A. Pays its tribute to david stern the man who built the modern game and on the court last years most valuable player gets 2020 off to a flying start for the box. Hello everyone in the past half hour the parliament in ankara has approved a government motion to deploy troops to libya in support of the un recognized administration in tripoli thats been fighting against the war lord Khalifa Haftar remember it was his forces who launched that offensive to capture the capital last april turkey says its troops will protect its. Right in the mediterranean and interests in libya like the deals that anchor in tripoli recently signed on military cooperation and maritime boundaries but there were challenges turkish opposition parties were against the move they say ankara should have 1st given priority to a diplomatic solution so lets start in ankara mohamad jos our correspondent whos been following this one today mohammed take us through the vote how decisive was it. Quire decisive come on 325. 00 members of parliament voted 41184. 00 vaulted against of course it is the vaulting power. And its Affiliate Party the m h b harvin parliament that sold out. More from the sale through parliament the opposition legislators were really hit in their opposition to it saying that turkey should not get sucked into the murky quagmire about the civil war in libya you saying that they cant free is yet to recover from its military interventions in neighboring syria and they have warned. There was a need for diplomatic been used to be pursued fost is that of putting turkish boots on the ground in libya of course and this is something that the Party Leaders are not in listening to they have a poll on and it could be. Of days according to the Defense Ministry which is the defense minister speaking saying that theyre ready to deploy soon as possible so there is some sort of. I mean the whole process was also for struct with d members of parliament been called in from recess a week early so it looks as if turkey is really itching to take its troops to libya and as soon as possible and just turkey get out of this moment i made a reference in the introduction that you shared interests in the region can you give us a little more detail. Well yes turkey has always said that it has a moral responsibility to help its neighbor to the sea to libya. Invitation by the government in tripoli but again. Quick to point out that there are far greater interest at play here and particularly this combo for. Energy resources on the islam part of the Mediterranean Sea which at one point turkey was lagging behind after israel. Cyprus and greece signed an agreement for an exclusive Economic Zone on a pipeline that would ship. Natural gas from the eastern Mediterranean Sea to europe. With that agreement the maritime bone boundary ugly meant that turkey ha signed with libya it gives it a huge illegal way and really increases its chances of also pursuing. Natural resources in the Mediterranean Sea and also makes for the other calm quiet difficult to wish turkey away because it would be controlling a huge part of that is that Mediterranean Sea and particularly because it was a very long coastline on the mediterranean side so. Knowing very well that if he comes to power in tripoli given the advances hes been making in recent days and weeks they no doubt deal will be off the table and that is something turkey is really came to protect and see the continuation of the government of National Accord staying in power in tripoli mounted on korea thank you for all of those details this conflict in libya has many regional powers vying for influence turkey says it can help that u. N. Recognize government in shipley to fight off the war after in his advances remember have to stronghold is in the east into brooke. Over the past few months russia has deployed find his 2 assists half his soldiers the United Arab Emirates egypt saudi Arabia France they have lined up behind huff to the u. S. Publicly supports the government of National Accord in tripoli but President Donald Trump has praised after in the past and qatar also backs the tripoli governments a senior political analyst in the shower with me here now and as i listed off all those countries here it just its just reminding me and mohammed ben the reference as well to syria in the past all these different players who all want their little slice of the action there is an absolutely the problem with it has. Most of them are on the wrong side meaning they claim publicly that they are for the internationally recognized government in tripoli while secretly covertly they are supporting the warlord that is attacking the International Recognized government in tripoli and this is where the paradox lives we have an internationally recognized publicly declared support for the government virtually even countries like france that until today it says we recognize the internationally recognized government in tripoli and yet this seems to be in all ways and means supportive of the drive against tripoli certainly it is the case by the United Arab Emirates and egypt now the question is is the United States because you mentioned the United States back in april but has them from out of nowhere called after this is when he launched the i mean salute a pro in the United States was supposed to be in support of the government tripoli so what happened was sympathies of something very simple happened that they before he was meeting with the egyptian president of the fatah sisi in an hour or 2 before he was talking to the crown prince in abu dhabi or in the United Arab Emirates so clearly the american president was convinced by regional leaders and by his National Security adviser john bolton to support Khalifa Haftar but since then things have changed the United States today is taking a bit more of a. Hands off if you will approach not exactly in support of half that and so now that we have this vote in turkey with the troops will be going and how much of a game changer is that because turkey doesnt go into military action lightly and it is a Strong Military force how much does it change the game in libya certainly this is neither sort of side will move on the part of turkey nor is it altruistic totally. Turkey this is a strategic move that has 3 layers though it a geo political move that looks at the Eastern Mediterranean and tries to see where it positions itself favorably in this case on the side of libya against another emerging 30. 