the us at the snow of course just around the central and west implies that was the weather will set in a move over towards us and see people from italy. sponsored qatar airways. this is al-jazeera. hello there i am however he did and this is the news out of live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes members of the european medicines agency are expected to hold a news conference after meeting to discuss the safety over the astra zeneca vaccine . libya's new governments are set to officially take over in the latest step to bring peace after 10 years of conflict. protesters in yemen support city of aids

and storm government offices angry about the worsening economic situation and. i know there are concerns with china's destabilizing action here secretaries of state and defense are in japan to strengthen relations with china top of the agenda. and this poor english premier league football club awards a say goalkeeper with back to show is ok inconscious after being replaced on the new concussion substitution was during their game against liverpool. well during the past several days a number of european countries hold that their use of the astra zeneca vaccine they're citing concerns about a few cases of blood clots developing in people who received it well in the past couple of hours the european medicines agency has been meeting to analyze the

safety of the covert 1000 vaccine and we are expecting to hear from them shortly safety experts from the world health organization are also missing on cheese day to look at the astra zeneca will dominic cain joins us now live from berlin dominic how are these horses impacting europe's already very slow vaccine rolaids. all eyes on amsterdam this afternoon as the european medicines agency goes through its deliberations about this vaccine which really seems to divide opinion amongst the governments who've received it we know that in the european union and other european countries that aren't inside the block there is division because in the netherlands where the e m a is based you have the government saying no the a.m.a. needs to look at it its neighboring country belgium or all of the belgians say no

we're going to carry on using it and then of course across the channel you have the united kingdom which says that it's whose prime minister says that there is no evidence that they've seen he's seen which suggests anything other than this is the way out of the covert 19 pandemic so lots of difference of opinion crucially all those governments who have decided to suspend use of astra zeneca as a vaccine for their populations and they have to make up the shortfall in other ways so we know that here in germany at least excuse me here in germany at least one city has said ok well we're not going to cancel the appointments that our citizens have for us or seneca instead we will replace the shortfall with the other vaccines you know that the other vaccines bill that's the moderna. maxine and that's the phone tech for the biotech pfizer of excellence use me so we have clear evidence that countries are going about their own ways of trying to find a way to to fill the shortfall but clearly if the e m a were to say at some point this week don't expect

a definitive decision today express something more definitive on thursday but if the e.m.e.a. was to say no do not use this vaccine for your population because of concerns that we have well then that makes a much more serious have a much more serious impact because clearly astra zeneca was going to its product rather was going to form a large part of the weaponry with which the countries were going to combat covert 19 so as asserted all eyes on amsterdam dublin again in berlin thank you will we're showing live pictures now of the of the european medicines agency as they prepare to give that crucial press conference as they're waiting to hear how safe the astra zeneca vaccine rollouts is of course in europe there have been delays to the vaccine rights in many countries this vaccine very important to protect populations so the results of this press conference will be key will come

back to that a soon as we have any further information. that's been years in the making and that the latest step of bringing together united's libyan government is happening the prime minister is handing over power to the u.n. back to ministration and the 1st peaceful transition of power since 2012 this move is meant to help bring stability ahead of elections in december security is likely to pose a major challenge for the new government with an estimated 20000 foreign fighters still in the country or wolfgang oppose science the director of advisory company param associates sam the former austrian defense attash a to libya he joins us now from vienna it's because have you with us on the knees are. clearly a positive step that this unity government has come together but there are a lot of challenges in the inbox are they not are the knots this the economic

challenges the 19 pandemic and of course the security situation in the country do you think this unity government will be able to meet the challenges facing. for. once more.

that there are so a large number of forum are serious at large in libya do you think they're back less yet it's a government they want them to succeed actually this is the major. gulf . war. on the other side. so my point.

