i got it. right. as another choice of those you know i got you do you want us out of both about the. italy hosts a peace conference aimed at putting an end to the year's long conflict in libya but the country's oil reserves are acting as a magnet to those vying for a share of the resources. that's occurring up on the program but u.s. judge orders a state prison service to consider if a transgender woman can be held in an old female facility we shoot up for debate. prison is a talk place it's all well everyone should be safe but that doesn't mean this should preclude should be granted to people who claim that they're transgender it's not appropriate for treatment it's about keeping these people alive and that is actually in the best interest of these prison systems. and performance president is

criticized for marching alongside right wing groups in warsaw to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of their country's reestablishment as an independent states. around the clock across the world this is our t. international from the team and myself you know me alone welcome our top story it's the least hosting an international conference on libya this monday the aim to end the conflict in the country that's been dragging on since the ousting of colonel gaddafi in twenty eleven france has also been trying to establish itself as a regional peacemaker the last moroccans d. of explains there could be all teary or motive behind all the apartment good intentions seven years. seven. chaotic here is

a country torn apart two governments countless warlords tribes guy. ngs duking it out for power and or oil. of course everyone's trying to help stop this italy which has been flirting with general half star who leads one of the two rival libyan government and controls almost half the country fronts with its regular peace summit where macron plays the matchmaker paris wants elections as soon as possible one of the crucial elements is the organization of presidential and parliamentary elections on december tenth twenty eight thus it's a commitment on the basis of this process to fully and safely give their

sovereignty back to the libyan people and allow them to express it on this date but it's only for one doesn't want elections premature and they think conditions aren't right they say and france france once something else they fear my fear is that someone for economic motives and selfish national interest is putting the security of north africa at risk and result of europe as a whole i'm thinking of someone who waged a war that should have been waged someone who said election days without discussing it with allies with the united nations were indeed with the libyan people move over mad cause you tried to end your summit failed room is hosting its own get together for peace but rumors say general haftar may be too busy to attend what with storming the capital and all tripoli must be liberated and will not remain in the wrong hands the armed forces will act after making proper assessments

we will move on tripoli at the proper time why is tripoli so. important you might ask legitimacy it's the capital the government that currently controls it is the un recognized one general has controlled hof the country much of the oil but he by international law sell it only the recognized government can he needs the capital and make no mistake the libyans understand well what the europeans are up to and why they're backing different sides. of course there is negative intervention from some countries which we've mentioned during several meetings and it's a national forest this needs to be taken into account and this should be enslaved nation of the international position towards libya and the direction of libya so that we can overcome this crisis. in libya has the largest proven oil reserves in

africa and italy france one does much as they can get italian or oil giant any recently purchased a large part of b.p. oil and gas license with the aim of increasing exploration friend trival totalis has also been buying up drilling rights eager to get the pumps going this is a competition with billions at stake b.p. is the largest producer was the largest producer of oil. and not only that but its boil is highly prized because of its. technical qualities its so-called sweet low sulfur so it's highly prized in its refining is easier than some of the other stuff or other person at least serving ready once a problem is mr after area controls all the oil that's the real question and not to be too cynical that's what the europeans are most concerned about originally

they were back in tripoli just on the order of stability. because that was recognized by the united nations but increasingly the europeans were getting very frightened. more strife in libya will further cut off their oil supplies mistrusting now with the prospect of more sanctions on iranian oil what's remarkable is that amidst all this endless war the. slavery crime will production is on the up by the end of next year they plan an increase in production to war levels one point six million barrels a day you can question their priorities but you can only admire the dedication. but what's the feeling like among the public or people we talked to in libya's capital tripoli expressed their skepticism that a positive outcome from today's meeting would be achieved. with we want something

useful we want a productive meeting we want them to agree on something and then return to the libyan people and tell them that they have found a solution no one has found a solution. with regard to conference there is nothing new happening the right solution is not wishful thinking but real and concrete were more than one who puts all the parties to bloom a conference can reach a solution because the people who suffered enough as you can see may god guide them and blissed gumtree. i think there is an undeniable conflict between the italian and french states over economic interests as well as over control and the image of the two countries. or i'm moving on now a u.s. federal judge has ordered prison officials in illinois to reconsider a transgender woman's denied request to be moved to a women's prison it comes after the inmate took legal action against the state's

