in the philippines is blackmailing men from around the world. one on one east uncovered. i was small time sending became a criminal, and on al jazeera, this is al-jazeera 1300 hours g.m.t. here on al-jazeera. hello, i'm kemal santa maria, and this is the news hour. if you know his take or a conflict spills to neighboring eritrea, just over 20000, refugees have fled to sit down. also in the news hand of a day in the going to count about grieving armenians leave their homes for the last time. before i was about john takes control. after 8 weeks of talks, asian countries have signed the world's biggest free trade deal to revive sluggish
4:01 pm
economy this. but in zimbabwe, where they're straining to cope with the pandemic, there are people helping each other out and it's for lewis hamilton is formula one world champion, again, only turkish gone free to secure the title for a record equalling sentenced a little after 4 pm in ethiopia. right now, and there is breaking news gunmen have killed at least $34.00 people in an attack on a passenger bus. this was in the west of the country, the likely the number of dead likely to rise and no indication yet of who carried out the attack or if it is linked to the escalating crisis in the north. that in itself is threatening to destabilize the entire region. the leader of that region has confirmed his forces, launched rockets into eritrea, bringing
4:02 pm
a 3rd country and is threatening to carry out more attacks. this is a home where those who attacked you great will not just attack and return home. we will retaliate while they are here and strike the airports from which they launched attacks. there is no place that we can't reach and we will continue to attack selected targets that the invading forces are using against us. the fear is now facing both eritrean and ethiopian government forces, but prime minister says ethiopia will achieve its goals on its own. he tweeted that those who commit crimes against humanity and peace will be held accountable. and the number of people fleeing the violence into sudan. it's going up at least 20000 now, according to the united nations, as well as the reports of mass of his ethnic profiling in which both sides are accused of atrocities. so a lot to talk about will do with mohammed who's in the city, have gone on the border of the tikrit region 1st of all this bus attack mohammed,
4:03 pm
anything more when he has come out, we're hearing from the european human rights commission that to go for that is just an estimate of the death toll is bound to rise. the gunmen, i think, to have we laid it was heading to the region from the region which is in western. you appear to have killed the passengers who are aboard the bus in a very good friend of the did you know, which is a place that is known for these kinds of visit cuties. them gunmen cutting out like this one on civilians and government officials are saying this is mainly holds by tribal and in most city between rival ethnic groups resident in the area. and a few weeks ago, prime minister ahmed,
4:04 pm
that these gunmen who are cutting out these are talking british angle, what trained in neighboring sudan are not hold on the sudanese government to ensure that areas along the boardwalk of these groups. ok, so we'll leave that them and then focus on the existing conflict in the north. the fact that eritrea is getting drawn into this. now, take a serious thoughts on what that could mean for the conflict as a whole and how eritrea may respond. well, diplomatic sources go to call, it is just how often times before trail becomes fully involved with this conflict. although prime minister said earlier on today that if you have the capability to carry on with the operation only its own and doesn't need help from any quarters., but again, and if china has an axe to grind with the p.l.o.,
4:05 pm
not only has it for a long war, lost that from 1980 to 2000, but the flash point for the conflict, the village of but not by the 2 p.l.o. . but i mean, it's not via that absolutely no objections to eritrea taking but me and making it part of its country according cordons with the ruling of a un affiliated commission, which ruled on the border between eritrea and ethiopia, which yet is not democracy, but that the p.l.f. do not want to happen. so these are the talks as well as already the grievances that have existed between the 2 p.l.f. undersize afford to kill the president of the trail. and now for reasons of a trail to be on a war footing incredibly delicate situation. is now that's mohamed, is in the situation in northern ethiopia. thank you. mohammed. as we mentioned,
4:06 pm
the number of refugees crossing over into sudan keeps growing. haven morgan is there for us, reporting from the region just north of the sudanese ethiopia border. hundreds of refugees continue to arrive here at the reception center. now the center is just about 2 kilometers away from the sudan. if you appear border in sudan and hundreds of refugees have been pouring in here in 200, a perception center with the number reaching up to 90000 just over the past few days alone. now most of them live in conditions like this out in the open with no shelter and no proper sanitation. and this is raising concerns among aid organizations here, especially medics. that this would create a health crisis. medics say that most of the people who are right suffer from chest infections as well as malaria infections due to exhaustion from traveling for days escaping the fighting in the tigra region. most of the refugees was brought in to speak of the same horror saying that they have seen people being slaughtered,
4:07 pm
