The end of next year for governments in and after years of tough often acrimonious negotiations it is possible that 2020 will see britains exit from the European Union become law but dont expect that to be the end of the briggss pain through here in brussels due renewal to inside e. U. Institutions new commission president. Says shes keen to preserve good relations with the United Kingdom in negotiations to come over the future relationship but ill you interests will always come 1st and i think the danger in terms of relations is that again things get pretty tense between the 2 sides with the pressure from the u. K. Side to get things done very quickly and then you side saying thats just not feasible unless youre willing to you know do things our way Prime Minister johnson insists a trade deal can and must be struck by the end of 2020 with no extension here in brussels you know people who are veterans of this kind of process with other countries you know say it takes much longer a year of more negotiating redlined rhetoric and brinkmanship lies ahead. Back in london the prospect that by next december britain once again risks reaching no deal with the e. U. The one thing that we do know about prime is. That. Manifest. Approaches but the other thing we know for. Is it can be flexible when he sees a deal in sight breaks it promises broken ultimatums reversed the undeliverable delivered in 2020 then expect the unexpected. 0 london. So lets take it back to the Turkish Parliament where m. P. s are voting on this government motion to deploy troops to libya this is a big vote in the Turkish Parliament were still waiting on m. P. s to vote on this motion theyve been talking now for some hours or so but were waiting on that result. Was life for us in. The parliament set to vote on this motion mohamed its likely to be approved i was in it. Thats how its looking down and the governing party has the numbers to say and the more who together with its affiliates to of course but there was strong opposition from members of parliament particularly from the main opposition. Fee which is hard to argue that techies should not rush into getting. Sucked into what these calls are. Acquired umask equired my excuse me. Is the libyan crisis is saying that turkey is yet to recover from military interventions in neighboring syria and it should really think hard about that diplomatic avenues of ending the war rather than deploying turkish troops the 31 of the opposition parties which us but the 6 members in parliament also argued that the foreign minister met with children show who did not. Give them a response to their concerns about the safety of turkeys troops if they are deployed for that reason they will be voting against but by and large this is a motion that these experts that the sail through anonymous just remind our viewers what exactly are turkeys interests in libya that is so desperate to protect. Well there is so much at play here he has got to pick and not only in syria but also in the mediterranean where just weeks ago we find an agreement to time bound to be agreement which sought to give different line in the. 4. Part of the Mediterranean Sea thats a very long line. On the mediterranean and it has been sort of in a. Minute 3 countries like mohamed let me just let me just interrupt you there were just hearing mohammed were just hearing that the motion has actually been passed so as expected the vote has been approved by the Turkish Parliament you said the government would see through the day they had the numbers that motion has been passed so what does this now mean muhammad. One of the men we just thought motto is high and before you see. Boots on the ground in these mens that president add on to show up support for the government of National Accord which is the un. The un recognized the government in tripoli is now going to get to port what the government in tripoli had requested for was not only just a minute here to trade most of that indicate that alia book also troops to give them a blocking that they need against all small clue for how to who is supported by countries in the. Countries in the proper because that is. The countries the us probably one of them and wrong so this is definitely something about its going to come out of the good news to the government in tripoli or its im out of the in just talking us through that vote in the Turkish Parliament that will allow deployment of troops to libya lets bring in our senior political analyst marvin bush he joins us live in the studio. This is just now happened in the Turkish Parliament we saw it come through the building allows for the deployment of noncombatants staf to advise u. N. But governments of put this into context for us how significant is that and what does it actually mean in terms of boots on the ground. Its been expected but it is still significant but significant because once a country like turkey a rising Regional Power. Historic Regional Power throws its weight behind the government in tripoli that means the dynamics on the ground will change for sure and change in favor of the government in tripoli and against the warlord huffed but as you were saying earlier as you insinuated earlier what we have here is a vote in principle by the parliament and the end of the day this is a democracy where the parliament will vote in on a on such an important matter but operationally speaking this would be up to the government to see how this is operated on what time scale on what schedule and so on so forth but what we know for sure is that the intention behind the decision to intervene in libya is not to escalate the war that its actually the contrary this is one of those interventions that is meant to put an end to the attack on tripoli because tripoli has been under attack now for what 6 months and what this is meant to do is to make sure a warlord not so different from the all dick a dictator womble of gadhafi you know will go on by military means and by regional alliances and all over tripoli as the u. N. Special envoy to libya said and this is an understatement after is anything but a democrat. Well thats an interesting point because you know i suppose there is the question will a turkish deployment hold the gains already made by it. Because as you say and its remind our viewers have to us forces already knocking on the door of tripoli so i mean is this all too little too late like the that the cynicism of the International Community silence in syria and the cynicism of the International Community and again to remind our. Viewers are in the world is that this is a whole so all the whole mess in libya started when various western nations intervened in libya and others by the way in order to in order to prevent a major massacre by the old regime against his people that the regime actually threatened to do but as ex or former president obama said the west did not carry its responsibilities in libya meaning it went in there it unseated a ruler