alliances save the iran nuclear deal and take on russia and china. not backing down thousands of protesters rally across the unmanned demanding an end to be true to his anti cool demonstrations and. heavy rain triggered severe flash floods in the indonesian capital jakarta forcing hundreds to leave their homes. and syria has seen parts of a confidential u.n. report which finds donald trump's ally and private security contractor erik prince violated an arms embargo on libya the report to the security council reveals how prince said foreign mercenaries and weapons to warlord holly for health are in 2019 when he was fighting against the internationally recognized government in tripoli kristen salumi reports from washington d.c.

. erik prince is best known as the founder of blackwater security a private contractor whose employees were implicated in the killing of 17 iraqi civilians in 2007 he's also a prominent supporter of former president donald trump and brother to former education secretary betsy devadasi. but it's his role in a malicious assault on the internationally recognized government of libya in 2019 that's now a question al-jazeera has seen excerpts of a 121 page report submitted to the u.n. security council and 1st reported by the new york times alleging prince help supply a trove of weapons including attack helicopters to the military's commander khalifa haftar are in violation of a u.n. arms embargo on libya it also alleges he deployed a force of foreign mercenaries to help attack was condemned by u.s.

secretary of state mike pompei oh this won't be resolved through force of arms it's just no way that's going to take place we there's a u.n. process we've been part of that and a half stars been part of that we urge them to have started stand down move back to the negotiating table so that we can get a political resolution in libya the day after pompei are made that statement president trump made a phone call to have to are raising eyebrows in the ire of some members of congress an official readout of the call said that the president quote recognized field-marshal hafter significant role in fighting terrorism and securing libya's oil resources and the 2 discussed a shared vision for libya's transition to a stable democratic political system what many saw as a contradiction of official u.s. policy. the un report raises a question not only of whether or not a close associate of the president violated an international arms embargo but also

of whether or not the president himself was complicit in defying a stated u.s. policy kristen salumi al-jazeera washington. to its impact is the founder of libya and now assists he says the findings of the u.n. reports go deeper than just erik prince. i would look at eric prince's policy as the shadow foreign policy of not trump but particularly jarrett questioner because it's the nexus between jared questionnaire the emma roddy's particularly m.b. said and erik prince who made policy outside of the formal channels of the state department of defense department and that characterized trump policy towards many different conflicts biden is going to be keen just to refer to consensus policy done within our formal institutions the defense department in the state department and he's not going to want to prosecute all of the illegal actions that

happened under his predecessor because there are many both in foreign and domestic policy what's fascinating is that the reporter that europe has private access to as well as the new york times doesn't mention jarrett questioner and this is really a policy where prince was not acting on his own he was acting at the behest of terror questioner who wanted to see an ember roddy ally emerge victorious and the muslim brotherhood suffered defeat this entire mercenary operation was a failure it may have conned have to are into paying $80000000.00 but he never got the helicopters and the mercenaries left benghazi within 2 weeks of having arrived and it tipped the scales of the fighting so what's relevant is that this points out how incompetent people like erik prince are and they're not able to project power into even 3rd world backwaters to tip the scale of fighting that's done by drone powers like turkey who have competent general staps and are able to actually teach glee. america will work closely with its allies

a clear message sent by president joe biden who seems to turman to break away from donald trump's america 1st policies in his 1st speech on the world stage at the g 7 and munich security conference biden proclaimed america is back as i watch house correspondent kimberly hellcats it's not about pushing reset on the past 4 years u.s. president joe biden addressed to global conferences with world leaders on friday but delivered one clear message forget the america 1st policies of his predecessor america is back the transatlantic alliance is back i know i know the past years of strain and tested our transatlantic relationship but the united states is determined determined to reengage with europe. biden made clear he believes solutions to global threats must be collaborative during the virtual gathering of the g.

7 and later the munich security conference leaders conferred about share threats posed by china iran and russia was. a victim of eat on the beach it is very important that we develop a common transatlantic russia agenda which on the one hand makes cooperative offers but on the other hand clearly identifies differences and i can only agree with the american president on the question of what makes a strong strong european union unfortunately russia is not working on this at the moment on the issue of climate change biden underscored he believes the planet faces an axis stench will threat even as the united states has officially rejoined the paris climate accord envoy john kerry apologized for his precious time last pledge the united states will do all it can to meet emission reduction targets he urged others to do the same what we do or don't do in the coming months and years

will make all the difference as biden repudiated the nationalist approach of his predecessor donald trump he acknowledged challenges to preserve democracy remain both inside and outside the united states democracy doesn't happen by accident we have to defend it fight for it strengthen renew it we have to prove that our model isn't a relic of history. it's the single best way to revitalize the promise of our future the global conferences were an opportunity for president biden to lay out his foreign policy agenda and chart a new course with european leaders while reassuring them that the era of trump style diplomacy has ended can't really help at al-jazeera washington protests against me in those military have ended the 3rd week around a 1000 people gathered in the largest city and gone to demand the release of

deposed leader aung san suu kyi and a return to civilian rule some holding photos of a 20 year old woman who died on friday after being injured in the protests she was shot in the head last week when police trying to disperse a crowd in the capital not people. similar demonstrations have taken place in the northern city of new kenya thousands of people joins despite reports of police using force to arrest a protest is earlier this week several people were wounded by rubber bullets in the nighttime raids. tony chang joins us now live from bangkok tony what more can you tell us about these latest protests. well the taking place all over the country today up in the far north in kitchens states we understand in the last war had been relatively peaceful protests in central myanmar in mandalay have been the police have attempted does asperse the crowd by firing

tear gas piers that the number of people who were wounded in the exchange there have also been smaller protests in the capital naypyidaw large numbers of people in main city yang gone. thousands have been out on the streets in 2 locations the main protest taking place in downtown younger on not outside the go to where they have been for the last week because of the security services have put a basically a ring of steel around there but the protesters have just moved a little further down the street outside the shangri-la hotel so the large numbers out there but they've also targeted position outside the chinese embassy and that is clearly an effort by the protesters to put pressure and a certain amount of embarrassment on the military leaders but also on a country that they perceive is giving an awful lot of support not just to the burmese military but also. to the kind of infrastructure support arms other things

that are coming in and there's been a lot of talk in the last couple days about how the chinese are having an overbearing influence on this ok is there any indication at all tony that the protests are having an impact on the military and perhaps also that international pressure might be having any sort of impact. you know we saw more sanctions announced from the u.k. the e.u. is going to be discussing sanctions in the next couple of days. very hard at this stage to tell that it's going to have an impact on the military they are very familiar with international sanctions they lived under them for many years so there may not bring immediate fruit what is likely to have more of an impact is the civil disobedience movement that we're seeing across the country of them and we're seeing doctors walking or going on strike engineers the impact that is having to do is

that many trains in yang gone being canceled the banking system is being crippled many bankers walking out and basically civil structure of civil society is being is being brought to a standstill because so many people are walking out in support of these protests now that will have a huge impact on civil society but at the moment the momentum seems to be very much with the protesters and if they do succeed in bringing me i'm are effectively to are to hold that it's going to put a lot of pressure on the military to do something about this they have promised that life will resume very quickly they've said that the elections will take place within the year and i think you people across the country see this coup bring everything to a grinding hold it's going to bring in the awful lot of pressure on the generals to do something about it quickly ok thank you for that update there tony chang across developments from bangkok. and neighboring thailand prime minister prior to channel
