criminal court is on the ground in libya to investigate possible war crimes committed by forces loyal to the ward khalifa haftar that's expected to include a visit to the mass graves that were found in to who in the last month the 3 person team will also investigate booby traps left behind by how fast faces south of tripoli the i.c.c. says that it's received credible information regarding 11 mass graves containing the bodies of men women and children of his era is now holed up the one head is in tripoli with more on the details of the i.c.c. investigation. the government so far seems to be reluctant in revealing the details about the team's. details exactly but we know from sources with the government of national accord nearly $225.00 bodies have been recovered from the mass graves around the city of horner and also. the

secret notorious prisons as you know that we reported that and the past few weeks about the secret prisons where opponents including civilians in women were tortured and murdered and voted in the mass graves that's according to eyewitnesses government officials and local officials from the city of along with medical sources now the team is also due to visit several areas in southern typically to check the areas where a land mines were planted in civilian areas specially those if you like ns are neighborhood insulated dean and also in the vicinity of the old inactive international airport these areas were like near to or a better feel during the military campaign civilian areas had. land mines were planted but helped us forces namely by the russian mercenaries from the bag group and they killed dozens of innocent civilians who were impatient to return home

a tipping point one of the things that really characterizes libya. is the idea and this has been a characteristic the hallmark of middle eastern international politics for decades now is the use of proxies and what's made this particularly dangerous is that you have. many nation states and paramilitary organizations associated with some of these nation states aligning with either the tripoli government or the broke up from it hopefully the idea is that we've we've reached a tipping point the sanctions will be imposed if these violations are substantiated one of the key players here of course is the united states and the united states while you know the past is vacillated in terms of its support for the g.n.a.s. flurry of essentially is something called it last year with the. car

but the role of the united states is important the role of other support of countries for the g. and a france is problematic france has been accused of violations of the unites nations security council resolution 1000 $970.00 in terms of violating the arms embargo but it's inherent to that so again the power politics of this is going to come for a new battle could be looming for the libyan city of forces of the internationally recognized government of pushing for the priest from misrata closing in on the city gates waits in libya's main oil terminals the government of national accord says that it's planning to recapture the area from have to us forces witnesses in the g.n.a.s. say that around $200.00 vehicles moved east to it's from misrata towards the town of to where the g.n.a.s. forces recently came. most of the territory held by after ending his bid to capture

lost to the opposition as in previous elections candidates need to be bettered by security and the credibility of the election has been further questioned by the exclusion of millions of syrians who left their country or have been displaced by the conflict. in 1000000 people in the north of the country for example won't have any representation in the next parliament and the deputies who are supposed to represent regime held areas are not real representatives they won't stand by the people they are beholden to the regime which has absolute power and control. but president bashar is facing challenges results of previous elections were not recognized by the international community the syrian leader will need to agree to political reforms in order to receive western aid to rescue the economy devastated by hears of war and corruption. and the election. process.

after much delay the un announced the creation of a committee to rewrite the constitution ahead of internationally monitored and actions there hasn't been any progress elections contradict the political transition agreed on by the international community but assad seems to have different objectives many say syria's president is ensuring the incoming parliament whose job is to ratify a new constitution will reject any changes to the president's powers and tenure in office. all the warlords. all my mil and people who fought with his forces on the ground so he knows. this people who will be voting soon for their constitutional amendments they know they will be accountable

changing the constitution when you talk about. transitional justice the syrian president showed little willingness to agree to political concessions even when he was losing the war he now believes he's won largely thanks to the help of his russian and iranian allies for many this latest election shows how little has changed in our side syria. beirut for a 2nd day the world health organization has reported a record single day jump in global corona virus infections in the past 24 hours the number of new cases has risen by nearly 260000 the biggest increases were in the united states brazil india and south africa the w.h.o. reported more than $7300.00 new deaths that's the biggest daily increase since may 10th in total more than $600000.00 people died since the pandemic began. iran's president hassan rouhani says that 25000000 people more than

a quarter of the population may have been infected with the coronavirus he says a further 35000000 could be at risk of infection iran has officially reported around 271000 cases but rouhani is office says that his much higher figures based on research estimates by the health ministry for the restrictions of being enforced around the country after a surge in new cases you take years to get favorable for him one of the most important matters is that here is to medical recommendations and social distancing to limit the spread of the corona virus according to the ministry of health estimates 25000000 iranians have been infected with the coronavirus so far and we have lost about 14000 of them within 150 days it is possible that 30 to 35000000 citizens are at risk to be infected in the coming period this means that the number of patients who would be hospitalized will double it is possible that the virus will continue until march al-jazeera send us ravi reports now from tehran. this

iran compiles that it then sends out to the world official confirmed figures those come from people who are hospitalized and are tested positive in swab tests for the covert 19 coronavirus now what we see here the figure that mr rouhani is talking about perhaps a better word than infection is it's the total number of people that have been exposed in the country to the coronavirus now whether he misspoke or whether this was president hassan rouhani trying to fire a warning flare to illustrate iranians that remains a serious problem that they have to take the threat of the coronavirus seriously the point that the president made today either way is that iran has been and remains the worst affected country in the middle east. a weather update thanks to announce a 0. european leaders fail to agree on a coronavirus rescue plan we'll tell you why. ground 0 speaks to the u.n.