00 greece israel and egypt 2nd militarily it deploys in some form or another in support of tripoli in order and thats the 3rd layer to position itself at the table in berlin because if this deployment should mean anything its not to escalate the war but rather to speed the process of negotiation oh my goodness ok my wonder shara thank you so much for that mullins our senior political analyst of course. Now i made reference to this grace and israel and cyprus as well expected to sign off on a multi 1000000000. 00 pipeline agreement which does play into this wide a story the east west story its the east med to pipeline which will begin in israels advance on base and off shore gas reserves it will run across the mediterranean to the greek on it of crazy it will then go on to the greek mainland it could provide up to 10 percent of the e. U. Use natural gas needs John Psaropoulos in athens for us on this one what is the latest on this one as far as it actually being approved. The agreement thats being signed to stay in athens in just a few hours is an agreement of government intent its an Intergovernmental Agreement that settles the terms on which this pipeline would be built politically and legally it isnt an agreement to build the pipeline that has to be done by commercial companies and the companies the consortium in charge of doing that is comprised of the Public Gas Corporation of greece and the Italian Company edison together they have formed a Company Called poseidon which has to find 5200000000. Euros possibly more in order to complete this project so it is not a easy undertaking but the 3 governments have been discussing the wording of todays agreement for over a year and they are now going to make it public and that is a political statement of will and of intent and that is a very important step forward i think the timing of this signature is also not coincident it is coming on the heels of last novembers agreement between turkey and libya delineating an exclusive he cannot. Between the 2 coastlines across the middle of the eastern Mediterranean Sea the agreement between israel greece and cyprus is not an exclusive Economic Zone agreement it is simply a statement that were going to build this pipeline were going to do everything we can to see that it is built even so it adds another layer to all these competing interests you would have had not one and i talking about turkey and libya just now you mentioned as well the deal that they signed so many competing interests in a pretty close part of the world. It is and there are 2 broad Energy Alliances at work here one is the emerging alliance between turkey and russia to build more pipelines into europe the other of course is the one that you mentioned earlier between the emerging gas powers of the Eastern Mediterranean and greece and eventually hastily which is expected to sign on to this agreement in due course. This is not necessarily a clash of interests but its becoming a clash of interests because of greek turkish disagreements on delineation of the Continental Shelf which has been an outstanding issue since 973. 00 and that is a huge problem for the commercial Energy Interests of the region it is also a huge problem for the 2 governments who. Had attempted with the greeks had attempted to invite the turkish side to settle this issue at the International Court of justice at the hague in 1976 since then the 2 sides havent come as close as that to approaching any sort of International Forum so there is a danger of even a conflict in the region we spoke earlier with greeces Energy Minister about that how is turkey likely to react to days agreement between the 3 countries he said. Everybody has to understand that this year this is the year 2020 we are in europe we want all the countries of the. The region to cooperate but of course this has a prerequisite which is International Law and the spirit of goodwill. Capsular its the greek position greece is calling on turkey to sign on to the International Law of the sea and to abide by those principles turkey has so far said it has a different interpretation of what the law of the sea should be ok that is john in athens 1st thank you john. Little earlier we heard from tuck in who is an International Oil and Energy Consultant also a former Research Officer at opec yanna he told us this is more of a political move by the 3 countries than any viable commercial project at this stage they go she shows between these 3 countries 1st it was between cyprus and greece when this gas was discovered 4 or 5 years ago and then israel joined these negotiations have been going on at the political liberal quite a many times last summer as well but it isnt for him to my mind it is still missing that commercial Company Aspect that has to be investment of 67000000000. 00 committed to this it is mired in politics old controversy and there is scope of taking challenging it and so on so there would not be a commercial Company Ready to invest that much in this whole project is more it cannot be more of a political issue. Lets have a look at what else is coming up for you on this news hour taiwans top military officer is killed in a Helicopter Crash just days before the island goes to the pole its also why a former member of the u.

