officials there had their husband was kidnapped four times and tortured my sisters and i one of them pregnant was thrown into a fire and the only one that survived and have been marks. as fighting intensified she fled to what she and hundreds of others and all struck the city of a good as is a transit point for migrants and refugees from across africa for decades thousands of african migrants pass through here across the mediterranean and into europe but people are not going to us here say because of the fighting in libya that flow has slowed down and now reversed but many africans have not given up on their hopes they just waiting for the right moment to go on the fighting in libya in mali and the political uncertainty in algeria these areas bracing for a wave of people we are in the worst case scenario planning a likelihood for a massive movement from libya into the share today i

don't see however everything is possible and we must not be caught off guard the possibility of an influx to a region struggling with a point kind of me is creating panic among locals in first instance decade moved apart from infrastructure there are concerns about the proliferation of small arms in addition to human trafficking and other illegal activities have increased but we've taken steps to try to address these concerns. many here feel the country has been left with a burden it has neither the resources and the capacity to deal with with more people coming into the country they're worried about the impact it will have on their lives i'm a decrease al-jazeera i get is no the new chair. more or less the turmoil continues libya's un by its governments is no warning egypt of meddling with its

affairs. we hope that all countries including the republic of egypt are aligned with the will of the libyan people and the stability of libya will be beneficial to egypt as for terrorism and those who play to the tune of terrorism and if you don't agree with me you are a terrorist or a member of the muslim brotherhood this kind of talk is feeble and baseless egypt is totally free to conduct its own policy but the libyan people are absolutely free to choose what they want and what is in their best interest no country or group can impose their opinion on the choice of the libyan people which is the libyan people's voice will be strong in choosing what they see in their interest. well let's stay with this funnels person john the son libya experts and author of several books on libya including libya from coney revolution and he joins us now on skype from albuquerque thank you so much mr jordan for joining us we've been hearing there from the from a representative all of the u.n.

backed government saying that egypt is meddling with its affairs this is now starting to spill lights beyond libya's or it's just. tell us just how exactly is supporting general haftar his campaign's take tripoli and why. well first of all of thank you for having me but if you're me on al-jazeera i'll send. it out he was overthrown until the union did on an eleven a number of governments of support a general haftar islam or a national army including egypt or. the air or look it is the air her much una are you know never. france and russia to a certain degree as well as others on the other side people supporting. the government national court which is farms in twenty fourteen twenty fifteen twenty

sixty. that support is largely found from cutter and turkey so you have all number of foreign governments involved in those rather chaotic situation will last five years. nothing new to learn egypt has been supporting in general afternoon sounds in now move north towards tripoli. so the only thing i think that's really new yorkers authority is that general have to match what the saudi government the king solomon the end of last month in riyadh and reported he received not all mia. support in terms of moral support but also arms and your money perhaps an arms to because the saudis would like to see stability and security returned to libya so that's a new player and you know very difficult complicated floorman or wrenching game in

libya today it is and many people i'm sure would like to see stability in what has been a very unstable country for some time that but the u.n. has as thrown its lot behind this international recognized government's interest. and that and that includes fronts so what francis distances some for these claims that they're supporting have to protest where they stand and why are they at the taking this very new on one foot in one foot out approach. my understanding of the french government's position is that yes they want to see jerry i want to see mostly in libya but the problem is the government of national court which is farm and twenty fifteen twenty sixteen really. has never been able to achieve those objectives it's a government that was formed basic biggest support un western interests

primarily to stop the illegal migration from a year to year as well as to contest the isis and other islamic radical islamic governments as opposed to what the libyan people themselves are interested in which was security the belly some got another great government some kind of economic. improvement so floor so the government of national court never had the support of the libyan big will be guinea and i think what you're seeing now is with the move of general haftar on tripoli now much of the number of national guard and increasingly obviously a need for some kind of or totally different approach to the libyan problem and what would that approach look like. well i think you've got to step back and find a way to get the libyan people at the local regional level involved in any kind of

