1:10 pm
to to go on now where the sovereign councils, deputy chairman has blamed tuesdays qu, attempt on politicians, saying they've turned a blind eye on what people need. general mohammed handle, doug low and the counsels president of those fat to albert hon. have held a news conference 21 offices and a number of soldiers have been arrested unquestioned following the attempt to take over. they tried to take over control of several government institutions including state t, v, and radio stations, nevada louis fema. we addressed you today as we lived through dian moment and now history. we had hoped the transition would bring a better future. you will all have followed the found qu, teams of yesterday, with the a, if managed, to defeat, into a wrist all perpetrators,
1:11 pm
without any losses. it is not the 1st attempt, as we have failed many in the past. you have the right to ask for a reason for these repeated attempts, and we said openly and candidly, it is the politicians who turned a blind eye to the people's needs and busied themselves fighting for power and competing for control. this is created anger among the common people who are struggling on a daily basis for food, water, and medicine. let's get morphin hippa, morgan, whose line for us now in khartoum. hipaa is 24 hours or thereabouts since i've failed to do we have any more clarity on exactly what happened while there are still no answers as to what those who were behind, who said when they were being interrogated and nothing has been revealed with regard to those interrogations from the head of the sovereignty, counsel them for hon and the deputy head of the sovereignty council general with hamden law. now they were addressing soldiers at the military barrack and
1:12 pm
undermined the twin city of her tomb. and they seemed to be praising the soldiers for the rule that they played in preserving the lives of civilians and making sure that no lives were lost in the, in the process of foiling the cool. but it also seemed to show that the divide between the civilian components of the transitional government and the military components. let's go back to how this transitional government looks like. we have the military, 5 members of the military in the sovereignty council, 560 billions and 3 from the groups. now that's together forms the severance council, which effectively is the presidency. then you have the executive council, which is the council of ministers headed by the parabola. him dog and he's a civilian. so those 2 sites that are currently leading this transitional government. but there has long been friction between the 2 sides. and that is very clear to see in the speech of by the head of the sovereignty, counsel of the han and his deputy mama times and the blame politicians for the
1:13 pm
current situation of the country. the walking about the economy. they said that the politicians seem to be focused on getting power. i'm not focusing on the issues that matter to civilians such as the economists because the living standards of the people and inflation that people have been suffering from. so it seems that this division between the 2 sides did not grow narrow with this attempt at school yesterday, despite the fact that those who were organized nicole wanted to overthrow both the sufferings, the counsel, and the council of ministers, according to the government statement yesterday. but the fact that they wanted to overthrow both bodies did not bring the civilians component and the military component any closer. in fact, that the prime minister abil doc yesterday said that they were military, that the military should hold those officers to account and should make it very clear to the people. exactly. why did that that and how they were able to do that. he said that transparency was very important as well as accountability. but the
1:14 pm
military topic, if they will reveal exactly what is going on in the interrogations, and if and if, and how those people who are behind the, who manage to get to that stage. there has again been vast division between the military and civilian components. and if anything, yes, it is cool. just made it grow wider. many thanks for that. hipaa move in the 1st live in cartoon gunshots have been find out a vehicle carrying the ukrainian presidents principal aid. it happened in a suburb of the council, key of police say more than 10 bullets were fine at the vehicle, wounding the driver. the aid has reportedly escaped on home. it's not yet known who was behind the attack. let's go to bernard smith, who's been following developments from moscow. what can you tell us? bennett? ukraine's government says the target of this attack was survey. she fear principal aid to ukraine's president let him in the landscape. now the president himself is
1:15 pm
currently at the united nations in washington, but he famously came to power with this promise to fight the oligarchy, reduce that power, influence, and crack down on corruption. another a has said that he believes this shooting. this attempted assassination is connected to that crack down on the oligarchy. he says that we emphasize the president's policy, aimed at the fundamental transformation of the state will remain unchanged. the timing of this alleged assassination term may also be significant because it's this week that ukraine's parliament starts debating a law specifically targeted reducing the influence of those all galks. the president will be, of course, informed at the un aware he will be speaking to the general assembly, but at the moment we understand that the aid escaped uninjured. his drug was hurt,
1:16 pm
local television reporting that there were 19 bullet holes in the vehicle. and the thanks for that update bernard smith, 1st in moscow, volcanic rocks and in the canary islands is intensifying. take a look at these live pictures from the island of la palmer spanish authorities and preparing to evacuate more people as lava is spreading. nicholas hack has this report it was a volcanic eruption on the other. he get's concepcion had expected, but never thought it would actually happen in her lifetime on her doorstep. now, threatening the family business, she ran for almost 2 generations from the terrace. the volcanoes epicenter appears so close, attracting customers to the restaurant, the curious the media, and those observing their homes being swallowed by the slow moving lava, overseen a company of people's homes and lives have been destroyed. imagine how i feel. i
1:17 pm
