especially in one of the poorer regions of the world south africa is already facing a financial crunch the finance minister announcing measures today to rein in public spending. south africa has major headaches to deal with its cash strapped national carrier south african airways and its beleaguered power company eskom in the budget the finance minister set aside 1000000000 euros to help south african airlines repay its debts over the next 3 years meanwhile utility eskom will receive 6800000000 euros to allow it to meet its short term financial obligations the 2 companies embody the worst of south africa's economy mismanagement debt and in the case of eskom power outages that crippled the entire country many south africans fear that aid will trigger higher taxes in the new budget and they will have to pay more for gasoline so-called sin taxes on tobacco wine and spirits will also be increased. but despite all the financial problems the finance minister announced employees will pay 5 percent less income tax on average in 2020 corporate taxes will also be lowered a bombshell as the country's debt burden grows at an alarming rate. instead of hitting him battled south africans with these taxes the government plans to slash public spending especially on civil servants salaries. public transport spending will also be reduced and the defense budget cuts just like the health budget

on how iran is reacting to the outbreak. the government has been announcing some measures to deal with this fire and now we know that all cultural events concerts including film screenings have been canceled from tomorrow in the cities of iraq the schools are closed for a week the religious schools in calm where the health ministry thinks that this virus started from again closed tomorrow now on state t.v. they have been showing videos on how to wear the face masks properly and how people can wash their hands properly but they are 28 cases 10 new cases 8 in the city of 2 here in iran and we have had 5 deaths and now iraq has also suspended flights between the 2 countries iran has closed its land borders between the 2 countries and that's only been only open for a week after they have been closed for 4 months because of the insecurity in the protests that were taking pace in iraq iran doesn't think it was safe for the pilgrims to travel but now again those borders are closed we know that kuwait are suspended flights between the 2 countries now there is concern out on the streets of that ron we saw people wearing masks resort people question the government's account and also asking how many people actually affected they don't really trust the government and partly due to when that ukrainian airliner was shut down the government spent 3 days deny again people are suspicious but yes the schools are closed the cemeteries are closed concerts film screenings everything has been closed now to stop large numbers of people congregating chris smith is a consultant for all that is stand the naked scientists he says all the outbreak will likely continue to spread health authorities do have some control. well obviously anyone catching an infectious disease and catching it in large numbers is concerning but this is kind of what we expected to happen and it's kind of mirroring what happened in china because if you remember if you caution my back to the beginning of january there was just a handful of cases in will have which were linked to a seafood market and within a month those handful of cases that turned into thousands of people every single day so from very small acorns big oak trees can grow and that's sort of what we expect with the source of outbreaks because you get a small number of people who start the fire burning and then it spreads quite rapidly this is quite infectious disease everyone is potentially susceptible to it because it's never circulated before so very quickly with an infectious illness that can spread via the air you're going to get big numbers and that's what we're seeing there's no way that we can stop this and the reason that i say that is that it's with an infectious outbreak in a major center like which has been very closely linked to many other cities by air travel people moving over land etc and then subsequently evidence of spread in other geographies is obvious that this is already spreading outside china we've got an infectious entity so we know this is going to it's only going to get bigger so i'm not surprised by this there's no way we're going to be able to completely stop this and put the lid on it because too many people have had it and it's gone too far but what we should be putting the emphasis on is the control of the rate at which is bret's because that is something we can do something about south sudan's president salva care has formed a new coalition government with opposition they don't read myself as a sworn in as vice president the former rivals will lead the government in an attempt to end years of conflict which has killed but $400000.00 people they're expected to guard the country to elections within the next 3 years and that morgan has more from to the. let's remember 1st of all that this transitional government has been sworn in just under an hour ago has been formed after 9 months of delay so people are looking up to the government to see what kind of change they can bring and we've seen this in the newly sworn in vice president's office in the direct machar and the country's president holding several meetings over the past few days saying clearly that there are still a lot of outstanding issues the most prominent being the issues of security arrangements but they said that after the swearing in and after the formation of the transitional government and appointment of cabinet ministers and they will tackle those issues so people on the streets and country wide are looking to this government to solve the issue of the economy that i was facing high inflation as a result of the years of conflict in the country there's also the issue of the humanitarian crisis more than half of the country's called 1000000 population are in need of food aid to survive so these are the things or rather the challenges that this transitional government will have to tackle