At the governments inability to stop attacks by armed groups. As they were flies over the volcano in the philippines getting a birds eye view of the threat posed by the rumbling craze. Smile have all the days sport including carlos sanfords one madame car rally the spaniard winning the worlds highest profile offroad rally for 8 every time. So we begin with the diplomatic moves ahead of a summit in berlin on sunday to try to end libyas civil war the warlord Khalifa Haftar has met with the Prime Minister of greece turkeys main regional rival but a country thats been excluded from the summit russia and turkey who support opposite sides in the conflict will be at the conference which will try to end the fighting between how fast forces. At the un recognized government of. Both have to expected to be russia is downplaying any chance of a peace deal. The most important thing now is that after the berlin conference if everything goes as planned and the Security Council supports the conclusions from the conference if the libyan sides do not repeat their own past mistakes and start adding any additional conditions and blaming each other as of now the relationships between them are very strange they dont even want to be in the same rooms let alone speak or meet each other meanwhile the fighting continues Libyas National Oil Corporation says that its warehouses have been bombed by forces. The warhead is in tripoli and says that fighting has continued across the country despite diplomatic efforts. But we remembered that since. Turkey started deploying deploying troops and also providing the government with weapons have those forces have been striving to proceed further into this city southern neighborhoods but remember that also the russian medicine that is from the verb no Company Fighting alone would have to as forces they were taking the lead in the battle in several neighborhoods in Southern Turkey but they were really polled by the Government Forces led by turkish experts and military experts and also military leaders on the ground this is the way she remains very dangerous this by. The truce being put in place as their n. O. C. Thats the National Oil Corporation stated that civil trucks were set on fire by a random rocket that was launched by have to his forces and head on Oil Storage Tanks in southern tripoli and also one worker was injured in that attack lets go to athens where the wall Khalifa Haftar has met with the greek Prime Minister. Is there for us live john what transpired from the meeting. We still dont know whether theres going to be any statement after the meeting between general have tyler and the Prime Minister and that meeting is still ongoing as far as we know but we do know what was said earlier in general have to his meeting with because then the as the foreign minister mr then the us told reporters after that he and general have to have agreed that among general have to us aims at the peace conference to secure a cease fire and security in his country should be the pursuit of the. A blockade against any other was reaching the warring sides a departure of foreign mercenaries that have played such a large part in this war and also in an old mint of the maritime jurisdiction agreement reached by have to rival the government in tripoli with turkey last november that is an agreement greece has taken particular objection to because it infringes upon areas in the mediterranean that greece also sees as its maritime jurisdiction belonging to its eastern asian islands and so it wants that agreement and all that is its main concern in these talks but of course it is it is aligned with its European Union allies and partners in wanting International Law to prevail in libya and an agreement thats acceptable to all sides of course chris wont be at this this meeting on sunday what is it hoping for what is it hoping will come out of this. Summit i think i think greeces dearest hope is that this agreement between tripoli and turkey will be either an old definitively or at least put on ice indefinitely as long as its never implemented that is what greece is concerned with its concern is to send a message to turkey. The maritime jurisdictions turkey believes it has secured for itself not in fact turkeys greece and turkey. Have been somewhat relaxed about delineating that maritime jurisdictions in the Eastern Mediterranean because theyve had such acrimony and such strong differences of opinion over how that should be done other countries cyprus israel lebanon egypt have done so in the last 10 years or so greece and turkey have been in a in a vacuum and the developments that have progressed in the Eastern Mediterranean the dealy nation of maritime jurisdictions the discovery of undersea gas and oil have caught these 2 countries by surprise they havent been ready diplomatically to take advantage of whatever undersea wealth may be in their respective jurisdictions and this is all happening back to front they are both grandstanding theyre both saying that we have rights to drill for oil but they havent got a framework within which to do so. Live in athens many thanks indeed ron smith had us out of libya and house and she joins us now live via skype from cambridge in denying kingdom ran a good time here with us what are the prospects for this meeting and then on sunday. Well originally the idea of the burning conference was actually to focus on the International Actors and given that International Act is strange country drones are huge driver of the current conflict now that was the initial aim so to agree that the u. N. Arms and body which is in place on libya could be in force at the moment it isnt being however what weve seen over the last week with russia and turkey facilitating a cease fire deal between set up and have to on the ground there as you seem very early reports of not necessarily completely being in force on the ground now so i signed that deal 3 in moscow on monday after i did not so i think the main immediate outcome of that in conference that we act as a hate group or is i have to also agree to these trees and theyre going to great attempts that will allow the ceasefire to be monitored and semblance of peace to reign as thats really the 1st step towards moving toward some kind of but its coprocessor or even getting the 2 actors in the same room together to be able to discuss possible ways forward is greece writes to be miffed that its been excluded from this conference course or to be represented by the e. U. What is the e. U. Looking to get from it particularly france or germany. Where