Interpol has issued a red notice alert for the foreman his son chairman carlos go and requesting authorities in lebanon detain him going was on bail in japan for financial misconduct charges which he denies despite being under heavy surveillance in tokyo you managed to leave the Country Police raided his tokyo home on thursday japan does not have an extradition treaty with lebanon. So carlos going to just go through the timeline here he was arrested in tokyo in november 28th teen accused of financial crimes at the time he was still the c. E. O. Of nissan in april less than a month after he posted bail he was rearrested and managed to get bail again it was then put under house arrest and banned from leaving japan. But of course on tuesday he managed to do just that and fled to beirut after making a stop in turkey mohammed jim live in beirut for us what an Extraordinary International story this is turned into mom it. Certainly has come on weve heard more developments from lebanese officials today it was confirmed by the Justice Minister here a few hours ago that lebanon has indeed received that interpol red notice but its really unclear at this stage what exactly is going to happen next now weve spoken to legal experts here who tell us that well its assumed right now that basically this red notice is going to go 1st to the general prosecutor but then the general prosecutor will have to study the case will then have to make a decision as to how to proceed whether or not to actually bring in mr go in or not to and only after that happens will they really proceed so it really sounds like this is not something thats going to happen in just a day or 2 there were remarks made a few hours ago also by the Justice Minister albert said how he said that while lebanon is going to respect its International Obligations mr going did enter this country illegally heres a bit more of what mr said haan had to say. Thing to the general prosecution will not stay idle with this red notice as perths legal prerogatives and specialty i suppose the general prosecution will fully implement the notice and that includes summoning him and listening to his testimony and then if there are measures to be taken off and they will be taken in that sort of interest muhammad is this story making the headlines in lebanon as i said before hes such an International Player you know brazil japan and lebanon involved whats his sort of status theyre. Welcome out let me tell you 1st that here in ash of fear in the eastern part of beirut there is a crowd thats assembled mostly journalists. Were outside one of mr goings residences here in beirut he comes to beirut quite often he has in the past he spent many years of his childhood here as well and he is a lebanese citizen that all being said this story has been so much captured the attention of lebanese citizenry right now because lebanon is in the midst of this massive antigovernment demonstration movement you have a lot of people here that are tired of corruption in this country and want to see a complete overhaul of the political system of course there are stories being written a lot of rumors a lot of speculation as to where exactly this should go and as many of the people assembled here believe he is in this house many of the people here believe he is in another part of the country they have been rumors in the local media that he has met with officials but none of that has been officially confirmed its interesting to note that all through the travails of mr goh in the past couple of years that politicians across the political spectrum and this is a very divided political spectrum here in lebanon politicians across the political spectrum have continued to vociferously support mr goh and often times in the past several years because mr going is so respected by these politicians many people have said that he should come back here they should help solve it lebanons economic crisis and perhaps one day he should run for office here one more thing to add it was announced by mr cohen spokesperson that he will be giving a press conference in beirut on january 8th.

