a vast year on record for mass shootings in the united states looks at one state's fight over new gun control laws. last during all the walk to the dot the reward a new study says vermin billions of dollars each day for free. to use in india for a look at what steps there really stops women from getting paid jobs there. was. how the welcome i'm on with that she might be a company. a push towards a full ceasefire in libya one leaders gathered in berlin over the weekend for a peace conference they agreed to stop interfering in libya and respect a u.n. weapons in boggo death and 9 years of war the leaders of libya's 2 main driver factions are still refusing to meet face to face. the mighty

gathered in berlin on a sunday afternoon world powers united in a mission of hope german chancellor angela merkel invited representatives of more than 10 countries to press for a solution to the long running conflict in libya and it was only a few hours before the end of breakthrough no more arms shipments to the war torn country. we can confirm that we have all agreed to respect the arms embargo and will also money toit more closely enough in the stack of continued this in the forgotten that if by this. however they haven't yet spelled out consequences for breaking the embargo. instead the conference pledged not to offer military support to the warring parties. russia and turkey in particular have long involved themselves in libya's civil war.

the rival leaders themselves refused to sit down at the bargaining table libyan premier. met with his ally turkish president wretch of type. while warlord khalifa haftar join talks with france as a manual among others much as its stake for the international players here libya has oil and gas and is a key transit point for refugees the conference insisted that a new political process is necessary to address the country's crisis. and today in but leading member states along with regional and international denies ations if sent a strong signal that we are fully committed to supporting the peaceful resolution of the libyan crisis. the real marker of the conference is success or failure won't come until it's clear if the promises made here are being kept and that could take

several weeks. joining me now for some analysis. from the european council on foreign relations welcome a lot of open questions what in the view was the biggest achievement of the conference on libya where you are right there are a lot of for an open question but i think the difference to a conference is that we've seen in the past is that we have some substance. we really have the parties that can took part in this conference commit to cease fire to an arms embargo which isn't place effectively since 2011 but they've also talking about concrete measures to control this embargo this is not a one day conference this was a process that was organized by the germans in september and i think we have substance now and definition of a new political process but we also have a lot of open questions ok so let's start and flesh out some of the issues that you've talked about and the 2 main rivals for the general half that is about as

prime minister. but they did not meet face to face what will it take for them to commit to a cease fire because the talk right now is of a truth but not for a cease fire i think it's important to remember that this is the berlin process that started in september and the idea of this process was not to bring together necessarily the libyan partners this is for the future this is for the political process it's the toughest task of the u.n. in this case the idea was to bring together the external actors because they say they are the ones that sent the mercenaries to send the weapons to general have there on the one side to set out on the other side you have a number of external actors here and this is where the german government was worried said the idea is to dry out this support and then create the conditions on the ground that will improve the situation so one of the key elements is that orc external actors as you call them have promised to uphold the embargo how optimistic

are you about that this is russia and to kill pretty deeply involved that yes i would be relatively positive when it comes to russia and turkey because they came to the berlin conference the president took part we've seen other high ranking delegates from from key states involved in libya taking part so i think the commitment is serious but you mentioned the parties on the ground and this is. the big question mark they were not ready to meet as i said it was not the idea of this conference but they are the germans invited set out and half that to berlin they were not ready to meet we saw a couple of kids asians and we also see violations against the cease fire the day before the conference and on the day of the conference itself so this is the biggest question mark how will that figure out on the ground but one positive outcome was that the representatives of these 2 major drivers would be meeting next week yes we have now a process that is defined we have the military side that will meet and talk about

the secure security sector we need to mobilise the demobilisation of the militias we need to stop of this military conflict and also there's a political dialogue forum where both parties agreed under the hostess of the un to meet and to discuss the key point which we alternate with him italy will need to come to a unity government and a new political process because a cease fire an embargo is not enough and finally is any a through this conference has germany and europe given it said more heavily leverage in dealing with the conflict in libya well i think it's a key point that germany and europe took on this important mission and in the past we have seen a negative role of the u. we know that france and italy for example on different sides they were involved in this conflict so now the e.u. actually says we want to open a new chapter this is important for us for our security for european security from migration and we want