and then allowed the country to descend into a civil war so that those nations that intervened were supposed to see through the peace and they didnt and hence weve had a broken country now a failed state of some nature for several years and because of the cynicism of certain regional players and mediterranean players like the United Arab Emirates saudi arabia egypt anothers weve seen the warlord being prepped up with logistics and arms and so on so forth hence allowing him to control 80 percent of libya 80 percent or so so just talk us through the changing dynamic on the ground in ma one because as you say we have these various International Players like saudi arabia the u. A. E. France egypt need an e. Q. Theyre all vying for a piece of the pie trying to expand their influence so what happens now what lets say clearly for the turks since were talking about turkey for the turks its to stop the the momentum of hafter to stop the momentum of a warlord that wants take over the country in order to facilitate. A Peace Process of sorts now lets remind our viewers around the world that the special envoy to libya has already devised a 3 point plan a 3 point plan that 1st of all seize a cease fire followed by a conference in berlin where all the stakeholders come in together and try to reach some sort of an understanding or things go. To again to rome in a mind our viewers around the world there wasnt a deal reached in morocco 40 years ago that basically has all the blueprints over for a future peaceful libya except that the warlord have to did not abide by it over and thats very interesting because you know there is this question as why has it been almost impossible to build bridges between the government in tripoli in the west and have to us forces in the east you know whats stopping them and the competing International Stakeholders who you just you just talked about whats stopping them from coming together to to get some kind of Peace Agreement wasnt so difficult theres 2 to expression of that one of course theres the local power struggle and while ive been talking a lot about the warlord Khalifa Haftar that is attacking from the east from benghazi thats all admit that also in tripoli and around tripoli things are not all rosy or peachy that we have different fighting groups within western libya as well so tripoli is not under one unified command those various fighting militias are on tripoli as well so theres an issue of power struggle within the country. More importantly or nor less importantly regionally somewhere between the differences between rome and paris and between uncut and cairo meant that there are these competing influences in libya and what we all hope for i think the turks and everyone else hopefully in the International Media hope for is that instead of making sure everyone leaves libya because apparently thats not working Everyone Wants to have an influence in libya instead of them making them leave now with the momentum should be to ask everyone that is involved in libya to come to berlin and to try to reach a settlement so to use the influence that they have on the libyan parties in order to facilitate a solution let me just ask a final question here because it involves geopolitics which is what were talking about here it also involves turkey to a huge degree this new east med energy deal thats been signed today between israel greece and cyprus but how much does this then go against turkeys ambitions with its gas deal with the u. N. But government in libya because in a broader sense this is all about geopolitics and influence isnt it absolutely and so i knew one who is now was going to sell the turkish decision as some kind of an altruistic. Decision in order to help the people of libya of course should think again in terms of geopolitics so what we do here is very simple and we are the best at this on Al Jazeera English is we need to widen the lens so instead of just looking not only at benghazi and tripoli here why didnt your lens and suddenly you what you have is competing interest certain geopolitical interests and cannot make enters geo Energy Interests in the Eastern Mediterranean where by greece israel in egypt are basically taking control of our. Raj swath of the mediterranean where apparently according to one survey there is 100000000000 barrels of oil and 102. Really and cubic meter of gas so this thing does all smelled stinks of gas but it certainly as we spoke earlier stinks of geopolitics my one great analysis good to have it good to have your thoughts my when i was. Talking but for now lets move on to some other news shall we because a group founded by a former member of the u. S. Special forces is training people from ethnic minorities in myanmar i say theyre being persecuted by the military the training involves medical and humanitarian assistance or been money has more on this remote hilltop base more than 180 recruits complete basic training with the free Burma Rangers or f. B. I. They say there are humanitarian Movement Working to help free the oppressed in myanmar. Gem one is from the Northern Shan State where he says ethnic groups is suffering at the hands of the countrys military. There are many human rights abuses people got raped and tortured its happening to us and many ethnic groups in myanmar i think men and women take part in Fitness Drills and training scenarios to deliver aid and treat civilians wounded in areas of conflict these people come from the states of catchin schon and rocky and where there are fragile cease fires and sporadic fighting the f. B. I. Is privately funded and was founded 25 years ago by former u. S. Special forces member and past david events and he wants me amas government to be held to account shelling a displacing villagers thats attempted murder and is some cases of murder and burning their homes so thats another war crime many here are members of ethnic armed groups who say they helping to protect ethnic groups from the countrys army. But according to local media myanmars Army Brigadier general del minturn says the group is not to be trusted and could be escalating the conflict he says the militants and according to information he received theyre asked to attack outposts as a way of testing their training and from the United States republican congressman Ralph Abraham is visiting the group as part of the fact finding trip to me i must act like regions we are america hopefully have the backs of the people here that want democracy they want their freedom and i want their independence and my job is to care that my to back to the states the u. N. General assembly has condemned human rights abuses against her head to muslims and other minorities in myanmar the country is also facing a charge of genocide to the International Court of justice the military myanmar is. Probably just nationalist into divisions over loyd against their will he judge that they have been responsible will boost of the walk again. In order to keep those same