4:03 pm
france because it's not a member of the permanent members of the security council. one of the permanent 5 it's, it's also a nato ally and in history, the longest ally that the u. s. has had. so i'm trying to some effort to try and repair the damage, i think from the u. s. president, in this phone call, we have no idea at this stage on the timing of that phone call. another participant in the route because the security packed with australia involves us, but also the u. k. is the u. k. prime minister par is johnson. he's been in washington, he's been visiting president biden. afterwards he spoke to reporters and he was asked about this and he said, i think it's time for some of our dearest friends to donate and break. give me a break. so i show, he's pretty any great olive branch is out towards the french. at this point we're telling you the u. k. prime minister been in washington on his way back to new york . he will be addressing the general assembly towards the end of the session today. in new york,

4:05 pm
some of the developing countries in the world, which still have very, very low vaccination rates. the aim of this summit, according to president biden, is to vaccinate the world to save lives now, and then that rather hackneyed phrase that he's using and everyone keeps using. but you know what he means they're going to build back better. at the un general assembly meeting going on for a few more days, what more can we expect from it? there's a lot going on. there's lots of different meetings taking place ahead of the the, the next meeting will leaders. there is one other meeting that is taking place in the main hall and the general assembly hall, and that's the commemorate she can follow on events from an event back in 2001 the durban convention and anti racist convention. i can tell you some nations about 30 mainly western nations, a boy costing that because they see it is an event to attack israel. then in about
4:06 pm
2 hours time, the general debate starts again. all the world leaders, one off the one speaking, important one to watch. i think the king of saudi arabia, king so man will be speaking in the coming out. some will be carrying that live on . ouch is era, but i think there are also other important meetings happening on the sidelines and they concern afghanistan because we're going to be having a meeting of the 5 permanent members of the security council. their. busy foreign ministers are meeting to try and work out what to do about the taliban, and also a meeting of the g 20 group of countries. they've got a stomach coming up in rome in 5 weeks time. they again need to find a common position of how to engage and how much to engage with the new religion. cobble many thanks for that, james, by the 1st live of the un to say don, now where the sovereign councils, deputy chairman has blame tuesdays qu, attempt on politicians thing they've turned a blind eye to what people need. general mohammed hamden doug hello and the counsels president of the foster. i'd been hon. have held
4:07 pm
a news conference 21 offices on a number of soldiers have been arrested question following that attempt and take over. they tried to take control of several government institutions including state t, v, and radio stations, nevada, 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 of followed the found qu, tempt of yesterday, with the a, if managed, to defeat, into a wrist all perpetrators 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 say it 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. i've got more from heaven, morgan,
4:08 pm
who's now live for us in call to me hipaa. it's been more or less 24 hours since that failed to do we have any more clarity on what exactly happened. well, anything any more detailed as to what exactly happened in the few hours when the, when those who try to overtake the government were in power because as per sources they were able to take control of some of the army corps as well as they were able to go to the radio station and television television station before they were pushed back. so exactly what went down during those hours while they were being pushed back. that's something the military does not want to reveal. however, the military kept keeps reiterating since, since they announced that they are in control of the situation. they've been saying that their role is to preserve the security and stability of the country. they've also been accusing political parties of not focusing on what's happening in the
4:09 pm
country rather being focused on our end positions in the government. now let's take a look at the makeup of the transitional government. you have a suffering to counsel which is made up of 5 military members. 6 civilians from nominated by the ruling coalition. that's the coalition of political parties. then you have 3 members from the arm groups that signed the peace agreement when visiting the government in october last year. on the other hand, you have the executive branch that headed by prime minister abdulla him do was a civilian and has cabinet members from various political parties and from groups as well. so it's those 2 councils cabinets that make up this current, transitional government. but there's always been a war avoids between the 2 sides. there's always been tension between the 2 sides. and when i say the 2 sides, we're talking about the civilians and the military. the military has repeatedly been accusing the civilian components, especially the political parties of being focused on getting position on clinging to power. and that they're not focused on the issues that are the countries facing, such as high inflation and market prices. and the fact that many basic commodities
4:10 pm
and services are available to people who live below the poverty, the poverty line. so that's something that the military has been repeating. on the other hand, when you look at the civilian component, especially the coalition of the political parties that are currently running the government, they say that the military has been trying to hold onto power and has been unwilling to let go of some of the resources that they control such as the gold mines and such as the companies that them is that is under military control at the moment. so this tension between them. if there was hope that what happened yesterday would bring the 2 types together, but has not happened. we've heard from the prime minister yesterday saying that they were members, that the, those behind the co are members of the army, but they're also affiliated to the former regime. then you have the head of the sovereignty council, ab them, hon. and his deputy general come down there below saying that the reason why there was an attempt to clean the 1st place because political parties were not focused on the needs of the people in the country. now, if anything best,
4:11 pm
the incident that happened yesterday that attempted coup only, why didn't the gap between the 2 sides, but the party said that it's making calls. mccarthy is, of course, one of the main opposition parties said that it will make calls with the military component in the transition and government and try to arrange a meeting so that they could try to iron out their differences. other political parties have should statements. this is the sudanese congress party, also one of the main political parties here in fidel saying that the statements and the worth that have been are 3rd by both the head of the, of the sovereignty counsel and the deputy head of the sovereignty council are unacceptable. and a very dangerous and could only widen the gap between the 2 sides in the transitional government. however, morgan left for us and cartoon. thank you. libby as fast unified elections shadonia for later this year are in doubt. off the politicians in the east withdrew confidence in the transitional government and certainly been in power for 6 months
4:12 pm
. prime minister says he will continue to lead the cats. i had ministration. by like trainer reports from tripoli. in a closed session on monday, the eastern base parliament and to book 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 this top, you just at the old them at the after reaching quorum for today's session with $113.00 m. p. 's present a vote of no confidence is carried out with 800000000 m p 's voting to whole confidence from the unity government. unity government will continue its work as a caretaker government, muhammad, it is an m p. he says that for a no confidence vote to be illegal, at least $120.00 m p 's most vote for it to be official performance. what we saw today was a group of m. p. 's who agreed to carry out a vote. they entered the hall and within minutes announced the $89.00 m. p. 's,
4:13 pm
both the pul, 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 it even minister the move by the parliament to vote on i know confidence motion is not in liberal interest. parliament and government should be cooperating and intensifying that i fits to provide the right conditions. the holding election. 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. now latrina l 0, tripoli, and sell kemati is the founder and director of the deck institute. he explains be
4:14 pm
outstanding issues within the community government. i think we should also remember the context. this is a new unity. government also government that was appointed by the very man, there is instruments. eliza choreographed that both the am i going to follow. so this is a new conflict or a new round of conflict with new actors. but it's still about the very same issues that have underlined the conflict for many years. now that seems to be a number of irreconcilable differences between the government of national unity and this, the leader of the, the parliament in east, in the summer. and i'm actually author, namely the budget that they had been debating there for several months. the budget for the libya national army to live in ireland forces, office forces, whether or not they will be subservient, whether they get to a point administer of defense and the money that they will eventually give them the gentleman fee of the army itself. so these are the kind of issues that are, are standing, they haven't been able to kind of come to an agreement over that issue over the
4:15 pm
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 framework. the checks and balances are brand new president in the parliament and 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 brickman ship, we've seen this before. it's happened for several years to decades after the us invasion of afghanistan ass gowns have been returning to a jail that were held in before the taliban took over. there has been given red access to the now abandoned by graham base and prison complex. some of the inmates have made allegations of abuse and torture, but it's not been possible to independently corroborate those claims. now warning, some of you may find the testimonies, and some a been debates report the study. they call it that he'd gone to the mill or

