crimes that could see had jails up to 15 in the why cuba and the u. s. on returning to the air of confrontation, 5 months and to joe biden's, presidency. and as toto counts down to the big and a months time, we'll find out what the japanese think of these 10 demik delayed games coming up with pizza. and ah, be part of the debate itself defeated the end because it in the us or in the u. k, because it will just come back again when no topic is off the table. what we wanted to talk about were the command white man touching a dream, where a global audience becomes a global community. jumping to the comment section and part of the discussion, there are like kinetic efforts to silence on the online faith on al jazeera frank

assessments eastern argument for suggesting that the, by the ministrations a long game. it's very much of a warm embrace of iran nuclear deal because of us domestic politics informed opinions, schools, and shelters of been reduced to rubble. how do you think this shapes a generation and they have politics? then their life has been shaped by vitamin, the in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on our jazeera, me a hello again, i missed your call, says remind you about the top story of the salad. the us secretary of state anthony

blanket says it's crucial that libya holds national elections in december to ensure peace and stability. lincoln, is that a conference in berlin aimed at reducing violence. libya thousands of people have reported even kills. often strike had a market and ethiopian great region health workers in the village of to go guy have told the associated press soldiers blocked medical teams from reaching the iran has condemned to the us seizure of 33 media websites, calling it a breach of freedom of speech the u. s. as besides violate sanctions against iran and have accused them of spreading this information. well, that's not returned to the conference in berlin, delegates, they're all hoping to build on progress that's been made in the past 18 months. in january last year, another berlin conference, or leaders, i read to uphold the un arms and bulger, and author to push the b as warring sides towards a full seas. fine, 9 months later than they reached a deal to end hostilities, it included

a demand that thousands of foreign fighters leave within 90 days, but that hasn't happened and have continued to flow in. but that agreement did set libya on the part towards transitional government, then took power in march and a deal on elections that are due to be held later this year. well, let's speak to abraham frey hunt. he's an associate professor of conflict resolution at the institute for graduate studies. he joins us from here. and abraham, i'll stop by asking you what you make of the agenda in berlin, and they're obviously a number of tricky issues on table foreign fighters. these elections are you optimistic about progress? while 2 major challenges facing the abilene conference, one as holding the election, the national elections on december 28th. and the 2nd one is the withdrawal of the foreign troops. the senate is from libya that this is why i'm because of the agenda for the conference. i think the elections can be,

can be done. it's not extremely difficult, but i think the major challenge could be see and withdraw all of the medicine. that is which the un estimates of the numbers of them, of approximately 20000 and the other for the children, as we know, we have, you know, from different countries. and that's where the major challenge is. so not sure about fully optimistic, but i can tell you that the change that the conditions have changed significantly from the fears, but i mean come from but in conference back in january, 2020. now we have 2 major achievements that held these negotiations on help, but again, conference. now, one is that we have national unity government and we haven't seen them. so that's on the domestic level. in addition,

i think also on the external factors at many things also have improved. we have one of the key factors that was that prevented and progress and the 1st but in conference was took egypt relations. now we have much better relations between the 2 countries. also, we have been relations with we in europe, we in france and turkey. also, we are seeing some improvement in the spanish and ships. we had europe divided also in the past, but in conference where france support the east all and but it got been get me and also we had this with europe. supporting tripoli though with libya. this is also changing. we are seeing also in addition a u. s. investment a high level investment on the level of a good span of pacific. definitely seeing some of the nomics. and indeed,

i do want to ask you the abraham. because in order for a sustainable piece, which is what this conference is about, a long term solution. libyans themselves need to rebuild their lives. i was looking at the numbers a course, a 1000000 still the space cities are in ruin. and since the start of this pandemic food prices, they have for 12 percent. and i understand that much of that isn't on the agenda. in berlin, so how is that going to be addressed? that's a crucial point in my view. and actually, what makes it even more complicated is that i am not exactly certain how much of a said that believe you have over the faxes and the decision making process in this lean conference. which is actually not much because we, we know that libya as since the, since the doubtful but that dr. gene became a battle ground for many regional players. so even now we have

that the different interests of russia, key egypt, the united arab emirates, and the united states and europe. all they have investment, they have agit that's in, in leave. yes. in addition, of course, in order to actually this is your question. in my view is linked to the withdrawal of the for insured and demand centers. and for these constraints, actually, the need to see probably they're given a part of the construction of projects in order to probably for russia to withdraw or do it forces the russia does not agree that they have forces. they have the security contract, those drew back note, and also jerky has, has obviously, has troops them in order to be able to,