Members of iran backed groups have withdrawn from the u. S. Embassy in iraq after 2 days of surrounding the building of an angry over the u. S. Attack on sunday that killed 27 people from the group has blood brigades the Popular Mobilization forces and others on a camp across the. Facing the American Embassy still demanding the patrol of all foreign troops and elsewhere in baghdad there were more antigovernment protests demonstrators are angry at iraqi forces for what they say was a muted response to the unrest at the u. S. Embassy in comparison theyve seen weeks of violent crackdowns on their own movement at least 485 people have died since those protests began back in october more from the wonderful scene in baghdad. Life at the u. S. Embassy appears to be returning to normal people are back at work and some cleanup operations have begun to remove some of the damage as a result of the fires that have been said to be out of gates and to remove some of the antiamerican graffiti that had been sprayed on the outer walls following the order of the leaders of the Popular Mobilization forces last night to withdraw those crowds basically marched back across the tigris river and a few of them have now set up camp on the other side of the river just across from the United States embassy but the numbers are quite small were seeing a few dozen people some of whom have have set up camps and of course these people consist of the members and supporters of the Popular Mobilization force and specifically brigades which is the group that was targeted by the United States in those latest airstrikes the demonstrators in Tahrir Square who of course have camped out for almost 3 months demonstrating against the government and against foreign influence in iraq specifically iranian influence they have renounced any kind of links to the crowd that marched on the u. S. Embassy and besieged it for almost 2 days what they are saying is that they have nothing to do with those crowds that they dont represent them because of course that crowd actually embodies many of the grievances that these protesters have voiced they want the government to do more to reign in the groups under the Popular Mobilization forces and that we are getting reports from eastern kenya that 3 people have been killed when a suspected group fired at a bus Police Say Dozens of passengers were on the bus when it was attacked and many fled into the nearby bushs Security Forces have been deployed.

Special forces member and pastor david you bands and he wants government to be held to account shelling a displacing villagers thats attempted murder and in some cases murder and burning their homes so thats another war crime many here are members of ethnic 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 their os 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 a fact finding trip to me i must ethnic regions we and 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 much and back to the states the u.

That sri lankas new president got to buy rajapaksa is facing deep distrust among the countrys tamil minority the countrys north where most of them they have is in dire need of the vestment remember rajapaksa was the defense secretary during the final days of the civil war in which tens of thousands of tamils were killed Charles Stratford reporting for us now from menar. Tamil fishermen return with their catch to sri lankas north shore was. Its been 10 years since the nice 3 decade long wall 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 hear. 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 rajapakse or in the november election and the trying to come to terms with the result and. We are on social one can see dozens but i think we must accept them 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 norden districts of 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 force 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 to rebuild the economy have returned. Around 20000 others mostly channels are still missing and their families say not enough support is given to those still traumatized by the war economics. Says between the 2 are different. But the minds between people from different parts of the country 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. And for the local population for now many of sri lankas tunnels remain fearful of the countrys new leader a man they blamed for much of this suffering in the past. Aljazeera northern sri lanka. It seems a new Artificial Intelligence system is proving more accurate than doctors using mammograms in the diagnosis of Breast Cancer thats according to a study by researchers at Google Health and the Imperial College london researchers found that Artificial Intelligence as they say reduce the number of women wrongly told they had abnormal results this is in the u. K. By 1. 2 percent and the number of women wrongly told they were cancer free by 2. 