thousands of people have been killed since forces loyal to the world a lot of hell if there have that long a military campaign a week ago to take control of their capital tripoli libyans here say they will continue their protest every friday until have that his forces moved back to the east. after warplanes have been targeting several locations in and around tripoli including my eighty gig airport the only operational airport in the city the government accuses have to his forces of using heavy weapons in populated areas indiscriminate shelling has killed many civilians and forces thousands to leave their homes the protesters oppose these tabulation meant over another totally tarion region. the worry that if have their takes control of tripoli they will be silenced without. tripoli.
12:01 am
he is the director of the tripoli based think tank the institute he says he is likely to rely increasingly on his force. and so as it is ground forces. so they get into a world of tradition you know there. is that right it takes years and that was the case in mckenzie. and so i think that there are times that it is his primary military doctors the u.a.e. egypt the. bronx. superior military planning services gathering and the u.a.e. really offers that. and yeah. they gave him that kind of strategic and atlanta journal. which allowed every year is the city but to be left in ruins and that's the concern that in tripoli where two thirds of the population of libya live many a hundred thousand finance the tens of thousands from. out there you know i think of the displaced residents that city in the last war or it doesn't sixteen and
12:02 am
seventeen so you're looking at almost three million people towards western libya now that's almost two thirds of the population of libya. and that could be a massive massive. how to go a. lot more still to come for you here on the news hour including outrage in the u.s. over donald trump's condemnation of a muslim member of congress over the nine eleven attacks. and dealing with a nearly three hundred nine hundred percent price rise lebanese farmers face huge tariff increase used to bring goods into syria. and in the sports commission is african football champions are spot on save face algeria opposition as they bid to stay on course for back to back titles. of the first time in four years yemen has held a parliamentary session with president months on how to eat in attendance more than
12:03 am
one hundred thirty government officials took part in the meeting held in the city of say you and sultan albert carney the head of yemen's general people's congress was elected as the speaker. mari has at it's in chief and publisher of the yemen post he joins us on skype from the capital sanaa hakim almost money this is being described as quote crucial is it really that simple. it is made to be honest it's the first time that i be collisions and allies have been able to gather so many power numbers in one place to grab a session over the last three years that would have claimed that they had but what the apartment members and that's why they had. the power to have parliament go on for over two and a half years but right now there's a major blow for the is politically but what i was told that. it's about one hundred thirty four m.p.'s who attended the session today and you would need one
12:04 am
hundred thirty eight to. legalize back session so rob collection is claiming back one hundred forty one who were there i don't know ourselves that can only come for one hundred and thirty three two hundred thirty four are on there and so on but it does number was completed this is a major blow a look at what the code is and they lose. a lot of ground when it comes to a. go she should because right now the parliament has a lot of authority and can move on resolution that are actually even though that will be won't recognise them but internationally it's well it will have a major blow up with these ok but they're always sold to see militia groups trying to put together some sort of umbrella grouping to put together a representation within the parliament possibly especially if the sweden december peace process gets going again because that seems pretty much more a bond of the moment but surely the parliament confidential properly for all of the
12:05 am
country until that delegation arrives in the parliament. it's complicated because. given the parliament has to be three hundred one members there are thirty one members who have died since the last parliament elections was it two or three so this problem is a very old because there has not been any elections since two or three thirty one have died since that time and it's not relevant but these party members are having parliament. elections for those thirty one sees that would be replaced by those who . died so even though they have those thirty one seats i don't think they will have the majority but again because you need more evidence to prove that one hundred forty one members did come to parliament session today because of that i'm aware that they have a lot of contact with ease. and there's thirty one members of the new members who
12:06 am
are all allied towards these if this could at least ten or fifteen more members who are allied with saudi arabia they can easily reclaim the constitutional rights for the parliaments how does this impact the peace process that we saw being signed up to by old sides pretty much with sand with an atmosphere of being positive in december in sweden. it's very sad out over the last month there has not been. the elements when it comes to the peace process. because they're out if they had more focus on the parliament session the un has basically been slogging a lot of time week after week slugging in an attempt to give up those allied with the coalition more time to have parliament join together and yet for that so were the last month there had not been any developments and a complete stalemate even those members of the committees on the road and the odd coalition were not and i do that for over two weeks in the last month or so there