can't sleep, i feel sad, but i wonder what else can this okay? no take for me. as the hours go by the volcano cracks open more grounds. the earth surface is unable to hold back. the hot mag boiling. below ground. spanish, gorgeous, reveal or evacuating villages, neighborhoods, while 6000 people are being looked after by the state authorities, others are sleeping rough in their cars. but for how long i am staying here because i am emotionally connected to the land. even if the lava has swallowed my hon, i want to go back to my house and learn one after the other. government officials from madrid come to the remote island for a few hours visit to show their support to local authorities who are powerless in the faith of an overflowing force of nature that cannot be contained in the management of their crises, not. and when they love to see on the contrary,
1:18 pm
the management of the crises we and will not palmer recovers each of normality and with the involvement of their different administrations. the last or option was 50 years ago. this one is far more intense. a seek river of 1000 degrees celsius love eyes slowly making its way to the ocean at contact. it will leave toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. air is filled with microscopic volcanic jagged rocks that make of the shed. and when you breathe in its suffocating, no one knows how long this will last, whether will take days, weeks, or months before this production. and despite the looming threat, andreotti he goes, concepcion does not want to leave the family restaurant behind it. lifetime of memories and moments hangs in the balance. as the sound of the volcanoes echoes closer shaking and dreyer's determination to stay till the very end. oh
1:19 pm
nicholas hock is live for us now from la palmer nicholas, it must be so extraordinary to be so close to this volcano. what is the current state of it now? okay, well it's definitely gotten louder overnight. we've heard an intense, loud explosion, and we were 40 minutes away from what we see right behind me, which is the, at the center of the reception. and so expert saying that it is intensifying. we're saying liquid magma rocks flying, hundreds of meters, 2200 meters up into the air and exploding. now, experts believe that this could go on from a few days to up to $85.00 days, so it could last a few months. but meanwhile, the evacuation of the area continues, in fact, the gorgeous, the real, the spanish security forces have cornered off kiera and continue to evacuated areas
1:20 pm
because areas are covered with ash, ash, 40 centimeters off the ground, like no really kind of paralyzing entire neighborhoods. and i can feel it right now . i'm only like in the air, is this, this think it's, i think playing choking the lungs and you can feel it in the eyes. and the idea here is try to keep people as safe as possible because as we mentioned in the story, this is a powerful force and the spanish authorities, as do, are doing as best they can to try to contain it. what they are fearing is what is to come this slow moving lava that's moving at the rate of 200 meters, a minute slowly making its way to the ocean where there will be a thermal shock as sounds in center, great celsius degree degrees south to get centigrade celsius lava pouring in into water. that is around 15 degrees. they expect an incredible explosion.
1:21 pm
and especially the fear this toxic gas could be, could be released in the air already. 60028000 tons of sulfur dioxide has been released in the year. so incredibly unusual situation. people here having experience this in this last time in their lifetime, the life last time there was a volcanic eruption. here was 50 years ago, melinda nicholas, absolute, extraordinary keep. se, nicholas hack correspondent for us near the volcano in la palmer. now ref quake has struck south eastern trailers, shaking buildings and causing damage in melbourne. the magnitude 6 quake hit on monday about 200 kilometers northeast and the country, 2nd largest city. it is wonderful strongly a strong this craigs on record and was felt as far away as sydney, 900 kilometers to the north, left some of melbourne streets littered with bricks and rubble. thankfully, no one is reported to have been seriously injured. it can be a very,
1:22 pm
very disturbing event for an earthquake of this nature, not thy very rare events and astride. and as a result, i'm sure people would have been quite distressed a disturbed by that, particularly in the most immediate area affected. now libya's 1st unified elections shed your place in this year are in doubt to after politicians on the east withdrew confidence in the transitional. government certainly been in power for 6 months. the prime minister says he will continue to lead the can take administration. malik china has a report from tripoli in a closed session on monday, the eastern base parliament and to brook said it passed the vote of no confidence in the interim unity government. but now there are questions about the transparency of the vote. and if it was even legal about the offer on the stop is just at the old time at the after reaching court for today's session with $113.00 and he's present a vote of no confidence is carried out with 18000000 m p 's voting to whole confidence
1:23 pm
from the unity government, unity government will continue its work as a caretaker government mohammed, it is an m p. he says that for a no confidence vote to be legal, at least $120.00 m. p 's most vote for it to be official list performance. what we saw today was a group of m. p. 's who agreed to carry out a vote. they entered the hall and with a minute's announced the $89.00 m p's, boats to pull confidence from the government. there wasn't any information on who voted how many voted against and who abstained in the government of national unity came to power in march. it followed a long and challenging political settlement helped by the united nations. it was task with leading the country until nationwide. elections can take place in december. and you see as it, are you the minister, the move by the parliament to vote on i know confidence motion is not in little interest. well, parliament and government shall be cooperating and intensifying that i fits to
1:24 pm
provide the right conditions the holding election that after years of conflict, libyans were beginning to feel hopeful that things were getting better. but now with clear signs of political divisions emerging, that feeling may start to fade away and put into question if elections can be held as schedule my latrina l 0. tripoli! let's get more in the story we can speak to on us. i'll go, martinez found the director of the slide deck institute, which is a libyan think tank. he joins us on skype from. it's dumble many thanks for joining the program. that has been growing tension between the tripoli based administration and the house of representatives in the east for some time. now help us understand why that is and to what extent this vote of no confidence is an escalation of that certainly escalation of that, i think we should also remember the context. this is a new unity government government that was appointed by the very man and his