4:17 pm
no matter how many times we said we didn't do the crime, they would torture and tell the prisoners said yes, from uniforms to prison. fellows inmates here have been telling us that this was one of the worst places to have been mentally tortured, if they did not behave well. the, the condition is, would blow very cold during the winter and very hot during the summer picked up in a right grade moltby hush me remember being blindfolded, integrated make. in the early years of the prison, he thinks they were being fed dog food, smelly meat, as he remembered that, the jim agenda rather than the college and the american girls would come dressed in bikini, take us to the toilet. we got 3 minutes were about and these girls would watch or not, but then there were no african guards here. nobody was allowed, not even the red crescent. they made us watch sexually explicit films and we weren't allowed to look away. we were sleeping our interrogations were almost 10 to 12 hours rights groups such as human rights watch,

the embattled chinese housing john f grant has agreed to a deal to avoid defaults on its interest payments. it says it will be able to pay interest on thursday. it has more than $3000000000.00 of debt, financial markets and tumbled over fears the group could collapse. investors have even protested outside the company's offices. let's get more in the story we can bring in 10 long. he's found and partner plenum and independent research consultancy joins us now live from beijing many thanks for joining us on the program. is it fair to describe this default as a controlled demolition? yeah, i think it's still too early to say and actually just said there's. ready everyone's going to pay $1.00 interest on one bond tomorrow, but actually there's another bond which is us dollar to call, which is bigger. and we still don't know what they're going to pay for that yet. so

there's still a lot of that sort of the, the air and the domestic rumors are that know, teachers domestic bond that everyone pay tomorrow. actually the most of the bonds are held by, you know, the chairman lee and he's friends. so he's not really out by the masters, so i can do all of that sort of how can the company get into this position? well, the company is one of the most of the developers in china by saying aggressive. i mean, they just like borrowing and buy land with land, you can use that as a clatter or borrow more from and then also at the bond market. so the company has long over the past decade now has this reputation of the battery that requests it by any measure ever grounds. debt defaults would be one of the largest in hit in the history of the world. lehman brothers in comparison, had about $600000000000.00 in debts when it fall for bankruptcy. and we know what
4:29 pm
happened after that. but in this case, people and not as spooked why? because you know, they say this is a bit in that actually they have 300000000000 liabilities. not really the difference between that a lot of that is what you own financial institutions. and that number in every case is 100000000000. and half of that, you know, is in china a little bit abroad. so, and, you know, and the love with that has collateral, right? so when you borrow money from the banks and then building. so even if the default to secure the land and the probably selling somebody and recycle while you're in the pays off and even brothers, you know, basically in a lot of the assets are very liquid cdo. and the basically, i mean that was nothing that was secure, no control. so it's a little bit different. let me, thanks for sending that to us 10 long found and partner plenum speaking to us from
4:30 pm
beijing. thank you. and you as time for the weather, he is rob, they may know on the news to, to the far in the sequoia national forest is rather nasty. and unfortunately conditions are not good to improve anytime soon. so it just needs fighting. the nearest cloud is really across the border and he significant where there's a long way east are admittedly things that a humid or as hot as they were taking the southern states. but they remain the same further with the rest of the fi. danger in that part of california, but you see from this forecast is the eastern states where the rain is not to fall heavily houston's down to 28 hours at $28.00 and not as human as it was. but time for the next 2 days over what is already southern grad anywhere from the great lakes. eastwards you've got another potential for heavy rain is already flooding in some places. there will be more to the south of all this. we have a little tropical spinner called peter, it's gonna stay the water so they'll produce some swell towards, for example,
