closing increasingly a good part of southeast asia and the philippines the rainy season is starting for the south so it's still wet i mean you can't see very much a java or bali also on the way see all of these potentially heavy showers same is true southern somalia lesser maybe and of course as i mentioned singapore to the south of this we still got rain in the far north of australia but rather more typical move our weather situations happening further south which means cold front after cold front and she might expect this time of year still you should see the sunshine twenty one degrees in melbourne little bit warmer in adelaide much the same as the capital into sydney person joining twenty two degrees but increasingly you have got rain which i suspect could well be welcome rain that's at least there for sunday monday looks a little bit dry the rain moving inland twenty one degrees in the sunshine for you but women are in melbourne.

members individually expressed their concerns about the situation there the concerns that protesters rights be respected that there be no violence against them in the united kingdom in particular was very critical about the proposed two year time frame to hand over control of the government to civilian rule they said that didn't seem fast enough and of course the secretary general antonio terrorism the high commissioner for human rights are also weighing in calling for calm and calling for respect for human rights in the situation on the ground now on background a diplomat did tell us that some members of the council wanted to take stronger action right away but were persuaded to wait until the african union meets over the weekend but the president of the council did say that they are poised and ready to meet again as soon as monday if the situation on the ground worsens. saturday is the last day of campaigning for indonesia's presidential election president joko

they want more people in their sanctuary cities well we'll give them more people we can give a lot we can give them an unlimited supply and let's see if they're so happy that the president cited california cities such as san francisco home to the speaker of the house nancy pelosi who fired back at the president just another. notion that is unworthy of the presidency of the united states and disrespectful of the challenges that we face as a country as a people to address who we are a nation of immigrants the mayor of another sanctuary city oakland california expressed outrage these are human beings families told her and to use them as political pawns in a game of then dick to venice just takes this administration to a whole new low level mayors say with the designation many undocumented immigrants declined to cooperate with police and other city officials for fear of being deported national security experts described the idea floated by the president is

clearly illegal he might be acting out of frustration he has been repeatedly stymied on immigration whether it's his travel ban funding for a border wall or in his case the opposition of democratic mayors his own department of homeland security described this idea is floated and rejected but it's appointed reminder that he is adept at using the considerable resources of his office to strike back at critics. trump's statement came amid an unusually early start to the twenty twenty presidential election one in which he is expected to again make immigration his signature issue john hendren al-jazeera washington. the world health organization. the democratic republic of congo does not constitute a public health international. health workers a set up clinics in eastern democratic republic of congo to treat hundreds of ebola

news continues here on al-jazeera after counting the cost stay with us. and the difference. and the similarities and cultures of. al-jazeera. hello i'm come on santa maria this is counting the cost on al-jazeera your weekly look at the world of business and economics this week brazil is big on symbolism big on rhetoric but after one hundred days in office what has brazil's president got to show for a country that still struggling to recover from a recession also this week is india's prime minister six another term we ask has he

managed to keep his election promises from the last time and what does the sale of the ride hailing app karim to tell us about the way acquisitions and investments are happening in the age of the tech giants. so it's been more than one hundred days since brazil's right wing president jaya both came into power and in that time while the stock markets burst through the one hundred thousand point mark which is a historic achievement but one perhaps more in hope and expectation of what else an hour it could achieve because the reality is rather more grim consider this efforts to save two hundred sixty billion dollars through much needed pension reforms are stuck in political wrangling the economy is expected to grow at just two percent less than the two and a half percent for cost unemployment now hovering around twelve percent and both sonars approval rating is the lowest for

a president since the country returned to democracy three decades ago now in a recent trip to the united states he and donald trump promised to reset relations but. in the two countries however both americans needed march and received little in return on the prospect of a trade deal between the united states and china that could actually be crippling for brazil's families and that's where we're going to start this week the reality of brazil's economy as told by those literally at the grassroots level. has this report now from the state of mato grosso where brazil soy farmers fear for their own livelihoods. brazil is one of the world's largest oil producers of matter is the biggest producer in brazil china is brazil's biggest export market and about half of that is commodities mostly saw so when beijing says it might do its story shopping elsewhere brazilian farmers take note. when we have china