correctional department claiming that she's treated like a sex slave in men's facilities twenty six year old dion strawberry hunton is currently serving a ten year sentence for burglary she say she's faced sexual abuse in all four of the men's prisons she's been held in ten has had her previous requests for transfer denied and argues that she would be safer in a women's prison or a lawyer has praised the federal judge's intervention. this is an important step not only for school but in general for transgender women imprisoned across the nation while the department of corrections which is responsible for the supervision of inmates sees it makes every possible effort to safeguard vulnerable prisoners. the illinois department of corrections maintains a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment the department carefully considers housing assignments and the unique

needs of offenders who identify as transgender or we took the opportunity to discuss prison policy in america towards transgender people with rights certain was unfamiliar rogers right on the political commentator steve malzberg first. trump administration recently loosened and change regulations that came down under the obama administration they say that if you're if you're judged on what you are based on your biological sex ok so this person that we're talking about in chicago in illinois though i would be judged a male under the trumpet ministration and the reason it was changed is because female prisoners in texas had a similar situation and they sued they didn't want a transgender male who said he was a woman coming to their prison they said it was an invasion of their property that you keep everybody safe but you don't start making accommodations special accommodations and gender dysphoria is accepted by the american medical association

in american psychological association as distress from gender assignment at birth so this isn't just something that people are doing for fun this is a recognized medical condition based on science based on research and decent study so it's very very important that we are treating these prison facilities better just like the entire society needs to be trained and more informed about the very specific issues that are affecting transgender people nationwide three looking about personality people twenty people how much money do you want to spend how many special provisions you want to make in a system that probably doesn't have enough money in the first place for twenty people you need to keep everybody say if but you can start making special provisions to anybody who says that they feel like they were women when they were met born a man could be classified as trans gender whether they mean it or don't mean it i mean you have to consider the masses as opposed to the twenty people involved. well

that's a very very dangerous. mode of speaking i happen to be from what is referred to as a minority class and just because white people are in the majority does not mean that as an african-american or a light next person that we should be subjected to white supremacy secondly it's hard for he said i have seen a lot of the letters he is talking about what our earth are you talking about white supremacy if i could if i could just finish it's hard for me to have sympathy for the prison system not having enough money when they were able to donate hundreds of millions of dollars to the donald trump campaign all the time prisoners regular president men and men and male prisoners all raped or attacked or pekin that's terrible so anyone that wants a transfer out they're going to get the same treatment as this transgender that you know they're not i mean prison is a tough place it's awful everyone should be safe but that doesn't mean that spec actual privileges should be granted to people who claim that they're transgender it's just not fair instances of violence is not a

a function of preferential treatment is a function of safety we also have special provisions for younger inmates we have special provisions for inmates who are proven to be suffering from mental health illness it's not a preferential treatment it's about keeping these people alive and that is actually in the best interest of these prison systems who are using these people for cheap or free labor anyway. in part on sunday flooding or put on donald trump or among the heads of state attending world war one commemorations while the two didn't have an actual meeting they still managed to grab headlines for what was described as a over a friendly body language don't you hawkins discuss the reaction with our team erica host scotty well he's earned here this time they're actually being a very tightlipped in fact this weekend that was something very uncharacteristic of a trumpet mistake in our top of it is that we didn't have a lot of details we didn't have that bad behind the scenes being leaked out put to new york. the washington post which it makes me think that possibly the leaks might

have been locked down or more importantly we're talking about such serious issues that even those who might if they could have passed realize that it's the not in the best interest of either country or any of the parties involved and it's of some interest of course there was a lot of media speculation on both sides from from the american the russian side and in the end the believe the president still a due to shuttle said the reason why it didn't go ahead was pretty much out of respect for the french saw what i mean they didn't want this to happen. probably probably a good idea as we discussed i think it's a good idea but i think it's not only just out of respect for the french who are your host i think more important out of respect for the reason why they were here to honor the veterans across the world international they gave their lives up for world war one and all the conflicts going on i think it actually had been very inappropriate for president putin president tried to meet together and i think they actually showed very good respect for each other more probably the soldiers that were being honored this weekend by choosing not to take the take attention away from them. they were there to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the end of

