9:04 pm
wants to restore unity after a decade of conflict since his father was deposed. so who is safe, fell his lam qaddafi while he was educated in the west and was seen as a potential successor for his father until the 2011 revolution changed libya's political landscape. he was captured by an armed group from the city of in town and held there until 2017, 2 years earlier. the internationally recognized government in tripoli had sent in safe gadhafi to death in absentia, but he was liter pardoned. he is also wanted by the international criminal court for alleged crimes against humanity. our libya correspondent malik trina has more, this is a big deal to day. you know, after nearly a decade of hiding were seen safer slam on video, or if in southern libya. so are very surprising for many people weren't even sure that safest noun was alive yet alone or applying to become the next president.
9:05 pm
after 10 years of conflict, i think people are shocked, surprised, definitely. he has some support base and they're, and they're excited to see him back in the, in the political or a political position dubious, deeply divided. so he does have some support. i don't think he's gonna be a serious contender. our for president, but it will definitely showcase that the libyans that are reminiscing of a time when libya was much more stable. although under, you know, a totalitarian rule but more stable, more secure people could work and move across the country freely. that's not happening now. so there is definitely a percentage of libyans that reminisce of the times before 2011 and, and, and, and would possibly vote for safely slam. but we just saw a few days ago, a conference in paris where the international community was saying that elections must go ahead. but there is some serious issues with that. a constitutional
9:06 pm
framework, a has yet to be agreed upon by the rival legislative branches. they are still discussing what kind of powers as a president have are, but the high national electoral commission is still moving along and taking up, taking his application. a brain for a hat is an associate professor of conflict resolution, abil doha institute. he explains what support there is for another qaddafi. he has some support among the former regime loyalists. and also he has some support within some set and play novels. they're not much, it's not the home support. they are in places like many, well either one on and in some other bible horses ab, i don't think he has any chance of winning this election. i don't think he, he himself thinks that he has a chance. but for him, i think this is a political message that he is trying to send, that he's becoming again back to the political part of the game and also that he
9:07 pm
can run corporations. and he is ignoring international. busy criminal court requests for him to be handed over to the i to see. so that's, i think the political message is what we're seeing behind that. and he is doing it now as we see the jelly p and law. and it's not the major driving force that we think the civic center. and i think because it depends where, you know, what area are we talking about? we know that it's deeply divided between east and west, but we, we are seeing triple a slab actually is running from the south. so it's completely outside this area within the eastern with equation. so we come in with up with a different from a different area bell and ruth is urging the you not to impose further sanctions

over the migrant crisis at the border with poland. the foreign minister spoke with the top diplomat and infested fed, saw being taken to reduce the number of people crossing into poland. western nations have accused of encouraging migraines to enter. i found big has the latest from the polish side of the border. with bennett. this secretions on the state of emergency very much the way that they are playing it, the narrative that they are pushing that this is some sort of accept the truth here on the border. on not fighting, there's no shot really been fired. what they're doing is stopping people, crossing the board, including women and children, will what we have seen is this large troop presence up and down. some of these roads receive convoys of military and police vehicles. this check points throughout this area. now searching vehicles asking for identification, but regardless of how many truths or security personnel on the board as somebody around 15000 people are still managing to get through. we've spoken to people that
9:09 pm
might get through in the last week. they went through the forest and made it to this side of polar. and then what we're hearing from them is that they will shift bussed to the border on the, on the bus route inside by the belly, recent authorities, but also sometimes sent back once they cross the border by polish authorities and sent back several times before they actually made it, and i will also hearing some of the tactics that the polish authorities are using. they're using bright lights in the dark, lots of noise. and some of these people at the board of a funny, very difficult to sleep. it's very destructive border. this adds to the freezing temperatures, but yesterday we did go into the exclusion zone in the forest and we found clothes and food very fresh from people that had actually made the across then, to moorhead on the news hour, including the world's reacts to the glasgow climate plant with some despite the
9:10 pm
live as an utterly trail. sedans newly council meets for the 1st time a day after mass wiley's against the military takeover will have the latest from carter. and his farewell to a legend of motorcycle racing is valentina rose. he calls it a day after 25 years. we look back on his career in sports. ah, austria is imposing a nationwide lockdown for unvaccinated people. anyone older than 12 will only be allowed to leave their homes to get jobs or for essential shopping. their concerns that rising corona virus cases are putting the house system at risk of collapse. police will be checking to ensure that people have been vaccinated. diondra, we have decided to do that from monday. there will be a locked down for on vaccinated people in austria. this means restrictions on going on for everyone over the age of 12. private living quarters may only be left in
