huge gaps in testing capacity that the government is now trying to close extrapolate that across the country and the spread of coronavirus it appears. than anyone. libya's un recognized government says is taking control of war mostly for huffed us last major stronghold in the west of the country. i'm right about this and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up signs of recovery donald trump credits himself as the gradual reopening of the u.s. economy adds more than 2000000 new jobs. 3 years since the blockade of qatar by its

neighbors there's still no end in sight for the worst political crisis in the gulf region. all creatures great and small we look at the role biodiversity plays on our planet and the unprecedented threat it's now facing. ok we'll begin this news hour with developments in libya where fighters linked to the government of national accord are celebrating after retaking the city of tal that's the last stronghold a walkway for half dot and western libya about 65 kilometers from the capital tripoli on thursday the u.n. recognize government announced it had regained full control of tripoli hothouse forces still hold a lot of swathes of territory in the east and the south of libya i'll go ahead has the latest from tel who now. as you can see here. the government forces.

a lot of now in control of this is the one i absolutely can get the victory. of happiness forces in the city of. now by losing. the major lost assumed holes in it listed in libya as you know that. swift. of. the swift seizure of the city off the huna is mainly attributed to the turkish military support for the government forces and also there was drool of. russian medicine rees from the bagnall group who have been fighting alongside after forces now. this city the city have to know about 75 kilometers south of the capital tripoli is very strategic very significant from here after his forces had a central command over the past year and from here russian military expects i don't

agree with him arace any gyptian military experts have been supporting have to they run the battles but on the battles in southern tripoli from the sets of central command and the city of to whom from ted who now have that his forces received ministry enforcement reinforcements and also military supplies over the past year. earlier i spoke to some a humvee who's the editor in chief of the online magazine international interest he says the capture of to her means the end of hostilities months long offensive to seize tripoli. has those offensive on no trip really had 2 key strongholds into it was launched from 2 key strongholds the 1st was on what the air base that was taken not too long ago and the 2nd was. after the fall of a lot of those forces knew that they could not hold on to tripoli offensive. began

to withdraw some of their troops and don't want to or the news from taiwan or comes after the g.n.a.t. went to moscow and after the meeting between and again and said i was the president of the g n a where it's believed that turkey and russia are now negotiating a framework of cooperation so i don't know today it's unclear whether it fell because of the military attack by the d.n.a. forces or whether this is part of a negotiated exchange between the russians and between 'd the turks with regards to libya but in terms of its significance it means the end complete end of half that as tripoli offensive and the military solution that has that offered to those powers that wanted a military solution is no longer on the table and we're back to the status quo as it was before the beginning of the tripoli offensive east and west this summer you say that this is significant in terms of the balance of power by to have to i still control significant parts of libya itself so what happens next are we likely to see

some sort of resurgence from helped us forces. i think it's important not to get carried away with i don't know there's a lot of people very happy with that and of have there's a military solution and anybody who wants to negotiate a political solution should celebrate the fact that half that is triply offensive has failed however as you said it's important to put it into context this is the end of half there is bid to completely win in the civil war this isn't what we're seeing today is a return to the status quo the stalemate that we saw for many years between east and between west and this prospect of an military campaign eastwards is very unlikely and the reason i say this is that the biggest dynamic is not necessarily in the military terms the biggest dynamic is the change in power brokers it's no longer eat you it's no longer european countries it's no longer u.a.e. or egypt or these countries it's now russia on the eastern side and turkey on the west and say almost a repeat of syria in the sense that these are the countries that are going to be pushing the parties to decide what the future of libya should look like and that's

why we're hearing talks of partition talks of autonomous regions talks of a status quo whereby the west will be turkey influenced d.n.a. and east will be took influenced russia so in other words what we're seeing today is not a complete halt alternating of the dynamics of the war we're seeing a return to the status quo that was in 2001000 before the start of the tripoli offensive and the road ahead to find some sort of solution to the war is still very long and if anything even more complicated now because of the of the ferocity of the international struggle a resurgent u.s. a very angry france a confused germany and italy that is scrambling russia which is asserting itself turkey which is now the dominant power in other words it looks far more complicated and far more complex than it looked through 2 or 3 years ago. well there's been an unexpected drop in the latest u.s. unemployment figures 2 and a half 1000000 new jobs were created in may as the unemployment rate fell to 13.3

percent that's being credited to the easing of coronavirus restrictions but it was a different story in april and march for more than 21000000 people lost their jobs experts say it could take months for the 13000000 americans still collecting unemployment benefits to find work let's go to our white house correspondent kimberly hawke and kimberly we're expecting president to speak sometime soon i'm assuming the new jumpers no job numbers are likely to be top of his list. absolutely this was not a press conference that was on the schedule it was one that was added after these jobs numbers came out the trump campaign for its part also sending out a statement essentially saying that they had expected that 8 and a half 1000000 jobs would be lost last month not created instead 2 and a half 1000000 created and this is something that the president wants to talk about he wants to get in front of the television cameras so this hastily called press

