accused of abuse and violence in fiji. on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian figure and this is the news of our continuing coverage of the ceasefire between libya's boring sides. what they have accomplished here today took a great deal of courage the agreement signed in geneva calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire it's the biggest step yes towards peace after nearly a decade of war also ahead spain's prime minister says his country is real total coronavirus cases exceeds 3000000 that's triple the official count. we're opening
4:01 pm
up our country we've learned and studied and understand the disease learning to live with c'mon we're dying with donald trump and joe biden clash on familia issues but the 2nd and final debate is more civil than the 1st. and guineas president on course for victory in elections that of pool violence and allegations of fraud. and i'm somehow must now have all the sport tiger woods has a disastrous a start to the championship at the 15 time major winner and around one near the bottom of the leaderboard. it's been praised as historic but received by many with caution libya's warring sides have agreed to what the u.n. is calling a permanent ceasefire it decided to geneva after nearly
4:02 pm
a decade of conflict triggered by the downfall of longtime leader moammar gadhafi. today is a good day for the libyan people at 11 15 am this morning here in the u.n. headquarters in geneva the 2 libyan delegations to the 5 plus 5 joint military commission talks signed a complete countrywide and permanent cease fire agreement with immediate effect. well here are some of the terms of that agreement military and armed groups must leave the front lines all mercenaries and foreign fighters have to be out of libya within 3 months the 2 sides will work with the u.n. to start identifying every armed group operating within libya's territory and they'll form a combined limited military force of regular personnel that reports to a joint commission of the all important question of oil for production of exports
4:03 pm
or to resume as soon as possible the heads of the 2 the geishas praised the deal and said that they will abide by it. and what i have addressed politicians in libya and have asked them to be one hand not to be polarized by factions and movements in order to achieve stability political and military stability in libya that's the only way to build the nation and to make sure security prevails we have had enough suffering enough division and enough bloodshed. we've succeeded in achieving what all libyans were looking forward to the feeling of belonging to a nation of peace and security we are very pleased with what we have achieved in a moment we'll speak to alexander out of it's gone for about what khalifa haftar us allies in moscow are saying but 1st let's go to al-jazeera as luck would have the white head who is in tripoli turkey's president has poured cold water sort of on this cease fire deal that it is just a cease fire deal holds not a peace agreement what's the reaction there. seems that we've
4:04 pm
lost contact with how it will go back to him in just a moment but xandra in moscow russian forces are operating on the ground what's been the reaction there in moscow to the cease fire deal. well there is not so many reactions from moscow at this point the only one we have is actually coming from the acting charge the affairs of russia in early b.-a who said that moscow is of course welcoming the cease fire and hopes that it will further lead to durable peace what we know from what is actually russian standpoint is that any durable peace or any final solution if you want for libya should include basically all political parties that have influence on the ground in libya being included in negotiation being taken into account including russia previously said supporters of. which want to go is in contact with as they are with the
4:05 pm
government in tripoli and. they're also saying that there should be a revenue fairly interest bearing the distribute it now or russia does have an interest in early b.-a they want to keep their influence there maybe not to the level they had during the but for sure to have the influence and to be a player in north africa they're also interested in oil fields and as for the mercenaries officially official position of kremlin is that there are no russian mercenaries in libya which is something they keep on repeating also when it comes to the other countries reports say that there is up to 2000 of them that they belong to the so-called wagner group which is controlled by close reports a close ally of putin and reports also say that they are fighting on the side of general have and do to them he had in the earlier period earlier this year
4:06 pm
11 some battles and they're now in charge of the said oil fields so it seems that it will not only come to what is happening on the ground in libya between the parties involved in conflict but also what some other players in this conflict will have to or will have to say and how they will coordinate their actions namely namely turkey and russia in his case. alexandra a lot of it's called for reporting from moscow that example many thanks indeed or let's go back to tripoli then and al-jazeera is mahmood up the warhead you probably missed by saying would the president has kind of poured cold water on this cease fire deal saying he doesn't think that it's sustainable what's the reaction there in tripoli. that is similar to reactions here in western libya to adrian we have been hearing. opinions here are denouncing get that agreement many people are skeptical about
