dominated decades . thank you very much for being with us. at least forty four people have been killed in an attack that struck a migrant center in l lia it's the most deaeadly attacks insults duties escalated three months ago. to eastern forces of county for after on the internationally recognized government. the attack is being blamed on forces loyal to the warlord after a man who in april spoke with us president donald trump by telephone. united nations envoy cason selimiye has condemned the astruc saying that it clearly amounts to the level of a war crime. we mightht have to us forces had issued a statement denying responsibility for the attack. is that i'm not a and then the whole movie we have not issued

an order targeting the shelter. and sites that we're talking about has been used by militia group known out among many she a model for the submission of the month. mls elena job that -- of half does forces let's bring in for analysis and my body was a school of the middle east institute and i thank you very much for being with us -- half dot described by donald trump during that conversation april as having a significant role in guarding libya against terroris. and securing the petrol feels and now this happens in half dot seemingly is to blame for this thoughgh yet to reallyly ascertn who is behind it. i'm where do you think this leave libya on the situation regarding how star on the international recognized government -- well with regards to the call from donald trump it's true that haftar had to an extent a certain -- role -- in terms of countering terrorism -- in libya however in terms of this particular attack or offensive that he launched on april fourth on tripoli the goal

is clearly not -- counterterrorism and in fact even -- despite the fact that haftar has in his media -- the name of the national army media has tried to first of all spin it as a counter terrorism is it on it thehen has completely. out last that narratives to now go on to another that really focuses on n it countntering. militias -- illegal militias in the capitall it's a truck -- in terms of where it leaves the dn particular this iss a power grab ththis is this w was an attempta crew. that has been bobotched -- beyod that humanitariaian disasterr tt has cost so far wee have. hundreds of dead we hahave.. the e death toll cicivilian wiss doububled s since yesterdrday w- forty one yesterday a and now we're at eighty eighty five or more. and more than a hundred thousand people d displacednd it hass alo

bebenefited terrorism and a research an islamic state -- to be honest so it leaves libyan a very fragile situation i think one ofof the primamary -- or sof the primary actorors are players that will be affecteted will be neighboring countntries -- but also the e. u. that has n not bn able. to establish a cohesive --- and united position -- on the libyan file so far we can understanand why many libyans are extremely frustrated -- some i've spoken to discuss that about what's happened since -- gaddafi was overthrown back in twenty eleven and the situation remains as unstable it seems. for them as it have as as it ever walls -- the words of the invoicece from you and gas on saturday saying this amounts to a war crime. that can be said but it's unlikely anybody be brought to book of what has happened. yeah -- a i agree i concur with

that -- given the current backdrop of war and the statements that we've seen from different multilateral institutioions run right before- it's five minutes ago there was also a statement from -- the us state department on this particular -- erroror ratat on e detention center everyonone has avoided the name pop star -- everyone has not. been able to producuce the statement that iraq the condemns in. so give in the current backdrop of the old lord this is the fact to a green light to operate with impunity and the the international community's reall. letting -- this a default and get worse to be honest and i think it will be a pr nightmare- for the international community and it will cause instability that will affect not only north africa but the entire region. coming back -- to we mention the trump phone call back -- in it in april i think it was when he spoke at halftime i'm not the time of course you know there's an internationally recognized government in trump seem to be in some ways.

undermining that by speaking with thehe man who was threateng it he was at two mounting a military campaign against it. there's been this real problem about the international approach to libya which is created the situation i in which we have toy is that this instability which is almost chronic. which creates is a kind of lawlessness. and that these migrants should become. doubly victims in many ways already displaced in our own homes already living in camps and now this attacack on the its basically sums up the huge. sort of extending. tragedy that's before libya. yeah. well in terms of how migrants are treatated or how m migrantse been. really affffected by y the conft in libya the e. u. h has really fofocused on externalizing its border management capacity. to militiaias i includingng mils are not particicipating in the dna principally on thehe sididef the g. and i a actuallyy took te you went back government.