12:07 am
has not a stalemate a lot of delaying and i am pretty sure that by next week they will start moving but a lot of lack of trust when it comes to the u.n. and boy and the peace process that are happening right now. thank you. for you countries have a great stake sixty four refugees and migrants rescued off the coast of libya ten days ago they've been stranded on a rescue vessel with conditions getting worse every day if they have not been taken to a port and will eventually be relocated to germany france portugal and luxembourg france was and is a professor of environmental geopolitics and migration dynamics at the paris institute of political studies he says europe is failing to address the migration is you. as long as there is nobody consideration at the european level this praises will continue. a few months ago almost
12:08 am
a year ago last june each was decided to have permanent humanitarian these and back asian block farm but these platforms they've never seen the daylight and therefore this means that this will continue and this will continue to go also exploited by police in extremist in europe but this is doomed to continue in the future especially know that string is coming and that most of the mobile boards will continue to chris saying last week the u.n. secretary general antonio the terrorist was in libya and was again do you know one thing the at bowling condition of the jails and centers was that. clearly libya right now is not a safe place for migrants and as atoms he goes and therefore they will continue to attend to cross thing i think what needs to happen is decreasing of humanitarian agency for inside. this by gaining us to stop clearly the depleted regulations does not walk this issue of us and needs to be dealt at the european level so that we
12:09 am
don't have b.d.s. relations issues apennine on a boat with people stranded in appalling conditions to meet the first thing to do is to create safe and legal routes i'd rather be there and so that people don't have to risk their lives on boards anymore and to to create a european conceive for asylum so that the people can be relocated you know again of long term fashion. island is breathing a sigh of relief at the prospect of a no deal breaks it seems to be ruled out for the time being at least for the country does remain worried any sort of brics it would be very damaging to him to call me most at risk because the huge agricultural sector has lawrence lee to explain. between them this herd of seventy cows produces harf a million liters of milk every year and a full third of that is drunk in britain it's driven across the border to northern ireland's just over that hill but lorcan is a worried man a brick sits without
12:10 am
a trade deal especially with new borders would put his entire business on the line and on certain days they're all the time because like i'm completely dependent on the meat from these cars and laid off the product is made from miami to talk to to forty percent of that ends up in the u.k. so of course i'm more eat kosher more eat isn't just milk nearly a third of all beef consumed in britain is irish even more cheese and butter talk about trade deals and borders can sound confusing here it's about what goes into people's mouths the cheese on the pizza was made here in the republic of ireland the cheese was in driven across the border into the u.k. where the pizza was manufactured and is then sold across both countries years of an open border have led to this complex web of food production and distribution to the benefits of both republic of ireland and the u.k. and it's one which farmers here believe would be entirely jeopardized by no deal
12:11 am
bricks it. food deals between islands in the u.k. are worth a full six billion dollars a year hardly surprising ireland is worried when break says it was for supporters of by the u.k. people to leave europe there was two requirements for. be there beef and dairy one was that we wouldn't have a bar but the second was that our straight to the ship would remain status quo and there is a grid a greater degree of uncertainty about that today as there was twelve or eighteen months ago during the brics it referendum concerns of irish farmers counted for zero but maybe they should have mattered more no bricks it deal no food from ireland could make british people go hungry if a hard border went up there would be food shortages in the u.k. there will be a lack of beef products because they rely on irish beef the price of beef escalate so far that your average person in the u.k. simply won't be able to afford it we can avoid that hopefully we will avoid that
12:12 am
point is entirely lost in the brics a debate in london where politicians seem entirely unconcerned about the impact on islands of the u.k. leaving the european union island hopes the prospects of empty supermarket shelves might focus some minds gloriously al-jazeera on the irish border. then as well as former spy chiefs been arrested in spain just weeks after the u.s. issued a warrant for him he's. he's wanted by washington for alleged cocaine trafficking he ran venezuela's military intelligence for over a decade and was a close advisor to the late president hugo chavez in february he became the most influential military figure to declare loyalty to the opposition leader. several politicians in the u.s. of criticized president donald trump after he tweeted a video containing footage of nine eleven designed to attack in mosul and congresswoman. now the video features edited sections of a speech omar made on civil rights for muslims in the u.s.