in the coming 3 years before they go on to elections the number one guarantee has to be basically the goodwill of the 2 sides if you're looking at what kind of pressure. transitional government has just been for and will have to be spending to make sure that they implement the deal that has been a theme that we can look at what happened over the past 2 weeks that led to this government being formed on the 22nd of february which was the final deadline that was had by the working parties you've seen the u.s. imposing sanctions within the e.u. imposing sanctions loss of harsh words language coming from regional and international partners saying that if no transitional government is formed if the peace is not abided by if the details of the agreement that has been signed is not implemented then there will be no support for this government so most of the pressure that will force the were inside which are now effectively partners in government to implement the deal comes from what has happened over the past few weeks and there are concerns that if any part of the. implemented on time without any kind of delays a $15.00 basically does not follow his part of the agreement then the international committee basically implement impose more sanctions and that is something none of the war and for the opposition i want to see happening in the coming years. president. says he plans to hold a summit on syria with

nevada that state's diverse population could reveal which candidate appeals to voters among minority communities tens of thousands of people participated in early voting suggesting a record voter turnout is expected let's go now to rob reynolds who's in nevada rob given everything that we just mentioned there this is an interesting one to watch tell us who is out in front. yes extremely interesting race to watch right now bernie sanders has by most of the polling in this state a gotten a wide lead his next. second 2nd place opponent is former vice president joe biden but that could be shifting. this is the cafeteria here and it like to welcome you kim and our viewers to sierra vista high school in the cafeteria home of the mountain lions where people are now setting up for the caucuses which will begin shortly what is a caucus ok instead of a straight primary vote where you just vote for one person in a caucus you rank your preferences 12 and 3 and then if in each individual caucus which consists of a fairly small number of a few dozen people if one candidate doesn't get a sufficient number reach a certain threshold that candidate is declared not viable and then the. opposing candidates backers try to convince and coax the people who are. who are supporting the non-viable candidate to join them so there's a lot of sort of wild west horse trading that goes on then there is some fairly complicated math that goes on we the caucus officials insight leaders factor in all of those early voting. caucus holders caucus attendees voters that you mentioned kim and then they will phone in all of this information to headquarters unlike iowa which as you might recall was a big meltdown in terms of the results there's no app here there's a minimum amount of technology in fact at the last minute the nevada democratic party decided that they would just use paper and pencil and phone in. all the results to a central. headquarters now as we mentioned bernie sanders is i'm hot on top so this is really a battle for 2nd place if joe biden manages to win 2nd place he will have some strong headwinds tailwinds and advantages going into the next contest which is in south carolina which is joe biden's fire wall if on the other hand elizabeth warren manages to edge out biden for 2nd place she might be in a good position to have a strong showing in the super tuesday primary which happens early in march and that's with big states like california texas north carolina and massachusetts lots of delegates at stake there so this this primary caucus rather here in nevada could set the stage for the next couple of. contests and it's also important to mention as you touched upon that this is a state unlike iowa unlike new hampshire which are virtually all white states. with an elderly population this is a state that looks a lot more like the united states as a whole in fact that the demographic racial makeup here of whites african-americans latinos. asian americans and pacific islanders is what the united states will look like at mid century in 2050 so this is almost a glimpse into the future of the u.s. electorate so we'll be getting results as the day goes on how fast those results come in whether they'll be any. 'd foods we don't know yet but we'll keep on top of it for you jim thanks for that that's rob randall's there live from the home of the mountain lions in the vada. bill schneider is a political analyst and he joins us now live from washington d.c. to talk about nevada a little bit more crystal she will never run it as we've been saying is one of the most diverse states explain to our view is why it's important for these contenders and how you think it's going to go. well the nevada is more diverse certainly than i win new hampshire doesn't have a huge population of african-americans that will come a week from now in south carolina but it does have a sizeable minority of latino hispanic voters and this is the 1st state the 1st primary well they'll show where they will show up in numbers bernie sanders is expected to win here he's fairly popular among latino voters and other voters in nevada he's also a strong trade unionist and there are a lot of union members in nevada although the major union did not endorse bernie sanders because they did differ with his health care plan so there's still some drama going on there it will be a boost to sanders if he wins the data going into south carolina where joe biden is expected to win right now the race has come down to 2 candidates sanders and not senators the question is who's the not sanders is it biden is it mayor pete booted ish of south bend indiana is it amy holmes sure there are number of candidates trying to become the alternative to bernie sanders which the party establishment desperately thinks they need because they don't think sanders