army in the presence of the several libyan delegations representatives of the libyan society is the first time in this format. all of the leaders. don't acknowledge each other mutually met and agreed to work together and together . approved a joint declaration and it is a new fight instead but an important one which makes possible what is about to come to happen is the first time that. we have. gathered members of the international community under the umbrella of the united nations that have the need to know the libyan situation and neighboring countries african countries you know you. middle east countries european countries regional organization permanent members of the u.n. security council all of the countries which sometimes we need to say that over the last few years and tried. to pull strings behind the scenes by playing one against the other by feeding on the divisions and even the stabilizer it's destabilization have agreed to work together and express their support. for this work conducted by the libyans to carry committed over this road map and a joint declaration is the

how can the libyans set aside those differences. ok let's let let's remember what that our sense of them said in his briefing two weeks ago he told the security council to important things that amending the political agreement between the house of representatives in the east and the high state council and the west is dead that process is dead i participated in all the attempts in tunisia and we didn't get to any agreement the second thing he said that in his next briefing which would be in july he will let the council know whether we're going to go to a referendum on the constitution and then elections or we're going to go to some type of election presidential and or parliamentary elections. this meeting in paris we're going to go to elections so there's nothing really new about this the only thing is that the censored imus said in july he's going to let the security council know which way he's going to go this declaration says answered by september the these parties will decide how they're going to hold these elections and hopefull

the libyan leader gave up his nuclear weapons programme.sed to help him against his opponents. the same month, mr belhaj, who had fought against gaddafi, was detained by the cia in asia based on a british tip—off. he and his wife were flown to libya. she was soon released, but he says he was then tortured over six years by colonel gaddafi's regime and also interrogated by british officials. after gaddafi's fall in 2011, letters from mi6 to libyan officials were discovered detailing britain's involvement. six years ago, mr belhaj launched a legal action against the british government, mark allen, an mi6 officer named in the files and jack straw, who was foreign secretary at the time. today, jack straw acknowledged he had given verbal approval for some intelligence to be shared, but says he had always acted lawfully. whether he was fully briefed by mi6 remains unclear. outside parliament, lawyers who had worked with the family described the day as a victory for everyone who opposes injustice, secret detention and torture. the uk lost its way

mr mccone says that there is a need for unifying libyan institutions and at the same time he brings in aggy. and his chief of staff as two separate. delegations each would over thirteen members and their interest and you're talking about unifying the legal institutions i see your point rhino the french president among women cronies clearly trying to inject new momentum into the french foreign policy by trying to bring all the parties a libya to go shoot a settlement does he have the stature the leverage to convince key which are not players who have been meddling into the affairs of libya. to that maddening. i think that. he had. the statue said that very very hardworking knowledgeable intelligent well respected man in the in iraq and even in the u.s. and even in russia the problem is that it's that of a difficult tough let's see if you have a phone since and that requires the fishes. to not difficult for you to make it's tissue soup from this acquired but if you want to trust for all the fish soup into and that cryo it will be much more difficult for you and it's exactly what happened

you know this this will only end like the libyan model ended if kim jong un doesn't make a deal then people saw that as a threat well i think it's more of a fact a fact well the fact yesterday's cancellation apparently caught a lot of people off guard the spokesman for south korea's president mungy n. told reporters for we are attempting to make sense of what precisely president trump means and apparently the white house was also betting on a go for the june summit commemorative coins of the june you see it right there of the june peace summit with profiles of trumping him have already been minted no summit but a souvenir of the say we have more tonight on today's severe trump reversed based on the recent statement of north korea. decided to terminate the planned summit in singapore in june twelfth. well many things can happen and a great opportunity lies ahead potentially i believe that this is a tremendous setback. for north korea and it did a setback for the world. before this address trump informed the world and north korea's leadership of his decision in a letter quite unusual f

the libyan program was much smaller, but that was basically the agreement that we made. >> the libyan model isn't a model that we have at all when we're thinking of north korea. in libya we decimated that country. that country was decimated. there was no deal to keep gadhafi. the libyan model that was mentioned was a much different deal. this would be with kim jong-un, something where he'd be there. he'd be in his country. he'd be running his country. his country would be very rich. his people are tremendously industrious. >> some talk about the libyan model last week. >> right. >> and, you know, as the president made clear, you know, this -- this will only end like the libyan model ended if kim jong-un doesn't make a deal. >> i mean, honestly, there seem to be a lot of mixed messages there. can you forgive north korea for not quite understanding what the administration is saying? do you understand what it's saying? >> i think, you know, often, really what i think is diplomatic mistake by mentioning libya model, because it is a complicated model. there is a denuclearization part, whic

