now prepared to help enforce the weapons in bargo and the agreement international players to stay out of the conflicts just the new e.u. special representative for the foreign policy mr bush has announced before that conference and believe in the you should be ready to play also an extrovert role in the country itself there where there were there were 4 european leaders the commission and the council re presented within the leader conference today in berlin and this shows that the e.u. after years of conflict in libya when you see france and italy have contradicting interests in libya on economic fields and so so he was paralyzed and turkey and russia stepped in so it's really. time now that the e.u. and its direct neighborhood like the via shows diplomatic and political strength and be ready to help on the ground christine both good and merkel emphasized that there's no military solution to this conflict in libya in in their opinion but there was also no announcement of a ceasefire and the 2 warring sides wouldn't even sit inside of the same room can they be a political solution in t

fire that's the pair requisites flying goal at the libya conference we must see that the weapons and bargo we suspected again ozzy's basically agreed by the un but unfortunately not observed so i believe that the message is good news because this and we do not wish to. derive our libyan leaders will take part in talks alongside representatives of 11 nations as well as several international look anything. the united nations and the european union when it come to talks and urged all parties to engage constructively towards ending the fighting the conference will aim to address a permanent cease fire and maybe the implementation of the u.n. arms embargo and renewed political efforts on all sides to reach a lasting peace. for now let's bring in our political correspondent simon young he's following these peace efforts good evening to you simon we know khalifa haftar he's not known for being the the most trustworthy man in the neighborhood can germany take this promise and claim it as a victory well it's good news is jones said and we shouldn't forget the general have to have the chance to sign

weapons and bargo which simply isn't being adhered to so sicking to what you've already agreed would already be a major step forward. i imagine that germany would be looked to as a big political force in that. michel. well at the same time germany is also very much known for its politics of being rather reserved when it comes to pushing troops on the ground or contributing to a force i think this simply isn't on the cards politically here in germany right now but there is also an awareness with the german chancellor angela merkel who is known for a political brand of trying to create stability that libya is very much the key to this so the question is if this can be pointing at least towards a political process how much germany would be willing to invest more concrete in the end hunted you want to add to that. yes there has been a demand in fact for on the part of the head of the government in libya in tripoli fired off saraj he's been given a serious in a series of interviews in recent days and one of them on said he has repeated is that he has said that kind of peaceful as a monito

weapons and bargo but there was no agreement for example on sanctions against countries that don't to do so and as alan mentioned have to go back to libya and promptly started hostilities up again so. how could we how could the powers involved actually be driven to keep their word and the e.u. foreign ministers talk now essentially rebooting the so-called sophia naval mission which was originally a mission to enter dike human smugglers and prevent smuggling in the mediterranean now apparently there's an idea it will be raised purposed and become a mission to interdict weapons instead. is that a good alternative could that actually take us a step further it should have happened long time ago. it was made since many years ships are coming from turkey and from other countries to the libyan coast and not only weapons drugs all kinds of illegal smuggling and i always wondered why this a few missions before and the need to missions before did not look for this mothers and i think we have an arms embargo instance to those 11 germany is heading the sanctions committee of the united of the sec

weapons and bargo it was an accident 2011 safe to say it was not respected i mean weapons are everywhere across libya so now we're hearing that all sides have agreed to respects and recommit themselves to that embargo what's your take on that i'm not sure about that because countries such as the emirates for example i think they will still keep on. giving drones to libya and exporting these these weapons i think the thing is also moscow is not really being very clear about its politics and i think in the end even like i've said before i think at the end it is it is something completely different what is being agreed upon on papers and reality in the end because rhetorical is not what these are all here but rather money and they called me to do a full course difference in berlin and a meeting room that is on the ground in libya now there were many different european players here leaders from from germany of course france has an interest italy as well where does this agreement do you think leave europe i mean does this make them perhaps more united than they were coming into the conference
