for hoyle in gas we live here we make the rules and people and our investigates exposes and question means they use and abuse of power around the. announcer 0. russian retreat foreign fighters battling libya's government pulled back from the front lines in tripoli. hello i'm down in jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up accused of bribery fraud and breach of trust benjamin netanyahu becomes israel's 1st sitting prime minister to stand trial. surrounded by scandal and seeking support presumes president remains defiant to u.s. banks travelers from the country. i believe that in every respect he

has acted responsibly and legally and with integrity. u.k. prime minister defends his chief advisor who is under pressure to resign over claims he reached lockdown rules. about the battle for tripoli has taken another turn as russian mercenaries fighting for libyan warlord anything after have retreated from the frontlines after us forces have been trying to capture the capital for 13 months they have suffered a string of defeats in recent weeks fighting against the u.s. backed government which is supported by fighters from turkey. well the mayor of bani walid confirmed the russians left from an air base in the town and 3 military planes. had reports these are the pictures of libyan media

show russian medicine a reason leaving to police frontline they were meant to shift the balance of power on the battlefield in favor of the libyan warlord really for have to but a series of defeats has left a half that are struggling to fulfill his ambition to take the capital from libya's internationally recognized a government. he's lost control of 3 military camps and a debate in the west he used to launch attacks on tripoli and several towns his forces are accused of planting land mines in residential areas putting civilians at risk during the pull our it now your land doesn't ask any are as of yesterday we started combing the liberated area to ensure the safe return of everyone who was displaced we are still closely monitoring the movements of the remnants militias

and mercenaries who are trying to reorganize their fragmented ranks we are fully prepared to crush them we assure our fellow libyans in the captured areas that we will not leave an inch of the libyan soil and will not allow foreign mercenaries to bank in residential areas the league do you any report last month suggested hafter was backed by up to $1200.00 medicine. from russia's wagner's group a private military contractor the u.a.e. which backs haftar is believed to be bankrolling them the kremlin and have to deny they were ever there. very recent military gains of by government forces have been largely possible because of turkey's support it has sent troops to help tripoli against have to his fighters and has been calling for a political solution to the conflict and has refused to do any pressure by the

warlords have to this with retreat on the battlefield seems to suggest that momentum is fast shifting in his 13 month long military campaign more dubbed or hate alleges iraq. when a spokesman for general have task forces has denied that fighters have withdrawn or even retreated and said the fight goes on so let's get the thoughts of imad bardi he's a senior fellow at the atlantic council with a research focus on libya he joins us via skype from toronto imad so have to ask postman has denied this and says look the fight goes on but what do you think is behind these russian mercer's pulling out and why are they doing this now. why they all know is subject to speculation obviously you have to take into account that during the blitz a week turkey has really. created aerial capabilities in libya and significantly.

attacked let's say the weaken the strategic advantage that the russian mercenaries provided namely in. in terms of attacking aerial defense system of their pants or systems that were m. iraq be supplied by russian manufactured systems now it's obvious that there is some form of back door deal between turkey and russia in terms of allowing these mercenaries to back out of tripoli and go towards by annuity then towards the front perhaps out of libya why they did this juncture i am not entirely sure but if they had and would draw in they would have probably gotten killed and i think that would have caused problematic dynamics between russia and turkey with syria in the background obviously to do this this this latest report puts the spotlight back on the wagon the group doesn't it the shadowy russian outfit that provides ministries how involved is the lot and the group in the conflicts in libya and syria which you just mentioned. well in terms of syria relate the dynamics that

wagner group is there has been there for a while but in terms of libya. they capitalized on let's say military strategic disadvantage last year namely in august where turkey got somewhat involved in that mitigated let's say the ground offensive off there but in late august is when the wagner group actually got involved in libya right now with the today the mayor of benny would lead us that the current number of mercenaries that are in beni would lead and that are pulling out of that city in particular number around the 1000 $500.00 which put them around at the number that let's say diplomats and the policymakers off site that them to be in libya most most have said that there are about 2000 yet so so with the russian mercenaries withdrawing how much is this being seen as a further blow to the warlord who have to i mean he suffered a series of recent setbacks on the ground to tripoli government forces has me. yeah