the british government apologises for its role in the detention and torture of a libyan man and his wifer theirforced return to tripoli. ahead of national elections in iraq, we have a special report from mosul, former stronghold of the islamic state group. and, the mountains of abandoned hire bikes springing up across china as commuters switch to cycle sharing apps. hello. a date has been set for the historic summit between president trump and the north korean leader, kim jong—un. the two men will meet on the 12th ofjune, in singapore. just before that announcement, the us president welcomed home three americans who'd been detained in north korea — their release apparently a gesture of goodwill ahead of the summit. this from the bbc‘s nick bryant in washington. it is full speed ahead in negotiating a new nuclear deal with north korea and after alienating close european allies, his administration is forging an improbable relationship with one of america's long—standing enemies. in the middle of the night, before the birds or the president had started tweeting, the plane carrying the freed

well that's right and what we've heard after this meeting here in paris is the the four main rival libyan leaders that were invited to attend this conference have signed an agreement to come up with a constitutional framework by september and then set a date for elections december the tenth we are told that they would like libyans to go to the polls now there was a lot of back slapping a lot of kind words as a man or mark or said that this was an historic moment the fact that these leaders are come together and agreed was something of a first and also that these leaders were joined by not only presented some international organizations such as yours united nations but also by representatives of nearly twenty countries a man all mark home saying that it was very important that those countries that have often been very divided and serve their own interests in libya or here in paris or new committed to try and change the situation to try to bring some form of stability to the country so yes as you alluded to there are loads and loads of countries that have interests vested in libya but what

>> well, you know, i think bringing up the libyan model, if you look at the libyan model constructedh's administration, it was successful. then gadhafi met his end. so the unease i do understand. perhaps bringing up the libyan model was not a wise thing in the long run but the first part of the libyan model was working. gadhafi gave up his nuclear preparations. and because he didn't want to see what would happen next. so now it's a big guess on how this works out in korea. but i am still hopeful we find a way to denuclearize that peninsula without war. south korea is so prosperous. they've got such a work ethic and educational foundation. they've sent at least 8 million south koreans to the united states for education. that whole country has been rebuilt in the last 60, 70 years. that same thing could be in store for north korea if we could just get past kim jong un. >> let's see what happens. lots of uncertainty right now. let's turn to another issue close to your heart, the issue of immigration. you've been proposing actual legislation that would jail officials in what are called s

the libyan model that was mentioned was a much different deal. this would be with kim jong-un and he would be there in be running his country. his country would be very rich. his people are tremendously industrious. if you look at south korea, this would be a south korean model in terms of their industry and in terms of what they do. the hard-working incredible people. but the libyan model was a much different model. we decimated that country. we never did said to gaddafi we are going to give you protection. we are going to give you military straps. we went in and decimated him. we did the same thing with iraq. have, ior not we should could tell you i was against it from the beginning because look what we have right now. we spent $7 trillion, can you believe that? $7 trillion in the middle east. write out the window. you might as well throw the money right out the window. we have done a lot of infrastructure, we just had airports approved. you saw a lot of things happening. but we spent $7 trillion in the middle east. look where we are. it is pre

security advisor john bolton said that libya could be a model for a north korean nuclear deal the libyan model in some circles you may recall is considered proof that dictators fearful of regime change should never give up their nuclear weapons which could offer you did in two thousand and three take a listen now to trump and his vice president well the libyan model isn't a model that we have at all. well we're thinking of north korea in libya we decimated that country that country was decimated this would be with kim jong learn something where he'd be there he'd be in his country it be running his country his country would be very rich you know there was some talk about the libyan ma it last week and. you know as the president made clear well i think it's more of a fact a fact well the fact yesterday's cancellation apparently caught a lot of people off guard the spokesman for south korea's president mungy in told reporters for we are attempting to make sense of what precisely president trump means and apparently the white house was also betting on a go for the june summit commemorative

