hello welcome to the program and we begin this hour in turkey where the parliament has approved a government motion to deploy troops to libya in support of the un recognized administration in tripoli that's been fighting against the wall of her life after his forces launched an offensive to capture the capital last april turkey says its troops will protect its rights in the mediterranean and its interests in libya like the deals ankara and tripoli recently signed on military cooperation and maritime boundaries but today with challenges turkish opposition parties are against the move and say ankara should have 1st given priority to a diplomatic solution and in the past our president has also warned president won against foreign interference in libya. i'm going to joe is following the story from ankara joins us live now is there any more reaction to president comment to

president one. turkish politicians have been speaking about the general reaction also about the passing of the buildout authorizes the deployment of turkish troops to libya and they have been saying. this is a message to. the warlords for how often on those boxing him including the united arab emirates egypt and even france about it won't be business as usual of course. common to buy from. foreign interference is complicating. in the conflict in maybe a. split is coming. i mean is the position being held by many world leaders who see how. the libyan situation is

becoming reaction was awful very swift coming from egypt with the government issuing a statement saying that turkey's pull on is going to destabilize the entire military and region and also president of the holding. company admitting to discuss the whole issue of course this is not going to come. any. to all the people who are backing khalifa haftar of the moment. the motion did pass but it wasn't plain sailing was it how much opposition was there in the takesh parliament to said decision to deploy troops to tripoli. well it seems the most tovar position save for a match to which is affiliated with president. priority was told to be against

the idea of deploying the troops they have been saying that this is only going to. turkey into a very confused picture about the political situation in the conflict in libya is of the moment of course the opposition on has been strengthened by recent electoral gains including taking over the leadership of the. metro police. so they made the. opposition to the deployment of troops very much visible in parliament so. the opposition are dead against it thank you very much with the latest from ankara mohammed let's now speech to mahmoud underwired he joins us live from tripoli what is the view there then to this deepening takesh involvement in the conflict in libya.

well. the boast that this decision by the parliament has given to the libyan categories of official institutions especially in the west of the country is very clear today many people cheering up especially military commanders on the ground because the are sure that this military corp is going to change the balance of power on the ground this is going to make a change in favor of the government forces of the ground that's according to military commanders and we have been getting reports from the high state council that there tripoli based heisted council will coming this decision and also from the. house of representatives and also officials at the government of national accord they have been all welcoming this decision by the turkish parliament also the interior minister and a government of national called for to also posted

a statement a long statement actually saying also that now just to show you that the amount of confidence this decision has given to the. government officials bashar says that now have to has 2 choices either to. surrender or to face consequences so as you know money that this military cooperation between turkey and libya is very crucial to both countries for the government forces this is very crucial in the capital tripoli especially in their battle to defend the capital against have to force it and it seems that this is going to be a long corp because as you know that by virtue of the maritime and military agreements signed by both parties the last in november. turkey is benefiting a lot by. exploring. energy resources in the mediterranean and

also libya especially if the government of national accord is has now an ally that's going to according to many experts on the ground going to shift their. balance to the favor of the government of national accord. all right thank you very much mahmoud had in tripoli and of course there are commercial reasons for this as well turkey's decision is being seen by some analysts as a means to position itself to explore for oil and gas in the eastern mediterranean it comes as leaders of israel greece and cyprus signed a multi-billion dollar pipeline deal that could decrease europe's reliance on russian gas the eastern med pipeline as it's known will tap gas or gas reserves from israel's offshore levant basin and then carry it to the greek island of crete then the pipeline joins the greek mainland and runs to italy it could provide the

suffering at the hands of the country's military. there are many human rights abuses people got raped and tortured it's happening to us and many ethnic groups in myanmar. men and women take part in fitness drills and training scenarios to deliver aid and treat civilians wounded in areas of conflict these people come from the states of catchin shan qur'an. where there are fragile ceasefire and sporadic fighting. the f.b.i. is privately funded and was founded 25 years ago by former u.s. special forces member and pastor david eubanks and he wants government to be held to account shelling in displacing villagers that's attempted murder and in some cases murder and burning their homes so that's another war crime many here are members of ethnic groups who say they're helping to protect ethnic groups from the

country. but according to local media. general zelman tune says the group is not to be trusted and could be escalating the conflict he says the militants and according to information he received their os to attack outposts as a way of testing their training and from the united states republican congressman ralph abraham is visiting the group as part of a fact finding trip. ethnic regions we and america hopefully have the backs of the people here that want democracy they want their freedom they want their independence and jobs to care that much of you back to the states the u.n. general assembly has condemned human rights abuses against her hand to muslims and other minorities in myanmar. the country is also facing a charge of genocide the international court of justice the military myanmar is determined to keep a probably just nationalist. 2 divisions over loyd against the who judge and they

unclear at this stage what exactly is going to happen next now we've spoken to legal experts here who tell us that well it's assumed right now that basically this red notice is going to go 1st to the general prosecutor that then the general prosecutor will have to study the case will then have to make a decision as to how to proceed whether or not to actually bring in mr go in or not to and only after that happens will they really proceed so it really sounds like this is not something that's going to happen in just a day or 2 there were remarks made a few hours ago also by the justice minister. he said that while lebanon is going to respect its international obligations mr go and did enter this country legally there are stories being written a lot of rumors a lot of speculation as to where exactly this should go in as many of the people assembled here believe he is in this house many of the people here believe he is in

another part of the country there's been rumors in the local media that he has met with officials but none of that has been officially confirmed it's interesting to note that all through the travails of mr goh in the past couple of years that the politicians across the political spectrum and this is a very divided political spectrum here in lebanon politicians across the political spectrum have continued to vociferously support mr goh and often times in the past several years because mr going is so respected by these politicians many people have said that he should come back here they should help solve 11 an economic crisis and perhaps one day he should run for office here. about judge has suspended the process extraditing castle and separate cutlass pushed him on to spain pushed him out fled to belgium after a failed bid for catalan independence in 2017 a spanish supreme court issued an arrest order against him but now a judge has ruled that pushed him on status as a member of the european parliament wants him immunity politicians from the catalan

parliament to allow breaks it to happen at the end of january with a transition period to follow meaning little change on the ground until at least the end of next year for governments in and after years of tough often acrimonious negotiations it is possible that 2020 will see britain's exit from the european union become law but don't expect that to be the end of the briggs's pain through here in brussels due renewal to inside e.u. institutions new commission president. says she's keen to preserve good relations with the united kingdom in negotiations to come over the future relationship but ill you interests will always come 1st and i think the danger in terms of relations is that again things get pretty tense between the 2 sides with the pressure from the u.k. side to get things done very quickly and the new side saying that's just not

feasible unless you're willing to you know do things our way prime minister johnson insists a trade deal can and must be struck by the end of 2020 with no extension here in brussels you know people who are veterans of this kind of process with other countries you know say it takes much longer a year of more negotiating breadlines rhetoric and records. lies ahead and back in london the prospect that by next december britain once again risks reaching no deal with the e.u. the one thing that we do know about prime minister johnson is that he's put a lot of quite obvious red lines his manifesto no single market no presence union no role thier pinkel just as much a lot to his supporters but the other thing we know from. is he can be flexible when he sees a deal in sight breaks it promises to be broken reversed the i'm deliverable