conference for the rose garden now set to get underway this hour where the u.s. president has already congratulated himself on twitter saying great going president trump the only one that can kill this comeback is sleepy joe biden of course that is the democratic presumptive nominee former vice president joe biden who is running to try and win the white house in november as trump tries to win reelection what's clear at all of this is it's not just about getting americans back to work it's also about winning the next presidential election and that's why you see these campaign statements that's why you see the u.s. president coming out of the rose garden and that's why you also see the u.s. president traveling later to maine where he believed to be visiting a manufacturer that makes swabs for coronavirus testing expect that he will be touting the success and again this great american comeback that he's promising if americans reelect him in november we can really of course we come to sort of the 5 that are still roughly 30000000 americans still getting unemployment benefit this

is going to be a very slow process to get america back on its feet despite what the president might want. the congressional budget office has projected that the american economy is in a slump that could take a decade to recover from you have to remember that these job creation numbers come on the heels of the filing of unemployment benefits just a day earlier and well this was down from the previous week we still have somewhere in the 40000000 mark the number of claims that have been filed this economy was turned off like a light switch but what we know is that it won't turn back on in the same way because we're seeing a phased reopening as a result of coronavirus still there are many government offices that are closed there are many businesses that are shuttered and will never come back and you have to remember that the civil unrest that's gripping this nation is also complicating matters there are some businesses that have also now been looted that may never

come back so well the u.s. president is promising that he can deliver jobs and this is the reason that americans should vote for him he has challenges far greater than even he can do with just the domestic policy changes this is going to be a long recovery most economists predict not the quick one the president says he that he can deliver to american voters campbell a whole get out the why does committee thank you very much well last month more than 25 percent of people in the u.s. aged between 16 and 24 were out of work and a tiny job council reports from washington some fear the effects are going to last a long time. giovanni pam a men know and named joseph spend a quiet afternoon at the dog park normally they're surrounded by other people's dogs in the care of their dog walking business but today it's just own i'm a college student now so i been going to school. full time and then this was

part time and pandemic and everything just went down so we lost everything panameno says the dog walking paid for school tuition and her car now she's asking creditors for more time to pay off debts her friend joseph recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in public health she was counting on the dog walking money to apply to graduate school and now i'm probably not going to be able to go to grad school for a few more years till i kind of raise the money to be able to go young americans work in great numbers in the service industries shuttered by coded the labor department reports more than a quarter of workers age 20 to 24 are now unemployed for those young would be workers the great depression is here i was searching for jobs like. for am a lot of job searching a lot of like e-mails saying i'm so sorry like we just got rid of. a lot of our staff and we can't afford to hire anymore economists agree the impact of this bout

of youth unemployment could be more than just temporary studies show that entering the workforce during an economic downturn can depress earnings for a life time pam a man who's studying hospitality says even completing her degree is difficult now there's no way to complete the in person internships that are required i actually had interviews about 3 right before the pandemic hit and of course that's not happening. the cancellation of many government. in summer work programs for young people has only made matters worse but in washington d.c. the program is moving online the young workers who normally have summer jobs at sports camps and childcare centers will instead work from home offering tutoring and tech support. or

openings. and exist. but during this coronavirus summer the lessons for young workers may be a patience fending off creditors and overcoming disappointment. castro al-jazeera washington still had an al-jazeera relook at why britain's biggest airline is thinking about so mean the government. had overseas no rains are heavy again they really hammering down in some parts of china this is the latest cluster and they tend to pulse north and south and then edge eastwards catching japan in the moment judged cash in the south a key issue maybe she cocoa and sometimes honshu but mainly the focus is china and

we do for another movement slowly know that i think because you'll notice they haven't really been touching will han or shanghai as more been around longer and further west but once forecasters pick up the rain even though it's not until tuesday then strengthening all my wednesday so a few days yet but it's coming the walls south of all this good scattering a big thunderstorm born has been a focus recently and i think it will be in the fall cos it's also true of the southern philippines but most of the rain is going most the most should remain tucked up into the monsoon wins and hitting me in my moment and of course india and so far produced 2 or 3 sightings but in a way you are the latest ones this massacre that came in from just south mumbai is that producing in the next 2 days rain from the poll in the northeast of india the monsoon proper is showing this rain on the coast or carola in calcutta but of course to the north of that there are plenty of increasing showers and strengthening wind.