to convince them to leave. i think they are expecting some major contribution or major taking a major role in the construction plan. what i'm offering indeed. yeah. abraham fry . hi there. an associate professor of conflict resolution at the institute for graduate studies. always great to get your thoughts out there. thanks for joining us again. abraham. thank you. now moving on and hong kong pro democracy newspaper, apple daily has confirmed it will shut down operations by saturday. its assets are frozen. that announcement now also follows the arrest of its chief columnist. the writer, known by his pen named leaping, is now the 6th staff member detained this month on the beijing national security law. the big apollo has this update, 4th from hong kong, abil daily upset the last edition of its popular pro democracy newspaper will likely have the stamps on thursday. the board of directors say this is due to current conditions prevailing in hong kong and comes as yet another one of its

employees was arrested under the national security law. this time of popular and prolific columnist who is known for his outspoken views on china. this is seen as an extension of a raid and a number of arrests from last thursday. and with 500 police came into the building behind me, arrested a number of executives and editors, and confiscated reporters journals, notebooks and computers. in the 1st of such a move on a media organization, apple daily owned by jimmy lie, he's the media mogul, and a 1000000000 are known for his outspoken views on democracy and as fonts supporter of democracy in hong kong. he is currently in jail facing charges under the national security law of collusion with foreign forces amongst other charges. his assets were frozen by the government and so over the assets of next digital media, which is the parent company of apple daily apples aly had been warning that it was

quickly running out of resources to pay it stuff and continue operations hall. meanwhile, the 1st person in hong kong to be charged under beijing's national security law is now on trial tonguing kit is accused of terrorism and inciting secession for driving his motorcycle into a group of police officers while flying a protest like last july, he's been denied a jury for his trial with the government, citing concerns about the safety of those jurors or me and mars, deposed data on some food she is facing a new trial herself. on wednesday, she's charged with violating the colonial era official secrets act, which carries a heavy jail. them up to 14 years, the military has already brought a series of criminal charges against since taking power. florence louis has more now from the malaysian capital, calling the charge against on cancer gee, for breaking the official secrets. it's one of the more serious charges against her

. it carries a maximum punishment of 14 years in prison. and she's been charged along with 4 others, including astray and economic advisor, shawn to know who was arrested several days after the qu. now the case is being heard in the supreme court, which is highly unusual. the vertigo of the supreme court cannot be appealed because it's the highest court in miasma. but we also understand that the supreme court will be hearing arguments about whether the district court may be more suitable court to hear this case. few people doubt on santucci will get a fair trial. there have been several irregularities before and during her hearings, including how her lawyers had difficulty getting access to her. how the charges against her have been announced. days, weeks, and even months after she was arrested. members of the public and journalists have

no access to the proceedings. now, meanwhile, violence and unrest in myanmar not only continue but appear to be spreading opposition to army rule, had initially been peaceful protests on the streets. but these have been turning increasingly violent with bombings, as well as killings of june to appointed local officials. now, cuba is un, envoy has compared the u. s. economic embargo against the island to an act of war. the country is appealing to the un general assemblies and for decades, wrong sanctions. thanks, and cuba have suspended deposits of us dollars, making life harder for people. and you got to go reports now from miami. but there's a lot happening. president joe biden came to office promising changes in us policy toward cuba. but months after he moved into the white house, sanctions remain in place and diplomacy is strained at best. the crippling effects of the us embargo recently led to the suspension of cash deposits in us dollars.

they just source of income for ordinary cubans. it affects me from the point of view that i have relatives abroad to send me foreign currency, but well, we will look for other ways for it to arrive. it's all the far cry from president obama's historic visit in 2016 when relations were normalized. the u. s. embassy reopened and travel to cuba allowed president biden. it seems is not following suit . a cube of policy shift or additional steps is currently not among the president's top foreign policy priorities, but it is an issue of course we will remain engaged in and focused on in essence, that means retaining hundreds of tough measures put in place by president trump, including we designate in cuba, state sponsor of terrorism. critics of the embargo say, despite calls for democracy and improved human rights in cuba, changes can be made. they want to see some evidence of progress, politically,