can beat donald trump big news in the past 24 hours that sanders was briefed that ross it was apparently trying to help his campaign do you think this news will work for or against him how do you think it will affect things in nevada. i think his supporters basically don't care they just think it's soviet it's russian interference in the campaign but it's pretty clear what the russians are trying to do the russians want to get president trump reelected and that's what they're concentrating on they're not only doing things to help the truck campaign they're helping the bernie sanders campaign why because he is widely acknowledged among political insiders to be the candidate who is likely to be weakest against donald trump in other words if sanders becomes the democratic nominee as the russians are trying to promote he'll probably lose and that's what the russians want they want trump to remain president abu point so will the democratic nominee field be narrowed down to waiting until signatures that what point will we start seeing people dropping out. probably not to have to super tuesday which is only 2 weeks away they're going to try to hold on until then because the do the margin look you have 2 kinds of voters in the democratic party very committed liberals who seem to have gathered behind bernie sanders not who is a bit worn bernie sanders is their guy their candidate and you have moderate democrats joe biden be brutish and maybe probably sharyn some others but there is no consensus about who the alternative to sanders should be you know what happiness in politics is a divided opposition and that's the problem for the anti sanders democrats right now they're divided among several candidates and they can't seem to settle on one alternative really good to hear your analysis as always that's folks neither political analyst live from washington. still ahead on al-jazeera voting is closed in tokyo where the

department sans attorney general in the middle of a growing disputes over the handling of the trial of president donald trump's long time advisory board to stone the federal judge's association is meeting to discuss concerns about allegations of intervention by the president sent attorney general william barr in a politically sensitive cases and donald trump has been tweeting about this saying these were move their prosecutions and the whole move our investigation was illegally set up based on a phony and snow for the discredited fake dossier lying and forging documents to the pfizer courts and many other things everything having to do with this forged loans investigation is badly tainted and in my opinion should be thrown out it's even with those statements of congress that he did not see me to become the f.b.i. director again has been proven false the whole deal was a total scam if i wasn't president i'd be seeing everyone all over the place well let's get more on this former white house correspondent kimberly hauck is live for us in washington d.c. kimberly how unusual is it to see judges weighing in on a case that doesn't involve them. yeah this is pretty unusual and that's why it's making headlines we're watching very carefully for this meeting of the executive committee of the judges association typically they had met in the spring but they said they accelerated this or having a conference call to discuss what they see as the sort of increasing pattern of the president to weigh in on politically sensitive cases as you point out the most recent case the is one involving his son rather his friend and ally roger stone but there's also alarm that has been coming from justice department officials former justice department officials this comes on the heels of 2000 of them essentially calling for the resignation of william barr the attorney general what the feeling is is that this is a sort of pattern that of weighing in on cases the pattern of pretentiously sort of recommending things that would benefit the president's friends is sort of counter to the whole concept of equal justice under the law as mandated by the u.s. constitution. can be as we mentioned there the president has been weighing in on twitter threatening to sue everyone over the police why is this so important to him . this is important for a number of reasons but primarily this is about loyalty the president has said from the beginning that he expected the outmost of loyalty from his attorney general he felt that the role of the attorney general which is the top lawyer in the united states heading the justice department is to protect the president and his policies the president has said this is something that he believes the former attorney general eric holder did for barack obama during his presidency as he was furious with his own attorney general former attorney general jeff sessions that he were accused himself from the moller probe into whether or not * there was collusion between terms presidential campaign and russia so when he put in william barr the current attorney general he expected this and he's feeling sensually frustrated that he's not seeing the loyalty that he demanded the other issue in all of this is that roger stone is a friend of the president so for the president donald trump is personal he's been weighing in as you pointed out twitter watching very carefully in the coming hours to see if he has more to say as he departs the white house to head to california for fundraising ok kimberly holcomb there joining us

