6:02 pm
ready to carry out any missions what i witnessed is a living proof of our capabilities i can see egypt's army is one of the mightiest armies in the region i am certain if we need a few sacrifices like those being carried out over the past 7 years along our borders with libya you are prepared to carry out any mission with no home soil or if required beyond our border lines than a few hours later gyptian foreign minister pushed for a personal solution saying the government in tripoli had not properly read the ideas about c.c. meanwhile the us has the roadmap to stability involves a cease fire a media restoration of libyan oil production and the launch of a political process a 1000000 trained as in misrata where the reaction from libya's internationally recognized government. several d.n.a. officials have responded to the president at the foot to his c.c.'s remarks on
6:03 pm
saturday the mystery that's the speaker of the high state council has said has denounced as he says remarks calling them a violation to libya's sovereignty of the g.n. a military commander was spoke to a little while ago he said that their forces are adamant and they will answer search now it's important to know that these are forces that know the territory and certain very well in 2011 forces primarily from here in this russia were responsible for entering search and capturing and killing one more gadhafi they did that of course with nato support in 2016 the same forces are the ones who went to sirte and liberated it from high school they did that of course with american support so these are forces that know the territory well they are confident they can enter sirte and they say that they will and you know the commander earlier told me that the d.n.a. or our forces will not stop until we in his words liberate all of libya from have
6:04 pm
to control so what we're seeing is the genie forces of the political officials here are adamant about. getting aletha have to out of the picture they say they won't negotiate with after and they're adamant about retaking or taking control of all of libyan land well sami hamdi is the editor in chief of the international interest magazine and he says the tripoli government wants to make sure it's in a powerful position before negotiating. we have to remember that the dynamics have changed there in libya with turkey's intervention and we have to remember that we'll have to it was strong he didn't want to negotiate and now that the d.n.a. are strong they are the ones that are rejecting that negotiation and the reason being is that turkey wants to maximize the gains for the g.n.a.t. as much as possible they want sit and go for that to make sure the genie is in the most powerful position possible before negotiations egypt's stance is let's do
6:05 pm
talks now wide sit down just for are in the hands of the n.a.r. in the hands of the east and government in order to ensure that the n n a continues to have a say in the potential political future of libya i don't think egypt wants to get involved i think egypt is genuine about negotiations maybe not necessarily for the reasons that d.n.a. want it to be. in favor of negotiations but we have to also remember that egypt has offered to empower get our side look at the expense of have to so the issue here is not just there the issue here is not this idea of who want to negotiate who doesn't want negotiations the idea is that now out of the genome on top now that they are being backed by turkey given that half there was not interested to go she actions when he was on top the g.n.r. saying why should we be interested in it let's get as much as we can until we're forced to stop in other words what applies here is the famous verses of the 2 news in poets one custom should be that they can be no justice or in this case negotiations until the powers are balanced right now the jna are struck and this is
6:06 pm
why we see this. now donald trump has stoked more control they say at his fast reelection rally in months the u.s. president insulted china and told supporters coronavirus testing had turned up too many cases trump went against advice and holding the rally in tulsa oklahoma where and to a smaller crowd than expected health officials warned it could wesson a pandemic that's already killed nearly 120000 americans she had reports and. it has been reported that this rally was intended not just to energize the president's supporters but to lift the spirits of a man who's craved the adulation of his base during the long months of lock down you are so lucky our president as well like was. the trump campaign's hopes of a turnout of 100000 supporters inside and outside this great american comeback rally fell short in fact the president canceled what had been planned as
6:07 pm
a pretty rowdy address at the outdoor overflow area because of a lack of numbers those who filed into the 20000 capacity arena had temperatures checked having waved their right to sue the truck campaign if they contract it covert 19 earlier it had been reported that 6 members of the trump advance team had tested positive for the virus and on saturday told the location of the rally it's a new daily record of infections but the president mocked caution and suggested throughout his speech that protesters have been causing trouble outside and discouraging attendance but there were few protestors and no incidents reported before he spoke your ears thank you we had surgery people out there was the usual blame for the chinese too but here with racially offensive language has more names that the disease. i can. kung fu i don't blame for public health officials for the spread of the virus in the us
6:08 pm
what you do testing to that extent you can find more people are going to find more cases so i said to my people slow the testing down please the administration officials quickly briefed journalists that the president was just joking as for the unprecedented demonstrations banning race and close across the country against police violence and systemic racism the president once again presented them as unchecked anti american anarchy and he presented his general election opponent joe biden as a man with a questionable record on race in failing mental health amid these historic protests if the democrats cave. then the riders will be charge and no one will be safe and no one will have control joe biden who's not the leader of his party joe biden is a helpless puppet of the radical left by far the longest section there was
