a violent confrontation in tripoli. algeria as intelligence chief is dismissed as activists join mass protests seeking the removal of those still loyal to former president of the mozzies. the british prime minister also in you for yet another delay as she wants it three more months. and then for the milwaukee bucks to have secured the best in the n.b.a. the bucs latest win ensuring home court advantage throughout the upcoming hail. fellow troops loyal to libyan war. after edging closer to the capital that's as fears grow if a major confrontation and forces supporting the u.n. backed government have been deployed to defend tripoli while have as promising in his words to liberate the city so have to troops have now taken control of the town
6:50 pm
of a very young as they close in on the capital but they suffered a setback in the city of zawiya that's about fifty kilometers west of the capital nearly one hundred forty of half that fighters have surrendered to u.n. back government forces at least thirty vehicles. the u.n. security council is to hold an emergency meeting on the crisis the secretary general and when he gets harris is in libya he's expected to meet in the coming hours and a short while ago he posted this message on his twitter accounts i am flying from tripoli to it's a group and benghazi remains the same avoid a military confrontation i reiterate that there is no military solution for the libyan crisis only a political one so that echoed comments he made earlier after meeting the head of the u.n. backed government in tripoli. and
6:51 pm
. let's bring in the head he's joining us from tripoli so until you get sara's critic clearly trying to deescalate that situation in libya just bring us right up to speed with what's happening on the ground close to tripoli. will. now a photo from of the city of misrata allied with the national accord the government alongside other forces from in tripoli are now advancing towards the west of the libyan capital tripoli they say they are trying to join forces led by general who is part of the official army led by and backed the government
6:52 pm
of national accord now they are trying to join the. government forces in iraq. that's north of the u.n. where the clashes are going on between have to his forces and forces loyal to their government and the back to government of national accord on the other hand on the other in the west of tripoli as you know daryn around one hundred one hundred twenty eight military individuals surrendered to the are loyal to have to or they surrendered and have forces in the. city that's around fifty kilometers to the west from the capital tripoli we understand that the military individuals who surrendered they are they came from. and they're sort of man to the coastal cities and west of the capital tripoli and they pledge
6:53 pm
allegiance to have to months ago now the situation in the very end remains tense have the forces pulled out from riyadh but the are in the outskirts of what he and clashing with the government forces and what are we expecting from that meeting that are going to take place in the coming hours between the tide ourself and if i have to will. has just tweeted that he is flying to meet officials in the west of the country maybe including you have got him to himself and the speaker of the to a bit of base to government parliament. because as he tweeted he wants to convince the rival factions in the east of the country that the military solution is not is not going to end the libyan crisis a political solution is the only solution to as a way out of the current libyan crisis. what are going ahead with an update from
6:54 pm
tripoli thank you let's take the song with most of our for today he's an independent libyan academic and journalist who's joining us via skype from paris thanks for being with us on the news hour how significant is it now that. his forces are really on the outskirts of the capital tripoli and he's selling his forces to simply advance to the capital. well that's right it's very significant. very. very surprising element the. reason why this committee should not. be mentioned not. going to be no less than. ten days. in the national compounds abode by right in the service and sort of. media to come up with some kind of a solution to the solution and then makes it quite surprising that it takes
6:55 pm
them this moment my only. some kind of. western libya particularly around. southwest or something new this sort of available warrants for most of them to take action and that's one of them but they . continue parsing in this kind of. increased use they should know are. closed which. is what i want to see why is it that why is it that you say that because according to him he sat on advancing towards the capitol and even then you went back government to the national correspondent to their advances have tied his advances by issuing a general alert so clearly they're on high alert. well it's very likely to
6:56 pm
be the line there at the such situations it's not surprising but doesn't tell you this because for two reasons one mr johnson has made the commitment before the last of which was a number of the most to go to which this inaugural being i think nations in boiling this on the surface and then because they're active this year in two thousand and eighteen as well in meeting bin virus and later on last year. that he will need to be you only will move the solution to the to be in crisis. as i said you know just a few days away from the conference with the six of nation off of new developments and we want to kick the general and some of the struggle there is in the future when you. need it the day so that's the second reason why i backed off of the
6:57 pm
need to come down deescalate the. what has getting both of them out of this whole sort of woe is the. millions. amounts of rock a group those who are there close to the kind of the i think they are not under his control who control and they just came around and said ok you are sworn to be national and that's why he is the beginning why did you bring forth the national called law and forces the victim as it was and. what to say. what's why it's two point six white people going to school she and then the parsing going to come to however yes this is coming home on our right the hafetz or we thank you for speaking to us from paris. and you. media are reporting the intelligence chief. has been fired he's a retired army general who's a close ally of the former president of the laws these beautifully go take
6:58 pm
a look at the scenes from the capital algiers where protesters have gathered once again they're demanding the prime minister and the speaker of the upper house step down immediately activists have called for rallies targeting those overseeing the political transition and have shown loyalty to. the algerian leader on that the former leader that as he was pushed out of power on shoes they after weeks of protests the seventy seven year old speaker of the upper house. that there has stepping in as interim leader he'll have to three months to organize an election once a date is confirmed candidates have forty five days to submit their bids but been saw this is barred from running but officials who regulate the polls are seen as part of beautifully because establishment and civil society groups have called on protesters to maintain the pressure until all members of his cabinet are removed
6:59 pm
let's speak to george joffe is an analyst focusing on algeria and the research at the school of oriental and african studies he's speaking to us from london good to have you with us on the al-jazeera news hour so just your take on the latest report that we're getting is that the intelligence chief has not been fired. well general tartaric was extremely unpopular inside the security services and also with the army command he had been a loyal deputy to the previous head of the security services general media in general may the embers falls through tire three years ago and i think what's happened now is that certain good scores are being settled the result is the target is no out of office and that begins to remove some of the infrastructure of the boot of the cories g.m. but it will only be a beginning and whether it really applies a change in the institutions of the state or not that i doubt very much what about the way forward we were just playing some latest pictures from algeria where
