and or on this by he doesn't look like they need their political but if it was if they feel that. the transitional council or the transitional council is bound by the u.a.e. but also doesn't enjoy it also that much of the support because of because of many many many reasons but the long human rights violations of its own on the front there will be the international community may say that they want they are not. back you know but they don't have the means to have the active means to add to that in order. for the beauty they're trying to be had into the latest conflict as much as possible and eventually the question will be are. libya's internationally recognized government is rejecting arab league calls for

peace talks so long as the initiative comes from allies of the warlord khalifa haftar the arab league has held a virtual emergency meeting of the surge to other countries to stop the military intervention egypt's president who is threatening to send troops over the border called on the government of national accord in tripoli to stop its offensive against tough task forces they've been chased from western libya after suffering a series of defeats the city of sirte is potentially the next major battleground it's under the control of have to fight is the pinned down by forces of the internationally recognized government in tripoli it has military support from turkey france's president says that turkey is playing a dangerous game that can no longer be tolerated russia's foreign minister has called for an immediate cease fire to be implemented on all sides so a lover off says that he and egypt have agreed with moscow's approach to ending the conflict we have 2 correspondents in libya in a moment we'll speak with that malik trainer who is in this russia but 1st let's

get the latest from the one head who is in tripoli mahmoud why is the internationally recognized government refusing to have anything to do with arab league sponsored peace talks. well 1st of all the tripoli because the government is accusing the egyptian regime which has called for this summit of attacking libya sovereignty of declaring war war on libya and violating the sovereignty of libya by declaring war and by threatening to intervene militarily militarily in cook in case the government forces move on the strategic course to the city of sirte and now we have just been told that libya libya's internationally recognized government it is planning to darwin size its diplomatic representation in the arab league on account

of what it calls the double standard policy you believe is adopting specially in regard to the libyan next crisis now the government in tripoli is. accusing the egyptian regime of for mentoring in fact fueling the conflict by being biased in dealing with the libyan crisis by backing and supporting the warlords really for have for several years now and their foreign ministry at their tripoli base the government is also accusing the arab league of violating its own it's the league's own internal panel by holding this summit without consent of the libyan government also this is in inter in as the government names it a violation of the security council resolutions because libya's internationally recognized

government is the only illegitimate body who presenting libya abroad and now it seems that any peace any peace proposal comes from egypt from the egyptian regime namely is rejected by the tripoli because the government. given the fact that the egyptian regime has encouraged have to tour the fuse i rejected many c.s. fire proposals in the past they say the government officials here say that when we are full of peace in the past the egyptian regime encouraged have to reject it but now won't have to and has been defeated when his project has been failed the military campaign he launched it has failed now digital regime is trying to save have to by offering a ceasefire proposal on a serious backward up forward there live in tripoli for us let's go to the coastal city of misrata. traina is there east of the capital what's happening on the ground right now mullet. well jeannie forces are positioned to the west of.

you know they say that they will not negotiate with hostage or and that they will enter the city it's important to know that these are forces that know the area in and around certain very well they went in to search in 2011 they captured and killed gadhafi there in 2016 eisel took control of sirte for several months and these are the forces primarily from the city here in the trucks that entered sirte and liberated it of course they did that with american support the u.s. africa africa command carried out airstrikes at the time so there's been cooperation with the americans we saw yesterday a delegation a u.s. delegation arriving in libya and and so they say that they will enter the city and then they don't they don't want to negotiate with after now we're seeing a lot of as mahmoud said a lot of political maneuvering by various countries egypt you know saying saying

the. president of the fatah has sisi asking his military to be repaired he said that you know suits and and so for us in central libya our red line we also know that. porting to u.s. africa command over 14 or 14000000 russian military jets are in algebra so you know that's sort of causing a lot of issues and in terms of the americans in terms of the europeans libya strategically located on the mediterranean southern shores has one of the largest gas natural gas reserves in the world now you know as you can see the the the weather sort of warm enough so there's going to be an influx of migrants trying to reach europe through libya and so you know we're seeing a lot of various actors positioning themselves in various ways you know some probably for a ceasefire some not and so what that's what we're seeing whether or not they will go into sirte now or they will wait or even. it'll be