economically as, but that's not necessarily an impediment to perhaps taking initial steps to get rid of some of the more strict or, or tough sanctions that the trump administration put in place. major modifications to such a complex and long standing what of laws would need congressional approval? something not likely to happen, but the reason behind biden's lack of action may be more political. during the last presidential election here in florida, democrats suffered losses in pop because president was so tough on cuba. fear of communism runs deep among both cuban american and hispanic voters. and support for the embargo remains high. the, by the ministrations keenly aware of just how crucial those votes are reason enough, perhaps to keep the status quo. the cuban americans live in good arenas. the blame lays squarely with the cuban government. they don't allow any job people that, of course, have new ideas to have a new meds or have a good hubs. no,

they don't know anybody who things different new songs. so have to be a change. the only way for your people is to change. speaking into heaven of late last year, cuban foreign minister condemned the embargo saying it brought nothing but paid for the u. s. government has tightened in extreme and unprecedented ways the blockade against cuba taking advantage of the terrible conditions caused by the cobra. 1920 sampling. the blockade is always been a criminal act. a genocidal act as established by the geneva convention and act of economic warfare. for more than 25 years. the un general assembly has voted in favor of ending the u. s. embargo on cuba, the president biden, who was part of the cuba normalization process during the bomber administration. and so far left the embargo firmly in place at the gallic or i'll just 0. miami, florida. now 9 separatist activists, promising to keep pushing for

a capital on republic after their release from prison and spain. they'd been serving sentences of between 9 and 13 years. officer cavaloni failed succession bid back in 2017 prime minister pedro sanchez. pardon them though, on tuesday. and a gesture aimed at fostering dialogues about the region future. all parts of albania are still rebuilding 18 months now after a devastating earthquake. 51 people were killed, hundreds were left homeless. but as john's roughness reports from money, not everyone is happy with the effort at rebuilding the to card use house is at risk of collapsing. the unstable roof seems ready to cave in, but she, her 2 children and 5 grandchildren have nowhere else to go. for now, they've been given monetary systems. some were very happy, we've had help with groceries and i get a $150.00 a month to shop. but the main reason she's happy is that the obedient government is

giving her family an apartment in these new developments in some manner about 30 kilometers north of the capital. tarana. 5 buildings collapsed to what a powerful earthquake struck out dania in 2019 killing, 2 dozen people in some manner alone. but anyone who lost the house will receive a new one for free, and the government is paying their rent. in the meantime, part of a dynamic response to turn adversity to advantage. in the port of judas, there are few signs left but 25 people were killed by collapsing, hotels, and houses. the sites of tragedy have been builders clean and lifting buildings removed. yes. we've seen to transform the response for the earthquake the story people supported us

mostly because of how we acted exactly to cover it and earthly so we turn this to blows in into the oppertunity is to prove that we can, we can do, we can do great things together and we did. the government has spent $150000000.00 on earthquake reconstruction this year alone. but the timing has been political more than half that aid was dispersed during the month before april the general election. that helped prime minister at rama when a 3rd term. but it also means that for many people that compensation arrived 18 months after the earthquake prolonging their misery at amazon. does your family say they haven't received anything yet? municipal engineers didn't tell him his damaged home is safe, light gun,

see the home, we sleep and fear that they could be another earthquake and will suffer more damage . we have no assurance that we're safe with staying at our own risk, with very afraid with even disabled the front door lock. so we can run out into the street as a moments. notice the local authorities gave dutchy this tent, but he never used it. his neighbors told us they spent a year in their tent and ended up fixing their house at their own expense. at the heart of this community, 70 units are going up 1st to how's the last of those 2 homeless? it's unclear whether people will get to keep that damaged properties. but eddie ramos earthquake response was 1st and it helped him when an election jumpstart, hopeless. al jazeera for mana albania. mostella had here on al jazeera. the fears about the rainbow flag organize as a football european champions say, it's a political symbol and that it hasn't gone down. well the politicians says all coaches pizza will have details. ah.

the news news news news with me.

