three hundred forty death. do you believe the epidemic is under control in your countries- we just want to add that the authorities have declared a four day. nationwide core few during the eidid el fitri cecelebrations. well thehe numbers are going down we have- just creation under control momostly but we are being very carefull because of f you still don't know the exact- pattern of behehavior for this virus- yu may all. y you have to o be reay for a second wait t that's w we are emphasizing this- measures toto be implementedd carefully. compared to other countries i think we have done- extremely well- in terms of- taking does measures early all. implemementing themm our people have- expropriated does measures and they are abiding. by them and- the art of course are going intoo a gradual phase of- easing up some of the restrictions- but of you're going to be careful because i think a common trait. of this

call with nineteen. it in which we live right now is that you're going to have to live to live with it for some time. right now i wanna turn- to libya- chili- turkey's intervention there has upended- the situation on the ground it has given the upper hand. to the government of fayez al seraj against his arch rival holy fire. haftar simply- he'd been holed up in the capital tripoli it seems now- that haftar's troops and allies. are fleeing away is this what's happening right now as wewe spek in libya. . well the s stion remains very critical and fragile i love v. sign an agreement with the libyan government- which is recognized by d. u. n. as legegitimate representative of the libyan people- back in- in. december of two thousand nineteen upon the request of f the libyan government of national accord. we are to be provided them but without some help- advice- and w.w. senend some advisors- darey

to help them. and bring a degree of- balance to the conflict in fact our intervenention an argument with the national accord government has i indeed brought a degree of balance. to the conflict there if you look at our house two yearars. he has broken every singngle agreement e every singe says fires. arere put together and- hope to bee impmplemented y the e internatioional comommunis not. recognizezed any of the u. n. mandate stay actually he hass broken the ceasefire agreed in the berlin conference. are hee continues to attack-k- on his on people and w. believe it's time for the international community to recognize w what's up that- t is. that he is not a legitimate representativeve of thee libyan people he's he's brought moree suffering-g- and- exhilarated te violence in iraq in libya with the support of a n number of countries obviously. the gulf region. and most recently- from russia but we believe that. the

military solution not a solution in libya what do you n. as laid out a n number of prprinciple the berlin conferene put together a n number of five principal frank. anand be also that surajaj department has been very risky. both and constructeted from the very beginnnning they have implementd to see. is not. to leave. at he was. billy also reports from russia's sending war planes it seems that the suraj governmenet with your decisive support is pushing for a a military ctctory against hahaftar. they are dedefending theirir positions te interpolate in libya's capital theyey are responding to haftars aggressive behaviors and- the mercenaries that- were brought

to lead the- from-m- chartrt fr- ththe sudan. from syria mosost recentlyly the wagner group whih is the russian. military company are they all-- fought actualally on the side of cough that and now t they are realizig i mean hosters backers realize that that's not a solution it's not t rking and this iraqi government in fact h has said many many times- that that they want a politicical solution nota military solution. but obviously they have a right t to defend themselves are they ready to push- onto territory- controlled by haftar and maybe- as far.. as his stronghold benghazi. there t to be. a political solutionn which will applply to all o of libya not jt a singngle or certain parts of libyan territories. that t is nt on thehe intercollegiate all sinceree tie in benghazi and other places your recent actions by. the hostile forces in fact have turned people into also againstst tough there. so i

don't know what theheir military planss are but they-y- t they ae entitled and i see them determine the fact to defend themselves againstst off the extra if needed militarily right but- you're encouraging the suraj governments- two defeats haftar militarily if he doesn't want to listen to any. consolation cracked. we've bebe encocouraging them to-o- i appld the p principles of the berlin conference as well as the u. n. plan s. it also military force. i know actually the berlin conference- calls for a cease fire- for a politicical resolution if you remember it was out of f the berlin confererence- that a milititary council decision wasas taken to be. five from the s side riright side far f from thehe holocaust decide to talk about the conflilicting right here but i'm kind of the hotter side has refused to send e even represesentatives to that military council instead they increase their military attacks arare. in responsese to that the suraj government is responding

to that- to push off their military offense right i want to ask you about- some news that just came out- from you an expert's report- talking about. private the western force is- that had been- sense- to libya a few months ago to prevent turkey from- giving us some military. help to this the russian government and he e said thisis was coordinated from company based in the united arab emirates w what's yoyour question this repoport from expert. well other governments in the provide a lot of military and financial support to haftar and it's not a stick with t their final in thihis war babait by probably usingng other oil money coming from the league oil sales. come come to by half. ms provide money for probably devote their groupup bt the russian personal but as well as. thanks the chat. i do

knew thahat. i am a place that ended its western member. it'd yeah and i cleared shows really the violence there. right there been some with friend over a over syria in a statement just two weeks ago- the foreign ministry of turkey accused of friends of being-- the patron of the axis of malice- what's the situation with frances this. is still a very tense relationship because of disagreemements over libya over syria and all the things. well in libya we had exextensive discussions- the berlrlin conference a as well as beforere and our presidedent ata number of discussions with the president macron aboutut finding a popolitical solutioion. to the libyan conflict- but unfortununately france continues to support off that would turn out to be not reliable the was the one- friends with everyryone to s support him that's what yor site yes of course we believeve that you b believe that anyone who supports- still supporting

house that. is on thehe wrong side- into libyan conflict in syria we have our disagreements- as well not only with us but also with ththe united s states because both of them arere supporting pyd ypg which is p. k. syria branch and pkk is listed as a terrororist organization and it.t. rececogne as a terrorist n nation in f fre i believe that supporting p. y. d. ji name of fighting didache that was the justification couple of years ago and nowow te didice thatt happepen mostlyly connecected a apps it was dececd by. the president of the united states by the number of an ally they stillll. support y. the why dodo we have to. s see what. ise gender is to create a lot production late into sunday againn the veryy i ia of siriuis totalmentete and the cold. you see l leave the car our c circln muslim okay inin. june the end
