In sports are rich for its economy grego schools his 1st one in the cage in more than 3 years is devastating 42nd victory but now sets were remarks against the man who almost ended his career 18 months ago. Thank you for joining as the warring sides in libyas long running civil war are coming together in the german capital for a un backed peace conference chancellor Angela Merkel has invited leaders from 12 countries a spot of a month long diplomatic drive to stop the fighting but a number of countries have been left off the guest list including morocco qatar and libyas neighbor tenacious warlords highly for have taen launch an offensive in april to take tripoli from the internationally recognized government early attempts to negotiate a cease fire have failed including a summit in moscow last week ahead of todays talks in berlin the turkish president call the conference an important step in reaching a solution to the conflict in libya but he old. Well call for a Stronger International action against after our garbage of didnt solve the International Community has not shown the necessary reaction to have targets attacks until now the actions of half dot and his supporters are an open violation of the Un Security Councils reserve lucians. Standing by in shape and he will go to him in a moment but 1st to hashem i have whos in berlin for i so hashem tell us 1st about the participants in this berlin conference and what the expectations are. Fully were talking here about key players that have been involved in libya for quite some time and those countries back different parties on opposing and of the conflict in libya you have to give for example which backs the government of phases that are based in tripoli you have countries like france. Egypt the United Arab Emirates and russia which back the warlord highly for half of the all attending this conference along with the americans with the italian with the chinese talking about 12 countries some newcomers into this political process like algeria which has been invited to attend its president is representing the country and they want this to become a starting point for a new Political Institution a new political start in libya that will pave the way to reconciliation they are saying that there could lies the legitimacy of the government based in tripoli and that this so legitimate. Oil company is the owner of the National Oil Company based in tripoli likely an attempt to build bridges with phases but by the end of the day were talking about will of the how to who controls more than 2 thirds of the country and most of the Oil Installations it will be extremely difficult to see how can there lean. Convince all the parties to stop providing weapons to the warring factions stop interfering in libya when they have a completely different agenda expecting to see today some very heated exchanges between the turkish president and the European Community for example they have made it quite clear that they dont want to see turkey involved in this conflict anymore right and we did hear the turkish president call for stronger action against khalifa have talked well the fact that some countries like qatar and tunisia and morocco have been excluded from this conference even though theyre somewhat playing a role in libya undermine the chances of a breakthrough. Well this is definitely seen as a may just setback for the chances to bring about a permanent solution to the crisis in libya the general sentiment before the conference was basically that if you have everyone on board you would be able to solve the problem and set aside the differences but how come you invite countries like the United Arab Emirates and egypt for example which back half tell you dont invest invite qatar which backs the government of phases to neighbors. Neighbors libya has not been invited a newcomer has been invited which is algeria morocco has been instrumental in putting together the landmark agreement of 2015 which put together the and the jna which is the government of National Accord internationally recognized with. Phase assad was the Prime Minister apparently moroccans are sensing that berlin would be the beginning of the end of the scale that agreement of 2015 and the beginning of a new uncharted territory their absence most likely is just going to further exacerbate the political divide in a country like libya and above all it remains to be extremely difficult to see how the europeans were set aside their differences about libya france backs hafter the italians have been having an ambivalent attitude as to who should be that siding with sometimes they say they are backing faiza suburbs but sometimes they feel like they need to be more would have to because hes the one who controls most of the territory inside libya this is a complex Political Landscape that is creating new rules of uncertainties but with the americans now trying to step in and buy tons of the confidence there is a sentiment that this could be the beginning of a genuine political start for this political process in libya hashim for the moment thank you very much thats reporting there live from berlin and a draft of the final communique expected to be released later at conferences calling on all points to. He frayne from hostilities against Oil Facilities in libya and the latest attacks by forces loyal to warlord 24 have tried forced the closure of 5 of libyas eastern oil exporting they are the way tina bragger ras lanuf and says are libyas National Oil Company says that will result in a loss of 800000. 