at a a also to a certain extent on their side. now this policy -- this approach to migigtion managemement. has really been a detriment -- of the country's stability and its ability to stop any form of unified -- government andnd to provide friendly governments and i think that. to an extent what we see today is an indictment of u. policy and it is deplorable. the e. u. actively elvis the its lease had a traditional link with libya i'm still has many business links with maybe a two everyone would like a that they did the oil which is me being very cynical about it but i think that's really at the end of a lot. of what the problems are at and maybe it's it's making certain people not acted in a particular way when perhaps. internationally everybody should get their heads together try to resolve the crisis. well ironically i mean the oil flow at this point time has not been particularly affected by the contemporary conflict which is why i think we haven't really

seen. a knee jerk reaction to whwhat s going on so you haven't really hot -- myy growth slows increase you haven't had a really had a destruction -- of the oil flows the only thing that has happened is instability. inside libya -- my group that civilians this place that's a truck but so far that has mainly been c contained. to libya you'e had very little effect outside of it and that's why i think we have a lot of complacency. but from my perspective i think that the e. you shoululd definitely be worried -- because it is one of the primary actors that is affected by any instability or disturbance coming from libya. you countries should have a common p position against the current conflict itt has been shown that. the offensive or off those attempt at taking control of tripoli peacefully as this -- offensive was. initially envisioned it was envisioned as a forty eight hou- surprise attack or capture leads

and has now devolved into an almost three months long -- war that could drag on for a very long time. i think that it is now about time -- for t the e. u. and neighboring countries to take action againsthat's going o on becaususe every day that passes creates more grievanceces and every day that pasasses n now ie space fororctually having any form off constructive conversation around all thing. or having any formal ceasefire that would cease hostilities. and i believe that thank you for joining us i'm a body call it the middle east institute with his analysis of the situation in libya thank you so very much with the san francisco. adjuster monte food of all people killed in a strike on a my consensus in libya the forces of a democratic not being blamed for this were waiting -- for confirmation and he went and boy a son salami saying that it clearly amounts to the level of a war crime. thanks to live in paris sudan's

main o opposition alliance sayss prepared for direct talks with the country's military rulers over who should head a sovereign council. to lead sit down towards elections. the forces of freedom change opposition alliance says the talks in response to a call for negotiations from the three okay mediated should last for three days. our system and demanding than what you give up house since april the armed forces toppled president omar al bashir and his thirty year rule. after demonstrations against him that begeg in januarary. is it asking for a lot of stalled since may twentieth negotiations between the ruling military and the opposition have resumed in sudan. wednesday protest leaders agreed to direct talks but with conditions them outward with that he loved the forces for declaration of freedom and change met. and dedecided t trespond to the invitation to direct a geisha asians. as long as i went say demands but i will say essential notes

that have to be completed before we talk about direct negotiations. among protest leaders conditions that the transitional council have a civilian majority not a military. one and they want a set time frame for concrete results yeah well i'm not even we'll say said that there has to be a deadline to these negotiations. we suggest seventy two hours wee on the sudanesee people don't have the space to keep dragging on that these endless negotiations. the agreement is progress for mediators f fm ethiopia and the african union who stepped up their efforts to try to endhe popolitical stalemate. engaged in a standoff since the ousting of president omar al bashir the two sides first agreed to the establishment of a transitional council back in april. since then negotiations over what that counsel would look like have broken down several times. and in june a deadly military crackdown on the opposition said and escalated the mistrust.

but now protesters and military rulers are trying again this time with support from the entire continent in hopes of ending the crisis. rahul gandhi as quick as the leader of the congress party in india. as he did so we c called for reform the movie seemsms to separate the longstanding link between the gandhi family and the party. who conde says he takes full responsibility for the election defeat last month?? a correspondent monokini gala has this from new delhi. it's hard to say that this has come as a surprise star to any any of them but ever since backed -- humiliating defeat only a few weeks ago mister connelly has to be an old friend of a sign and that also was even rejected by the congress is so working committee at least once before. so the body has to be launched into fresh tururmoil quite sooon after thatt most sob. and facing the sort of