a better future for libya and high representative joe said orde had promised that the u.s. is going to play a bigger role potentially even with observing forces on the ground so they took up a big commitment getting the kind of from the european council on foreign relations a pleasure to have you with us thank you. china is reporting a shop rise in the number of pneumonia cases caused by a new strain of crew non-biased officials confirm the outbreak and now reached the capital beijing it comes at a time when millions are travelling across the country ahead of the new year holiday some 200 people have been infected and 3 have died in the central city of one han where the virus was 1st identified cases have also been detected in thailand japan and south korea the south straight go to a to beijing and to 5 been a question mark fabiani there is a fear there could be a rapid spread of the virus by travis ahead of this weekend's new not new year's celebrations just how much travel will there be

a ranch on the coming days. i would call the. maybe the biggest challenge bites in china it's expected that more than 400000000 people will be on the move mostly by a train but also named bus and so on and for many for example migrant workers in beijing cities like shanghai it's. the only chance to reunite with the families but of course the by risk would spread rapidly at the city of. outbreak originated as one of the transport stops connecting the cities in the at the east coast with every us to quit and 100 people in beijing and beyond being address from this virus. just today authorities confirmed the 1st case of the corona virus here in beijing but as you can see i mean daily life goes on people i'm not in a panic but what i can see if i talk to people on the street but also

a scan social media post this a deep against a government use and people are really pouring i think accurately do authorities downplay the the city in this of the virus because many people are it's you reminded of the time in 2002 in 2003 when there was the sarson of condemning going on and just the 350 people alone in mainland china were dying of that virus and $300.00 more in hong kong and at that time people believed that the true government was transparent and didn't properly deal with the virus and famine so what measures are here authorities in china taking to contain the spread of this midas what we've seen is that at major airports so-called body temperature scan us where you can avoid passengers to check their health status and we know from use agency reports it's here in cities like beijing and shanghai and at the hospital staff not get come up with any specific account to measurements but we've seen some negative

accounts on this and institute this a lot of censoring but also a social media post by the government it's quite sensitive to sprint news about the virus and also you know that patients or relatives of the patients who protected by the virus they spent too much not to talk to the media and also not to spread the news about the virus online and that he did enhanced this. paranoia or skepticism and transparency to see that the people are not informed accurately. from being pressure in beijing thank you very much. let me now bring up it with some other stories making news around the world following voluntary can protest lebanon's president has met security officials for emergency consultations some 500 people were injured in clashes with police demonstrators are angry over the political leadership failure to form a new government. protesters have also returned to the streets of the iraqi capital

to show their opposition to the proposed limits on firearms which are likely to pass in the democrats controlled state legislature did the obvious problem fully alias finds out what's behind the strong resistance to tighter gun laws. this is sold rifle and other guns can currently be purchased by any adult resident of the state of virginia by just presenting a valid id but those days appear to be numbered no makers in the state which recently flipped from republican to democrat are pushing forward with a tightening of the gun laws but there has been fierce opposition. a very well known popular voice among pro-gun advocates this comic which he lives in one of the counties that have become so-called 2nd amendment sanctuaries areas where proposed laws would not be enforced by local authorities these make up the vast majority of crime to use in virginia. governor ralph northam wanted to add 8 new gun control

proposals these are really broad 'd proposals these would turn the vast majority of virginia gun owners into felons for continuing to possess their legally on firearms their legally owned magazines their legally owned suppressors it would criminalize transferring firearms to family members or friends without going through a background jag these are bills that would impact the legal gun owners in the state of virginia not the violent criminals but experts like law professor richard at the university of virginia say the new proposed laws are not as radical as pro-gun lobbyists claim lots of states had gun control legislation that looked like this what happened in the last 2025 years is when the republicans came in and gun guns became a big cultural issue is they stripped away a lot of these regulations that have existed in the past and so the the the current

gun regime in virginia is a very very permissive along all these dimensions and what the democrats are trying to do is tighten that up. virginia's proposed gun controls come after figures show 29000 was the worst year on record for mass shootings in the united states the overall number of people fight li shot also increased last year according to data from gun violence archive a nonprofit that tracks shootings u.s. president donald trump and pro-gun advocates claim the reason for shootings partly comes down to a mental health crisis and not because of current gun laws but studies have not supported these claims. for common words in virginia changes coming but he remains defiant i think a lot of gun owners are waiting to see what if anything the supreme court does that might set some limits on how far states and localities can go in terms of regulating the right to keep and bear arms we know that they can infringe on that

