hero world needs. washed. turkey threatens to take action against forces of libyan warlord khalifa haftar following their attacks on tripoli. i'm above us and this is all to see a live from doha also coming up refusing to back down protesters in iraq keep up their demands for change just days after a new leader is sworn in. confusion i'm criticisms around the ukase new stay alert slow going to head of a national address by

a bogus johnson on the coronavirus response. it starts to normalize what it looks like to run as a mom with small children. juggling parenthood and politics the efforts in the us to get more mothers on the ballots. turkey says attacks on libya's only functioning airport and diplomatic missions in which civilians have been killed amount to war crimes and it's warning it's going to take action against forces loyal to warlord khalifa haftar if they continue turkey supports libya's un recognized government in tripoli which has now launched a counter offensive following saturday's attack planes were damaged fuel tanks set alight us forces also struck nearby residential areas killing at least 5 civilians but for the government says more than

a dozen people have been killed over the last 2 days and other one heads joining us live from tripoli how significant is this warning that's coming from turkey not. will rob it seems that the key is again reiterating the legitimacy it has with the government of national accord and that's also the legal standing according to turkey that is it has based its relation with the government of national called on it namely the military and security agreement signed with the government of national border between turkey and the government of national court in november last year and by virtue of that agreement turkey says that it has been supporting the government of national all with advance at work and also work with the drones as you know rob that turkey is now threatening

that if have to his forces attacks continue targeting get its interests in libya then have to individuals or elements will be a legitimate target for turkey this comes after thursday's attacks as you know rob that targeted the embassy and to the police city center and killed 3 people in the vicinity of the. embassy in the city center now turkey also reiterated that it has it has been supporting its friendly and brothers in in libya and it said that it will continue according to this statement it will continue supporting the government of national called because it is deliberate government that's out of presenting libya and is it could not used by the international community as you know rob that the turkish intervention with the

with the government of national called has changed the battle process on the ground dramatically it has. shifted the balance of power in favor of the government of national court especially after the drones were introduced to their battles and have been targeting have that as full salute cations in many areas we know that there are russian forces for months by believed is known as the what wagner forces from russia which have been working on the side of khalifa haftar if turkey decides to ramp up its involvement in this against hostiles forces do you think that there's a chance we're going to see direct confrontation between turkish forces and forces from russia. well this remains to be seen because as you know that to has interests with russia elsewhere in

syria and elsewhere as you know but turkey turkey is again sticking to the fact that it's dealing with a legitimate government and meanwhile it's blaming the international community for what it calls its in activity all facing the world crimes committed by have to force against civilians and also it's blaming the contrie is backing have to us forces including get russia as you know that russian mercenaries from the bag no group they have been fighting along with have for us forces against the government forces in fact thanks to the russian messines have those forces have taken control of our strategic military camp in southern tripoli mork military camp but meanwhile the government of national court says that. half there's half that does not have

the legitimacy to have military cooperation with other countries but eat the government has because it's a legitimate government recognized by the international community and by the way from there and here the more committee camp that's run by the russian mercenaries half of the forces have been. shelling residential areas inside the capital tripoli were very very much in the. in iraq with anti-government protesters back on the streets of the capital the new prime minister has made good on his pledge to free people detained during previous demonstrations it's one of most of all called moves 1st decisions after his inauguration last week iraq's supreme judicial council has ordered cords to release the demonstrators. bhakti was forced from office by months of often violent antigovernment demonstrations the protesters are calling for better living

conditions and an overhaul of the political system a correspondent some of the 14 is in baghdad with the latest reaction to the release of prisoners. on the one hand there has been some positive response to his decision to release the prisoners and we understand that people are indeed being released from prison as we speak but the people in tahrir square their demands go much further than that the one thing they make change and they say that that's something that the me is unable to deliver and given the fact that the same political parties remain in control of the parliament they're just same political parties that put him in power so to say because they had to vote through parliament so would people into her square are saying is that these are the same powers that are responsible for all of the problems that the nation is facing including unemployment the lack of services corruption and therefore they don't have a lot of trust in them himself as a person to be able to deliver change to what they really want is

a complete overhaul of the political system they want to be able to elect the head of state directly not to be chosen through parliament so although the in the in from yesterday from causing me were quite significant and really you could see that he was really making an effort to try she enjoys a rift between his new government and the protesters many people on the street see them as just very small concessions you know one example was that you know i asked the demonstrators what they think about the release of the prisoners and they said well on the one hand that's good but look over there we still have security forces who are using excessive force is excessive force against. meaningless and vague that's what critics are calling the u.k. government's new coronavirus slogan which will be formally unveiled by prime minister abbas johnson in a national address in about 2 hours instead of telling people to stay home to save lives that now advise is for people to stay alert but the governments of scotland

wales and northern ireland have rejected the change they say they were not consulted and will continue to tell people to stay at home we mustn't scorned our progress by easing up too soon or by sending mixed messages that result in people thinking that it's ok to ease up no let me be very blunt about the consequences if we were to do that people will die unnecessarily and instead of being able to listen restrictions hopefully in the near future we will be faced in state with having to take to the we must not take that risk so for that reason my basic message for scotland remains the same as it has been please stay at home. in london he says we already have some idea of what the government's proposed plan will look like. it was announced 3 days ago that boris johnson is going to be making this speech at 7 pm local time here this evening and that's meant that the

