[000:00:00;00] the who's the c w. news live cumberland, a summit divided you leaders are gathering and brussels for a meeting, overshadowed by a row over hungry new l. g b, t q. lot. from 16 you leaders have condemned, condemned by hungary prime minister to oregon, has defended the legislation and says they will not repeal. and also coming up hong kong, last for democracy, newspapers, silent people line up to buy

a copy of the final print position of apples daily. they will find out what this means for the cities opposition group plus a close shave for germany of the euro. 2020 football tournament. the team making it through for the last 16 and the end, but only after a 90 minute against hunger. ah, i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. european union leaders are coming together in brussels for a summit as tension flare over a hung gary and law that several you countries say targets l g b t q people. 16 european leaders have signed a joint letter condemning the law, which bands content deem to promote homosexuality or transsexuality to children. the european union itself has announced legal action against hungary calling the law

a violation of fundamental rights. other contentious items on the agenda include a proposal by germany and france to impose improve relations with russia by holding a summit with its president flattery. putin. now, hungary prime minister, victor, or bon, has been facing mounting pressure to repeal the controversial law seem to target the l g b t to community. despite this, you strongly defended it as he took questions from reporters before the summer began. i'm a freedom fighter in the communist regime, homosexuality was punished and i fought for their freedom in their rights. so i am defending the rights of the whole sexual guys, but the slope is not about that. it's about the right of the kids and the parents to accept yourself being a well, my move difficult thing. so except myself, how to say to my parents and to hear now that it is because maybe i watch something on tv when i was younger, is unacceptable. and to mix a pedal failure for no dressy homosexuality is,

is unacceptable. so we will have to discuss and to, to say, not again, we have to discuss in future. we have to discuss now. and to, to say that it's unacceptable. it's, it's, it's even so stuff that we have to, to say that we are going to court. it's about co values of european union to be able to be different in union. and for more on this spring and alexander for nomine dw brussels bureau chief, covering the summer for us, alexandra, going to be attend one. well yes indeed, that what we can expect a very emotional tens discussion. the leaders are expected to talk about this new law in hungaria over a dinner tonight. and it seems that the hungarian prime minister victor oberon is not ready to back down. instead, he's saying that law has been published, it's done, but we also, so a lot of angry and upsets you. leaders arriving here today in brussels saying that

this legislation is against the core values off the european union that you are p and union is not a supermarket when you can go in and pick up what you would like to have, which while you feel like so it's definitely a topic that it's likely to overshadow this meeting. a meeting where we have to mention, i mean, there really is a lot that's on the agenda. just let's just talk about that for a 2nd. germany and france are proposing an e some it will flatter, be put in this morning. in fact, angle american, her what looks like her final speech to parliament. she emphasized the need to resume talks with the russian president. let's have a listen and then get reaction to the list, the events of the last few months. and not only in germany, hasn't clearly shown that it's not enough for us to react to russia's numerous provocations in an uncoordinated way and said, we must create mechanism to be able to respond to publications together and in a unified way. only then will we learn, counselor rushes high with you. so when you and in my view we,

the european union must seek direct contact with russia and the russian president, ulta, no, it's not enough for us president joe biden to speak with the russian president. lucy, i welcome that, but the european union must also create formats for dialogue, otherwise conflicts will never be resolved. how is this likely to go down with other member states while not very well, we have to say upon his arrival here, the french president, mental mccall defended this proposal. that was put forward only yesterday. so it's sort of sort of blind signed many leaders and many of them in particular in eastern europe are very angry about that. seeing that it actually doesn't make any sense to have an summit with blood and put in because nothing has changed so far. but let's have a listen to what the estonian prime minister had to say about this french german proposal. it's not supposed to just surprise because last 2 summits, we have had

a very kind of discussion about russia and, and the papers also reflect that. so what has changed really and what is the purpose of this? but i'm really key to listen to what they say about this and how, why it is on the table now. so let's, let's see she had this is saying that she is ready to listen while our leaders, the president's awfully to one year last year, for example, are saying this proposal is a non starter because before meeting, let me put in, they want to see concessions from the kremlin. meantime, alexandra, we just have to mention, i mean this is the historic summit. in fact, it's angle americans last in her 16 years in power. how is she going to bid farewell? as chancellor?