well since late august it's actually the russian mercenaries have been able the ground offensive to not only continue but for those 2 to actually make territorial headway so they gained ground since them since then because of the russians involvement as soon as they pulled out in roughly i would say 8 hours half their lost the territory that he's gained in 8 months that's how much of a strategic military advantage these groups or the russian groups provided and now that doesn't mean that the war has ended but it doesn't mean that in terms of capturing tripoli let's say i don't think that it's realistic to assume that that will be possible if the let's say backers of up there do not significantly escalate against turkey it's also worth noting that before pulling out they significantly let's say put these improved improvised explosive devices around tripoli which points the fact that they do not intend to be the attacking force again because

they'll be let's say affected by their own minds that they plant that right in my body we have to leave it there thank you very much indeed for your thoughts thank you thank you now the u.s. president has announced travel restrictions on brazil to stop the spread of covert 19 brazil struggling to limit the spread of the disease not a president jab elsewhere appears to be too concerned and assad run pity reports. the faience joe you matter took once again to the streets of brasilia to greet his supporters in this regard of isolation measures. we are in brasilia now to join a spontaneous demonstration of the people for democracy for freedom the people who really want to presume to move forward freedom above all else. ignoring growing calls for impeachment and accusations of interfering in police investigations to protect his sons he took office face mask to hug in support of. the weekend anti lock down rallies have become accustomed also known as hardcore

backers even as the number of coronavirus cases in dates has spiraled out of control. brazil is now the 2nd most affected country in the world 2nd only to the us a video of a recent cabinet meeting released by the country's supreme court has shocked many brazilians as balsa natter and his ministers called for the jailing of mayors and governors who imposed lockdowns in the country against the president's will and seemed interested in the surge of the fund them now in another blow to bolster natto his ally u.s. president donald trump announced a ban for travelers from brazil resilience and it's it's really a law right that contrie like a moment and president right will sinatra likes to explain for everyone that he has that kind of special relationship with president sol any kind of

measure made by u.s. government in terms of the trial go bad can be a problem in terms of that narrative well credible tomorrow but specifically with. a lot of time motion in the political debate year and probably president wilson ari's. pain at times off and that he wrote about the koran the virus crisis here. as the number of infections keeps rising health services are increasingly under strain across the country with some doctors asking to take politics out of the response to defend them ik we have to let the people that are supposed to make sense make the right decisions for as to cope with this disease with the spirit he sees i think it should not be a political issue is should not be a government issue i mean just their ministry of health issue but this perfect

storm of a health crisis coupled with an increasingly bitter political fight appears to leave little hope for improvement as the virus keeps hitting with lethal force alison there and. then as well as president nicolas maduro has time to iran for delivering a tanker carrying more than a 1000000 barrels of fuel is the 1st of 5 that iran has sent to venezuela the u.s. had opposed the delivery but did not stop the tank or both iran and venezuela face u.s. sanctions but israel is suffering from a shortage of refined field despite having the world's largest oil reserves. going to free up it has arrived in venezuela precisely yesterday the day that ramadan the holy month of our brothers the muslim people the ship fortune has arrived the 1st of 5 ships that bring jess elaine and supplies to make gasoline in venezuela due to a comprehensive cooperation agreement that we had with the islamic republic of iran

. mahmoud marandi is a professor at the university of tehran he says the u.s. should not dictate trade terms to other countries. americans can't make up their mind on the one 1st they say that the iranians are taking from the venezuelans and now they're saying the venezuelan start taking from the iranians what is important is that these are normal trade ties between 2 sovereign independent countries and the regime in washington is in no position to dictate terms to the international community and iran is not a weak country by countries within the e.u. which will simply bow down to the united states when it makes a match and sending 5 ships was a big mass it wasn't just one or 2 tankers it fuels 5 tankers so the iranians did that both to give support to the venezuelan people out of solidarity with the venezuelan people to prevent them from suffering and also an act of defiance to us

hegemony and also i think the americans understood quite well that the iranians would retaliate. time for a short break here not just iraq when we come back which is very very rare indeed certainly we have a lot to keep. most of all reached dead in. overflowing and overwhelmed hospitals and cemeteries in yemen are unable to cope following a spike in suspected coronavirus cases does. nothing whatever stop was go before a jury because there will be job whatever the web of how the town that had nothing gave everything to stop the coronavirus more than the statements of the. hedda there's some nice weather across much of japan want to show us to come you

