that she wanted to investigate the potential of war crimes being committed in afghanistan not just by u.s. forces but also by the taliban and the haqqani network she was keen to concentrate on the period between two thousand and three and two thousand and four and not just things that happened in afghanistan but also so-called black sites were u.s. military u.s. intelligence called high profile targets for interrogation know some detainees were suggesting that they had experienced torture they had experienced rape and experienced sexual violence as far as the i.c.c. was concerned that was enough for them to begin the process of investigating the u.s. was very much against this idea saying that any investigation by the i.c.c. would impinge on u.s. sovereignty they were also saying that they would stop anyone coming into the country hence the revoking of the entry visa and they also talked about the potential of economic sanctions if there was not enough to damp down these

investigations have had u.n. experts human rights experts have said the improper infringement of the what of the i.c.c. see the u.s. says that all they're doing is simply protecting american citizens who are doing what they were asked to do to protect the united states when the prosecutor had her entry visa revoked that does not impact on the work that she does with the u.n. she can still apply as a diplomat to go to the u.n. to brief the security council as she's done in the past and she will do so again we are told by her office but it's also important to note that the united states is not a member of the i.c.c. now there are other big countries such as russia and china. still ahead on al-jazeera. whether it's asylum whether it's everything you want it illegal immigration can't take any more. message to people trying to come to the u.s.

european council president donald tusk is proposing a flexible twelve month delay to practice it u.k. prime minister theresa may has asked the e.u. for a three month extension until the end of june but any delay must be agreed to by all leaders at a summit in brussels next week and the hayward has more with just a week to go until britain's already delayed departure date from the e.u. the u.k.'s prime minister on able to get a deal through parliament wants to delay brics it yet again writing to the e.u. calling for an extension until the end of june none of our economy is growing fast enough to guarantee that an ideal scenario wouldn't push us into recession so it's a bad outcome all round and i think the french understand that i think germans understand that and you know what we are looking for. just to avoid a long extension the e.u. itself wants to avoid the u.k. crashing out with no deal it also doesn't want

a series of short delay so the idea of a longer extension possibly a year is being talked about in brussels but that would have to be approved by all the e.u. leaders at an emergency summit next week so the question will be has the prime minister got sufficient detail and sufficient. can you give your opinion is sufficient assurances that june thirtieth is a sensible day and has a plan of how to get there and will the e.u. think actually would be into play for domestic issues that the european parliament elections is that a sensible date for them and that will be the big question over the next week or so . and an extension could see britain having to field candidates but the parliamentary elections in may which will be unpalatable to many of those who voted to leave. to reason may is still trying to win support from both sides of the political divide she's still coming under attack from some within her own party and

talks with the opposition are challenging we all want to break this deadlock we want the talks to continue but compromise does require change writing on twitter the arch euro skeptic conservative m.p. jacob wrote if a long extension leaves the stock in the e.u. we should be as difficult as possible we could veto any increase in the budget obstruct the putative e.u. army and block missed him across integration is schemes and her letter to donald tusk to raise i'm a makes it clear that the current political impasse simply can't go on the public space in politics is being damaged and she acknowledges the e.u. is desire to move on from brics that britain could soon find itself out of the e.u. decision making process there's still no clear path. those to when that will actually happen i mean he would westminster and germany has asked the e.u.

gaza israel border fence israeli forces entered dozens of other protesters the demonstrations which are known as the great march of return began in march of last year people are demanding an end to the blockade and the right to return to lands occupied by israel. has more from gaza. at a time when this egyptian led mediation between hamas and other palestinian factions in israel is still ongoing and on a day when it was indicated by hamas officials that those negotiations are still on a positive track things did get a lot more tense than many people would have wanted at the site of the great march of return protest that we are out here today in the last few hours you had many ambulances whizzing by we've been told by the ministry of health in gaza that dozens of people were injured by israeli live fire and one must wonder if that is going to put a damper on the negotiations going forward at a critical time when there have been confidence building measures going this past

week when the situation in gaza the mood has been cautiously optimistic will what happened today that the tear gas that we saw the burning of tires of the fact that so many people we are being told have been injured is that something that's going to cause tensions going forward thousands of protesters in mali have condemned the government for failing to curb ethnic pilots and march in the capital bamako demanding the resignation of president abraham public archita protests one of the biggest in recent years have been triggered by the killing of one hundred sixty villagers from the ethnic group last month and the rival community are suspected of carrying out that attack the good is the president. is not cut people off from solving the country's problems he must accept the people who she's democratic change and not. really know to cut people off solving security problems.

