. they have retaken control of most of the gray region. and they have now taken the offensive into neighboring alpha and regions with the intention of lifting the blockade on to the right and bringing the yoke in federal government to the bargaining table. the areas that have been bombed the facilities are far behind the front lines. they are at best sort of dual use facilities that could be civilian, might have been re purpose for. ringback for military reasons, but in general in warfare, you know, this sort of strategic bombing aiming for targets that really don't have any tactical or immediate value has as a very mixed record at best. and in some ways it seems to be galvanizing the 2 grand defense forces and their supporters. libby is electro commission says

candidate registration for december's elections will begin next month. that the countries to rival legislative houses have yet to decide on how the vote will work . the peace deal struck last year means both must agree on a political framework before the elections can actually take place. i think china is in tripoli. he explains more about what is yet to be agreed ahead of the elections. we're just 2 months away from the scheduled nationwide elections in libya, but there's still some question that's what kind of elections libyans will see. will they be a general election with the parliamentary elections? what we see a parliamentary presidential election simultaneously? those are questions that have yet to be resolved, as the size have yet to agree upon a constitutional framework for those elections to be held. now earlier today, imagine say at the head of the high national electoral commission said

a few things. one, he said the commission will not deviate from its commitment to implement free and fair elections. he says we plan on opening the door for candidates to register and the 2nd half of november. and this is really where the divide happens. who can run for president? what kind of powers the president have? according to the libyan political agreement, signed in 2015. the high council of state based in tripoli and the house of representatives, the parliament based and eastern libya. have to agree upon this framework to hold elections here and in tripoli. they've set some conditions. they voted on the conditions for who can run for president. that bar you have to control eastern eastern libya. they've allowed, they voted for condition that allow for have to, to, to run for president. now whether or not the very side, the high council state and the parliament can agree upon a framework within these couple of weeks in order for the elections to be held us

schedule. we're not really sure. and we're going to have to wait and see what kind of solution the various sites come up with an order for libyan to be able to carry out the vote. william laurence is a professor at the american university and a former us diplomats, who serves in tripoli. he says, libyans are tar just the current government and holding elections would be a major step forward. the reason we're having election is because the libyan population doesn't want the current government to stay in charge. it wants those parliamentary bodies. he mentioned even less to stay in charge. and one of the irony here is that the other responsibilities they're claiming to come up with the constitutional basis for elections under the 2015 agreement. neither of them ratify that agreement. and so really what needs to happen is both sides just have to forge forward with elections, which are going to produce as many problems. so, but really, libyans want to turn a page after 6 years of civil war. and

a major step forward is the whole election and the big international conference last week in tripoli. what's for that reason? well, the, the very senior agent from trance from the us, from other countries, pretty much every outside power. they deal with their accept, the mercedes and the parties are supporting a political load or a military solution. so there's a lot of reasons why this could fail, but there's a lot of impetus to make it happen. investigate is in hates. he has so far failed to trace a group of american and canadian missionaries kidnapped 10 days ago as furs grow about their safety church leaders or warrants about their safety. attacking religious institutions was always considered off limits by criminal gangs that they have now become lucrative targets. manual wrapper reports from haiti's capitol. it's early morning in puerto prince and worshippers dressed in their sunday best are on their way to church as

sits in front of the presidential palace is because most of them are pro military. they want the military to take over and take charge of the country. many of them telling all to 0 that they want the military to handle the affairs of the nation until elections are held because they said that the government is representative. now the governor of her tomb issued a statement just after the dispersing of the protesters saying that those who are behind the blockade off the bridges and the roads are members of the former ruling party, which was assa, from power on april 2019 following months of anti government protest, he said that there are also a part of the groups that are participating in front of the city and trying to destabilize the, the country and trying to make it very hard for people to move. so that people can be a get frustrated to the point that they're drawn into violence now and again, the sit in has been going on for more than of for more than a week with processes demanding that prime minister of the land of dissolve his cabinet. and that the result of

gardeners dying words. i can't breathe, became a national rallying cry against police brutality. 5 years later, pennsylvania was fired from the new york police department, and the city settled a wrongful death claim with gartner's family for several $1000000.00. but 7 years on gardener's mother, gwen carr says there is still work to be done. there is no justice for eric, eric is gone, but we still need closure and closure. what look like to me? if all those offices who was involved in my son's death that day, stand accountable. and there was transparency and which we know all of that was try and tried to be hidden. a judge granted when cars request to hold a judicial inquiry inter son's death. such inquiries are very rare. the last time one was held here in new york was over a 100 years ago, and it's not

a trial. there will not be a jury, and nobody will be found guilty or innocent when it's over. but it's a way for lawyers to question powerful people that dealt with gardener's death and a way to get a public record of who knew what, when and why certain decisions were made. in a setback to the gardener family, the judge decided new york mayor bill de blasio does not have to testify saying he can instead submit a written statement despite being directly named in the inquiry. one of the critics say that reasoning undermines the very point of what the inquiries meant to address transparency. how do we whole our public leaders accountable if they're allowed to just submit statements, right? when you're named on a case and you're not being called to be active, participating, vocal and under sworn oh, it's