6:09 pm
a defense of the president's cautious use of a ramp following his speech of the west point military academy the week before that had led to speculation about his health it had no handrail it was like get ice skating this event wasn't simply about amusing the president there are a 1000000 people were reported to have registered for the event giving their phone numbers as well as email and whom addresses this is essential information for ensuring turnout in november election especially as a significant proportion of trunk space owned regular voters these events are crucial for the trump campaign as momentum we will know. that the rally did seem like a public health experiment what would happen if you packed thousands of people into an indoor arena many refusing to wear or take a minimal precautions for several hours of singing cheering i'm shouting in a city experiencing a surge in crude 1000 infection we should know in 2 to 3 weeks she every time see
6:10 pm
elders or. now one story that's gaining traction online could explain why trump's rally was one 3rd empty users on social media said they tried to encourage people to register for the event but then not show up the movement's most active supporters were teenagers who posted videos of them don saying with trump's web site behind them but a 51 year old woman from iowa is credited with inspiring prank i recommend all of those of us that want to see this 1000 seat auditoriums barely filled or completely empty go reserve tickets now and leave them standing there a little misty what do you say to the lamp post that you just saw has more than 700000 likes in about 2000000 views it's thought to have support from fans of the south korean news a wreck a pop also known for backing social justice causes or taunts campaign predicted a 1000000 people could be at the rally and it's blamed protest is for the empty seats where we can now speak to rina shot she is
6:11 pm
a conservative commentator relax tragedy is a political consulting firm and she joins us now on skype from reston in virginia really great to speak to you again i do want to get to that whole tick tock prank in a minute but let's start with trump what we were impressions of him literally. well the 90 minutes of rambling were certainly very confusing for those of us who are looking for perhaps a little bit more substance forget the coronavirus pandemic continues to ravage the united states we have over 120000 of my fellow americans dead from this this fire a sin and it seems that there's an absence of leadership across the board so in essence i was listening last night for something more than what i have typically heard at the president's rallies of course let's make no mistake that the president yesterday continued on with his usual style of grievances and both stay and in that 90 minutes we just didn't hear more about unifying the country really addressing
6:12 pm
the civil unrest that is that in casually to a lot of american cities in recent weeks i think what this was was something which we expected going in something that would feed the president's ego give him new life allow him to attack his opponents and you kept the democrats those who are going further and further to the left well in those 90 minutes no comments as you say about george floyd no comments about bob's a comment about slowing the rate of testing how is that playing out in the u.s. as the number of deaths and cases there rise. well more than just the rally attendants who are to you know address any of the racial tension or street protests that have happened i think that was what with most disappointing is that the president continued with illogical arguments essentially saying that we should test less therefore we will see that we have fewer cases across the the u.s. and that is that is actually absolutely dangerous for any body in a leadership position just to really push that out there to promulgating that
6:13 pm
argument that we should test the less i really think this was fully directed at his base of supporters who i do not want to vilify i have never in in these many years vilified supporters but this is this is the base of people that overwhelmingly reject violence they they consider being told to wear masks so something that infringes upon their civil liberties so that argument that illogical our argument not rooted in any sort of sensible or or leadership sort of talker style was was rooted it and directed it it seems well let me ask you more about. strategist joe south the decision to hold this rally in oklahoma which is very much a red state how does that reflect his campaigning strategy going forward. one thing i've seen over the years and yes i've made my career republican politics for a very long time despite not supporting this president who i have never found to be
6:14 pm
a republican i do believe him to be an anomaly in the books that hits american history on however this party has fully embraced him and what they've also embrace is a lack of strategy one that says let the president be who he is and who he is is somebody that is driven entirely by him beauchesne ego a sense of wanting to be less beloved it's actually rather dictatorial in style he wants to be the ultimate ruler and what he doesn't grasp is that we have co-equal branches he does not control our congress or our supreme court but he routinely acts in that way so this rally really was not about any sort of grand strategy we should make mention here and really any republican operative with a thinking brave should know that the president climbed to the 2020 reelection has become incredibly more steep than it was he already had
6:15 pm