government restricting movement in big cities like saw and date. of the presidential elections underway in togo it's expected to extend the decades long political dynasty of the president's family after 15 years in power file nothing day is likely to secure a 4th term he succeeded his late father who led the 38 years after he seized power in a coup is correspondent he's live in the table is capital lome a is a any chance then that the people of loam a 3 and a half 1000000 of them of togo will vote out the nothing bad in a city. who will do. it will change from the next 3 hours to determine so this is we're talking about a political establishment a dinner she's just been in power for more than half a century and they have the structures on the ground and they're also capitalizing on the inability of the opposition to present a cult trying to challenge the leadership of the current. ruling class in total so basically it's it's going to be difficult for these opposition groups big . you have 6 candidates all vying for the same obvious apart from the president himself so it's going to be a very tough. a tough tough job for them to to unseat the president looking at the resources is just looking at the bus network of the ruling political party and how they're democrats. in your sin bed in a city hasn't changed since or in its time in the politics and social economic life of this small west african country and so given that given the kind of hold that the family has ever the politics of the country will many of the syrian a half $1000010.00 killings that bother to turn out to the. well the turnout here is a bit. significant we've been here since 6 o'clock local time which is 6 o'clock g.m.t. and we saw the enthusiasm on the part of the people however that doesn't mean that all of them will be voting the president all of them will be voting the opposition already there are feelings of disenchantment among the populace we spoke to a 1st time voter supposedly of western hotel somebody who registered to vote for the 1st time and she told us she's not going to vote because she believes that there is nothing nothing is going to change she believes that the same thing will happen over and over again but she's telling us she is only ready to vote when things when she's certain things will change all right basically people are coming out but there are also people were not coming out to vote today her right on the day just. thanking. the democratic potential presidential contender bernie sanders has hold russia to stay out of the november u.s. election he was responding to reports that the kremlin was meddling to boost his campaign as well as president trump's campaign sarah highroad reports. accusations of russian meddling in the us presidential election in 2016 have resurfaced this time for the upcoming 2020 election last week senior u.s. intelligence officials briefed congress the latest security threats to the u.s. government and warns of russian interference to try to boost president donald trump's campaign we've already won the state trump has always denied kremlin interference and continued to do so in friday's last pit stop probably in western u.s. you see i see these phoneys these the do nothing democrats they said today that wants to be sure that trump gets elected here we go. here we go again did you see it still are people born i was told that was happening as i was told a week ago they said you know they're trying to start a rumor it's just information that's the only thing they're good at showing. seems russia isn't only targeting trump on friday the washington post paper reported russian efforts to help the new saunders with his presidential campaign to the democratic front runner later confirmed through ports is that he had been briefed on this and announced any efforts to sabotage american democracy it was like clear what role they're going to play we were told it was should they be other countries are going to get involved in this campaign. and look here is the message to russia stay out of american elections and what they are doing by the world the ugly thing that they are doing. and i've seen some of the you know. if they try to divide us up one it remains unclear if and how russia is attempting to manipulate the u.s. presidential race moscow has denied the allegations. more paranoid announcements which to our great will multiply as we get closer to the election naturally they have nothing to do with the truth. these developments come just ahead of a crucial democratic votes in the u.s. states of nevada i think all alike officials regardless of party should be concerned about this because this is a threat to our democracy and who we are as americans intelligence officials warn russia could be wanting to throw the integrity of the 2020 lection in doubt and chances of winning a 2nd term. every duction in violence agreement between the afghan taliban and the united states has begun also in jordan has more now from washington d.c. on the terms of the week long polls. the big question is what is that standard of measurement we don't know the pentagon won't say the state department won't say afghan officials won't say what the standard is for a reduction in violence that basically leaves it open to any of the parties involved in this stoppage as it were the united states the taliban or the afghan military to say that someone is complying with the terms of this 7 day pause and so there should be no signing of an agreement and doha come february 29th it's a real question because this is perhaps the 1st real test of trust between the parties in this case the u.s. and the talabani with alp that trust it is of fair to say that trying to get the taliban to been sitting down with representatives of the afghan government or of the afghan people as they would prefer it's going to be very difficult to have those discussions actually take place so that an eventual peace accord can be reached within the afghan body politic the u.n. says fighting in northern syria could end in a bloodbath some of the latest sas strikes in italy a province have targeted the sound of saddam in close to the front lines russian backed government forces steadily regaining territory in the last rebel held province techies and russia to rein

