7:11 pm
is actually to meet the military as well as the means yet what kind of dressing force, anything today? it's basically what one most acute the expense would describe as an in military company club. i bet you will be a member of speech. that's what we all as a member of the united nations on the united nation. so if you look at chapter 7, the all the united nations craft that actually gives a it is, it is, i guess, the useful for sleeping in resolve in peace. and what we usually do is to send piece to the admissions and of the troops on peacekeeping machine back on march 20 gauge. the other one is, i guess if you had a problem, i mean after today's meeting, i spoke to quite a number of people and everyone seemed to be unhappy about that decision about cause before a son by 420 tools, you wouldn't be the consent of the contribute just which is the member states after the reports that would be cheaper. what now?
7:12 pm
and they will submit that seemed to be mcglatian, of course, with the issue on the piece council. they will not receive that report and then have a gauge meant to be late and then a final decision will be made to just to point out. another aspect here in new jersey is now at the receiving end of sweeping sanctions from many of its former partners with the e u front and some of the us causing the whole financial aid to the country. while eco was itself imposed restrictions. closing borders. whitney here on suspending financial. busy choice, naomi is not the 1st to fee li, economic for sale of echo was it previously targeted molly burkina, faso and guinea with a barrage of financial sanctions following military cruise. there to be lost. united nations has called for a few moments hurry and exemptions to those sections. it noted that for months, well before the president was listed,
7:13 pm
several 1000000 people were and are in dire need of. the un is warning, the current crisis could worse in that situation. well, we spoke to attorney on global policy analysts from nigeria, daniel. but while i'm who says that from the beginning, the west african region of law pursued the routes of intervention. rather than diplomacy. it go, i've got it runs right from the beginning. part of the strategy for negotiation is to bring things that a value to both sides. it's you see people in the united states natal, i'm not taking those hot stubs. so what did you, but it was right from the beginning decided that it was going to say ministry before decided negotiate which about resulted in so many of the delegations about this. i would need your bins not rejected. and this time, by maybe to by decide, remember to have my just because at the moment usually most find it all by itself,
7:14 pm
digitally supported by 3 or the applicant countries. as you need to also understand that the border states they are by 6. but has these borders that julia and these are the people lead the religious religion of business interest. ready in new jersey. so you already have a problem where the country, where the vehicle with jack comes from might have a difficulty riley around their support. they gave me here in the 1st place, really totally the highest, they kind of do it bordering state for example, ships deals with made to on the west. or while i guess these are the higher they gotta do, is to fund this look under the shift of rooms to create that kind of a conflict situation. or they need you in the hope that they will make the gym and the general popular. but the problem with that is that if you look at africa, you look at ass over each of you see that in the last 15 to 20 years, be happy. see, this is such as the and the total respective. it is. so is a delicate environment. the minute you begin to 5 possible fun do um, you know,
7:15 pm
that it would make duff regime on popular. you are likely to create a scenario that would escalate. ready crisis situation because if you manage it in that situation, which may, that's how the baby's or to actually test spring just like we have to add up speeds . okay, now the story, we are closely following to a clash and the libyan capital between 2 of the country's most powerful functions has left at least 55 people. that breaks on violence of being a regular occurrence there. since a nato backed uprising cause deep divisions in the nation back in 2011, several live bloss marked on exchange of fire between the special determined sports which acts as the capital of the fun to police. on the 400 and 44th brigade linked to libya's defense ministry, the deadly violence came after the commander of the lawford was arrested shop ring . i'm already shaky piece. between the 2 malicious, some of cold. the scenes,
7:16 pm
the worst tripoli has witnessed and over a year long it please foreign minister has from the nature was operation a dozen years ago in libya. failure which brought the instability to the region of charge that lead. at least i believe that it was a very serious mistake to let conducted be killed and may not have been the champion of democracy, but as long as he was eliminated, political instability arrived in libya and africa. well, libby of former italy and colony is still a totally mess right now. suffering from the result of a french and british let invasion that killed its leader. no marg adolphe, back in october, 2011. and what did easily get out of that? a flood of migrants, it's not like it off. he didn't warn europe. telling french tv ahead of the nato bombing into the top of his country. that if he went down, then italy and france specifically would be flooded that with millions of migrants because would be a played
7:17 pm
a role in securing and stabilize the africa and the mediterranean. and that's exactly what ended up happening. the flow of migration into europe is still a big problem with the death of hundreds of margaret's and the central mother trade in so far this year alone, lydia is become a haven for human smuggling and slavery at a launching pad for migration into europe and italy is really very new brand new that as we've seen recently with all these, this capsizing in the mediterranean and driving of migrants, not quite the freedom and democracy that nato had promised. this is great to be in libya, free libya at midnight. tonight, a successful chapter in nato history will come to an end. you have already started writing a new chapter in libya's history. we acted to protect you together. we succeeded. believe it is finally free from being gauzy to break out from ms. rata to western mountains, and to truthfully, okay, sounds like he's talking about a whole other planet. we had to deal with gadhafi for libya to serve as