00 Barrels Per Day in output thats me to our correspondent Mahmoud Abdel wahab now in tripoli so mahmoud hows the blockade of the Oil Terminals by have to our sources likely to impact whats going on in berlin at this derailed things. Fully fear is rising especially here in the worst of the country the closure of the 5 major Oil Terminals in the east of the country not. A bit of lean ongoing peace talks now but also will have a heavy toll on civilians on peoples lives here in little italy in the west of the country but all over libya because the n. O. C. That this state oil firm here has just sent a letter to the speaker of the parliament the poor have to the parliament urging him to give orders to the forces blocking their Oil Terminals to lift the blockage immediately the n. O. C. Seems to be very concerned its says that this blockage of the major Oil Terminals is not only costing the country about 55000000. 00 a day but it also most of us and i love this chain of the state oil firm here says that this blockage is also disrupting the production at all one of 50 oil fields and he explains that in order to bring production back to normal this takes longer. And including get suffer stick a did main snip Maintenance Operations because several pipelines and tankers would be eroded because of this blockage ok miles will the United Nations support the mission libyas except thirst deep concern over the this a lot of the oil exporting terminals are a good man were to leave it there thank you very much mahmoud is our correspondent in tripoli theres further discuss the situation in libya now with imad body whos a non resident scholar at the middle east institute he joins us on skype from florence in italy thank you very much for being with us and of course were going to focus on this berlin conference in germany the hope is that this conference will lead to a more permanent ceasefire in libya and to the implementation of the arms embargo do you think this is achievable in the current context i mean will brylin succeed where moscow failed last week. Unfortunately do not think so i dont think anyone should have theirs oh truly if your ghosts were limbs of was going to be the conference was initially you had agree that was essentially focused on actually tapering interventionism by foreign states and also in forcing the arms embargo unfortunately now its become really bad and also it seems to have completely altered its goals from what was initially envisioned so its no longer about forcing the arms embargo its no longer about focusing on tapering interventionism its actually almost the reset maybe of a Political Landscape that would be essentially legitimizing the status quo and sweeping under the rug the fact that a lot of this offensive 10 months ago on the un back government ahead of a National Conference in the presence of the secretary general of the United Nations i think this has really tanked europes quite the bill that the stated unfortunately the dynamic is that no one wants that you need the u. A. E. The United Arab Emirates which is the main backer and weve seen in statements continuously both public and private everyone is with a doctor the strained relationships with therapy which is the fact that the only support of the government nash rightward so that with this dynamic in mind its clear that our lead might not be as productive as it should and as you say the optics in not very good i mean have ties side is represented at the talks by u. A. E. Them in back of course finds egypt and on the governments side the National Accord size you have just turkey both kottayam and to nation operatives that they take reno what does it say about the balance of power right now on the ground. Well the balance of power at the end of the day this conference was initially vision does one with that would bring in lets say the biggest backers of the forces on the ground say the biggest player the force on the ground tunisia was invited actually last minute yesterday and declined the invitation because it wasnt included in the preparatory meetings towards berlin. It wasnt included in the turkey meetings towards berlin but it did accept the invitation i suspect of do or was brought in at the behest of turkey that wanted a more lets say neutral actor. In the berlin talks but unfortunately even with all these efforts it doesnt seem really that gruden is able to do much in right actors because all the actors are getting ready for berlin to fail so it is happening in the western capital and on the ground people are already getting ready for it to fill in this area speaking so imagine that begs a question i guess you know of how much rail and how much commitment there is really from the International Community to find a permanent political solution in libya many of these countries a key player has had also had a big role in the instability violating the the u. N. Arms embargo and we had the German Foreign minister say that they have to make sure that libya doesnt become a 2nd syria but they seem to have let this go on for some time now a western countries really ready to help find a solution are they ready to put pressure on half time for instance when they seem to be you know profiting a bit it would seem from the instability in libya. To be very honest with you i think historians are going to look at this