Allegations of 4 crimes and are for. Getting away with murder in mexico demonstrators say the epidemic of violence against women must be stopped. Hello we begin in munich thats where the u. N. Is urging for more accountability to enforce an arms embargo in libya Foreign Ministers from around a dozen countries met on the sidelines of a Security Summit to end libyas civil war there seems to be a consensus that efforts must be made to end Foreign Military support for the warring sides and stop the flow of weapons into the country were. Forces have been fighting to capture the capital tripoli since april. The truce is holding only by a thread with numerous over 150 violations reported and it is the libyan people that continue to suffer the most the Economic Situation continues to deteriorate exacerbated by the oil blockade and the looming banking crisis the purchase of pitting countries and organizations today among some there was a consensus on the need to lift the oil blockade i want to touch on the fact that the life of ordinary people in libya does continue to worsen as a result of this conflict and the degrading of basic services one out of every 4 living in has been negatively affected by the ongoing conflict lets bring in our diplomatic editor james bays there he is hes joining us from that meeting in munich and you were at that press conference james and you specifically asked the German Foreign minister about those who are breaching the arms embargo tell us more about what he had to say. Well i think the key thing here is that this isnt some 3rd Party Country that is of aiding the rest of the International Community and defying them the people who are not complying with the arms embargo in libya are in that room we had 13 Foreign Ministers meeting and among them the countries that are militarily most involved in libya clearly the statement by all the Foreign Ministers this is it coming out is pretty similar to the statement that that leader has issued 4 weeks ago when but for some of those countries abang been playing since lip service to the woods and continuing to supply the arms in high numbers to both sides to the internationally recognized government in tripoli and to the forces of general huffed in benghazi use been receiving plane loads of weapons notably from the United Arab Emirates that was represented at this meeting all this communication today says that the breaches of the arms embargo deplorable the deputy special representative of the United Nations gets on salami whos the special representative were told is somewhat i will well say his Deputy Stephanie williams was that she said that the arms embargo is a joke theyre hoping that another meeting backed in the last few days by a u. N. Security council. Resolution will provide the needed pressure to stop those arms shipments that are also planning to monitor the situation that monitoring it seems will be done by the European Union that talking about and monitoring and monitoring potentially by sea it should be easy for the e. U. To monitor by sea because the u. N. Has all surprised a Maritime Mission to deal with migrants the actual reality rather embarrassing reality for the European Union is that all. Peroration operation sofia authorized by the United Nations actually has no ships operating your tools so in terms of maritime operation dont expect them to monitor it much that way but clearly with satellite truck because these days even with commercial satellite truck as journalists can see the planes that are coming and going on the hourly basis landing in tripoli and benghazi its not hard to see to monitor that this is taking place i think the question is whether theyre going to be repercussions whether the countries are going to be called out and whether thats going to be any sanction taken against them ok james thank you for that update from munich and lets suppose some of those points that james was raising to me when ive been while have because hes on the ground hes joining us from tripoli itself so what are some of the issues that have been discussed in munich and prior to that and burn then mahmoud that are just not being implemented on the grounds. Well during in there havent been major changes on the ground in regard to implementing these major to european consumers namely the arms embargo and the implementation of the cease fire or the troops on the ground and are to some extent i agree with the dignity of the United Nations in void to libya Stephanie Williams she described the situation on the ground or the cease fire as a joke because that hasnt been any any change on the ground except with the possible exception of the decrease to some extent of the heavy fighting over the past few weeks as you know during that there has been sporadic fighting random rockets launched but have to have been landing in residential areas killing innocent civilians including women and children until recently until 2 days ago and also have to force or have been violating the arms embargo by receiving get thousands of tons of weapons and munitions from the United Arab Emirates as their. Government of National Accord says and meanwhile the government says that it is justifying get there its receiving weapons from turkey as the government is the only legitimate institution of the presenting the libyan people and it had it has the right to defend itself and to defend the capital tripoli against after his forces aggression meanwhile as you know that there have been many meetings to call on the rival factions on the ground to stop or to deescalate starting from russia berlin at this hour. And today minute but that hasnt been major change on the ground and the situation remains a very tense and both roaring factions are determined to continue the fighting ok what im going to have thank you for that update from tripoli. Now doctors in china are reporting a slowdown in the number of new cases of corona virus for the 3rd successive day but the World Health Organization says its impossible to predict which direction the epidemic will take 142 deaths were reported on sunday thats along with 2000 more infections most are in who bay province where the outbreak was 1st reported in december now worldwide 1669 have died of the disease they include an elderly chinese tourist in france the 1st fatality in europe and in the past few minutes taiwan is reporting its 1st death the World Health Organization is urging countries to step up preventive measures its impossible to predict which direction this week with take we are concerned about the levels of rumor and misinformation that. The response will concern that by the continued increase in the number of cases in china we are concerned by reports from china used today both the number of those workers who have been infected or down and in hong kong there is anger over treatment clinics that have been opening in densely packed areas residents say they werent consulted on the clinics may threaten their health while sarah clarke has the latest from hong kong. This is one of a number of Community Protests being held across hong kong this weekend but the anger here is from this community against the government of what they say is a lack of Public Consultation with these aires about the sitting up of a crowd of virus treatment clinics in their population in their districts down the complaint is that number one they didnt get the consultation from the government but number 2 theyre being set up in these highly Populated Areas theres a fear of a Community Outbreak but you might be able to see behind me certainly around me there are a number of flags that are calling for independence and antigovernment slogans this particular protest movement is now moving into the prodemocracy groups and the Antigovernment Movement once again. And in Mainland China there is controversy