a poisoned dagger into iraq chest. much needed rain blankets australia after months of catastrophic bushfires for parts of the country and i'm struggling to cope with the down fall and morning news forecast. blaming the teachers for educators in hong kong are increasingly being called to account for their students to be. i feel gail welcome to the program. wellin will host a major international conference on sunday bringing together libya's main warring parties and their powerful international backers prime minister fires al seraj who leads the country's un recognized government has already signed a cease fire deal and on thursday german foreign minister heiko mouse received assurances from rebel leader ali for hafta that he too would support

a truce before travelling to berlin general have to us stopping over in athens where sunday summit is causing tension. like so often general have to was received in athens like a top minister but many countries see him simply as a warlord but there are reasons why he say feted here greece is angry at us recognition of the libyan government which has signed america time agreement with turkey without taking greece's audience in the region into account greece is also irritated at not being invited to libya conference but is nevertheless offered to be a mediator. and. encourage commander have to participate constructively in the process and to try within the existing framework to achieve a cease fire and to restore security in libya is we have to made clear during a meeting with germany's foreign minister high came us that he's willing to abide

by a cease fire which is celebrating as a success. i think it's good news 1st of all that he is ready to continue to abide by a cease fire that has to be the start at the libya conference we must also ensure that the u.n. arms embargo isn't forced. in the libyan capital tripoli some a less ready to trust have to in moscow last week he refused to sign a cease fire deal. he didn't sign because he doesn't want peace he's bloodthirsty he wants war he wants people to die. still many here in tripoli are pinning their hopes on berlin's conference. at this meeting in berlin they will discuss many things but the most important one is the ceasefire this will be a good opportunity to discuss different options but we are all in favor of the seas fire and of course what comes after that and have to needs to go back to where you

started everything and in berlin it isn't only about bringing have to and his adverse the recent together it's also about 2 other men. and whom of this consider to be the decisive players in this conflict turkish president wretch up tight at the one who supports the rush and russia's vladimir putin who packs have to that effort to produce a signed a cease fire agreement in moscow last week didn't succeed now berlin is hoping to achieve a decisive breakthrough. more on sunday summit from political correspondent simon young welcome simon so let's start with a guess based on who's coming who won't be there was a very high level summit fill with the presidents of russia egypt turkey and france and u.s. secretary of state pompei as well as the leaders of the 2 warring factions as to who won't be coming. in particular is irritated it's doesn't seem to have

received an invitation it says that it's worried about a deal that turkey has signed with aaa covering natural gas exploitation in the mediterranean it would like to be at the table to discuss that also too near syria neighbor of libya which everyone knowledge is has been very affected by the conflict but the german government says that the invitations have been worked out in close consultation with the u.n. and they are they have decided who's coming and we saw in the report there is lots too there are lots of international backers on both sides so i want to talk about v. international community having a stance when it comes to libya. well i mean there are such a range of positions and diverse interests and you've in particular got the different international backers of the warring parties russia. and

egypt and the united arab emirates backing general have to or who controls much of the country and on the other side turkey in particular is really providing military support to the. government in tripoli which is the u.n. backed and internationally recognized government there also mineral natural natural mineral rights that are issue here as well got countries like italy which takes a lot of its oil from libya france would like to take some more i mentioned the turkish deal to try and exploit natural gas so that's a point to europe in general would like to see stability in libya because it's become a conduit for migration and it doesn't want to see this war dragging on on its southern flank so given that plethora of interests on different sides of this conflict that people are one of people hoping will actually come out of sunday's conference the key thing is to get the international parties to withdraw

troops and arms from libya and to make sure that the 2 warring factions stand by that cease fire that they say they're backing one question that arises from that who will police the cease fire e.u. foreign policy representative of burrell is quoted today in a spiegel saying that he thinks you the have a role in that including with troops will that could be very difficult it's hard to see which countries would send troops and of course this conference is really all about getting the military's out of libya political correspondent simon thank you. now canada has urged iran to allow our friends to analyze the flight and cockpit data recorders from the ukrainian the passenger plane that was shot down in iran this month iran's admitted to shooting the plane down accidentally a canadian prime minister justin trudeau said france is one of the few countries