a peaceful solution will want to find out. many thanks indeed i was there is not a traitor there live for us in the coastal city of misrata east of tripoli in libya the situation in that country has changed drastically over the past 6 months in january turkey rapidly passed a law allowing it to deploy troops to libya for one year soon turkish boots landed in the capital to support the government of national accord despite protests from greece france and egypt the following month the united nations tried to broker a cease fire without success the government of national accord then pulled out of further negotiations following the killing of civilians by half shelling of the capital in march the un special envoy to libya on salami quit his job over health concerns further complicating peace efforts the jna then made began making advances and reclaiming control of land from half the us forces in may diplomats confirm the presence of russian nurse noor is in the country the same month the government of

national accord claimed control over a key air base near the tunisian border and dozens of towns and supply routes soon after a number of flights carrying russian mercenaries were spotted leaving the battlefront around tripoli as the government of national accord continued to advance east woods egypt's president announced that he would intervene militarily in support of half the should he see it necessary. is a libya analyst he joins us now live via london. via skype from london always good to have you with us. a feeling i know what you're going to say here but why do you think the government of national accord is dismissing these calls for arab league sponsored peace talks. well it's a real weaponization of the peace process given only the 2 weeks ago it was the us is it off with a peace deal in cairo that the murder of the police officers forces were in

a tree. and this is really a policy of preservation by a cartel all or there were various states in the arab league and it's perhaps one of the most bizarre the plot incidents and recent history and there is a lot there's are all of what we in the very least and because of this one has the . country back in an insurgent. tells a sober government that is the weather like to be a play of its own territory requirements only on the whole a part of the r.c.c. so it's a bizarre one but i would say that the arab league and egypt because of some of our terrorist projectable and in cahoots the political weapon or it's any resources going forward this is the president has he said the bottom line only moments ago that was the sense in january 20th in berlin and days before that there was a sense in moscow and it's the words of the apocalypse that have now become infamous in moscow which was he refused to do and so i mean the moral finding none

of us come and really get about $101.00 how many factors might it that's where the real issue is that it's mostly where they're going from the offensive to the retreats and then it's really it was a policy of preservation especially given that if a part of the general populace of the enjoyable part of russia work actually be out of the intricate of the if. so the government of national accord is worried that the peace talks the call for peace talks is mainly a storming mechanism you heard me a few moments ago reading out that that that list that summary of what's happened in the last few months in libya which is incredibly complicated just who is involved in libya's conflict right now. well as an interesting mix only side of the credit by far most his 3rd of the civil war and still attempted coup in the last 6 years you have egypt which backs for the iraq war militarily and most

intelligence that in the early those attackers civil war of $1014.00 you also have the united arab emirates who are deployed f. 16 of the fluid alongside erik prince formerly a blackwater arsenal of chinese firms that are almost a copycat of the americans for the heroes there who really lose that deploy them but recently in the last 6 years you also have russia which is as the reporter correctly pointed out has the police militia 14 at least 14 jensen and and a higher than a sort of injured or who are at barons of russian medicine is that it is a ploy to the streets of tripoli you know with their capture on behalf of don't you also have as i said what are your how transparent you're going interchangeably diplomatic immunity all of the actors that really the u.a.e. have been willing to give him the ways and means to sustain the advance of the

lever and when that will so really have a an interesting mix on its own just just briefly. what's your sense of where this conflict is headed next. this is the most and belittling and least this trip to libya everything that happens in the inches literally did inches of major geostrategic consequences one of the leaders of the erbium are a lot more regretfully a lot more luck that will be skillful to get anywhere near a p.c. a lot given the so many of the countries and all of the military factor is also the keys to the e.u. and the u.n. security council especially russia and france it's going to be very difficult to get any kind of meaningful diplomatic peace process at the end of this 100 years ago a lot more a lot more but the come aggressively will still be here a month ago and i asked god to talk to me thanks and they had an awesome commodity there live in london. this is the news out from al-jazeera still to come on the