negotiating with the us in these conditions almost obliged to buy saudi from the united states that is going to hit us hard about five thousand workers are employed in harvesting to hear about the good also one hundred seventy thousand tons just on this twenty seven thousand hectare property. without the chinese buyers it will be complicated we're following the latest news in the papers and we're really worried that brazil's big agri business mostly back the winning candidate. in last year's presidential elections was brazil does far more trade with china than the us the new president went first to washington aging is not on his itinerary or the talks go on in washington in beijing to try to resolve their trade differences it's unlikely they take into account the future of these workers on the other side of the world that these men although they have no say a very attentive their livelihoods depend on it. the state capital

was founded in seventeen nineteen joining a gold rush on the gold ran out the city was forgotten neglected until the arrival of big agriculture. in the late twentieth century the city grew rapidly from fifty thousand inhabitants to more than six hundred thousand today. pots is white gold. is used in more than two hundred sub products you can find it in medicine cosmetics but its most important use is as protein for eating livestock that converts into animal protein for the population the world's demand is huge producers here like gold will not run out but they must have. for now brazilian soil produces a nervously watching and waiting to see which way the international trade winds blow. well joining us here in the studio is. though he is the residence professor

at northwestern university here in katherine a latin america and it's lovely to have you with us hiero not jairo like the here like the president so we've just seen a report there about the soy farmers in brazil who are worried about the potential trade deal or trade wars and all these issues between the united states and china these are the people who they tend the land they are the backbone of of an economy grassroots how worried should they be do you think i think there must be very very worried because one of the things is that agriculture in brazil in terms of employment terms of realty for poor people or for certain areas of pollution is very important but the overall economy. is not bad important it's only six percent of the g.d.p. meanwhile you have thirty percent of the u.p.a. from an industry and seventy percent for the service so for the demonstration of your will so narrow this was one of the things they're more willing to sacrifice if they get more access for their industry and that's

a very key point and i look at some other issues with you as well as we look more mr both in our own self himself in what he's trying to do he wants to save money by cutting pensions hundreds of billions of dollars yeah i mean how i guess sound an idea is that i mean you're touching people's pensions that this is a delicate area if we put it that yes and they the one of the pros of brass of the resilient economy is that it has a huge public sector and that public sector the pensions are mostly in the public sector related to the public sector and that sector is very powerful influential within their minister and i'm not sure how much luck mr paulson are will have in that sector but for him is crucial to cut the deficit and this means reducing and between cutting the pensions and cutting and privatization they expect in the next ten years to save nearly. three hundred billion dollars that mean is that enough that would be enough to buntin the deficit on the you know seventy percent

sixty percent which means there brazil will pay less in the depths ervice other moment a huge part of the budget of those who goes to pay the service of the debt as all that in american countries of the moment is that going to be possible that's more about politics i mean i'm also not a has to draw a hemorrhage or for the moment he's at the lowest rates of popularity in the history of. this is what i was going to ask you about. does that matter i guess you know there are a lot of politicians who say our polls whatever he's only been in power for one hundred days but to be that low what can he do to fix that it matters a lot in brazil because one of the things on the left in brazil feels they feel cheated you know they feel that they put in prison so he couldn't run again so they the left in brazil is ready to mobilize itself to really act quickly against also not all worn with a vote that was not only from the right here

a lot of appeal within the left and with the popular sector many poor people voted for also not zero but they are increasingly growing impatient with the minister ations promises of economy growth on employment is something around twelve percent and brazil's growth forecast was cut this week so it's less than there was even expect that some of the companies big companies like pharmaceutical companies are now announce they're going to stop production in brazil so a lot of people who would produce employment which is in salaries decent salaries they want people want and expect to live in brazil regionally how secure is brazil i'm just thinking venezuela has obviously dominated our thoughts for a long time we've seen the spillover of that in canonically into into other countries as brazil ok yeah brazil has much stronger institute. right and if anything will drift you know to the conservation of power of the current

institutions i don't think that's that's going to be the case but really speaking of brazil's finance are very varietals they big exports i mean brazil is a has a surplus in exports you know but still exports over two hundred billion dollars and imports something around one hundred fifty three billion dollars that that is a very important feature of its strength but a lot of those exports goes into the latin american market for example argentina part i why and those markets also konami are quite quite fragile at the moon quite weak one of things we have sorry and that's going to answer is that why mr paulson are looks elsewhere you know he's been meeting trump he met netanyahu with janja israel has just been reelected making sure that there are other minds out there well the united states market has also been a traditional market in and of course news of also not a would would want the united states to be again it is remarkable but structurally that is a long way to take because i would mean and again we're going back to the interest

