mafia boss using you tube to dish out the dirt on turkish politics. so dot pickers, hello videos revealed the good, the bad and the ugly about turkey's ruling party church cannot get enough of this unlikely. social media star. ah, i'm bring golf to our viewers watching on p b. s in the united states. and to all of you around the world, welcome. we begin tonight here in berlin, where international leaders held talks today aimed at securing a lasting peace deal in libya. the country has been unstable since 2011, when the nato backed uprising toppled long time dictator bull market off. leaders discuss the withdrawal of foreign fighters today and those upcoming election

scheduled for december. it's hope that the vote will finally bring some stability and some unity to the country. he got off to a confusing start. the american top diplomat meets his german counterpart in berlin. despite your good welcome both men that they share the same vision for libya. we share the goal of a sovereign stable unified, secure libya, free from foreign interference. it's what the people who deserve it's critical to regional security as well. for just the table, the permanent members of the un security council, together with other regional powers. and for the 1st time representatives from libby as transitional government, progress of the military and political, the 1st one of the main goals, ensuring elections planned for december. go ahead. we are supporting the election because this is the, this is the, you know,

the way for democracy in libya and build english mid government. however, we understand there is a lot of security challenges in the ground. one of his challenges is the presence of thousands of from troops a mess in areas inside libya. that's the initial, we will not let us know and will not rest until the last foreign troops of last libya. that is why we have gathered here for a 2nd time, the libya conference off the loop, and that is what we will work towards. one, the, i'm not what i'm on. libya has been in crisis ever since the ouster new market duffy in 2011. following his full armed groups refused to disband, and regional rival, which grew elections failed to bring the country any closer. val governments was set up in the western and eastern parts of a country in tripoli, a government recognized by many western nations, one another regime established itself into brook. in october 2020,

the warring sides agreed to cease fire events form the transitional government. the elections this december will finally give the libyan people say, some affair. it may only be a small step on the long road for lasting peace. and for more now i'm joined by honest ellie demonte. he is in rome tonight. he's the founder of the sonic institute, which is independent. think tank based in tripoli. it's good to see you again. i want to ask you, even if these talks are successful. can we say that libya by the end of the year that libya is going to be ready for democracy? it's a really good question. there's a danger assuming the election on the democracy. here is the state. another process that we began in january, a complete process. it's partially complete, the political level, the unified,

we now haven't got the military level on the level of the grid. the military is literally unified, but it's not the possibility of having an action and having a potentially is not a difficult thing, isn't even the hardest thing in the one having a democratic election that allows for the new parliament respected by to distribute the stickly action. because it wants to be in some book that's going to be the major question. your military doesn't want to be subservient to the point, the government, the government that has a very, very dangerous thing for election. well, mister hop top, for example, would not be as strong as he is if he didn't have support from outside of libya. are we at a point now where we can get countries such as egypt, the u. e. the u. s. france. countries like these to stop interfering in the

domestic politics of libya. question, we will ask you this question last year and i think the danger and we haven't made much progress. and we'd like to say that we have got a parking signed in october 2020. that mandated the rule of the promotion we might today. the biggest challenge, since a lot of companies have been the 2 countries that have delivered those sweetly russia and the way he refused to acknowledge that they in fact, claim that they haven't learned goldman civil war and haven't had no. and the last several years to the point, we found that the un, unable to great detail about what they've done, if i'm willing to cool russia, mostly emerald semester, by the name of the international level, jelly. acknowledge that that was going to be very difficult to make them come good when it required sequencing and meet on the phones we got the prominence anymore.

we need tangible outcomes. and now there is a big election 24 hours. there are only promises and gentlemen's agreement are those that don't even acknowledge that they have on the ground, russia read thousands and thousands of on the needs of the country in the center of the country. they've been publicly techie knowledge that have i think the act, but it may want to keep in some of the officers and i think it was the complicated with, again, russian. and so it's going to be very, very good progress if we're able unwilling to pull them either a name on my team from these other institutes. as always, we appreciate your time and your insights will be following this story and seeing how these talks develop. thank you. well now here's a look at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. relatives have been waiting for information about what was following an explosion and ethiopia as conflict kit, she gray region witnesses. a dozens of people were killed or wounded on tuesday in