the world is getting ready to remember what when at least eight hundred thousand people were killed in one hundred days sunday marks twenty five years since the rwandan genocide and now the french president's appointed a panel of experts to and best to gauge his country's actions at the time i'm. also in that survivors group and paris france and i want to add a strained relationship sense the one nine hundred ninety four killings and three segments has visited by a model where some of the worst atrocities took place and a warning some of the images in his report are disturbing as rwanda prepares to commemorate twenty five years since the start of his genocide the same images of horror dominate tears a low carb dissolve the sorrow and questions remain who shot down the aircraft killing rwanda's president from the hutu majority an act that started one hundred days of killing on

a scale rarely seen in modern history around three quarters of the minority tutsi population were murdered. questions of why the international community didn't immediately respond still exist how many lives could have been saved or why didn't the united nations at least take early action against a highly organized campaign of hatred and incitement by the hutus for alice. underground in one of the mass graves there's only one answer and that's to forgive despite her extraordinary loss she shows some of the seemingly endless lines of coffins containing the dried out bones of whole families. in this casket or the remains of her mother father two sisters and three brothers i knew i vividly remember the death of my parents and my siblings i hear their voices in my heart i'm sorry but i forgive their killer in

a separate attack alice was hacked all over her body one of her hands was amputated with a machete she nearly died yet she forgives the man who did this as well. above her you see the tops of these modern day tombs they contain the remains of more than forty five thousand people killed in this district alone a family died in the church just here this is one of so many churches where people tried in vain to seek sanctuary but more than ten thousand people died here mostly women and children their clothes now spread out over the pews above shrapnel rained down upon this place and below here now you see coffins filled with the remains bones of victims twenty five years on what happened here still defies understanding. as alice continues with the hope visits here the man who attacked her is now free living with his family he served eight years in jail and

completed community service aside from killing in a group he's murdered twenty one people in cold blood would you say you feel nucky that you didn't get a life sentence you did even you for serving a life sentence only to be ok because he to be punishment for my crimes being alive is not lucky i kneel in front of those i have had and beg forgiveness this form of reconciliation is one of many initiatives aimed at trying to ensure peace could be permanent but not everyone is as forgiving as alice andrew simmons al-jazeera in rwanda. i'm richelle carey let's take a look at the headlines on al-jazeera and secretary-general intended to terrorise has called for a day escalation in libya as war cliff i have to our forces continue in advance

towards the capital the terrorists met with the u.n. recognized government and hatari whose troops have now taken control of tripoli international airport and security council met in an emergency session to discuss the situation in libya. we want to keep them cool this meeting in short notice today because we're very concerned about the events of the last two or three days in libya specifically the military activity we see in the zones towards tripoli and we are very clear today in cooling fool. it was georgia previously held positions and to see some of the true activity there is no military solution in libya and we need to see everybody getting back into the political process be so expertly chaired by gas and salome and to resume don't. hundreds of thousands of algerians have rallied in the capital for a seventh week in a row they're demanding even more changes to spite the resignation of their longtime president earlier this week their state department is expected to name

iran's revolutionary guard as a foreign terrorist organization this would be the first time washington designates another country's military as a terrorist group and the u.s. has revoked the entry visa for the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court which was planning to investigate accusations of war crimes by u.s. forces and afghanistan. and the u.s. the democratic control lower house of congress is suing donald trump's administration over his emergency declaration to get funds for his proposed border wall along mexico a lawsuit says trump acted unconstitutionally all this comes as the u.s. president made a visit to the southern border where he said the country was full of cholera is surging once again in yemen and the number of suspected cases has doubled since march at least three hundred people have died and more than seventy thousand cases reported sense then they were unfair as the latest outbreak could be as bad as the one in two thousand and seventeen which killed more than three thousand people so

the headlines keep it here on al-jazeera more news to come inside story is next. there are fears of a full blown battle in tripoli. forces march towards the libyan capital the war has promised an end to the country's turmoil but can he deliver or is libya on the brink of another round of civil war this is inside story.