that they've seen aerial bombardment, which is what made them fear for their lives. here to sudan seeking safety and seeking humanitarian aid. now, medics say that they are quite concerned about the number of refugees and the influx. they say that they're expecting more than $1000.00 over the coming days. and that's just here. and it's what a reception center sudan says that it's expecting a total of up to $200000.00 in the coming week between here in kosovo state and out of state with both border. and it's calling out for the international aid organizations to help respond to what it's calling. it's turning out to be a refugee crisis. have a closer look at the main concerns. it is worried that democratic reforms threaten the current federal arrangement which gives the tikrit region its so forth . one of a status on top of that, the g.p.l. or forms more of a say in ethiopia, future relationship with neighboring. you're a true here to also i think government has unfairly targeted them as part of
4:08 pm
a crackdown on past rights abuses and corruption. some thoughts now from jason mosley, who's a research associate for the african studies center. at the university of oxford in, the u.k. he told us earlier, it is difficult to predict what's going to happen next. there is a lot, we don't know about what's happening. even the reports, you know, the t.p. left claiming attacks. what they were actually able to hit if the attacks actually landed at all anywhere near where they were supposed to. it's been denied by the ice eritrean sources. but with media access, limited, independent corroboration of these kinds of acts is very limited. so it's difficult to say exactly what's happened. we can say however, that the border between eritrea and ethiopia is heavy militarily militarized and has been for 2 decades. so the potential for this to escalate significant events and obviously there and certainly all sides in the conflict with the, you know,
4:09 pm
have incentives to portray what's happening in highly highly fraught terms in order to internationalize it. but for different reasons. so it's very difficult to predict whether the eritrean government feels that it's in a position to push militarily on this. i think the key thing would be to focus on the need to reverse course from this spectacular failure of governance, both on the part of the government and or its integrity and deescalate rather than focus on escalation. let's move on to going to cutback on the 1st transfer of land in that disputed region has happened. part of a deal to end 6 weeks of fighting between armenia and azerbaijan. i mean, is handing over the district of there is anger amongst people living there. it's so deep, in fact, that many set fire to their homes as they left, while the deal's,
4:10 pm
been celebrated by those in azerbaijan. it has led to protests against the armenian prime minister. in addition, armenian state security says it stopped an assassination attempt on police accused . i'm sorry, arrested the former head of state security and 2 others is refusing to step down despite the widespread protests against let's put it all on the map, fuse a reminder, all very thing that's in play and how complicated it can be actually going to cut about the area in red internationally recognized as azerbaijan's territory, but held by armenia since $994.00. and then as we go in, you'll see it is surrounded by disputed areas. over the 6 weeks of finding these areas picked up the territories in yellow, including to go in a car about 2nd biggest city shusha. and then as part of the ceasefire deal, here's what has to happen. armenia has to hand over a cup of joe, which we've been talking about, then also the region and then the district on friday as well. and
4:11 pm
then finally, december 1st, the armenians will hand over this area in district keeping only the corridor or which is a mountain pass connecting the going to come back and armenia, azerbaijan gets a new card or down there, giving back access to its previously isolated territory. the autonomous republic. well let's get more of bill hamid. one of our team on the ground. there she is on the border of the district, the one which was handed over today. thank you 4 hours ago. this road was packed bumper to bumper with people fleeing with their belongings with their life stoke. we saw armenian forces also retreating, oldest military hardware coming out. and then we saw the russian peacekeepers going into the opposite direction towards killed by jar. so the mood as an been very has been quite grim among people here. very few actually wanted to speak to us
4:12 pm
when we told them what's going on. they say, you know what's going on, what do you want me to tell you? has to be said that those armenians who were living by john had moved in by and large in the early 1990 s. after azerbaijan lost that district before that, that district was acting as a majority, as there is, were living there. now, the armenians who are left are heading towards year of and are heading towards other cities and towns in armenia about what's the future going to look like? is the big question. one guy told me that he felt that he was being thrown on to destress and he didn't know how he was going to deal with that. what, where he's going to live, where he's going to put his children at school. basically these people have to start their lives all over again, and it's just early days. there is anger at the prime minister and he called pushing people think that he has handled this very wrongly from the beginning. i
4:13 pm