was. i think. ok wolfgang thank you so much for joining us on al-jazeera i'm sorry we have to cut you off now because we're going to head to brussels where the european medicines agency is holding a press conference after a meeting to discuss the safety of the astra zeneca vaccine let's listen in to the press briefing who are meeting here today in view of the un president it interested in the safety of the astra zeneca. and i wanted to highlight how important we're taking the current situation and the pork we have been doing to

make sure that we are waiting and he possible rare side effects relating to this vaccine. last week our safety committee the pharmacovigilance the risk assessment committee did review the preliminary results on the events of kut than people who had received the astra zeneca coke at 19 but again we said very clearly that the benefit risk remains positive we have continued to evaluate we have continued to receive additional. possible side of we have put in experts from across the network experts with. specific expertise and coagulation trumbo and balik disorders. so it's an ongoing process so i'm not here to give you the outcome of any scientific review

i'm here to explain the steps in the process what we're were doing and when you can expect us to come to a conclusion. so we're doing this review in the light of concerns that we see from citizens in the u. . the current situation which means that our priority which is to ensure the safe here. scene. can be. cut it can be communicated i have to 1st explain that a situation like this is not unexpected when you vaccinate millions of people it's inevitable that you have rare or serious incidences of in the assist that occur after vaccination and all wrote the a.m.a. is to evaluate these to make sure that any suspected births reactions are rapidly investigated so we can figure out is this

a real side effect to the bot seen or is it a coincidence not to do this we have mobilized our promise of it at some risk assessment committee which is a safety committee made up of mainly from experts from the national competence authorities from across the e.u. 'd but we also have patient representatives and health care professional representatives on this committee and in this case we've also put the next purchase from some of our international partners to help us with the evaluation we've put in experts. who have expertise in trumbo at balik events. events being. some with very unusual features such as low number of play to that have occurred in a very small number of people who have received the vaccine and these reports have been received through huge vigilance the european database for suspected. drug

reaction reports but of course we know that many people many thousands of people develop blood on you really in the e.u. for many different reasons so what we call on our expert committee to do is to establish whether there might be a causal relationship between the fact the nations these events and other words whether the vaccines might have caused the adverse events that occurred or whether the events are like each be due to other causes so this requires a very rigorous analysis of all that they related to trumbull vents on the experts look in great detail at all the available data but also at the clinical circumstances surrounding the specific cases to determine whether the vaccine might have contributed our it's like each have been due to other other courses now i said last week our expert committee met several times on this issue but in the meantime

the interest in these events has actually stimulated additional reporting ringback so we're evaluating each of the instances on a case by case ringback event so our experts are actually meeting again today so having having met most of last week they have we have put together and i'm meeting again today to help us evaluate these cases with all the surrounding information about the member states will have. the experts will then carry out their assessments and they again will meet on turf state to come to a conclusion on the full information that has been gathered and to advise us as to whether there are any further actions that need to be taken and we will inform the public of the outcome immediately after this meeting i want to stress that our experts are working tirelessly to carry out this this assessment as quickly as

possible but it needs a scientific evaluation we need to have the facts 1st we cannot come to a conclusion until we've done a thorough scientific analysis and we owe it to the european citizens to deliver this clear and science based response. so i want to also stress that at present there is no indication that box nation has caused these conditions they have not come up in the clinical trials and they're not listed as known arse or it's specter side offense with this vaccine in clinical trials both the vaccinated people on the people who received the 1st cboe have shown small some very small numbers of plot talked about months. we don't the number of trumbo and balak events overall in the vaccinated people seems not to be higher than the seen in the

camera population. i don't need to remind you all here today that the covert 19 pentameter is a global crisis with the vast sating health social and economic impact and it continues to be a major burden on the you have systems not seen for covert 19 helped to protect individuals from becoming ill especially health care professionals and vulnerable populations such as older people and those with chronic diseases and this is a very important consideration in our assessment of the benefits risks so while the investigation is ongoing we are currently we are still firmly convinced that the benefits of the out of the senate have vaccine in preventing popup 19 with this associated risk of hospitalized they send that outweighed the risk of the side effects in the meantime anyone who has received the vaccine and has any concerns

should contact their appropriate health care professional it's important that people who suspect that they have a side effect after vaccination report this to the national medicines regulator or to a health care professional who can help some to do so. thousands of people are dying across the e.u. every day we have all prized for highly effective covert box seems that time protect against severe cope with this ease. these are very rare trumbo of events are blood clots we need to evaluate these very 1 very carefully the out how to meet the our meeting today we will have a further update but as i said it's thursday when we expect the about the ration to conclude in may it's taking this situation very very seriously and we will continue to make sure the european population is informed about the outcome and