1:25 pm
instrument and then choreographed the am i going to follow? so this is a new conflict or a new round of company with new actors. but it's still about the very same issues that have underlined the concrete for many years. and that seems to be a number of irreconcilable differences between the government of national unity and this the leader of the, the parliament in the, in the summer. and i'm actually out there, namely the budget that they had been debasing there for several months. the budget for the libya national army living force. and whether or not it will be subservient . so whether they get to a point administer of defense and the money that they will eventually give them individually massey of the army yourself. so these are the kinds of issues that are, are standing. they haven't been able to kind of come to an agreement over those issues with a broader picture as well. that hadn't been other issues that relate to the government of national unity, but to the broader process, the core for elections, which are now less than $100.00 days away. and that has been the constitutional
1:26 pm
framework, the checks and balance of the brand new president in the column and an electoral law. so many issues that have been left to the final minute that seem to be delaying the elections. and i think that this kind of game of britain should, we've seen this before. it's happened for several years during the last time that there was a government of national to the jna between 101619 or 20. and when we saw that period of time was, it was kind of down in britain ship. it reflects a kind of sentiment that is a desire to go to war or to force things through my toiling. they really call them the question whether or not the un today has the tools to de escalate this conflict and bring them back to the negotiation table because this can really rock the country a very dangerous time. so looking ahead, today's actions as you say, on the 3 months away, what are your thoughts? are they still going to go ahead or does that look like? you know, it's a real testimony to whether they go ahead or they don't go ahead. it's the context behind it. you have a 100 days to get legislation. constitutional frame checks and balances in
1:27 pm
a country where the presidential power must were elected the presidency. a new election for ahead of states in a country with a tradition for stroman. people that don't give up power and that has been a rushed piece of legislation that was put through by this individual going to in the parliament. he didn't go to the bypass the normal procedures. the legal g printer didn't put it to a, actually issued a law by email and emailed it directly to the un mission thing. is that the law that established for any presidency, whether or no checks and balances are very power, no relationship to the parliament or understanding of the relationship to the ottoman and no idea whether or not he will lead power off the for years. it's just let's have election them for the best or, and shot law. so it's really, really a desperate time in terms of trying to understand what the next 100 days, my biggest for me, where this is. when i've seen this before, it looks like we're living, and that's the main problem here. there is a need to reset the personality and libya have been around for a decade,
1:28 pm
but unwilling to relinquish power. but the hiding that needs were the structures that give them the power to spoil. if we have elections, one of the leaders lead. let us give example of the man has been around for over 52 years, launch into the libya. what if he goes for the election, which we think he will? what if he loses? does he go back to being the head of the military and then dictating times to a new electric government? it's absurd to think that that's going to be the post democratic reality if he wins and he can stop by any of libya, can be accused of latoria for even the perfection of it could be as bad as letting the others find her against them as early as 2019 just picking up weapons and start fighting again. so it's really a dilemma. if you don't have election off, there is threatened to return to war and tripoli. if you do have election under the current conditions, which doesn't seem to be free and fair, and the integrity of the elections will be question, you can also get about
1:29 pm
a war. so the reality is, what is election? suppose the soul is scratching the in the back of international who want to see a new pro emerge. so cool for the withdrawal of mercenaries, mainly deployed by russia. but also deployed by, by ciocca under an agreement with the last administration. if that's the edge that they're trying to scratch and the belief that they can do that, they need to think again, that whole process means a refund because we haven't gotten one now. and ever a close to complete as i've seen them the last year. they're interesting to get your perspective on us. kemati found indirect to the subject institute. speaking to us from stumble. if you lot small coming up on the program with the budget administration is on the fire for the poor thing. my going from haiti speaking time and then reinventing the wheel call of us, get a wild ride out a new thought. if most a show in detroit to talk to us golf is put aside the period and they prepared to
1:30 pm
fight the europeans for the ryder cup. that coming up in the fall with them being a have a look at this satellite picture, catching the classes the camera with vantage tumbling down to eastern europe. that's been dragging cold air normally wind for a couple of days, not circulation rang ban. moscow has been dropping temperatures in places like the baltic states, crane and poland right down below where they should be. the rest of europe looks fairly settled to look down to the southwest corner of georgia. anything special in hebrew we've had 2 days now. stormy weather. there's been studying in the northern part of new yorker as a flood, warding at the eastern coast, suspending. see why? because the valencia that is orange topped clouds on my picture. that means heavy
1:31 pm
right? anyway, with an obvious, fairly strong, we're not pleasant conditions, relief sailors or holiday makers or locals. so eastern europe and temperatures in single.