his 1st trip abroad as u.s. president trumps aim was to have wealthy gulf nations join the u.s. bid to defeat i still to help and the war in syria and contain what the u.s. described as iran's growing influence but that was a short lived hope 4 days later the website of qatar's news agency was hacked and fabricated statements posted attributed to the emir of qatar critical of u.s. policies in the region the washington post subsequently cited u.s. intelligence officials saying the u.a.e. orchestrated the hacking that was just the beginning on june the 5th saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt severed diplomatic ties with qatar and it posed a land sea and air blockade which continues until now the qatari government

strongly denies allegations of supporting extremism qatar also condemned a list of demands from the quartet as a breach of sovereignty. the 13 demands included big relations with iran closing a turkish military base and shutting down the al-jazeera media network there is no appetite at the moment in the international community to to get involved in the gulf crisis the covert 19 condemning it has really consumed pretty much any policy making capacity in western capitals and other international capitals everybody's looking at dealing with that pandemic any insecurities across the middle east and the gulf crisis just one of many crisis in the middle east have been put on the back burner this is the man widely seen by qatar as the architect of the blockade mohammed the crown prince of all the b. and effectively the ruler of the united arab emirates benz date and saudi arabia's

crown prince mohammed bin said man both strongly oppose calls for democratic reforms that have gained momentum in the region since the arab spring uprisings 9 years ago this is the law and we're going to do that too 'd small or too little on the challenges are huge we're talking just not about the. challenges then but i guess that we are talking about. well. you know you can are mix and that mix social environment and all of these as well as of course the heart security all of these going only older region works together as well you know. qatar has ruled out withdrawing from the g.c.c. and says it welcomes talks with its rivals but only when the blockade is lifted.

according to the wall street journal trump has recently called on sandy arabia and the u.a.e. to and their ban on qatari airlines using their space but this was turned down by the saudis and emirate is who believe the wrist riches are their only leverage to extract concessions from qatar the role kate has left lasting ones for qatar raise they hope their gulf liable as well manned the diplomatic rest one day but qatar on the stand delayed quartet remain divided over a wide range of issues that reconciliation may take a long time about al-jazeera doha. violence and democratic republic of congo has forced more than half a 1000000 people to flee their homes in just 9 months the united nations says some of the attacks could amount to crimes against humanity more than 1300 civilians have been killed over almost the same period the key view region is plagued by

attacks by armed groups and retaliation for the congolese army. in the u.k. bragg's it is back on the agenda and things are not going well a week of talks between british and european officials has ended in deadlock and recriminations on both sides and time running out the u.k. insists it will still finally say goodbye with or without a trade deal by the end of the year and whether without a pandemic to deal with on screen reports. it won't pick itself and they have to get a move on because this company produces a 1000000 bags of salad leaves a week for years workers from poland have harvested it but just as this season began old yes space closed and they couldn't come faced with a crisis on its hands the farm did something it has never done before british people to do it i was pretty determined i was going to lose the crop say yeah it was if it was on the cards yeah there's no doubt if you don't get the team in and you don't have the stuff the machinery that we harvest with can operate this team

then is made up almost entirely of british workers like james he's a fit this is trucks up with jim's closed and a wife and baby at home he needed the cash yeah i mean we're outdoors all day long so we're probably in the best environment in h.s. where everybody's you know so in confined spaces with the a.p. and all the rest of it so i. think for myself very lucky to be out here and of of good job. was the idea of a british lamb dami takes to world war 2 and that patriotic spirit underpins this current t.v. ad as well it's part of a campaign called pick for britain and they even recruited royalty for it now i do not doubt that the work will be on glamorous and at times challenging but it is of the utmost importance of the height of this global pandemic you will be making

a vital contribution to the national effort so british workers are helping feed the nation in the middle of the pandemic. supporters of rex will say if we can do this we can do anything disruptions of food supplies has always been one of the strongest arguments against a no deal brecht safe and yet since the pandemic came here there's been panic buying queues for hours to get into a supermarket and yet the food supply chain has remained remarkably resilient quite by accident it seems a pandemic might have given the british government an argument as to why a no deal breck's it might not be so bad off the rolls. but if these people go back to the old jobs next year then who does the job then the u.k. wants are strict numbers of seasonal fruit or vegetable think is to just 10000 when in reality the country needs 7 times that many the estimate is be more than $70000.00 maybe over the whole season over the country so you know we just need to make sure that the range went there so that if we do need people to come in they

