Lost now the threat bush fires raging in australia will get even worse. Libyas internationally recognized government has approved the tree deal with turkey paving the way for ankara to play a bigger role in the civil war the agreement could see turkish troops deployed to defend aaa from warlords only for half the egypt backs huffed and rejects the deal saying it violates Un Security Council resolutions including an arms embargo or a chance has more. Libyas warring forces are on the move here soldiers of highly for have to Libyan NationalArmy Advanced west there are breaking now and hoping to open a new front for months theyve been fighting on the outskirts of tripoli against the army of the government of National Accord on thursday the u. N. Backed announced its agreed to receive greater military help from turkey but that. After after an as an office site is receiving support from home this is known to all whites or 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 corporation. 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 u. N. Recognizes the government of National Accord based in tripoli its supported by turkey and many western powers including italy and in the east theres the tub or a base government the center of power for warlords Khalifa Haftar and his Libyan National army hes backed by saudi arabia egypt and the United Arab Emirates france is also accused of providing military support russians because of fighting alongside half this troops William Lawrence is a professor at George Washington universitys Elliott School of International Affairs he explains why so he has offered 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 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 or we 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 is going to give up any time 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. Lebanons president has asked an academic to form the new government as india is backed by hezbollah and its allies the abbe emerged as a candidate when outgoing Prime Ministers saddle had really withdrew on wednesday but already there are protests against his nomination as Tony Berkeley 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 you will have no new deal of unease and if it should focus on preventing the collapse of restoring confidence and safeguarding National Unity by consolidating bridges of understanding between all of unease people political and security stability is a priority today and it is a cornerstone for the protection of their country 5 years ago mr diaz 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 over hold 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 this country and doesnt belong to all sectarian regime. And the idea is that even 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 must also juggle the interests of outside powers such as iran syria the us and israel which have all played a part in the countrys political instability. I was after mr diablo accepted the nomination people will 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 has and the ad 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 3 aljazeera beirut. Chinas president is in the semi autonomous city of macau a territory beijing is hailed as a model of its one country 2 systems policy unlike hong kong macao is seen few protests despise introduced security laws that have proven nonpopular neighboring region she jinping is expected to reward the city with all the seized help diversify its gambling dependency call me friday marks the 20th anniversary of my towels with chinese rule difficult pollack joins us now live from the council the message from she was very much one of continue continuing compliance with beijings influence right. That he was very flattering about my cow in the way the city was run he said my cows patriotism underscores the reason the city is so successful he said that he praised the hop for being one of the safest cities in the world to which you rationally express their opinion that would be seen as a rebuke to words hong kong he also said the people of my cow make their need to make their positive voices heard once again another message song calling and if you mentioned there we havent seen the kind of protests that have been happening in hong kong and macau in macau in fact has been taking great pains to try and make sure that things this is here run smoothly with that ahead so theyve taken and credible measures for security persecutor to lock down for the 1st time ever we had for the 1st time since i have been traveling to this former portuguese enclave in the past few decades that with the increased security tests x. Ray we were questioned at the border there were x. Ray machines for all our equipment thats never happened before people have been turned away in fact the head of the credit to to attend this is. Inauguration the. New chief executive role also turned away citing a Security Risk for the city and even prior to that American Chamber of commerce the Business People were also turned away so how wanted to make sure that this trip was going to be incredibly successful chief for teaching praying and praying in return made sure that macau knew that it was very important to beijing highlighting the fact that which runs on that the one country 2 systems same as hong kong where it has more autonomy and more freedom than the rest of china. She wanted to make sure that it showed hong kong and the rest of the world that this was a successful model that one country 2 systems framework. Winehouse weve all seen the sort of public reaction towards beijing since well as we have done in hong kong is it all down to demographics. Looks i mean macau it was a portuguese colony for far longer than hong kong was ever a colony for about 400 years but it was administered very differently so once my car was handed back to china or back to yeah exactly how did back to try and they there was less resistance to implementing chinese rules and in fact a lot of the chinese principles had already been implemented here but also bearing in mind that more than half of my cows population thats not a big populations but 620000 people but more than half of my house population why the born in Mainland China or emigrated from Mainland China and in addition to that trying thats been very generous in giving macau financial incentives particularly the chief speech this time and also the cows economy which is based around this casino economy where most of the visitors come from Mainland China. Well still ahead ill just 0 Democratic Candidates make their case for Party Nomination to take on donald trump in next years election. A gunman opens fire outside the headquarters of the Russian Security services have reports from moscow. While i was writing to launch from the levant to afghanistan or snowed in the last 3 or 4 days its not quite this is the back edge of it but isto still to come through for the afghan mountains otherwise look back to the east and thats nothing in the sky in the forecast reflects that it stopped cold no particularly warm does get chilly at night admittedly but its sunny by day so when i was in the dry and lonely drying up in syria and iraq so nothing much changes here but if you follow things science was the show has started to blow now and once that blows it stays fairly cold on the east and saudi particularly bahrain qatar and the u. A. E. Doesnt tend to do much more than just make it feel particularly warm in the moon thats the case next 2 days no shower scene very lucky and not very much in the way of cloud and its dry its rock but in star city occasional showers trying to build inside and thats still the case but on the whole think of it as dry and not very warm. This is where the rain should be and as an arc still from angola the comes out somewhere in tanzania we have seen action to the south but as you can see on friday beyond the fact the temperature quite reasonable to nothing much happening in the sky the sun develop the potential showers in east and south africa and the suturing south today and in western botswana. The weather sponsored by catalona this. Week stories generate thousands of headlines these protests are saying down with the system and down with all of the parts with different angles from different perspectives just because we came to prison doesnt mean rights stopped at the gate separate the spin from the fact the western media jumps on stories we dont taking down the misinformation from the journalism its about telling the stories of those human beings i think with the listening post on aljazeera. Welcome back youre watching out 0 time to recap our headlines libyas un recognized government has approved a military deal with turkey which could see turkish troops deployed to defend tripoli from war mostly from egypt back its rejecting the agreement. Lebanons president michel aoun has a formal Education Minister to be the new Prime Minister. Backed by hezbollah protesters are rejecting nominations.

