people to see or in this way i say, to our partners or across the channel. now is the time for us all that to step up or to work together to do everything a we can to break these gangs who are literally getting away with murder. these people did make it to the english coast on wednesday after being picked up by volunteers from the royal national life boat institution. there among the roughly 25000 people who've crossed from france this year, 3 times last year's figure. but and still receives far fewer asylum claims than countries such as germany or france. but the government currently introducing legislation which would penalize asylum seekers who use so called illegal roots like crossing the channel rights groups. point out legal routes are inaccessible for most and in reality, given how desperate these people are to reach the u. k. more tragedies can't be rolled out. the dean barber al jazeera 3 white men in the u. s. state of georgia had been found guilty of murdering our might operate last year i pursued the 25,

that one court victory does not mean the end of systemic racism in the us. well, when, when i grew up, we couldn't, everything was separate, bathroom water, fountain eaten places. and that's a big difference. but we got a long way to go, a long way to go. i wouldn't, wouldn't go as far to say was a huge leap, but it was a step in the right direction. nonetheless, it is striking that in the state of georgia, one of the most historically notorious of the south fullest slave owning states, a jury of 11 white people and one black person could reach such unanimity and in such a short amount of time. and let the word go for of all over the world that a jewelry of 11 white and one black. come on in the deep south. good up in the court rica has said that black lab do, man, oh, thank you. thank you. but those who might those who pray most of the was

when the democrats had their 1st debate, there were 20 people running for president. and they had to have the debate over 2 nights. so it remains are extraordinarily difficult, but necessary process for libya here to try to find a way to construct a free and fair election. and indeed, libya has still has a lot of major challenges. it remains a very fractured country. at the moment. are you concerned about how the selection is going to be is going to progress whether it will be free and fair, whether it will be peaceful and so on. i'm quite confident in libya's intentions. i'm not necessarily confident in its capabilities, obviously, as we know, it's been racked by instability and violence, you know, for 10 years, you know, since the removal of more market offering. and so it remains the enormous challenge

. and the fragmentation here that we're seeing, if, even in the 73 people who remain at the present time, you're qualified to run. it remains enormously difficult for libya to, to have an election, again, popular support. and then you know, for the government that follows. it has a lot of work to do and not a lot of time to do it. as you said, there 72 names for voters to choose from. that's quite a large amount in for any election for, for one position. so i suppose name recognition would, would, would count for a lot here and that would suggest that for, after i would would have the upper hand in that department. well, certainly in a part of the country that may be true. but the problem with cut off and half tar is that, you know,

for everyone who supports there is undoubtedly one or more who objects, you know, given that the role they played, both recently and historically, in the significant divisions that, that you, that, that created the libyan civil war back in 2011. and this is kind of trying to pull a rabbit out of out if you will. you know, like, where is there a figure, a political figure that can grow you? that can not only have the name recognition that may be necessary to win the elections. but more importantly can begin the process of unifying the country and building popular support for what the government needs to do. good to talk to p. j . crowley. thanks very much for your perspective. always the pleasure of the united nation special envoy for libya has quit just weeks before those elections. young cuba had been in the row for less than a year. diplomatic. it's james bay's reports from un headquarters in new york.