12:13 am
some time later the speech has been overlaid with footage of the nine eleven attacks which we have decided not to show the videos being shared on social media to suggest the congresswoman was playing down nine eleven in response some condemned trump's tweet and accused him of islamophobia in the video mr trump tweeted. repeatedly saying some people did something quotes the actual quote from her speech goes like this for far too long we've lived with the discomfort of being a second class citizen and frankly i'm tired of it and every single muslim in this country should be tired of it care was founded after nine eleven because they recognize that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties the reference to the organization care the it's an umbrella organization specializing in human rights how did your castro has more now from washington so heidi give us a sense of what's the distance or the difference between what donald trump has post
12:14 am
editing and what was actually said by the congresswoman. that's right peter and i'm so happy that you gave the full context of the statement that the congresswoman made which she did at a luncheon that was hosted by cair the council on american islamic relations and the focus of her twenty minute speech was about u.s. muslims having the right to stand up against discrimination and as you read in that full sentence she very clearly draws a comparison by saying that some people did something reference to nine eleven and that all u.s. muslims are and in essence paying the price and losing their access to civil liberties so the president by tweeting that video which deliberately takes four words out of that long statement out of context is being accused of putting the congresswoman deliberately in this negative and untruthful light mr trump i mean
12:15 am
correct me if i'm wrong here but mr trump has something of a track record when it comes to a lack of accuracy or interpret in the events of nine eleven as well doesn't he because he used to talk about seeing groups of muslims talk he advancing in celebration on rooftops in new york that didn't happen he talked about how you could see the sights of nine eleven from trump tower you physically calm so the backwash against him is kind of being fueled because all of the things he's done in the past in a sense i guess. that's right but this is a president who very rarely looks at his own actions in retrospect and offers any sort of apology and he's not expected to in any sense here nor is this the first time that he's tweeted out these edited doctored videos that many people will analyze and say obviously takes things out of context and may serve to inflame more of this hate rhetoric and hate acts that we've seen really surged in the u.s.
12:16 am
culture since the election of donald trump in fact this one tweet that is attacking congresswoman omar her colleagues are saying that the all of congress should come out and condemn it because it may incite more violence against omar who in fact has been the target of death threats it was just a week ago that a man from new york and who told investigators he's a trump supporter was arrested after he called omar's office threatening to quote put a bullet in her skull so these words may indeed have very detrimental effects and i should also point out that her speech about the nine eleven reference came just a week after the new zealand mosque attack in which fifty muslims were killed as far as his political base is concerned though heidi serious question does it really matter in as much as his followers who follow him on twitter his political belief
12:17 am
is they'll take away perhaps what's the headline is for them which is you have a woman you have a muslim woman saying something that degrades the impact of nine eleven which clearly as we established at the top of our conversation here on the news she didn't say that. that's right nine eleven is such a sensitive issue here in the united states and many people will certainly read the president's tweets many fellow conservatives have actually come out to support what he's saying saying that they were shocked by hearing omar statements and unfortunately that's just the reality of the matter here trump has a huge following on twitter as you know and if you look at the responses to that tweet already so many of his supporters are saying that the president did the right thing and are coming out against omar how do you think you. still to come for you here on the news hour political rivalries are out in the open as the new

to monday and that's all the action to the west that is relatively far in the clouds increasing admittedly by the time we get to monday with warmish weather and probably dusty weather through lebanon egypt and towards jordan as well but the picture the tailend rain is over the middle east the moment by sunday it would have gone south so that morning rain the u.a.e. undermanned and down the coast as well towards yemen following it a bit of a breeze possibly mild temperature district about thirty in durham twenty nine in riyadh could well be briefly dusty in this breeze never take you on from sunday to monday we end up with largely a dry picture was recovering and dry weather the nurses throughout amman and even by this time we're about days with the dryness on in the suit to the eastern side of south africa but it will not last. al jazeera as i was winning investigative documentary program people ask me
12:20 am