well i think that she would like to keep it low key. that's because she's known for her no nonsense fragmatic attitude because that is what we saw at the g 7 summit's in cornwall. it was her last g 7 summit. we ask of all that and she tried to to play down and signal that she would love or rabo like to, to focus on the pressing issues on the agenda. so that is something i, i think we can also expect here in brussels. a lot of action plan today. as this you leader summit gets underway as the leaders arrive alexander, phenomena, brussels bear chief. following all the latest developments. thank you. here's a look at some other stores making headlines. hundreds of unmarked graves have been found in the canadian town of mary about the gotcha was there a former catholic boarding school? it is the latest that a string of shocking discoveries that disuse the schools for indigenous children across the country. they have revived calls on the catholic church to apologize for

the history of abuse of 1st nations children in canada. hundreds of indigenous people are protesting a controversial land reform bill outside of brazil congress. the proposed legislation would only protect the lands. indigenous groups can prove that they have been living on since before 1988. in many cases, such evidence does not exist. critic see the reform as an attempt to free up land for industries such as mining emergency services have rushed to a site of the partial collapse of a 12 story apartment building near miami in the us state of florida. there are no confirmed reports of death or injury so far. the reason for the collapse is unknown . the un is warning that tens of thousands of people in madagascar are on the brink of starvation. the world food program says acute malnutrition has almost doubled over the last 4 months as a south of the island, physicists,

worst drought in 40 years. we had to, if e o p a now we're health workers have at least 15 people were killed in the northern te grove region. witnesses say an air strike targeted a busy market in the town of to go down where there are reports that medical teams were prevented from traveling to the scene. the bombing comes amid some of the fierce this fighting since november. when the government launched an offensive on rebel forces in the region, the wounded were still arriving in the regional capital makella for treatment. a day after being caught up in the market to talk about 25 kilometers away. witnesses say that the soldiers stopped ambulances reaching the scene, denying many victims, quick medical assistance. it's an accusation, d t o p and military denies. and lot of people were injured,

but they didn't get medical service because of the local. i mean, if any option in the country, this patient has been sustained an injury to them and just signed to us by says she was selling vegetables after st tool, when a bomb landed seriously wounding her 2 year old daughter. the toddler was one of the 1st victims to arrive in mccann, a where she underwent surgery for her injuries. the un says a t p, disturbed by reports the army held upon bill and says, which could be a serious violation of international law. it says this has requested access to the area to assess the situation. once again, we want to see and to hostilities in the region, we want to see greater access to for humanitarian workers.

and frankly, from what we've seen here, things are not going in the right direction, say the least rebels integral. i launched a new offense of last week as the t o p are prepared to hold national regional elections. there was no voting in the war torn region where the p o, p and military has been battling rebel forces since november. humanitarian agencies worn that to grice is now on the brink of famine. the civilian suffering has damage the image of ethiopian point minister abi asked med who won the nobel peace prize in 2019 he's expected to be returned to power despite growing international concern about the situation in the in hong kong, the biggest and the most outspoken pro democracy newspaper, apple delhi, has shut down, its owners say that they were forced to stop publishing after authorities used

powerful, new national security laws to seize the papers, assets, and arrest several of its editors. not a normal way to end the work day. but these journalists wave to a crowd of people who chant keep fighting. i think they've just sent the last edition of the popular apple daily to print off to the media outlet was forced to close down what followed was long lines of people eager to snap up a copy of the last edition inside. it says the paper has been a victim of tyranny. co coming out so that i know that today will be the last day of baffled daily. i know why i feel very sad because i know they will never be such a paper. but there is to say the truth and death too,

in depth investigative reports. hold on home law. very shocking law. nothing to you. within 2 weeks, the authorities could use the national security law to dismantle a media company. i'm worried i your, i believe the worst is yet to come through. mason by apple daily is known for its racy celebrity gossip. but in more recent years, it stood out in hong kong media as an ally of the pro democracy movement. it's china. critical coverage attracted the attention of the authorities and when new national security laws were recently passed, the new powers we used to obstruct the papers, operations. assets were frozen. offices were rated and executive arrested, including the papers founder jimmy law who has been in jail since last december.

