Powers johnsonville of us has the plans as the u. K. Is a reelected Prime Minister. Libyas internationally recognized government has approved a military did with turkey or paving the way for to play a bigger role in the civil war the agreement could see turkish troops deployed to defend tripoli from Khalifa Haftar egypt which backs half that has rejected the deal saying it violates Un Security Council resolutions including an arms embargo rory chalons has more. Libyas warring forces are on the move here soldiers have to Libyan NationalArmy Advanced west they were breaking out and hoping to open a new front its for months theyve been fighting on the outskirts of tripoli against the army of the government of National Accord on thursday the un backed g. And i announced its agreed to receive greater military help from turkey. After iran is an awful site is receiving support from whom this is known to all by so raj with his lawful and legitimate government and not receiving any support currently based on us why decide and provide them with the assistance we can afford. This is a proxy conflict that splits the middle east and north africa and beyond the u. A. E. Saudi arabia egypt and russia have all given greater or lesser assistance to have to but if we have to or might topple the government of National Accord has spurred turkey into overt action for turkey their interest is not libya itself anybody who looks at a map of the mediterranean will see that egypt to turkey south south cyprus greece and potentially libya if it falls on the half that and therefore goes into the u. A. E. Or bit is forming a sort of maritime choke hold on to turkey for taking libya is the final chance to prevent this chokehold from taking place although libyas g. N. A. T. Has ratified the security and military cooperation deal it struck with turkey last month its not immediately clear what kind of military support turkey might offer libya or when but it reinforces turkeys role in influencing libyas future like with syria russia and turkey have taken different sides increasing their diplomatic leverage and cooperation. We russia by the way are in permanent contact with mr seraphinas government with marshall have to we continuously communicate with our partners including those in turkey in europe in other countries in our opinion the best solution would be to find compromise between the 2 sides of the conflict. At the u. N. Aljazeera asked the secretary general spokesman for his take on turkeys military assistance i think the secretary general a couple times yesterday was very clear in his expression and frankly of his i would say is frustration at the situation in libya of the constant flouting by various Member States of the arms embargo and of the continued fighting that were seeing in and around tripoli and other places in the country but theyre fighting certainly isnt over yet marie chalons aljazeera. Libya is divided between 2 competing governments the un recognizes the government of National Accord based in tripoli its supported by turkey and many western powers including italy and in the eightys theyve made to brooke based government thats the center of power for warlords really for half the and his Libyan National army hes backed by saudi arabia egypt and the United Arab Emirates and france is also accused of providing military support russians life as a fighting alongside half the troops well it william laws is a professor at George Washington universitys at the at school of International Affairs and hicks plains wide tookie has offered its support. Turkey sees itself as the champion of the arab spring and what is left from the arab spring it has this geo political struggle going on with us in egypt and others and it would like also to support of the Muslim Brotherhood where its under attack now the Muslim Brotherhood is much weaker in libya than in some of the neighboring states but its a part of the coalition of the west and of course we have solid on both sides of the struggle but but turkey definitely wants the western government to hang on. Remains to be seen whether turkish troops will be sent but the troops are less important right now what the western government needs is technology and arms theyre not lacking from in power as much as theyre lacking for arms it needs more help in the air war would have to really has an advantage and it needs to make symbolic gains spoil the whole the western Libyan Alliance together and to demonstrate to the International Community that the west isnt going to give up anytime soon turkey is really the only country that standing up against the eastern government which is backed by a number of countries the latest u. N. Expert panel report that came out in early december as i think officially being released this week cites particularly u. A. E. Jordan turkey as the biggest violators of the arms embargo but there are number of their countries russia sudan chad and others who are supporting have to are in turkey is really the only country thats been systematically supporting the west obviously the italians are helping in small ways and the americans are working with the west on counterterrorism but the west needs both symbolically and in terms of arms all the help it can get. Moving on to other news now and lebanons president has asked an academic to form the new Government House on the others backed by hezbollah and its allies he emerged as a candidate for an outgoing Prime Minister saturday with a draw on wednesday but already there are protests against his nomination as tony brooklier reports from beirut. 24 hours ago he wasnt even in the running but on thursday last sunday ab was appointed lebanons new Prime Minister and given the difficult task of leading the country out of its worst political crisis in decades and youre live in a new deal of unease if it should focus on preventing the collapse of restoring confidence and safeguarding National Unity by consolidating bridges of understanding between all lebanese people political and security stability is a priority today and it is a cornerstone for the protection of their country 5 years ago mr de Service Education minister in a cats government now hes promised to be a Unifying Force and has asked the country to bury its divisions and give him a chance not everyone is prepared to do that many see him as part of the old political order they want overhauled they want someone that resent us you know and as. Our guys say is not related to anyone from all the parties and all the politicians in this country and doesnt belong to the whole sectarian. And the idea is that weve been 60 days on the streets and our demands are very clear. Lebanon has suffered from nearly 2 months of often violent and disruptive street protests over government corruption spiraling inflation and a dire Economic Situation but there are those who believe mr can succeed look now and lebanon is suffering serious military and economic pressures and risks a social explosion the current social revolution may lead to insecurity and instability and we all have to help the app is a technocrat and specialist and everyone should understand that the former University Professor was not elected unanimously the large influential sunny bloc led by the former Prime Minister saad hariri did not support mr diablo or nominate its own candidate he was backed by the predominately shiite Hezbollah Alliance the media in israel has already described mr diablo as hezbollahs man. And this shows that as well as dealing with lebanons pressing domestic