however and i'm welcome to inside story i'm come all santamaria we are talking libya today a country which hasn't had a stable government since he was forced from power back in two thousand and eleven in fact it's got two governments in different parts of the country and right now the powerful warlord behind one of them seems to be making a play for complete control has sent his forces west on what he calls a victorious march to the capital tripoli in response the internationally recognized government vast has deployed its troops raising fears of a major showdown the united nations is called for calm in fact secretary general antonio terrorists has gone to libya himself but after eight years of instability and so many other countries playing influential roles libya's future looks as uncertain as ever so here's how it all plays out on the map in the west in the capital tripoli there is a united nations backed government led by a prime minister. in the east the government of to book is backed by the u.a.e.

egypt fronts and russia it is the center. of power for the hafta and it's from there he began launching campaigns to take important oil fields and the key port cities of been causing and ruslan move now after is ordered this large number of his troops to move further west to take control of tripoli but the un backed government quickly called its fighters to reinforce the capital and to fight to protect it but the focus really is on one man right now he was an army general on the mormon gadhafi but defected to the u.s. in the late one nine hundred eighty s. he returned to libya in two thousand and eleven and began gathering support among tribes and businessmen by twenty four tane he'd allied himself with that government into brooke he launched something called operation dignity saying he would fight what he called terrorist militias that included as we said advancing on the strategic oil fields and port cities and quickly taking control of large parts of

the country have to has presented himself as the only solution for libya's instability telling his fighters to use force only if necessary. so we've got our panel to talk about this today let me introduce them in tripoli first of all salah. is a political analyst and a senior advisor to the negotiating team of the high council of state this is an advisory body which came out of the peace talks and twenty fifteen and better to have gotten out of them out there who is director of the tripoli based subject institute and then benghazi a month sort of a professor of politics from the university of texas at san antonio it's lovely to see all three of you gentlemen thank you for joining us i like to start our discussions with one question for the three of you just to get your views on this one initial question so i'm going to start with some of our crews in tripoli and the question is simple can khalifa haftar be successful in taking tripoli are his

forces strong enough do they have the momentum right now do you think. absolutely not he never did and he never well and it's already appeared in the ground his forces are retreat west of tripoli his forces. in the mountain have been surrounded at least a few kilometers away from where yes and where he first entered there's a great momentum great excitement among the troops that are working for the. government of national accord a bun till last night three o'clock early this morning they took over the. so-called kilometer twenty seven bridge and route that have to forces and many prisoners so i think the tide is turning and i expect that khalid will have to

has to go to his plan b. or leave it will talk about a plan b. later let's go down i saw him at the in beirut what do you think is khalifa haftar on the right track for himself at least here well i think it's the purpose of this was to increase the pressure on the international when it was timed wasn't a litter as was in libya militarily speaking i think his strategy and his and on a the libyan national forces is not so much a collection of just armed groups it's a belief system it's a narrative. he really kind of goes into different cities trying to co-opt different groups trying to negotiate with them and he offers them not only financial a motor support. but he offers in this narrative you become the army and all of your opponents your local opponents that you may have fought against for resources or for local power they become the fact they're terrorists so it's really the kind of the power of half there is a narrative and i think that is really facing a massive massive problem and and a struggle not to the cool and western because many of those forces came into

existence based on the belief that they had an ideological conflict with hope with a definite doesn't leaven they did not want to see military will persist in two thousand level in thousand light seen they still have that major red line that i want to see the country return to move to rule whether it's piece by piece as the enemy is trying to achieve or whether it's half the coming at the helm of a need peaceful government has been delivered of this national conference in a couple of weeks either way that is a red line for many of those groups and i think those groups are providing the massive massive obstacle which would also be conscious of the fact that two thirds of libya's population are based in western libya many of those groups disagree with one another they have different views they have different political positions but they agree to this general consensus that they want to see pluralism in whatever state they want to to build next they want to see a civilian state not a murderous thoughts and so i think there's going to struggle militarily or even this negotiation or co-opting tactic that is trying to trying to pursue in western libya so i think is going to struggle

