7:00 pm
this is very important because this is the choice of the people who to be able to once again i would like to thank president across and i would like to thank. you for his efforts who we hope to be able to succeed all together in our interest thank you very much mr has answered. mr president thank you so much i will be just . fires out the prime minister of the u.n. and government base in tripoli this is. the the veteran lebanese diplomat is now the u.n. special representative he's also talking but listening to all of this with this is our correspondent. and what we seem to have arrived after this morning of talks in paris is one could call it a road a road map perhaps but there's certainly a plan in place that everyone in attendance seems to have agreed to.
7:01 pm
well that's right and what we've heard after this meeting here in paris is the the four main rival libyan leaders that were invited to attend this conference have signed an agreement to come up with a constitutional framework by september and then set a date for elections december the tenth we are told that they would like libyans to go to the polls now there was a lot of back slapping a lot of kind words as a man or mark or said that this was an historic moment the fact that these leaders are come together and agreed was something of a first and also that these leaders were joined by not only presented some international organizations such as yours united nations but also by representatives of nearly twenty countries a man all mark home saying that it was very important that those countries that have often been very divided and serve their own interests in libya or here in paris or new committed to try and change the situation to try to bring some form of
7:02 pm
stability to the country so yes as you alluded to there are loads and loads of countries that have interests vested in libya but what is france's particular interests and what has led to its leading involvement in the crisis situation in libya. well i think there's no doubt that. france is really at the forefront of trying to push for stability in libya and there are a few reasons for that so one is the fact that libya of course is just across the mediterranean sea from europe and what happens in libya has an impact on europe in particular in terms of the trafficking of drugs and people it's a it's on the migrant route of course and europe has been very keen to try and stop people arriving illegally on european sure and then france has got the other interests that is concerned about armed groups and weapons coming from libya across
7:03 pm
the sea to france so there are many reasons there indeed and i think that a man mark was somebody who is basically a young dynamic leader who believes that you need to get things done and get things done fast and that's why he's trying to get these leaders together here and this meeting he's saying is a triumph but many analysts are saying that perhaps the little bit too rushed the whole those elections by december is simply unrealistic and also there are some main protagonists who were not at this meeting we know that some representatives from at least thirty factions in western libya boycotted this meeting because they said it wasn't representative so without all the players on the ground here it's hard to imagine how things will really change no matter what people have agreed here in paris all right natasha thank you very much for that the trash about the live in paris now let's go to the libyan capital tripoli a chorus from that excuse me is mahmoud head. mahmoud actually was
7:04 pm
saying there are very many important players in the in the situation in libya not in attendance in that leasing in paris and that in itself is likely to undermine any kind of agreement that they have come up with that meeting in paris. exactly the idea of representation is a key word here because so many factions today have not been invited to the paris conference especially those strong key players on the ground like say for example the force of the armored groups that defeated eisel in the west of libya especially in the city of sirte it also those who. the opponents of engage in that have to are not also represented and also. their eminence of the. general national
7:05 pm
congress also are not represented in that conference so the idea of representation here is a key word today and also the idea of elections parliamentary and presidential elections many people believe that it could be the solution to the ongoing crisis in libya or at least part of the solution but it is not new france is inviting those legal rival politicians to come to a consensus to end the libyan crisis but the idea of elections is not new it was suggested by the u.n. envoy to the get a sense at the security council in september last year. in terms of an action plan submitted by of us but they're conducting election is by the end of this year it could be part of the solution but many people here and many keep key players say that it cannot be conducted in libya before adopting the new draft
7:06 pm
constitution and that's one of the of the reasons why the high state council was reluctant to attend today's conference the high state council yesterday put four of four conditions to move forward to this meeting among these points. is. adopting the constitution the new draft a constitution and before. moving on to conduct parliamentary and presidential elections and also on top of these conditions seize fight and immediate cease fires in the eastern the city of the now we understand that until today the eastern city of the now have been besieged by have to supporters and human suffering is excessive bathing in the eastern city of dirt and health officials are shelling densely populated areas many people have been killed since the battle for there was launched by have to earlier this month and including women and children in the eastern city of the and so nobody has spoken about the human suffering in the