china accuses the paper of colluding with foreign powers. jungle on kong is a society ruled by law, not a paradise where law does not exist and freedom of the press is not a cod of impunity. and there is no extra legal right to people who are anti china and quote, disruption in hong kong. but the papers closure is seen as the silencing of one of the last pro democracy voices in hong kong. at china continued to tighten its grip on the city called all the world has a drug problem. that is the conclusion of a new report from the united nations. according to its annual report, world drug report, the number of people using drugs globally has increased by 20 percent in just the past decade. the trend is expected to continue, especially in africa, where the number of people taking drugs there is projected to rise by 40 percent in

the next 10 years. the corona virus pandemic has resulted in more drug use around the world loc downs and travel restrictions also for stealers to get more creative, finding new ways to sell drugs and deliver their drugs to users. no cannabis or marijuana remains the most widely used drug. and it's stronger than ever before. the u. s. has more and more young people are unaware of the potential health risks . afghanistan is home to the global heroine trade for the down and out in the capital cobble drug seemed like an easy escape from their difficulties. and in our next report, we need a woman determined to help users break the cycle of addiction bearings and because on atlanta, high diary is on her way to mother camp. it is one of the few privately run addiction facilities and caboodle. her diary founded another camp on her way. she passes by poly, sucked her bridge, where many drug addicts live me

a lima that i'm up with. but other more told when i saw the bridge for the 1st time, it was like looking straight into hell. i thought this is what hell looks like. i remember the people were lying on the ground like animals were dying and they could have had promising life become dr. maybe that was how much it was another shock and stuff i had to re she hadn't seen her brother for a long time and found out that he was living under the bridge. high diary decided to take action. she wanted to help her brother and be many other addicts, and caboodle almost every one in the city of 4 and a half 1000000. know someone whose life has been destroyed by drugs rehabilitation center is located in western could boot is dead. her son was once an addict himself for 30 years he suffered from harrison dependency. but with high diaries help,

he managed to kick the habit. now he manages the center in her absence. meet is not an addict. he has been here ever since high diary found him as a young child in a garbage can on the side of the street, most likely abandoned by his family. when he was doing patients stay here for about 4 weeks. there is a lack of costly medicines to eat. there was crawl symptoms, so patients usually have to make do with cold showers. they also have a lot of talks and music sessions. the high diary also has in mind to 10 after the rehab. she also runs the restaurant, taj, big room. all employees are recovered addicts, the work helps them lead drug free lives and brings new perspectives. mohammed hussain is one of those who manage to turn his life around this stuff. this is a special place for an honest on it,

and so we can feel pretty safe here. i'm very happy to work in this place because here in the restaurant is just different, almost like a family that was listed on the, on the on, on some take of 10 to the venue. the restaurant received threats from extremists also because it is run by a women. her diary has managed to build what she said out to build, but the situation and if ganeth chant is unstable, it was scrawl of international troops is under way and she'll be complete within the next few weeks with her. but when her phone be up and i got her, i'm pretty pessimistic about his grandson, future mom, the total and really co, cheeky as my the only one who can that wants the future help of the taliban? that are, that are radical muslims, that here and double. no,

not the women was and the mommy lane and the future is uncertain, but at least for now layla hi diary knows what she is going to do. so part those with a drug addiction and couple for as long as possible. and we're staying in afghanistan to focus next on the countries long history of local militia, switching sides and allegiances, depending on the type of politics among those battling. the taliban in helmand province are these and gory militia men. they count former insurgents among the ranks. some say that they have been trained by afghanistan, spy agency or by foreign forces. with certain is that for now, their resistance is slowing or stopping the taliban advance on the strategic city. the gunfire at the gates of life, the capital of home and province. as these defenders of the city far,

i'm telegram position. when the this is the front line and the fighting is going on every day. situation isn't good. right now we have firing all around us. just days ago i was injured in the battle. we're fighting the taliban. he reddick stream, the close quarters that come i know about that, and these other san gordon's a fierce fighting force and hated by the insurgents. the militia were established in 2015, taking its name from a turkey soap opera about undercover agents. many he were recruited from the taliban emission to infiltrate and disrupt the insurgency. but for some sand gordons, the fight is personal. as well as my youngest son, my brother, and 3 of my cousins during the fall to tammy. and i'm not,