4:07 pm
this agreement others say it's only part of the whole process and they still want to see what the other path especially the political and economic path has will end up where as you know adrian this is only one 3rd of the whole process it's 3 main path is the political the economic and the military the deal the cease fire agreement this is the this is the eventual. agreement of the military military path through several rounds of talks over the past few months but now the question now is whether or not this will up lie to the russian the turkish military agreement with the government of national accord many people here are wondering if the agreement stipulates that all foreign fighters
4:08 pm
should leave within 3 months and all military training should stop in libya we know that there is that have been a military and security agreement between the international government of national accord and turkey the last november and by virtue of that agreement the government of national accord has been able to repel halfords forces that tack on the capital tripoli so again whether or not the terms of this agreement will be implemented on the ground especially it also stipulates that it is seeking it will submit the agreement to the united nations security council to be endorsed which means that a binding resolution might. he really is and this respect al-jazeera is more hold up for what had lived there in tripoli many thanks indeed let's hear more of what took his president have to say as mentioned turkey has been giving military support
4:09 pm
to the u.n. recognized government in tripoli. is the cease fire agreement is actually not a ceasefire at the highest level it is at a lower level time will show how lasting it will be similarly we also don't know how true it is that mercenaries like wagner will withdraw within 3 months there is a representative there from the pictures top talk there's also commander sent by mr surat there for the cease fires reliability does not seem to achievable to me let's bring in the fall aboard in robots he's the executive director of the nordic center for conflict transformation good to have you with us it's not a peace deal yet but at the very least the ceasefire is good news for libya's ordinary people. yes big zack one of the things that the disturbed agreement ceasefire agreement would be taken in a very cautious way no end to most of the peace agreements in the world that have
4:10 pm
ended up at the rate of 80 percent even more in mean i reason we have seen failure of ceasefire for example when he was the globe by the russian and earlier points. another one thing only one by declared by the stanleys in yemen and the failure of the ceasefire. declared the libya in august however no one can negotiate for durable peace and long term peace. when the fighting is ongoing i believe that this ceasefire is little bit the correction is a little bit different by the strong compartment of the un it is still a complex war because it's a proxy war there are several warning parties. a lot of people that are skeptical about the word. agreement however it's a very good news for the civilians the content of this agreement allows for the for all of services and products for the civilians who have been in
4:11 pm
a misery and deteriorate it pulls it situations for almost all morning and then another then a decade the 2nd thing is that for every cease fire is the 1st step for confidence bill good for him party. and the bank of course there are some other warring parties because this is a complex war you have private companies that want security company in parking lot you have mercenaries or some of them it is not in your interest to be taking part of the negotiating table because they make money out of your war however. the more you see. the green on a cease fire then why are other warning parties who did not want to be in negotiating table would be afraid to be singled out and to be left out for any kind of agreement especially in relation to natural resources so what i'm saying this is
4:12 pm
that. there would be skepticism but this is a great start for a negotiation of peace in libya and the most important thing is the 1st step to a ongoing negotiation that will happen at the guest and will include not only warring parties but essentially not warring parties who are actually pay for it and i am talking about civilians the agreement calls for all foreign fighters to be out of the country within 3 months. there is a point of view that says that it's only the presence of turkish forces and maybe russian mercenaries in the country that moment is keeping a very fragile peace and there's been no serious fighting for a couple of months now what happens when they leave. first of all one of the complex issues for this agreement to be the identification of the warring parties.
