11:15 am
the watching i'm just there a reminder of top stories this hour the u.s. city of minneapolis is promising to dismantle and rebuild its police department it's a response to the death in custody on george floyd which sparked protests in the u.s. and around the world. thousands of demonstrators in brazil have accused president john abell sonata of downplaying the cause of 19 pandemic the government has stopped publishing a running total of coronavirus deaths and infections. iranian doctor is back home of to being swapped for a u.s. navy veteran held by iran on just to haiti had been charged with attempting to export a filter to iran that breached u.s. regulations. a prime minister over libya is a un recognized government. to meet with the head to of the to brooked based parliament and it moscow let's go live now to. head in tripoli most of this is
11:16 am
a significant development is it not. well yes indeed it is but also it's so controversial so controversial because so far this meeting get to happen today is kept secret until this moment we do not know for certain who decided to keep it secret but we know that the officials here in the capital of tripoli they they try to keep it a low profile because we know that many allies local allies of the government here in tripoli are against that meeting do not accept that meeting with a pro or have taught a speaker of the eastern the parliament a given the fact that the east of apartment has has supported and backed the war on the capital tripoli and meanwhile this is as this is the 1st time that has the 2
11:17 am
rival officials. will meet but meanwhile also the allies the local allies in the west of libya who are with a government of national accord blame the government for. dealing with russia to begin with the accuse russia of sending a mercenary is that have been fighting alongside have that as forces in southern typically and also they blamed the russian mercenaries for hundreds of civilian death is in tripoli that were killed by either a random rockets or by a stray bullet in southern turkey specially in neighborhoods close to the front lines. or inside our neighborhoods so there is some kind of rejection in the west of the camp led by the government of national accord to any
11:18 am
deal proposed by russia just because russia is accused of backing the war on the capital tripoli and also say. ending get weapons including fighter jets to the world for have to as you know that according to the related states of defense department the pentagon that stated a week ago that 14 russian fighter jets living so hoary and mig would it center from russia to the world really for have to. be as in syria and they would be used in a job for our military bases that have a stronghold in the center of the libya so i think that is why this meeting is being kept secret until this moment is that many people in the west of libya would would be angry at the prime minister face of the nowhere that he is
11:19 am
striking any deal or at least meeting with the speaker of the poor have to the parliament who is accused of backing and supporting the war on the capital of tripoli ok i would give us that view is some context if you can of course this comes in the background of the gene a making significant gains against what our forces on the ground and there's been as you mention this rejection of the proposed ceasefire by gene as well. well the situation on the ground is going good in pearling with the political storm in the conflict but meanwhile the government forces near the city of sirte it say that the art of advancing the art of moving towards the city of so that despite the fact that there has been derailed by. forces airstrikes that killed
11:20 am
dozens of pro-government forces over the past few days near the city of sit it they also reject the forces on the ground the reject the cease fire proposal that was offered by egypt 2 days ago they say that they cannot accept any proposal from egypt given the fact that egypt is a major supporter of the warlord khalifa haftar and in fact egypt is accused of sending weapons and fighters to the warlords i have to. thank you for that update there there is there are way ahead. a 5 story apartment building has collapsed in pakistan killing at least one person and injuring several others soldiers were deployed to help rescuers in the port city of karate local media say the building had been declared dangerous by the government building safety rules are often ignored in pakistan and there have been several

11:22 am
at an alarming rate richard also putting a huge burden on the country's outstretch medical facilities and not to mention the fact that there are dead is an economic cost that grell according to initial estimates by the government up to $2.00 trillion repeat of last days and also alarming nude about unemployment that could go up to their credit 1000000 marks and a country that has about 60 to 65000000 workforce and did other consequences from covert 19 but the important thing the prime minister of pakistan saying that it was an extremely difficult start to go forward for lock down because that border guard the country ball and perhaps also create a lawyer in order to h. and so the country going ahead with trying to normalize also a message from the prime minister that the people will now have to learn to live with go with 90 india is taking another big step and on thing up its economy