can actually withstanding there are very many people on both sides of the english channel who say it would be the heights of madness for the u.k. to push ahead with bret's it's all in the middle of the biggest health care crisis for 100 years the collision of brecht's in the virus promises to make the british government's position even more controversial lawrence lee al jazeera southwestern england the parent company of british airways it says it's considering a legal challenge against the u.k. government's quarantine rules all travelers in the u.k. are required to quarantine for 14 days from monday or face a hefty fine i agee says boris johnson's government did not consult the industry before introducing the rolls saying again to go has more from london. the pandemic has been absolutely catastrophic for the aviation industry but what's really concerning the chief executive officer of i agee the parent company of b.a. is that they simply will not be able to it will affect incredibly their chances of

greater efforts to protect the planet's living systems this year's focus is biodiversity which is under threat like never before the un says we sent events such as wildfires in the amazon and locust infestations across east africa showed just how fragile the world's ecosystems have become their margins of covert 19 has also highlighted the ever decreasing front here between wildlife and humans 75 percent of emerging infectious diseases can jump from animals to humans and $1000000.00 species are under threat of extinction experts are warning action must be taken now to prevent an end of virus of all collapse and biodiversity nick clark reports the wonders of the natural world are an antidote to these troubling times especially the extraordinary life you know rationed like the millions of golden jellyfish here in the marine lakes of pronoun a unique subspecies evolved to harvest energy directly from sunlight all the myriad

diversity of the world's coral reefs with 25 percent of marine species live but here too there's another biomass which 2 wolves everything else combined and it's invisible to the naked eye it's the microbial life of our seas and it's found everywhere from the surface to 4000 meters down. and these unseen microbes include astronomical quantities of viruses that attack marine bacteria all part of the web of life in the sea. in fright every liter of seawater contains more viruses that there are people on the planet 95 percent of all life in the oceans by weight is comprised not of fish or of whales but of microbes. and it is these microbes that create 50 percent of all oxygen on the planet every 2nd breath that we brief. the problem is from

invisible lifeforms to some of the biggest piece on the planet biodiversity is threatened by environmental destruction for the african elephant it's more than just poaching for the ivory trade we're also facing big big challenges when it comes to happen that transformation for larger industries and of course the biggest impact that is less talked about which is the increasing population of africans and therefore the competing nature of land between elephants and people. and it's when the ever decreasing frontier between wildlife and humans is breeched disease like corona virus can jump from animals to people out of the 7800000 species that we have on the planet about 1000000 species are under threat from extinction and that's a lot because the nature is this finely attuned by diversifying its human system where each one plays species plays

a role in the bigger puzzle who would 19 is clearly one of these messages that we need to understand and heed very fast that you can't continue to undermine and encroach on nature and expect nature to be stable it's apparent that we're at a turning point. experts say the era of his cave it must be one where we act to save our environmental heritage will continue to pay a heavy price nick clark al jazeera. this is all just 0 these are the top stories fighters linked to libya's government of national accord are celebrating in tahoe after the government said it's taking control of the last western stronghold of wall khalifa haftar on thursday the un recognized government announced it had to regain full control of the capital

tripoli. let me take you now to the white house i'm president donald trump is speaking let's listen and read every years and it's. a great thing we were very strong we had the greatest economy in the history of our country we had the greatest economy in the history of the world and that strength let us get through this horrible pandemic largely through i think we're doing really well vaccines by the way i had a meeting yesterday on vaccines we're doing incredibly well with that i think you can have some very positive surprises and therapeutics likewise we're doing extremely well cures we're doing well i think those 2 words really blend in with each other but tremendous progress is being made on vaccines in fact we have ready to go in terms of transportation and logistics we have over 2000000 ready to go if it checks out for safety. and it's also the nice part is we have 4 companies i guess you could even say 7 or 8 companies that are doing some similar and some very

different on the vaccine front and some similar and some somewhat different on the therapeutic front so tremendous progress is being made on that and i think even without that i have to say even without that and i don't think you're going to be having to use that in the future that statement even without because i think they're going to have it but we're going to be back and we're opening our country and i hope that the lockdown governors out or why they continue to lock down because if you look at georgia of you look at florida if you look at south carolina if you look at so many different places that have opened up i don't want to name. all of them but the ones that are most energetic about opening they are doing tremendous business and that this is what these numbers are all about and you have to remember one other thing very importantly i think it's extremely important to remember that many of our states are closed or almost closed some of the big ones new york new jersey they'll start starting now to get open i hope and i

hope they also use our national guard call me will be ready for them so fast their heads will spin we did it in minnesota in minneapolis who were incredible that they were ripping that place apart i love the i would love it we had such success there and they were ripping it apart and i called the governor and the national guard when then and one night it was over you don't see the problem in minnesota now at all not even a little bit you take a look at a great city it just a great great city minneapolis and it was. it was under siege like nobody's ever seen where people are running from a police department the great police and they were told to they didn't want to run they were told to it's bad bad governing and i'm not blaming the governor i'm blaming the mare but we want to get all of this finished this is it great.