4:13 pm
it's going to be an exact size a complex exact size i don't think it's only the turkish forces and others there are other ones that we don't know of what we know of course there are private companies security companies involved there there are messages that come from everywhere so the votes exist as is the identification of all the warning parties in this conflict once they leave. first of all it's a huge achievement if happens it will turn around how peace agreements can be negotiated and i hope that libyan is agreed cease fire agreement will be the new chapter in how to negotiate negotiate a ceasefire by independent you are all warring parties it is still very very optimistic to think so all that all we believe but let's see what happens. so many thanks dana from abroad and the robot. the rest of the day's
4:14 pm
news still ahead on the news including negotiating while on the battlefield fighting intensifies in the global cover bark hours before crucial talks in the u.s. begin. of the 1st time since records began an important part of the arctic ice is yet to freeze a lot of what experts are saying about the consequences for us all. gareth bale makes his 1st start since returning to spurs the latest for the europa league coming up in schools. the u.s. says that it's received credible information about potential attacks and kidnappings targeting americans in turkey the embassy says the risk include the us consulate general as well as other foreign nationals it's temporarily suspended all services
4:15 pm
but it's locations in the country until the u.s. citizens to exercise caution in places frequented by foreign this spain's prime minister says his nation may have 3000000 coronavirus cases that's 3 times higher than the country's official total european governments are reimposing lockdowns greece trick sions try to contain rapidly rising infections russia slovakia and poland have all seen a record single day rise in the number of infections on friday french scientists say that could 19 is spreading fast i know that at the peak of the 1st wave in march let's go live now to roger simmons who's in european news center in london so how did they calculate this 3000000 figure and drew in spain and tell us more about those warnings from french scientists. it pederast sanchez the spanish prime minister gave this shock announcement a few hours back now that $3000000.00 figure he refers to as
4:16 pm
a real time figure after new research which hasn't been fully detailed yet into the infection rate and this it all as you already pointed out is 3 times the figure the official figures they've been using so far now in spain they're stopping short of a national lockdown it's quite controversial they have made a number of measures like the rest of europe but this is a country structured by its regions and there are complaints from the leaders of those regions that the national policy doesn't add up to really a coordinated one at this stage now in france you have the starkest warning yet of the infection rise being potentially not potentially in fact that's the wrong word is going to be as bad if not worse than late march early april when the pandemic was at its peak france has made new measures to try and contain the virus
4:17 pm
it's curfew policy has been extended to affect 2 thirds 2 thirds of a 1000000 of the popular 2 thirds of the population i should say terms of what they're doing right now which is suffering really big restrictions so pretty critical there when we talk about the infection rate you can expect at going on from that the number of hospital admissions to rise and then the death rates to rise so there is more to come and so this is a pretty bad picture. and many thanks indeed and her since reporting live from london. the foreign ministers of armenia and azerbaijan are in washington d.c. to meet the u.s. secretary of state separately it's the latest effort to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict in the goto carlebach heavy fighting continued on thursday in a conflict which increasingly threatens to draw in turkey and russia president
4:18 pm
vladimir putin has pressed the need for an urgent truce let's go live now to goddess in southeastern armenia zillah's rory chalons is there really what if anything is expected to come from these meetings today in the u.s. . well i think that even though both these men of gone there to meet with. they're going to be meeting with him separately we don't yet i think know whether they might have a meeting with him together it's unclear in the moment was actually the u.s. can do considering that it is reach in this region is quite poor and of course the u.s. is consumed with the presidential election at the moment i think perhaps what's more pertinent is what russia is doing at the moment russia so far has stayed studiously new chill in this and not shown any inclination to get dragged in. so this conflicts on one side or all the other. it said that it has good relations
4:19 pm
with those countries but it does have a collective security arrangement with armenia so armenians might be forgiven to think that they should be getting a bit more assistance from russia the thing is that russia has never recognized nagorno-karabakh as armenian and that's i think one of the main reasons why does want to get dragged in on the armenian side we have had a plea today from the new corner karabakh presidents who is said we are ask you this is putin directly saying we ask you to make every effort to end the war in the azerbaijani correct. inflict and resume political process is now russia says it might be open to the idea of sending peacekeepers to go on a karabakh but that probably wouldn't go down well with turkey and her daughter said very pointedly today on friday that that turkey has as much rights to be in the solution of nagorno-karabakh as as russia and he hopes that ankara and moscow
4:20 pm