that would mean that brazil will have to develop certain areas of the industry that could compete in the united states with china it's easier because they export commodities there roma things that brazil has one of the big criticism against their boss around administration has been the flex the flexible approach to go there as a flexible approach the approach that he adopted towards for example environmental a situation where he do you really related a series of arias but he's doing that because he knows that to get to the chinese market at the moment it's the mining and it's raw material that he needs to export so he's trying to flex eliza to increase the potential of the economy he needs cash flow at the moment he needs to increase the the export surplus but he also needs money to develop all the area and he knows industrial production which is where he's probably his hopes are take a long time it's been a pleasure talking to thank you for joining us and still ahead this. counting the cost educated but jobless in iraq we're looking at where the private investors can

succeed in creating jobs where the government is failing. right now that we are looking at here where a month long election process involving up to nine hundred million voters has begun now prime minister narendra modi is widely expected to win another term in coalition with other parties even though his pledge to create ten million jobs and to increase manufacturing with his make in india campaign has been a failure so how rahman's been speaking to people about their hopes from the next indian government. to millions of indians the wheels of life don't stop turning and that includes those like migrant workers from the state of west bengal in the east of the country he's been a rickshaw rider in new delhi for twenty years with few job opportunities moving to the big city was the only way to support his family. it would be wonderful if my son and daughter get an education that's my only wish and nothing else as

a responsible rule water i go to great lengths to cast my vote but the politicians take my vote and then disappear where is the promised help millions of workers have converged on india's major cities to find ways to survive economic pressures back home they're relying on politicians to keep their election promises to the. millions of indians voters for the bharatiya janata party b j p led by a right wing populist leader in the red remote in twenty fourteen he promised a lot to the electorate especially the young and. if we want the country to progress then we need to develop their skills that's my mission this is my promise to develop skill india where the promises were made that where there were training something. so hope was really rising but in forty years nothing happened you know ninety five percent of startups have failed i don't see any. indiana start up picking up even four years. to you in the capital new delhi aspiring fashion

designers are close to graduating and betty in this class like books. of first time voters because i was and will give my promise that i would want a government who keeps their promises just not for the sakes sake of getting what in the next election is but to be dead while the people ask me out of court is the first thing which we will look at. and that's what we want these are just some of the estimated fifteen million graduates that will join the job market each year the government forecasts that manufacturing will increase by eight percent so that's good news to the students. and is not the first to look for work in the big city and he will be the last but he'll be heading back to his village to vote hoping his choice of candidates will keep his election promises. well you know the byword for taxi app's all over the world but of course each region has its own variations on the theme and here in the middle east and asia it is karim only karim

just got bought up by for three billion dollars which sounds like your classic situation of the little stop being swallowed up by the industry leader. well this one's a little different though karim will actually operate under its own banner and then will continue to be led by its own founders as a wholly owned subsidiary and our next guest actually believes the sale of kareem two is a good thing for the middle east's startup scene but what about those behind the likes of a soft bank of japan saudi arabia's public investment fund what's their game are they now reinforcing the old world order of investments which has been blown up the water more recently by the likes of amazon google and facebook well we've got i guess joining us from london it's dominic percs who is the cofounder of. capital as for nice to have you with us dominic just while we're talking this specific case of karim how is it a good thing for middle east startups when the little guy as i said get swallowed up by the big guy well there are

a number of investors that have invested into into the business and they're going to yield fantastic returns which will encourage them to invest in startups i think it will encourage entrepreneurship in the region hugely and i also think that the people that are involved in that business will have learnt so much and will be so confident that they may well then go and build their own companies so you know we have been keeping a close eye on the tech ecosystem in the middle east and we're often working out in the middle east bringing some of our companies from london to trade in the region and we think this is just excellent news for the region so is it good then as i suggested to see the light solve in this case soft bank and saudi arabia which are backing to be making these sorts of moves because these are moves which have been dominated by the big tech players recently tech players which i mean are owning you

