3:21 am
asset its oil producing region in the east which is under hussars control. libya which has africa's richest proven crude reserves and relies on oil exports for nearly all its state revenue plunged into violence with the toppling and killing of longtime leader while mortgage deathy in 2011. the country's oil fields pipelines and terminals have frequently been damaged in fighting putting libya on the path to economic government preserving libyan oil facilities and strong access to the national oil corporation how after is backed by the u.a.e. egypt and russia among others more than a year after he launched his unsuccessful campaign to take control of tripoli from the internationally recognized government his backers are now seeking to keep after involved through diplomacy but now embolden with turkish support and gaining territory rapidly government forces and officials say they will not negotiate with
3:22 am
have to nor accept the ceasefire. we will enter a shot this isn't the battle for cities like shipping assert it is a fight for libya for freedom and democracy we will continue east until we liberate all of libya from the war criminal huffed our european leaders have called for a cease fire with the german ambassador visit in half there in eastern libya on wednesday and then tripoli the day after tomorrow. unfortunately the international community stood by while have to our so to tripoli and killed civilians the feeling among libyans is they no longer trust the international community countries who recognize the g.n.a.t. but support have to like egypt can't be trusted. the u.n. support mission in libya has said that the d.n.a. and half there's military delegations are now fully engaged in the 3rd round of talks. but with both sides very strict conditions it is unlikely we will see
3:23 am
a ceasefire in libya anytime soon now traina al-jazeera misrata. now a statue of britain's wartime prime minister winston churchill is just one to have been boarded up ahead of anti-racism protests expected in london this weekend the country's prime minister says the marches have been hijacked by extremists among humans were attacked but as an idiom baba reports it's opened up a debate about who still deserves to be remembered and how. a reflection of a wider debate raging in britain like lives matter support is arguing with opponents by the statue of winston churchill opposite the u.k. parliament it was boarded up because of fears it could be targeted by protesters now the prime minister's called the need to protect monuments observed and insisted people should not be protesting what's happened with these these demonstrations is that a tiny minority or a growing minority unfortunately have hijacked. and they are using them as
3:24 am
a pretext to attack the police to to cause violence and to cause damage to public property so my unforeseen my message to everybody is that for all sorts of reasons why they should not go to these demonstrations. last weekend's demonstrators in the city of bristol pull down a statue of 17th century slave it would cost him it's now been retrieved from the river will be housed in a museum some commentators have suggested britain should leave such monuments up as a reminder of the evils of the past the local man disagrees statue said it was in a not themselves do not do the job of teaching assistant you know if you were to try and base your historical knowledge of person on the statue of coast and you were using that to write in a paper i'd give you an 8 because it tells you he was a wise and to a son of the city but that's not the full story is and at the latest anti racism protest in central london there was little sympathy for boris johnson strongs i'm
3:25 am
not sort of for ripping going around and ripping down structures but i think i mean people need to also solve releases so as questions about who we stuck what we hold up a standard bearer i mean some parts and you people in munich might want to have a not just of me whatever people do is wish someone complain about how we're trying to get a message across so we pay taxes and i feel like that's one of the best face that mr president knows to listen to us to 70 things other people are just ignoring yeah these protests have given people a chance to a grievances about perceived police brutality and discrimination in britain right now but they've also opened up a debate about how the country remembers its past and who it chooses to celebrate the protesters say it's about opening up difficult discussions not just closing down symbols of oppression. al-jazeera london. well since the death of george floyd
3:26 am
at the hands of police in the us there have been growing calls in several cities to remove monuments and statues of leaders who carried out policies viewed as racist just this weekend boston massachusetts the statue of christopher columbus was beheaded before it was finally removed on wednesday well i spoke to aaron thompson who is an art historian lawyer and professor at the john jay college of criminal justice at the city university of new york she says there are many ways to commemorate a painful history. and there have been very innovative proposals to add plaques other language to statues to modify them but destruction is one option on its full range of issues and you have to remember that keeping a statue there is not. and neutral point of view because it costs money to maintain these statues even people saying put them in a new c.m. that cost a whole lot of money to preserve and store and display it statue so i think the money could be spent better elsewhere in many cases for one there are very
3:27 am
significant african-american and native american sites in the u.s. that are crumbling for a lack of historical preservation funding so start there you can't say that destruction is always the option and you can't say that it's never the option one reason we're seeing so many more or less violent acts of toppling of statues is that there have been peaceful protests an attempt to use democratic means to remove them for years for a decade sometimes even before the statute was finished so you have to let people hope that they have a peaceful chance of making their voices heard. ethiopia's me has warned opponents of the country's controversial mega dam on the nile river that it will strongly defend itself over the project egypt is worried a rapid felling of the ground renee's on stand will take up too much of the water its people need to survive the comments come amid renewed talks among ethiopian egyptian and city's politicians after months of deadlock while the u.k.'s economy

3:29 am
mosquito and if we see a yellow color it means that the patient has developed antibodies against the protein in this alone. only existing vaccines inject a small dose of the pathogen like malaria is an antidote but this type of vaccine is unique enough to uses the carrier in this case the miskito to train our immune system to recognize proteins in the mosquito saliva and then respond by weakening or even preventing the infection but mostly talk by 'd each then only inject the war of the viruses and other pathogen but also they inject certain level herbs and those routinely left the bacteria and viruses also on into the human body so this study has been working on. finding those groupings that can facilitate the wider spread and using that one as a vaccine and in this trial it appears that it induces strong immune response has been very little side effect which is certainly encouraging hundreds of thousands
3:30 am
of people die every year for mosquito borne diseases and more than half the world's population lives in areas where one type of species transmits multiple diseases including sica and. meaning only one type of vaccination would be needed to protect us from mosquitoes one of the most dangerous insects in the world and scientists believe that they are getting closer to finding a way to prevent the next epidemic saddle height at al-jazeera. and again this is al jazeera and these are the headlines brazil now has the 2nd highest number of covert 19 deaths worldwide the health ministry reported more than 905 tell us he is on friday pressing that has let nearly 42000 and also has the most number of infections off to the u.s. . he has more from bogota. there's also certainty that the
3:31 am
real number might be even higher given the fact that there has been more than 10000 deaths in the last few weeks in brazil that have not been tested for dakota 19 so a very dramatic situation especially in areas that are hotspots in big cities with a very population like there's no cell paolo and india has recorded the biggest single day jump in coronavirus cases with nearly 11000 infections in just 24 hours the rise in infections comes as the government eases its nationwide lockdown the governor of the us state of new york has signed a package of sweeping police reform bills and response to the nationwide protests surrounding the death of a black man during his arrest in minneapolis last month andrew cuomo says the new
