rivals prime minister of the tripoli based government of national accord phase assad was with used to sit down with warlords highly for have to leave merkel shuttling back and forth to convince beijing powers to help secure a permanent cease fire and stop the flow of arms into the water on country. 1000000 there in everyone with an agreement including the regional organizations the arab league a u.n. of course the african union that we need a political solution it's become evident in the last few weeks that there is no chance for a military solution which could only increase the suffering of the libyan people the u.n. chief said the new diplomatic gains made so far boost the chances for a new political process and led by the libyans we urge all of you in part is to engage in a leave you no longer need dialogue under the auspices of the united nations paving

the way for a political solution to the graziers despite the consensus among the participants of the conference there remains a huge disagreement for us president manuel micron called for an immediate and to foreign intervention powers has recently expressed concerns over turkey is growing influence but for president of us of. turkey's role is crucial to and violence and prevent hopped from capturing tripoli. 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 party led by hostile if we failed to have a cease fire in place. and if we fail to have an agreement signed we will never see huffed as hostilities coming to an end russia is also expanding its influence in libya but appears to be willing to team up with turkey to ensure the cease fire

holds even though both countries support opposite sides of the conflict. here 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 . the us world has significantly diminished in the oil rich country the e.u. is divided the french support half the while the italians back. there were hopes the conference will bring all the parties that can and the conflict button is 0 was shunned from the peace talks after receiving an invitation last minute morocco which hosted the 2015 peace talks and qatar a key supporter of the d.n.a. were also excluded the bullying conference was essentially about political dialogue

libyan rival groups will meet in geneva in the coming weeks to see if they can form a new government or risk turning their country into a permanent playground for foreign intervention has. bubbled up the wind is in tripoli he says the security situation remains fragile and there is some skepticism that a lasting deal can be reached. so for a child to read this ceasefire but it seems that what's going on in berlin is in another. i mean it's going on on the another pass because there are so many hardliners here on both sides who do not want to stop the fighting in fact the people here many people here believe that the believe in talks are meant to bridge the gap between the country's involvement in libya between the libyan arrivals and now here for example the west of the camp led by the recognize the prime

minister face of raj they say that they come out trust have to and they cannot make peace with have to camp unless he is tried for what they call the war crimes that have been committed by his forces since april the 4th since the launch of the military campaign. there have been so many question marks they have been addressing these the military the military camp on the ground because many military leaders on the ground they say that they come out hand over their weapons and they cannot stop fighting until they have to the forces are pushed out of southern the tripoli meanwhile on the east of the country. military brigade support to get the world for have that and they have taken control of the oil terminal as they say that they cannot accept any foreign intervention in libya they mean the turkish military assistance to the government of national. well the conference in berlin was also

overshadowed by a blockade of libya's major oil fields by khalifa haftar forces which is threatening to choke production in recent months libya has been producing $1200000.00 barrels per day as the country's largest export oil as a financial lifeline for the un recognized government in tripoli after the allies have shut down the full oil pipelines forcing the closure of 2 of the country's largest oil feels the closures will slash libya's output by more than 90 percent to just $72000.00 barrels a day well u.s. secretary of state might pompei or says he's glad to see progress towards peace but wants to see libya's oil pipelines reopened there's still a lot of work to do it's a complicated battlefield but u.s. . president erewhon president putin. chesimard goal of making a sincere commitment to special represents our mayor who's going to be around making this certain memphis and we're going to do this we're going to reduce risk we're going to give back this is why are still some questions about an hour hour and how

effectively can ponder this but i'm optimistic william lawrence is a visiting professor of political science at george washington university's elliott school of international affairs he says more commitment is needed before any real change takes place. is it remains to be seen walk type of international political muscle will go behind the agreement so far we have these we have a kind of consensus on principle in the international community but when it comes to actions on the ground each side just simply you know each of the international players supports one side of the other for the most part and they don't really do much to respect what their side needs to do to respect these international principles since 2011 and since the 2nd civil war in 2015 we've had. libyans fighting over access to resources more than anything else control of airports seaports borders and oil and now it seems that the conflict is

more and more just over oil so that the thing they're fighting over on the day of the berlin peace conference is control of the oil which the international community wants to keep flowing for a number of reasons but i'd have to kind of shooting himself in the foot because he has not been able to sell oil internationally he smuggled a little bit out but up that much and the americans who are quite withdrawn in many ways from many aspects of what's going to libya have proven on 2 occasions they're willing to intervene militarily to stop oil sales by the east so by blocking oil sales and try and disrupt oil sales as a way to gain ground i don't think have to is really playing a winning card here. try this corona virus outbreak is spreading beyond the city of new hardware the disease is believed to have originated 139 cases have been confirmed over the weekend 3 of the bird. the capital beijing one more persons died from the respect treeless take the overall death toll to 3 japan the thailand also

2 to 3000000000 trips across china made all over the country woo han where the disease itself is is said to have a region aged from is a quite a big city there are 11000000 people who live there so definitely the government knows that people are going to be making these trips i think that's clear people are going to continue with the plans of the trying to sort of make sure that the panic doesn't doesn't get out of hand but of course there are concerns about the transparency about the government and how how honest they're being about the level of risk involved and how contagious this disease actually is. i think 30 people injured in a 2nd going to violence in beirut security forces fired tear gas and want to come to the protesters who were throwing rocks at the lebanese parliament frustration is growing but if i don't show the crisis in the salient politicians just hold a due cause but. they reached. the 4th night of violence since tuesday we are outside parliament square but the security forces the anti-riot police have managed

situation in the country so another night of violence in the streets of the lebanese capital you can see behind us here at this field barricades are the riot police who were really engaged in clashes with the protesters who were throwing stones water bottles and firecrackers anything really that they could find. to try to breach the security barrier. the bodies of 11 ukrainians who died when the roles military shot down a passenger plane this month have been flown back to kiev all 176 people on board the ukrainian airlines flight were killed in what rod has just school are described as a disastrous mistake catherine stansell. the solemn occasion at airport 11 coffins arrive with the bodies of the ukrainians who died when their flight was shot down by iran's military shortly after takeoff the