ongoing. analysis of this assessment thank you very much thank you very much. ok so we've just been listening there. from the european medicines agency. stressing many facts 1st they are investigating any concerns. still stressing that vaccination the benefits of vaccination the risks of any potential vaccine moving forward dominic kane was listening to that statement as well in berlin what were your main takeaways from this. well it seemed very much that the european medicines agency spokeswoman there was putting across the point of view that the e.m.a.'s been putting across for some time that in its estimation the astra zeneca vaccines the benefit of using the vaccine far outweighs the potential

risks that are associated with having it administered it's worth making the point that the ratio of blood clots to patients based on the analysis and the data that the inmate was putting out just a few days ago was one in a $170000.00 now that would clearly suggest. the reason why the e.m.e.a. is sticking to this line that it believes that that the danger that the risk that may be associated with this particular vaccine well is the benefits far outweigh it but clearly again no definitive final perspective from there she wants to wait until thursday because we know that on thursday the evaluation will be complete and that we will get to hear what the evaluation is very much rides on what that of that final evaluation will be so many countries have a stake in the astra zeneca vaccine at least in the uptake of it so many countries

have built their strategy including astra zeneca in it remember you should remember that astra zeneca had said it was going to deliver a particular number of doses to the e.u. and then it had to row back from that and then row further back from that and then finally said well we will deliver a fraction of what we said we would deliver but still for this calendar year astra zeneca vaccines many tens of millions of astra zeneca vaccines are expected any you countries so as i say very much riding on it and remember also already certain countries and certain big cities in certain countries have already suspended the use and closed down the vaccination centers here in berlin to mask. the nation centers with astra zeneca sitting on the shelves and nobody receiving them because it's been suspended which is why all eyes are going to be on amsterdam on thursday they will indeed so mccain thank you very much and i would just remind her of the

lines that came out of that press conference saying that at this stage there is no indication that vaccination has caused these and i quote extremely rare clotting events but stressing jaring that european medicines agency statements they want to proceed with facts 1st they are asking experts to keep looking at the data so they'll report back on thursday but again they see nothing like this in the clinical trials and there is no indication at this stage that vaccination using the astra zeneca vaccine has caused these clotting of vents there is lots more still to come on this new sara including. america stocked up on our terms used his 1st official trip to japan to deliver a clear rebuke to china you'll look at what it means for security in the region. and we'll speak to the governor of nigeria's northern catena states where gunmen have abducted 3 teachers during another attack on a school and in sports

a short time between 3 of the biggest stars in basketball's find out who came out on some of the later in the show. to. the u.s. secretaries of state and defensive use their 1st still receives trips to reaffirm washington's commitment east asian allies and city burn can and lloyd austin have been holding meetings in japan they say washington is prepared to push back against beijing's growing influence in the region from mcbride has more from seoul. this high level visit is confirmation that the stage is important in the world for. you of the new u.s. administration of president joe biden and the mission took particular an aim at the human rights record of me and in china in burma the military is attempting to

overturn the results of a democratic election and is brutally repressing peaceful protesters and china uses coercion and aggression to systematically erode autonomy in hong kong undercut democracy in taiwan abuse human rights in changing and tibet japan has been looking for support against china's territorial claims to islands which tokyo administers and it got it with this pledge to respond to china's attempts to control the seas that surround it and addressing aggressively in course of behaviors from china especially in the south and east china sea. i know japan shares our concerns we're trying to be stabilizing our actions japan also got an assurance from the u.s. that it remains committed to the complete denuclearization of its neighbor north korea but more fundamentally this visit is a chance to reset relations after

a fall to mulch we were serious under the previous administration of donald trump so we think we're all over them so i think there is an appreciation of a much more focused strategy in principle the u.s. is going to be under the by illustration much more concerned about how the u.s. speaks with its allies on wednesday this mission continues to south korea where dealing with north korea will dominate the agenda with concerns about a lack of any response from pyongyang to repeated u.s. attempts at dialogue of course the policy is always our goal our goal is to reduce the risk of escalation but today we have not received any response time to coincide with this diplomatic mission and with the resumption of joint military exercises between u.s. and south korean forces is a stinging attack from the north korean leader's influential sister kim yo jong