think it's, we're heading towards a lot of political turmoil and also i think the more districts are going to be handed over. the more it is going to be anger among armenians themselves for a series of a different mood on the ground. and some of been has been finding out he isn't gonna it's a bittersweet moment for people here. they're very happy that they will be able to go back to their land. people about 60000, people at their ease who were living in college or are knowing, are now going to be heading back to their homes. but they are angry and frustrated when they look at those pictures of people taking doors and windows and burning their homes because they say that this wasn't theirs to begin with. it was ethnic a very populated. all of these armenians came from outside and they're looting and destroying what was and so, yes, it is a bittersweet moment for them. we are very close to where col bashar is. we cannot access that area from this side because for the last 30 years,
4:14 pm
the roads have been in disrepair. so the military is allowing very limited security access to its personnel who are going to be going there. and we've been asking them, how will this function, are they going to go in? are they going to secure the borders? is it going to be a very military who is going to be in charge of the various russian peacekeepers are going to come in there, clear the area, and then the azerbaijani border patrol force goes and secure the border between as a by john and armenia and then they restored these area bit by bit infrastructure our infrastructure. we spoke to the landmine commission. they told us that this area is littered with 9 mines and unexploded munitions across the line of contact and in these areas that people are evacuating. so it is going to be months and perhaps years before people can actually go back and rebuild their lives. but it is the 1st step in a process where either by dani's feel that they have won. here's what's coming up for you. supporters of donald trump
4:15 pm
standing firm, as the president conceded all refused to concede the election. and here in authorities launch a criminal investigation into dozens of celebrities who supported protests against police brutality and in sport the world. number one, dustin johnson inside of his 2nd major title, and he is here now an update on the election and u.s. president donald trump seems to have well gone closer to acknowledging that the 1st time that joe biden did actually win the election in the last hour he tweeted this, reacting to a fox news piece, they said he won because the election was rigged. vote watches are observers allowed. tabulated by radical, left, privately owned company, etc, etc, etc. going to the fake and silent media. twitter has already put
4:16 pm
a disputed claim that tweet so roslyn. jordan with us in washington, rosen. you made a very good point yesterday to us that a concession from a sitting president is a formality rather than a legal in the sense city. however, he does seem to be drifting a little closer to the idea of at least saying it publicly. well if he's drifting, he's doing a very, very small job of it because there are other tweets which the u.s. president donald trump, has put out in the last 30 minutes and a caning. that his campaign is still very much interested in challenging the results of the november 3rd and promoting the efforts of his personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, as well as other members of his campaign legal team to challenge the vote results, particularly in battleground states. so again, while it is not a legal requirement, certainly it is something that people in the political sphere have been looking for
4:17 pm
. but i think in context of the other tweets which the president has been putting out on sunday morning, it's not any real public and acknowledgement that he is leaving office on january 20th, rosen. we're just looking at some pictures from yesterday as well. the pro trump movement, which was protesting in washington. anything planned for today is that it is a quiet day. we're able to protest is going it's pretty much over yesterday. i had a very difficult time accessing this location coming into the city even getting to our office building because of all of the massive police roadblocks and those roadblocks continued into the evening today. it's very different. it's a very dull, quiet sunday morning. you can pretty much go almost anywhere unimpeded except for the security of blockades surrounding the white house. those blockades have been in
4:18 pm
place for some time, and i expect they will continue throughout this transition. but it's very quiet, very dull. what you would expect to see on, a typical sunday morning in washington d.c., there are no plans, no announced plans for any other marches or demonstrations. certainly the reports of violence or clashes or riots overnight, really been overblown. basically you had a few people picking fights and the fights starting to get a bit out of control before local police could actually break things up. but when you consider that d.c. police is reporting about 20 people arrested for saturday night in washington. that's about par for the course, and certainly not a 1000000 magen, much as it was, as it was at the times, roselyn jordan in washington. thank you. well, the world's biggest free trade deal has been signed covering nearly a 3rd of the world's population and its economic activity. 15 countries including
4:19 pm
china or japan are now part of the regional comprehensive economic partnership. the united states, notable for its absence from the deal us presidents traditionally attend the summit, but of donald trump doesn't do things by tradition and skipped it for a 3rd year. this is being seen as a triumph for china by far the biggest economy amongst the signatories. it is now position to increase its regional influence in the face of u.s. ice and isolationists. florence larry has more now from kuala lumpur. after 8 years of talks, the regional comprehensive economic partnership or ourselves, is finally signed, meeting virtually because of the pandemic. leaders from 15 countries including china, japan and 10 members of the association of southeast asian nations. and at the agreement in their respective countries. the conclusion of our sept negotiation, the largest free trade agreement in the world, will send a strong message that affirms as