but i'm was looking at them instead of going to shoot down or you know, yes. the taliban retaking more and more of f canister, the head of the u. s. withdrawal. the st. gordon's face an enemy that's better equipped and growing bolder by the day. look the the so i just didn't. i don't want the good. we have the television used modern weapons like sniper rifles, good night, vision, benign. and they come in very close to target. but i was injured, but i survived. we can't even stand up in our out post that been shot had to get something. but i would say that there's got to go any further media fighting force numbering between $500.00. a 1000 militia is holding the line for now. what about mike? i don't know if we send gordon's word here. let's go. guy would for defending both

entrances to the city. from my number's new. local officials acknowledge the vital role of the san gore ends in keeping the taliban at bay more pit them. i'm see, we do got to look at them and see what was done to me. the other, you know, what i'm saying. gore is having a big impact on the security of health problems. whereas can government and the ministry of defense and the national security director to recruit moral sizes for the same dorians. to defend hellman proven, well we developed but that helped my never arrive with government forces on the back foot and soon to lose american support the same gordon's no, they're fighting with nothing to lose. and we'd like to bring you some soccer into his now and in the year 2020, where germany's through to the last 16 but just barely after surviving what was billed as the group of death. the roller coaster game had fans very much on the

edge with their feet, with germany on the verge of elimination. but leon gretz barked wild celebrations in the waning minutes of the match when he scored to secure a 2 to draw just good enough to advance to the knockout round against england. the historic rivals will face off in london on tuesday. and the other game between title holders, portugal and world champions, france there was similar drama and the same result. 22, at the end, the hero, there was christiana rinaldo, who scored twice to spare portugal the fate of going home early. fernando has now equal demands international scoring record with 109 goals. he also extended his overall euro's record to 14 goals. it all means that france finish top of the group . they are followed by germany and 2nd, and portugal. and 3rd, all 3 teams advanced to the last 16 of the tournament, while hungry or heading home. so germany, how scraped through, but it was

a knuckle biting, 90 minutes for fans, expecting more from their team. you could be forgiven for thinking the german team hadn't made it through to the round of 16 the fans leaving the stadium. bailey showed joy, let alone euphoria. you don't need that every day. so that's enough for today. please be more convincing. next week at wembley. and germany really tormented themselves. i have to say the result. yeah. it's okay. yeah. the latest thing i've ever seen. i'm completely disappointed in a catastrophically bad german team. the sporting performance forgettable. but the message of l g d t. so with arity that was sent around the world from the munich game will certainly be remembered. and now after 2 days without matches, the last 16 of the tournament starts on saturday with wailed against denmark and italy against austria on sunday, the netherlands will play the czech republic,

followed by the high profile match belgium against portugal. monday we'll see, croatia, place spain and france take on switzerland tuesday finally has probably the thriller of this round and that is england against germany and sweden play the ukraine. so after getting through the grip of death, germany will now focus on tuesdays match with england. chris harrington from d. w. sports give us his thoughts on what is being billed as the pick of the last 16 ties match up on paper. when you look at the recent matches between germany and england, they have a few friendlies. those really don't count the last major tournaments they played. it was over a decade ago. and the player that was, you call the japanese national team, thomas mueller, over a decade ago, score to brace in the 2010 world cup. and i expect him along with joshua came in and others to bring that electricity. they got out of the most difficult part. you know, when you, when you get out of the group of death, tough in your skin, it makes you thick. you know,

so we have to see what english can bring to the pace they will have the home fan support. of course, a lot, i'm sure on their side. but the tale of the tape i give jeremy, the slight advantage the go production really hasn't been there for england in hopefully germany get it done and do their best to give your love a good farewell. that was my colleague, chris harring, finish a while ago. a quick reminder of the top stories were following for you. your opinion leaders are holding a stomach that look that to be overshadowed by a route over hungary, new law that bans sharing l g b t q. information with children, you leaders are also considering a proposal to open direct talks with the families. hong kong, last remaining pro democracy newspaper has printed this final edition. the apple bailey's owners say that it was forced to stop publishing after authorities seized its assets and arrested senior editors. the

coming up next sunday, the conflict zone is coming up with my colleague, kim sebastian, who was interviewing libya's ambassador to the united nations. that's after a short break to stay with us if you can. i was there, kelly and berlin. thanks for watching. ah, the news? the news? news. the news, the news,

