warning his country could end up underwater if action isn't taken on climate change . time and you could as mackinnon thanks so much for joining us. the world health organization says fighting near tripoli has killed one hundred twenty one people and wounded nearly six hundred now that since strongman khalifa haftar launched an offensive earlier this month to take the libyan capital today was supposed to be the date for a united nations backed conference aimed at bringing peace to libya instead the u.n. is warning that the lives of thousands of civilians are at risk among the many refugees who previously escaped conflict in their own countries. these families fled as have tours troops advanced on tripoli from the south they've sought shelter in

a school building with the capital in their sights have tars fighters are paying little heed to the safety of the civilians in their way. my children and i had to leave our hirees because i was afraid we'd get bombed yeah the. government fighters are trying to hold their positions but they are faced with tough tars heavily armed forces which can draw on tanks artillery and air support if they breach tripoli's defenses the fighting will soon spill over into the city the families huddled in the school would be in danger once again in the absence of help from the government they're relying on boy scouts volunteers for survival. support from the government or aid organisations whatever aid we distribute has come from neighbors. according to the un at least

eight thousand people have fled the fighting for those who remain food and medicine are in increasingly short supply. to talk more about this i'm joined by i'm not saying he's the director of the father institute the first policy think tank in libya and as lives in tripoli he's joining us today from london welcome and us can we start with the humanitarian situation in libya what effect is this having on the people there. destruction i mean. ten thousand people already displaced and that the number isn't much it's a roy it's coming to or. looking to past and present. that might spread this month this would be the third war for five years since the beginning of the civil war. i didn't occur as part of that and it really does create a very very desperate situation the on that fuel supplies are working to ensure local services like water electricity work destruct and that's going to that's

a cause you don't want that much but it's the humanitarian support a slow process that all the places that host displaced people also be targeted i'm going to this is for them to be targeted by actors and of course this is a psychology can we talk about general who is he backed by and where does he get his weapons from. well this is really this action has come for the last five years from the u.a.e. primarily and i think they've given him the confidence and the diplomatic immunity and political support so not only war launched this war he launched that the chief of the un that's on a terrorist and it's good it was very competent and the u.a.e. yes that equal to the minister to go in tripoli landed in. that massive supply of weapons and ammunition which not only gives him the fuel sustain the conflict further it's a question whether or not you know he are supporting the government or they've been saying that over five years that have been given this kind of the street assistance

now after has the result continued the result so it's really not a question of whether or not the u.n. can get a deal you know a deal on the ground in tripoli it's about whether or not they can sell actors from the outside like the u.a.e. like egypt like france even like russia as well for himself in the sustained i mean issues of legends that make this kind of liquids out there he's not spending any money he's not spending is a lot of it's already left the country and people as a separate property so it's it's really that the answer lies of additional that. can i ask you briefly this unrest in libya push more migrants towards here at. well certainly the infrastructure the houses the refugees the moment it's really have. many of the schools of logic and infrastructure in tripoli that would house refugees and has displaced people has been talking to the two schools is that. until it was completely kind of choice. or so i think that's where there's a big i mean there's also this system that provides for these this is the refugees

and migrants leave and it's this is the ministry of interior that this is the fence that has people that are working on this if you're the architecture that works on this they would not have been consumed by unnecessary war the way that what they would normally do which is too early for the refugees also working against isis so well i do not understand in the numbers we were lucky. given all of the security architecture and the structure as we consume our office on the story was that it's a very very dangerous zone and given that may and june it is logical migration season. and after al gore marty in london thanks so much. and you had a sit down the military council has promised a fresh start for the country following this week's can he vowed to quote operate to the old regime there tenet general abdel fattah says a civilian government will be formed after talks with the opposition with a maximum transition period of two years but demonstrators remain unimpressed