telling the americans not to cause a stink in this part of the world a warning of how relations could slip back into the acrimonious saber rattling of the past rob mcbride al-jazeera so well them of impartial miller is a senior fellow with the japan institute of international affairs he joins us now by skype from also has great to have you with us on this news we were hearing in that report there's been lots of warm words for japan do you think that japanese governments will be reassured after this initial visit. thanks a lot for you know and i think absolutely the japanese government will feel reassures a couple points to note i think the fact that the 2 blasts to end the travel of the secretary of state and the secretary of defense happened initially in japan and south korea i think is significant there are a number of different priorities that the by the administration could have focused on internationally a lot of challenges you expect ability over the last 4 years with the previous

administration but the fact that they chose to travel to japan 1st and then south korea i think was well regarded as the 2nd important element it's now this ducktails with china so as you know the u.s. will be meeting with chinese officials later this week in alaska and the idea that they didn't decide to tack on a trip to china to the chinese mainland but instead asked the chinese to to meet them in alaska in the middle of winter i think is it is another sense of symbolism that has been lost in tokyo and that is that could have had the chinese going to see this is some kind of snub. well i think that they're realizing 2 the situation that there and i think that this you know this meeting at happened in japan and i think there will be similar themes in south korea some of the language in the joint statement for example it's quite direct and it's it while the u.s. and japan alliance is always focused on the challenges of china for there to be such an explicit language on chinese coersion chinese aggression whether it's

around the sink of islands in the east china sea or whether it's more broadly the economic portion that other such as a serial you can't replace and it was quite explicit so i think the chinese are aware that even with this new ministration. things happen structurally change very much with this strategic competition to give a given the way this trip has progressed so far in the events that we're looking forward to in the days to come what would you say is more important for the u.s. administration here is it cantering china and the threats from china or north korea which has long been a concern of not just the united states but the way their western world and neighbors in asia it's a good question i think the u.s. is going to have to balance both of these areas i think you know the short answer your question is that you know the short medium and long term challenge in the region will be meeting at china's rise and some of the course of elements of that rise about north korea cannot be forgotten either and i think that we're seeing

this play out right now is that by the ministry she made in treaties and made initial. chances to kind of have that dialogue with the north koreans and have been rebuffed so you're seeing in this trip this is a chance especially with south korea but also with that with their ad japanese ally to articulate a strategy on our korea and do that in tandem with their allies ok ag great to get your thoughts thank you so much john barger miller joining us live from also a thank you. thank you. i mean mars military has char's the deposed governments international representative with treason dr sus as he's known fled me and maher on the day of the coup last month now he's accused of encouraging the civil disobedience campaign and calling for international sanctions let's go live now to scott hi blair he joins us from bangkok and scott this could be interpreted as a rather alarming development seems to suggest that the military is doubling down.

it does and as we've seen by this treason charge that was just announced on myanmar state run television just over the last couple of hours that is something that they're you know they're kind of doing on 2 fronts they're trying to describe the protest movement the civil disobedience disobedience movement on the streets across manner but they're also trying to squash any voices outside of myanmar inductors is outside and he's appeared numerous news programs and news networks to get the word out of what's happening in the call for international assistance so this is their way to just as a way to try to silence him but he's out of the country so for them to try to enact this this this charge against him is going to be very difficult but despite that continuing on the streets of myanmar today we did see again it turned a bit deadly on tuesday we saw at least one death this is according to local media one death in yangon and then 2 deaths in a city outside of mandalay to the west which is in the central part of the country

what's interesting though when you look at what's been happening in yang gone word is difficult to get out because the joint to has shut down most of the data networks mobile data networks so it's very difficult to get information out but what we do know is that flashpoint area from sunday where there were arson arson against factories in a certain district of the city that's where it turned very deadly after that today we know in tuesday that a lot of people were trying to leave the area there thousands in in some cases people are saying tens of thousands of people are trying to exit that's because martial law has been imposed on that district as well as 5 others so people were trying to come out we have seen a lot of fires in the area it appears as though a lot of these barricades that the protesters have set up those were put on fire we don't know if that was the security forces if there was other actors but we know that that was a kind of a chaotic scene today but again we look at the the numbers of the smaller protests

the. these are much lower than we've seen the last couple of days but again we're seeing this kind of group of people large group of people exiting the areas where this where the martial law has been imposed in and around yangon our ok scott hi-lo there praying is the very latest from bangkok scott thank you very much indeed it is certain for a quick check on the weather here's everton however we got a little bit of a mixed bag in our weather across the middle east over the next couple days it's warm sunshine lovely weather across southern parts of the region 30 celsius in doha getting 36 in riyadh so that warm starting to set same with southerly winds but further north it's more winter here because some snow coming in across the turkish mountains some rain raffling into cypress pushing towards the levant and that's all making its way little further eastwards as we go on through thursday i think for much of syria the good parts of iraq it should be followed dry but just around the