the news. the news. the news, the news, the into the conflict zones with sebastian libya has a new government of national unity which promises free election by the end of this year. but the road blocks in faces are immense alms militia groups, so whole power throughout the country. i guess this weekend, tommy's bio, massive interview and in geneva, how will this new government succeed conflict on

the w o. o. many pushes out in the world right now. climate change off the story. this is much less the way one week how much less can really get we still have time to go. i'm doing subscribe for moving. it's like literature invites us to see people. in particular . i like to find the grown up world. my only objective is to share with the beautiful d w

books on youtube. the secrets why behind being the discover new adventures and 360 degree and explore the fascinating world heritage sites. the b, w world heritage 3, get the. now there is more freedom of speech today and libya that ever was in the history of libya. it's in human treatment. it's barbarity with the buyer. we have to give it a chance. libya has a new government of national unity which promises free elections by the end of this year. for the roadblocks, it faces our arms militia groups still hold power throughout the country. they still kill and kids map with impunity. i guess this week is tommy vile libby as ambassadors of the un in geneva from where he joins me. how will this new

government succeed, where all the others have failed? the news coming by, welcome to conflict zone. thank you. thank you for your 3 days off the new government of national unity was sworn in. there was a shocking reminder of how little unity there is in your country. up to 15 bodies were found handcuffed and done to the cement factory in the eastern city of bang ghazi, while life remain so cheap and murder is enjoy almost total impunity in your country, there's nothing much to celebrate with this. new government is there. well, that's not necessarily accurate because we don't, 1st of all, we don't know when this crime took place. secondly, as you know, during transition periods, things tend to be take a little bit of time to, to,

to come to or stable environment where you're not suggesting to me that there are daily killings and discoveries of mass graves. if these killings go on, this government will fail, like all the others want it, that's the point. absolutely. and therefore, it's extremely important for the international community, the united nations and all the mechanisms of the international organizations to come together and help the current government in every way possible. matter of fact here, geneva, if you checked into this, you would know that we have passed a resolution that the 43rd session of human rights council. calling for a mechanism of accountability, calling for the ability to hold and this impunity, of crimes committed to human rights violations committed. and so we are seeking the help of the international community, the united nations, with all the various organizations to step in and help us be able to put into the g at a stop when you have

a show much interest in doing that in the past with previous governments have you. this was just the latest of many mass killings which i was talking about by the dozens of militia groups that fight daily for control of your country. and unless your government never mind the international community, but unless your government comes to grips with these groups, the new government is going to be just as part of all the others, isn't it? well, again, we have to give the government a chance and let's keep in mind that the government has not even been in office for 30 days just yet. and there's a lot of work ahead. so there's a tall order task, but it should be taken care of, including security and stability. but also keeping in mind that the role of the international community is extremely important. partnership that has part time with the international community through the united nations is extremely important for the secure instability in libya and the success of any government. so it's important for the international community to do as part,

let's not forget that we just came out of approximate. yes, i mean you can turn it over to the international community as much as you like, but it's got to be done on the ground. and this is a government and it's a week government and it's going to be very difficult for it to gain control of those are groups that have been allowed to capture so much of your state over previous years happening. and it doesn't look from what i'm doing. i mean, the baby has said you're into a prime minister that he has very much of a strong commitment to either justice or, or accountability. does it? well, you seem to be judging the government before it even has a chance to be able to do it by what it said or what it hasn't said so far. less less judged by what has taken place a few weeks. but it has been in our house. let's look at the efforts that have already been done to re 5 institutions. let's look at the efforts that have been

done and to civilizing the security situation, the country through the joint military commission, which let's keep in mind again, they ended a war and libya last, you know, just a few months ago, we would not be talking to try it says he's fine, it's a shaky see spot. so it's a bit premature to talk about the end of the war, isn't it? it's not a, a solid cease fire. i agree, but it is nonetheless cease fire, stop hostilities. and there is a chance for peace today. so let's embark on supporting this transfer piece. we've seen that there are, there are 2 major advantages in the debate government for the militia groups. firstly, he's weak. and secondly, for the time being, he has the key to the faith. so it's in their interest to do business with him, but for how long they want to chance to get bands on money. and i see that he's