oh. a fog. it's now time to sport and peter, the countdown continues. it certainly does miss started this just one month ago now until the delayed olympics beginning. so the games which were pushed back a year because of the current of ours pandemic will open on july. the 23rd in the japanese capital, but they'll be going ahead under strict health rules over the fence have been banned, and venues will only have a 50 percent capacity for local fans who are not allowed to cheer. they must weigh mosques and go straight home, offer an event that huge pressure to manage both the games and the pandemic in

japan. so as governor eureka corey k has announced she's taking the rest of the week off to recover from severe fatigue. meanwhile, the uganda f 8 is tested positive because of 19 in japan. this is the 2nd member of the uganda, and the limbic delegation that is tested positive for the corona virus. upon arrival in japan, on saturday, a coach became the 1st confirmed infection in an overseas team to be reported the olympic village of usually a hive of activity and fun for the athletes to interact with a team and one of competitors from other countries. that is not going to be the case in tokyo as a peaceful journalist, steven weight explains let's get the numbers on this 11000 athletes. one pic, athletes will be in the village, $4400.00 paralympic athletes in the village after bigs. all the athletes who come in will be tested twice, 72 hours and 96 hours before they leave their home country. they'll be test it when they get in japan. you'll be tested every single day in the village. anybody,

the test positive in the village will be pulled out important, something called a fever clinic. the athletes are basically not allowed to socialize. they're being told to stay in their rooms, essentially, go to their venues, come back to their training venues and come back over the weekend. we had announcement, there'll be no alcohol at all in the, in the village. not that this should be a big drinking place, but no alcohol at all. if athletes want to have a drink to celebrate their told the drink alone in the room, that's how austere it's going to be. you can imagine the rooms we looked at over the weekend there, tiny summer, 10 square meters, 2 beds in a room. they're going to perhaps space people out to allow more ventilation. but it's very tight quarters and it's going to be a very austere olympics. not very much fun. steve crime is a former world 1500 meter champion and the limpid silver metal as he now compensates and coaches. and so those is there that the lack of fans in the stands won't affect the athletes performances. don't hesitate to say this, but you know,

honestly, it's quite used to really in front of quite small habits. and in particular, last 18 months, diamond lead meetings with no crowds whatsoever. and we still had incredible performances well records. you might even remember that the control the see around the lack of spectators in doha, the world championships in 2019. and yet we had probably one of the best world effect food ever hot in them to perform. so i don't think that's an issue. it would be great and it will be great if there is the chance to have some funds in the stadium. but rest assured that you know, this is linda gaines. your last leads and coaches coach as well. prepare for the event healing for the food for competing against the competitors and to try to to women perform the highest level the, the crowd up here is a tiny, tiny addition to everything that they do. yes. from a commentary point of view it. ready is always nice to be a sphere around everything else, but again, hopefully we'll,

we'll raise again as well. the news. the final, the group matches at the euro's 8 teams are waiting to find out if they'll make it into the fixed spot still up for grabs. in the knockout stage, among those or defending champions, portugal they'll go through if they avoid the fee to will champions, france who have already booked their place. but if they lose and germany news on wednesday to go out, germany currently said 3rd in group f and will be hungry. another team also still in the running again, if germany avoid the feet, they'll go through but hungry can go through. if they win while that match takes place, boomers, legal stadiums around germany will light up in the colors of the rainbow flag. it's the protest you wave as decision not to allow munich stadium to do the same for the big game. you have to say they turned down the request because it was political

linked to the hungarian team just a week after the country's government passed an anti l. g b t, propaganda law. but you a for, has been criticized for not allowing the rainbow practice by european politicians, players and coaches you think by, i think with all the importance of symbols, to me, it's important to act on those things and to live by these values. i believe our team does that and we've taken stands in the past and will continue to do so in the future. but it's important to live by these values. it's called us get out. it's something that's long overdue to be normal in sports. and the idea is for it to stop being a huge issue. and i believe that even small gestures and signs are a step in the right direction was about the only team through from groupie so far is sweden. if poland beat them, they also reach the last 16 spain will go through if they beat slovakia. but if you get a point then they'll be staying in the competition and the rest go home in the in

be a western conference finals. the phoenix suns beaten the los angeles clippers by the narrowest of margins in game to the sun had won the theory. the 2nd early lead in the match up the clippers were not going away in phoenix. in the 2nd game, they were in the lead and looking like, smashing away with just 0.7 seconds left on the clock. well, that was more than enough time for the andre a tim to complete the winning basket of the sons 110103. and i'll leave the series to nothing. goes up a lot of people who could finish in the n h l semi final place. the material canadians just one went away from the stanley cup finals on tuesday. they easily beat the vegas gold and 941 in gain, 5. that gives the canadians $32.00 series lead with the rest of the match up. sure . you to be said in a month free will be what i thought was
