minister until the elections in december the decision was announced by the u.n. envoy stephanie williams i am pleased to witness this historic moment. the in. the importance of the decision that you have taken here today will grow with the half time. in the collective memory of the libyan people. this process you are proud has come a long way from when we 1st convened you virtually in october of last year. ok we'll cross to train in tripoli in a moment 1st to our diplomatic editor james bays who's been following the u.n. back to vote from there james it's quite complex it's quite dense unpack it for us

what does it really mean for the country. it is an optimistic moment libya has a new temporary government agreed by what the u.n. would say was a representative group of libyans brought together yes by the un handpicked by the u.n. but they voted they came up with a slate of candidates for people who will be the presidency council or a slate that come from across the political divide in libya and their job their only job is to govern the country and get the country ready for proper elections elections of one person one vote which is going to take place at the end of the year this could be historic it could be a great achievement it depends whether in libya there or thorough t. will be accepted by everyone and they will be able to do the job that they have now been given this could well be an end to the conflict in libya or the start of the end to the conflict in libya but and the big but is we have been here before

the security agreement to 2015 came up with an interim government that led to nothing other than another power base fighting with the existing power bases will it be different this time i think certainly the people of libya the ordinary people of tired of the conflict it's almost now just a few days short of the 10th anniversary of the uprising in libya and perhaps some of the foreign players that have been involved in libya that have even sent forces to libya now believe it's time to put the country on a more stable footing it's been a few months since the u.n. could've laid claim to a diplomatic breakthrough james you think the u.n. and diplomats will be giving themselves a quiet pat on the back there. oh absolutely there will be real real joy here u.n. headquarters on the 38th floor where the secretary general antonio terrace resides

where his office is i think he would be very very pleased by this but they know there's been so many false storms in libya yes i'm sure he's going to issue a statement in the next hour or so and i'm sure in the coming days it always takes them rather a long time to agree their words we'll hear something similar from the u.n. security council but they're not crowing about this they know that there's a lot of hard work ahead and libya still has a difficult journey ahead of it james thanks very much james bays our diplomatic editor reporting live there from the u.n. in new york live now to the heart of the story tripoli our correspondent there malik trainer so malik we've got 4 new names to get to grips with here as part of the tapestry of libyan politics give us a thumbnail sketch please who are they and what does it do to the center of gravity of politics in the country. well we now have a 3 member presidential council who will be headed by mohamed and one of the he's

a former diplomat and a former ambassador to greece he's from eastern libya we also have a deputy from the south in the in the presidential council koni he is he was a former ambassador and he was also a deputy in the presidential council under 5 is sort of raj from western libya we have a lefty who is a former m.p. member of parliament and of course of the he did originally from the coastal city of misrata which is a a big military source of power for western libya so it is bringing in a variety of libyans not as controversial as the other list the other list of course contain. who is a speaker of the eastern based parliament and. who is

a minister of interior here in western libya so much more low 'd key much more subtle don't be able to comfortably travel inside libya and be able to engage the various stakeholders in libya so i think this is a win for the libyans i mean most libyans are hoping that a united government can take place and 10 a lead to real lections the majority of libyans want to see a lections and to the un's credit this was a very transparent and clear process and people really i believe enjoyed watching this transparent vote take place in libya but there are some criticisms there are of course you know militias both in western and eastern libya those who have military power whether or not they will accept the results is not yet known. i'm sure many most libyans hope that they will and this will lead to

a lections at the end of the year ok malik we must leave it there many thanks we'll talk later i'm sure monitoring our correspondent there reporting live from tripoli let's get more detail on where we are now with this process of political transition in libya now once the caretaker administration is in place the eastern government based into brooke and the u.n. recognize government in the capital tripoli will dissolve ending nearly a decade of national division the new 3 member presidential council will be responsible for preparing the nation for a general election in december but the issue of foreign fighters does remain the u.n. special representative in libya estimates up to $20000.00 turks russians syrians sudanese and chatty and are still there inside the country let's bring in claudia xeni she's a senior libya analyst at the international crisis group she joins us on skype from claudia welcome back to the news or listening to malik our correspondent there