7:18 pm
a choke point of sorts for african migration heading towards europe. he promised to intercept any migrants who ended up in the mediterranean and send them back to libya before they could enter italian waters. but then italy ended up endorsing the western backed libyan rebels against the dolphin. and, well, all bets were off for the libyan leader. for some reason, italy was just shots that could off, he was no longer willing to play ball and i pulled the migrant intersection deal after dooley started cheering for regime change against him, putting desperate people on a boat and pushing them off to sea, sending them to die and demanded to randy him is something very close to being another crime against humanity for which the regime will have to dance the western branding of those libyan rebels as heroes. just like the syrian rebels. he fought against president bashar al assad before detective and joining up with other g hodges against the west. in some cases or the c i. a trade and backs of solomon
7:19 pm
lighten led the taliban during the us cover organs. the soviets in afghanistan, in the eighty's, the gave rise to al qaeda. we all know what happened with them. 911. it's all i need to say or more recently, like the training as our neo nazis western training back to story. well, it's to be continued all western back and all western tools of regime change who then became or risk becoming still taking time bonds that could blow back at any time against western interest. no saw that coming ages to go. good, aussie. now listen, you people of nato, your bombing a wall, which student the way of african migration to europe, and in the way of all kinds of terrorists. this was libya. you're breaking it, you're ready. it's, and you will burn in hell for the thousands of migrants from africa and for support me all tied. it will be so i never lie and i do not lie now. so there's another
7:20 pm
aspect to this tragedy. the french financial crime prosecutors here in paris. i've told the french press back in may, that they will ask a judge to try former french president, regardless of prison, for passive corruption, criminal association, the legal financing of electronic campaigns and concealment of embezzled public findings in libya and lydia. so alt your motives for i was think adolphe would certainly help to explain what african leaders had said way back when about western refusal to even less than take charge of this libyan conflict on their own. confident in the view or in light of a peaceful resolution. no way previous to mediation on the mission of translating. well,
7:21 pm
what are the by the go button of the bloods libby. so what's the takeaway here? turns out that italy did not stand up against its western allies to protect its very own interest in libya back then. and it continues to just go along to get along with pretty much everything that us lead nato dies to the continued detriment of its very own interest. and certainly those of its citizens around top diplomats has met with his saudi contra part on a visit to reach out as a mark the resurgence of relations between the former regional rivals following a lunmark deal brokered by china earlier this year. here's archie, correspond use of july on the visit, the main line. it was for a minister jose 9. the on to saudi arabia essentially completed the recipe for me.
7:22 pm
it was sort of relationship between one and we all that we and has already been added to the next. the embassies and consulates officially being in the solid, foreign minister or toward visiting was back to june. when he met with the presidents, everyone raised the so for it to real means that the 2 former buried in a joint press conference today with his saudi counterpart, pretty space on the issues between one and we are all on the right track yet. and yet we witnessed the day that the relations between the 2 countries are progressing the right direction. we believe that the idea of achievement, security, and development in the region is an idea of it cannot be fragmented. we are sure that these meetings will help the unity of this planet world for his park friends face all said that the king of hope to see it was president re c. visiting the following king, size and position,
7:23 pm
which he had communicated during the june visit to get upset today that would travel so they can get to the top. the top diplomat said engaging closely each way, security areas, the history or says that they will launch enjoyed the comment chemistry in the near future. they also agreed to increase their gauge mentioned areas such as taurus are trying to see an air, transport, energy, and environment. so it seems that the grievances have now given way to a promising friendship, which the foreign ministers believe that this will benefit nations and will also help establish security the tire we just looked at. a lot of that our meeting today is a continuation of steps taken towards implementing the agreement to resume and diplomatic relations which represents a pivotal platform in the history of the 2 countries in the past of regional security. so under the script to the change,
7:24 pm
there is the latest sign in both countries. determination improve, tyson, i mean, really quickly since march this year with china, we met between the 2 countries to re establish there are times after 7 years are really hostility. prior to the mazda hosted military officials from you want us on the review on wednesday, one to 2 sides. of course, our security officials from the to signs match with the, with each other to discuss ways to improve their military engagement on the 11th of the sidelines will be limited to security conference in muscle. this as the former adversary's back opposing signs. in the norwegian, syria, and especially after the several times in 26 the phone. this took me about the sony embassy to angry, over the execution of the top sheet. and now we see that there reconciliation has large, these tense, the title when they're wanting different,