a lot where native women going missing are being murdered what's the reason faultlines goes beyond the headlines holding the powerful to account have you heard of this story not involved in that examining the u.s. and its role in the uk someone has to get the gun i'm shooting people right now. with a new series that's the reality that we live in coming soon on al-jazeera by major to every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories and then of course there's donald trump the town through the eyes of the welds generally that's right out of a hamas script that calls for the annihilation of israel that is not what that phrase means he joined the listening post as we turned the cameras on the media and focused on how they were caught on the stories that matter the most in better use a free palestine a listening post on al-jazeera. welcome

carney the head of yemen's general people's congress has not been elected speaker. palestine's new government is due to be sworn in within the hour mohammed shtayyeh will become the first fatah official in a decade to become prime minister he was appointed to the role by the palestinian president. mahmoud abbas critics including france's rival hamas have accused abbas of a power grab that is live for us in ramallah with more on this where does this government leave the efforts at reconciliation. now this is the first thought that official to be a government since the split happened between the west bank and the gaza strip we've spoken to hamas officials in gaza who say that this government is unconstitutional and they are waiting to see how it will be dealing with the goddess with the gaza strip we have spoken to analysts here in the west bank who believe that the reason for forming this new government does not have much to do with the conciliation
12:23 am
efforts or the split between fatah and hamas but rather with the day to day life of the people here the last government has been facing a lot of criticism from the people and it drove part of the largest protests we've seen in the west bank for the past few years so they believe that the main mission of this new government will be focused on the financial issues and the day to day issues of the palestinians the government comes at a difficult time of course for palestinians what are the priorities for the government and for the palestinians. so the palestinian public employees have been deceiving half of their salaries for the second month in a row now this is due to a financial crisis that has been hitting the palestinian authority mainly due to the u.s. cut of aid to palestinians but also due to an israeli decision to cut a part of the taxes that israel collects on behalf of the palestinians so they despondent buy it if using to take the money all together which has intensified
12:24 am
this financial crisis now with token we've spoken to prime minister who's going to be sworn in shortly and he said he doesn't believe that the financial. or the withholding of money by israel will continue so it remains to be seen how his government will be dealing with this issue which is the main important issue for the palestinian government thank you very much. syria says israel launched an air strike on a military academy which is injured at least three soldiers several buildings were destroyed in the town of mussy off in hama province local media says syrian air defenses shot down some of the missiles. ministers in lebanon are campaigning to persuade neighboring syria to reduce its trade tariffs lebanese farmers and business owners say high transit taxes on imported goods a damaging their livelihoods al-jazeera is in a hole from in eastern lebanon. traffic is slow at the main border crossing between

again and again pressure is on the revenues at the time when we witness some lebanese parties requesting normalization with the syrian regime and this is not acceptable by all means at the start of syria's civil war eight years ago didn't cut diplomatic ties but hasn't had official links. the syrian government wants to end its isolation the west however is refusing to recognize president bashar assad's government until it implements political reforms it has also preferred its allies in the arab world to put on hold and to a greater syria into the arab fold. syria's decision to reopen the border crossing with jordan late last year to jordan softening its stance towards assad but it seems jordan's moves to normalize relations haven't been enough jordan's exports to syria are down by seventy percent and. the syrian jordanian technical

a wave of airstrikes as fighters from eastern libya intensify their battle to take control of the capital tripoli. reaching a deal with other e.u. nations to take in dozens of refugees and migrants stranded at sea. a complete restructuring of government the release of detained prisoners and the end of the curfew that's what sudan's third leader in three days has promised during a televised address abdel-fattah board is the new head of the military led political transitional team he says he's open to participation from all groups in sudan in. the un human rights will be reinforced in line with international laws the provincial rulers will be relieved of duty and an invitation will be given to all the people political parties and organizations to engage in dialogue
12:50 am
a ceasefire will be enforced across the country and we invite those carrying arms to lay them down sit at the negotiation table and agree to peaceful coexistence. no months of protests led to the removal of the president omar al bashir by the military on thursday the head of the military's transitional council and intelligence chief well have since resigned and the sudanese professionals' association. as calling for a civilian government while protesters say they'll continue their sit in in the capital khartoum until that is achieved. army together with the people have been victims to those people cloaked as good virtuous men it is the judy and responsibility of the armed forces to protect the people and enforce the rule of law the armed forces men who have fallen have done their best in asking dictatorship and establishing a civil state we end all the opposition parties refused to hand over power to the military we want to totally civil leadership people morgan has more from khartoum.

