the lockerbie bombing was a pan am flight, or where libya was accused of planting, a bomb which blew up over lock of in scotland. over $270.00 people were killed a but according to libyan authorities, this was a case that was, that was a resolved under get duffy's regime. he paid out compensation are so, so they were infuriated at the a we at the, the, the statements by nature element goose that she was willing to open up this case once again and bring about it. it's a can of worms. this will allow international scrutiny of to libya by the international community. and so they were very angry that she was opening up this case again overstepping her boundaries. the presidential council as the highest authority are in the ground on, on, in the government. they're responsible for foreign policy, so they were upset,

they said that she overstepped her boundaries and she doesn't have the right to to make these kinds of statements. and so now malik, were saying, as showed and developed between the government of national unity and the presidency counseling, well what 6 weeks away from planned elections is this reflective of the level of infighting that's going on there? we are just show it just show cases that libya still deeply divided, even inside this unity government. now libya was divided for years engulfed in conflict and violence after the toppling of more, more g a dot b, good. duffy in 2011 in 2015. a u. n. facilitator agreement brought together to live in parties, the living political agreement that brought the government of national unity into power and still deeply divided. you had the internationally recognized government and tripoli. you had, he got a trans, another government, a parallel government in eastern will be run by after. but recently, after

a long and difficult process, a political settlement was able to take place that brought together this unity government just in march. but even within the government, there's lots of tensions, and this just goes to show that libyans are still deeply divided. and when this government is supposed, supposed to leave the country until the elections can take place on december 24th and just 6 weeks. whether or not we're going to see these tensions complicate the libyan issue more and thread and whether or not these elections will take place on time. we're going to have to wait and see my train of libya correspondent that without analysis for us. thanks so much money. now a series of attacks on civilians in indian and ministered kashmir has now smoked phase of a renewed conflict and the region authorities have stepped up security to try to avoid further unrest. have the metal has more oh,

down in history for the fuel in resentment. the recent incidents have triggered memories of the 19 ninety's when insurgency was at its most violent. the targeted killings of minorities was common and led to an exodus of thousands of cush meeting hindus. the government has responded by putting more soldiers and petrol, and they often frisk people, members of prime minister in the reins remote, these party jumped the party, denounced this comparison, and insist the security measures will prevent further attacks through alcove ibp. i go so, but back then separate. distant militants roamed free me. that doesn't happen. no, because they don't have any presence. a yield. veritas are becoming irrelevant, which is why they're targeting unarmed civilians and we're migrants. some political analysts accused the government of failing to stem a sense of alienation among the regions. youth that is fueling a separatist movement in the region. this is some work creating a huge sem, something skirt the among the masses,

and they appealed that they are back to the situation that was with them. the valley and other parts of jr and kashmir. in the early nineties, when in sojourn, she was acted to speak. a police investigation is underway into the civilian killing, and security forces have detain hundreds of people for questioning over the last few weeks. but shy, it's family disputes, the official version of the incident and wants a more thorough prob, they say they're waiting for justice and struggling to cope with the void left by his passing. pardon him at the al jazeera new delhi. now, morocco, as king says, control of western sahara is not negotiable, has tensions flare without jerry about. the disputed territory. king on the 6th says moroccan sovereignty in the region will never be up for discussion. morocco claims that format spanish colony as its own territory, that algeria back to the polar, sorry, of front movement. and it's fine for the independence of western sahara. and pushed

by us presidential biden, to require employees of large businesses to be vaccinated against coven 19. and now facing a legal challenge, a federal appeals court has temporarily blocked the move. the mandate requires companies with more than 100 employees to ensure that the staff, a vaccination knows you haven't received the job, then required to be tested weekly. the pandemic has now claimed more than 750000 lives in the united states. so for los is in a corolla, are going to the polls in elections, widely described as illegitimate, both at home and abroad, and present. daniel ortega is sent to for a 4th consecutive time after opposition figures were jailed all banned from running into national observers have also been prevented from overseeing that verse. our latin america editor, lucy newman, reports now from san jose and neighboring costa rica. after al jazeera was denied entry into nicaragua, as usual,

dick rob was armed forces distributed and guarded ballots ahead of sunday's presidential elections. but there's nothing usual about this one. most noteworthy is who was not on the ballot, not a single competitive candidate from nicaragua, mean opposition parties. in the lead up to the poll president, daniel ortega, who's running for a 4th consecutive term imprisoned 7 mainstream opposition candidates, and disqualified the rest, accusing them of everything from money laundering to crisen or chris. as thou, who's gone go. what we are doing is trying criminals with bloated, again, as the country, the security of our country by trying to organize another uprising. another could deter it not known as the crackdown on opposition. candidates and activists ahead of the elections. forced architect medea angeles del gallo to seek refuge in neighboring costa rica kong in lincoln, a man thought they larabee sandra valley. when the repression increased,