a mediocre numbers prior to coronavirus trial to prior to the street protests and all this racial unrest and now that's going to be even more talk he is going to have to defy the odds again like he did in 26 team and there is no guarantee that he is essentially immune to the political rabbie forces arena let's talk about these empty seats then at this rally this to top rank i'm curious about 2 things firstly how much of a difference do you think it actually made and secondly could it potentially backfire giving the tom campaign more fodder to criticize so-called radicals. i don't think it's a lot or i think if they're going to criticize anything they'll go criticize the leadership of oklahoma for example maybe say something like oh it was local ordinances or you know there were that there were non friendly forces that didn't want to sit here and therefore they cared to crowd into not being
6:16 pm
a bigot that should have been well look coronavirus a sensible american says sign to the valving the centers for disease control are still putting out different guidance and then they were weeks ago right so sensible americans are saying perhaps it's not safe for me to go i don't think that they'll get very far in continuing down the path that say these radicals are just trying to deflate us i think what they would with the trump campaign experience last night was a dented by this by this right by by teenager because what they were both day were these massive numbers and that was embarrassing for them to come out coming far less under that $20000.00 capacity of what the rally could fill and there was pretty much nobody at that overflow area that the president and the vice president had planned to go address later i do you think the prank was successful and thank you look there are a lot of us that that believe what this president is doing is wrong and let's just maybe you know really kind of stick it to that man and i think he the american teenagers are loving using to talk for that using facebook post for that that's
6:17 pm
great but i don't think it particularly the rally i think the rally was already on its own. when a shot at a conservative commentator speaking to us from virginia always great to have you insights here on out of there and thank you thank you. well plenty more ahead on this news hour for you including we'll be live from belgrade where people are versing despite rising cases of crude 19 but it's not just fears of disease marring the pole. and we go into the heart of one of mexico's last remaining rain forests amid the battle to save it from deforestation. robert lewandowsky sets a new record in the german bundesliga peace will be here to tell you what it is and . now yemen's southern separatists have seized control of the island of sumatra the southern transitional council said it had taken over government facilities on the

island and oppose the government the government is calling it a coup the separatist group which once an independent state of south yemen is supported by the united arab emirates also coach of the island a situation off the horn of africa at the mouth of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes which links asia to europe the u.a.e. temporarily operated a military base that in 2018 angering the government the archipelago is also a unesco world heritage site sometimes referred to as the galapagos of the indian ocean it's home to unique flora and fauna including the dragons blood tree. has covered the war in yemen extensively and also reported from so culture he joins us now this has been a long intractable conflict that's seemingly become even more complex with the internal grievances within existing alliances can you break it down for us. it says here this is the beginning for the rest this year which is the specialist movement in yemen to start the process that has been talking about the whole time which is
6:19 pm
basically to break away from the north and reinstate the republic that existed until 1990 which is the marxist leninist southern republic of yemen and with capturing the archipelago of so qatar which was part of that southern republican it would be extremely easy for them to declare a state of their own what is interesting is that the u.a.e. and saudi arabia which start of the campaign in 2015 against the who these are saying that basically the reason why they have they had interfered was basically to defeat the who these seem to be now divided about what happens in the in the south the u.a.e. provide significant support for the us to see why the saudis support president obama so handy. soldiers lost the fire to control so it's an extraordinary situation there and with the us to see now further expanding its influence in so
6:20 pm
qatar think it's just a matter of time before they break away finally from the from the north of yemen this is all playing out some 400 kilometers from the mainland how does this affect their tents at peace and in the conflict that's actually taking place on the men and it will definitely erode the the potential for any political settlement in the near future the last deal that was signed in 2018 in in sweden was talking about the need to build to build confidence among all the parties bring this discussion is along with the whole things on the internationally recognized government to talk about a transitional period now when you talk to the i.c.c. they would tell you we're no longer part of the political process we have a state of our own it's just a matter of time before we officially declare it as an independent state. completely undermines to me the couple is the beginning or the end for president are global so handy he is in exile along with his government is saudi arabia
6:21 pm
completely he really hated by the s.t.c. and by the people i was watching some of the tweets by that his own people and basically they were saying we have been betrayed by saudi arabia this we don't understand how this is. a law in the is to provide significant military assistance of the s.t.c. for the us to see to defeat the internationally government when the whole the ultimate goal was basically to defeat the huth is part of this whole conflict in 2014 it's a complex no political landscape which is just going to lead to further instability and violence across the country and so conflict will continue watching very closely here on out of there thank you very much house and a whole bar there on the 1st major election since much of europe went into coronavirus lockdown has less than 3 hours to run in serbia more than $6000000.00 people there are eligible to vote for a new parliament now this election was originally planned for april opinion polls
6:22 pm