and think that is really the moment where youre being credibility and diplomacy and the credibility on libya was really no longer has credibility you by the nonstate actor that launched an offensive not designed u. N. Backed government but also on the headquarters of the United Nations support mission in libya that is in tripoli. Thursday as the secretary general of the u. N. Was there 10 months ago this was the head of the National Conference everyone failed to condemn it no one said anything for 10 months by the fact that it basically thousands killed hundreds you had states that offer political military support is really burleson is almost a microcosm of impunity at this stage of what impunity looks like because you are welcomed on red carpet in a foreign capital this by refusing to even sign a cease fire last week in moscow unfortunately i dont really see how the op digs could even be conducive to any form of reconsolidation of the idea because what you have with the perspective is where a lot of libyans as well theres an end for even the implication i think even beyond libyas that this theres no way for diplomacy there is absolutely no willingness among the International Community to coerce or rival actors towards peace in that body thank you very much for speaking to us thank you for sharing your view of the my battle joining us from trying to appeal. Lets turn to other world news now and violence has once again broken out in hong kong after on Thai Government demonstrators attempted to march through the city in defiance of a ban riot police fired tear gas at protesters and arrested several people thousands gathered in the city center of the city for the demonstration which was approved by authorities as long as participants stayed in one location but police warned they would stop anyone attempting to march lets check in with sarah clarke in hong kong for his so another weekend another rally in hong kong and again some pretty violent scenes tell us about whats been happening and what the aim of this particular rally is today. With the police lockdown which is around here where we are now in abbeville to around Central Hong Kong where that rally i went to hit its now just been lifted weve had all the right place a pack up and leave it appears the protesters have also dispersed now earlier as you mentioned we had thousands of people gather in china got behind me at this particular rally this gathering was approved but they werent allowed to march however the protesters went against the the police band that defied that particular decision and they marched anyway and they got about 500 meters to where we are now without blocked by a large number of right place and of course you mentioned as well that the tear gas was fired a number of rounds of a sponge grenades were also fired on those crowds as they march and block some of those main thoroughfares through Central Hong Kong there were a number of arrests and some small clashes in some violence between your composure tensions between the police and those protesters now this particular rally today was organized by the civil rights assembly and this particular group were pushing their prodemocracy message it was called the the seizure on communism and theyre also speaking out against what they say are accusations of Police Brutality was another weekend of some clashes i want to. And tear gas being fired as these protests are now pushed on to the ike months of demonstrations and it seems the police have been increasingly cracking down on these prodemocracy rallies sara and yet people continue to come out and. I do want to say a small numbers of light compared to the big numbers we had last year we had one and 2000000 people rally and march through hong kong but the place of certainly escalated their tactics to try and stop these demonstrations weve had a number of rallies being denied the approval to go ahead the place refused to go ahead of the approval weve also had a number of events being canceled over the Chinese New Year festival which is beginning this week this is a annual traditional festival celebrated across hong kong but this year its certainly been dampened by events being canceled the main pride which is the annual and annual pride thats being canceled the fireworks are being canceled as the police try to wrap up this acuity to try and stop the Antigovernment Movement ramping up their efforts to try and dampen those celebrations all right sara thank you very much for the moment sara kroc live for a simple car. In yemen more than 60 government soldiers have been killed in a missile strike on the province of my read dozens more were wounded in the attack on a military Training Camp yemens government is accusing hoofy rebels of being behind the attack ramadan is in the capital sanaa he says the death toll is expected to rise. The attack has involved according to sources 333 missiles one targeting a gathering of the Government Forces and another one targeted weaponry where were house. The nobody has so far i claimed responsibility over the attack has targeted this military camp which is. South west of the province of rep its a little bit far away from the whole fees but. Their missiles could reach such distances even that they have reached over 11000 kilometer when the targeted. Targets inside the saudi territories but so far. We are still waiting for with the whole confirm it or deny their responsibility over the attack. Now protesters in lebanon are preparing for another day of rallies after months of Peaceful Demonstrations descended into violence on saturday night nearly 400. 