solution. governor ashleigh clore was flarm from politicians and political groups which if you go back and look at all public opinion polls and try and twelve clients are to try for dinner only twice those are the people of the libyan. people and so said we don't want to deal with because we don't feel they have the interests of the libyan people and. in terms of a better look in the future so i think what you need to do is step back and slide away to get tribal leaders urban towns leaders rural leaders and so who are involved in more of a mass approach to what libya was the doing to the future and how they're going to get there you know it has to be a solution created by and driven by the libyan people i'm so not the united nations of the western governments and i've just finally mississippi john do you think

general have to will manage to take tripoli. i think it's very improbable i see three scenarios at this point. one job after tries to take aaa and sails and that would be qantas clears make god make her here's a yes let me national army which is not made out well but it's not an army in the real sense it's a group of militias and in ethnic groups and so horrific really has no desire to spoil a lot of blood triplett so i don't think that's a very likely scenario more like to think yes general haftar will stop. at the edge of tripoli and try to use it as advance through the south followed by the aid massmart recently on tripoli as a bahraini surely un conference what should the both know you're supposedly will be held later in the months in the course whether or not that happens to some degree

and on the fighting around tripoli dangerous i think that's the more realistic solution or a realistic outcome that. half there is really using and moves south earlier in the month and now towards tripoli as a bargaining tool to try and graziers a political opposition party position negotiating position that the un cumbers ok well as that continues to play out we will of course be across events but for now ronald bruce and john joining us from albuquerque thank you so much for your analysis and your insights here on al-jazeera thank you hala. this a lot more so as the car on the news are including. american airlines extends its cancellations of flights aboard the seven three seven max but how will it affect its customers. and in sports the battle for the english premier league title is going on the war will have all the details.

well jiri ins living in the u.k. and france have held rallies to demand the immediate resignation of the incident governments in algeria in london they demonstrated in trafalgar square calling for all allies of former president of the thing to be removed from power the same call was made inside the old syria the interior minister was forced to cut short some official visits to the southern states of bashar was the first such trip by a representative of algeria interim government's. robe of a car as a research fellow at the paris based school for advanced studies in the social sciences she explains why the boycotts is significant. so i moved out it's part of a larger moment actively that want to disconnect from their regions plans and

imports to control the transition you know for doing good for the past three mandates algerians have been shifted from indifference do are they buy you want we don't take we don't care about your politics we let's just leave our lives to both cut it was actually already this is the situation of my country already experienced it for the past two months to a refusal to let the regime on their on its own and alone control politics so this is part of a movement that is trying to get back. the sense of political life the real political life and to and to come and to make the faults of the regime to control transition and actually you know point and this will are it's an important move because this will force the regime to something tangible of the fighting in

libya and the process in sudan and all geria are among the topics being discussed such a human rights conference right here in doha jeff aid spoke to more of a smiley from the u.n. about the challenge human rights workers face. then it gets representatives of two hundred fifty organizations non-government and government and organizations and groups who are trying to uphold the rule of law and talk about civil rights and civil liberties have gathered here in doha and the theme is the challenge here that human rights workers and rights workers in general have been facing is the impunity with which human rights are being planted and to talk about this further we have with us from the office of the human rights commissioner mona we thank you very much for being with us so we've heard a lot about these laws which are in place and the challenges that impunity with which they are being flouted what can the human rights community do to change that

a lot lot we we need to stand up together for the values and i think this meeting here and this gallery to remind us what are the values that we are standing up for together for and to really work with the various organs and to work with governments on the others to achieve these values we are at a very critical time and this meeting there was a sense of urgency that was from different parts. of from different countries so we heard from syria we heard from yemen we heard from palestine and everybody is talking about how how desperate their city ration is so i think we need to find a way to work together to find in to impunity and this massive human rights violations that people are going through. a senior member of the ice a group in somalia has been killed in an airstrike he was targeted in what's believed to have been a u.s. led air strike. could was the deputy these are of the group north of the point plan

