presidential elections in december this is a moment for historic compromise for reaching we've already seen that people are reaching across the divide. you know the guarantee is that what you are doing now will. serve your people libya has been golden conflicts for the last 10 years since an armed revolution toppled longtime leader moammar gadhafi in 2011 and april 2019 just days before a un facilitated national conference warlord khalifa haftar began a military campaign in tripoli with support from egypt russia and the u.a.e. in june 2020 they were forced to retreat towards eastern libya after the un recognized government with turkish support retook western libya. here in tripoli most people are hopeful that this transitional government can make some changes.

a breakthrough and it is following the successful result of the negotiations of the 5 plus 5 the military the joint military committee that led to a cease fire so now we have a cease fire we have a political agreement about elections we have a new transitional authority being put in place or going to be put in place and. it is essential that and i complete the answer that i gave it is essential that all foreign fighters and mercenaries move 1st to tripoli and benghazi and then leave the country according to the new schedule that was the find and it is essential that everybody cooperate with the new or saudis to make peace happen in libya. the international criminal court has ruled that it does have

a territorial jurisdiction of a palestine this bolsters the i.c.c. chief prosecutor is only a submission to the court to investigate alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity by israel and potentially by armed palestinian groups in occupied palestinian territories that includes the gaza strip the occupied west bank and east jerusalem. well in 2019 the itc's chief prosecutor bensouda said she was satisfied will crimes have been are all being committed and she asked the court to determine if she had jurisdiction for an investigation prompting the ruling the palestinians who joined the i.c.c. in 2015 have been asking the court to look into the israeli military actions in the gaza strip in 2014 and also one israel's construction of illegal settlements in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem investigate one idea we spoke to dr susan powell from a lock palestinian human rights organization she says efforts must be made to avoid any further delays to the investigation. i think that

a important thing to know from today the pretrial chamber. creature has never find that day and created a great combination i think so and back at the end of 2019 past the caucasian has already moved into the investigation phase so we can see even a meeting at a coffee shop but she is already infected patients things so i think we are starting to see the prosecutor already has a spine which i can identify pretty often for the prosecution or i'm at the 520 now taken and i think the one thing that we are known to science from that decision today back at creech watching that there might be a protracted process and the types of cases that we've seen coming before the court i thought for years and years and years and once we thought about it for a truck hits that kind of fight but also where we're neither very much in the investigation stage you know to be present and they would be very bright and fast

because as far as we're concerned we have since 2009 with the 1st premium rate nomination really pushed the courts to open investigation without risk 23 years neisha we don't have to wait until we have that. it's weird i'm sure i'm 24 hours pretty common decency and we've been waiting all this time i want nomination. at the end 2019 where over a year we think or i think retrenching but for me we were where we can no longer waste and are there. u.s. president joe biden has urged congress to back his $1.00 trillion dollar pandemic relief plan the house of representatives has approved the budget blueprint and democrats want to possibly final version by the end of the month the american economy is struggling to recover with 10000000 jobs lost at the start of the pandemic still not replaced is our white house correspondent kimberly health. it's

giving you what you usually spend in a bug every 5 once again better than not getting a and i do need it but it's just not a solution right it's stop the bleeding it's not. a large stimulus comes with risk there is fear of unintended consequences like inflation and a weakened american dollar but democrats in congress and the white house believe that right now those risks are worth it if americans can get back to work can really help get al-jazeera washington. the u.s. state of virginia which has historically executed more prisoners than any other state is one step closer to polishing the death penalty both houses of the state legislature have voted to end the practice the governor rather northam says he'll sign the legislation virginia will become the 23rd state to abolish the death penalty which nearly half of americans now oppose. lots more sort of coming our

the west with the prime minister those 2 sides a battle to control libya since 24 to the. international criminal court says it has territorial jurisdiction of a calloused on the i.c.c. as chief prosecutor has been asking the court's permission to investigate alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity by israel and palestinian groups and u.s. president joe biden has urged congress to pass a $1.00 trillion dollars and demichelis plan and outline has been approved in the house of representatives and democrats are hoping to pass a final version by the end of the month. the number of violent deaths in palestinian israeli communities has been rising steadily for years that's despite government promises to tackle the problem activists blame the mixture of organized criminal gangs and lack of action from the police force that has more now from northern israel. as most of israel focuses on the covert crisis for palestinian israelis

a different issue dominates daily life gun violence this what it was captured in january in the northern town of ramallah 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 forty's a promising more engagement and more in force 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 i mean that unfortunately the israeli police treat us as enemies not because of the state just last friday there was a peaceful protests. by the us in front of the police station and the police attacked with extraordinary equipment and force undercover officers it's unacceptable an investigation by the hour it's newspaper in november found that only a 5th of murders in palestinian israeli communities resulted in charges compared to more than half in jewish areas. we face obstacles in the arab society

most importantly we need to make clear that cleaning the crime scene hiding the weapon organizing testimonies not cooperating not informing the police all of these form an obvious barrier to solving murders meanwhile the violence continues thousands took to the streets in the town of tama to mourn the death of another young man a committed jersey was a 23 year old nursing student a bystander killed in crossfire as israeli police in gauged in a gun battle with a gang who were shooting into a nearby house another young life ended in another neighborhood turned into a crime scene ari force at al-jazeera northern israel a digital crackdown by men mars military gentleman protesters organizing online is intensifying after facebook now twitter and instagram are blocked for users in the country. but that hasn't stopped a growing number of people from joining nightly protests for the 5th straight day they're part of a growing civil disobedience movement against myanmar generals who seized in

finding a democratic solution rather than the military using bullying tactics to describe democracy or what we have in the country this time around but what i find very encouraging is a lot of younger people are involved people in there you know in the twenty's even teenagers they they might have heard about 1988 uprising but they they didn't see it like that so to actually see the military coup taking over the country and losing the leaders that they elected. a lot of people on the street a lot of people in the country and i think in the coming you know with the restrictions of the social media i think we will see more and more protests on the straights and i hope that it doesn't escalate. and but of course it's reassuring to know that the international community is what ching but we need them to do more
