in the countries east before a transitional government to a power review this year. german foreign minister, hika must said many challenges still lie ahead in the pursuit for stable libya. that's what i'm mom and then this is the man moma gadhafi, who is brutal rein, kept libya together for 40 years. and 2011 protests against his rule quickly grew into a country wide rebellion. in september 2011 gadhafi was captured and killed by a militia group. the country soon fell into chaos. farm to groups that had been active against his regime refused to disband, and regional rivalry grew elections failed to bring the country together. and soon rival governments were set up in the western and eastern parts of the country. the general national accord in tripoli was recognized by western countries, led by fires, sir rodge, but it had little power over much of the country. the rival government and tow brooke in the east was allied with a faction called the libyan national army, led by strong man kelly for half time. the 2 sides fought and attended multiple piece conferences in europe and continued to fight. meanwhile, people smugglers took advantage of the lawlessness to use libya

the likelihood of blackouts will rise. libya as national government has announced the partial reopening of a road that links the east and west of the country. it was one of the conditions of a sci fi agreement, signed between warring sides and october. 4th is loyal to the warlord leaf. i have to say they weren't consulted and yet to approve the decision. the prime minister insist portions of the road in afghanistan has recorded 92 new corona virus deaths in the last 24 hours the country seeing a huge spike in daily cases and a record number of deaths. the government solved for international health and agencies of warned, the situation is spiraling out of control. alexandra buyers reports in cobble, the lineups for oxygen tanks start in the middle of the night. and last for hours and every person here is desperately trying to save someone. they love children's official journal more than i came here when i am last night, the boy oxygen. because i have a cobit patient at home. i've been waiting on the street since then. i would never have what it's long, but i've already lost family members. luck my out and some other

east. and so there's a lot going on where we can work together with russia. for example, in libya, we should be opening up the, the task to be able to go through and provide, provide food assistance in economic, i mean, vital assistance to a population that's in real trouble. i think i'm going to try very much hard to it is, and by the way, there's places where i shouldn't be starting off and go shooting and public. let me say this way. russia has engaged in activities which are, we believe are contrary to international norms. but they have also bitten off some real problems. they're going to have trouble julie not. and for example, rebuilding of, of syria of, of libya. you know, this is their, their, and as long as they're there without the ability to bring about some order in the region, you can't do that very well without providing for the basic economic needs of people. so i'm hopeful that we can find an accommodation that where we can save the lives of people in, for example, in, in libya, that consistent with the interest of maybe for different reasons, but reach it for the

past, but in conference where france support the east all and but it got been get me and also we had this with europe. supporting tripoli though with libya. this is also changing. we are seeing also in addition a u. s. investment a high level investment on the level of a good span of pacific. definitely seeing some of the nomics. and indeed, i do want to ask you the abraham. because in order for a sustainable piece, which is what this conference is about, a long term solution. libyans themselves need to rebuild their lives. i was looking at the numbers a course, a 1000000 still the space cities are in ruin. and since the start of this pandemic food prices, they have for 12 percent. and i understand that much of that isn't on the agenda. in berlin, so how is that going to be addressed? that's a crucial point in my view. and actually, what makes it even more complicated is that i am not exactly certain how much of a said that believe you have over the faxes and the decision making process in this lean conference. which is actually not much because we, we know that libya as since the, since the doubtful but that dr. gene became a battle gro

east. so there is a lot going on together with russia. for example, in libyassistance to a population thatis vital assistance to a population that is in real trouble. i think i'm going to try very hard... by the way, there are places where i shouldn't be starting off negotiating in public. let me put it this way, russia has engaged in activities which we believe are contrary to international norms, but they have also bitten off some real problems they are going to have trouble chewing on. for example, the rebuilding of syria, of libya. they are there. as long as they are there without the ability to bring about some order in the region, and you can't do that very well without providing the bait mekelle basic economic needs of people, so i'm hopeful that we can try to save the lives of people in for example libya. consistent with the interest, maybe for different reasons, but the same result. maybe for different reasons, but the same result-— same result. vladimir putin said toda , same result. vladimir putin said today. but _ same result. vladimir putin said t