can work together in some way of finding some solution militarily what's the situation on the ground there right now. shortly after the short time ago we spoke to a man who just arrived in gori us he'd come down the road from stepanovich and they're going to carry back through the russian kora door and he was quite shaken up because on that journey that one of the bridges that have been crossing and had been bombed now that's important because it suggests yet again that that's one of the tactical needs of the azerbaijani military to take the latch in colorado what they've been doing so far in this conflict is kind of pushing down to the south of nucor about karabakh through the areas that are media because a sort of buffer zone in the conflict of the $990.00 s. winning back parts of those territory along the iranian border and what they're now
4:21 pm
doing is hooking up towards the latching corridor and the action corridor is vital because it links armenia with move on to karabakh and if the azerbaijan army takes that that would be a huge blow for armenia and people are particularly worried about that here at the moment and 0 as worry chalons live in ghosts in southeastern armenia many thanks rory. dozens of people have been killed in the democratic republic of congo in fighting between government soldiers involved groups in the town of. the army says that it lost 40 soldiers whilst freeing villagers who are being held hostage by $0.05 a separate attack happened in the area of beni where reports say 10 fights as were killed the ministers from fighting armed groups in the provinces of north and south kivu for years in guinea preliminary results from nearly all voting districts indicate the president alpha condé as one of since saturday's election at least 13

4:25 pm
as the birthplace of ice this is the latest it's ever gone without starting to freeze over scientists believe that it's because of a record breaking heat wave in the region and changing waters in the atlantic ocean they're worried the lack of ice will cause chain reactions across the atlantic. just to get your bearings this over here is no way we're kind of looking down here from the north pole and this is the lap to say this picture was taken on september 15th where the ice have retreated to its 2nd lowest level on record now usually by the end of october the ice is hit the coast here of russia again but not this year let's bring in jason talks in copenhagen he's an ice climatologist and professor of bracieux at the place at geologic survey of denmark and greenland good to have you with us jason what are we to make of this hello adrian
4:26 pm
yes what we're talking about here is sea ice that is it's frozen sea water and it's kind of a thin veneer of the caps the arctic ocean and sea itis as in the last 40 years lost half of its mass its the illness and half of its area it is year after extremely persistent heat wave that's affected siberia since since sprint time the fires are across northern siberia is part of the arctic is specially warm and so we see the sea ice effectively reacting to this extremely warm situation in the north coast of siberia and it's a great concern because it's a very shallow sea and underneath that 10 to 40 meter deep water layer is a sea bed that itself contains an enormous store of current i'm concerned any
4:27 pm
more me the sea waters can destabilize the carbon seabed so it would make matters worse what are the implications then for that for the rest of us and climate change it in general is it going to freeze over this year. so this area of open water it's releasing a lot of extra heat into the atmosphere and what that'll do is per head should weight this condition of open water it does probably part of the delay of the return of the frozen sea surface at this time of year it's an example of amplifying feedback when the when we lose it is the sea ice cover in the arctic ocean is this a direct result of climate change yet there's multiple independent
4:28 pm
lines of evidence 10 straight that actually the ice and snow especially in the north a very sensitive to this elevated greenhouse gases that's responsible for global warming it's actually the oceans that are absorbing about 90 percent of that heat imbalance and so part of the. loss is actually melting from below that is the time here we have a record warm atmosphere in northern siberia and that's melting the sea ice from above so it's going to take some time for that to cool off and meanwhile it's releasing more heat into the atmosphere. many thanks dave for being with us. let's get a weather update his evidence. hello there we got some really nasty weather pushing across eastern parts of australia over the next couple of days warnings in force for severe thunderstorms and some very heavy rain that rain could well lead to

people have died after being immunized in recent weeks that's raising safety concerns more than 8300000 people have received the flu shot in south korea this year more now from album from rob mcbride in seoul. this is a very serious development that has many people here quite concerned it has to be pointed out that this public vaccination campaign is aimed at literally millions of people many of them from the vulnerable groups such as the elderly and so to find a very small comparatively number of people actually dime from whatever causes within this massive group would not be statistically i knew usual but it has to be said while many of these people are indeed elderly one of the victims was just 17 years old now the authorities have acted very quickly to assure the public that this teenager's death was not linked to the vaccine but the authorities have accepted that there is concern here and the prime minister friday has ordered that
4:40 pm
there will be now a thorough and very quick investigation into walls of these cases to ensure that none of them are linked to this vaccination campaign the government here as elsewhere in the northern hemisphere as we get into these colder winter months is very much focused on getting through this period keeping on top of covert 19 and getting to a coping 1000 vaccine come the spring now obviously the authorities here are keeping things under control they have not had the kinds of spikes that we have seen elsewhere the day the number of new infections is around 100 sometimes it's less sometimes it's more 'd but the last thing that the authorities want here is to have a so-called twin demick whereby they have a sudden surge in seasonal flu cases which goes messes up its battle against kobe had 19 so it wants to keep this vaccination campaign going on in order for that to happen of course it has to have public confidence in the campaign itself.