4:20 pm
a leading role in supporting the multilateral trading system, creating a new trading structure in the region. it's an ambitious deal covering nearly 30 percent of global economic output and a 3rd of the world's population. the agreement aims to lower tariffs and open up trade and investment in stages. it will provide a simpler trading framework, meaning businesses won't have to navigate separate requirements to export to different countries. china is the biggest member in the trading block. its importance in the region grew even more after the u.s. led by president donald trump pulled out of the trade pact in 2017. that deal then known as the transpacific partnership or t p. p. would have been the biggest trade deal in the world. analysts say china is now poised to extend its influence even further. that does not mean that things are going to change overnight dramatically
4:21 pm
. but as things unfold over the future and new issues come up, that need to be is going to be one of those platforms that time. and simply because of the member and of course, charmers the largest number does, i think, charmin, a very influential position in the future development of trade in the region. this is also the 1st to free trade deal between rival east asian countries. china, japan, and south korea, the deal falls short in some areas. member states weren't able to agree on some of the provisions on a come us. the agreement also does not include environmentalists protections or set labor standards. the pact will come into force once enough. member states ratified the agreement domestically, a process that could take up to 2 years. florence louis al-jazeera kuala lumpur name is with us now chief market analyst for after trade joining us from london. and we thank you for your time. the fact that this is taken, 8 years of planning and work to get over the line is quite something. and it's also
4:22 pm
interesting because 8 years ago the world was was very different. and certainly the united states' involvement in asia was different and now they're signing it in well, of a transition period out there where we don't really know what relationships will be like going forward. sure things are how i mean, as you correctly pointed out, the u.s. pulled out of this equipment and now is no longer part of this particular agenda. so this leaves china as a move as influential party bit in that. now, there is no doubt that trump administration has done past amount of damage to her to the us status and the dollar. and china is the major beneficiary of this one. if you look at the situation over in europe, we can see that how trade agreements have thrived and how to smaller countries to is stronger countries as well. and this being the, one of the biggest trade agreement over in asia is the very highly likely to change
4:23 pm
the landscape. and this is what market is really betting the market is betting once again on the biggest so rode on this trade agreement. one of our earlier guests spoke to describe the idea as asia trading with asia, which is a really nice simple way of understanding it. and probably a smart way going forward, isn't it? so many countries with so much development and in some countries, a lot of a lot of money to use and to invest. why wouldn't they trade more with each other? absolutely, but at the same time, you have some other big countries which are still not part of this agreement because of the fear around china's dominance and how china can really flood the market with its cheaper goods. and of course i'm reflecting, i'm talking about india overhead, which is not part of this agreement, but countries like pakistan, which is very much on the forefront, i mean the joint relationship with china now with this go other part that can
4:24 pm
become a very intriguing and important relationship for this trade agreement, if it enjoins this, this particular agreement fit in with the rest of the countries. so for sure, asian countries prime in not only in terms of trade, but also in terms of tech opportunities because remember, this particular world is really very lot, much driven by attack. and because it is the presence of this tech machine proves the efficiency that underpin citrate. how much of a threat is this, this deal to europe actually, maybe the threat is not the right word, but how closely does europe need to watch what the countries are doing? i think amount traders and you know, asses. there's enormous current concerns with this one because over in europe, there is no doubt that we have a lack of leadership. of course, the german chancellor angela merkel has done
4:25 pm
a fabulous job over the years. but now, when she will leave the office, how that will read out, because right now all over europe, we are looking more protective policies. what the u.s. has done an america 1st and then values pretty much just stands over here and with the rise of left and right wings over here. there is this concern that ok, perhaps these free trade flows that we have been enjoying it for the last years. images of out the european economy mean longer may normal or be that because countries that shift all in and several of the smaller countries are disfarmer, a decision disadvantage. and then they don't want to be even part of a european currencies. of course, poland is not part of the current of the eurozone currency, but other countries within the euro zone, the are complete going completely against and that was very much driven by the