northern fringes you might catch a shero to one of 2 showers wintry in nature there just around the caucasus chance of some wintry showers over towards afghanistan as well meanwhile the warm sunshine continues across the arabian peninsula and we could touch 34 celsius here in doha on thursday so even the warm side for us here was some should sue into a good part of verse some are there but showers not too far away much just catch a shower to just around the coastal fringes and you see want to see showers to the southern parts of ethiopia elsewhere across central areas of africa the seasonal rains doing quite nicely will see the rain is extending all the way down towards zambia zimbabwe catching some rains with a chance of one of 2 showers the eastern cape. thanks ever since still to come here on al-jazeera we'll take a look at the state of syria's opposition its successes and failures 10 years since the conflict began plus. i'm natasha barclay in amsterdam. on wednesday and we meet the policy calling for an end to racism in their balloons i don't sport

lean on messi had some of the landmarks will have all the details for you later in the show. from the al-jazeera london broil. to people in thoughtful conversation generally whenever you talk about race or race and. with no host and no limitations our society has structural racism built into a new season of studio b. unscripted you've got blind spots convenient blind spots you know some aspects of our history and racism and different types of prejudice coming soon on al-jazeera. 2 years after new zealand's deadly mosques you chains one o one east returns to christ church to find out how those most deeply affected are coping. and surviving

a massacre on al-jazeera. al-jazeera . the in the. in the in. this is al-jazeera a quick reminder of the top stories for you this hour it's been years in the making and though the latest step in bringing together united libyan government is happening the prime minister is handing over parents of u.n. bags administration in the 1st peaceful transfer of power since 2012

myanmar's military has charged the deposed government's international representative with treason dr sassa as he was known as accused of encouraging civil disobedience campaign calling for international sanctions. and the european medicines agency says there is no indication the astra zeneca cool with 1000 vaccine is the cause or was causing cases regulator says the evaluation of the data is ongoing but reassurance that the benefits of the job still i'll weigh the risks. well the regulators executive director has said there's no indication that astra zeneca vaccine and questions caused the blood coursing in incidence and stress that the vaccination campaign is critically important. while the investigation is ongoing we are currently we are still firmly convinced that the benefits of. oxygen in preventing poet 19 with it the 38 at risk of

hospitalized outweigh the risk of the side effects in the mean time anyone who has received the vaccine and have any concerns should contact their appropriate health care professional. speaker it's in stereo i'm also a season associate professor of cellular and molecular sciences at northumbria university and joins us now from newcastle great to have you with us on the news or the reason we've been crossing backwards and forwards to the european medicines agency is of course because several countries in europe have suspended the rule of the oxford astra zeneca vaccine due to safety concerns we now have the e m a's saying that is no indication really that there's no causal link at this stage between the vaccine it's. the very rare

blood coursing events and yet the vaccine still remains pause in european countries as a scientist what do you make of this pausing of the rule weights of this vaccine at a time when vaccinations are needed. well 1st and foremost i think it's extremely important to take into account that we've come into this pandemic on away all box a movement which has done much to public confidence and box into the channel so it's extremely critical that we make it extremely clear that these vaccines are being developed using the correct procedure not know cutting corners don't know what has happened number one number 2. all the boxes not just the astra zeneca box and how of a number of incidents occurred for. these incidents are generally comparable

between the vaccines and the most critical piece of information is that the number of incidents are actually the same as you would get in normal people would not get the vaccine itself in other words there is actually no difference whether or not you got the boxing or not whether or not you will get these from baltic about 6 these blood clots thoughtful so why in your view are these european governments taking this these moves and they keep saying a site of an abundance of caution but is having a very real effects on the population who are very nervous now a bank this oakford astra zeneca vaccine i mean are they doing the n.c. vaccines work for them. governments. political animals 1st and foremost a respectable whether you're sitting on the side of the backs of all the other side