know seventy five percent plus of the advertising market and i just wonder if you think this is a good thing that we're seeing. well i definitely think it's a good thing that kareem has been set up by entrepreneurs backed by angels and by institutional capital and has now scaled successfully and. and been executed over i think this is a it's a it's a great move and i don't think that. anyone would argue against that more widely is that a concern when you've got the the googles and the amazons and the facebook's the usual suspects which we name but when we see them making all the investments they're making on the consolidations and with this you know huge growth is it a concern that that has happened for so many years now so what we're trying to do is is find and back and build the next town isn't the next facebook the next google and you know the migration of talent from industry

into early stage businesses now stimulated and kind of catalyzed by transactions like carrie can only be a good thing in the end to build great businesses you need fantastic innovation you need brilliant teams and you need you know willing capital and careen transaction as it is is definitely going to stimulate the market we think so without giving the game away for what you guys are investing in but tell me what are you looking for because you say you want to you want to find the next big thing but there are so many little things out there right now which could be the next big thing. absolutely i mean you know we see sixty seventy business plans a week that we review in and consider for investment ultimately what we're looking to do is about businesses that have real purpose and that are solving real problems and that have incredibly driven capable management teams and that that's that's what we're looking to do in addressing large markets. ideally international markets

as well. so one example of a business that is a great british innovation that has backed his is what three words what three words is solving a extraordinary global problem which is that seventy five percent of the world's population doesn't actually have a postal address. now the team in london what three words have come up with a system where they've taken a great across the whole world and divided it into fifty seven trillion squares each three metres by three metres and they've given each square a three word name it's kind of ingenious and allows you to find anything or anyone in the world with a memorable three words it's first client was mongolia it's received investment alongside amber of perks from the likes of sony ventures from am ex in the region from diner and you know it's set to become

a truly fascinating and transformative business we think now i'm very familiar with what three words are used it's good when you're trying to send a delivery driver your way or something like that do you do you feel this is a slightly strange question but do you feel lucky when you find someone that i know it's your job to go out there and find these ideas and to decide ok this was the one we should ban but you must feel a bit lucky as well when you think of all the millions out there we've got a good one. for sure this is you know that he kind of make your own luck so. you know it's. we see a lot of opportunities in and actually you know what there are lots of great ideas it's so much about the execution so certainly our approach isn't just to provide capital into these businesses but to provide real support real mentorship and one of the things that we i think quite unique on is our focus on internationalisation we want to build global winners don't percs great talking to thank you for your time thank you in iraq rising unemployment is provoking demands for government

action particularly by young people you know the international monetary fund says youth unemployment is actually more than double the government's official rate of twenty percent but is there an alternative perhaps to government intervention to reports from baghdad. this is hosain a seer. he's got a degree in political science but he's here in baghdad stay here square selling t. hussein is one of the millions of iraqis who are out of work. i have decided to wear the graduation at tahrir on the streets to earn a living and to deliver a message of discontent to the authorities now days graduates suffer from lack of job opportunities and a weak government plan to address the issue. that these protesters all have p.h.d.'s and are all out of work. yet they say they're angry with the government for not fulfilling its duty under iraqi law the government must provide government

jobs to those who gain a ph d. in any discipline but that's not happening. as bad a lot of the job much you know the reason behind our protest is that many of those holding who scratch it degrees are suffering from unemployment and no job opportunities available despite the fact that many of iraq's universities need such experts we play administrative corruption nepotism and favorite has many. officials say the country's recent problems have derailed government plans in the title as the reason behind rising unemployment rates in iraq is attributed to its economic crunch and security challenges and that has led to the delay of many projects which have affected the labor market this is one solution it's called the station established last year by young iraqis to help start up companies it is privately funded by local and international non-government organizations the station offers

office space for rent and access to people with extensive experience to provide guidance it's helped launch more than thirty businesses so far and this is one of them this book store opened within the station last year and its owner says she got all the support she needed he she watching a high rents all rates of places all to obtain a real estate as start a business oh this is. cold but here i was with an opportunity to start up with less costs so the station provided me with that corner to run my business called the raj this is the only one of its kind in the country for now the founders are trying to launch a second one in erbil later this year while a place like this provides resources to many unemployed iraqis they argue that it's not enough to help tackle the growing unemployment rate across the country and for substantial change to take place they argue that the government must do more to help its people finally this week we do need to talk about briggs that's where the headline is that the european union leaders have given the u.k.

