we were expecting the two delllations from tobruk and tripoli to converge on this building you can see behind me to start talks a while ago but the tobruk internationally recognized government hasn't arrived yet. they have said in the last few days that they would like to see some delay because they want further consultations with the government about the details of the political settlement, so expecting them to arrive later in the day and start talks. then the concern is again, is it going to be easy to bring both the tripoli-based government and the tobruk based government to pin down the details of a in my unity government. >> if the two sides can be brought together what are the biggest challenges facing those talks? >> well, they have to agree on a prime minister to run libya for a certain period of time. then they will have to agree to pull out all their militias from the main cities, disband them, set up a new national army that looks after the country and that army has to be mandated and is one of the prerequisites of the international community to fight isil affiliated groups