world war one so it does make sense that they were going to postpone that meeting since they'll have another opportunity very shortly but the world is in a serious situation now and we need to be speaking to each other me country after country conducting the largest military exercises largest war games in decades and how this should not be forgotten the broader context is that the world is rapidly sliding into war again so the lessons of the commemoration of world war one day ghastly war that horrific war in which tens of millions of people died which upset the international order which paved the way to even more terrible things that were going to come we have to learn the lessons of the problem is that our leaders don't learn the lessons of history. well ahead of armistice day donald trump criticized president mccrone over his proposal to create

a european army calling it insulting however in parts they seemingly gloss over any differences agreeing that more defense spending is needed in europe r.t. france asked. for his views on the. alternative military forces are not a new idea president micron has simply revived it europe is a large powerful economic unit and obviously it seeks independence and sovereignty in terms of defense and security i see it as a positive process in terms of strengthening the multipolar world. and president putin also directly spoke to us about the pressure various media are facing these days because. we have always heard from our western partners that one of the main principles of democracy is freedom of information creating lists and special counsel switch decide which media is bad and which is good this is not acceptable

this has nothing to do with democracy. to his american counterpart on it is rare if a double trump visit pretty much anywhere occurs with i protest on parlous was no exception . a cite to londoners here a giant balloon depicting trump as a baby was seen flying over the french capital protesters slammed his immigration and foreign policy and said they're growing weary of the us president. it's a disgrace to america and we think that time does not represent and american people . is not somebody you would look up to in any shape or form and i just think you know he's putting america he's not a french issue is a global issue and that's why we're here protesting he's not welcome here he's not welcome anywhere there are lots of other problems in the world and one of the

things that's upsetting me about trump is that he's distracting us from these other issues to stay with us because we're back in ninety seconds with much more news this monday afternoon. lead. to.

during the past thirty years lebanon has been subject to six invasions from israel . six invasions. every five years we are having. one and this is definitely coming through the health level. we start again with a sea of red in warsaw where the polish capital marked independence day with a nationalist march two hundred fifty thousand people gathered on sunday with some chanting quote i white and catholic poland crying america is empire of evil

the country's president and government officials were there to be alongside far right groups. to float through. polish flags on bombers were draped on. streets and across squares it's also been reported that a number of neo nazi symbols were spotted and then. there's a large police presence watching over the march which took place at the same time as a state military parade the government's decision to march alongside far right nationalists has been widely criticized. jewish philosophy professor from the hebrew university in jerusalem told us the my current issue is leading to a rise of nationalist sentiment across. the polish government as decided to actually embrace the. tendencies and.

ideologies of the past because. the fear from the immigration creates a bias a political bias and a political agenda to bring. into defensive approach towards the end of the immigrants threats from the past are becoming the reality of the present and rising again but we must pay attention to the fact that today we have more reasons not only underestimate islam but also what is going on with the european approach to do to the boulder questions and to the immigration question. to a developing story a blast has rocked the afghan capital kabul close to a high school in a polish district we are hearing after least three people have been killed eight others this stage injured it targeted

a demonstration against taliban attacks on the ethnic group in the country will last friday moscow a landmark multi lateral talks on afghanistan concentrating on peace in the nation china iran pakistan where some of those countries taking part and for the first time the taliban itself where represented russia's present. envoy for afghanistan told us why it's crucial to have the taliban engaged in a peace process. we don't like the idea that taliban control the you know it all have got to stand and these a later version of whom we started the context some four or five years ago a baby on the line and that they are not the more not bully. in afghanistan yes so they don't want to talk to these as they put a puppet government but they are ready to talk to but rule the spectrum of

political and social forces and in this gone through even got to be part of such negotiations so it was a very big progress for all of martin who before said no war until we wean taliban wound is not homogeneous or when it was announced as a terrorist organization it was a time when it was led by a late osama bin laden of that time the bulk and majority of the vault indeed to restart ration. global idea of global jihad and look at that but after defeat they review their policy and now we can see that the majority of the taliban movement they follow on the local. agenda which means our countries are grouped by it by force we have to.