already promised local government. a flurry of construction project in various regions as long as he continues buying off these groups, they'll go along with him. if he starts getting tough with them, they'll get rid of him when they well, again, you know, you can, you could pose these questions. so the prime minister in know what his plans are, but let's keep in mind that when we have a proxy war, countries that were involved supported some of these are groups in libya which caused much of the of the destruction and disarray that we have been in number 2, keeping in mind that we have been calling for our program as this our program, keeping in mind b, what d d basically basically taking these young men out of these are group malicious environments and in turning them into a more constructive and positive elements of society, this is going to take

a long time, isn't it? this is my short term. we're short term measure. this is only a government that runs for 8 months. that's, that's not forget, that's an interim government, isn't it? absolutely. so let's not hold the government so accountable for resolving everything with a magic wand. so we have to we can hold it accountable for certain things. and in particular, for the very corruption it should be promising to fight. because even before the, there were documented attempts by the baby supporters to bribe delegates to support him. that's pretty outrageous behavior isn't it? well, those, those are allegations and that's what made by the un made by the un. so they're not based on nothing of it. well the u. n is the same, is the same entity that supported the dialogue and supported the coming up the government into law. so they did the support the, the baby supporters who were trying to bribe delegates to vote for him. did they

know in support that, that well again, these are allegations and has not been proven the really sorts and nothing has been stated by the un to that effect. but are you an inquiry? said the pm supporters of bribes, those i as $200000.00 to induce people to vote for him un report was quite specific . he said at least 3 such bribes were offered, although all of them are apparently turned down. well, again, let's ask the wind about that and why they support it. comes with the dialogue and, and having the paper government come into into office. let's keep in mind again, it's a new government. it's a very well representative of the entire libya. it managed to bring the entire country together. this is the 1st time that we have one government, one legitimate, recognized internationally and nationally. and given the trust by the h o r, which has not been able to do so for previous governments. now how to representatives that is correct as representatives. so we,

we are seeing some positive steps in the right direction. the fisher is not rosie. we have a lot of work. we have a lot of things that we need to address. it is not something that's going to happen overnight and we need to build on the positive blocks that we have measured and been able to accomplish so far. you say that one of the worst aspects of these bribery allegations is that the papers interim office described the claims as fake news when they clearly went fake a toll. and that doesn't say much for the level of honesty or transparency that he says he's going to adhere to. does it is his response to these allegations suggest that his government is going to be as dishonest as all the others have been? doesn't it? well, i'll be happy to connect you with his spokesman and he can address these concerns. mister the baby is reputation is pretty check. it isn't that he prospered mightily

during the dictatorship of mamma gadhafi. he ended up running the living investment and development, holding company, which itself was room to have been involved in corruption and money laundering. why should people trust him now, especially at this critical time? let's, let's, let's talk about libya here because you're focusing on on allegations. again, one particular individual who can address these allegations and sell occasions of the company, the company in particular, that he could hear that city as the libyan represented, the united nations geneva. let's talk about what positive things that we've been able to do. let's talk about the resolution that was passed in the rights council for accountability or human rights violations and the mass grades that is in libya . let's talk about the resolution that has been passed for repair termination of elicit funds that are rights rights we owned by the state of libya. let's talk

about the initiative that was supported piece initiative that was supported here in geneva, which led to the signing of the of the piece agreements and the ceasefire. and looking at a lot of positive things that we need to focus on. and we need to build on these, this is a direction that we need to go. want to get a chance to have a chance to teach. let's not forget things in prosperity. and this should be the benchmark. why libya for is young of a country that is, this is come out of the nation has been and military dictatorship rule for over for decades. then it had a revolutionary physician periods where meddling in foreign countries and to the parents, live capture and state captured by the armed militia groups that were against close to power and still in power. you talk about passing resolutions, passing resolution doesn't change. the fact that you have indicted war criminals

promoted to powerful positions in your country and you and they're still there. and there are plenty of examples of the month that i'm too gone the quickly also known as guinea. we're now head of a new entity called the stability support authority. he reports directly to the presidency. human rights groups have documented war crimes and serious rights violations by his forces for more than 10 years. the europe, the un reported that his troops had previously opened far on civilians. none of that prevented his appointment. and is appointment is still in place. how is your country? can you tell me this? how is your country to move forward when these people who are suspected of serious war crimes are in these enormous positions of responsibility? well, i suspect, you know, i'm not here to be a court to judge on these individuals. i'm here should be able to unify the

