7:51 pm
well still the situation is still very tense specially on the southern part of the capital as sporadic fighting continues between have to his forces and forces loyal to the because government of national accord sources with the government say that the government forces have managed to take control of new locations south of the capital namely in our area around forty five kilometers to the south from tripoli it's very strategic because it's a linking point between have to his forces positioned to tripoli and the supporting line coming from the city of horner around one hundred kilometers to the southern east from the capital tripoli remember that is one of the major supporting cities in the west of libya. for the warlord to be for have to alongside the city of her again also the government forces overnight continued targeting have to his forces
7:52 pm
in the around the tripoli international airport that's the in active international airport on this southern western part of the capital this is a very bleak especially for civilians are stuck in and around the fighting areas and aid agencies have been struggling to reach people and civilians trapped in the fighting areas and more than thirty thousand people have been displaced of the whole out of their homes because of the fighting so far in terms of the capital and quite briefly my mood just gives an idea of how many hospitals we're talking about and how many of those hospitals are on the outer so conference of the capital and more vulnerable to attack. well as you know those who hold the health sector are generally in libya is very very weak and it at the tripoli based health ministry which is under the u.n. of government has just put all its hospitals and medical centers on high alert but
7:53 pm
it says it suffers from severe shortage of medical equipment medical staff and medications and we visited some hospitals here they did not allow us to film of course but the medical staff there told us that they had to evacuate patients and all of those to have room for the. people to be to receive that medical treatment there is complain of a shortage of medical equipment and medical staff in hospitals and medical centers and also all aid organizations are threatened when they move into and around the fighting areas and many. red crescent staff have been wanted in the fighting in fact. have been hit by random fire near the fighting area so the
7:54 pm
moment to move to relieve it of course come back to you with updates through the thank you. let's go to our other top story here on al-jazeera and that's that security services in sri lanka are taking extra precautions following sunday's multiple bomb attacks that killed three hundred fifty nine people a nationwide alert has been issued with police searching for nine vehicles church services in colombo have been suspended but may resume on sunday and the central bank has long was locked down for a time following a warning about an imminent explosion meanwhile a new video has emerged reportedly showing a suicide bomber at a restaurant in the settlement grand hotel on sunday police say eight out of the nine suicide bombers have been identified at least seventy six people have been arrested in connection with the attacks well let's join middel fernandez who is our senior correspondent in colombo at the moment mina let's just talk about the increased security presence and this search for nine vehicles.
7:55 pm
this is quite why i dream. of basically stop and search as it involves all three members of the armed forces. the army the navy the air force the police special task force commanders of the sort of crack police commando units so all it's all hands on deck so hailed as the security of stablish burned in sri lanka tries to bring in. as many of those involved in sunday's carnage they tried to bring them in ensure that the rope in as many of these elements as possible we're hearing a number of alerts there has been a powerful a very heightened sense of security for a couple of hours particularly here in the sri lankan capital colombo i mean just over my shoulder in the background you can see the shangri-la. and on the other
7:56 pm
side the kingsbury two of those five star hotels attacked on sunday i mean the security is very high even our teams have had to deal with stop and search. we had a freelance cameraman working for us who was filming some of the stop and search who literally was stopped taken by one of these security to the local police station he had to establish his identity and this took about an hour and a half because obviously the law enforcement authorities do not want to take any risks and of course this all comes under the umbrella of the emergency legislation that's been unfolding since those that time of course with. comes. and essence of the government to solve trying to get a. grip on exactly where they need to you might say.
7:57 pm
because a rush huge gaps in the security operators at the moment general security of the country which needs to be addressed for the public's sake. that's right so hello vias lead these huge kind of new poor this is what has been exploited by the attackers on that easter sunday morning and since now you have to remember that at the end of the war ten years ago in two thousand and nine between the government forces and the time of tigers this country had see the tall suicide bomb explosions almost every single day a number on certain days checkpoints every few years a state of emergency however at the end of the war it was almost a breath of fresh air when these regulations were relaxed as we went along as a year's progress they found that security was being relaxed in terms of change of government amid criticism that those sort of very stark and heavy regulations
7:58 pm
needed to be eased to include sort of civil liberties being employed. but now we're seeing a return to these emergency regulations we're seeing the full force of them kicking in and one researcher i spoke to us on the valley has described the emergency regulations as a huge expansion of national security powers of the state in fact it's he said it's one of the most significant expansion of these powers for a long long time these emergency regulations notes that the president when he talked about bringing them in in his address to the nation did specify or point out that he would be pertaining to prevention of terrorism clauses under the emergency regulations but looking at the role scope of these regulations that have been formalized as a thirty three page document it just hits home as to how wide ranging these are and again. told al-jazeera that this basically covers almost every single fundamental
7:59 pm
right of sri lankan citizens. censorship. basically. the takeover of newspapers perceptions demonstrations also allows the authorities to hold people for up to three months without going through the formal process and then extend this kind of detention to a year obviously for the authorities. to hammer down on this current sort of terror that. all of these alerts about explosions that they need a heavy hand to try and bring the situation under control is sadly ironic that they're trying to do this. all of these intelligence information was available but nothing was done however still it's
8:00 pm
a case of trying to bring the situation under control. on this situation and. indeed we will come back to you were with through the day for the moment thank you but often and as in colombo. the russian and north korean leaders first face to face meeting is describing talks with kim jong un. substantial. denuclearization can only be achieved through international law and the north needs security karen. what is denuclearization it is to a certain extent disarmament of north korea of course i have spoken about it all the time and can confirm once again the north korea site speaks about it as well democratic people's republic of north korea needs guarantee of its safety and sovereignty. of the people of the two countries who share a valuable friendship that was created and strengthened while overcoming every hardship and challenge thrown to us by history have