measure is expected to be contained within if you can even drip fed through the media briefings and various other things so we know for example that the welsh assembly has decided that it will allow exercise to take place more than one a day scotland nicholas sturgeon has she's fallen in line with that so we probably expect boris johnson to follow suit with that another expected measure that we're looking for is the announcement that was big headline news on saturday which is that airline passengers arriving into the u.k. could be expected in fact could be demanded to self isolate for 14 days after arrival that's been widely previewed as well will that be actually formally in the announcement but today's headlines ahead of the speech this evening have been all about 2 things 1st of all this this change of messaging moving away from the stay at home that clear distinct message to a kind of more ambivalent stay alert message which is causing questions to be asked

about the wisdom of that change on the one other thing that we are being told could be new is the idea of a coronavirus alert system a kind of ranking system of wants of 5 perhaps based on local regional geographical areas depending on the level of infection in those areas and that in itself raises questions about potentially discrepancies between different regions of the u.k. as far as the progression of the virus in those particular areas. police in hong kong have broken up protests in several major shopping centers despite social distancing controls hong kong is seeing a revival of anti-government demonstrations there were pollen reports. it's the 1st weekend since hong kong strict social distancing rules were easy many shops and restaurants opened expecting celebrations for mother's day instead there were scenes like this in several shopping malls across the city who got out of the protesters would appear in different parts of the mall then disperse

a since there was word that police were on their way to visit some of them on this day is a tradition is the name so i find it really annoying ana and i have no idea why the police are so i guess the. protesters gathered spontaneously to chant slogans and sing and in line with the day's theme calling for independence for hong kong the chance for independence are likely to provoke beijing and the hong kong government and the protesters say had taken advantage of the current virus outbreak to crack down on the city's democracy movement and for it in the midst of the coronavirus the government has imposed restrictions on gathering and turn it into a crackdown on freedom of assembly not only for the human rights of citizens but also for religious activities i think this is a gross violation of human rights. hong kong has not had any new local infection of covert 19 for nearly 3 weeks on friday its government eased social distancing

restrictions increasing the number of people out to gather from 4 to 800 to one month we have to spread in groups and flow as it moves the police go break us down we can only go guerrilla star anyone flouting the rules could be immediately find $250.00 a large sum for many of the young protesters this is one of hong kong's main tourist and comers. so areas it's hard to tell who is a protester or rather they're simply here to shop the past police could identify protesters because they wore masks to remain anonymous but now almost everyone in the city is wearing a face covering as advised by the government to help stop the spread of coronavirus . most of the crowds on sunday were part off or supported the pro-democracy protests last year which would often lead to violent confrontations between police and demonstrators the karuna virus pandemic has subdued many

activities including the anti-government protests but it seems to have done little to diminish the anger of the protesters who see the government as taking advantage of the situation to further erode hong kong's freedoms and many here are calling this the start of protest season if you go palin are jazeera hong kong. still ahead in al-jazeera a warning to south korea as it strives to be the undisputed number one in the global fight against covert 19 plus in deep waters brazil's president goes jet ski as cover 19 deaths climb in the hardest hit country in latin america. some nice warm sunshine eventually across areas of japan the system that brought the recent rain is continuing to carry away to the northeast maybe

there watching it is here a reminder of our top stories this hour the fighting is intensifying in libya after forces loyal to warlord colorful have to attack the capital's only functioning airport turkey says it amounts to war crime tripoli's un recognized governments launched a counter offensive. prime minister boris johnson is expected to outline plans over how the locked out and there will be eased the government has already changed its coronavirus slogan from stay home to stay alert. iraq's new prime minister has ordered the release of people detained in the country's protest movement it comes as an anti-government demonstration in iraq's capital intensifying. it's being reported that iran says it's ready to conduct a prisoner exchange with the u.s. without any preconditions government spokesman on

a debate who was quoted in local media saying techron has expressed willingness to exchange all prisoners but has not heard back from the u.s. both countries have called for the release of prisoners because of the covert 19 outbreak let's take a look at some of the people being held in both countries there are at least 4 americans detained in iran sami a good number as he and his father back have been in prison the longest for years on espionage charges and in the us there are dozens of iranians being held for violating u.s. sanctions and tech crunch iran is specifically seeking the release of serious askari by 59 year old evelyn ian scientist who tested positive for covert 1000 in federal prison last week the last time a prisoner swap took place was in december in a display of rare cooperation freed an american graduate student in exchange for an iranian scientist former u.s. diplomat tell of a man love it says such an agreement between washington and tehran seems likely as

well as the possibility of a change in relations. there do seem to be more and more indications that both the united states and the islamic republic of iran are getting close to what may be called a prisoner swap there are more and more comments from officials both sides about this american navy veteran who's a medical further out in iran and this iranian professor here who is still in prison but has been acquitted of all charges in my assessment of in 1000 pandemic is having influence on both sides particularly the iranian professor here in the united states he has been infected from what we understand with the coronavirus and he's still in prison there is no mechanism or no mechanism has been made for him to have medical furlough like the american who is in iran and so he's really in a dire situation here in the united states he's been acquitted there's no reason the united states needs to hold him and similarly for the american in iran he's

a medical for a low there's no reason at this point for the iranians to continue to hold someone who they have they've released on medical furlough so the code 1000 pandemic to me is the most important thing that could be happening here but i will say there are more and more indications here in washington that are people speculating that maybe there is some warming in the relationship. so if korea's president says there's no reason to panic after a new corona virus outbreak in seoul linked to nightclubs were very and praised his country's efforts to contain the them ik but warned of a 2nd wave of infections later this year robert bride reports from seoul. south korea's response to the corona virus has been widely held up as an example to other countries at one time it faced the 2nd worst outbreak in the world after china but quickly brought it under control by encouraging people and companies to voluntarily