9:11 pm
exceptional cases, vexes limited to vaccinated people who are people who have recovered from co 19 will apply in the retail sector tomorrow, and unvaccinated people will no longer be allowed to visit shops. as darrow for more than basic supplies, for like clothing, shops, sport, shops, or furniture shops, live to poll brennan has falling the story for us from london. so poor, how're our austrian authorities going to enforce his new role? what is going to be sport checks from police and extra patrols are going to be mounted in order to check that those people who are out and about in the austrian cities are entitled to be there. basically. i mean, this has been coming for several days now. it was telegraphed by the new chancellor and he was at pains to say that he didn't want the unfairness of vaccinated people having to go into lockdown because of the reluctance. what he'd said was dithering of those people who were still refusing to be vaccinated or wavering on the fence
9:12 pm
of whether or not to be vaccinated. so he's decided to make this distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated. and those who have not have their jobs or who have not had corona virus in the past, short period of time, will have to stay at home unless the, until those specific circumstances that you mentioned can be fulfilled by going to groceries. or perhaps even going out and getting their job. there have been some small protests. i saw a couple 100 people on youtube in salzburg today, but in general, the austrian people appear to be accepting this because frankly, the alarm bells are ringing. austria had 13000 new infections on saturday. that's an old time record. it's vaccination rates or the number of people fully vaccinated is about 17th in the rankings. as far as european nations goes just 63.4 percent according to one figure, i've seen that pretty low. and the concerns are that the, the, the corona virus pandemic in austria is going to get out of control as the winter
9:13 pm
approaches. and now swain year of the cases have also been rising, especially in, in eastern europe. yes, i mean, it is a very mixed bag across europe of central and eastern europe, where vaccination levels are pretty low in the sort of 60 percent. that there are problems there. yes. and that's in austria is, is bundled together in that, in southern europe. i have to say the vaccination rates are pretty high, but that does seem to be a kind of core of people who are perhaps a little bit complacent. the they've been granted their freedoms, the shops, in some countries of reopened, restaurants have reopened again at without a sizable proportion of people needing to get vaccinations. and, and that kind of reopening policy does appear to be bearing the fruits and the danger that is got the alarm bells ringing now with the vaccination, sorry, with the infection rates going up. so germany, for example, is going to discuss imposing new restrictions in the coming week. latvia,
9:14 pm
for example, is decided that parliamentary lawmakers and peas will not be allowed to participate in debates or votes unless they have been vaccinated. that's the kind of proposal that some been put together in latvia so you can see how countries across europe are very worried. thank you, paul, for that pole barn and live in london. well, among those countries badly have, by the pandemic, his full gary at the least fascinated country and the european union with fewer than one 3rd of its adults fully vaccinated and its response has been effected by political uncertainty. the polls have just closed in bulgaria, in the 3rd parliamentary vote there this year, many are concerned about widespread corruption and its impact on the economy. let's go live to join a whole who's in sophia for join us. so i understand that the 1st exit polls coming out, what are they showing?
9:15 pm
well, an election and election process really brought about by anti corruption demonstrations last year in which the number one issue for many, many people was corruption. many people wanting to see an end to the damage wrought by more than a decade of rule by boy co boris of his center. right, good party. people wanting to smash, opened wide circles of patronage that have taken in the government and big business . oligarchs, the mafia, even the judiciary will there are for them. certainly the seeds of change in these exit polls. mister boris subs, party still gaining close to a quarter of the vote. according to to exit. polls received not enough to govern alone, and he has no potential coalition partners behind him. a number of parties, collectively known as the parties of change, lead by one the continued the change party. it's led by to harvard, the educated economists whose avowed aim it is to reduce corruption in this country to 0. that party has a quarter of the vote backed up by the other to another 15 percent, potentially supported by the soldiers,
9:16 pm
socialists in any governing coalition that can be hammered out. that puts them across the line. it wouldn't be a conventional political coalition. these are parties from different sides of the political i'll, but united fundamentally and the desire, as i said, to turn back the clock on the board so decade to reduce option or eliminated altogether in this country. that is the poorest nation in the european union, and largely at this point anyway, because of many years of corruption and an election also that's taken place i'm. it's verging corona, virus infections. jonah, what sort of effect has that had? well, the turn out looks as though it's been pretty low that may well have been to do with the pandemic. it may well be to do with the voter apathy, but in the last 7 months is the poll the countries gone to the polls. now, 3 times a lot of public policy issues have been put to one side, covert among them, apart from some pretty and popular measures introduced by the interim government.
