let's go now to mike trainer he is in a grain about 140 kilometers west of the set of course was a focused are is the focus of the next g. and a offensive what's the latest on the ground. well ken i've been speaking to miller it military leaders here on the ground and they've told me that yesterday they've made significant gains they've entered the western gates of sirte now that's known as an area the checkpoint 30 which is 30 kilometers west of sirte they have entered and are in control of this area they have also entered one of the el jefe which is south of sirte this is a valley a valley of john of which is a natural a natural barrier of sorts so this is a lead into g.n.a.t. that's the internationally recognized government of national court control of sirte we've we can see that the red or the rhetoric among g.n.a.t.
12:07 pm

12:08 pm
when to move forward where to position so it is very likely that we will see a g.n.a.t. control soon when when that is that really depends on what kind of resistance is met. inside sirte of from what our sources tell us many many forces belonging to the house door loyal to believe have to have withdrawn to eastern libya but they're there there is a force insert that remains and whether or not they they will they will continue the battle we will have to find out thanks to that across the mountains on the ground them. city council is in minneapolis a promising to dismantle and rebuild the police department as a response to the death and custody of george floyd which sparked protests in the u.s. and around the world had a call had reports. a movement that shows no signs of abating across the united states another day of massive crowds demanding police reform and it appears in some