of the box that will not mean your opinion but so 'd very quickly well about statement beyond that i'm not here to defend a specific manufacture anything like that i'm here to look at the data ok so we have people 37 people up of 70000000 the have actually shot these plots full that's according to 0002 percent of all the people that have helped these clubs who the xbox and the have actually got caught in day to day life the same proportion of people would get run doubly cloaked about helping kill me sooner 0.0002 percent of the population it's no different it literally is no different now some. scientists. some of these some types of clothes that are happening in the head might be more common but if you actually go and look up the the incidence of these floats in the brain again we are seeing that the incidence is still attending different to what has been saying

under normal circumstances preponderant without the facts in 'd place so the reason why these governments are. talking about more caution i'm not a 100 percent show i can tell you folks such and not some governments will have their own independence safety committees that sits below the european medicines authority so there you have been medicines authority unlike the united states f.b.a. they will come up with a decision but each country has a little bit of autonomy and i suspect some of this has to do with the governments wanting to be seen to be doing something about the problem here is just a multiple elections you've got to morrow all in a 6 months or 2 years from now what nonsense is that the economy and society are done much right now because. people are not getting vaccinated because of what's in it's not made available or because people become hesitant about of the vaccines or not the other ok and it's really important that we listen to the experts on this

appropriately it was right to stop and think look at the data now the data are out and they're open transparent ok you need to start x. national center spokesman today. i'm afraid we're out of time a serious more suspect thank you so much for sharing your expertise where this here on our jazeera trust the data the data does not lie the gunman in northern nigeria have abducted 3 teachers from a primary school in kaduna states the students managed to escape during the raid but this is the latest in a string of attacks on schools in northern nigeria and friday 39 college students were abducted by armed men on the outskirts of kaduna city for more on this let's bring in our madrid dreams who is in kadena states and i've made significant security challenges where you are. exactly significant security challenges and before to say are saying they are dealing with

it as best as they could this is a state that in the last one year had had more than 900 cases of killings abductions at least 1900 abductions and of course cattle rustling now the the problem now is that the targeting of educational institutions in this state in particular so much of the excuse me so much has been invested in the field of education yet these attacks are trying to derail all that and it's not only happening in couldn't a state it's across the north of nigeria we have book or i'm in the north east and these bandits attacking schools institutions now to talk more about this is a governor of state well i'm not sure i'm at a little fight so talk to us why the targeting of school educational institutions including a student how devastating is this to educational planning well the bandits have been getting in education institutions and schools and abducting students in particular because it makes headlines as you know headlines constitute the oxygen

of the terrorists and these terrorists they get the best headlines and they're quite led to his amounts of money when they abduct students this has a major impact on educational development not only in can we missed it by in northern nigeria and northern nigeria is among the most backwards in terms of education and in this state we've invested heavily in education in the last few years and we've had some significant improvements but all that is at risk right now governor you have a very tough stand on this bundle send kidnappers your stand is no negotiations no payment of ransom now a lot of your citizens are in the hands of these bandits has that soften your position has or change your approach to it that it has not position as they go. meant is is based on principle we've evaluated the situation and we do not see any

reason why the government who will pay money to bind it so that the most sophisticated weapons and wreck havoc on the rest of society it is a principled stand we do not fear around some we will not negotiate with criminals will not negotiate with bandits the fact they are carrying a $47.00 does not give you the platform to negotiate because if we do that they would have to negotiate with every criminal in their jewelry or and gram team. we have not 39 of us to wouldn't they were federal coalition of forestry mechanization in the hands of the bandits we know that they're safe because the nigerian armed forces have been carrying out surveillance we know that they're safe and we are now involved in a waiting game we have told them very clearly not a pen you would come from the government and they are waiting hoping that something would come so we are involved in the waiting game we have to wait and see how things play out now for a matter of 5 the governor of katrina stated his stand but norm negotiations no

ransom to be paid to the bandit and his in his own words the waiting game continues ok our message is there live from. thank you. let's take you back to libya now where the new interim government has been sworn in to lead the north african nation until elections later this year the prime minister is handing over power to the u.n. back to administration and the 1st peaceful transition of power since 2012 charles stratford has more now on a long journey to achieve peace. p.b.'s new interim government has been sworn in sign of hope for a nation that suffered years of conflict but the challenges ahead are immense. he descended into chaos a decade ago when a nato backed up rising overthrew and killed its leader moammar gadhafi. revolution worsened deep tribal rivalries pave the way for the rise of al qaida and