issues he was also juggle the interests of outside powers such as a rand syria the u. S. And israel which have all played a part in the countrys political instability. I was after mr diablo accepted the nomination of people who are still out protesting although in fewer numbers but in sunny areas of beirut and lebanon the 2nd largest city tripoli there were reports of roads being blocked and tires being burned mr diablo begin talking to all parties this weekend but its clear that not Everyone Wants to listen. Theres still a lot of talking to be done before hasnt he is able to head a new government and that process can still take months but the question is how will his nomination translate for the lebanese people and will it be enough to stop the violence and the demonstrations tony burke free aljazeera beirut. Now just one day after the impeachment of u. S. President donald trump divisions between the democrats and republicans again in focus Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell has asked fellow republicans to correct what he calls a talks a complete bit of trouble meanwhile House Speaker nancy pelosi says she wont send the case to the senate until shes convinced of a fair trial she had her tonsils reports. Yes. The democrats werent unanimous in a petri donald trump 3 voted against it and one jeffrey drew of new jersey is now going to join the Republican Party the president expressed his defiance after meeting at the white house it doesnt feel like impeachment and you know what its a phony deal and they cheapen the word impeach its an ugly word but they cheapen the word impeachment. That should never again happen to another president we think that. What they did is wrong we think that what they did is unconstitutional. Earlier the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell attacked wednesdays vote in the house of representatives to impeach the president as the fulfillment of a long held Democratic Party plan to overturn the results of the 2016 election. Vote yesterday was not some neutral judgment that democrats came to with great reluctance it was the predetermined. Of a partisan crusade that began before president trouble is even nominated let alone for now mcconnell has already said that he will take his cues from the white house as he oversees a senate trial for the president the democrats happy leader mcconnell claimed the impeachment was motivated by partisan rage this from the man who said proudly i am not impartial i have no intention to be impartial at all in the trial of President Trump what hypocrisy immediately after wednesdays vote nancy pelosi refused to commit to sending the articles of impeachment to the senate for consideration some democrats have argued no trial should take place unless there are guarantees of fairness however on thursday police seem to be speaking in terms of when a trial would occur and not if a trial would take place and next thing. We see the passion. And then well know the number. That we may have to go forward thats what you suggest. But we like to see a fair process but well see what they have and well be ready for whatever gets the democrats want to be able to call witnesses as they make their case in the Senate Mcconnell has said he wants as swift a proceeding as possible the House Democrats making that case and the white house making its defense only then will witnesses be considered Congress Begins its christmas recess this week the entire month of january has been set aside in the senate for impeachment proceedings but as of now its unclear when the trial will occur or times the aljazeera washington. And a 6th democratic president ial debates just began 7 candidates and squaring off to convince margins that they are best suited to take on President Trump and next years election lets bring our cost onto drop vinyls hes joining us from outside the debate in los angeles so how prominent in the impeachment of President Trump liking to be in this debate rob. Well it really is the cloud that overshadows the entire debate isnt it i would be very surprised but that the candidates will be discussing it very early in the debate and they will each be trying to use the impeachment of president from to their own advantage as they see the democratic nomination now all of the candidates who are on stage have approved of impeachment and they also approve of. The removal of the president from office and actually 3 of them are senators Bernie Sanders lives with warren and amy put a judge excuse me excuse me sorry amy club which are i apologize for the slip of the tongue there would be. Because they are senators they would be sitting in the trial of President Trump if it does come to that. The candidates seem to fall into 2 camps on this the more left wing including warren and sanders see trumps impeachment and trumps presidency as a manifestation of something thats more deeply wrong in the United States the triumph of money in politics the ascendancy of billionaires and corporations in power whereas the more centrist the candidates including judge the indiana mayor and former Vice President joe biden see this as an opportunity for a candidate who will try to unite a badly divided badly polarized country booted. Judge tweeted to that effect saying he is the person to do that and earlier former Vice President biden reminded his supporters in an email that it was President Trumps pressure on the iranian president to investigate biden that started the whole thing a biden said that shows how much trump is afraid of him being the nominee.

K. s Prime Minister bob johnson has put brechts at the heart of his new governments agenda and as as custom versions Queen Elizabeth read out a list of proposed laws in the ceremonial opening of parliament the speech also outlined plans to guarantee funding for the National Health service and introduce a new immigration system paul brennan reports from london. Black rod banging on the door of the Commons Boris johnson knocking on the door of his brecks it destiny the Prime Minister looked visibly excited next to a stony faced Opposition LeaderJeremy Corbyn as the 2 men made their way through to the upper house to hear the queen read out johnsons program of reforms among a raft of new legislation there is a singular priority my governments priority is to deliver the united kingdoms departure from the European Union on the 31st of january of the 25 new bills listed in the speech 7 are related to delivering breck says but the government intends to make the most of its 80 seat majority there will be the deepest review of britains Security Defense and Foreign Policy since the end of the cold war the official secrets act and the laws on treason will be reviewed and the government will establish a constitution democracy and Human Rights Commission to look at the very nature of how british democracy operates it is a radical program.

For the time being though Boris Johnson is on a high fresh from a resoundingly lecture when equipped with a big stable parliamentary majority there is little to stand in his way for since the last queens speech back in october was also quite ambitious but there was no chance of ever being able to deliver a new policy that was more of a kind of shop window for the forthcoming Election Campaign as it was that whereas now there is a sense that at least at least in terms of the palm entry arithmetic she can actually deliver these policies right the pace of lawmaking will be hectic there is a lot of legislation to pass in less than a year to do it e.
