11:09 am
a symbol of protection. but they don't feel safe at this stage still regardless, and they have by and large already left the district a near 30 year old cease fire has been brought to an end and in the disputed territory of western sahara. the pro dependence policy area front as to clear the deal after moroccan troops launched an operation in the region. government authorities deny that any fighting is taking place nor burden manoli reports. a conflict frozen for 3 decades, but never resolved. now a fragile truce in the western sahara between morocco and a pro independence group is under threat. the policies are, of france, has been fighting for an independent states in western sahara. an area where between mauritania to the south america to the north, with a population of around half a 1000000 people. but morocco also claims this vast stretch of desert robot
11:10 am

11:18 am
which is to see one single unified libyan government at the end of it. so you heard there from the former u.n. envoy ghassan salami. he was saying back in march, sating partially exasperate sion at the international community's lack of response, lack of help to facilitate. and so to peace talks really of going forward, these talks are taking place in a, in a bit of momentum from a military ceasefire signed last month. and you heard in the they are see that he's never been more optimistic though, the acting u.n. envoy, stephanie williams, his replacement, she's in tunis and she announced this election planned late last night local time. she actually did that in a briefing with journalists, so that those in miles away in new york. so that's been seen as a bit of a fall power here really because why not? and they insist to the, to the media that is gathered here in tunis for this moment. but that's kind of a small point. really. the big thing is you heard him say there,
11:19 am
the optimism surrounding this and that, and some progress to me. these elections take place though, 6 days of talks in tunis and all of libya's problems. but as stephanie williams, the acting cutting envoy, she says, you know, you've got to try and solve some of the problems because the status quo is intolerable status quo equals 528-0000. that's really what can appoint a longer that 6700000 libyan citizens deserve it. so they're not clear harriet reporting live from to this many thanks to the u.s. president has spoken publicly for the 1st time since alexion loss to joe biden. donald trump updated americans on his response to the coronavirus pandemic, but he also came close to acknowledging he may not be leading the next administration. until now. trump has alleged voter fraud and claimed without have a dence to have won the presidential election. according to some estimates,
