoral pine. really did his best to calm the waters. in the past few days tensions have increased on the financial markets you know that the spread has increased but the italian economy is still growing and the budget remains under control i can assure you that a government. will guarantee a prudent. public accounts. in italy political instability is a fact of life so they'll be little surprise about these twists and turns but no less anxiety over the outcome. one thousand kilometers. have the details coming up

prosperity you saw here their story to al-jazeera. getting out of gaza a boat in search of medical assistance tries to breach the blockade as several rockets are intercepted by israel. launching al-jazeera life from a headquarters and. also had a chance to end the years of civil war the political factions of libya try to find common ground the talks that neither side can afford to miss a top north korean official is heading to washington to resurrect the proposed nuclear summit it's. turning the

art of war into the art of peace how iraq is cultivating this spirit of reconciliation. hello the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has lashed out at hamas and islamic jihad's after a number of mortars were fired from gaza that's anyone who says israel will exact a heavy price from anyone who tries to harm it's well the mortars and shells were intercepted by israel's iron dome defense system the military says at least twenty five rockets were launched towards communities in the south. meanwhile a leader of the islamic jihad says all options are open to respond to what he called israel's aggression. as long as the reason occupation resistance is a legitimate right for the palestinian people we preserve all options to the mass public

peaceful protest and preserving our right to respond to the zionist occupation as crimes well those mortars were fired as a boat carrying patients and students is attempting to break israel's eleven year long naval blockade of gaza demonstrators say it's a peaceful protest as part of recent demonstrations near the is really friends since two thousand and seven after hamas rose to power in gaza israel has continued to impose a land sea and air blockade israel bans fishing beyond six nautical miles or eleven kilometers which has a devastating impact on gaza's fishing industry and the israeli navy routinely uses live ammunition against palestinian fisherman last year there were at least two hundred thirteen such attacks resulting in deaths and injuries so two stories happening at the same time and we're covering both from gaza and israel bernard smith is at the gaza seaport but first we'll cross over to harry fawcett in us dogs

to tell us what more the israeli military is saying harry as a result of the mortars that were fired from gaza into southern israel. well yes they say that there were twenty eight mortars fired over the course of some three hours one of those mortar shells landing inside the grounds of a kindergarten early in the morning before any children were present but nonetheless that is one reason for the very strong reaction coming from israeli politicians and indeed the israeli prime minister as you were saying he said that israel would respond with great force to what happened the israeli military is saying that it is undertaking measures already inside the gaza strip there was an air strike on according to use security sources from inside gaza two separate installations one belonging to the alko some brigades the military wing of hamas one belonging to islamic jihad and this is in terms of the mortar fire coming from inside gaza the biggest such incident that we've seen since the twenty fourteen war

that would suggest that israel will be putting on a bigger response than the one that we have seen so far there have been no casualties reported so far from these strikes initially by israel if you go by what the prime minister was saying if you go by past actions by israel and i think we can expect more to come ok harry thank you for that update from our studs now it's over to bernard smith who is joining us from the gaza poor bernard as we're saying there is a boat carrying patients and students attempting to break that israeli blockade on gaza how far has the bow gotten right now and what do we expect the israeli response to be. well just before i mentioned not during just as you were speaking to her then the work couple more israeli airstrikes that just a second zero hit targets to the north in the northern part of the gaza strip so seeing a lot of dust coming up from those was far as the boats are concerned the boat is concerned it is now beyond the horizon into the mediterranean behind me israel has

a nine nautical mile blockade it enforces. strictly at the end of the end of one or two miles they say the people in the boat the last we heard from them about fifteen minutes ago was they got eight nautical miles out and they were continuing to go that target they said is limit solve the port in cyprus they will not get dillema soul they will be stopped before they get that far by the israeli military we're told that some warning shots were fired earlier on by israel's navy we haven't heard of any reports since on board that boat eleven passengers who need medical treatment plus some students heading for university or looking for work it is essentially a symbolic attempt to break the blockade as they know they'll not be allowed through but it highlights is part of this great march of return that we've had for the last two months this is the first time by sea that palestinians here in gaza have tried to break blockade ok got it thank you very much for that update bernard

smith from the gaza ports. now the leaders of libya's rival factions have been meeting the french president in paris for talks aimed at ending seven years of political instability and unrest libya has not had a stable government since the leader of forty two years moammar gadhafi was toppled that was back in two thousand and eleven that led to a power vacuum with no one off already having full control and a myriad of armed groups including i saw carving their own spaces so there are now two rival governments effectively splitting the country into east and west the one in tripoli is backed by the united nations while the other government in the eastern city of has been supported by the u.a.e. by egypt and by russia and they've been coordinating with the renegade general. he's the most powerful political figure in the east and france to her support

militarily by deploying advisors and special forces soldiers toss about laura joining us now from paris so a very complicated political situation in libya and that's also what's come out of this meeting that's being held in paris. well we haven't heard from any of the main players from this meeting that they are still inside but we are expecting the french president the u.n. back prime minister of libya. and the u.n. special envoy for libya salami to come out shortly and give a press conference on what was decided what we have heard. and this is from one very close aide over the prime minister what we've heard is that these rival leaders from libya have agreed to create some sort of constitutional framework by september for libya which would then pave the way to elections later in december

and now if that is the case it would be seen here in france as something of a success. a man or mark or one of the aims of this meeting was to try and come up with a road marked road map which would pave the way to these elections there is no word though on whether or not the leaders agreed on some of the other points that were going to be raised at this meeting such as creating a national on.