program prefer. to hear who's detailing dozens of human rights violations committed by the us police in just 10 days. in malawi last year's presidential election was marred by for critics question whether the rerun is going to be any better. than in schools a huge show of support for the african-american nascar driver who was the target of a racist act. voting in the primary elections on the way in the us states of new york and kentuckian but there are concerns in kentucky about voters not being able to cost the ballots officials closed thousands of voting stations because of the covert 900 pandemic fewer than 200 are available especially spots in areas where black voters

live in new york social distancing measures are in place as people vote like kentucky new york has made it easier for voters to cast their ballots by mail this year but the high number of 1000000 votes is expected to delay results from both states for several days let's go live to louisville kentucky al-jazeera said john hendren. we're hearing the phrase voter suppression bandied around a lot today as far as kentucky's primary is concerned john why is it so controversial. well adrian they've closed most of the $3700.00 polling places across the state of kentucky there normally $33700.00 there are now going to be $200.00 so that means in urban areas like where i am now in jefferson county the capital city there is louisville. the urge going to be one place to vote all day and that is this the kentucky exposition center right now. well there well under capacity but the concern is that that could change

over the course of the day i would just give you a look this is where people fill out their ballots and as you can see there's plenty of space right now and then over my other shoulder there are the machines that they take these ballots and turn in you can see people doing that as well but this is a county where half of the state's black residents live and the concern is that they might not be able to get here and that if they do they might eventually be deterred by long lines or just reports of long lines and not vote and that's important because this is a very important election for black voters there's a black candidate for senate charles booker who was just outside here before voting himself and he's running for senate in a seat that if he won he would contend with the republican leader of the u.s. senate mitch mcconnell a very big race you've also had the recent killing of an african-american woman briana taylor by police in her own home they were issuing

a warrant but looking for someone else so the belief is that voter turnout will be exceptionally high particularly among african-americans and anything that would stunned me that vote could alter the outcome of the election adrian as the been any precedent for this job or seen anything like this before. well voting in a pandemic is always a problem this election has been put off for a month but it's happened also in wisconsin and in georgia and wisconsin in particular the city of milwaukee had just 5 polling places that was way down from their usual number of hundreds and there were problems there people waited in line for hours people eventually didn't vote and with the mail in ballots yes one in 3 voters here did request a mail in ballot but we don't know that they turned him in and we also know there have been problems with some of those mail in ballots that they have the wrong names on them or the wrong party so as you notice one of these is for the republicans one of these is for the democrats you get the wrong one you don't have

the choices that you want to make and that gives you no choice but to come into a place like this just heiress john hendren live in louisville kentucky many thanks indeed john meanwhile u.s. president donald trump is set to visit arizona in the coming hour sees that if you construction of the wall along the border with mexico let's go live now to the white house. is the out of the disappointing rally at the weekend the phone calls for president trump's relaunch his election campaign is that something he's likely to try today. well this is part of it by going down and shoring the wall he's showing your supporters that it is actually being built i think after 3 years in office he would be hoping that would be a lot more than just 200 miles but he will blame the fact that it's been blocked by democrats in the house not giving him the money to do unfortunately he doesn't have control over the past strains but that's one part of his trip the 2nd

part is going to be a gathering of students who are students for trump that's going to be held at a mega church in arizona and there's a concern about him going to arizona because that state is seeing a real spike in the number of cases now donald trump has attracted a lot of criticism over the last couple of days by saying that he ordered officials to go slow on testing because that revealed the u.s. had a lot more cases when the white house was asked about that he said no no no the president was was only joking he was trying to make a point about how the media isn't covering the fact that the u.s. is ahead with testing it wasn't about the number of tests and know when was the slowing down the number of tests and then as he was leaving for phoenix the president was asked specifically about that this is what he had to see. i don't get let me tell you let me make it clear we have got the greatest testing program

anywhere in the world we've had better than anybody in the world that are the best in the world and we have the most of them by having more than we find work great with 45 but one in 5000000. think about one in 5 if you look at other countries they did 1w2w they got rid of money private way more by double triple quadruple any other grant. so if you're a little bit confused about whether or not the president did or did officials to slow testing or not then i don't blame you because it's certainly a confusing message that's coming out of the white house why is donald trump heading to others so not well it's an important state in any close presidential election there are 11 electoral college votes up for grabs this is the 3rd time that he has visited this state since the start of the year that he won the state