human suffering goes worse an estimated 2800000 people in austria syria required humanitarian assistance. earlier these months we saw 3 would need to lead 280-0000 people displaced by the recent and ongoing violence now something much greater is required it's we are you vising our plans and issued an urgent appeal to donors for the additional $500000000.00 us dollars to cover the needs of did you really displaced people over the next 6 months they are being counted after friday's parliamentary election in iran the results expected to change the legislature because thousands of moderate or reformist candidates were barred from taking part i said bay group or south from tehran. he said it's a religious jew to vote and iran's supreme leader didn't lead by example casting the 1st ballot and $7.00 to $1.00 rick conservatives have much of their support base they followed suit run down by the hour show that. this is the 1st time i'm voting my reason to vote is to have a share in the future of my country and help it right. voting doesn't solve any problems and conditions could deteriorate if we don't vote we should vote for the way in this so the new lawmakers can fix some problems. this 88 year old says he has been voting for 17 years has been adding value in trouble i have voted from the very 1st election in the islamic republic 81 parliamentarian toughing disqualified from standing of the reformist hopefuls also told they cannot stand ins elections it means conservatives could benefit from a lower turnout and lack of opposition and this will have also referred cautions for you when a foreign policy and i think this will bring more support from the parliament's side for ukraine and regional policies but more importantly it will decrease the chances for the life the hood of any direct negotiations between the rand and the united states there are those who have stayed away upset at a lack of change and an economy reeling under us sanctions are solomon right. i voted every year but i saw no effect to convince me to vote this time i finish my studies i have a bachelors and finish ministry service but there's no job for me for what i see no reason to want. not have been and i know i'm not voting because previous lawmakers did nothing they had no effect in the country so i didn't vote told it's not me alone many to vote. results are expected later in the week. at this polling station where we have permission to film it's been relatively busy but the others across the city that were quiet but we weren't allowed to film a lower turnout will leave whoever wins this election with the task of rebuilding confidence and trust in the system i said big al jazeera. the murder of a 7 year old girl in mexico has increased outrage at vallance against women across the country home and reports one of the latest protests demanding government action for better protection. the chanting no. women who've taken over this toll booth on the outskirts of mexico city to protest against years of femicide this was an. attack there's so much violence i don't know any woman who hasn't suffered and here on the outskirts be difficult and here's why they come to free the body. more than 10 women are killed every day across the country and it's getting worse in 2090 the number was double but 4 years previously . but this month issue came to a

on how iran is reacting to the outbreak. the government has been announcing some measures to deal with this virus now we know that all cultural events concerts including film screenings have been canceled from tomorrow in the cities of iraq the schools are closed for a week the religious schools in calm where the health ministry thinks that this virus started from again closed tomorrow now on state t.v. they've been showing videos on how to wear the face masks properly and how people can wash their hands properly but there are 28 cases 10 you cases 8 in the city of 2 here in iran and we have had 5 deaths and now iraq has also suspended flights between the 2 countries iran has closed its land borders between the 2 countries and that's only been only open for a week after they have been closed for 4 months because of the insecurity in the protests that were taking pace in iraq iran doesn't think it was safe for the pilgrims to travel but now again those borders are closed we know that kuwait has suspended flights between the 2 countries now there is concern out on the streets of that ron we saw people wearing masks resort people question the government's account and also asking how many people actually affected they don't really trust the government and partly due to when that ukrainian airliner was shut down the government spent 3 days deny again people are suspicious but yes the schools are closed the cemeteries are closed concerts film screenings everything has been closed now to stop large numbers of people congregating so the south sudan's president salva care has formed a new coalition government with the opposition a direct mashal who's been sworn in as vice president of all rivals will lead the government to in an attempt to end years of conflict which is killed about 400000 people they're expected to guide the country into elections within the next 3 years have a morgan has more from juba. let's remember 1st of all that this transitional government has been sworn in just under an hour ago has been formed after 9 months of delay so people are looking up to this government to see what kind of change they can bring and we've seen this in the newly sworn in vice for vice president offered to me to recommend char and the country's president salva kiir holding several meetings over the past 2 days both saying clearly that there are still a lot of outstanding issues the most prominent being the issues of security arrangements but they said that after the swearing in and after the formation of the transitional government and appointment of cabinet ministers and they will tackle those issues so people on the streets and country wide are looking to this government to solve the issue of the economy how could i was facing high inflation as a result of the years of conflict in the country there's also the issue of the humanitarian crisis more than half of the country's really in population are in need of food aid to survive so these are the things or rather the challenges that this transitional government will have to tackle in the coming 3 years before they go on to elections the number one guarantee has to be basically the goodwill of the 2 sides but if you're looking at what kind of pressure this transitional government has just been sworn in will have to be spending to make sure that they implement the deal that has been coming to 18 then we can look at what happened over the past 2 weeks that led to this government being formed on the 22nd of february which was the final deadline that was had by the working parties you've seen the u.s. imposing sanctions we've seen the