predict the serbian progressive party of president alexander richards will get about 50 percent of the vote but some opposition parties are boycotting saying the election won't be fair because of the church's media influence on the telly joins us now live from belgrade italian with the opposition boycotting the outcome scenes isn't in doubt. well the part of the opposition together to now around alliance for serbia decided not to run today as they said and as they've been saying in the past couple of years now that there is no democracy in serbia and that everything is true all the by ruling serbian progressive party so they called people to stay home today and not to vote i have to say among those politicians seen
6:23 pm
by cart we have a very well known of politicians former representatives in parliament also former ministers and they said that everything is control even the media by supreme progressive party and mr president him self on the other hand 1st on the list serbian progressive party day or in previous elections the with the more than 40 percent and now research shows that they will also be 1st with more than 50 percent of the vote and the thailand has all obviously taking place within the context of a global pandemic here how did that play into this did voters come out to cast their ballots. well countries still fighting coronavirus we have new numbers seeing increasing every day around $100.00 new people infected every day but health
6:24 pm
officials said that it is safe to vote there is no threat for a virus to be spread if voters keep this where masks and gloves in the puling they sions them but as some political analysis said before they expected a lower turnout today but to deny. until 2 o'clock in the afternoon local time 26 percent of the voters voted which is quite similar with the with the numbers in a pesky elections there is a quite small difference. natalia church there with all the news from belgrade will be coming back to the tally throughout the day thank you natalia. now zimbabwe has endured years of drought and environmentalists blame property developers for making

direction and i cannot say that strongly enough. we are i don't know anyone in the city who does not have a route to problem. many dams rivers and lakes are slowly disappearing several parts of the country are parched as the economy worsens more the bobbins are coming to harare from smaller towns and rural areas and it's a method $2000000.00 people live in and around the capital putting a strain on its already depleting water sources. city council's approved development permits after an environmental impact assessment has been done miscible officials deny allegations made by some environmental activists that they are purposely allowing landowners to build illegally on with lands and more of that is being used to the board for action. drilling other institutions you do. can be used to predict december. they're full of going toward tourist just took
6:27 pm
aboard woodlands but as they are not fond of coming. to release a piece of land that they presume is works in predicted zimbabwe is a signatory to the international rams a convention a cittie for the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands but as urban migration increases the even more pressure to build and grow food in areas conservation a say protecting these few remaining water bodies left in urban areas needs more political will and environmentally friendly policies. al-jazeera had already well still ahead for you on al-jazeera how israel's political balancing act is affecting its plan to start an exciting parts of the occupied west bank. the same way it invading the waters around southern spain and threatening an ancient way of life. we look ahead to liverpool's return to action in the premier league.

6:31 pm
let's remind you of our top stories this hour egypt's foreign minister is renewing the push for a political solution to the conflict in libya it comes only a day after president of the l.c.c. threatened to send in the army a move denounced by libya's un recognized. yemen's southern separatists have seized control of the island of the southern transitional council said it had taken over government facilities and deposed the government the government is calling it a coup. and u.s. president donald trump has held his 1st reelection rally since the coronavirus crisis began the crowd in tulsa oklahoma was smaller than expected after critics said the event threatened to spread private 19. well there has been a spike in corona virus infections in several u.s. states with new daily cases across the country at its highest in nearly 2 months now the southern states of florida reported more than $4000.00 new cases on saturday while in south carolina health authorities reported almost 1200 new cases
6:32 pm
that's as a lockdown measures continue to ease and both states venezuela's vice president says radical new restrictions will come into force there from monday to stop what she is calling a dangerous increase in coronavirus cases the rodriguez says the metro in the capital caracas will be shut down as well as nearby railways passengers will need to prove that they're essential workers venezuela has reported almost 4000 cases and fashion 3 deaths but rights groups believe that the real figures are much higher when brazil police have cleared people from one of its most famous speech. is in rio de janeiro offices and copa cabana in forcing coronavirus restrictions brazil is the 2nd west affected country in the wild more than 1000000 people have been infected and nearly 50000 have died or let's not speak to daniel. capital one as aries danny we've been watching rising numbers of cases across the region brazil obviously and now venezuela too and some countries like argentina where you are it
6:33 pm
seems that measures have been more effective why is that. well i think it comes right from the very top from government policies implemented right at the start of the pandemic crisis here in argentina the president albert often on this was quite adamant that there should be a tight lockdown certainly here in the capital one of siris where the majority of arjun's high in the argentina's cases have been found and there's a result we only need to look at these very grim figures from around the continent as you mentioned in brazil 50000 deaths more than a 1000000 people infected argentina admittedly it has a part a smaller population of about 42000000 but 1000 deaths were coming up to 1000 deaths so as a population 4 times lower but was still has 50 times more fatalities as a result of the carpet 19 crisis so that's i think one of the major reasons but even in countries like peru which have a lot down in the very early on the problem there is is systemic in that it has