1st sitting prime minister to face trial are a force that has more from occupied east jerusalem. this was always going to be an extraordinary moment in israeli politics benjamin netanyahu decided to make it more so clearing his intention to fight not just within the courtroom but outside in public against the whole concept of this prosecution but citizens of israel what's on trial today is the wish to eliminate the will of the people the attempt to topple me and the right wing camp over a decade the lift didn't succeed in doing so in the polls so in recent years they came up with a new patent so says that the police in attorney's office joined together with the lift wing newspapers i call them the just not b.b. bunch they tell of baseless cases and imaginary charges the objective is to depose a strong right wing prime minister and that's to remove the nationalist came from the leadership of the state for many years. in the courtroom itself what could become a defining image of israel's longest serving prime minister in the dock facing

criminal trial just a week after he was sworn in for a 5th term after the cameras were rejected his legal team asked for delays in calling witnesses well they argued about access to evidence the strategy to push the start of the main phase of the trial well into next year outside supporters saying in chanted and amplified the prime minister's message of persecution already in its 1st day of this trial is a window into just how polarized israeli politics is and benjamin netanyahu and his allies making no bones about appealing to supporters like these on the basis that the trial is not a criminal one rather a political coup designed to ousted from office but there are warnings that such a strategy risks further division this was the main anti netanyahu demonstration outside his residence netanyahu is accused of asking for and taking lavish gifts from wealthy friends of offering to hinder one newspaper to get better coverage in another of exchanging hundreds of millions of dollars worth of regulator help to

a telecoms chief again but better coverage on his news site. before caught a glimpse of the. hello world to come for a prime minister on trial. leading his 1st cabinet meeting of the new coalition talking about iran the economy and governing for all his former fierce opponent and now alternate prime minister in a rotating coalition deal benny gantz released a statement saying netanyahu was innocent until proven guilty calling for reconciliation so benjamin netanyahu says this will be his last term in office he will spend a good deal of it fighting not just for his innocence in court but against the very institutions that accused of breaking the law are reported out his ear occupied east jerusalem there's been an alarming a spike in the number of virus related deaths in yemen on friday the u.n. announced the health system there had effectively collapsed as the country's ravaged by war and the pandemic grave diggers in the port city of aden have been working around the clock the international aid group doctors without borders

reported a sharp rise in deaths of infections including among health workers the u.n. envoy to yemen says the health system is ill equipped to protect diagnose and treat people which is very very worrying he said we have. a right most dead already dead and sewerage a market. very very high. and as we are her older render we suppressed days. earlier we were obliged to reach us. because we did not have been. asked to be able to treat a patient so it's very heartbreaking for tomorrow as a non resident scholar at the middle east institute she says aid agencies have done too little too late despite early signs. health sector capacity in yemen is already overstretched and in the beginning of may there were floods that overtook the city

and you know we've seen videos. and trash floating in the city and after that an infestation of most cato's so so we have now color out diphtheria or other diseases on top of the emerging perfect $1000.00 crisis and it has been extremely disappointing that all of these warnings are just coming this week we have not heard anything since april the residents in the south of yemen and all over the country honestly have been following the current 1000 crisis emerging all over the world and rightly concerned because the aid agencies the government agencies have really not done much to protect them from this crisis that you know everybody. did wait too late to take any action on for the 1st time in months pope francis has delivered his sunday blessing before a small crowd in st peter's square those present kept their distance from each

other and many more mosques but francis gave his message online from his library with people watching on large screens the past 3 months he's best and square and tourists also return to venice up to the easing of restrictions many war mosques taking them off briefly to pose for photographs about 30000000 people visit the lagoons city every year it's only been reopened its borders to e.u. states from june 3 the u.k. prime minister barak's johnson has backed his key advisor after it emerged he allegedly breached lockdown restrictions dominic cummings traveled from london to northeast england at the end of march was suffering from corona virus symptoms the barker reports. dominic cummings had little to say to journalists outside his home on sunday it's alleged the prime minister's chief advisor broke a lockdown rules traveling hundreds of kilometers to daraa in northeast england to his parents' estate at the height of restrictions in march and get to meet his he

was and if things weren't awkward enough for cummings cue the arrival of a protester van with a reminder of boyce johnson's address to the nation to stay at home you must stay here coming said the trip was to ensure his 4 year old son was looked after because his wife was suffering from coronavirus symptoms something he would also develop he said he remained in isolation in a separate property on his parents' estate but eyewitnesses claim cummings left locked down to visit in the air by beauty spot and that he made another trip to the northeast after returning to london in april article allegations the prime minister was quick to dismiss an unshared told appearance at the daily downing street coronavirus briefing though there have been many other allegations about what happened when he was in so feisal ation and thereafter some of them probably false i believe that in every respect he has acted responsibly and legally and