international communities position of the libya situation. and we need to address many issues, some of which are the ones that you mentioned, but we also have to address and that's on the international. so the interventions and the interference of other countries. it's in the affairs and internal affairs of libya. if we work on that as far as i'm concerned for my position here, geneva, that is a major. yes, we need to work on a lot of runs, but this is what we need to focus on. we need to work on to unify the international physicians on the we've talked a little bit about accountability and justice, amnesty international described in a report to month ago, the justice system in libya as dysfunctional and ineffective judges and prosecutors, it said risk assassination. and the duction for doing that jobs isn't a fact then, but virtually every check and balance every restraint on illegal power and criminal

activity has now been removed in libya. hasn't that? how do you put all that back together again? well it's, it's a process. it's a complicated process and it requires a lot of work and we recognize that we do know that we have problems. we do know that we have major issues that we need to deal with. but we need the help of the international people do that. and how do we do that? we do that by stopping the intervention and the meddling into the general affairs. we stop the, the impunity violations and the security council resolutions and the violations of arms embargo by many states. we support some of these factions talking about we do that by helping control the orders of, of libya and lydia has been calling for for a long time. the supporter of common share orders with our neighbors as well as the, our partners, the european partners and to come in to help them to do that through the you bad in

agreements when we activate all those things we can, it's a domino effect to multiply this mr by this government is only designed to last until december, the 24th. that's the date when libyans are supposed to freely elect the next administration, that's on the 8 months way. what chance does this week government have of organizing those free elections with the massive human rights abuses that are taking place in your country day after day? well that, that is correct. that they recognize that they recognize what their agenda is. but it's, it's a process, it's a building process. building blocks process. we have to start somewhere. we can realistic process. so it isn't, you know, you have the us special envoy for libya, young cooper's telling the security council last month that his office continues to document and her catalog brutality in your country killings enforce disappearances, sexual violence including right attacks against activists and human rights

defenders. and hate crimes. these a national responsibility, international communities are responsible for that. the meddling that you've talked about isn't responsible for that. that's coming from people. your own people inside your own country, isn't it? you think that sets the right conditions for a free and fair election in libya in just on a month? well, again, it's a building process. we have 2 major steps going forward in the right direction, positive direction. all these issues must be addressed. international community does have a role in this as a matter of fact, as i stated earlier, the international community and some of the countries that have metal into the internal affairs of libya or the primary costs are some of these things that you're talking about. we need to be able to make a stop to that, make sure that we get a chance to address that concerns. it's problems we do know that we have is this going to take how long, how long you want to chance for when you had

a government of national court before that didn't do it. it was a government of appeasement. you know, it's prioritized paying off the groups and appeasing the groups over justice. is this government going to make the same mistake? the last one did, let's, let's be there and let's be looking fence right? that what you just said could be said about countries will be paying off our group . so libya, what be causing much of these problems that you're talking about? we need to be able to address the issues as they are. so let's, let's, let's control the situation where lawyers can handle the process the journal, and then we can judge and hold accountable the government and what it can do and cannot do. well, i want to match the situation in the country to the prime ministers rhetoric, if that's indeed possible. the new premise is on record, for instance,

is like he wants to spread a culture of freedom of opinion and expression. how exactly will he do that when journalists have to work in constant fear in your country? the right group report is without borders says, for instance, that the total of abuses against john this the media outlets. biology, groups associated with successive libyan government has grown steadily. we're talking mother with abduction, we're talking torture here. you keep focusing on the crimes and we recognize those crimes. and we do understand that there were there to quite the ones that made pretty important ones on the course there. that's why i think is going through a transition. that's why we need to get out of this. ready violence violence phase and be able to get into the restoration of a country institutions, the able to set into a civilian democratic state and be able to give that human rights to the living people keeping in mind, again,

that is the benchmark that we stablish early on in the conversation, this is a new culture that we have to go into that we are not so well experienced about we do need the help to be able to accomplish that. and the will, is there, the, the goals and the object has happened, sets every 17th, 2011, and wanting to set up a democratic state that is based on freedoms. that's based on justice. that's based on the ability to prosper and do well. and the current, the great woods, but how do you get that? how do you get there? and you have these enormous roadblocks in your past and you get there, you're not without a free press, you don't have a basis for democracy. you don't have a free press, there's no law in libya guaranteeing the public's right of access to information. is that what one of the chances they'll ever be one in libya will you don't want him?

