6:51 am
believe that there is a process towards which civilian control of security forces will be the end goal it won't happen quickly but i'm sure that there are measures that can be taken a number of steps that will increase the likelihood that the protesters will be satisfied i know that this is a critical moment for them to to maintain coherence it will be very easy for them to disagree on what measures are acceptable where compromises are being offered so it's not clear what what final measure will actually tip the balance and make the protesters comfortable enough to believe that the changes is real and not not artificial. military sources in libya say a group of fighters loyal to willfully five to have surrendered to the u.n. backed government with their weapons and vehicles the government also said its

6:57 am
mediterranean so far this year. at first fishermen marzouk saw dead babies women and men floating in the sea now he sees bodies and limbs washing up on tunisia's beaches moved by the sight of so many dead migrants. buried over four hundred of them. now no one can stop their journey maybe their souls made it to europe or even to america we may have buried their bodies but not their dreams. but. for these tunisian fishermen their action is an attempt to bring some human dignity to those who lost their lives in the mediterranean and they fear the fighting in libya was even more tempting to make that dangerous journey nicholas hawk al jazeera at the tunisian libyan border

. a new candidate has just entered the race to take on u.s. president donald trump in next year's presidential election in what would be a history making campaign pete is the latest in series of hopefuls aiming to get the nomination for the opposition democratic party thirty seven year old would be the youngest ever president if elected and as a committed christian and military veteran who served in afghanistan is also openly gay and would be the first openly gay candidate for the white house. the greatest nation in the world should have nothing to fear from children fleeing violence or even more of her i. even more importantly. children fleeing violence are to have nothing to fear from the greatest country in the world. that sounds great to john hendren who is in washington so he's got a very interesting background he was relatively unknown and now he's out polling
6:59 am
some of the more prominent democratic hopefuls what's been the reaction there now that he's officially launched his campaign for the white house. well bridge is now a household word here in the united states everybody knows who he is he's been leading up to this announcement for weeks and he's got a very devoted following there in his hometown of south bend indiana it's a republican state so one the democrats would very much like to win as you said he's he's thirty seven years old he would be the youngest president in u.s. history by five years five years younger than teddy roosevelt when he became president so he is known for his intelligence and for his uplifting rhetoric he has degrees from harvard and oxford he speaks several different languages taught himself norwegian just so that he could read one particular author he also speaks multi-verse of all languages so he's in interesting guy he would be the first gay