right but how far can they go and terms of regulating that right. protest by pro-gun activists virginia's capitol building in richmond on monday are not expected to deter lawmakers from pushing ahead with tighter firearms. a new study by the end oxfam says the world's billionaires have more west in the poorest 4600000000 people combined and it says women are the ones who are most disadvantaged oxfam's inequality report claims 22 of the world's richest men have more money in assets than all the women of africa each day women and girls across the world put in some $12.00 and a half 1000000000 hours of unpaid work now that's cooking cleaning and looking after children and the elderly the that unpaid work is worth almost 11 trillion dollars a year to the global economy. now we go to india and look at how some women there

are trying to break barriers and getting paid work. it doesn't pay much but this is how ect helps to support her $4.00 siblings and her mother like many 21 year olds she has big plans. victor has already finished a course in sewing technology and she's been attending training sessions with this youth and employability service to help her get a better paid job. was that i am determined to work i've had a very difficult life i've had problems with my family and other problems too but i've never accepted defeat i want to help my siblings build their careers if i get a good job my mother doesn't need to work as a maid and other people's homes anymore i know i will succeed. many more women

across india are pursuing further education but less than a quarter of those eligible to work have jobs or are even seeking employment concerns about safety and transport are some of the reasons why families as well as employers don't want women working men is easier for one thing bosses don't have to worry about them getting home before it's dark that's been a problem pinky kemarre has faced she travels nearly 2 hours from her village just to get to work and sometimes she has to leave early in order to get home while it's still light but she's already broken it to brew by becoming the 1st woman in her family to have an office job even if she had to fight to get it so i've struggled a lot i wasn't allowed to work i had problems with the family but i feel very good about my 1st job i'm learning a lot i'm enjoying it. many women like pinky also

struggle to work. or she's got a woman tries to work the family stops or they don't let her progress they think she'll go out she could do anything don't let her out she'll dishonor us they don't trust her. just want me. worry about their safety when they go places will be returned safely will someone harass them on the way be in danger we have to worry about all these things. so many barriers for women including ect but still they persevere. the soaring inequality is in focus this week also at the world economic forum in davos did under correspondent don spoke with. he's the c.e.o. of oxfam india she asked him about changes governments and companies can make right now. mr about heart your report highlights global inequality and the results are shocking especially when it comes to the amount of unpaid work done by women how

can the situation really change. i think it's fairly clear that the billionaire bill needs to and this is an economic system which is built on the exploitation of women and girls and also of the poor this system makes the rich people more richer and the poor continue to live in in poverty so this has to change dramatically and to do that i think the 1st ask is from the billionaires and the super rich they should not do any harm they should stop the big rigging the system in their own feet and i think it's very critical that governments start acting and the 1st one is comments must insure everybody pays a fair tax just imagine isn't it it's ironic that at this moment you see that corporations and billionaires pay lower taxes than ordinary people so taxes and taxes and more taxes 2nd the governments need to invest heavily in public services

public services like child care. of the elderly the sick this is what is going to have the particularly the carrie kahn to me and the 3rd is to ensure that everyone gets a living wage but it is it really fair to blame the world's richest for these problems after all we know the situation is very complex. just look at the bloomberg data which says last year. job drop $500000000000.00 has added one trillion dollars to their wealth and let me give you another data since the global meltdown in 2008 you have seen the billionaire wealth actually going up by 60 percent and from 2000 till now the bottom 50 percent of the global population continues to own just at around one percent so i think it's important to this obscene in the quality needs to end we need to end the boom and i think yes we need to call a spade

a spade. that was behind the c.e.o. of oxfam india talking to my colleague. in davos that we know bring you up to date with some most tori's making news around the world china says it will introduce a ban on plastic bags in major cities and single use straws in restaurants by the end of the year authorities are trying to control plastic pollution and aim to cut the amount of waste in landfills by 2025. at least 75 inmates have escaped from a jail in part of why now the border. police found a tunnel would believe many prisoners fled through the main gate with the help of prison officials there described the frigid serves as highly dangerous members of the drug and arms trafficking gang. canada is mobilizing part of its armed forces to deal with the huge blizzard in the country's east storms dumped up to $76.00 setting beaches of snow in newfoundland province the snow traps some in their homes