00 people were injured when Security Forces fired tear gas and water cannon at crowds in the capital in a standoff that lasted several hours demonstrators say theyre tired of waiting for the government to fix the ongoing economic crisis. Or from bailout. Rage in the streets of the capital in what might be a new phase in an uprising against lebanons leadership that is now in its purest months fierce confrontations between antiriot police and. Protesters turned downtown beirut into a war zone this is the epicenter of a protest movement that until a few days ago was relatively peaceful running battles began when demonstrators who want the Political Class they blame for mismanagement and corruption to leave power try to Storm Parliament building Security Forces responded with tear gas i feel like the message is square protesters to back off and that they cant win and i think that the message of everybody staying here is that the more of this violence they face the more. The return lebanons economy has been in turmoil for months a proposal to tax whats up polls which should be a free service triggered the protests in mid october unemployment was rising and the lebanese local currency was losing value riyad in an economy to grow says everybodys going to get hungry everybody is going to get did reduce. I dont have to convince anybody about whats happening today its clear whats happening who can get a hold of their money in the banks weve lost everything finally everything that is good. To be there is an amazing country they took everything we have nothing left this is our only option is to go down on the streets. Vigeland so. I think before the year corrupted government. There is anger at banks which imposed caps on the troubles there is a shortage of dollars antiriot police have been using excessive amounts of tear gas to disperse the crowd but antiestablishment protesters are defiant the wounded were in the dozens both protesters and Security Forces were taken to hospitals there is a political vacuum many lebanese are growing impatient with politicians who are refusing to form an independent Government Free of the influence of Political Parties instead they are bickering among themselves for ministerial posts in the next cabinet this new government alleging technocrats it was really just a smokescreen for the old ruling oligarchies elite so the protesters were really upset this is the 3rd night of violence since tuesday when activists said they planned to revive the momentum of the protest movement after a brief lull they announced what they called a week of rage they seem to be living up to that promise the United Nations has already described events in lebanon as dangerous chaos it is what comes next that many fear. Beirut. To go on who is a writer and former editor of english is live from beirut thank you so much for your time the protests in lebanon have been largely peaceful what is it that led to this eruption of violence that we saw on saturday why is iago boiling over. Well what sparked the violence is. Violence that was started by riot police on tuesday against Peaceful Protesters and that brought up a reaction in reaction against against the police force and mostly against targets that the protests are see as symbols of. The corruption and. Reasons that have led to the bankruptcy of the country that we are witnessing great now its been more than a 100 days since this protest Movement Began why has there been no progress in forming a new cabinet what are the sticking points. Well theres definitely progress i mean we are thursday there were there was word that we might be hours away from from the government being formed there are some. Last minute adjustments being done but the end of the day im not sure that will change march in that protest movement because there was there is a sense that the government is not taking the demands of the protestors seriously theyre not dealing with the situation in the sense of urgency that it requires and indeed what the protesters have been demanding is change and specifically changes to the sectarian based political system in lebanon but do you think thats feasible in a country as divided as lebanon if not this technocrat government if not the sectarian system that brought it has want a technocrat government of course but can it be achieved. Ok here we have to look at and start calling things by their names if you look at where the violence of the protesters what was targeted this week it was against the banks and it was again mainly against the banks and lets we should call things by the names there are not banks they are ponzi schemes they are fronts for ponzi schemes that have gone bust also the protests that we saw yesterday in what the what is called downtown beirut or central beirut is also. Area thats what occupied by a private company that appropriated private land and turned to turn in the center of beirut into a gated community you can see here to my left or to my right all these facades of buildings that are empty and theyre owned by a private company in whats supposed to be the center of this is the economic project that people are protesting about the sectarian system its this economy that serves the banks and the real estate. Sector over all the other sectors of the