accountable there's already been a letter from the senate to the president invoking the global magnitsky act which insists that sanctions be imposed against those held responsible for human rights abuses or in the specific case the death of course argy so pressure coming to bear from congress president trump himself says their teams forming a very strong opinion on the matter and are signs of hardening within the administration the secretary of state my phone peo phoned the crown prince of saudi arabia over the weekend and reportedly told him in very strong terms that the u.s. would hold those accountable when they were found when they were identified as being involved in the murder of the journalist britain's foreign secretary says that there will be rapid progress and bringing to justice the people of responsible for murdering kushal jeremy hunt made the comments after meeting saudi arabia's

for a peace conference and. the summit to end seven years of fighting and division but with so many competing interests inside and outside the country pace and libya could prove. the latest attempt to bring peace to libya picks up where many of those have failed with leaders and representatives from thirty countries gathering just across the mediterranean in sicily one key goal here to get behind a new u.n. led election timeline beginning early next year with a dialogue among libyans themselves to decide what kind of democracy they want we want them clearly doing the national conference what kind of election do you want. because we don't have the house of representatives has been.

has been facing. legislative i think we need. a presentation. when nato bombs help rebel fighters to overthrow gadhafi in two thousand and eleven it was far from the libya's troubles. seven years later the country is divided between warring militant groups and opposing political factions each claiming control of vast swathes of territory the peace conference in poland brings together libya's major opposing sides as well as some of the key foreign powers with influence in the region so fires raj who heads the un backed government in and around tripoli will be joined by general. whose breakaway army holds much of the east battling for control of the south meanwhile are ethnic tribes and cross border

is on a collision course with the european union or the budget for next year the european commission has rejected the budget and set a deadline of tuesday if you want but a song. from the conflict could be playing into the hands of euro skeptic leaders. you know has been running his bakery for two years business is good he says but it's a struggle making a living as a small business owner he pays more than sixty percent tax and sees little financial benefits but he says he loves what he does and will keep doing it his hope is that the government will stick to its word and take on the european union to its knees if we can call me. so. i think government has the opportunity to really not just in europe but. if you were up to me and you refuse to. accept. his opinion is one of

a growing number of those becoming increasingly anti. when the government tried to push forward a budget for next year that outlined a flat tax for companies and wealthier individuals and a basic income for the unemployed the european commission rejected it it said it would plunge italy's heavily indebted economy into a dangerous downward spiral that could impact the rest of the continent the government has remained defiant towards the reasons why is because it's profiting politically from the situation when the european commission rejected its of these fiscal plan it played right into the. far right and populist deputy prime ministers but there's been little thought for the consequences could lie ahead. italy's economy has been struggling with poor productivity for the. last thirty years. worse and its prospects where all the

economies have managed to rebound italy has been able to emerge from that brought a fax swooped upon by anti e.u. politicians who lay the blame on the european union despite their reliance on it is incredibly dependent on europe the best companies thrive because they can export and most of the exports are to the other european union countries so the moment you. bet on the collapse of the european union institutions it's going to be inevitable the trade will collapse and so will the italian economy. if italy fails to cooperate then it would face sanctions and fines from the commission for adding to its economic burden it's a gamble for the government one that it does not want to lose. our jazeera rome. now two opposition leaders in democratic republic of congo have withdrawn from