quite handily in 2016 with 48 percent of the vote there is a republican governor there who enjoys quite good approval ratings but in 4 of the last 5 polls donald trump has been behind joe biden quite significantly so you can see why he thinks it's important to go there what will be interesting is whether or not at his event he is wearing a mask because in the area that he's going to in arizona there is a requirement that people in public places should wear masks the mayor of the city has also said look we want you to weigh the mask it's important that elected officials set an example for others donald trump of course has never worn a mask in public he's been very reluctant to do that so it may seem just like a little trip for the president but there's a lot of reasons to keep an eye on it on a serious alan fischer live at the white house in washington have many thanks indeed. silicon valley is pushing back against u.s. president donald trump's latest executive order to limit the entry of immigrant

workers it's estimated that more than $200000.00 skilled workers will be affected by the new plan the restrictions come into effect on wednesday the trumpet ministrations response to the coronavirus pandemic is coming under scrutiny at a congressional hearing right now america's top infectious diseases expert talked to and they found chief is among the witnesses set to testify democratic politicians have consistently criticized the white house's handling of the pandemic they blame the administration for inadequate testing among many other things steve clemons is the host of al-jazeera is the bottom line and washington editor at large for the hill he joins us now live from washington state what are we expecting from this today. well i know the democrats want to drill into the question of whether donald trump told his you know cap sports team to slow down testing i it's one of

the most controversial statements that that president trump has made recently he made it at the trump rally and as you just showed he did it this morning saying that united states is testing so many people it's running into more chess and so democrats are alleging that the president cares more than those numbers then about doing the kinds of testing that that the economy needs to come back responsibly and safely so they're also going to look at other elements of the testing regime we have the director of the c.d.c. and other key health officials there and they're trying to get you know if john bolton talked about get inside the room with the trump decisions that have been made and the perception that the white house has not handled the coronavirus very well how much pressure will we'll talk to then when he testifies. well dr kalki is practically a folk hero in the country right now he's looked at as one of the true authorities that on both sides of the aisle frankly most people respect and see as someone who

is a responsible steward of america's health program and vaccine development process along with his other colleagues but there have been reports that dr crouch he hasn't communicated with president trump in weeks and there is this sense that there's a distance between the white house particularly in this political season between elite scientists in the nation trying to wrestle with the coronavirus and you know the political messy messaging and signaling that are coming from the trump campaign to their public and that goes with everything from wearing masks in certain hygenic standards to gathering in the kinds of rallies we saw in tulsa the other day so i think they're going to be drilling in in trying to highlight the fact that democrats suspect is that there's a lot of distance a big gap between the white house and its lead scientists steve clemons editor at large for the hill and host of al-jazeera is the bottom line live in washington state many thanks. well got

a weather update thanks to you on the syrup then. i'll loan matthew hibernation is beginning to come to an end because he is locked down restrictions for the sort of our restaurants in england to open next. falling victim to the corona virus a pandemic we look at students around the world you've lost all our excess to an education. at its core the endless premier league match on want to fly past and be here with the details of dance a little later. and conditions remain homeless and dry throughout much of the middle east of the winds have been pretty strong and they're going to stay strong over the next couple of days you can see here on the map we've got these big green arrows coming from that

tripoli to stop its offensive against huffed us forces a primary elections are underway in new york in kentucky but there are concerns in kentucky that they are not off voting stations in predominantly black areas after thousands of polling places were closed due to the coronavirus. police forces across the united states have been committing widespread and serious human rights violations against black lives massive protest us that's according to a damning report from amnesty international the rights group focused on demonstrations following the killing of george floyd in may al-jazeera is pretty kohei and reports. some of the videos highlighted are now familiar chaos outside of the white house protesters cleared to make way for a presidential photo of police in minneapolis patrolling a neighborhood and firing projectiles of people sitting on their own front porches . but as protests spread across the country many of the videos highlighted by

amnesty international didn't go viral in indianapolis a woman in a wheelchair and small children tear gassed by police while praying. little rock arkansas protesters kneeling and then this way that you do it. in california protesters lane on the ground and police react all across the country members of the media deliberately attacked. it goes on and on and it happened all over the country according to amnesty international over 11 days in 40 states and the district of columbia they say these are $125.00 examples of verified police abuse or overall takeaway is that it's not a few bad apples and it's not a few bad departments and it's not a big city problem or it's not an east coast west coast problem it's that we found these incidents everywhere al-jazeera reached out to several police organizations