4:26 pm
trunk administration, the narrative that trump was beating on it. but now of course, with by them coming into the office and biden's administration, the stance can change. but think of this as a ship in a sea. it cannot change its direction, cannot make e.u. 10, you know, quickly joining us from london today to talk. and we thank you for your time. thank you. a criminal investigations been launched in nigeria into 50 celebrities who support the protests against police brutality. they've been accused of promoting the end sols demonstrations. a court has sought to determine whether they are responsible for property damage during the rallies. football players and journalists are among those named these are in the mass protests last month, hoping for an end to police brutality by the special anti robbery squad themselves . and not just celebrities, under pressure from nigerian authorities,
4:27 pm
human rights watch, says activists and media organisations are also being suppressed. prominent supporters of the movement of had their bank accounts for reason of to be accused of financing. terrorism 3 media channels have been fined for broadcasting footage of soldiers shooting protesters. government officials say the video was manipulated, and people who demonstrate on the streets are often subject to heavy handed police tactics. that is tear gas, water cannon and live ammunition, which have all been used as and yet they won from human rights watch their nigeria researcher in a budget. he says, threats against protesters make it difficult for people to trust the government. it's just straight out of the kid book that is intended to suppress critical voices . and it's just quite worrying for a country like nigeria that's supposed to be on the past. so to towards that democratic consultation for us to see the actions being
4:28 pm
taken by laurentiis against legitimate calls for council, which many people to want to even under the umbrella of the end stocks. i think that it does not instill or engender any sort of trust from the citizens. and at this point, many people are really questioning, you know, the broader issues of, you know, impunity, malfeasance in it, in governance. and you know, just the ability of the authorities to use critical state regulators to spread that in its interests. and it's, it's, it's, it's really topical at this point. anything new to the i tunes, we don't see protests going out on the streets anymore. essentially because of the response from the authorities and continue trip against protesters as well as prominent people supporting the police as we're still seeing this conversation
4:29 pm
continue on on our fun site. so it's on social media and we're seeing what is now a general consensus, especially amongst young people that they need to the forefront of politics right now. they have to fix nigeria's politics. before we take a break on the news are, here's a look at the weather with probably going to the caribbean again to watch our, which is the 30th named storm of this record breaking season. and her turn is now a hurricane. she says over open water at the moment, but it's heading in the same direction as he took the results of interest to visible in honduras and evacuations in nicaragua and honduras taking place. as a result of this is a compulsory evacuations, even though they look quite difficult. and the reason is fairly simple. iota as a hurricane is heading in the same direction for almost the same sort of landfall. and this is just 10 days off to you to hit the same place. with these wind speeds,
4:30 pm
it's a major hearkened category 4. that is worse than eater. so the wind damage, the potential wind damage is worse, but the rainfall potential about the same a half to 3 quarters of a meter of rain on top of what's just happened and you saw the results of that. so you can see why there are a compulsory evacuations, you can see why they're worried. now, 310 days ago it was across here, but since then the steering forces on these hurricanes and they have in the middle atmosphere have changed. and this thing with, oh, it will spend most of tuesday going to nicaragua and into honduras. well then start to turn down towards the other coast towards el salvador. so bad it will be, but it will follow a different direction. thank you. rob for that, here is what we've got ahead for you. a pandemic, a hurricane and demick violence, mexico struggling in the face of 3 major crisis. this also, egypt makes a dazzling discovery, an ancient treasure trove, dating back more than 2000 years. and in sports,
4:31 pm
the 1st finalist decided for this season's pakistan super league, and it's got cricket action a little later. frank assessments, if american public opinion pieces betrayed by social media platforms after november 1 would be. because if you believe that there are corrosive to our democracy, one obvious solution is to break an informed opinion. lucas and his dog. anyway, the protesters aren't going anywhere either. with a revolution people in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines, coas, it, that's really out there on the street inside story on al-jazeera to drive their industrial expansion and european powers colonised, huge areas of the world rich resources. so free labor and fast lands were exploited in the name of civilization and wealth until the colonies decided that had to knock
4:32 pm