a lot because already explained he arrived at twenty seven he lost one hundred twenty eight troops late last night early this morning and they lost a significant amount of military and i mean issues and and heavy artillery with them interesting and i'll come back to you in a bit to talk about the timing as i think you raised an interesting point there. in benghazi what do you think. you know you hate to lose the balls but i disagree i think i think this is just the beginning this is this is unfortunately a war and have to is very very careful not to use x. is to kill people is a never the less than done that and in any of the areas even where you are or the gentleman from from beirut his wife might be that it will go up to individuals but it will push comes to shove he will use up i mean he's fighting against militias and he will beat them i mean by the time they can produce a war to come through to continue we're claiming to be well on the right there in

the wrong and they will be destroyed only michael after interesting and presumably months or if i have to i wouldn't have undertaken this and they say thought he had a chance of victory i mean this has been going on further than at the split governments and going on for so long already and he's now making this final push. exactly exactly and this book which is a book of the new year in general from. the divisions in the worst so much so deep between towns and cities it will be sure each other and this is that this war is not a new director he knows that and he will he will do that to his best time to no doubt about that is more to some of the trip and you want to answer that because he is giving us a very different narrative yeah yeah yeah. and i'm really sorry to hear a month or say this stuff after a long period in opposing another military man has. a deathly

during thirty years of opposition. but the fact is i mean we don't have to rely on what your baku she's saying or anything we can just look at the reports of the panel of experts of the security council and what it says about the so-called libyan army often if after is composed of tribal militias it's composed of nursing areas from darfur and it's all appeared i mean why would an army have have a salafist. brigade why would an army have a brigade called the. blood seekers or whatever whatever these are this is a brigade composed of people whose relatives were killed in the war and present us with. an officer of the republic. styled after

sisi who he considers a role model and he wants to establish something like what what's happening in egypt ok gentlemen let's move away from the conflict itself and i want to go back to a point. which. he made in beirut and actually i will come back to you and us and this is about the timing with the united nations secretary general antonio terrorists making a visit you're saying he's timing it for that visit my question is what is antonio terrace trying to achieve at the moment he is there he's going to talk to khalifa haftar and yet it is no room that the other government is the one which the u.n. backs what does the u.n. actually trying to get out of this. well i think it's a really difficult position for for it on your terms of the moment because on the one hand even the narrative even the response by the u.n. has been timid best so they vote for restraint by all parties behave falling short

of actually labeling half the labeling this or condemning or sanctioning or penalizing have their skill ation of violence and it was certainly timed to coincide with his trip because have there is betting on the fact that he has significant diplomatic and political support from a member of the p five in the security council fronts and and the u.a.e. which has been able to give him but only political but military support on the ground they establish an air base in two thousand and sixteen it doesn't sixteen was the year that the u.n. actually announced a peace government a peace deal in libya and it was the very same year that the that the u.a.e. ramped up its political military and financial support of have to establish an air base in all had them which is the libya they they violated the bargain as a celeb of course rightly rightly pointed out and there was at least that was the most significant year of arms embargo violations by the way in the year in the year that we were supposed to kind of deliver a peaceful solution so i think there is absolutely certain and concrete in his

assessment that the u.n. is kind of paralyzed and immune or he is immune from kind of getting any kind of diplomatic pressure from them and that's a message to libyan factions libyan political opposition groups that have had opposed after so is affecting the tone than the u.n. can't do anything i can do this even whilst the u.n. is there and there's no way they're going to stop me and it's effectively based on a deal that was struck last month and abu dhabi where have there met with and effectively saraj holds one piece of this entire puzzle that half a dozen hold international genesee and international political legitimacy for for his government at the moment have there is effectively illegitimate he doesn't have any kind of real position in in a unified libyan state and effectively he's trying to acquire that political currency from sort of but it's also based on the fact that when the last. government was delivered when these negotiations did take place for years by the un there was a libyan political agreement that would reconfigure the states and essentially alley all the fears of people that had said one half dozen to come in in