an air strike on a market in the town of to go got health workers say that soldiers blocked medical teams from traveling to the c. a cord in ivory coast has sent its former prime minister and ex rebel leader, gilliam sorrow to life imprisonment in absence yet. so i was in exile in europe and was charged with plotting to overthrow president allison, who atara. she with his close associates, received 20 year sentences. 9 catalogue separate. his leaders walk free from prison on wednesday, vowing to win independence from spain. their release came a day after the 7 men and 2 women were pardon for their role in staging a band referendum on succession from madrid. the spanish government said the measure was a necessary step towards national healing us senate republicans have blocked an election reform bill that democrats say is needed to counter increasingly

restrictive voting rules. in many parts of the country firm it is but republican say the bill infringes on states right. the 5050 party line vote fell short of the 60 needed to advance most legislation in the us. senate federal take over elections on tonight in munich, hungary, in germany are going head to head in their euro 2020 football match. but the talk of the town is not just about who will win. instead, there's plenty of politics on the pitch with anger over a new hungarian law that critics say equates l g, b t q. people with peta files. the legislation bands depicting or promoting homosexuality. the young people, munich officials, wanted to light up the cities football stadium tonight in rainbow colors to protest . but european soccer's governing body. you wafer said no munich is own rainbows. the townhome flag is flying high. a clear message after

europe and football, official band, rainbow lights on the stadium because the way from maintained it was to political cycle for freedom of some community should not be forbidden like that. i think everyone should be who they are and that's what the flag stands for. like a piano typically because we haven't heard the discussion about the stadium lighting, things like that. and we really wanted to show that it's important to be open to the world, often enough to give it to the european commission is also making unusually clear statements if things, little of hungary as controversial law. the hungarian bill is a shame. so i will use all the powers of the commission to ensure that the rights of all your citizens are guaranteed whoever you are and where ever you will live to refer on the line is supported by 13 you countries that express the concern

about the law, including germany, s my 1st of all, i think this is wrong and also not compatible with my idea of politics. if you allow same sex partnerships but restrict education about an elsewhere. and that also has to do with freedom of education and the like. so for me, that is something i reject politically for leadership abilene, but that doesn't help those affected and hungry because the commission can only take legal action once the law is in force. the procedure can then go all the way to the european court of justice, which takes time. bobbins, government insisted it did not want to hon. homosexuals at all and condemned from the lion's announcement as a disgrace. sent for the time being actually comes in the form of rainbow flags and munich and statements from a well known german football player, dressed in colorful clothes. bolton,

didn't tile him, some spots? i guess my goal should be that it's a completely normal thing in the world and the sport and that it's no longer a big issue. let me look on some done some semantic on. so i think small gestures and signals client step in the right direction. climate sizing the, the, the strong among the need to go. storms and even the german football association got on board and how to distribute thousands of rainbow flags outside munich stadium. well then soccer game is now underway. we want to talk to with our corresponded barbara visa about the political implications of all of this. good evening to you, barbara. well, there's a lot of talk about here. we've got a lot of condemnation right now coming from the european union, but no action yet apart from all the flags. do you see this thing escalating further? how it sudden you will escalate because there is no way backwards now? i mean, nobody can somehow just turn back and say, let's forget about this in mary,

because we heard her was unusually concrete and direct. and so was the commission president. so they now have to take it to the highest court in europe, the e c. j. and more on this force hungry to step back, unless victor arman sort of be retrieved by himself because tomorrow evening, during the summer. and he is going to have to walk the walk of shame this really long red carpet leading into the summit room. and your journalist, of course, will be yelling questions at him, and then this will be topic over dinner. and we can just imagine one of the european leaders saying, no, victor, you're really carrying it too far. what have you been thinking? something along those names. so victor, of an has been known to step back once things got too hot for him in the past. he may in this case or he may be stubborn and sort of forward forward. there is no telling it the woman's in reminders. barbara,

what is it about this new law in hungary that is so controversial. i mean there are plenty of aspects, but what is it that's most controversial mean this law has the label tacked onto it . the law for the protection of children and youth people up to young people up to 18 years. but it mentions in the same regulation in the same bill. punishments for peter, and protection against the depiction of l. g, v. c, q, people. that is no more gay couples or no less than capital, so whatever. and we don't know how this could really reach. imagine if tv theories running in the early evening, this is not just about scoop of imagine advertising. never again to happy smiling live on, on one of those. so this would really have a very strong impact. and it is clearly says that you discriminatory because according to you values new laws and rules, the discrimination according to ethnic