greece is an interesting one because actually up until recently they were the big player in that you didnt really see that making many comments or really acting you know interacting with the libyan actors too much that has changed more recently since that it is conflict started partly really because of the role the tech is played on the g. N. A. T. Side on the tricky side and therefore greece has been strength things relationships with adamant is in Eastern Libya the main reason it wants to be involved really at this point is because of the deal between the d. N. A. And tekkie and then greece is fearful that if the jna continues that that may stand and as a ripple mentioned they would they would stand to new use and a lot of that right there what complicates that in the sense of the e. U. Is because there are many different interests. What in the event i dont agree that is really hamstrung and not really seen any kind of concerted position other than lip service towards a kind of overly Peace Process in libya on the one hand you have france is much more closely aligned with the would have to us forces although they have been relatively quiet on the libya front recently since the conflict started italy for example as well it was also historically a very big player in libya and one of the key players in fact that they have seen that role really sidelined in recent since the conflict started really by players such as turkey and russia so italy is going to reassert itself reassert its role as a key mediator in the complex ultimately it would like to ensure that is interested protected in terms of contracts on the ground hole to migration to libya whereas france is more interested in reassessing its control of the region extremisms of the stability in the want to settle region right and with more of a focus on counterterrorism and where does russia fit in to all of this what is what is russias primaries goal as far as libya is concerned. Well russia is an interesting answer russia is being engaged in libya for many many years under gadhafi as well imagine to gadhafi they have many contracts for infrastructure other things in the country and thats really what they want to see it again so russia has a lot of economic interest by outstanding contracts and new contracts they would like to win that combined with the just a strategic element of having a foothold in north africa and the waters off that is also important so for russia they want to be in a position that whatever political priest Peace Process comes out of these talks it is on good terms with whoever is in power and that was in a position to get its back payments and owns a secure future economic agreements and as such although it has messages on the ground supporting one side and it has been much more closely rami past us forces it has kept an open relationship also with the d. N. A. And thats i think why its pushing this 5 because its in russias interests as well as turkey that the country the conflict doesnt escalate to the point where oil goes off line the economy can completely tanks and is going to be no hope of any new contracts could soar to run on many thanks do advanced math but as yet as a hero of libya analysis. Irans Supreme Leader ayatollah ali harmony has delivered his 1st friday sermon in 8 years he said that u. S. Forces are not safe in the region and beyond and so after the u. S. Killed the top military commander custom sum of money earlier this month nominee went on to urge calm after protests over the accidental shooting down of a ukrainian passenger plane he told worshippers to be wary of western misinformation there are members of the treats wrist u. S. Government keep repeating that they are behind the people of iran but aligning even if they are standing by iranians its only to state they poison the degas into the hearts of the iranian people. Lets go live to. Joins us said what else did the Supreme Leader have to say. Well i had to laugh how many had a number of messages sometimes its for a domestic audience and other times its an International Audience to criticize the European Countries that started that trigger mechanism of disputing the 2015 nuclear deal and taking iran to United Nations he said that he never trusted them that theyre like a steel hand in a velvet glove thats a very famous line of his that he uses but he also says reminded the people at friday prayers that the 3 countries a u. K. France and germany supported Saddam Hussein during the iran iraq war now. Look how many is not only the spiritual leader he hes the theologically day hes the political leader of iran and him attacking the europeans like this could signify a change in attitude and how iran deals with those 3 European Countries and especially the 2015 nuclear deal he criticized western powers saying that they care about they claim to care about the people in iran and he said that how about the millions of people out in the streets during the funeral of general hossam so the money who were he said who were the people of iran of those millions or the few 100. 00 that decided just to create a picture of general carson for the money now he hasnt spoken in since 2012 but he this is the context for this is that he had widespread antigovernment protests back in november weve had the assassination of general costs and so the money the head of the goods force you had the iranian retaliation targeting u. S. Targets inside iraq and then we had the downing of the Ukrainian Airline by any Iranian Missile after government death to the government here denied it for about 3 days so theres a lot of tension as he usually comes out to rally support and calm the situation down and thats essentially what hes done today here in the iran he said that there were 2 days of god one was the funeral procession because of the millions that turned out and the us. The day of god according to many was when iran struck the u. S. Targets inside iraq but he also said that he was he was regretful that the Ukrainian Airline had been shut down that he sent his condolences but he again ready to support behind the revolutionary guard behind Al Quds Force saying that the essential for security and inside the country and outside so he was essentially just calming the situation down in the coming months because this country faces a lot of challenges out there as i said big live in tehran i said many thanks indeed this is the news hour for mouses there are still to come on the program chinas Economic Growth at its lowest in nearly 30 years well take a look at whats behind the slowdown.

