hello we begin in berlin that's where libya's warring leaders and powerful outsiders who backed them are at a summit aimed at ending years of chaos and conflict the chancellor angela merkel is hosting 12 world leaders including the presidents of turkey russia and france as well as the u.k. prime minister boris johnson so their priorities are to curb foreign military interference and solidify a cease fire russia's vladimir putin met turkey's ratchet tell yer to on earlier on the day they backed rival sides russia supports warlords have to well turkey is helping the u.n. recognize government is fighting against their previous ceasefire efforts have broken down if you. we have been trying on a number of occasions to have a cease fire agreement signed the national government of accord signed

a cease fire agreement yes it wasn't signed by the other possibly by hostile if we failed to have a cease fire in place and if we failed to have an agreement signed we will never see her. hostilities coming to an end to go with. we think both the parties for coming to moscow as they both had heeded our calls and they had both responded to our demands of a ceasefire now we are in berlin we hope for more success in this particular crisis . back in libya fighting has continued near the capital tripoli and there been reports of artillery fire as have to use force to try to take an area south off the city. standing by for us in tripoli to tell us more about that will cross over lifetime in just a moment but 1st let's bring in jim standing by for us in berlin what are you hearing about. what's the sense actually general that you're getting about how likely it is that leaders will reach an agreement. well i

mean people are trying to draw optimism in the fact that this meeting is taking place in and of itself but there is still a huge way true. to bring growth sides together fact both sides refused to sits around the same table here in berlin despite the un recognized prime minister the prime minister of the united governments that are. being president and a renegade general also here about sort of said he wouldn't be sitting around the same table somebody he accuses of having the blood of libyans on their hands so there is a lot of work to be done but we have been looking at this draft communicate there in that has come out and it's looking at different aspects of moving forward different talking about likelihood of what's we can achieve let's be realistic here you're not going to get an end to a civil war that has gone on for so long one that's has different regional and international powers backing different sides the amount of weapons that exists and

are freely available for different militias within libya and so forth but what we are getting. some of the main points right so you know there's the usual kind of rhetoric of reaffirming a strong commitment to the sovereignty and independence and territorial integrity of libya something that you would hear when there are syrian peace talks when there are rocky peace talks and whenever there is any conflicts moving on them or maybe significant thing is a real for mation unequivocally to fully respect and implements an arms embargo established 2011 by the united nations obviously if that arms embargo was respected by countries namely the united arab emirates and egypt you wouldn't have had a civil war but obviously this is an attempt maybe to reestablish those arms embargo there's another band under the economic and financial reform and that is that the parties gathered here. maintain the importance to restore and respect and safeguard the libyan sovereign. institutions when it comes to economic and mainly

the central bank of libya and the national oil corporation why is that important there in one half that for example use mints in russia for the russians to print money for him and obviously if there was a respect for the national bank of libya this wouldn't have happened and would have meant that half of them have been able to hire mercenaries in the end of this war when of going on so long but more significant for the international community is that the oil pipelines and stations that have been now under the control of huff that has really raised alarm bells around the world and finally the most important points maybe here in terms of moving forward is that the groups gathered here if this group communique does gets agreed upon the creates what they're calling an international committee or are you see which will work on 2 levels one is a plan plenary one which will be working under the chairmanship of the un's and boy . they will meet month to be on the 2nd is one that will have working groups that will meet twice monthly either in libya or neighboring tunisia which ironically

hasn't even been invited to this berlin conference ok jim i will cross back to you later thank you for that update from berlin so as jamal was saying a draft of the final communique expected to be released later at that conference in berlin is calling on all parties to refrain from hostilities against oil facilities and the latest attacks by forces loyal to have to have forced the closure of 5 of libya's eastern oil exporting ports they are how he got. there and libya's national oil company says that will result in a loss an output of 800000 barrels a day to talk about the impact of that let's bring in what are the raw had he is joining us from tripoli so to discuss the closure of the oil fields mahmoud's but as well we are getting reports that there may be some fighting ongoing in southern tripoli while these talks are taking place in berlin what are you hearing. doing. we have been hearing sounds of the heavy explosions since the morning and