there are more tv stations in libya today than ever were before. you know what the people are talking about wanting to set up freedom of speech in libya. not only that, there is more freedom of speech today in libya that ever was in the history of libya . we do reporters without borders, says libya has reached its lowest ever position in the groups. well, press index once 164 out of 180 countries that's worse than during the good duffy era. that's a huge step backwards, isn't it? well, again, i don't know what information they're basing their, their reports on, but we do, do we do need to recognize that there is more of a chance to be able to set up a civil state set up on democratic values on freedoms, on justice today than we ever had a possibility to be able to do so in the past history of libya. and we need to be able to capitalize them that we need to be able to support that. we need to be able

to work on that. and we recognize that the order is tall, but there is the will and there's a commitment to want to go down the staff, and we need to get the commitments by all libyans and others. the international community included to support that. even before libyans get to the december elections, this government is committed to holding a referendum on a new constitution. again, how you doing form the public without a free press is, is up to you. but what if you miss the deadline? what if you missed the deadline? so this new constitution and the new elections, it's pretty tight, isn't it? sounds good. unravel. if you don't get there, it is very tight and you know, the possibility of missing the deadline as possible. it's a matter of fact. she did, nation has, has missed many deadlines in the past in the process of coming to this point. so we do need to work. the commitment again is there, the will,

is there and the efforts are underway. keeping in mind the, the process has already been established with some other deadlines. there is a july 1st deadline to agreement on a constitutional basis to passing a legislation to ensure the elections law and that the preparations for the highly thorough commission to do its work to allow for the 24th of december elections. but there is also another very important deadline. there is a deadline that we have already passed. the international community has passed. the united nation has passed the exit of all foreign fighters and mercenaries out of libya. that has yet to happen. that isn't strictly important because stability and security again to your point is extremely important to be able to do these electrons in a stable and secure environment with the bi away had a lot of ground rhetoric from the prime minister about libyans being one unit,

one hot that hot hasn't been much in evidence these last few years, has it look at the shocking way migrants have been treated in your country in the last 2 months. hundreds of them have been intercepted, trying to freely been small boats and had for europe. do you know why they're so desperate to leave libya and you know, what happens to them when they're brought back to libya, these migrants, many of them do you know that? yes, i do as a matter fact and but let me correct you what you're saying is not accurate. number one, these migrants when they left their towns in their villages, from the various countries in africa, they set their mind and going to the northern shores of the mediterranean. they were not coming to libya, libby, as a transient country, everybody knows that the same reports that you refer to you and reports. everybody knows that. but also, and yet in libya, they continue to be systematically subject to arbitrary detention and torture in

both official and unofficial places of detention. you proud of that? no, not proud. we do have problems and the government has recognized and continues to recognize the violations of the problems that we have with my religion. government has been associated with these violations has been directly associated with these violations at 10. let me, let me just finish this point. it's extremely important what you're referring to constitutes a crimes or alleged crimes on a population of about 4000 migrants in detention centers or all gathering and do for and departure facilities in human human treatment. it's betsy risk. it's in human treatment. we're talking about sexual violence, abduction for ransom. extortion, forced labor, unlawful killings. it doesn't matter whether it's 4000 or 4000000. why, why are you sure?

what does it say about your people that you are treating migrants in this way? that is not correct. your information is not fully accurate, you're reporting half of the information that has been out there. let me also repeat to you as i was stating the, the legit crimes you're talking about, which the libyan government has been dealing with and continues to work with and deal with with the various un organization is concerning. some facilities where there is no more than $4000.00 at the most migrants that happened to be in these facilities because they're supposed to. and you and organizations also know that these are migrants that are supposed to be listed to another country. but the rest of the, of the miners that we have, and we have about a 1000000 in libya, live really and safely among all libyans throughout libya, all right, time in via we run out of time. thank you. thank you for making that point and