7 percent doctors say the ai system can improve Early Detection for one in 8 women affected by Breast Cancer globally very pleased to welcome our does the into the studio today executive chairman of the World Innovation summit for health wish as we call it here in doha nice to see you i think the 1st thing we need to deal with is what are we actually talking about with a i think this is such a catch all phrase can you simply explain the technology for us and how. Sure well its not a machine not ok to say Machine Learning its about teaching a computer in developing an algorithm or some Mathematical Modeling that recognizes after training what is right what is normal what is normal and in Breast Cancer we know as you part highlighted that mammography x. Ray of the rest of the brain is the best way in detecting early cancer early Cancer Detection improves the mortality from this disease survival so its absolutely critical for most countries will have a Breast Cancer Screening Program such as the United Kingdom so what we did to see whether we can train the machine as well as we train some of our radiologists these are the people who read these mammograms and we had 30000 mammograms which were beautifully on notated the same way as you undertake your papers here and the machine were right in my eyes of what is normal and what is up in all right so the key thing im getting from you here is that one has to work with the eye. It is not replacing the existing technology it is. Replacing how that information is interpreted is it correct i got that right correct what we tried to train the machine in seeing whether they would perform as good as the radiologist or the human readers and the conclusion of the study which was published in nature yesterday the machine the ai algorithm was as good as the 1st street or so in u. K. We have 2 readers we have one radiologist who looks at it and the 2nd one to confirm it and if they disagree it goes to a 3rd right so the machine was as good as the 1st reader in actual fact it was better than the 1st reader because the mission the 1st reader had the clinical information in other words examination of the patient where the machine had no clinical information they just looked at the image so does it potentially replace the reader well it also was as good as the 1st and the 2nd reader combined together the answer to your question is in the future with implementing this we hope that we will have a single human reader and a machine rated being the 2nd reader so freeing up the 2nd radiologist to do you know theres a significant amount of work and radiology and most Health Systems struggle with the number of radiology is that are required so i envisage it implemented in a program replacing the 2nd reader ok is this good news for developing parts of the world. I mean its good news for you as im just thinking about. Technology is only useful if its available to the largest number of people possible and generally Expensive Technology is not available in parts of the developed in the us so in lower middle middle Income Countries where youre talking about one of the big challenges in introducing a Screening Program is in the machines isnt the hardware its the software its the people who are able to read it so the answer to your question is yes if we have the hardware and the screening machines in lower to middle Income Countries we can actually send the images in the cloud and get the report. Fascinating really interesting talking to you about this ira does he thanks so much for joining us thank you thank you. Now as people in the United States gear up to vote for their president later this year one of the main issues theyre concerned about is health care 28000000 americans are uninsured hospitals are denying treatment for those who cant afford to pay looking ahead to this report now from shepparton. I think we should have a debate on health care it is a fundamental issue for the democratic president ial candidates health care under President Barack Obama Health insurance was expanded to cover 20000000 more americans than before under the Affordable Care act or whats now widely known as obamacare but still some 28000000 americans remain uninsured and theres the growing issue of underinsurance yes Insurance Companies are forced to cover more people but if you actually want treatment it will still cost you the clock and a husband paid into their Health Insurance plan for 30 years but when she was diagnosed with cancer she was still build a few 1000. 00 she didnt have a hospital withheld or treatment and sudha at one point authorities handcuffed and shackled to as she fought the charges in court of the hippocratic oath 1st do no harm.

S. Has the most Expensive Health care system in the world however when Health System performance is compact like quality and access to care the us rates last against other developed countries poster is heartened that some of the Democratic Candidates are discussing time and to the for profit Health Care System but he says those candidates who want to keep the Insurance Companies central to health care in the u. S. Are often using rhetoric he and other Health Insurance executives made up in the boardroom before funneling money to politicians for this American Capital market so want to pay twice as much the problem senator sanders with that damn bill that you wrote. And that senator warren backs is that it doesnt trust the American People terms that are being used today are the same terms that i used to use and in fact in some cases helped create this is a term that is an acronym thats used for this kind of Propaganda Campaign its fun and its fear uncertainty and doubt and these campaigns are designed to get people to fear change to make them feel uncertain about whats being proposed and that they would benefit from it and to doubt those who are advocating it a majority of the democratic president ial candidates all vowing to preserve the role of Health Insurance companies the strategy of a powerful industry over decades if it is to be working for now she had her time see aljazeera philadelphia.