with the ability to breed the plane's black boxes which he said were badly damaged $57.00 people on board the ukrainian international airlines flight were canadian citizens the issue with the black boxes is that they were significantly damaged and it is extremely important including no courting to protocol number 13 i believe that they be examined as rapidly as possible around does not have the level of technical expertise and mostly the equipment necessary to be able to analyze these damaged back black boxes quickly oh earlier on friday iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali from an elite described u.s. president donald trump support for the uniting people as a pretense leading friday press in tehran for the 1st time in years he praised the country's asterix against the u.s. in retaliation for the killing of general us on the monday as

a day of god. after weeks of national trauma thousands turned out to see iran's supreme leader in a rare show of strength the main cheered and chanting as ali how many railed against iran's enemies. american clowns who falsely and despicably say that we are standing with the iranian people and say they can see who the iranian people. a few hundreds of people who insulted the pitcher of our martyred and honorable general custom sell the money at the iranian people and then all rather are the branding and people the millions who showed themselves on the streets. his intervention comes after the country's top military commander was killed by u.s. forces earlier this month triggering a nationwide outpouring of grief and

a tragic stampede which saw scores killed. then came what iran said was an accidental dining of a passenger jet killing all 176 people on board. angry protests engulfed the capital. yet the ayatollah lamented the crash but said iran was being manipulated. some people follow the ana guided by american televisions an english radio try to portray this incident in such a way that the deaths of these 2 martyrs would be forgotten your mojo your your. i mean message paired loud and clear by president rouhani who sat among the washer person the ayatollahs presents underscores the crisis of the last time he delivered

strong we can still act and act don't underestimate our power we're still strong there so basically he had the message just for the inside and also for the outside . people who are watching iran closely it would seem strange that he's having to constantly call for unity. there is not much in the way of a of opposition that easy under pressure domestically is a lot he is under a lot of pressure basically not only the supreme leader the whole authority iranian authorities because of the protest because it's the 1st time the protesters and activists in iran inside iran they were asking for him to step down with and he had before in the last years so this is this is a big issue and also i want to go back again to the elections the parliamentary elections it's very important for the authority in order to give the image that it was a smooth it's going to be smooth and also were going to win again as a regime no one is protesting during the elections because otherwise we're going to give a wrong image for the outside and trump is going to use it lately so they would say

look you have people against you and it was like you know not successful so will this speech be enough then because the as you say there were protests about these fueling increases and then there were protests about the they perceived cover up about this this plane crash is this going to put the lid on all of that know the suppress would do that because most of the protesters based on that reports inside iran most of the protesters and also the activists that they ask me that a specially to step down in the jail and basically the government denied that but that's not the issue if you take a look at iranian history basically we when they have an enemy or they have convincing the society that they have and then he and let's be united against the enemy that's why he was calling trump as a clown that's why he was blaming the international community in order to put this pressure on iran and that's why he was saying we can still be strong if we are all one hand stop the protest and let's face what is happening you want money you want

like to live good you have a problem in the economy well if you would be new and united then we can face all these sanctions specially from the american and that's actually the strategy and it taught before and going to work now to me to hear me from don't lose a big service thank you so much welcome thank you. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world it's been revealed that at least 11 american troops were injured when iran attacked bases hosting u.s. troops in iraq on the 8th of january washington had previously claimed they had been no casualties or injuries in the attack which was in retaliation for the killing of iranian general hossam son of money china's birthplaces fall to its lowest level since 949 fueling fears with within the country of a democratic of a demographic crisis there were about $14600000.00 births in 2019 half a 1000000 fewer than the previous year the drop occurred despite the government