eisel and resulted in geo political battles between countries including turkey russia the united arab emirates and egypt all competing for influence and power in the strategically important an oil rich country on the mediterranean sea the new unity administration led by interim prime minister abdul hamid debate is expected to replace the un recognized government of national accord based in tripoli and a parallel administration in the east controlled by the warlord khalifa haftar. fighting intensified in april 2019 when half the us forces which included various foreign militia groups supported by russian mercenaries launched a full scale offensive on tripoli in june last year the united states africa command said there were around 2000 russian most and raise fighting alongside hopped as men many of them working for a company called the wagner group which is owned by

a close friend of russian president vladimir putin. the un security council has called on the estimated tens of thousands of foreign fighters including those who have fought on behalf of the un backed government to leave libya without delay unless you have a subservient neutral military there is no guarantees that just because you have elections in december that you will achieve democracy having a neutral subservient military is going to be the most. probably the hardest challenge for this government and another challenge will be reaching broad acceptance among all parties about turkey's role and ambitions in libya. turkey has been training military units loyal to the tripoli based government in order to fend off attacks by half his forces. many foreign powers say turkey sent syrian fighters to help defend the capital turkey has always denied this and signed a security cooperation and maritime border agreement with the un backed government

in tripoli in november 2019 the new interim administration has already defended that partnership saying was in the interests of all libya the deal will potentially give turkey access to disputed gas fields in the mediterranean while foreign powers continue to jostle for influence libya's 7000000 people continue to suffer on the desperate economic conditions on employment and corruption the new interim government has promised to better tackle the spread of covert 19 it says 300000 vaccines will be imported in the coming weeks and wearing masks will be mandatory libya has so far confirmed more 140000 cases including more than $2300.00 fatalities but the real figure is believed to be much higher the country also remains vulnerable to attacks from al qaida and eisel that have taken advantage of the security vacuum since the fall of gadhafi in 2011. elections are scheduled on

december the 24th but after so many years of chaos and bloodshed and so many foreign players involved ensuring the guns stay silent until that date will be a challenge in itself. al-jazeera. processes have no life the presidential palace in yemen's port city of aden earlier sources told all just 0 officials from the u.n. but governments had fled the palace in a zone as hundreds of protesters forced their way through the main gates while they stormed the palace without resistance forces loyal to the southern transitional council is going anger about the government's policies and the deteriorating economic situation. 10 years into the syrian conflict and presents bashar al assad is still in power many syrians say the international community failed them and the uprising turns and her proxy war there's also the blame the opposition for failing to provide credible alternative leadership say no harder reports on how in facing

led to war within the war. protesters demanding the downfall of president bashar assad's regime were shot at arrested and tortured syria's opposition decided to defend itself and fight back after losing hope in an international intervention. the formation of the free syrian army was announced by rebel military leader riyadh the assad in july 2011 but years later the former air force colonel like many others acknowledged the f.s.a. existed only in the name of. each of the armed groups had their own agenda and they wanted to implement it before the fall of assad this cause divisions also international powers intervened and supported different groups. a unified authority that would serve as an alternative to the syrian government is what the opposition has so far failed to do they control territory they have

a base to govern from but it is territory where wars within a war are being fought. by 2013 much of northern syria belong to many opposition groups that we're only united against a common enemy and they share territory with al-qaeda linked groups which wanted to establish an islamic state at the start foreign fighters were welcomed by the opposition which felt abandoned by world powers that changed when they started to take territory from those they called corrupt rebels armed opposition groups linked to the free syrian army are no longer here i saw also imposed brutal tactics arresting killing and forcing into exile activists who called for democracy from the foreign fighters actually. who maybe came in like this so they don't want or forces to be here. and also also it's. global attention focused on

defeating eisel in what was described as a counterterrorism mission rather than an effort to tip the scales in the war. over promised that when you have president obama when you british french and german. saying that's present last stand it triggered an expectation that they were going to back this up so instead it was the regime which received outside support russia and iran's entry on the battlefield turned the equation on the ground in assad's favor. the opposition has been pushed to the northern corner of syria where millions of people remain vulnerable to attacks and demands for a safe or a no fly zone to protect them are still ignored 10 years on that of their leader beirut 5 was for their salah thank you very much a high level start with football in english premier league club but wolves
