presidential elections in december this is a moment for historic compromise for reaching we've already seen it 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 u.n. recognized government with turkish support retook western libya here in tripoli most people are hopeful that this transitional government can make some changes.

the government will have a large task at hand it will not be easy we hope they will be able to make some changes because it's such a short term i doubt they'll be able to do. the only thing we want from this government is for it to bring the selections we want the decision through who holds power to return to the people although hopeful some have doubts that the elections can take place so the last government was supposed to stay in power for one year but they've been in power for over 5 years we hope they stick to their promise and help the average citizen and provide basic services after years of violence and political divisions most libyans want something to believe in and to hope for and for now many hope that this new transitional government can leave a reconciliation process and bring about elections now trainer al-jazeera. but more now on what exactly has been decided delegates to u.n.

brokered talks chose a diplomat from the east mohammed al men feel to have the presidency council and a businessman from the west the baber as prime minister but once the caretaker administration is in place the eastern government based into brooke and the u.n. recognized government in the capital tripoli with both dissolved ending nearly a decade of division a new 3 member presidential council will be responsible for preparing the nation for general elections in december but the issue of foreign fighters remains the u.n. special representative in libya estimates up to $20000.00 turks russians syrians sidney's and chaldeans are still present al-jazeera is diplomatic editor james bays asked the u.n. secretary general antonio the tears our domestic libyan should be about the deal. secretary general if i could ask you to put today's developments in the context of lit libya's recent history it's almost exactly 10 years since the start of the uprising in libya there have been so many false storms for the people of libya do

you believe now this is the breakthrough i do believe it is 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 poll says the i.c.c. chief prosecutor has earlier 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 i.c.c. as chief prosecutor bensouda said she was satisfied that war crimes have been or are 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 israeli military actions in the gaza strip in 2014 also one israel's construction of illegal settlements in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem investigated. when audio we spoke to dr susan follower from a lock that's a palestinian human rights organization she says efforts must be made to avoid any

further delays to the investigation i think the important thing to know from today the pretrial chamber at creech has never find that the present great foundation has been close and back at the end of 2019 past prosecution has already moved into the investigation phase so we can see even a meeting that the prosecution or canal and sessions already infected patients things so i think we are starting to see the prosecutor already has fines which have been identified by the office or the prosecution or i am at the fire now taken and i think the one thing that we are concerned surprised from the decision today in fact preach watching for fact that there might be a protracted process and. types of cases that we've seen coming before the court has on for years and years and years and what we thought went for trackage that

kind just picking fights but also where we're neither very much in the investigation stage. presence and they will be very very concerned with 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 when that was killed 3 years neisha we don't have to wait on shows we have that have to wait on chess and 2015 hours for the 2nd preliminary ringback examination or from and we think waiting all of the time i was preparing nomination pillow at the at the end just 2019 where over a year waiting for at the pretrial chain but you make the decision and we would say we can no longer waste any surprise there. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says any investigation by the i.c.c. into its affairs would be a perversion of justice for the i.c.c. investigators will fake war crimes this is pure anti semitism the court

established to provide to trust that he's not the nazi holocaust against the jewish people is not targeting the one state of the jewish people 1st it outrageously claims that when jews live in a room and this is a war crime circuit it claims that when democratic israel defends itself against terrorists who murder our children rocket our cities we're committing another war crime yet the i.c.c. refuses to investigate brutal dictatorships like iran and syria who committed to refute atrocities almost daily is prime minister of israel i assure you we will fight this perversion of justice with all our might well the u.s. state department reacted the object thing to the i.c.c. his decisions saying that we do not believe the palestinians qualify as a sovereign state and therefore are not qualified to obtain membership as a state or participate as a state and international organizations entities or conferences including the

i.c.c. . and the u.s. state department is also intending to drop its terrorist designation for yemen's who think this comes after president biden highlighted the need to find a diplomatic solution to the war in yemen during his 1st major foreign policy speech who things were labeled terrorists by the trumpet ministration but humanitarian groups warn this could affect crucial aid deliveries. yes president joe biden has a congress to back his $1.00 trillion dollars pandemic relief plan the house of representatives has approved the budget blueprint and democrats want to pacify nl version by the end of the month the american economy struggling to recover with 10000000 jobs lost at the start of the pandemic still not replaced is a white house correspondent can really help it. it's a nearly 2 trillion dollar economic plan designed to rebuild the u.s. economy decimated since back in march due to the spread of code 19 this is about people's lives biden's plan includes direct payments to struggling americans of