divisions of no be deployed against other minorities away from the accusations between the f. B. I. And the and us military these people say this Training Camp is the 1st charge to unite minorities who say theyre being persecuted nor about unmanly aljazeera trying his new president got to buy a rajapakse is facing deep distrust among the tamil minority the countrys north where most of them live is in dire need of investment rajapaksa was defense secretary during the final days of the civil war in which tens of thousands of tunnels are estimated have been killed. By reports now from an elf. Temple fishermen return with a catch to sri lankas north shuls its been 10 years since the nice 3 decade long war between the tunnel tiger rebels and the Sri Lankan Government ended. Government promises of investment but failed to materialize life for these men is exceptionally hot. And the man they say must do more to help sri lankas new president is deeply distrusted him. From the majority Sinhalese Community whose defense secretary joining the last stages of the war both sides were accused of committing war crimes its estimated that tens of thousands of time will civilians could have been killed in the final days of fighting. And tunnels voted overwhelmingly against rajapaksa or in the november election and i trying to come to terms with the result and. We are on so she can see dozens but i think we must accept him as a leader of this country things have to change with the times. Has the highest concentration of the countrys 2500000 tonne of minority but theres been little investment here Northern District to the smallest contributor to sri lankas economy around 4 percent of g. D. P. Unemployment is 15 percent in some areas almost 10 percent higher than the south. For president Mahinda Rajapaksa promised investment and infrastructure is a means of helping reconciliation efforts his brother the countrys new leader is promising more of the same but im least say there is going to take a lot more than money to forge trust and agreement over a potential loss to political solution. A new railway and road linking the peninsula with the mainland have been built but few of the estimated half a 1000000 people who fled abroad during the fighting and could help rebuild the economy have returned. Around 20000 others mostly tamils are still missing and their families say enough is enough support is given to those still traumatized by the war economy. Says between different. Minds between people from different parts of the country or between different communities different ballgame successive governments have refused to implement devolution of power with respect to policing and land rights as a specified in the countrys constitution its really important that any government that comes to poly including this one if they want to build trust that they ensure that Development Comes with devolution rather give the. Development for the local population for many of sri lankas tunnels remain fearful of the countrys new leader a man they blame for much of their suffering in the past. But al jazeera model northern sri lanka now the daughter of angolas former president has denied allegations of corruption after a court throws her Bank Accounts and honest and estimated a 1000000000. 00 worth of assets has been seized as part of an Anti Corruption drive by the angolan government isabel doesnt tell us says the accusations are politically motivated and that she has not been summoned by any court now if we talk about the land the lips and windmills holland or the netherlands springs to mind but from now on the government wants to rebrand itself and be known only as the netherlands aljazeera has been a smith reports now from amsterdam. Poland hes not a country despite suggestions to the contrary all over Amsterdam North and South Holland are just 2 coastal provinces in a country called the netherlands and the government tired of its biggest city being a by word for legalized prostitution and recreational drug use wants a rebrand. So with a new p. R. Push its asking us to forget holland and the goalie of the netherlands before the whole rest of the world i think holland is quite clear what it is some small spot somewhere on the earth. Where people live. And to change that image around to change that. Idea of holland into the netherlands i think its quite a task its quite a difficult task. Everywhere you look from branded clocks to other souvenirs the name holland dominates its no surprise tourists arent sure where they are what would you call this country. Thing. What do you call this country were in now. That. You are right. Then and basie bassy yes. It was ok yes i mean this is just states the netherlands is the country today officially they want you to stop calling at all and they want to call it the netherlands. In amsterdam theyre struggling to cope with a wreck or number of tourists 42000000 people are expected to visit this country by 2030 thats up from around 20000000 now and to manage that the government hopes that this rebranding will encourage people to explore outside overcrowded amsterdam to the country beyond the 2 provinces of holland. In the netherlands now were getting reports from eastern kenya that 3 people were killed when a suspected group fired at a bus and he said dozens of passengers were on the bus when it was attacked and many fled into nearby bush is Security Forces have been deployed to lamu county to pursue the attack as the bus was traveling from mombasa to. And just a quick reminder about that breaking news out of turkey its parliament has now approved the deployment of turkish troops to libya and chris says it wants to intervene to help the u. N. Batt government in tripoli to fight warlord honey for have to us forces his troops launch an offensive to capture the capital lost. All right thats it for me daryn jordan but more of the days news after the break stay with us thanks so much buddy. Theres a wave of sentiment around the world where people actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries and i think often peoples voices are not good because theyre just not part of the mainstream news narrative. Obviously we cover big stories and we report on the big events going on but we also tell the stories of people who dont have a voice and then when i was a child my doubts never be afraid to put your hand up and ask a question and i think thats what out of syria really does the os the questions to people who should be accountable and also if we get people to give whats going on. In slate in the british jones of india. Explores how Satellite Technology is now helping to set them free. We need to stand the differences on the semantics of cultures across the line so no matter what you see weve been using conduct for that matter. This is al jazeera. Away from doha everyone im Kemal Santa Maria and this is the news hour from aljazeera Turkeys Parliament approves sending troops to libya to help the u. S.