reporting live from tripoli it sounded like a little bit of a geography lesson we've got one guy from the east one guy from the south and one guy from the west was that part of that the whole dynamic behind choosing these 3 individual people if you get them from different geographical locations everyone can feel that they're a stakeholder in this process going forward. yes from the outset the process was designed and the delegates of this u.n. backed forum had agreed that the new presidency council would have representatives from libya's 3 historical regions and then there was also an assumption if that well which was prime minister if he was from western libya then the head of the council would be from eastern libya so in this sense we have good job graphical representation but i think the problem here which which we need to emphasize is that this is a list that one headed by mr r.t.

being a bad business man is going to make a lot of people unhappy in libya and outside libya that's because the losing list was was a list that we saw on current perhaps more invested in cairo and even paris more invested in because it was a list that had individuals that had close ties to these captured swears that when the list is a new list entirely without direct ties to foreign powers but is that a good thing in as much as there is going to be a general election towards the end of this year in theory in december and people looking in on this process stakeholders either inside the country or outside the country are perhaps more interested in who ultimately ends up running the country after after december as opposed to these 3 individuals who let's be clear of being appointed just because they're a safe pair of hands and perhaps a little bit safe

a little bit perhaps dare i say dull because that's maybe what the country needs between now and december it doesn't need another firebrand military guy who wants to be a politician. yeah i think this you know this less was chosen more not so much as an endorsement for the less but i think they won more as a reaction to the other list meaning they won because the vote was for no for the other list but let me be clear the path towards election is not going to be smooth in fact for this government this lineup these 4 men to to take seat and take power they still need to overcome other hurdles remember the process and the u.n. acting representative underscored this in today's remarks the process images that these 4 men still have to get parliamentary approval so they have 20 with the prime minister has 21 days to form a cabinet and present it to this h o

r and remember the h o r is a divided institution since 2015 so the challenges for the next 20 min the next 21 days to get actually the house of representatives to meet as a whole to have them endorse the cabinet that is proposed and then the question is what happens if they don't in theory the matter goes back to this group of $75.00 delegates handpicked by the u.n. to decide on what steps to be taken next so it's not going to be a smooth transition necessarily and i think we also have to wait and see how hot are you staying that based military commander reacts to this list because the eastern representative in this list as far as we know is not huffed our support whereas the process was designed to in a certain sense reassure that their campaign reassure the international bankers and the other can't but somewhat they would have a representative in this new governing council so there could be troubles ahead ok

i'm glad you mentioned to leave her after there claudia that was partly my next question will was talk about libya we always talk about the east of libya therefore we also always talk about holy father after this point looking forward to those elections to sisi himself do you think as a potential king maker or does he see himself as a king. it's hard to tell i mean we've we hear a vigil close to him that say that he you know still runs to run in the elections but he's old he's also just recently remarried so his priorities could be somewhat different at the moment but again these elections in order to get by december we need to have a functioning parliament that passes rollers we need to have an agreement on how to hold these elections we have to have an agreement on what actions to hold so so really the problem is not whether the have to are ones to run or not in the future

elections but how does a country move towards elections and that is still a big. a big open questions and a lot of hurdles you need to be a result ok we must leave it there claudia because he me and rome always good to get your opinions on what's going on in libya claudia if you talk to us over thank you very much. lots more still to come for you here on the news including sweeping new guidelines bringing in beijing's controversial national security law into hong kong schools. gun violence and gang crime palestinian israelis say they are the targets and the police are ignoring their plight. and the australian open champion novak djokovic suffers defeats in his warm up event and serbia's a.t.p. cup defense comes to an end that's coming up with in sport in about 30 minutes.