with integrity. despite support from the top cummings faces a storm of criticism from figures in the police health service and scientific community some m.p.'s in his own party want him to quit i think his position is untenable it's because of dominic's slogans around the these rules that mums and dads grannies and grandpas across the country will have felt that they have to stay at home if coded go into their families and of course they too care about their children but they knew they had they must stay at home 7 days the 1st person 14 days for the others and now it turns out they could have been driving around the country with symptoms this isn't just a story about war this is about faith in a government that sets rules and regulations demanding self-discipline and sacrifice of people stopping the spread of the virus is meant to be a collective endeavor no exceptions. dominic cummings is one of the most divisive

figures in british politics the mastermind behind the campaign to leave the e.u. who together with boris johnson plotted to revolutionize british politics he's a non elected official but wields more power and influence the many people are comfortable with opposition m.p.'s are now calling for a full inquiry into all of the allegations against cummings at a time when trust in government has rarely been needed more needs barker al-jazeera westminster while towns and cities across the u.k. struggle with the impact of covert $191.00 of the poorest areas has been left to stand on its own jail it made international headlines when the united nations highlighted it as an example of how the british government has failed to deal with poverty law and sleeve visited the community and found its proved more resilient than most. at the best of times j. week is a town on its knees the former seaside resort east of london has barely a shop for a doctor and many people have severe health issues as elsewhere several deaths have

been reported in the local care home with the virus among the population everywhere it sounds like a recipe for disaster dealing with a lockdown is proved difficult enough for communities across the u.k. which have all the things like food and medicines that anybody might ever wants and so you'd assume in a place like this with very limited supplies and things would have been doubly difficult in fact though the story of jay which has turned out to be one of triumph over adversity the 1st step was to find some money a mixture of handouts got them to the equivalent of about $3000.00 which doesn't sound like much so be a couple 1000 pounds we've got some stock in some of the supermarkets and so we decided separate kitchen here yes with that they've already cooked hundreds of meals for the old and the sick who can't leave their homes stored in a donated freezer after there's packed up they did it on a shoestring and it still doesn't have money for several more months the guys here obviously are doing prepackaged meals so they get they get delivered to people's

doors to anyone who's isolating for whatever reason and that means they've got access to hot food. paper out collecting prescriptions for people and yet every just mucks in and gets things done so this is the unique thing about j. week having spent years abandons they've had to learn to deal with crisis after crisis alone but you know we don't do well everywhere else has been forced to change everything j. which believes it can cope with cold feet because it doesn't feel much different to how things usually are people would put their hand in their pocket and gave me food clothing items to get the people that televisions are bad mobility scooters i've heard bugs and bags of shopping like 6 or 7 bags and that is basically how we're overcoming the somewhat we doing as a kid. so brothers not feet would have a stop loss. whatever the weather 18 months ago the united

nations human rights visited j. week and ended up condemning the british government for keeping the population in poverty nothing whatsoever came out of it which was what j. was expected to happen they do a good job of ignoring the fact that they hardly have anything it seems to make the virus that bit less frightening gloriously al-jazeera. india is to reintroduce some domestic flights on monday despite reporting its biggest any increase in confirmed coronavirus cases more than 6700 have been added bringing the total number of infections to over 132000 sick in the last state that was free of the virus has reported its 1st case despite a nationwide lockdown for deeper cinna is a professor of economics that call university she says india needs to improve its health system. what we know of from the evidence on the little notice on the now and the experience all we know of the last 2 months of the lockdown the whole help us all that kind of a must in law is if you what the betting your health system will say is that those

fighting infection and that the something i think we did not do enough of what do you really need to focus on is the anthony not health system to be able to take on the increased caseload but at the same bend in follow up on that best thing going to be seeing and not insulation and so on this is where we are doing very poorly and in the country like india a bit more than thank you both of the well both of the moments that bill and this almost all of the media really cannot afford a nationwide lockdown and solution distancing or physical distance doesn't mean the same thing of all people across classes so what we need to focus on the simple this thing to you seeing isolation and a better health system. and staying in india a 15 year old girl has carried her disabled father 1200 kilometers across india on a bicycle jyoti kemarre road from grogram city that's near new delhi to their home village in the northeastern state of bihar a father was