spokesman has been saying that it is going to abide by the iraqi government's decision to for push out american and foreign troops out of iraq and will not be carrying out any further attacks but he did say that their patience is going to run out if the government does not deliver on its promises did tell us that. it which is banned by the united states is carrying out attacks inside and in iraq and in syria against what he called a united threat which is faced by all groups which are on the right side of history according to him which is iceland. has been has been credited for many of these attacks by the united states after it was designated as a terrorist group but according to the group they are not in hiding he met us in plain sight he says there they are going to continue their activities political social and others he did mention that they are going to wait and see what the

u.s. does in this region but the he said their writing is on the wall in the u.s. forces and coalition troops should be thinking about leaving iraq he did mention about this this specific meeting which happened in the city of qom in iran which he said was a crucial meeting and many important decisions came out of it. what about the meeting in. all of the leaders of various. part of that meeting in. that meeting was very important to coordinate our actions activities and the resistance and the next steps maybe the americans will stay in iraq and challenge us it was the 1st step in a new era of coordination among shia and resistance forces we answered the call from the solder to meet in calm and one of the results was the protest which will happen in 4 or 5 days in iraq. and as i mentioned about his will have been banned by the united states it is a group which is seen as a threat to not just u.s.

and coalition troops but according to the united states on iraqis as well as just something that the spokesman rubbished and he said that they are the sons of the soil and they'll continue their struggle against what he called a u.s. aggression and illegal presence in iraq he did mention the protesters as well have been gathering in their thousands across iraq and he said that the divans for iranian and u.s. influence he agrees with them. whether it is iranian forces or the u.s. forces on the ground in iraq iraqis will not accept it and they should and but he mentioned that the ties that the iraqis and the iranians have in both military social and ideological terms go beyond what is being seen on the battlefield all right thank you for that update from baghdad. meanwhile iraqi demonstrators are still blocking major roads there saying the government's promised reforms aren't

happening fast enough and they've set up barricades and put burning tires on roads in the country's south. at least 12 people have been injured by security forces. spread corruption as well as a lack of public services and demonstrators are threatening to escalate their anti government action and possibly even cut off large areas of iraq south iran reports . oh preparations begin for what protesters say will cripple iraq's roads they may be small in number at the moment but these protesters say they will cut off the south of iraq from the rest of the country by blocking all the main roads the reason is simple they say their demands for a new prime minister a new elections have been met and if they're not met by sunday night they will make good on that threat all across the south and the shot or so out of ostend we block

the roads and are demanding our rights the rights of young people to get jobs we want rapid elections an independent candidate who doesn't belong to the old parties are going to demand the central government go to early elections and nominate a new pm independent and accepted by protesters if not we will escalate and block the highway and all the entrances of the city and kick out the corrupt officials so far iraq's security forces are letting the protesters make a stand now you know. and that's you know babylon we allow the demonstrators to express their constitutional rights but not affect or harm other residents when demonstrators block the roads the security forces negotiate with the protesters to find solutions and we become mediators between babylon's local governments and the demonstrators. throughout the south of iraq protesters gather every day in large number but they concern that they're not being listened to prime minister i'd love to muddy has said he will step down and he's currently in a caretaker role but so far none of the alternative names put forward for the top

job are acceptable to either parliament or the protest movement and that's frustrating the protesters the protest movement faces a decisive moment in the coming days they need to put enough pressure on the government so it meets their demands by threatening to cut off the south or off from the rest of the country is a bold move whether it works remains to be see him drunk on al-jazeera bob dylan. the body is of 11 ukrainians killed on board a passenger plane which iran said it has mistakenly shot down have been repatriated they've received a military guard of honor in kiev attended by presidents of volunteers alinsky authorities into iran say they're analyzing the flight recorders from the ukrainian airlines jets and have no current plans the sun the black boxes overseas iran is under pressure to compensate the families of $176.00 victims. while