that's it's legitimate for any nation to do saw. since they are part of the nation it's one second if sincerely a talking about peaceful political solution i'm gonna say look how can you do it result having the other side of the battlefield so that. swire your show we just look. at you could not make booze was a. little more spring in the latest dull not deadly attack in couple today but moving into african are with the un is warning of the rising death toll from in a bowl i break in the democratic republic of congo the disease which causes internal bleeding and spreads rapidly has already taken some two hundred lives in a matter of months officials say it's the worst outbreak in the country's history according to the health ministry of facts

a nation program has so far an ocular had about twenty five thousand people since the outbreak began in august doctors say more lives could be saved if medical teams didn't face direct threats to their lives from armed groups active in the region with more on this here's the trend go to. their new cell phone a necklace you just bought and a bowl of you might have forgotten the name of that deadly disease but there could be a connection between the three i'll explain in a sec this is the democratic republic of congo in the heart of africa that's where you find a lot of the pricey resources that the high tech and jewelry industries are after but who's in control of all that the legal it's the action of me little shot of cool and landline is school violence in a number of regions in the democratic republic of congo it is generated almost a billion dollars in revenue for rebels and criminal groups the country's politics

has been a violent mess for over twenty years now a days a new a bowl outbreak is making things worse for locals in only a few months it took the lives of almost two hundred people the health ministry says they've never had to deal with outbreaks of that scale and with armed thugs running the show in parts of the republic doctors are. losing confidence in their own efforts i do think this is one of the challenges we'll have to see whether we're able to contain control and the car now break within the current security situation after all even the brave us doctors don't want to risk their lives when they're under constant threat of being taken out at times it's just physically impossible to reach the affected areas on a harmed if we just look at the figures this belgian research center even stepped on the tremendous effort to map mining sites as well as our presence and in their

most recent report day identified more than two townsend's mine in sites in eastern alone. which gould being the most important ones when they found it over eighty percent of my mix were going in gold and some gold is it's more difficult to control and about sixteen percent of the miners were working in three eighteen mines and about the whole of these miners were in regulated treaty mine so so three eighteen months covered by that it's keep program so that good superadded idea about the magnitude of the sector and some of the proportionally very small part that that's covered by the international regulatory initiatives but as we've heard from the u.n. top man business means money does find its way into the fighters hands well back in two thousand and ten in america this law came into being and businesses were obliged to tell us if their products contained so-called conflict minerals from the

democratic republic of congo reputation risks are to joke it comes out in a number of reports that are highlighted with the press on the companies that are doing little or no activity at all there is some companies that used to report that i no longer reporting and so there is no. reputational risk for them to be seen as laggards and not doing enough to ensure that they are not fueling any of the conflict in the d.r. if we put bureaucracy nuts and bolts of side in april last year the legislation was basically suspended while some companies have kept playing by the old rules all others could have found a handy loophole for themselves regardless the big name brands and the manufacturers and the companies that i would buy a cell phone or a computer or or a car from i do have influence there are those some of the richest companies in the

world and they have the ability to work with their suppliers and work through their supply chain and have that assurance that they're not causing any death or destruction or violence against people you know or the planet. well nikki are in is here with all the latest updates this monday and it is a busy monday that's immediately after another visit to a studio a few doors down on today's sophia. i've been saying the numbers mean they matter us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like our time stamp each. eighty five percent of global wealth to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent just last year

somewhat four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and twenty rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrials. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember in one one show you know. or commit the one and only. is the idea of peace in yemen and if i recall also trump is insulted the europeans might defend themselves and russia gate front and center again. it's hard to imagine after the war a nazi doctor was still active rich in the nineteen seventies croteau had as the

chair of the board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery was a german company develops a little mite a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but all you know she said is just cut short arms minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge. welcome to. the shevardnadze political divisions risk shaking their fragile six hour imbalance in lebanon on the country stand firm where the syrian war still
