legacy of slieve ownership you don't like my family status and wealth has benefited from your choice to slave people and america's debt to the black people today some over some scar we even screwed speak up because it's a problem. al-jazeera correspondent a moral debt. just days after libya's u.n. recognized government significant new gangs the head of the rival administration is at war with arrives in moscow for talks. and convert all this it is just there a lot from dalhart also coming up to answer as we know it. the minneapolis council votes to disband the u.s. city's police department to george boyd's killing triggered mass demonstrations.
2:01 pm
those protests are highlighting one of the country's darkest phases confederate monuments or attacks. across the virus reaches another milestone 7000000 confirmed cases worldwide a record surge isn't stopping india from reopening. to begin with libya had a surprise move from one of the leaders of its warring administrations the speaker of the parliament based in to broken the east has arrived in moscow for talks he was seen in egypt at the weekend where his ally warlord holly 5 announced a cease fire which was rejected by the un recognized government in tripoli. meanwhile on the ground in libya forces continue to lose ground to the government has been pushing ahead towards the strategic city of sirte traina has more from of ukraine about 140 kilometers west upset. i've been speaking to miller
2:02 pm
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 al jazeera which is south of sirte this is a valley a valley of jarrah which is a natural a natural barrier of sorts so this is a lead into g. and a 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. politicians among among the military officials here has has changed and that's because they are now in a position of strength they feel we've seen drastic drastic changes since the since the support of turkey to the g.n.a.t.
2:03 pm
several cities the stronghold of of to huna belong to warlords leave or have to was taken and so there's there's a significant change and position for the g.n.a.t. now there are in in the southern. southern suburbs of sirte and waddle gyrus and these are forces that know suit very well they've they've they've they fought in syria in 2011 against the late wall morgan deathy they also fought in liberating for what they say liberating sirte from dust that's i saw in 2016. where this took more closely at hand how he fits into the libya conflict as we mentioned he is the speak air of the administration and to quit randall's the internationally recognized government in tripoli and his ally to want all kind of hoffa also attended saturday's talks in cairo of half hour and egypt's president
2:04 pm
but there were major differences. between 30 and half done when the warlord declared himself the song of libya. more recently again s.l.r. has been quoted as saying russia wants to go to resume with the tripoli government because it no longer sees a positive outcome to hostiles offensive after has of course being trying to take over tripoli for more than a year and speak now tomorrow the head who is in tripoli for us mahmoud what is doing. welcome it has not been officially. it has not been officially announced yet neither the presence of idealogues saleh and mosque or nor home he's going to meet to nor what he's going to come up with in moscow but we have been noticing the recently that russian art wants to. push forward towards peaceful. solution
2:05 pm
to the libyan crisis but meanwhile there is also. because all saw one idea that russia might want to reconsider its local allies in libya especially after i have to. literally failed to achieve their goal all in their libya by taken control of the worst of the country as you know that has been recently so controversial. among his regional international allies especially after his military campaign to seize the capital tripoli failed so again the fact that aguilar is being invited to moscow and being gear. holding talks with the russian mediators. we have been also hearing that there are international and regional allies of how to might be considered to replace have to with. have that
2:06 pm
cannot be accepted in any peace talks by the western camp in libya led by the internationally recognized government but the fact that russia itself has been accused of supplying you have to do was fighter jets and mysteries also puts a question mark that could derail the peace efforts put forward by russia meanwhile as you know kim that egypt has recently offered a peace. a cease fire deal but it has been rejected by the government of national chord given the fact that egypt is a major supporter of have to in fact has been supporting him with weapons and fighters the same also goes with the. whether or not the government of national called could convince its local allies to accept any potential peace talks with the
2:07 pm
rival administration this remains to be seen thanks for that update their headline for us in tripoli. with some handy is editor in chief of the international interest that's a risk consultancy he says russia is trying to push for political settlement that includes all warring factions. i think russia is trying to lessen from have to power but not entirely get rid of him i think that the proof of that is that in cairo it was both regular salary and have what i think russia is doing russia wants talks russia wants negotiations but knows it is untenable for several hours to sit with half that again so russia is trying to say to sort of look come and sit with regular silence at least and i promise to rein in half that this doesn't necessarily mean that hastert is out of the picture but it means that he's no longer the face russia is trying to make sure that he is no longer the face that sits with and i think the show is actually a great sensitivity. of tripoli and also an appreciation of that sensitivity from
2:08 pm
russia yesterday said. is believed to have a sect his economy minister in a sign that the d.n.a. are starting to clash with one another would disagree with one another we heard the reports that is in moscow but it hasn't been officially announced because i was worried about the backlash that might come about from his supporters from the g.n.a.t. forces but it appears that russia is trying to bring about some mediation turkey is trying to help this mediation along and some other issues in an awkward position whereby if he seemed to be excited about these talks he would lose domestically but if he doesn't go to these talks then he risks jeopardizing the turkish support and indeed the his general leadership of the g.n.a.t. . city council as a minneapolis a promising to dismantle and rebuild the police department it's a response to the death in custody of george floyd which sparked protests in the u.s.