a storm tripoli or take over the country militarily he wants to have an autonomous military states for himself there was an article article in the lp a that was negotiated would have effectively allowed for the military authority the military forces in the country to come under civilian rule that has been a blockage for hafter and for his political backers in the u.a.e. and france for the last two years that's why the u.n. backed government didn't actually come into effect as why they blocked the vote in the in the have their back parliament into brooke and effectively this kind of shifted and shifted the entire article in the negotiations last month effectively half there would create a new government or he would have veto power over a new presidential council he would have full autonomy over a new security council that would mobilize military forces not only in the east which he controls but also in the west which he doesn't control that would never have come into effect and i think most libyan factions whether in the west or even the south would have disagreed with this and that's why i have there has timed this military push to intimidate pressure all of his political opponents and say if you

take it the easy way the political way into their midst in the national conference that they're looking for that is supposed to take place in eleven days or we do it the hard way where i intimidate and use the threat of force and their divorce so quiet tripoli but either way this is an existential crisis and that's existential threats for all of those forces that whether they disagree militarily with one of those trying to do or that are the logical nature of the state that has trying to build none of those forces would accept and this is merely a tactic to try to intimidate and pressure them towards accepting it i would go back to one single point just like there is not necessarily trying to build an army in the way that others have tried to explain is effectively just giving labels to these to these groups still building a militia and building a coalition of militias under one central command that he had that he acquires. he controls but ultimately it's also got the kind of the hinges on the strings attached the two foreign states in at least in the usa and ok and it's those are her and says that i have seen those foreign states i don't want to talk about and

i'm going to ask months earlier about that as well because. as listed off a lot of these other countries that support in saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt very familiar sort of trejo what do they get out of this what is while actually two questions one what does their support actually amount to what are they giving two hundred for half that and what are they trying to get out of it well first. of all if i will believe in conspiracy theory i would tell you that this has all been through your age and indeed it in the national news is not you side does not want it too much about what it is doing or whether it will even need to be or it will ever and to be looked at knows that and this seems to me seems to me that international community is fed up i mean this is become a fight between the french and italians what more is will show in libya and the government of the lead national court which are called the government of national.

or it is quite a feat it hasn't done any it and you can you can't deny the fact that it's dominated by militias or a moral wrong doing what they want to do what with the libyans economy and it goes well now i think we're forgetting that look at that people over thirty years and the old guard has to again it's not inevitable but i'm in the mood to libya and i think that it is it was better than what we're having right now but i don't give a damn who he was supposed to support so that the idea that the french the the. saudis yes but it's interesting because you say that the international community has had enough of all of this and yet there are one two three you know i'm counting at least six countries which clearly do care about this and the united nations is involving itself as well claiming libya's future is of importance to others. to sum to something i mean that with that because look at it the united states is out of the picture altogether doesn't reach well it will be lipservice here are the

russians once of the base libya and they have to deny them that basically who are we definitely out of the algeria the gyptian is the the emirates and the saudis and it unfortunately with the saudis and the emirates they're fighting against the companies in libya just as dead. as the other sports in the past that wouldn't be hit because it became a victim of a lot of politics that is essentially this how did the saudis that the and the average he's fighting the companies into being and we don't need them to do that efficiently the opals by themselves but ultimately in the end you do have the capital of libya it is dominated by militias that are thought to know will own the undercut so-called legitimate government which is which which has which has opened up and we can continue along the same route indefinitely something must break something must get and i think ultimately the only two countries not what interests

of what happens in libya of the attack is on the french it touches because they don't want that legal immigration coming in to do that to them and because of that that that bipod that guys that do so then decide that the things they want so the surge won't do not speak out against it put more popular voice in libya so do just what you call the international community that is really concerned as some down to two countries the british and that would have been this time ultimately so ultimately what we have is that libyan problem and libyan problem as well be is solved by the rights of a let's talk about sorry let me interrupt you let's talk about what the way out of it is then and i'll get your answer first month and then us. if halftone were to be successful in taking over tripoli that's one scenario that he becomes some sort of as he would like to describe it a unifying beta. or to me the logical thing would be that there needs to be an