economy ok jaago and thank you for talking to us and giving us here these are going is a write in journalist joining us there from table. Heavy snowfall in parts of afghanistan has killed dozens of people in recent weeks aljazeera went to Herat Province in the west where people are facing harsh conditions and are appealing for help. In villages all over the country afghans live in much the same way they have for centuries there are no gas or electricity lines people still collect the wood they burnt to stay warm in winter. Thats how 18 year old mother died. His father said he walked to a nearby forest to gather brush for a fire to keep the family warm through the night but he never came out of the lot of them were all of them junk out thats what we thought that he went to his sisters house on the other side of the woods finding not working not so we went there the next day we found his body in the snow our next years father said his son probably became tired walking in the heavy snow and with no one to help him fell asleep and froze to death conditions are miserable for people in other risk on district one man in this village said here in the forgotten corners of afghanistan people are living waiting to die. Snowfall was so heavy this year the roof of my johns mud house collapsed in the middle of the night her family was sleeping when it happened. I ran out of the room and my husband was screaming for help was only able to pull my children out of doing my husband was trapped and died under develop will when the neighbors came they removed his body that had him. Even before the storm she did not have much now a widow sitting outside her broken home she seems completely lost though tragic local Officials Say the overall death toll in this area has been low but village elders say they are in serious need of help weather related illnesses and injuries have affected nearly every one of the 700 homes in this Community People we met said that the winters in this part of the country have been getting increasingly more and more extreme but the cold is more severe and they have ever experienced in the past and we are expecting 2 more months of snow fall and they are already worried about the next disaster when the snowy branch rule melts and floods their homes even if people wanted to leave their Ancestral Lands they say they have nowhere else to go. If they dont get help soon elders here worry out of work young men could join armed groups like the taliban more as a matter of survival than ideology. I got these people are jobless and they do not have anything to eat if these men commit robberies or join insurgents and it is the right the biggest complaint we heard was that people here need a Medical Clinic the nearest one is in district headquarters on the other side of snow covered hills one woman said people have no choice but to walk while they still can before the next storm it seems desperate but they may be the lucky ones deeper in the mountains where the roads are still covered in snow district Officials Say many villages remain inaccessible and the true scale of human suffering still out of sight zain bus ravi other risk on district Herat Province afghanistan.

Your watching the news hour on aljazeera a reminder of our top stories leaders and diplomats from 12 countries are coming together in berlin for a un backed peace conference to try and find a way to end libyas civil war and early attempts to negotiate a cease fire failed including at a summit in moscow last week violence has again broken out on the streets of hong kong after antigovernment demonstrators strikes and lost some of the city in defiance of a ban riot police have fired tear gas at protesters and several people have been arrested and 79. 00 government soldiers have been killed in yemen in a missile strike on the comments of my read dozens more were wounded in the attack that targeted a military Training Camp now the bodies of 11 ukrainians killed on board a passenger plane mistakenly shot down by iran have been repatriated theyve been given a military guard of honor in kiev by president voted music in ski authorities in tehran is saying they have no plans now to send back black box and fight recorders from the Ukrainian Airlines jet that was downed early of this month it comes amid an International International Pressure Campaign urging iran to compensate the families of the 176 victims that speak to our correspondent in tehran. Iranian authorities had said theyd send back the black box recorders to ukraine but thats changed whats the latest here. Yes we have heard from the head of the Investigation Team of the Civil Aviation authority here in tehran who said that any reports of iran handing over due to black boxes from this flight is simply not true iranian officials there have decided for the time being they will hang on to these 2 black boxes and continue their investigation which is still ongoing of course with the assistance of officials that have come to iran from germany france and canada as well as ukraine they have been here over the past few days to try and assist in this Ongoing Investigation and in say for the time being these black boxes will remain in iran until the authorities here feel that they can no longer investigate the contents retrieve what is left of in those black boxes and then they will decide whether or not to send them to either ukraine or france those are the options at the moment we also