watching all to 0 such remind you about top stories, the sound the iran leaders have condemned what they're calling an assassination. attempt on the prime minister as a heinous and cowardly act. drones target and stuff. cut me residence in baghdad, screens and in the early hours of sunday, thousands of people have rallied and europeans capital in support of government forces passing a rebel advance to grand rebels have captured strategic towns along the highways of the capital and threatened to move on out of the number of people killed after a fuel tank exploded in sierra leone is now at least 99. the bloss happened when large crowds gathered to collect leaking fuel. also the panther collided with another vehicle in the capitol free town. now, livia, the presidency council has announced its suspending,

the foreign minister not drawn goose, is accused of administrative violations. she's also been barred from traveling just days before an international conference on libya and paris. but maybe the transitional government has rejected the decision. it says only the prime minister has a mandate to appoint counsel or suspend members of the executive. well, libya correspond, malik trana explains just what led to this disputed call to suspend the foreign minister. in the recent interview, neza mon goose, the minister of foreign affairs. she said that she was willing to work with us and british authorities to expedite a libyan citizen who was a lead suspect in the lock of evolving. now if you remember, the lockerbie bombing was a panel flight where good there was accused of planting a bomb, which blew up over locker in scotland. over $270.00 people were killed a but according to libyan authorities, this was a case that was,

that was resolved under get duffy's regina. he paid out compensation also. so they were infuriated at the, at the, the, the statements by national goose that she was willing to open up this case once again, and bring about the can of warms. this will allow international scrutiny over 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 was the highest authority 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. well, i'm sorry, and your son wanda. he is a professor of political science and international relations at catholic university . he specializes in politics of the ma grub and joins us here in the hall via skype professor molig, they're describing what triggered all of this,

that this dispute about just to has the authorities and make the decision to, to pay this ongoing. so what is a status at the moment? will she be going to paris? well, i think it is said the decision to respond to the foreign minister for the b a that's not forget it properly. and it has been taken by depression. does a do business with council, which the government rejects that shows a deep division between the political actors in libya, especially given this international conference in paris and also the elections, the scheduled for the 24th of december. i think that he did a statement that she would collaborate with us. i over to 100 the handling of this particular little, i suspect for the lockerbie bombing in my view is not to deep the domain. the reason why it is she was removed from our office pump,

one only for about 14 days, pending investigation, i believe. but although a decision pertaining to the court of a number of ambassadors like the living ambassador in the u. s. and in oman, andi arab league, she claimed that dealer credentials are expired. but as far as the leap in law is concerned, she does not have the authority to appoint all to at he called in a battles on. so she has been very vulcan against the turkish presence in libya and doug angled, a number off, a conservative a move islamic grouping's aid in the country. oh oh, there are a number of alter or 1000, but i will mention well at 6 weeks away from these elections and need all the in

fighting it with. thank you see the elections happening as planned or even happening at all? a da da, so far the elections are happening unless the reserve something dramatic. so everybody wants this particular election the national community do you and for example, are her came? honda was faulty directions as we have seen mister huff turtle. and he signed his position from the military and just over 3 months before the holding of the election. so all the signs are del for directions to be had, but nothing is guaranteed. the development on the ground over the next few weeks will tell us whether the elections would be held on monday, as well as all related to yourself as clearly disagreement within the political leadership in libya. either how to engage with the rest of the wild st. just how deep to these divisions, guy between the transitional government and the presidency canceled. you think?

what did the divisions acquaint to the big and one of the reasons folders on one of the examples for this is the removal of the company and woven of the foreign minister, weirdly to prisoners gung, the council really moved her, whereas the government said h business as usual to do business with counsel does not have the light to do so if they need not agree on this baltic in all this bottle issued. and the divisions are quite big as far as dealing with the international community. let's not forget that this government or the moment has one particular mandate is old in elections on the 24th of december, which wiggly result in a more of a, the democratic government. and it is up to the political government to destroy,

to make the big plans for the future. lativia are for how all of our all also for under that professor plesco and political thank finance. nashville asians, kathy university. always great to get your thoughts on out as are you. so thank you for joining do no mere laws, military may have committed crimes against humanity. that's the assessment of a you and body investigating the actions of the military since it seized power and accrue and february, they've told out as here as mike hannah, that there is evidence of systematic attacks on civilians. what we've seen more recently is an increase in violence by the opposition, the call for civil war and small groups warming. and frankly, this obviously increases the violence and complicates our work. there's issues about what violence is lawful on both sides. and the situation simply gets more complicated and day by day. now the mechanisms role is