six more months to find a measured way to leave the bloc in a sense that solves the problem of the ticking brags that clock or at least puts a little more time on it but the level of division within the british parliament and the british people that still needs a lot more work here is lawrence lee now on a trip to two english towns which share the same name but one entirely different outcomes to the crisis. this elegant part of london is the epicenter of hostility to brics its rich powerful people live here the entire notion of brecht's it is regarded as barmy unhinged it would economically speaking cook the u.k.'s goose the centrist liberal democrats who have only a handful of seats in parliament dominate politics here have defiantly nailed their colors to the council mast and they say get rid of bricks at once and forever kill it stone dead it will have to be revoked because there simply isn't the time to put

the legislation in place for a second reference if if revoke is going to be cleaver let's just do it it wasn't possible still of a break that i think people will understand that we just have to be honest and say what you were solves in jail in the trades the trade sixteen was a focus it was a lot to be honest it was just something which couldn't be delivered it is absolutely impossible to overstate the sheer sense of loathing that people in places like this have towards breck's it's their feeling of national betrayal towards those politicians who would take the u.k. out of the european union with no deal. becomes a vis richmond's and you're likely to get the opposite view here very many regard opposition to bracks it's as a form of treachery. this richmond is every bit as pretty as the other one it was voted the best place to live in britain yet the mood here can be venomous towards both the e.u.

and the british governments they dismiss entirely the idea that bracks it is some kind of mythical creature as their opponents claim. britain they say is being led like a lamb to the slaughter democracy is dying i think the longer it goes on the more extensions the more of the power of the people by parliament who are reminded and we will not get brecht's it is simple as that i think it's delaying tactics so i can reverse the decision of the people we had the people we don't need in our people we should leave on our roads and that's it. it goes without saying that the reason may is now being pulled apart by both of these forces in parliament it will inevitably be her downfall that is our show for this week to get in touch with her so you can tweet me directly at kemal a.j. a.j. use the hash tag j c t c when you do our email address is there as well counting the cost of al-jazeera dot net and there is more a few online as well. c.t.c.

military transitional council speaking to the media and to the nation let's listen in. sorry apparently that isn't the new head that's had yesterday incident difficult to work to keep up with what's going on that was a recording of yesterday's announcement the head of the military transitional council who you saw briefly in that clip from sudanese television has stepped down he's been replaced by another general abdul fatah book on protest as welcomed the announcement of demonstrations are now being scaled back the council is set to rule for up to two years after the military force president omar al bashir to

resign al-jazeera is have a morgan reports now from khartoum. the power of protest the curates the second victory in as many days on thursday these demonstrators were celebrating the removal of president armitage this year by friday his replacement the general who had orchestrated the end of the shoes thirty year rule had also gone. this is for the benefit of the nation without having to look at special interests big or small that may preclude its progress. or to say that this country has great people and a great army i would like to recommend you work together and hope that you would reach a solution very speedily i would also hope that this decision is not misinterpreted i wish my brother success in what is beneficial to our country long live sudan a peaceful and honorable country. i meant it now off is seen by many as part of the

old regime and could not represent them in the military council he had it appears to have listened. to the was i think there's no weak tree like the one we've seen today and the way the military stood with doesn't listen to our demands is something that has never happened before we will be talking about this victory to the future generations. the new leader abdul fatah what han is the inspector general of the military and like former president bashir and his predecessor of north who are both accused of war crimes in the western region of darfur he doesn't seem to have a tainted past raising hopes that he may be able to appease the thousands who have been protesting for months the protests began in december over a steep hike in bread prices and the deteriorating economy since last saturday thousands have been demonstrating in front of the military headquarters in her town demanding this year's resignation. according to the central committee of sudanese doctors dozens have been killed in violence with security forces which have

repeatedly tried to disperse the sit in by force while the decision of opting for the one hundred seems largely welcome some say a civilian council is the only option for a transitional government. that actually be able to be on the street until we see a handover of a to a civil government in. we want to see a civil government taken over for the transitional period you know we could have a. government but the leaders ship of the government should be coming from the city or the country is it to hear what's plan to have the fact that the military council and now the us and the transitional period ahead but for now the people of sudan seem to be focused on celebrating the fact that they were able to lead to leaders out of power in less than forty eight hours. joins us now live from khartoum now the reason we jump suit in these television right at the beginning of the news