know that 176 victims 150 bodies have been returned to their families and loved ones the other 10 theres 10 bodies that the iranians say they have not yet identified because they dont have enough information for the time being for now the Authorities Say their investigation is ongoing with the assistance from officials from those countries we also know that the airline has is one of the airlines thats the cited to cancel flights to iran now until mid march initially they announced that they were not going to fly to iran until the end of january but theyve decided to extend that deadline citing security and safety reasons in the arabian skies something the officials here say that they feel very confident that they are secure and the are guaranteeing the safety and security of passengers for now and whats been happening on the diplomatic front door so theres been a lot of pressure of course on iran to compensate the victims families. Theres been a lot of political diplomatic pressure both internally on president rouhani and his government as well as on the International Scene because the iranian officials took them 3 days to own up to the fact that they accidentally shot down this plane it was a new radio misao that brought it down and then the officials here were trying to catch up to the narrative that had been portrayed over the 1st few days and thats what caused a lot of anger and disappointment in the officials here both internally and also in the International Level theres been a lot of criticism from the canadian government to the Ukrainian Government as well as the french and german so for now the foreign minister about serif has met with the Canadian Foreign minister in a one on saturday and they continue to say that they will cooperate with all the involved to try bring an end to this investigation as soon as possible all right thank you very much for that dorsetshire bahrain live in tehran.

Have been arjen see crews take the injured to hospital or some of the missiles hit several towns in the northern province of aleppo. But for others its too late for the new year because some of the airstrikes hit this house which was for displaced people they came here looking for shelter trying to escape the bombing when we arrived we found 4 bodies on the ground. Turkeys president recent high apparent on says syrias government violated the cease fire brokered by turkey and russia.

Many families are now packing their belongings in leaving so many dont yet know where they can go and be safe katia locus of the young aljazeera. An eruption warning. In the philippines but some fishermen in the area have ignored it and gone home back to work rob mcbride joined coast guard trying to keep people away from the dangers so. The philippines coast guard is making this Early Morning patrol every day at the moment theres still a restriction in force on anyone going to the island its simply too dangerous to go there and this is part of that. Just as we were approaching the island we saw boats also coming to the island and also we see people on the shoreline here people still have fish farms here so they come out very Early Morning to tend to their fish farms despite warnings that they should be staying away. So theyve been telling the fishing boats they cant stay here they have to leave and some of them have left but we still have these guys on the shoreline here who are determined to stay and theres not much the coast guard it seems can do about that. Were urging them to leave the island and those we see trying to come across we stop because its still a level 4 and weve got to think about safety and as weve been driving around here we see just over the hillside huge billowing clouds of steam and dust coming from the volcano having said that it does seem as though the emissions have dropped in the past few days or so it seems a lot more peaceful so its hard trying to tell people that they can come out here people say look we have livelihoods were going to make a living we have to come out to our fish farms or come out and fish what else are we going to do there are villages dotted all around the coastline of this volcanic island as weve been going along with been seeing boats at all of them and people happily at work as though life is getting back to normal and seemingly impervious to the warnings from the coast guard. It seems risky enough just visiting here seems inconceivable that anyone would want to spend any time here but the people left. They left behind livestock also left behind Domestic Animals we just noticed there was a dog on the shoreline the coast guard here just made an attempt to rescue it put it in the boat but it doesnt seem to want to leave. The coast guard will be out again tomorrow morning to do the same warning people to stay away and that this is still a very dangerous volcano but what also annoys them they tell us is that while other people are putting their lives at risk by coming out here so well the coast guard by coming out and trying to tell them to stay away. Now the 1st migrants from a caravan moving north. Have been allowed to stop crossing into mexico but under pressure from the white house the government there says it will try to stop them from carrying on to the u. S.

S. That was the aim of most people here to start with and some say they would definitely settle for staying in mexico if they were allowed to join homan aljazeera on the mexico guatemala border.