7:07 pm
eastern city of dirt and as a pretty quiz it to move on to parliamentary and presidential elections nobody has spoken about the i.d.p.'s internally displaced people people of displaced were displaced from one of us here because of the operation dignity lost but have to for the last four years were displaced people who cannot return to their home town of one of our and they were stuck on the way two to one of our for the last three months also the people who are displaced by the war into an eleven even the. former. loyalists who are outside of the country and they cannot get back to libya so the human suffering and the settlement of all these crazies many people here think that it's a quiz it before moving on to parliamentary and presidential elections also again at a presentation here is a key award so many factions here especially key players and strong key players on
7:08 pm
the ground are not represented so the question now is ok what if mark would almost daily others i'm afraid i'm out i have to interrupt jay i have turned to right you would have to watch it we got a real sense of the picture there thank you very much but we could move on to other main story and that of course is the. and garza because israeli prime minister has lashed out at her mass and islamic jihad after a number of mortars were fired from gaza now messenger who says israel will exact heavy price from anyone who tries to harm him now those were his exact words the moose's 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 of israel and israel has hit back already at positions of hamas and islamic jihad in gaza. while the this situation has evolved as
7:09 pm
a boat carrying patients and students is trying to bring israel's eleven year long naval blockade of gaza the vote which has gone more than twenty kilometers off shore has now been surrounded by the israeli navy demonstrators say this is a peaceful protest and it's all part of the recent demonstrations which have been taking place near the israeli border fence let's go live to our correspondent gary for said harry i'm not entirely sure where you are you in ashdod in the south of israel this is where it is so this is where those mortars were aimed at. well you were in ashdod which is a little bit north of the of the area immediately surrounding gaza where those mortars fell this morning tuesday morning it was the largest volley of such mortar fire since the twenty fourteen war twenty eight mortars according to the israeli
7:10 pm
military one of which number of which were intercepted by israel's iron dome anti-missile system but also some of them did land in israeli territory and some of them exploded one of those took place in the grounds of a kindergarten before the children arrived for the school day but that is elicited a very strong response from the israeli government the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu talking about reacting with great force and already we have seen a number of hamas and islamic jihad sites attacked from the air inside gaza in response we are expecting that to continue it is as i say it is that the largest such mortar fire that we've seen for several years and so we can expect a strong israeli response as well the palestinian adjudication ministry inside gaza is saying that one of the one of the missiles fired from the air by israel landed close to a gazan school and that fragments of that explosion came into the into the school
7:11 pm
as well though no casualties reported so far in gaza one israeli injured by fragments in the hand and taken to hospital light injuries only all right so while we have the israeli warplanes bombing targets in gaza what's the situation at sea with regard to the the demonstration boat the protest votes there is a tempting to say that it could perhaps a breakthrough this eleven year blockade. we i think you're absolutely right in calling it a protest rather than a real attempt to try and get through the the. the target that they're aiming for is limits all in cyprus but i think everybody on board everybody observing knows that they aren't going to get there as you say just as you said just a couple minutes ago it has been according to reports surrounded these these two votes by the israeli forces we are not clear exactly how things will play out from there there had been reports earlier of some warning shots being fired but it could
7:12 pm
well be that the israeli navy decides to bring it here to the port of ashdod to a military naval base behind me here and then we have to see if that happens how they process what they do with those people on board but this is as you say in context of the kind of demonstrations that we've seen over the last several weeks and the sniper fire that's come from these really side which has killed more than a hundred of the protesters there is an effort to to try and make these peace peaceful protests these attempts to show the wider world the effects of the blockade now we wait to see how the the more recent exchange of fire is going to play out whether there's any further escalation herefore said live in ashdod in southern israel.
7:13 pm