6:34 pm
a very poor health system the health system was crumbling right from the very beginning there's been a gradual realisation that that was the case to really put that to rights so despite doing or in theory everything right from a government perspective they still have a great number of cases around peru because they simply didn't have the resources there was also a big problem in countries like peru with corruption we have the police chief has been suspended the interior ministry as the minister has been suspended they're being investigated for giving substandard equipment to policemen across peru as a result 11000 infected 200 police officers have died and that's a scenario that's repeated right across the region 7 states in brazil being investigated 2 governors have been suspended from their office under investigation because 19 equipment respirators p p was simply being sold at inflated
6:35 pm
prices or was substandard so that's been a major problem throughout the region bad policies. in many cases good policies in places like argentina europe why paraguayan and as a result we can see the figures the fatalities much much lower daniel around the region many economy as we're already in a dire situation before this pandemic hit is there a plan being put in place for our longer term future. where people are talking about the longer term future as of now because the lock downs are so tight people are frightened to go out really it isn't a debate at this this stage but in the country like brazil where the president job also now has said right from the be very beginning he didn't think this was a serious pandemic he wanted he thought that. the brazilian economy would be far more severe to the population far more drastic the virus itself but he's lost on both counts the fatalities are very very high as you mentioned and the peak is only
6:36 pm
rising and the economy is in dire straits as well again here in argentina president fernando is right at the very beginning came out with a quote of a paraphrase the g.d.p. can recover from about g.d.p. you can't recover from death and that's been his priority right from the start the argentine economy is in a mess it's negotiating to try to avoid a massive default nobody expects it to come out of this situation any better than it was before it went in which was a dire situation but the emphasis is being put on saving lives ahead of the economy the economy they'll deal with later but the discussions are underway to try to prepare the way for what everybody recognizes you know with a very poor infrastructure will be a dire situation right across the region as far as the economy goes down there in the argentine capital buenos aires for us thank you tony. well spain has opened its borders to visitors from most european countries now
6:37 pm
a compulsory to require indian will be waived for new arrivals but the land border with portugal is staying closed until july the fast spain's covered one outbreak has been one of the worst in europe with 28000 deaths a nearly 300000 infections now the owner of a meat processing plant in northwest germany has apologized to a 1000 employees there were infected all 6 and a half 1000 workers at the factory and their families are all being put into quarantine the military is helping to track down about a 3rd of stuff in his addresses when listed the pandemic has highlighted the german food industry as reliance on migrant labor now british counterterrorism police are joining the investigation into a stabbing attack which killed 3 people others were injured on saturday apparently at random they were sitting in a park in the town of reading not far from london a 25 year old man was arrested and police are not looking for other suspects now canadian police have warned an exiled saudi dissident that his life may be in
6:38 pm
danger the guardian newspaper reports that omar was told he's a potential target of the saudi government he was warned to take precautions of the ozzies was a close associate of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi who was killed by saudi operatives in turkey in 2018 well un special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings and yes said on twitter that the reporter isn't surprising she said that if there aren't consequences for saudi arabia the kingdom will continue to threaten and silence dissidents she also questioned why is saudi arabia is being allowed to host an upcoming g. 20 summit. israel is a few days away from beginning to annex nearly a 3rd of the occupied west bank but as the july 1st start date set by the prime minister benjamin netanyahu approaches a workable plan remains unclear the us is backing the annexation if netanyahu can reach agreement with his coalition partner penny counts how a force that supports. benjamin netanyahu has plans for an extension have already
6:39 pm
been delayed he was told to slow down by the white house sort of the unveiling of the trump plan in january now that being complicated by the differences with his former rival now coalition partner benny gantz has called for coordination not just with the u.s. but also with arab neighbors. the trump plan and visit israel an extinct 30 percent of the occupied west bank with a future palestinian state given israeli territory elsewhere israeli officials have leaked various options in the media one is to begin with some or all of the major illegal settlement blocks arielle ma'ale adumim and the etzion bloc near bethlehem the marrow of a frat within the etzion bloc argues for moving quickly and taking what's been put on the table by the us administration and i think prime minister that i now understand that you can't postpone such an opportunity to be lying that there will be a better one in the future because i don't recall ever in the past having such an opportunity
6:40 pm