2:09 pm
and around the world i call him reports. a movement that shows no signs of abating across the united states another day of massive crowds demand in police reform and it appears in some places getting what they want in minneapolis where the killing of george bush and unarmed african-american sparked the protests the city council have pledged to disband the poor. lease department and try to figure out a new form of policing our commitment is to end our city's toxic relationship with the video lists of police departments to police things as we don't wait and wait for you get them back out like. a new york city's mayor says he's focusing on the funding we will be moving funding from the n.y.p.d. to youth initiatives and social services he didn't say how much but it is the latest sign that the demand to defund the police is gaining traction at least for democratic leaders the trump administration is defending the heavy police presence
2:10 pm
and its handling of mostly peaceful protests are your and there doesn't need to be widespread change i don't think you need to reduce the munity to to go a step backwards because that would result certainly in police pulling back i do not think that we have a systemic racism problem with law enforcement officers across this country do i knowledge that there are some law enforcement officers that abuse their job yes and again we need to hold those accountable us president donald trump is mocking the idea on twitter where he also announced the national guard troops he sent into washington d.c. will be returning home something the d.c. mayor has been calling for and the president is facing more criticism from leading republicans with reports former president george bush won't vote for him and neither will mitt romney who took part in the protests we did a voice against racism we did many voices against racism and again we're telling
2:11 pm
you do they stand up and say the black lives matter and former top military leaders are also openly criticizing the president this is a moment as i said of moral clarity i think is very clear in the future whether we want to unify the country in a political division and in the political division that has existed now for years. or whether we want to continue to divide the country that is the choice that the american people have in front of them in the very near future on the streets calls for change with many wondering if it will result in big changes in the november election. peaceful marches have continued lation to the national center troops of national guard have left the city as they have elsewhere after violence and looting subsided over the weekend l.a. mayor eric garcetti also said he would seek to move millions of dollars from the police budget to social services patel is from the brennan center for justice which
2:12 pm
advocates for legal reform she says police funding is spent toward little accountability. police budget have by and large been sacrosanct in many american cities right so not only are the en route the least nigel's increasing and time is where crime is going down that you also have a great deal of a pass to the iraqis that is right i mean if you ever try to look at a police department i do have really only looked at the one in new york mostly you know it's really hard to tell where the money's going and frankly whether my son promise is because they also get a lot of money from central government so there's there's a lot of issues around you know police that jason factor to continue to rise at a time when as you said crime is going down at a time now where you know many look at how these are they saying you know huge budget deficits and the way to prove it 90 so all of these things i think is the

2:23 pm
friday the police officer who was responsible responsible for shooting him has been arrested and charged with murder now this is very rare in kenya but it's the kind of justice that the rights groups say is lacking it isn't happening enough because ultimately these killings they say keep going and it's still happening and that's what they say that needs to be stopped welcome that live from nairobi thank you. and the land is a celebration the government announcing the country is free of coronavirus all restrictions of english test except stringent border controls no new cases have been reported for almost 3 weeks 22 kiwis died in just over 1500 cases were reported during the outbreak. as it spread rapidly around the world we all saw people losing their loved ones and their livelihoods at a rate that was never acceptable to us. and so here in new zealand we.

2:25 pm
a very loud critical voices who suggest the simply isn't going to work not because it's unmanageable or hard to enforce which arguably it is but because it won't fulfill the government's stated aim of trying to limit transmission of the virus and prevent a 2nd wave coming in from abroad why because of the blanket nature of this quarantine policy being applied to all countries across the board including and frankly there are a lot of them now countries with lower infection rates than the u.k. the government says it's relying on the science that will the science for that contention begins to look doubtful when scientists are heard to say that the point of a policy like this is to target specifically and efficiently countries with higher infection rates than the u.k. as indeed other countries have done with some effect and have done so far earlier in their epidemics and the other line of criticism of course is that this is all happening far too late. saying a u.k.