election process you've had these two governments for so long you can't carry on having two governments an election would make sense but i wonder if libya is even ready for that at the moment you first month or. as i was asking the same question i asked. the question three months ago and they have to sort of commit it to actually didn't is is it is committed to i mean he was head of the army candidate of the army but the but but but strangle him when something wonderful look oh oh oh oh oh says that puts him under their quality of a cigarette instead government but yet it actually is we one popular election we wanted action that if we're going to present to all men and a good representative government that takes away the delusion and after all the lot of them all but we can keep on going what we have right now isn't it is this and us your thoughts i mean again this idea that. getting away from having this split

government system and militias and all of this that seems to be the way out of it i mean is libya even in a position for this moment think it's a think it's an interesting question but i think the elections also are about something else elections provide electoral genesee they provide international diplomacy i think half the strategy with elections has been if i can acquire power of of the military forces military meaning that he can have a label that announces and says i control any of these forces my forces are legitimate by by virtue of the elections and anybody that opposes me is illegitimate and i think given what he's done so far illegitimately i would shudder to think what he may do with a letter legitimacy to someone that is being investigated for crimes by the i.c.c. in the hague for war crimes that were committed but hasn't done and over the last twenty four months so i think we have to be careful about the idea of what the electorate of the sea is for libyans and the libyan populace at large and what it means that someone is trying to acquire political power number two i think the question about militias is not really said different many of our of those groups as

has already been described earlier on a tribal oriented militias are cellophane oriented militias and what they're trying to acquire is a monopoly on legitimacy and that's not very very good i mean if we're talking about militias that are trying to take rule in western libya giving them the monopoly on the missi and allowing them to take control of the public sector in the private sector as has been the case in is the libya many of whom are engaged in oil and in fuel smuggling in human smuggling in the east of the country in smuggling levithan has become the number one next quarter of scrap metal today which is a billion dollar industry and as a net is controlled by these militias that are caught in this awful army i think the real question has been how do you deep politicize an army how do you create a political servant when there is the trial the oriente at m one that is serves at the behest and the respect of an appointed or elected civil government that is not the project the have there is embark upon this this notion of trying to fight terrorists and trying to fight militias is a slower it's also included the notion that a for an islamist. it's a slur not everyone opposes after it's like that i think most people that today

have a binary choice they either believe in a pluralistic civilian regime or they believe in a military regime it doesn't it doesn't want to go on this regime after certainly once that it does make me wonder though what sort of us popularity or support if i can call it that that have to has a month's libyan people we have in this discussion talked a lot about the militias and the and the international community and other countries which support him or don't support him what a pout as months or see as the libyan people themselves well i think a good measure an acid test of that has been the fact that the moment after took over bill huzzy he made it illegal to. pull demonstrations and and popular protests and i think that's often wants a kind of reflection of how thin skinned tough there is and how he wants to mobilize support and moment for a war that may seem popular and that's a danger of the propaganda of those employed it's not just dangerous to label your opponents islamists are terrorists or or foreign militias it's a dangerous if you believe that and then you start to continue

a war based on those things if you remove all the civil liberties in the liber is that they've been set for over for many many years and their ability to question your authority and happier can you be and i guess the second question is that if elections were take place given the office taken control of swaths of the east and the south who would be able to run against him you know be able to run a political games have to i think it's it's dangerous to infer that there is imagine popularity that after enjoys popularity is a very is an imagined currency we know that through free and fair elections we can have those things but i would question this one thing good or not you know i'm finally unavailable for four years sorry i'm under arms around us yes go ahead i get it. can i get a final thought from month or just as well starting to run down the clock your final thoughts on i guess where we're going in the immediate future we've looked a lot at the. at the long term future what about the next days weeks. i mean. we are we are we are we're playing with the unknown ok you have to is a must the guy is not very nice is the take i don't get is why i've been told that

this is going to say that this is this is ok but we have to come up with this illusion we can't just keep on saying they're not as deep as that i'm going to do nothing those militias them through pretty have to pay the full one person interest really they don't and then you have you have you have that huge problem that the faces in the country yes somebody had to have a breaking point somewhere maybe we have one i did get to fighting is that we will get down but we have to stop this slide at some point ok that knows that is not what happens in tripoli today you know you free to do anything except really if you do it just tell me i mean it's ok to stock up with us but at least we need to joke with you to use our poll as a libya's as people to say no we will not have it. shipped we did the west indies we have to push that to do those of the pocketed we don't effect you.
