forgotten that they're fighting this. however they haven't gets built up consequences for breaking the embargo instead the conference pledged not to offer military support to the warring parties much is at stake for the international players here libya has oil and gas and is a key transit point for refugees there are 2 parties facing each other on the one signed is internationally recognized government leader serrano who now only controls a few regions near the capital of tripoli on the other side is self-proclaimed general how he controls large areas of the country the u.n. no germany and other western countries as well as tricky stand behind surat. after hours allies are russia egypt and the united arab emirates the rival leaders themselves refused to sit down at the bargaining table libyan premier fire has also

raj met with his ally turkish president rich of thai appear to want while warlords . join talks with france's and manuel micro-loan among others the conference insisted that a new political process is necessary to address the country's crisis. and today in berlin member states along with regional and international denies ations if sent a strong signal that we are fully committed to supporting a peaceful resolution of the libyan crisis it's a real marker of the conference's success or failure won't come until it's clear of the promises made here are being kept and that could take several weeks. or a secure now to brussels where meetings of your foreign ministers have wrapped up or where they are trying to discuss how to support the tenuous truce in libya let's go and talk to our correspondent there who has been monitoring these talks for you

again orca how did the conclusions of the berlin conference inform the discussions of the e.u. foreign ministers in brussels. foreign ministers here in brussels later really welcomed the strawman initiative very much appreciate that political process has been started now and that there is a real chance that this process will improve the lives tickle you of the libyan civil populations who have been suffering under those 2 factions fighting if you listen closely to what the foreign minister said up on the rival but also on departure you could hear also some self interest here for instance of australia's foreign minister made clear that there is a clear link to refugees who are using libya as a portal to get to europe and so improving situations there is also a way to stop those refugees and then italian prime minister and foreign minister to deny or also made clear that terrorism is also a subject that motivates italy to look very carefully what can be done in libya all

right so many e.u. countries have a vested interest in libya being a stable and peaceful country so what has the e.u. planned on doing to assure that outcome. well foreign ministers remained rather tight lipped about what exactly they have been talking about but it was quite interesting to hear chief foreign policy foreign political chief joseph or el who in a press conference informed that actually the operation sophia which was a form a naval mission that was aimed at stopping people smuggler coming in from from libya bringing over refugees and then basically refocus that mission on stopping the army and on enforcing an arms embargo for which the european union has a u.n. mandate already and so he said this mission could be revived and basically all where on the same page today there is political support for this only it could not formally be decided because it was not an official point on the agenda but what

everyone was clear is that this is something that could be done in the short term whether there is a cease fire or not and particular what they will need for this operationally is not again ships because it used to be a naval mission but what they will need is more satellites in order to observe the desert which is the part of libya where most weapons to come in this reporting from brussels thank you what is there now are some of the other stories making news around the world. at least 10 people died and dozens more were injured when a spectator stand collapsed at a festival and ethiopia the wooden structure gave way during the orthodox christian celebration of a pit fanie in the city of gondar several 1000 in the o.p.'s interest were commemorating the baptism of jesus. at least 3 protesters were killed in the iraqi capital baghdad after security forces used tear gas and live ammunition on