there is because we're expecting an announcement from general abdul fatah the new head of the military transitional council that was due two hours ago it still hasn't happened what are protesters making of this change of leadership of the transitional council. well the protesters who have been staging a sit in in front of the army headquarters for the past six days have scaled down a considerably they're saying that they are very hopeful but they've already put out a list of demands of the military council about what they want to see and what they what they want to hear from that statement saying that one of their top demands is to end the institute of the nationalistic national ticket intelligence and security services ordinance as it's known they are saying that this body this institute is responsible for most of the crimes that have been committed during the bashir a team and that if it continues to exist then they would not have much faith in

becoming government they're also demanding that the military council hand over the transitional power to political parties and to civilian government they're saying that if military personnel especially first and also have been part of the former ruling party and part of the regime are members of the transitional council then they want to have faith and they will be ready to go back out and continue protesting as they've been doing for the past four months now again we are yet to hear from the newly appointed leader of the military council opted for the one hand he was appointed last night less than twenty four hours after his predecessor. was sworn in and he was also sworn in mediately so people are expecting him to address the nation and outline his plan but they are saying that if his statement does not appease them they are ready to go out on the streets again how does the political process move forward now what will general abdel fattah. want to do next and who do. this involves does this process. well he's

going to have to reach out to political parties and talk to them and see if they can form a council together at the military council just before the step down held a press conference here and part of suman said that they're open to dialogue with all political parties and that they're trying to form a council that will include all layers of society in sudan and that the military councils duty is to preserve the security and order in the country and not to need it they said that they had no blueprint that they're going to use to try to meet the nation throughout its transitional period they also said that the transitional period doesn't have to be two years if political parties can come together and basically form a proper government that they feel can lead the country to stability and to early elections and they're ready to hand over power but people adrian are very concerned they're saying that they don't want any military involvement and they're now waiting for that statement to see what's comes out of there saying that they have faith and put the one hand simply because he doesn't have the same tainted history

that president bashir and his replacement of out of north had both were wanted for war crimes in the region of darfur. one hundred on the other hand is not known to have any political affiliations he doesn't seem to be having that tainted history he was involved in the sudanese army deployment to yemen to fight in the saudi let's call it there but people are saying that they're going to wait and hear from him see what he has and if they are not happy that the street is where they will be again. many thanks to the observers have been moving their reporting live from car to kuka is a member of good if not a resistance movement that's helping to organize the process in sudan we are asked to move who he thinks should take over from the military. organized and there are the freedom and change to clear asia so we're all working under that umbrella so that embroil a nice to take over and the leaders of them are

the s.b.a. the sudanese professional association so we want army to sit with the sudanese professional association and hand over power to them and then we have. no agreed upon way path into democracy that we have already. decided are we expect them to talk to us first before coming out with a statement we do not want to hear another statement we not want to hear about the state of emergency we don't want to hear about their solutions or what they want to put forward we want them to become a situation like in any democracy if the army needs to just be in the situation that protects the people not not that rules the people we do not want to military rule we do not want to have as a leader you know want him as a president ali before when he was appointed the leader of the council the council cannot lead the country so we were expecting him to sit with the s.b.a. to sit with the sudanese professionalization and to hand over power that's what he

expected and that's when the parties are going to stop and that's when we're going to move to the next step we're definitely not is and we we definitely hoping and we're definitely expecting or had to do the right thing but people will stay in the street and till we hear from him and till we hear from the people the sudanese professionalization and we're organizing to keep that going also we definitely expect after everything to settle down to have whoever committed crimes to be punished and that's going to be grilling everybody was part of this region is going to take a while it could be in different phases some of it has to be like we sit together and we say like it's ok you can say whatever but we have to have justice and for people in darfur. people in nuba mountains when people eat in extreme north there's a lot of the rare where that happen and we can just ignore it and when general abdel fattah addresses the nation we will of course take it live here on al-jazeera

there with the news hour still to come on the program as in lebanon wants syria to lower trade tariffs that are putting a squeeze on their livelihoods. and restless in what was once known as iraq's revolution city will tell you why many say they're losing trust in their politicians. and later in sport the female fighter punching through barriers for women boxes in iran some of which will be with that for the rest of the sport a little late. forces fighting for control of libya's capital of launched new asterix planes belonging to the warlord after dropped bombs on the town of which is just south of tripoli problem private property was damaged in the attack meanwhile forces loyal to the u.n. backed government targeted positions south of the town is believed to be

and some advantages. which allowed him years.