When need to say is a little hard to explain to you how it feels to lose a husband you have to experience it to know what i mean and thats the reality of all families affected by this conflict she fears more hurts will be broken as this conflict rages on.

When breadwinners were killed for one reason or the other obviously you will have unprecedented suffering in a country those who have been killed took care of not only the immediate but extended family in the army today we fear a situation of demoralization and if that happens it will embolden the terrorists the government is he sure that more troops is high and that its doing everything it can to support them but with the security situation in this a hell of a frost that is growing concern in the region that im groups may be preparing to launch more attacks.

The early defect is at the beginning of all there was this collapse of the libyan state there is no new state in libya now and our doors forces come directly from there and they found no mans land in this part of this a hell where they can be acting we dont any problem and especially coming from from the malian border. For example back in africa so at me so the collie do the area of the tree borders and that is due to the point from where everyone every time you have reduced attacks coming from terrorist acts.

Protesters are expected to take the streets of new jazz capital b m a activists are calling for action against attacks by armed groups in the so help at least 170 soldiers have been killed in less than 2 months and files of people have been displaced. Irans religious leader ayatollah ali harmony has criticised several european states saying that they cant be trusted in because haitians over the 2015 nuclear deal. Ayatollah khomeini made the comments during friday prayers its the 1st time that hes led the entire army in 8 years. The u. S. Military has confirmed that some of its soldiers were injured in an iranian attack in iraq earlier this month washington had initially denied that anyone was hurt the missiles targeted the al Assad Military base north of baghdad they were launched in retaliation the assassination of the Iranian Military command a car some sort of money and a u. S. Drone strike the u. S. Says that 11. 00 soldiers have been treated for concussion in kuwait and germany and officers gable is on there is in washington and says the troops are expected to return to iraq after the treatment. That does not appear to be serious injuries nevertheless this is what the pentagon is telling us they say that after the missile attacks on the base many of the Service Members were screened for concussions which they say is very common the blast from missiles can cause buildings to shake and rattle and and can cause potentially concussions in people that are even outside of the Immediate Impact zone once these tests were done on multiple Service Members that were at that base that needed further screening they showed signs of some sort of concussions that were they suffered after the blasts from those missile rocket launches the Service Members have been transported to a u. S. Air base in germany to a u. S. Air base in kuwait and they say theyre doing further testing the military says it is all part of standard procedure no one is in any sort of life threatening injuries or anything like that in fact the military says that they are expected after the screening is complete to be sent back to iraq so thats what we know now there are injuries or i should say there were injuries that this is the 1st time that it was being disclosed i should point out but it does not appear to be very serious. Just want to briefly show you some live pictures from washington this is brian hook the u. S. Special representative for iran giving a Media Briefing hes been speaking for some time and is taking questions right now weve been listening in at aljazeera and we will turn around the newsworthy bits of what he had to say and bring them to you shortly. On. The Afghan Government has rejected a taliban offer for a 10 day cease fire president trunk cold negotiations dead in september the taliban wants foreign troops to withdraw while the u. S. Is set a reduction in violence would see its forces pull out in return for any security guarantees aljazeera same bus ravi is in kabul and explains why the government says that the deal is unacceptable. And it has to be said in the broad context of an 18 year long conflict a short reduction in violence might not seem like that much but the hope here by the United States is that even a short reprieve would be a welcome thing because talks have been stalled for so long in the hope is that this would have some kind of a cascading effect if the United States and the taliban can come to some kind of a long term reduction in violence some kind of an agreement that would make that possible then perhaps the thinking is by the peace negotiators here in afghanistan in qatar in doha where peace talks are ongoing that that could then lead to some kind of a deal between the taliban and other afghan stakeholders what weve heard from the government in the last 24 hours is that the the proposal in the letter from the taliban to the United States as far as the Afghan Government is concerned is simply not good enough Salaam Brahimi is the state minister for Peace Affairs hes a member of the president ial cabinet here in the capital kabul he was speaking at a local think tank here in kabul and during his speech he said that the offer was quote an acceptable as far as the Afghan Government is concerned for the stakeholders here in afghanistan what they want for any sort of talks with the taliban is a complete cessation of all military operations by the group a an all out cease fire and nothing less will do as far as the Afghan Government is concerned. The impeachment trial of u. S.