9:17 pm
it's very clear that the public here are not into health and control measures. they resistance are very high level of propaganda and misinformation about code in the vaccines online that leads to that vaccination figure. you mentioned that just 23 percent of adults are now a surgeon pandemic with a desperate something like 7 times the e. you average no party was going to win this election by promising to reintroduce covert measures, but i think they may find when they eventually take office, but they may have no choice. john hall in sophia. thank you very much. well, let's take a closer look now at the previous elections in bulgaria, 7 political groups are competing for 240 seats in apartment. 121 seats are needed to form a government in april. the party of long time need a boy. oh boy, soft came 1st but failed to form a government, a newly formed anti establishment and party emerged as a national force but wasn't able to form a coalition. 3 months later, i t. n took
9:18 pm
a shot victory finishing one percent ahead of boys soft party. despite the surprise it couldn't use the momentum to end the stalemate. well, let's speak to a sailor channel about this. she's a program director at the european council on foreign relations in sophia bulgaria capital. very good to have you with us on the south here and news. do you think this 3rd election will end the political fail needs in bulgaria? what are the possible scenarios here for the outcome? to answer your question or in with one worth? i would say yes. it seems like everybody is convinced that after this election there needs to be a government. and that people's will is finally to have a work in government. the difference between this election and the previous to which you described is that there is another new political force. it's called continuing change. and they seem to be really
9:19 pm
a fight thing at the moment with would a source for to get for the 1st place in this election. and with their quite striking results were we may see at the end the reformist majority that would be able to form a government after the selection. indeed the p. p, the, we continue to change this new political party of the economy minister that com who has been compared by the way to emanuel michael france or even just intruder of canada was formed only 6 weeks ago. what is it about this party that is attracting voters to it? and you know, as jonah was se corruption, a big issue for many voters. what change do they think this party and whatever coalition it comes up with, can bring about this duly. there is demonstrates that they are competent, they were ministers in the caretaker government. they did a really not only say,
9:20 pm
but also do i what people were expecting. namely to take steps in dismantling corruption in dismantling the networks of the previous regime. and the, the, you know, they sorry to new faces. well educated, young live, grow this, this is in a way the change that bo, gear and needs in the long run. we're europe, of course, is looking at this election very closely. bulgaria being the poorest country of the european union, wanting to adopt the european currency in the next few years. you know, they are obviously watching this closely. but looking at what europe's want out of this, what would a prolonged uncertainty mean for, for bulgaria and for the european union as a whole quite clearly the universal membership is one big issue. but if you look at the situation bulgarian, you mentioned this in your previous piece. there is
9:21 pm
a very severe coffee crisis. we do have also the coverage recovery that we need to. ringback take care of, there is the european recovery plan that will gear it needs to think about the green deal. and there are several issues on the next government plate which are very pressing. and i think this is also something do you has expected to see somebody taking responsibility for all these big issues? and i think the both the internal expectations for having a functional government then the ex 30, no one for you know, dealing with all this issues is going at the end, produced the government. now we should not
9:22 pm
a full ourselves. there is also the possibility of having the status quo reinstalled. it's a much smaller possibility as it looks like tonight. but it's still in the cards. so i think this is another point of concern for the if i'm in it as far as the next couple of days are concerned. yeah, it'll be interesting to see how it opens on. thank you very much for talking to us for c, like chairman of our, from the council on foreign relations. thank you for your time. in sudan, the army chief s jed, the 1st meeting of the new sovereign council. since the military take over, the body replaces the power sharing arrangement that was dis, old by general abdel fattano han late last month. it's been criticized by the un for excluding the recently outfits civilian leadership. and this follow saturdays nationwide. rallies against the military takeover. live to re so said are in the capital car to me of race all the yes. so the 1st