iranian officials now say they have no current plans to send the plane's black boxes overseas for analysis explains from to her own there's some confusion about whether or not the authorities here would send it to block boxes that they retrieved from the crash site near the airport but according to the head of the investigations team of the civil aviation authority in iran the iranians have no plans to send either of the black boxes to be analyzed either in ukraine or any other western country for that matter for the forseeable future that's what we know so far we do know that the 150 bodies out of the 176 victims have been identified and have been given back to the loved ones at the 11 that we know have been sent back to ukraine is just part of the ones that they are given back the bodies to the country that they are supposed to go back to the authorities here say that they don't plan on giving this black boxes to any other country for the time being

because they're still analyzing they're trying to retrieve the data that is on those boxes trying to piece together what happened in the. last moments of the flight before it was shot down by. officials this is something that has been ongoing they also have had from the ukraine germany and france and canada who have come to iran to help in the investigation. protests to turn violent on the streets of hong kong after pro-democracy demonstrators tried to march in defiance of a ban riot police fired tear gas at protesters and arrested several people thousands have gathered in the center of the city for the demonstration sarah clarke was at the rally in hong kong she says the police response is part of a security cracked out ahead of the chinese new year. it began as a peaceful rally with thousands gathered in china garden in central hong kong on the island and the organizers of this particular rally they wanted to march but the

police denied that approval but the point is where to hit any why now they lift and i march along some the busy thoroughfare the big highways behind us all day why why by but the protesters were stopped and we got a police line behind me where hundreds of right place blocked that exits and they pushed them back they've also fought a number of rounds of tear gas and sponge grenades on those protesters trying to disperse the crowd and the police always said that they would move in if that particular group of the demonstrate just started to move and they did now we've had a number of arrests also. and it's all part of a police crackdown as we enter the chinese festival other place and the government has banned a number of events of the coming weeks and a number of fish have also wrapped up their security around hong kong as part of a police crackdown on the anti-government demonstrations which are now in the month . the chinese national health commission says the outbreak of a deadly new virus is controllable despite 17 new cases being confirmed in the central city on the health of the transmission of the virus has not been completely

mapped and its source is unknown although it's believed to have originated from an animal markets in total $62.00 cases have been confirmed and people have died from the outbreak the u.k. scientists think there could be more than 701 confirmed cases. israel's treatment of the palestinians is a deliberate act of humiliation that's the view of the former top united nations human rights official who stepped down from his post at the end of last year our diplomatic editor james bass has this report that. he was one of the un's top human rights officials assistant secretary general andrew gilmore seen here with refugees in bangladesh serve the international organization for 30 years now he's stepped down and he's given a scathing assessment of the state of human rights particularly in israel and the palestinian territories how bad is the situation on the ground particularly in gaza

for ordinary people it is absolutely appalling in gaza the actual physical condition of people is is indescribable it is to me just scandalous that the world allows that siege it's a siege essentially i mean that is the word that when i was in the u.n. we couldn't use that without getting a lot of protest but effectively that's what it is goods and are probably allowed in and people are not allowed out he agreed with the assessment the situation is similar to the way white controlled south africa was run into the beginning of the 1990 s. apart age it's very hard to see that the to ration and not regard it as a segregation that is so profound that it that it reaches the level of apartheid but i've never seen a greater deliberate humiliation of an entire people and that has been very consistent trend that i've seen is this get that it gets worse but it seems to be

that humiliation is almost part of the the game plan. so why is there not more global criticism of israel's actions at the un and in the security council the u.s. takes israel's side and under the trumpet ministration their support has been unwavering even when israel killed more than 70 people in one day at the gaza fence the former us ambassador on the day that doesn't was shot through the fence with sniper rifles they were no danger at all most of them i mean they were shot including a number of children the u.s. ambassador said there is acting with restraint and if that is restraint i would hate to see them you know under strain mode. u.n. officials are normally very measured with the words they use particularly on this issue one that's so politically charged the real views of a top official now no longer in his post a rare and powerful james zira of the united nations.