to the states are financing a foreign policy research at this time yesterday the u.s. president joe biden is turning his attention to an economy hit by of course coronavirus the u.s. is that had fewer jobs than had been expected with its economy only gaining $49000.00 new jobs last month the. unemployment rate fell to 6.3 percent from 6.7 percent in the previous months president biden is calling on congress to pass a $1.00 trillion dollar package that would include 1400 dollars of a stimulus check for qualifying americans the senate has just signed off on the plan it now goes back to the house of representatives for a final vote for more on this let's go to our white house correspondent kimberly hellcat in washington can we can we just talk about the jobs figures 1st why are they still going in not the right direction well there are 2 reasons

for that well actually it's one big reason with a couple of facets of the reason is covert 19 and the fact that the infections are still high there's this new strain now entering the united states and so there are still lockdowns in place there's still closures in place which means that people are not getting their jobs back to work in the hospitality sector to work in restaurants the bottom line is that in march when the economy shut down that's roughly 22000000 jobs that disappeared overnight and only about half of them have come back so when you see this new jobs report and it's just plus $49000.00 jobs it shows you just how far things still need to go so that's very discouraging his economists had hoped that this $6.00 now $6.00 percentage unemployment rate would improve significantly but it didn't so it's discouraging news but still this new white house says that it's got a plan to bring jobs back and to build the united states back better and when it

comes to the stimulus package that the bite and ministrations so clearly wants can they bring this one in to land this time around because not very long ago the republicans were dead set against a lower individual one off payment to individual americans and yet they seem to be on the verge of giving it the green light for a bigger amounts of money. the republicans seem to be keen on this lower figure member we're talking about $2000.00 on the campaign trail now we're settling in at $1400.00 the bottom line is that republicans want to see something targeted but doesn't really matter anymore as of about 530 this morning local time what republicans think because they've basically been cut out of the process through legislative maneuvering i won't get into all the ins and outs of that but the bottom line is when you democrats control the white house they control the house of representatives and they control the senate with kumble harris deciding a tie vote which she did at 530 this morning so the legislative groundwork has been

laid out that even if they can't agree which we've been seeing for years it doesn't matter anymore so this is the green light kind of laying the stage if you will for joe biden to push through this $1.00 trillion dollars package and very quickly it's going to contain when it's ultimately passed and he signs it into law $1400.00 in stimulus checks which many republicans are saying is this a good idea because the last time we gave money ever were just put into their savings accounts we need this money to go into the economy that's not exactly what we're hoping for the other thing that this will contain is a raise ultimately to a $15.00 an hour minimum wage for federal workers or also just sort of the federal unemployment rather minimum wage rate and then finally there will be payments of $400.00 a month or rather a week lot of numbers here until september for those who are still unemployed so

it's got a lot of potential and it appears it will ultimately go through now that the democrats control the reins not very quickly democrats from capitol hill are discussing with the white house as we speak how this is going to play out and we're going to hear from the president himself coming up at 645 where he's going to give us a better understanding of how he sees this moving forward ultimately landing into the wallets of americans and into the u.s. economy. across that i'm sure in the meantime thanks very much can be held in washington. now from the middle of this month february 15th people traveling to the u.k. from the red list countries will have to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days the government is asking who tells nia c. and airports to join the scheme but there are concerns about capacity let's speak to him bob a correspondent who's at london's heathrow airport there just west of london it

feels as if an awful lot of hotels near places like heathrow airport are going to be filling up very quickly. well they are if the government actually gets its plan in place it's far from clear exactly how much progress they've made just in the last couple of hours the u.k. government has admitted no contracts have been awarded yet they're trying to block book thousands of hotel rooms at airports like heathrow here other london airports are places like mine to stay at glasgow at imbra very busy places on seaports as well the idea is that from monday the 15th all u.k. residents arriving from $33.00 countries on the so-called red list will have to go into quarantine at their own expense and around $110.00 a night at a hotel near where they are rife for 10 days there will be security guards to chaperone them if they go outside they will get all of their meals paid for and so