political crisis. run p.s.e. is in cahoots and brings us the latest. this was the opportunity for the secretary of state mike pale to address the humanitarian crisis inside been a swell of directly he had the opportunity here to meet with the venezuelan migrants and others who cross into colombia almost on a daily basis in search of basic medicine and food that they can find a back home and it was the opportunity to call. the president nicolas maduro directly to lead a there were sent by the united states here at the border inside venezuela. to paraphrase a president who faced similar circumstances mr dural open these bridges open these borders you can enlist today what mike pale didn't mention though is the

fact that the the standoff has changed in the last couple of weeks with president nicolas maduro. that there is a humanitarian crisis inside this very nice way and he has reached a deal with the international committee of the red cross to begin a huge relief effort inside the country in coming weeks what did insist on is that the u.s. will continue to pressure president nicolas maduro to push for a transition inside the country also issuing a stern warning the united states will continue to utilize every economic and political means at our disposal to help the venezuelan people. using sanctions bisa revocations and other means we pledge to hold the regime and those propping up accountable for their corruption and their repression of democracy. we are deeply

aware of the recent intimidation tactics used by the majority this past thursday but those should know we are watching and our support will not waver for the united states this trip was the opportunity to keep the momentum against president nicolas maduro new support of the leader of the opposition inside venezuela. and also possibly to show a unity of purpose among the allies in the amis fear the question of course is this trip will do anything to change this stalemate inside venezuela well first this vice presidents of the kind of the americas former white house official he says the u.s. could see even more pressure material. the current sanctions can be applied more tightly and i think that's one thing mr pompei always trying to do is to get the allies in latin america themselves to step up their own application of sanctions in a more coordinated way to come alongside with the united states has already done

been doing secondly yes there are additional things that can be done but at the end of the day if the economy doesn't encourage improve if the health situation doesn't get better if food continues to be scarce and i think all of those are probably going to happen then the venezuelan people are the ones who ultimately have to pay the price and they can decide to stay or leave already more than ten percent of other whales populations outside the country so it is a very desperate and dire situation already by everybody from president trump to his most senior advisers have said all options are on the table so i think that's probably you have to take them at their word but having said that i think you also have to take them at their word that they have several more steps that they are intending to implement before they get to any sort of use of force or anything like that meanwhile continuing to try to turn up the pressure on mr maduro to cause him to leave of his own decision of his own volition if they can do that then indeed there is an opportunity for the interim government of why go to come in to take

deadly crashes killed more than three hundred people this is after southwest airlines on thursday said it too would cancel its flights of that plane through mid august that is one hundred and sixty eight canceled flights per day because southwest airlines has more of those planes than any other company this has been devastating for boeing which is now lost eleven percent of its stock value they've cut production of the plane from fifty two a month to forty two that's due to some cancellations of orders but the biggest hit for the company has been to their reputation the challenger it's a victim ends uneasy and president says the country needs an economic change of the direction. it's off against incumbents joke away due to overseeing school at economic growth and his first term but his rival in wednesday's election says many indonesians aren't seeing the benefits reports. in indonesia's

voters in finland do have their worries they've all played into the uncertainty surrounding sunday's parliamentary elections four years of austerity cuts have helped push the social democrats the center left opposition into the lead ahead of the vote there promising to increase taxes to fight inequality the big question is how to reform education reform. how to care for older people and those are very big questions for us. you know are part of . last month the government of prime minister you have resigned after it failed to achieve a key policy goal on social welfare and health care reform how finland which only emerged from recession three years ago and continues to fund its generous welfare state is one dividing line another is immigration the social democrats favor a work related immigration policy to compensate for the aging population and declining birth rates but the nationalist pins party which has been running

a close second is proposing tougher limits on immigration we want to reduce to as low as possible. the kind of immigration that is in our opinion damaging to the public finances of the whole country and to the safety and security of people that is mostly so-called humanitarian immigration from the third world the finns party has had an effect on the way that we speak about immigration and other parties are being very cautious about their stand in the immigration issue. because they are fearing that the things party or their support will leak into the flames party another issue on many minds especially in cities like the capital helsinki is climate change of the environment in finland like same political parties like year after year wreck of our nature and you know we have to suffer here we have to build respect back to the mother nature i wish that there would be