for comment but didn't get a response but the police do have strong defenders in the u.s. it's a tinderbox and people including police officers can on occasion older react i don't think is any question about that but you know most of the incidents that i have heard about. you know are are cheer gas or flash bang units or. pepper spray used to disperse crowds and it's very difficult to tell in some of these videos about what is going on with those crowds of those crowds throwing projectiles needs to be attacking them amnesty international hopes this site and all of these videos will lead to serious police reform and while that is happening in some places the federal government seems unlikely to be able to agree on how to keep these seeds from playing out again and again patty cocaine al jazeera.

let's hear it all more now from brian castner he's amnesties senior crisis advisor on a military operations and says the evidence against the us police is overwhelming i think that actually the visibility is a huge part of this and the fact that there has not been widespread protests like this in the united states with everyone having a smartphone and quite the way they do even in the last 6 years since ferguson you know there's been such an increase in the number of phones the streaming technology the social media i think that there's just a we're seeing far more than we used to and what's really shocking i think is just the volume of videos and the volume of of content that we saw coming out of these protests and how we didn't really have to look too hard it was actually the bigger challenge was sorting through it all because there was just so much going on with pepper spray and tear gas and flash bangs and pepper balls really everywhere we

looked in the last say 1510 years there's been a lot of purchases of these impact grenades these like sponge rounds in marking rounds baton rounds they're sometimes called in pepper balls and just a variety of new products and you can see that when the police have these products they're very willing to use them in effect the threshold to use them seems to be extraordinarily low us president tunnel trump is again threatening jail time for people who destroy monuments on federal property a tweet to us warning just alice off the protests and tried to take down a satchel of former president andrew jackson to the white house statues of confederate figures supreme taken down across the country during weeks of protests against racism and police are. england is lifting coronavirus restrictions prime minister boris johnson has announced a series of measures bars restaurants and hotels will reopen from july 4th to meet

a social distancing rule will also be relaxed to one meter plus separate rules are in place in scotland wales and northern ireland for more on this let's go live to london now to zeros lawrence lee is the government has been a pains to point out right throughout the pandemic that it's following the science lawrence of the scientists happy with this yes i think i think so but i mean if you take a 100 epidemiologist and stick him in a room you get about 85 different opinions to be honest with you but you know the old facts are that the number of cases has shrunk dramatically so has the death toll in the government's got these 5 tests it says it's what you wanted to meet and . are now in stage 3 so you know when boris johnson announced this in parliament stay there cries of hallelujah not from the opposition benches but from his own conservative m.p.'s some of whom have been absolutely furious that it's taken him so long to try to reduce this cursed to meter rule because england has

a primarily service based economy bars and restaurants have found it absolutely impossible to try to function restaurant called make any money at all with to meet a distance one meter is difficult enough for them and so it's you know eventually about time people are saying that this happened crucially as well it's now not the subjects of legislation either it's a guide and so it's being left up to people to source of policing themselves if you like 7 week on saturday that's what's going to happen the government here obviously has been slated left right and center from this confusing messaging over the weeks and people haven't known what they are an answer lout to do but for once it looked like an opportunity for boris johnson to try to get back on the front foot. today we can say. that our long national hibernation is beginning to come

to an end and life is returning to our street and to our shops the bustle is starting to come back and the new book cautious optimism is palpable because of the same time he was a pains to say that if there is the source of isolated outbreak a flare up of the saudis or in beijing or in germany and elsewhere then they might have to be local lockdowns in the weeks and months to come but the tentative bit of good news i think that goes along with this is that the preparations and things that had to happen here when it was at its worst in the spring the construction for example of a brand new hospital in london with a 1000 beds none of which ever got use because the hospitals weren't in the end completely overwhelms presumably all that capacity is still going to exists in the autumn when when things not might might get worse again and equally at the same time all these pallets of measures new drugs and the like a coming through which seemed to have the ability to save the lives of the worst