Senate a day off to being impeached but House Speaker nancy pelosi says she wont send the case until she knows how the proceedings will be managed in the Republican Controlled SenateSenate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is already asked father republicans to correct what the whole world toxic impeachment. Opposition to impeachment was bipartisan only one part of one faction wanted this outcome the house of conduct risk deeply damaging the institutions of American Government this particular house of representatives has left its partisan rage at this particular president great a toxic new precedent that will echo well into the future. Democratic president ial candidates have been facing off in los angeles and their 6th primary debates all 7 candidates have been trying to convince voters that best suited to take home dolls from next years elections. Rob rounds is at the debate venue in Los Angeles Rob hows it looking. Well sammy the scrum of humanity you see behind me is called the spin room this is a tradition in american politics where just after a debate the candidates and their surrogates run out to where the press is standing and try to convince convince the reporters that their guy or woman did better than everybody else so we are not spinning right now but i do have an expert guest privilege to introduce to you michael genevese professor of Political Science here at Loyola Marymount university in the author of dozens of books on politics including one on how President Trump governs professor genevese whats your main takeaway here what i thought all of the candidates did a better job than they have in the 1st 2 debates i think its partly a function of experience and nervous but its also a function of them finding their voice their mark articulating their positions much more clearly and forcefully and with only 7 on the stage rather than 10 or 11 get more of a chance to really make an impact so i think in general everyone did better than they have in the past now this comes 24 hours after impeachment of President Trump but i notice that the many of the candidates rhetoric about the president didnt really change very much it seems like impeachment hasnt really changed much about the democratic race and i think theyre being cautious because theyre not sure how impeachment will play out nationally will people turn against the president will they go to the president and so basically its. A cautious kind of move they dont want to get too far out in front of Public Opinion and so i think rather than do that they go to the old stock lines there are plenty of stock lines to use and they they pulled almost all fun out tonight now. Former Vice President joe biden hes had some pretty wobbly performances in previous debates how do you think he did tonight joe biden had a lot to prove he was wobbly as you said he was unconvincing he would make several mistakes and people were just beginning to wonder does he have it thats in the previous debates reviews 2 debates tonight he was strong he was on his game he had some very strong lines i think he did the best hes done and i think he recruited a lot that he had been losing over the 1st 2 debates so that means biden maintains his front runner status in the National Polls most likely right i would think that hell stay maybe even gain a point or 2. You might see blue judge moving a little bit because many of the guns were pointed him tonight hes the sort of down 4th in the process hes not. In the senate it is now the experience i think they were trying to to kind of theyre threatened by him partly because in iowa the 1st caucus which will be in early february hes very well organized he has a great ground game and they fear that he will finish 1st or 2nd so they want to knock him off his block early before he gets a chance to prove in iowa that hes a real player so you did see for example with warren clashing with who to judge over issues including the Campaign Finance whats the most important thing on voters minds democratic voters that is clearly get rid of trump thats the number 123 and 7 type 7 issues they also of course have issues on the homelessness on Climate Change on Economic Justice but nothing nothing comes close to their determination to get rid of donald trump professor genovese and well leave it there thank you very much sir. Appreciate it ok well there you have a good analysis of tonights debate the spinning continues to be spun back there and we will have more coverage of the democratic debate and the democratic race is time goes on so i mean thanks so much from now at least 3 protesters have been shot and killed in india during confrontations with police nationwide rallies against a new citizenship law went ahead despite a government ban hundreds of people were detained and more makes it easier for non muslims from 3 vaporing countries to get indian citizenship protesters say it goes against indias secular constitution.