on but it is a big inconvenience not only thought a lot of hotels a saying we need to know how it's going to work even now the day a day on from the announcement which hit the government has been criticised for delaying i mean boris johnson the prime minister said that this would be coming in last week and just in the last few hours the head of one london hotel group has said that the 10 days won't be enough time for them to put in all of the safety measures to comply with code that 19 restrictions necessary to take part of the hotel groups are saying they don't know how it's going to work the government is defending its approach saying it needs to get things right from the start the opposition labor party says the start should have come much earlier they're saying that $21000.00 people are still arriving in the country per day with an inadequate

quarantine system due to what they call government incompetence and they're pointing out that the south african variant was known about 50. he days ago but it's only just now that this team is actually being put in place and for anyone nadine who has to go through this process it will be quite a weird experience because we understand that the plans do include guards security type guards on hotel corridor orders you know you won't be able to step aside to go to the gym go for a run smoke a cigarette make phone calls or meet your friends once you're in that hotel bedroom that's where you are and that's where you stay. correct peter but that is a system which we have seen in place in many countries and in fact the u.k. government has been discussing how to run it with australia and new zealand a government minister here has said that hindsight is

a wonderful thing. pushing back against critics who say that the government could have learnt lessons from other countries but i think it's a fair criticism to say that if you're going to discuss the systems that other countries have already put in place and to see where they're here where they have worked well and where they have not worked well but it's a good idea to actually learn from those rather than say well we're doing all we can you know it's a very it's a very questionable. words to use hindsight when the government easing in discussions with other countries on what lessons can be learnt the governments under pressure but people for months have been asking why the borders on closed or why they are more tightly controlled for people arriving here in the u.k. of course the government now says that it's on top of not just the previous virus but the mutation such as the one from south africa and brazil but its own

scientific advisors it now has emerged are saying that a full closure is the only way to really get on top of any new variants thank you very much for their reporting live from heathrow airport. now the b.m.j. the british medical journal has published a scathing editorial on the global covert 19 response likening it to murder and says the actions of some politicians amount to premeditated and reckless indifference to human life the authors call for leaders to be held to account for the 2000000 people worldwide have died they suggest that the remit of institutions like the international criminal court could be broadened to cover state failings in pandemics. there being protests across me in ma a neighboring countries today as demonstrators continue to push back against the military coup one of deposed leader sun suu cheese close aides was arrested when

how i did concern and trade today did have appealed to his release on to launch the governing procedure investigation of the case by. but the google has repeatedly said this no doctors have found neither russia nor german civilian doctors have found the thing that was allegedly seen into his body the nerve agent novacek was only discovered by german military doctors which says a lot. well meanwhile alexina valmy is back in court again today he's accused this time of defaming a world war 2 veteran who appeared in a video promoting russia's constitutional referendum novelli described a number of the people in the video as quote corrupt hacks. to moscow and reports of their alexandra alexandra what did these diplomats do to annoy the kremlin the ones who are being ejected. well.

or rather the minister of foreign affairs of russia claims that the 3 diplomats from poland sweden and germany participated in an authorised rallies on the 23rd of january so that's the 1st 3 areas that were organized across to russia after election of ali i returned from germany where he was being treated for being poisoned so they're saying that they participated in these rallies and that that is unacceptable and unsuitable for diplomatic status and apparently georgia was a but i was informed about this during his talks with lavrov and he condemned this and of called in moscow to rethink this action action saying that the diplomats did not breach the vienna convention so but the russia with this actually is the rising stakes wanting to send a very clear message that they're not going to listen to the messages in the requests coming from e.u. regarding that exene are violated guarding his court hearings or regarding demonstrations in the rallies here in russia or the number of the danes the people