affected people so there is a source of tentative hope among many people who think that the economic damage from the virus is actually worse than the virus itself but over the coming months even if it gets worse the might not be the same sort of completely deserted streets that we witnessed in the spring. laura sleep live for us in london many thanks lawrence was england's opens up lockdown restrictions are being reposed reimposed in northern germany where 1500 workers connected to a meat processing plant tested positive restaurants there detainment venues in north rhine-westphalia are being shot and people can only meet outside in paris it's the 1st german state to restore emergency measures since they began to work is in april and a series dominick came reports from berlin. the reimposition of lockdown in the area of greatest low in the state of north rhine-westphalia is

a blow for that state and its prime minister arm and russia to keep conservative allies of angular americal the hope amongst the oil forest is that they will be able to keep this as an isolated outbreak it's worth bearing in mind that this particular this meat processing firm tourney is more than $1500.00 workers they have tested positive for the virus plus some of their family members and 2 dozen other people who are not connected with the plant as i say the hope is to be able to treat it as an isolated outbreak the interesting thing here is that the people who collect the figures of new infections and the rate of infections across this country have been looking into what it is about the meat processing industry that has seen several different outbreaks in this country over the course of the past few months during this pandemic this is what they had to say is skeptical there are indications that 2 aspects could play a large role in spreading the virus in avatar was one is the temperature the air is

cooled to keep the meat cool and this could play a role another factor that is not insignificant is that aerosols can be formed because the air is damp the important thing to stress here is that ministers have always they are led by the science by the numbers during this pandemic the mantra had always been for ministers but once the. rates of infections of new of new infections and the reproduction rate of the virus got above one while that was a dangerous sign for the country and the point right now is the robert cock institute says that the stable measurement of the virus is considerably above one which leaves the question for ministers at a federal level what do they do next do they treat this is just isolated outbreaks or might they at some point need to introduce more locked i imagine is the question will be answered when the numbers come through a judge in brazil has ordered president jaya balsa now to wear a mask in public after he repeatedly appeared greeting his supporters without one

the sport his andy thank you so much i will number one of a joke of it just tested positive for coronavirus it follows a controversial series of exhibition of events he's been organizing in the balkans djokovic is the folds player who has competed in the adjured so events to test positive that's what's taking place in serbia and croatia cry. have a lot damages before the most recent event many players didn't have to observe social distancing rules the main men's and women's tours have been suspended since march al-jazeera correspondent helen boscovich has the latest for us from djokovic his home country of serbia in a brief statement djokovic tried to defend his idea of organizing committee tournaments by saying everything we did in past month we did with a pure heart and sincere intentions our tournaments are meant to unite ensure a message of solidarity and compassion throughout the region we organized the term and at the moment when the virus has a big and believing that the conditions for hosting the had been met unfortunately

the virus is still present. in his statement explain that he will be in karen team for next 2 weeks that he will be tested in 5 days but djokovic is the president of a union of tennis professional players many have been already against the decision to organize these tournaments where the crowd being present and really here in belgrade there was 0 social distance at the stands and implications might be major not only within the tennis circles but in serbia as well and in the creation well jon wertheim of sports illustrated says djokovic she's behavior has damaged his reputation and undermined efforts to resume the tennis season. smith was an unsanctioned event so he was sort of free to do whatever he wished if that's a bit irregular a.t.p. or a major event there would have obviously been much stricter controls but this is a sport that hasn't had any action since early march players haven't been paid

since early march everybody's eager to get back in to have a number one player in the world who also has this political position on the a.t.p. tour have to have him basically jeopardize the reopening this has not gone over well i had a player reach out to the yesterday's big jested there was already some talk about trying to get your committed removed from this player council but again the number one player in the world was atop the rankings but there also is some political capital to leadership that comes with that and that has really been squandered this has been a a rough few days for tennis in a rough few days for novak djokovic in the u.s. open really had to jump through hoops to get back on the calendar to get government approval they made a lot of concessions and to have the number one player test positive because of his own doing and i think something needs to be stressed as this was this was really avoidable we've had athletes in all sports testing positive but i can't think of a case like this where it was really an act of self harm so this has that tennis back and i think tennis tournament directors that really had scrambled to try and resume their spot on the calendar even if that meant making concessions they don't