didn't happen, but the agreement this, that libya on the path to resolving its past the decade of violence and chaos. in march, the rival administrations in the east and west of the country agreed to cease fire and formed the unity government and elections are due to be held in december. adam rainy has more of this from berlin. the prominent role that us secretary of state anthony blink, and played at this conference on when fame, berlin shows that present. joe biden has a stronger commitment to libya than its predecessor, former president donald trump. whether or not they're going to back up that commitment with some real strong measures is yet to be seen. but speaking alongside german chancellor anglo merkel, earlier in berlin. this is what the secretary of state had to say about their commitment to libya. we have a responsibility, particularly in this moment to demonstrate that democracies can deliver, deliver in the lives of our people, deliver for people around the world. and there again, the example that the chancellors set, the germany set could not be stronger. and today is a very good example of that with the work that germany has done on

not happen, but the agreement did that, libya and the path to resolving it's passed the decade of violence and chaos. in march, the rival administrations in the east and west of the country agree to cease fire and form the unity government and elections are due to be held in december, adam rainy reports from berlin. the berlin conference was marked by promises to help libya transform into a democratic and stable country. we have a responsibility, particularly in this moment, to demonstrate that democracies can deliver to actually see libya, hopefully taking a course of security freedom, independence, backed by the international community. the conference co hosted by germany and the you in was a follow up to the 1st libby a conference held 18 months ago with a cease fire in place. libby as interim prime minister said the country will hold elections as promised on december 24th. when you sent us one and a half years ago, libya was threatened with collapse. the economy was on the verge of collapse. we saw social tensions and divisions. today we're in a critical phase, but we're also in a very hopeful phase. today, we can speak with a unified voice an

worried it might fall into violence in the middle east but they capitulated and at the request of the us government they took it down in egypt and libyathere was a lot of misinformation like egypt demanded that we were able to find in the case of egypt the government had not asked for this at all and the egyptian government in fact supported television channels and play this video in an effort to rile people up against the us . so this originally the attack on ben ghazi on this video and also to wild stories happened and the thing that gets me is the us government was in turn was thickly encouraging an american company to censor beach for people in another part of the world. again, i'm not giving those much credit here because they do a lot of their own censorship but that really demonstrates the amount of power these companies have in a way that they think. the fact they would align with us state power to censor another people's speech and that happened almost a decade ago i've been watching closely with the rise in the attempts to eradicate terrorism from the internet which is another chapter of the book . class one last question be

countries east before a transitional government took power earlier this year. german foreign minister, hypo mass, said that many challenges still lie ahead in the pursuit for a staple. libya. melinda, this is the man mall marg. adolphe spiritual rain, kept libya together, for, for she is in 2011. protest against his rule quickly grew into a country wide rebellion. in september 2011, gadhafi was captured and killed by militia group. the country soon fell into chaos . farmed groups that had been active against the regime, refused to disband, and regional rivalries grew election failed to bring the country together. and soon rival governments were set up in the western and eastern parts of the country. the general national record and tripoli was recognized by many western countries, lead you as a sub, did have little power over much of the country. the rival government into brook in the east was allied with a faction called libyan national army, led by strong men sunday for the 2 sides and attended multiple piece conferences and europe and continued to fight. meanwhile, people smugglers took advantage of the lawlessness to use libya as a trans route, bringing migrants and re

east, elastic it's been very, very trouble. but what we find is the 4, the 5 least plates, countries in the world actually improved. so we've recently looks like it's been a pe still struck in libya, so hopefully that'll prove it. that'll improve the time as well. nothing. no one would really like the situation which has occurred in libby or the last few years. and why do sir? is there be no improvement in syria given that has defeated isis and very large portions of syria? it seems to have no change in terms of peace notice had not changed ranks but has had an improvement in place on us. the issue is what a napkin understands now, police place will come back 3 years ago. you would have found that syria was the last place for its place has improved in the last 12 months. and we have mentioned that keep going. one of the things you find with an index like this, when you get down to the read disk levels violence, it really stretches that so there's big gaps, the bottom in the intakes between different countries. and so i mentioned earlier on takes time for countries to improve fruit minutes in place of much more gradual deterioration in television media terms. the lack of peace was