there are differences, the libyan model was much smaller. >> the libyan model isn't a model that we havet all when we're thinking of north decreea. in liba we decimated that country. that country was decimated. there was no deal to keep qadhafi. the libyan model that was mentioned was a much different deal. >> let's bring in paula hancocks live from seoul. clearly, we know these remarks from bolton really angered the north koreans. where do we stand now? >> well, christine, at this point, as far as we know, the summit is being planned as expected, but certainly the north koreans were annoyed by those libya comments. the fact is even though john bolton was talking about something different than what the u.s. president was talking about when it comes to libya, for the north koreans that, is one in the same thing, when they've been talking consistently over recent years, saying that they didn't want to be a libya, they didn't want to be an iraq, they are talking about how the ending came for the leaders of those countries. so for them it's one in the same. we do have some information just c

the libyan model that was mentioned was a much different deal. this would be with kim john united states he'd be there in his country, running his country. we never said to gadhafi, oh, we're going to give you protection queer going to give you military strength. we went in and decimated him. >> all right the libyan leader was overthrown a somebody member of national security and staff. jamie it doesn't seem as if he understood are what his national security adviser was talking about when gadhafi gave up num cheer capabilities for basically nothing. >> he didn't have much. he gave it away and trade it for some kind of economic reform. we have a president entirely ahistoric am as if the united states is starting from scratch. without that historical basis, we say why not? and we're stumbling into this very dangerous vision. they never said they're going to do it. because president trump isn't grounded in any kind of historic am realities, he's able to einvent new realities as he goes along this made occupy history the realities of the worlds that

and libyans themselves have not fully agreed on what is the best roadmap for the political future of the country and finally then cloudy i mean how much leverage does does france actually have macro dizzee have the influence that can fool some sort of deal at this summit in paris in the will then be implemented on the ground in libya. well there are two problems here first of all who's there who is represented there in paris we only have four delegations of the four important political and military personalities. the head of the presidency council general house the head of the libyan national army that controls most of eastern libya the head of the parliament in tobruk and khaled michiru the head of the state council in tripoli while these people are important and their respective institutions are important they do not capture the entirety of the very fragmented libyan political and military scene and you have important constituencies that are not represented there so even if these four actors that are there in paris do sign up to a deal and we are very much hoping that this is mainl

was a prominent anti gadhafi dissident and a leading member of an anti gadaffi militia called the libyan islamic fighting group. g. that was why he fled libya back in two thousand and one just a little more information about this group the ally f. g. it was operated from one thousand nine hundred five to last year it was considered an al qaeda affiliate and it staged three attempts to assassinate gadhafi the group's been regarded as a terrorist group both by the u.k. government and the us government up until it disbanded last year nevertheless despite this relatively dubious checkered past bell haulage and his wife have been on a quest for an apology from the british government ever since he was released from prison and documents were discovered after the fall of the gadhafi government that linked the kidnapping of belle harbor and his wife to m i six two british m i six agents she was four months pregnant at the time this happened it was back in two thousand and four in thailand cia and m i six agents kidnapped the two and handed them back to the gadhafi government where claims that he

held a meeting like this last year i should say in july and at that time he invited the two main libyan leaders the main rivals the u.n. backed prime minister fires also raj and the renegade command. who's based in the east of libya he got them around the table but many people said that that meeting was an representatives because it left out many other parts had going to around the table who were who were simply not included so that's why the french president this time has decided to widen this meeting he's invited all the libyan leaders as well as representatives from the united nations various international organizations and nineteen countries who are in some way linked to libya now of the united nations has in fact been trying to put a process very much like this in place since last year is working hard on march but french diplomat say this isn't about trying to undermine that process but it's actually about trying to support it so like you're saying this is not the first time that france takes such an initiative when it comes to solving the libyan crisis why is france doing so and w

the libyan model that was mentioned was a much different deal.jong—un, something where where he would be leading his country, running his country. his country would be rich. his people are incredibly industrious. if you look at south korea, this would be really a south korean model in terms of industry, in terms of what they do. they are hard—working, incredible people. but the libyan model was a much different model. we decimated that country. we never said to gaddafi, "0h, we are going to give you protection, we are going to give you military strength, we're going to give you all these things." we went in and decimated him. the model, if you look at that model with gaddafi, that was a total decimation. we went in there to beat him. now, that model would take place if we don't make a deal, most likely, but, if we make a deal, i think kimjong—un and is going to be very, very happy. donald trump van. the world health organization will convene an emergency committee on friday to consider the international risks of an ebola outbreak in the democrati