over reports that president xi jinping and top leaders knew about the threat of the outbreak weeks before it was actually revealed to the public brown is following that story from hong kong. Whats been happening this weekend is that state controlled media has been publishing details of a speech that president xi jinping gave on february 3rd almost 2 weeks ago now this speech was delivered to the Politburo Standing Committee thats like chinas cabinet the most powerful political body in the land and jury in that speech president xi jinping concedes that he knew about the virus as early as january the 7th this is 2 weeks of course before the 1st cases of human to human transmission were confirmed then on january the 20th the president said that he issued special instructions to try to contain the virus and we now know that 3 days later the city of was put into lockdown measures that were lauded by the World Health Organization now analysts say what seems to be happening is that the leadership is trying to cover its back in response to all the flak its taken over its handling of this crisis now a lot of people have called this sort of chinas show noble moment referring to the Nuclear Accident in the former soviet union in the mid eightys im not sure weve reached that Tipping Point quite yet its still possible of course that the party will control this virus will contain it and that way it can spin it as you know a victory for the party for the people but i think its too soon to say that at the moment whether the party is going to be able to do that soon as it wants or in japan 70 more people on board a cruise ship have tested positive for the coronavirus that brings the total number on the diamond princess cruise liner to 355. 00 around 3800. 00 passengers and crew have been stuck on board for 2 weeks since a quarantine was imposed the United States canada south korea and hong kong are sending aircraft to fly their citizens home heres our decide imo with more details about the quarantine on that ship. We are hearing some information that the japanese government would announce soon that extension is going to extend. From the 19th of this month to several days and maybe for a week and maybe this is the procedure which is the reason behind the movements and the plans of. All these countries to evacuate to their citizens the 380. 00 passengers u. S. Passengers who are going to be evacuated they will be taken to 100. 00 the airport about an hour drive from here and they will board the airplane that is coming from u. S. To fly them back to their country but when they arrive to travis air base in floaty that theyre going to go under quarantine for another 14 days so why would the u. S. Government go all the do all this procedures and take them for another 14 days get on to other knowing that maybe the current team here would be prolonged for even longer than that and this information and all the situation with the increase of infected people just today the Health Minister announced new 7000 new cases so all this increase with the numbers. Of the countries the u. S. And other Companies Moving their evacuating their bus injures thats putting more and more stress on the people staying behind still ahead on aljazeera the rebels say they shot down a saudi warplane in yemen ponting a retaliation from the kingdom.

Fellow again the top stories on aljazeera the un is urging more accountability to enforce an arms embargo in libya Foreign Ministers from around a dozen countries met on the sidelines of a Security Summit to end libyas civil war there seems to be kicked consensus that efforts must be made to end Foreign Military support for the warring sides and stop the flow of weapons into the country. Doctors in china are reporting a slowdown in the number of new cases of corona virus for the 3rd day in a row more than 2000 new cases were reported on sunday thats down by more than 600 from the previous day but the World Health Organization chief says its a possible to predict switched direction the epidemic will take. Sudans president omar bashir has appeared in court for the 1st hearing on allegations of war crimes in the darfur region the conflict there began in 2003 when mainly non arab rebels rose up against bashir is government accusing it of neglecting the region earlier my colleague a giraffe against spoke to simon adams whos the executive director of the Global Center for the responsibility to protect and he says this hearing could indicate a date with the i. C. C. May be getting close. The sudanese transitional authorities have kind of indicated that they are prepared to hand over the sheer to the i. C. C. And thats the 1st time that theyve ever kind of given a hint of that so something is clearly under way and i think you know its amazing to see just how quickly that country has changed in less than a year members only april last year when when bashir was overthrown and now theyre literally talking about potentially handing them over so you can go in handcuffs to the hague but is whats happening in sudan today going to come up to International Standards yeah i think thats a real question and i mean the one thing thats very interesting here is that the International Criminal court hasnt actually said anything at this point and i assume thats because behind the scenes theyre probably talking to the sudanese authorities right now saying what would a domestic process look like what would a process in the hague look like and how could the International Community potentially assist with some domestic process of thats the course they choose to pursue but the Transitional Council in sudan is not excel of itself full of people who are known for being defenders of human rights is far from its in fact there are some people inside the Transitional Council who you know probably belong at the hague as well not least of all humanity who controls the Rapid Support forces which willing to of course of the gender weight in darfur and so whats clear is that theres kind of a debate obviously behind closed doors at the moment inside the Transitional Authority to say what needs democracy look like but also what does justice and accountability look like 3 missiles have landed near the u. S. Embassy in iraq a capital baghdad a 4th. Close to the office of the Popular Mobilization forces thats a Paramilitary Group backed by iran no casualties have been reported.

A. E. Lit qualis and confirmed one of its planes it went down you know drove governorates in the countrys north east. The what these also broadcast what it says is the aftermath so how did it it was strikes in the area full of which the who these claim were retaliatory that the saudi quality released a statement saying there was a possibility of what it calls Collateral Damage to civilians this show you that the us and our forces has been now able after they have shut down. Several of the. American drones over the skies of yemen in the last day 3 months now it seems to me that they are able to slow down despite that get on they can say that if they start at this stage this means that were going to end that the new stage of the war the who these claim the plane was downed with then missile some another say that if thats true it would be a very Significant Development and yemens long running war this is a big deal knowing that already their partners the iraqis you know how for all practical purposes withdrawn left and now the saudis are there and incapable of finishing the war and certainly capable of winning the war and now perhaps with this game changer beginning to lose the war. More than 191000 people have been killed and another 3000000 displaced by the fighting millions more have been brutes to the brain to famine stricken home agreement of 20000 raised troops for peaceful settlement suppose there is been news sign of that.