three days and three different meters for sudan at the latest one abdel fatah one hand has just addressed the nation a few hours ago and he has struck a very conciliatory tone and said that he is open for dialogue but the military council does not want to take over sudan permanently but it's there to keep the security and order of affairs while political parties come together with the military council and discuss a way forward the military council said that the transitional period will be two years state of emergency has been abolished and that there will be no curfew but the political parties are asking at least most of them are asking for a four year transitional period and a transitional council that is made up of completely military free and that is made up of civilians so at the moment the military council is on one side saying that it's going to offer two years transitional council with members of the military and the political parties saying that they don't want military members especially those
12:52 am
who are allied to the former regime and the former ruling party to be part of the council but in the middle of the political parties and the military council are the people who have been protesting for the past four months they have listed their demands that they do not want anybody to be part of who was part of the regime to be part of the council but at the same time they don't want people they have been seeing over the past thirty years in the political arena they wanted new fresh faces at the moment there are still people in front of the army headquarters where they've been staging a sit in for the past six days they're still angry they're saying that the statement that has been read out by the leader of the military council have been for example hand does not satisfy them and that they wanted to hear more from him they wanted to hear tone basically that those who were ruling the country for the past thirty years will be tried and that they will be arrested they want to know who is arrested who is going to go free and what is the fate of the president already we have the head of the national intelligence and security services who has resigned this morning he was regarded as the person who was behind the attention of
12:53 am
dissidents and of their torture as well that was one of the. demands the abolishing of that and fifteen and so far the new leader abdel fatah one although he said that he is going to listen to demands he did not say and he did accept the resignation of a solid muhammad abdullah he did not exactly say that that body would be abolished so even though the political parties are open for asylum even though the military council does seem to want a dialogue we're going to have to wait and see because most of the things that are being moved at the moment is not by those two sides but rather by the people on the streets who happen protesting for the past four months joining us on the telephone from khartoum is house and zaina protest signs saying this seems to be a new tone of being conciliatory is that enough for the protesters. i would say no choice at. this speech has no difference from the. two days ago.
12:54 am
people are still obsessed. with course this. this will not stand. people are just expecting. we military to take action. to take actions against the corruption against the killing that took place. four months. later but the heads of the government. take. properties and freeze their accounts we need this money back. is what's on offer at the moment is what we've heard today enough to get the two sides to sit down together because maybe the time has come for the protesters to say that face to face to the regime instead of saying it's people like us
12:55 am
instead of saying it to each other. could you tell us you know it's been breaking up will you sit down face to face with the people who are still in power we were yes yes we would we would we don't mind yes but but we need we need to because actually i mean what did we agree upon . would anybody point that will be will be held should be should be should be taken that action immediately. i think. to you transition we're going to go on. we need. to shorten that period. they need one one point david. but we could. call
12:56 am
a. good one. the government. accepted to take preferred deep accept and the seven. ok to be signed so indeed and so much for joining us from khartoum. palestine's new government is expected to be sworn in in the next half hour or so mohamad chatah will become the first party member to take up the role of prime minister in a decade he was appointed to the role by the palestinian president and fatah ally when abbas critics including fast his rival hamas have accused abbas of a power grab and it to him is live for us in ramallah where does this leave any idea of government reconciliation efforts into. so let's start by saying peter that the government is being sworn in now as we speak the prime minister and how much they are has been sworn in by the palestinian president and now more ministers are
12:57 am
taking the oath in front of the palestinian president mahmoud abbas in the presidential headquarters in ramallah now according to what we've heard in the past a few hours that the main portfolios of the government is going to be had by led by the same people however there are a lot of change of faces in approximately at around twenty two ministers and two deputy prime ministers now as you said this is the first palestinian prime minister in a decade to be a fetish official now after the split has happened between hamas and fatah in the west bank and gaza that position has been led mainly by technocrats and analysts we've spoke to said that this has caused fetish to be paying a heavy political price because some of the failures of these governments have been accused to be a response. to be irresponsible which is the main palestinian party in the west bank now this new government in had its a lot of financial issues
12:58 am
a lot of financial problems including the cut of u.s. aid and israel's decision to. withhold a lot of the taxes it's a. collects on behalf of the palestinians and the palestinian government's response to that was to not receive the money all together we've spoken to stay in the past few days and he says he doesn't believe that this is really a decision to withhold money is going to be permanent and he think it's going to be temporary. the palestinians want to do is warm from this government. so it's important to know that we haven't been having elections in the past more than a decade now after the hamas has assumed power and what followed that of the palestinian division so what we've been hearing from palestinians in the street is mainly the cost of living and the actual paycheck they've been receiving only half of their
12:59 am
salaries for two months now so it is a big issue for the palestinians and while there are focusing on the financial issue there are also other issues the street is interested in which is for example the prisoners salaries the palestinian prisoners in israeli jail which has caused the main cut of palestinian tax money by israel and so palestinians believe that this issue is close to that hearts the prison is a paychecks must continue according to many palestinians are saying specifically that their own four hundred prisoners have been hunger striking protesting their living conditions so the listing is want to see what they've told us more dignity they want to see that the palestinian government does not sacrifice what happens to them but the question is how long can these palestinians tolerate the financial crisis. thank you very much forces fighting for control of
