credit for example or to continue financing social spending in the country so they want to continue. on the government to do that and make sure that the government well now negotiate with them really venture to go. new text of the reform program p.s.g. keeping us up to date with the situation in colombia thank you. foreign minister says he hopes to see an end to the presence of foreign mercenaries in libya. leading a high level delegation for talks with the unity government turkey's defense minister and intelligence chief with him as well. volved in libya to backing the un recognized government of national called against the wood. trainer with us now from tripoli what more has been said today malik it's always significant when we look at
6:17 pm
took his involvement in libya. yeah that's right well we heard there's a man goose she's libya's 1st female foreign minister discuss to reiterate how important tricky relationship with libya is she went on to say that we should. turkey is extremely important to the successfulness of the cease fire that's currently ongoing libya currently has a cease fire that was able to lead to this political to a political resolution that brought in this interim government so churchy has played a critical role in balancing the power of course a little tricky signed a maritime security agreement with libya in 2019 months after warlords flee for have launched a military campaign on the capital tripoli with turkish support the internationally recognized government was able to force. forces towards the east of libya soon

after that a cease fire and then this government was able to take place so he's seen as as having balanced power and being critical to allow for this political resolution to take place. also discussed the turkey's foreign minister reiterated his support for the cease fire and for the sovereignty and the unification of libya so i think this is really a really important meeting just it's just the amount of vishal that actually came yet the foreign minister the minister of interior the mr defense chief of staff of the military head of national security. political of political party members so you know just shows how how invested shirky is and libya and how they want to grow their influence in the country and throughout africa and i think this
6:19 pm
visit really shows that. thank you but that update from tripoli prosecutors in france so there are no grounds to pursue legal action against the country over the rwandan genocide this is after all one has government published a report last month and france was aware that genocide was being prepared ahead of the massacres in 1904. from paris in 2005 a number of human rights groups here in france including an organization that represents the community here filed a legal case against a number of. unnamed members of the french forces who were serving in rwanda at the time of the genocide in 1904 under a u.n. mandate now in this legal action the human rights groups queues the french forces of complicity in the genocide of crimes against humanity because they said
6:20 pm
that those french forces had basically failed to protect thousands of tutsis who had been hiding who had fled to the hills around the business arab village in the west of the country in fact this legal action actually said that french forces abandoned the area for 3 days effectively allowing hutu led militia to come into the area and massacre thousands of people now what the paris prosecutor though has said is that there isn't enough evidence in his opinion to continue with this case now it may still be taken up by the investigating magistrate but it does seem that that is unlikely in the case is effectively dropped. chad's minute region there has formed a new transitional government but the opposition's rejecting it new leadership includes ministers from the late president's cabinet and some opposition figures but opposition critics say they want all members of the old order right out of the picture chad has been facing increased political turmoil since the death of the former president while visiting the front lines last month we have couples on and

6:36 pm
weeks prior to his death even though my law though and i suffered from abuse to drugs and alcohol and other illnesses what his family is saying that there was something out that something else happened that led to his death and that's why they requested an investigation and that's why prosecutors requested and created a board of 20 doctors and experts to investigate my own ass house and to investigate how my brother has medical team for a feed what we know is that in the 70 page medical report where they're saying is that my mother has suffered for 12 hours fryer to use that that he agonized that day to lack mental faculties in order to decide what what was happening to him and to decide what needed to be done for him and also that had he been in the hospital he's life could have been saved and this is important because the well my own ass doctors had been requested his medical team for him to be hospitalized and his
6:37 pm
medical team did not want that to happen in fact in some audio recordings that appeared in this during this investigation you can hear his lawyers and his doctors saying that but i don't i needed to stay in a house and not taking to a hospital because jobs where i'd risk and that's what i don't as doctor that is saying that it was taking care of him economic interests were much more important that i might have known as well being and overall the full report said that there was negative sense that there was recklessness and that it might i don't know was not well taken care of prior to his death ok thank you for that theresa the inventor cyrus. british unionists are marking 100 years since the creation of northern ireland the nationalists though there's nothing to celebrate they want the entire island unified again under one irish flag under simmons has a report from belfast thank the drumbeats of the flute mark northern islands 100

years of existence and the marches in defiance of covert regulations seem celebrates are we in turn a street away though you can see the underlying mood isn't happy many of these protestants feel like costs there's a lot of people in the follow up businesses they're not they're not criminals or they're made out to be and for us it's a pos tame as well as a cultural but i think if there was even a threat of irish unity that it will be focused what we did on the street maybe a lot more. scenes views are i code by fellow band members marching all over this vast unity this housing estates on the outskirts of the past the police tried to get them to disperse. them. but they marched on under surveillance from above this isn't only it's a mark of 100 years since the birth of northern ireland it's aimed at the political

a mcbride thinks he lost his wife for the liar a bumbling lady 28 years ago and has campaigned for unity and i would just. just encourage in just a pain to our politicians to start to get around the table start to govern this place with us with a sense of just wanting to improve life for everybody not just their own particular tribe or no particular organization or group or community where they're coming from you have to make it better for everyone as long as people like dean feel alienated and others feel empowered the risk of violence still hangs a good northern island. intersections with that reporting live for us now in belfast take us further into this and why protestants feel so under threat is it brags that that's your voice call bad or is that the possibility of a of a referendum on our show unity. well it's
6:41 pm
both really the referendum on unity is more of a distant prospect but it's becoming much more and a gender issue now because of demographics the population is going to be assessed again through a census and the result will be coming out next year it is likely to show a majority of catholics for the 1st time so population will be directed on a minority for protestants and letters of unionists all levels in terms of a possible referendum on unity you can guarantee however that catholics are naturally in favor of the unity so that is going to put things on no longer wicket because surveys have shown that that the catholics are more more likely to go for unity but by and by no means of the is the figure as convincing as protestants

6:43 pm
briley the destabilization of politics in belfast right now which is really worrying people and has a potential for a vacuum the d u p the democratic party is in a real spall scale battle over the leadership right now no one's sure where this will lead to whether it will be early elections or one of the parties pulling out of the northern ireland assembly and going back to effectively home rule so this is worrying people remember northern ireland was born out of conflict 23 years ago there was that pace peace deal but no one here can really rely can take peace for granted and so there is this feeling that there could be another setback andrew symonds in belfast on the 100th anniversary of the creation of northern ireland. now monday is world press freedom day and this year the united nations