e.u. imposing sanctions law so harsh words and language coming from regional and international partners saying that it's no transitional government is formed if the peace is not abided by if the details of the agreement that has been signed is not implemented then there will be no support for this government so most of the pressure that will force the were inside which are now effectively partners in government to implement the deal comes from what has happened over the past few weeks and there are concerns that if any part of the deal is not. implemented on time were there any kind of delays a 15 basically does not follow his part of the agreement then. basically implement more sanctions and that is something none of the more and 5 are the opposition 5 i want to see happening in the coming year and still ahead on al-jazeera closed the president's expected to expand his family's 53 year long rep on power. as the race for the democratic presidential nomination shifts to nevada away look at how candidates are trying to appeal to my knowledge. hello again has been a lot of snow in turkey in the last 36 hours or so and the same system which you can see is natural clouds moving eastwards is tail end of course tends to produce the optically pleasant weather in the hard ground in northern syria and northern iraq and it follows on with showers jimi speaking of the levant the heading more free gypped than they are further east to be honest the cloud is clearing through and things are that you could argue improving 16 rocca and 27 in baghdad there's no significant wind further south so it's warming up in the arabian peninsula as well and throughout iran but when you see a line of cloud like they always think are asking to develop into showers and this one does as well say the golden society and iraq there are showers as there are in western iraq this is all monday again society is to war with a southerly breeze which tends to be a fairly dusty one and in contrast to that where you know it's happening in the east and it's so this way for the satellite picture forecasts it's a northerly breeze it's not very warm in eastern libya north me just not compared with the average and that breeze is quite strong as to how much snow as it turns in science is this hour into the sahara so the countries from chad west which was quite strong breeze tend to see dusty weather at this time of the year dusty and dry throughout most of north africa. frank assessments the one good thing about these bush

disease is spelling more trouble for a nation that's reeling under u.s. sanctions because of its nuclear program chad blank is a former state department official who was responsible for the overseeing of the implementation of the iran nuclear deal all the way thank you very much for your time since the u.s. pulled out of the deal of easy these sanctions are in place how is that going to affect iran's ability to deal with the corona virus outbreak do you think. well i think it's important to start by saying that corrupt autocratic governments are poor at dealing with public health emergencies and so the most important problems iran will face and is already facing dealing with the current virus are internal to iran now that said it obviously complicates the picture that the united states has imposed these very severe sanctions and that despite the fact that there are legal cargo carve outs for medical exports to iran the trump administration has made a point of making those carve outs as inaccessible as possible and so as a result you've got a paucity of medicines including medicines for the kinds of immunocompromised people who might be miscible of this children and cancer patients except for you have shortages of public health supplies and there are no really accessible financial channels to increasing the exports of the essential goods to iran and so the united states engines are not the cause of whatever outbreak might be coming they're not even the cause of iran's problem in dealing with it but they are a confounding factor we have heard conflicting numbers out of iran officially we're hearing that 6 people have died from the virus an m.p. says the number is higher more like 50 do you think that if we continue to see these numbers rise and rise and rise that perhaps the u.s. might make it easier. for these cob out says you say as you call them to be accessible. well i think that the point that you've just made about the differing numbers coming out of different branches of the iranian government goes exactly to the underlying problem it's the transparency of an autocratic government is really a bigger issue than the sanctions now that said will the trumpet ministration make these carve outs more accessible i can only hope so it's hard to guess with the current administration what will cause them to react but i would hope that especially as our european partners are rightly concerned about the possible spread of this virus as close as they are to iran they'll be putting more pressure on washington to build a genuinely effective workaround to allow essentially unlimited medical exports to iran which is actually what the law permits i think that that starts blank there live from washington d.c. . u.n. sponsored talks

actual cease fire has been agreed according to the u.n. envoy gas and salami the next stage is for wider political talks starting a wednesday but will they go ahead i try to get clarification at a news conference from surat she's foreign minister do you think it's now likely or unlikely or do you think they will happen or people spawn political talks what's your thought as we stand now up to my knowledge that's a sense i am is insisting that it happens and when izzie why some of the even the last invited they believe it's very short time they have to prepare this amp so i'm not sure is there any word from u.n. envoy salami himself well he hasn't spoken to the media since giving an al-jazeera interview on friday we believe that the libyan case is difficult but we don't believe it's a

additionally that he has become a political prisoner in this country and that the u.s. he's determined to extradite him to the u.s. to get even. and the solution i think must be political. and this is
