special envoy to libya has said he is determined to go ahead with a planned national peace conference in a week's time there are now fears of a renewed civil war libya has been riveted by violence and division since longtime dictator moammar gadhafi was overthrown in two thousand and eleven. general have to us troops advancing towards the capital tripoli a bold thrust against libya's internationally recognized government commanders of have to self-styled libyan national army say their forces have reached the city limits. this is great progress it means we are technically inside tripoli we still have a few checkpoints to secure but the battle will be on the outskirts of the city. ranged against have to brigades forces loyal to the government the struggle for power and control of libya's oil began with the fall of the dictator moammar gadhafi nearly eighty years ago and remains on result. the united

nations in new york is calling for an end to the war mongering the members of the security council expressed their deep concern that to military activity. here tripoli which risks libya and stability he called on any forces to halt all military movements. and they also called on all forces to deescalate and halt committee terry activity they can be no military solution to the conflict. as government backed militias deployed to defend the capital tripoli the risk of an escalation to all out civil war remains alarmingly high. it's a risk that's also on the minds of the g seven foreign minister who missed ministers who were holding talks in france right now so for more let's cross to our

correspondent byrne rickard who's standing by in denial. how is the situation in libya seen among the foreign ministers bearing do the german foreign minister i could must say that all the g seven members of course very very about the situation in libya are they all parties that to hold every military action and they singled out of cause the generals have to and his militias. who are drawn saying on the capital. and all that say that has to stop and the italian foreign minister in some of the needs he called general huffed and he spoke with him on the phone and he said he no one seemed to consider just to hold his military actions but it is clear that g seven has no direct pressure to exert on this militia in libya. so what exactly makes him think that the libyan warlord will listen to them

at all. but the jews haven't issued a statement saying that they've been did not use all the diplomatic channels they have to influence what they can influence in libya of course they have some economic interests also involved because many european states like france and italy have oil companies booking in libya. connections to some of the fractions of the militias and they also connections to the. recognized international government in tripoli so they want to talk actually there's no military action in the making no military invention from the g seven so far and that will not happen even the americans said we won't do that and this is a point that the g seven was very united the ministers that. does the international community have any leverage whatsoever to lend weight to its demands.

not really have to be frank really just watch it the united nations is trying to hold the political talks to to. buttress the political. talks in libya and the system they had in place but this no really means to pressure the militia. thanks so much. now to some of the other stories making news around the world more towns and villages are being evacuated in western iran as heavy rains are expected to resume after years of drought torrential downpours over the last two weeks have caused widespread flooding in the region at least seventy people have lost their lives and shelters have been set up to house those displaced by the floods. former u.s.

a logistics operation of massive proportions as planes took off from ataturk airport for their new base hundreds of trucks and other vehicles rolled in to ferry almost fifty thousand tons of equipment their destination is stumble airport. the eleven billion dollar complex is one of president. signature mega projects that reflect his ambitions to turn turkey into a global power and istanbul into a key hub connecting europe with asia and the arab world despite turkey's economic downturn it aims to be one of the world's biggest airports within a decade. airline employees at the old airport were looking forward to a new era. when it isn't their sadness about leaving but we're also excited and happy to be moving to the new airport. we hope it will bring good fortune small god willing it will be great. but the project has seen turbulence it's been criticized

by environmentalists economists and urban planners activists were arrested after protests over wage and working conditions and rights groups have leveled accusations that a rush to finish the job resulted in accidents that cost dozens of workers their lives. for more let's speak to our correspondent in istanbul on your earlier this is clearly a massive and important project for turkey built in record time no less tell tell us about its scale. well yes this project is massive to say the least ten thousand pieces of equipment have been moved from the old. to the new istanbul airport according to turkish allan's this is enough material to cover thirty three football fields so this gives you a dimension and the whole abrasion is expected to be completed by midnight so after roughly just forty five hours and for the airport itself its giant i've been there

i've seen it and it's expected to grow according to the management this airport will be the world's largest airport with two hundred million passengers a year within the next ten years right now the world's largest airport to my knowledge is in atlanta in the u.s. with one hundred million passengers a year so these of figures if you listen to the figures if you see the figures that's quite intimidating especially if you're from germany and you look at the new bird an app that was expected to open there eight years ago but it's still not finished we still don't know when the new bird an airport will open so to speak the pace of this project here in istanbul really is exceptional. from the government. what are the critics. well i talked to activists here who

say this new app is an environmental disaster they say more than six hundred thousand trees have been cut down to make space for the airport they also say air and soil pollution will increase in the area and and then the workers who built this area this airport yoram air already mentioned that. they have protested terrible working conditions according to official figures more than fifty workers have been killed at the site mostly due to a lack of security precautions so all of this of course overshadows the megaproject the shiny megaproject of the government but this is information that's not really widely covered in the media here the media overwhelmingly pro government so that something the government doesn't want to hear and of course turkey is right now going through a very difficult economic period inflation is high prices are on the rise and so is unemployment and i've heard many turkish people say well it's nice that we'll get the biggest apple in the world but we would rather right now have jobs and enough

when. that team more often than not spy on a look at their recent head to head record shows by an with the advantage they've won three of the last for their classic cars aided in great part by former top one player robert even das who has scored fourteen goals against his former club by and are hoping the off chance can make the difference in this gained by sensuous there's a good reason for the saying that titles are won from the back only games are decided on crunchy that's the decisive factor. this is stuart months for us realistic shot at the title in may and yes emotions are high the stakes are high so just how special is this edition of the classic cut in the because of the situation in the table and because it's byron against dortmund will be shunned and it's obvious that it's special but there are seven games life is even. breaking by and