in a new 3 part documentary series. al-jazeera explores the district suffering and legacy of france's imperial past. not in tears french to colonise ation. coming soon, who are lower class this is the news hour from al-jazeera on these the top stories gunmen have attacked a bus in western ethiopia, killing at least 34 people. ethiopian human rights commission says the number of people killed. it is likely to rise over the cage and yet, if this is linked to the conflict in the north and to great region, speaking of which the leader of that region is concerned, his forces launched a rocket attack on the airport in eritrea's capital of ethiopian government. forces
4:33 pm
began an offensive into great 11 days ago. 'd and the 1st transfer of land in the disputed region of going to cut a buck has happened as part of a deal to end the fighting between armenia and azerbaijan. many people living in set fire to their homes as they moved. we're going to check in on the elections in moldova now where people are back at the voting booths for a presidential runoff. the contest has been divisive between the pro russian incumbent ego don and the former leader, my asunder who favors closer ties with europe. sunday finished ahead in the 1st round. and we've got some new guy, hugo reporting for us now from if sunday finished ahead in the last round. does that automatically say a front runner in this in this runoff on well, it certainly decided that she was going to be
4:34 pm
a stronger candidate out of the 2 going into the 2nd round horse. it is still too early to tell. but in his what is obvious now is that you've had a 40 percent turnout already, not just for the electorate of moldova, but also within the diaspora as well, which is quite a strong sign really of people's desire to want to vote for their candidate. be it eagle doggone or be it my a son do as well. it was interesting to note is that moldovans who are in the diaspora will be more likely to vote for my a sunday. she is the pro western canada that she is the candidate who said that her imperative would be to try and control the amount of corruption or rather to tackle it and to dry and bring as much work back into moldova as possible. therefore, making it a better place so that the country doesn't have as much of a brain drain is constantly hemorrhaging lots of people who are going to other
4:35 pm
countries to find work. just simply because the economic situation here has been challenging to say the least that is one of europe's poorest countries as well. and corruption is a huge problem as a political problems to say the least eagle dawn has fought back those charges from his opponent. he says that he represents a unifying voice against that, but he's also really talking from fundamentally who the person who is backing him, which is putin in moscow as well. he is. he has close relations with moscow. there are alleged sort of aid that has been taken place between the russian advises to his party as well. and so there is that source of tension which bubbles up here. and that will be really whether moldova does decide to remain within russia,
4:36 pm
sphere of power, or rommel joven is going to look at alternative ideal as it were to meet that country forward. thank you for that update their son. you're going to go my apologies, i believe i might have said he from my asunder only one of course. i mean, she's turkey's president has arrived in the self declared republic of northern cyprus, project type or 2 on will be meeting the newly elected leader, who opposes reconciliation with the island's greek. self are expected to discuss turkey's dispute with greece of a territorial rights in the eastern mediterranean. the e.u. threatened sanctions against turkey for its oil exploration in disputed waters. talks aimed at ending nearly a decade of violence in libya have been extended for a 7th day. rival factions meeting in capital of agreed to hold nationwide elections in december of next year, delegates negotiating the appointment of an interim government as well. clear harriet's in tunis covering these talks. and you were saying earlier, clear that it wasn't actually known why the talks were extended,
4:37 pm
but could it be seen as a positive move that they want to keep talking after they've already achieved quite a bit. the kid indeed had to be seen that way. actually, what we are expecting will happen to be is that the united nations sponsors top sponsor talks will wrap up here in tunisia. what we think has been on the agenda today is that these 75 delegates have been discussing mechanisms for selecting a prime minister and 2 deputy prime ministers, as well as some other posts. you know, the elections were announced already by the united nations that, that would take place. one hopes on the 24th of december, 2021. that's the date. it's been in ones. so these interim positions are exactly that interim force that will be in position until that date when the people of libya will choose who they want in those positions. now an interesting thing that
4:38 pm
has happened today is that the women taking part in the conference have released a statement. and that statement broadly as sarah's what they want to be the ambitions for women in libya and significantly it states that one of the 2 deputy prime ministers should be a women. another clause in that document refers to special protection for women, particularly social activists. it's not clear what special protection in this context means, but you have to wonder if that's a reference to the killing on tuesday of a woman called her man al bassy. she was a lawyer and you spoke in critic of some of the actions of the armed groups in the east, and she was shot dead in broad daylight in benghazi. now as you would expect, the acting un special envoy, stephanie williams, condemned the violence for her part. she has got into these talks with
4:39 pm