i started receiving direct beth threats while police surrounded my house and refused to let me leave and manage to escape before we had corruption em irregularities. but these elections, ridicule of the world's electoral system of democracy. daniel is laughing at the entire world by holding this type of vote on the e. u and international human rights organizations are calling the election of force . the biden administration has already announced it will impose new sanctions. but there are a handful of candidates the ballots. besides mr and mrs. ortega, who is the vice president, san pilgrim, we this commerce years and they are very unknown figures in the country, very little known. and they run for parties that are widely perceived as collaborators with the government. so i'm blaming this video posted on social media networks, calls on nicaraguans to protest against what is being described as a fraud by staying at home. a catholic church has also joined the campaign. b and

are in good. all city are so blessed they would be at permit miss reconditioned for everyone. bla, participated in free, just transparent and competitive presidential elections within fair solution. but president ortega is going ahead with the election overseen only by his close allies and in another, unprecedented move. he has band foreign correspondent from entering the country while hundreds of his critics have gone into hiding or into exile here in neighboring costa rica. oh, there are reports that ortega loyalists to going house to house, to intimidate voters, to cast a ballot that could make a difference in the turnout, but not in the outcome which is already a given. she, in human al jazeera sancho say costa rica who thousands of people in poland have taken to the streets there and renewed protests against a strict abortion law. the rallies response by the death of the pregnant woman

doctors didn't terminate her fetus despite determining it wouldn't survive. the woman's family says she was denied life saving treatment because the doctors were too scared to break the abortion all. poland began and forcing and near total ban on abortions and january another demonstration is energy work as a rallied outside, the european union's office in the polish capital, warsaw. they say you attempt to discourage the use of coal. awesome blame for soaring energy prices. they say that willing to jump cuts and the whole industry is a major employer in the country that gets more than half intellect, tricity from coal o. elsewhere in europe, then scotland is a wild liza in the transition to renewable energy. but now, plans to develop a new oil field and the north sea are still going ahead, even though many platforms remain unused. nick clock reports from comedy, fath in northern scotland. it's not a view you'd expect from a village, high street, 300 kilometers north of the climate talks in glasgow. a vision perhaps of the

future. unused oil and gas rigs park top in chromarty, furth, not pumping fossil fuels from the depths of the north sea. the earth is a barometer of the states. if you case oil and gas industry. when this downturn gets pretty crowded, these platforms are awaiting new contracts. the contracts will be few and far between as the move to renewables gathers pace. at the end of 2019 the oil and gas authority estimated there were between $10.00 to $20000000000.00 barrels of oil still to be recovered in the north sea. in fact, as i speak, was a bit under way to open up the john combo oil field, about 250 kilometers to the north of it, around the shetland islands. but the reality is, says the move away from fossil fuels govern pace sites like this will become more and more common. whitely wind farm south of glasgow, the 2nd largest onshore wind farm in europe. across scotland, wind power is

a big part of the energy mix in a country that's aiming to be carbon neutral by 20455 years ahead of much of the world here. 215 turbines generate enough power 435-0000 homes. in 2020, nearly 100 percent of scotland energy came from renewable sources. which raises the question why the need to invest in new oil field at all? this was a, by all of us getting on the same journey. okay, and getting on the revolution because it's more of a revolution than a journey. in all honesty, i'm to 2050 and that's the target is to get us the 2015. net 0 by 2050. so you can't just switch everything off immediately. i'm so oil and gas production is still a massive part of the economy. it's a massive part of how we holmes are wholly fuel or transport system. so we need to go on that transition. we need to go not revolution and that will happen over

a period of time. back in chrome, it's either the yellow stanchions of offshore wind turbine stand, sentinel ready to be deployed out at sea, where the petroleum platform has rained for decades. and as the all rig becomes slowly redundant, the renewable sector is expanding a pace. the re plans here in the 1st for a hydrogen hub and to create a base for floating wind farms. but the transition away from fossil fuels needs to be carefully managed to make that a success for everybody involved, including the work as we need to make sure it is good quality jobs for them to move into. that means that renewables need to be trading enough jobs and that she has to be a pathway set of people can move from the fossil fuel jobs to the green jobs. there is no doubt about the direction scotland is heading in. the question is, how far behind will the rest of the wealthy mcclark al jazeera cromartie furth, scott, now archaeologists have unearthed a 2000 year old room near the ancient roman city of pompei. the well preserved area