the five hundred also breaking into new territory there tesla shares were up about four and a half percent. after it reported record delivery and production. earlier the major european indices closed higher between about two thirds and three quarters of a percent across the board. electric rental scooters have taken paris by storm over the past year. they recently been banned from pavementnts but can still be fod on pretty much every street corner. now six out of the twelve companies that set up shop here say they're pulling out. claiming an oversaturated marke. the neatest way to stick around paris on electric scooter you cann rent firing up then leave anyway once you finished. twelve start ups have been trying to get in on the act but now six of there's a dissenting the capita. one of them both blamed an excess number of operators and devising vandalism. stuff top line says it staying put. with o only about his own. reasons one of quality service

for their scooters you need to think about having the right number of scooters in the right place at the right time you can't have too many. perhaps we had a moment of access and harris but now things are being standardized. that's good news. last month the mayor of paris took steps to regugulate the industry banning scooters from pavement. i guess the operators to sign a code of conduct. the adults in the of parisis and has announced clear rules there will also be a selection of operators depending on a varariy of criteria the safety of course respect for the environment and also how they pay their workers. so t that's going to change the situation anyway it's going to change the economic balance. we're just going to keep the most serious companies that sell you popular with commuters and tourists lesser with residents who complain of any key on the pavement. with new regulations and fewer scooters on the streets this new mode of transport looks set to stay. mark i'm all for innovation but i for one would not be a happy

to see the end of those i think we should get. one here a a france twenty four try it out see you can see you count but the way they leave them lying around is really dangerous need a moment to even if you're gonna test actually thank you very much. kate that with the business. let's cross the studio and james lee what's good evening to you. now that is starting to look ahead to some that's been something to build as the show of a lifetime but not by everybody please explainin. absolutely at it is of course the fourth of july celebrations preparations well underway now in the united states. i have a lot of americans cartoonists seem to have taken the stance that this is something to be ridiculed and tell lays in the washington pos- cool that trump's self serving time show. that said not says that need one two am complementary this one friend bill brown -- in the new york daily news. i miss the old fourth of july celebrations as uncle sam and of course that image very much a note to what we saw happen in tiananmen square. and the only did that perhaps donald trump is emulating dick takes as with the idea of this

military paradee and sent me one that a lot of people talking about online now. the us president himself had this to say all july fourth salute to america at the lincoln memorial is looking to be redeemed bake it will be the show of a lifetime. that's the name that he seems to get into it the s. salute to america a lot of people feeling that this is more about saluting the man himself. and this one i think everyonee understands wed the idea off ths military parare came from he was ofof course the guest of f a mal knock on here in pariris back i. twtwenty seventy four baststilly i'i'm thiss little snippet shows and pumpmping h his fists as hes the m. military might coming down the shelves and he say tha. and the washington post there has this article which says. that this is just a bond imitation of walk from stars with us today -- it's by paris based right to karina pizza and she says that he may have what's the french parade but he failed to look hough it's showing the minute trees surface -- she said

he was off the enchanted by the tanks in the flyer was what he missed with the things that set it apart from what happens in russia or perhaps north korea to you with these kind of military parades. and she says the fourth of july at fourteen to two high here in france is about citizenship and unity and as an international flavor to it. too and a also in the washington post another interesting piece this one talks about the sort of the cost and the politicizing. of this events. two and a half million dollars that was in march for the national parks service. is now being we directed at for this show of home put display of military might and a lot of people very unhappy about that. at a loss also. controversially the white house is actually handing out tickets to its -- it's because it's donors if you like as well as political appointees for this event so this is an event. but it's really not necessarily for the american honda the two

sizes absolutely -- and generally the independent state isn't dot possum it's not. totally free of political influence has to be sad but i am one thing that is interesting they're built we're already seeing some tanks rolling through washington it's been seen on social media -- and some people are pointing out that at it's not the first time we've seen tanks used in this way -- this is an image from dwight eisenhower's's inauguration andt happened with other integrations t. at this image -- to if you heard about parades becoming an over the top celebration of the president the only day parade in nineteen forty two you was a doozy. i'm not is there a giant bust of flat of roosevelt at being driven through the streets it was supposed to be about recognizing the troops and supporting the us troops were involved because the second world war. and so you have to wonder quite when they need to be a giant bust all of the united states and the president of the united states at that particular momen. and other peoeople realllly i'mm hahappy at thehe way thihis m me ununited statatesook at julie at your feet a genesis i left russia for this -- this job was