this will only like the libyan model ended if kim jong un doesn't make a deal some people saw that as a threat well i think it's more of a fact referring to libya let's remind ourselves what happened to libyan leader colonel gadhafi in return for economic aid and sanctions really he agreed to abandon his nuclear ambitions back in two thousand and three but within a few years he was overthrown and killed as a result of a nato led bombing campaign this is being somewhat of a warning to p.r. and in fact it's not the first time washington is drawing a parallel between kim and gadhafi yeah i think that's what denuclearization means and we have very much in mind the libya model from two thousand and three two thousand and four the model if you look at that model with gadhafi that was a total decimation we went in there to be to know that model would take place if we don't make a deal most likely it's not just this threatening rhetoric that's jeopardizing progress in the negotiations with north korea another spoke in the whale was the u.s. and south korea moving forward with a military trail

this will only and like the libyan model ended if kim jong un doesn't make a deal. the british government is blamed for a lock of action almost a year old from the grand fell fire a public inquiry is only now getting on the way into why seventy two people lost their lives in the london tower. i don't think they're doing enough but that awful lot of government haven't done enough not nearly enough no that's not even close i can see. your churning in from right around the globe this hour welcome to moscow onto our to international my names you general our top story it's turning into a spring of discontent in france with fresh protests in part against president mccrone social and economic reforms turning violent charlotte earlier witnessed how a peaceful rally descended in a matter of minutes. the people feel that this is that the only option right now to come out to the streets a voice that can see and as you can probably see behind me the crowd is swelling here and this is just one of the rounder. hundred and thirteen demonstrations taking place across france well th

but the libyan model was a much different model. we decimated that country.e are going to give you protection, we are going to give you protection, we are going to give you protection, we are going to give you military strength, all these things. we went in and decimated him. the model, if you look at that model with gaddafi, that was a total decimation. we went in there to beat him. now come on that model would take place if we don't make a deal, most likely, but, if we make a deal, i think kim jong—un and is going to be very, very happy. president trump being optimistic. the world health organisation will convene an emergency committee on friday to consider the international risks of an ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo. it was first reported in the rural bikoro region nine days ago. the situation's now worsened because some of the latest cases have been reported in the city of bandha—ka. rahuljoglekar has more. the spread of the virus is being monitored closely and personally by officials from the un in bikoro hospital's isolation ward. we

the british intelligence service m i six over suspicions they were linked to al qaeda through the libyan islamic fighting group which was rebelling against gadhafi but ten years on in the same british government was helping bring gadhafi down and in the rubble of tripoli the files emerged detailing the relationship between m i six the american cia and libyan intelligence. it took a full six years for the u.k. authorities to accept his argument he had asked for nothing except an apology. you know when we do funny today the british government has acknowledged and apologized for the suffering of my wife and myself years ago i thank them for this brave step . the british government has learned a lesson from this and i hope other governments around the world will learn it as well. and outside the u.k. parliament. held up the letter from the british prime minister offering the total apology for what they've done the u.k. lost its way when it got mixed up in the rendition of an innocent pregnant woman and an anti kadafi dissident but today i think it stood on the right side of history by recogn

daily life for libyans is increasingly difficult. people are tired of the situation, and want to see some agreement. people find it difficult to know who to trust. there are rival governments in tripoli in the west and the east of libya. many complicated slender groups and armed factions. there is a fatigue in politics. we will have to wait and see whether this new push can inspire people enough to get on vote, andsign up to whether they would trust the results of those elections. there is a lot riding on this, but it is a huge challenge. be checking in with you through the day at the elise a presidential palace. with me on the set is robert parsons. talk to us a bit more about the role of france in all of this. why hasn't stepped to the forefront in this particular conflict in libya? what does it need to make happen for things to change there? robert: it is a good question. many said there was no need for france to get involved at this stage. weretalians in particular concerned last year when france intoed the rival leaders this mee

kim and gadhafi yeah i think that's what denuclearization means and we have very much in mind the libyan model from two thousand and three two thousand and four the model if you look at that model with gadhafi that was a total decimation we went in there to beat him now that model would take place if we don't make a deal most likely it's not just this threatening rhetoric that's jeopardizing progress. in the negotiations with north korea another spoke in the whale was the u.s. and south korea moving forward with a military trail at north korea's doorstep since then north korea has threatened to call off the summit many observers are asking questions on why they would need to provoke after we saw that historic meeting between the leaders of the north and south last month for many that was the sign of a big change coming the white house military office even produced a special queen ahead of trump's planned meeting with kim it shows the two leaders smiling at one another and describes the meeting as peace talks but with such an unpredictable man in the oval office who can get their hopes up