to collect co, late, preserve the evidence. you have no pounds a prosecution. how important is it to retain this evidence and collected over a period of time? evidence will degrade over time. memories will fade witnesses, will die. graves will be the bodies will degrade over time. so it's important that while the crumbs are fresh, the evidence is preserved. but also, i think, aside from whether any court ever handles the material, it's very important for it to be preserved. it's important for victims to know someone cares about what happened to me and someone is, is collecting this. they believe me, they want to know what happened, and it's very important that potential perpetrators know if you commit this act, someone is collecting evidence and hopefully that will act as some type of deterrent to further horrendous violence. you'll mechanism started to her 2018 the

year after the events of 2017. you mention what the us has described as essentially, genocide is a process in which having acted with virtual impunity. at that stage the military is enable to continue to up its game. so to be resulting in the coo in february, you know mike, after the coo and after the uptick and violence against peaceful demonstrators and me in law, we received a dilution of communications from people largely in me and mar, wanting to share evidence with us. and also asking us, please, we need accountability please, when you need to hold people to account, bring us justice. how important is your collation of evidence in terms of bringing this to a halt, stopping the cycle. i think it's critical. we want to be the central repository, collecting all relevant evidence, because some day this may be used, we're going to collect it. we're going to analyze it,

and we'll prepare files that will facilitate prosecutions in national or international courts. and protesters in georgia, i'm calling for the release of former president mc elsa has really so it was really was jail last month when he returned to the country after being convicted in a censure of abuse of power. he's currently on a hunger strike and demonstrates as a demanding his media transferred to a private clinic because he's getting weaker authority, say the 53 year olds, vital signs and normal now pushed by us president joe biden to require employees of large businesses to be vaccinated. against the 19 is facing a legal challenge. a federal appeals court has now temporarily blocked the move. the mandate requires companies with more than $100.00 employees to ensure that their staff a vaccinated. so if you haven't received the job, then require to be tested weekly. the pandemic has claimed more than 750000 lives in the united states. so font or gangs in haiti,

increasingly targeting schools and students. the you and children's agency. unicef says criminals are forcing teachers to pay so called protection money. risk being abducted john 100 reports from puerto prince. emma in haiti's capital learning is a dangerous business. the education of the use of puerto prince occurs behind iron gates beneath spiral blades of barbed wire. in an atmosphere of pervasive fear. i'm afraid that the gangs might come and kidnap me. i don't feel good, but i do it because i love school. principal villages. older bear runs this school on a shortage of funds and students. a few crisis leaves many out of work and unable to afford education, nor even the commute said to everyone worries about kidnapping, but we keep working. we operate on fit for many of hades,

youngest and most vulnerable getting there is the most dangerous part of the day. i sometimes have gunshots on my way to school, although i'm for i don't have trouble going because i live close. yeah, he's children has become a black market commodity. in recent weeks, the countries powerful gangs have increasingly used a vacuum of political and police power in the capital to rob teachers and snatched their students for ransom. a week ago this school was open, then some gangsters spotted a parent at the bank, followed in here, killed the parents in injured several others. now like many schools in haiti, this one is close. parents arrived to find uniformed children on stretchers, leaving teachers across the capitol, afraid to come to work, but often showing up anyway. i hope they'll be a change because the way we're teaching kids right now in the summer is not

favorable. my hope is that the situation we have right now will change, so we can function when you, despite the dangers each day, thousands of children arrive in class after braving the capital streets. but for many, the price of education in haiti, his simply become too high. john henderson, al jazeera, puerto prince, now catholics and the mexican border city of flores has held a mass and memory of people who have died, attempting to cross the desert into the united states. an oldtime was decorated with photographs and the belongings of dead migrants and refugees. human rights groups say hundreds have die and try and make that coughing. justice. yeah. if the annual funds always daniel, just this year, we've had more than $500.00 migrants deceased on their way. it's sad besides suffering so many grievances since they departed their countries and cities of origin. these brothers have also found death. that's why today we joined in prayer, asking for all our migrant brothers in particular for those who have died this year