But an impeachment trial under u. S. Law is not just a judicial proceeding it is a proceeding that is both legal and political with most of the jurists who will decide the president s guilt or innocence being members of his own Political Party and in an Election Year there is little reason to believe that republican senators when a vote to remove their own leader from the white house in the recent polling shows most americans expect a fair trial in the senate distro not one rigged in the president s favor the democrats say to get that they need to open the proceedings to new witnesses and new evidence that appear to incriminate trump further the president is blocking them and again the American People just about all of them are asking the question what is the president hiding this chamber exist perseid sleep.

Chinas Economic Growth has slowed to an almost 3 decades low its g. D. P. Grew by just 6 point one percent in 2019 thats the lowest since 1990 but still within the governments target the worlds 2nd largest economy has been stifled by the ongoing trade war with the u. S. Exporters have been facing steep american tariffs on wednesday the 2 sides signed phase one of a trade deal to try to ease the tensions well heres how chinas economy has performed over the last 3 decades chinas economic rise took shape in the ninetys it began with a relatively low growth rate of 3. 9 percent in 1990 would soon hit a high of 14. 2 percent in just 2 years but the asian market crash of the late ninetys saw its g. D. P. Growth rate slow to 7. 00 in the last year of the decade but growth once again picked up in the 1st years of the next decade of 2008 financial crisis though it the economy hardest demand to chinese exports fell the g. D. P. Still grew up 9. 7 percent thats much higher than most industrialized economies johnnies a chinese economy hasnt grown above the 7 percent back in the last 5 years and has now hit a near 30 year low of 6 point one percent as a new decade dorns rory greene is a financial expert on china says that there are positive signs in the economy despite the relatively low growth. You certainly look at the comparison between the q 3 in the q 4 numbers for g. D. P. And for chinas Industrial Production and retail sales investment you can see a real clear improvement in those numbers so we actually think that the china chinese economy has bottomed out and is send for a relatively stable period of strong stable and strong period of Economic Growth china is in a very tricky transition period where its trying to shift away from a credit fueled investment driven economy towards a more high tech consumption. Fueled growth model and the moment its kind of caught in the middle of the consumption is not Strong Enough the technology upgrading hasnt carried out at such a high pace so its still having to rely bear on investment and credit to to boost Economic Growth again continues to build up problems within the system continues to grow and until this transition successfully occurs china is very tricky balancing act to maintain here and making matters worse for chinas economy as the sharp fall in the countrys birth rate which is at its lowest level since the beginning of communist rule in 1949 and thats adding to concerns about an aging society and a shrinking workforce the Chinese Government relaxed a strict one child policy in 2016 but despite bad on a rebirth as foreman every year since.

The everywhere prices are being calculated in dollars but its complicated im negotiating to see if they can give me one avocado for 1. 00 all right so we have it below because theres no change. I mean you dont arise ation is a term that describes the u. S. Dollar as a substitute for a countrys local currency when it becomes almost worthless as is the case in venezuela but salaries and pensions equivalent to around 5. 00 are still paid him believe it is which by very little so for a great many even his whalens like a dunya isa it means more famine than feast all of them said im a Senior Citizen im never handled dollars and so im in the clouds when they quote me prices in foreign currency in a movie only 7 of them are not all going to go in december somebody gave me a dollar and i said oh my how exciting a dollar what can i buy with it. 2 pieces of bread thats all.
