and the russssians and their mercenaries.s. with oururcall. yeahah amber it'ss but also involved and soo we thinink it's an that t the arms. implementetd immediately- and that- all sides movee towardd a d de escacalation- that thatt w would allow up applause so we get a good feature. so provided you met prior to try and look after the people who have called it in libya yeah how does the u. s. and to put forwardrd a plan ththere you have e adopted the f the berlin. i am we partrtipate in the c call several months we agreed witit chahancellor m merl but also- erdogan putin boris johnsoson. . everybody was there and it other than b being p prod

of ccb to that- that we would- the move toward a ceaease firee that we had courage all sides to. thee five five militaryy talks. that is not in this beining implemented- but- we ar- in caves- a and i increasingly concerned as well about-- the latest reports some of broadcdcast russianan fighter js arriving in the country-- this is a big escalation and we're sure some of. the leading people. it's time for this war to stop. what is the us is doing in orderer to helplp the libyanan peoplee. . well w we a. sending funding for covert reliefs- but we also engage in politically that means necessarily- talking to all sides- doing diplomacycy throughout the region- gettingn- the backers those p parties were

out in- it did libya to shore up but what we haven't seen that- t the murder of nearly fie five hundred and fifty thousand individual you know since the billion by the libyan government i think that's the primary difference- what the what the also redeem and the russians havave done it. yes so haven't seen the sort of suffering on that- mass level yet but--his couldld spin out of control- iff the russians troops to escalate further. and also you are using in your opinion behind the ongoing political crisis and security threats in iraq i'll call him if you have the beds. mmhm well l listen i ththink that- y you have a- new government there- but certainlyy all the cabinet seats have not been a apportioned yet- but prie minister connie- seems to be a-

iraqi nationalist who is- it's devoted- to but demonstratingng and expressing- iraq's sovereignty- he doesn't want his state are to be cool rock. he it is to make their own decisions he also- then we'll see going forward- youou whether he's able to succeed in in actually demonstrating iraqi sovereignty but- thank god he's gonnnna normsms challenges in ft of him of f some of those are on the secururity side but i'm certainly happy with what. eighteen dollars a barrell up. the impact iraq's economy which is already in pretty bad shape before- before the cold. how do you view the future relationship between washington and d i'll call them is governmement we aree optimisist- of t the secreretary s spoken wh ththe prime minister called me a