and how they were treated this comes after moscow expressed of annoyance or were diplomats present at the hearing on it saying of riley earlier this week there were 14 diplomats most of them from the e.u. plus diplomats from japan and this was called a political action and from the minister of foreign affairs of russia we heard that that is not at all diplomatic presence of directives to be present in such a court cases but rather our political mesh message and we do hear days days and in the past that with russia things is that any remarks considering the facts in a vial need and the actions are actually staking in this regard are taught to be meddling into their domestic affairs and they're clearly saying that they're not going to take that brief here and xander not only is in court again today what'll come out of this appearance this time. well this is a different court case it is about defamation of our world war 2 veteran in

a video actually in a comment to this didio he did not specifically mentioned these men and to date his men was present and so it's a frail man of 95 and he is the relatives are claiming that he was deeply disturbed by being called a corrupt head and a traitor which was a comment that i need posted on this now the court to ease now has withdrawn and they are going to continue next somewhere next week this is a case that i need things and his supporters also sort of like a political think against him to show him as as a vile man a man that their defense veterans of the 2nd world war which here in russia are highly respected people because this is a very sensitive subject and the one that is that he used of sending and slandering of world war 2 veteran cannot expect sympathy from the from the wider public and

this is what the opposition thinks that's why they picked at the prosecutor this men and not the other people from this video alexander thank you very much alexandra gold for the. world reaction coming in all the time to that research reported this time yesterday here on the news our foreign policy research from president joe biden's new administration is promising to end support for offensive operations in yemen saudi arabia responded by saying it supports a political solution the kingdom also welcomed mr biden's commitment to defend its territorial integrity it's come under attack from missiles fired across the border from yemen so these former coalition partner is eager to see an end to the war of the who's who say they would be deceived by statements and real peace will only come when the aggression and harm at our top has more from santa. they have received such remarks with different feelings and mixed with reactions the whole

thesis here of official mohammad i hope he says that the. remarks couldn't make a difference in yemeni less the saudi war is what he describes how the war is ended and also the blockade is left that he asserted that there are more important issues that the that should be implemented by the new administration the other senior official the head of the negotiating team has described that there is also an important issue that the yemenis many many millions of yemenis have pinpointed to the poverty line so the situation is really difficult and many hope that the new administration will bring to yemen peace and security palestinian man has been shot down near an illegal settlement of the occupied west bank the israeli army says the man tried to break into a home close to ramallah there are around $250.00 illegal settlements on the hilltops of the west bank. the number of violent deaths in palestinian israeli

communities has been rising steadily for years now despite government promises to tackle the problem activists blame a mixture of well armed and organized criminal gangs and a lack of action from the police force that has more from northern israel. as most of israel focuses on the covert crisis for palestinian israelis a different issue dominates daily life gun violence this footage was captured in january in the northern town of omar farm in the moments after its latest killing 21 year old mohammed was shot dead on his doorstep he just returned from a protest against violent crime he was the 4th member of his extended family to be killed in just 18 months the family say they don't know why they've been targeted muhammad's cousin and anti-crime activist says it's up to the police to provide the answers. there is c.c.t.v. there is d.n.a.

i don't need to teach them their job even if they can find all the evidence 50 percent will be there search and ask and investigate this is your job not mine it's a long running accusation by palestinian israelis that negligent law enforcement allows crime gangs freedom to operate in their towns and villages 2020 was the deadliest year for many with $96.00 violent deaths in our communities there is general agreement about one thing an epidemic of violent crime is sweeping palestinian israeli society not for the 1st time your forties a promising more engagement and more enforcement the israeli prime minister who unusually has been campaigning for palestinian israeli votes in next month's election has pledged an overhaul of policing an investigation promising to target the violence in the same way as terrorism or more farms mayor says previous such promises have failed to make a difference let's also that sort of you know that i mean that unfortunately the israeli police treat us as enemies not because of the state just. last friday there