t. religion or sexual orientation is simply as strictly forbidden. that's right. and we know that this law seems to equate gays and lesbians with peta files. which we know is not true. so let's go back into victor or bon his future. what can brussels actually do to make him see the light? to make him see the light really nothing. basically, they've been having this the increasingly illegally lead death row with him for a year or 2. now, because the problem is they've been looking on as our been develop more and more into an awful tread for years and nobody interfered. and i'm going to america ahead ahead and that we must say. and so finally everybody. so i know this is not good. we can have this country in our midst in the middle of europe, somebody who's saying i'm and 5 democrats. so now they're really trying to sort of retrieve ground that they have lost and fight him in the courts bought many of

service. you say the only thing that will make the victim of a retreat and step back is going if his money is being turned off. if the 1000000000 streaming into hungry from european coffers every years will not come anymore, then he is going to hurt. and then his rule will get into difficulties. yeah. and he may not like it either. if hungary loose tonight against germany, we will see if that happens as well. barbara diesel's in brussels is always barbara . thank you. well, after 26 years, an operation, hong kong popular pro democracy newspaper, the apple daily has printed its last edition. staff said that the paper has been forced to close since being gene activate, sweeping, national security law, arresting journalists and pro democracy activists. the move could have chilling consequences for the future of free speech in hong kong. it's been a popular paper in hong kong,

mixing racy gosset with pro democracy politics and criticism of china. but recently apple davy had only been making it to the new stance under increasing pressure from new york thirty's. last year, police rated the papers newsroom and arrested jimmy lie on suspicion of colluding with foreign forces. further raids and sweeping new national security laws have now for the paper to close 5 of his other executives with attained last week. and police have also frozen the company's assets effectively choking its operations and sign. the papers closure immediately brought people out to the streets in support. while journalists warned that the chilling effect apple daily shut down would have on press. freedom will be very worried that there are consequences for writing an article. i'm afraid that it will make society feel or how i feel now that people can be put in prison because of what they write. it leads to

a huge worry for the cities. freedom of speech. young as the press is rolled for the last time, printing as many as 1000000 copies before the paper and it's web site shut down. those fears and likely to become a reality. these protesters though with keen to get the love copies, one has another part of that press freedom, fell silent, caliban, providers, and again, it's dan, are seizing an increasing amount of territory as the september 11th deadline for us troop withdrawal approaches. according to reports, the taliban have even made it to the border of the city of marcia sharif in the north of the country where the german soldiers are still station. they are due to be pulled out by the end of june. italy is warning that the troop withdrawal could prompt many afghans to flee to europe. the german port town of hamburg is already home to

a vibrant community of afghan migrants. they're worried about what the pull out will mean for afghanistan and for their relatives back home. many in m a z live here in the booster neighborhood of hamburg this district council is one of europe, largest communities of exiled afghans, nearly 40000 of whom live here. you can get lamb fruit and vegetables and ask em, baked goods. medina too, and her family fled from afghanistan when she was just a child. reason i was ready to use these computers such and delicious. she enjoys the traditions of a homeland, but also tells us that exiled afghans fear the return of the radical islamists, tenable not least because once we get news, especially when we left or you will have your mind is everyone still alive saw that's the biggest worry we have social unfortunately none of us has been effective,

but of course that's a matter of luck. that's something can always happen in the ask. and when they see ation those, these worries only too well for almost 30 years. the mostly volunteer group have been working on projects and kinda stuff and they concentrate on schools, clinics and water supply, chair, woman, nadia and she is critical of the rapid withdrawal of international troops. she says they have not fulfilled their mission and cannot be gone. miss stan dimensions and people are also disappointed with nature when a life because they goals have not been achieved toys, rule of women's liberation. i'm bringing security to the country, the land line. so, playing in nashville has people in the us time begging world, not to abandon that country. now, even if the german troops withdraw last line, please leave us alone. and the international community can,

can stand alone under any circumstances. and especially germany should help by being a diplomatic mediator. because our countries are linked by such a long friendship. in atlanta point, have afghans have lived in hamburg, ac is not the ports that he has always attracted traders. even from far away as a canister. and taliban terrorism keeps driving people out of the country. yeah, mostly looks after refugees and helps them after they arrive. the women here do not see good prospects for their homeland. they have a son, if there's always war enough canister, they need help on land on a country and under compatriots, have a dark future ahead of them. and still post office puts us into the district administration is under taliban control on people don't want to admit that the troops are leaving town for those surrounding areas are terrified that a nightmare may become reality. doesn't start home, love it and come that night. me would be the rule of the taliban,
