A different vision of the future. Now a new European Union efforts will be launched to enforce an arms embargo on libya which is being floated so much its been described by the u. N. As a joke it was announced after a meeting of e. U. Foreign ministers in brussels and earlier mission collapse last year after disagreements with italy the new mission is to involve air land and naval assets well Charles Stratford says in the libyan capital libyan city of misrata live to him after get some more details about that announcement from Donna Dominic kane who is in berlin for us the German Foreign minister must says this agreement has been reached what else did he have to say. One of the things the German Government has been really keen to stress is the need for the International Community to do more to try to bring the warring factions to project bring to the warring factions together to try to bring the conflict to an end certainly thats what that is the master the foreign minister was referring to at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend but also certainly that was the case when he and the government here tried to bring together all the relevant parties in berlin in january and so from his perspective mr mass that is whats happened in brussels today is the next stage in trying to thrash out some sort of solution something that can be applied to an e. U. Wide level this is what he had to say. Of a musician libya is also about the security of europe so everyone must be aware that we have to make a contribution to ensure our security here in europe those who are thinking about migration must realize that these problems can only be solved with libya is no longer a failed state when there is a security structure with which we can work. The important thing to stress here is that until today it has been pretty clear that one government amongst the 27 e. U. Governments has been resistant to whats happened today the austrian government they really have very strong concerns that anything thats done does not increase the flow of migrants from libya across the Mediterranean Sea what appears to have been agreed is that what will be done the patrolling element of this operation being announced will take place in areas where migrant ships tend not to go and so on the basis of that agreement it appears the austrian government has decided to to stop standing in the way as it were but theres a lot more detail of what what devil in the detail as it were regarding this and its pretty clear that nothings going to happen immediately regarding whats been agreed in brussels today ok dominic cain live for us and barry lynn thank you and lets head across to libya now Charles Stratfords is in Misrata Charles what sort of impact would you say that either you embargo is likely to have in the bia. As you heard from dominic. The questions been also about how long hes going to take to start implementing this plan but the the practical kind of challenge is on the ground and in the city in the yeah all the implementing any kind evolves in boggo are exceptionally difficult bear in mind that the libyan coast is around 2000 kilometers long the country over this is 6 other countries the land border with chad for example alone is over a 1000 kilometers long so there are huge challenges he joins. In trying to implement any such plan the big fights are the basic facts of the boundaries those according to the u. A. E. The flow of all the scenes in this country despite attempts at a ceasefire. Despite attempts at whole to give our audience has has continued indeed some gold is saying its actually increased the u. N. Saying that around here around 200000 tons could be up 2200000 tons of all the registered weapons in libya already and as we heard from a spokesperson earlier today for the u. N. Backed government in tripoli they were saying that so far at least the renegade general general khalifa in the east has ignored any of the crime new plans or on the standings that have been put together in previous diplomatic meetings and hes ignored any of the minute she got of suggestions that are being put forward as well and it was general powell himself last week. Very soon after that u. N. Security Council Resolution was false to say that he schools would continue until in his words they controlled tripoli so it meant china just for the europeans one thing space to say face to say though and that is that finally it seems that the europeans i see are. Asli waking up to the kind of crisis that were witnessing in this country that although things look calm here during this celebration if you got to answer the front lines and some tripoli its very much a civil war there will not 150000. 00 people displaced from their homes already and hundreds of civilians killed so yeah 1 many of the critics would say its about time that the europeans pull that figure out if you will ok im going to have to leave it there but thank you very much indeed for joining us that its wrong.

Irans Parliament Elections are happening on friday but much of the attention has been on candidates have been disqualified from standing more than 7000. 00 applicants were told they cant run including current members of parliament as a big reports from to her on. Coming to terms with life outside of politics after 4 years as a parliamentarian mahmud saw that he has now been told he cant stand for reelection he says he was told by the Guardian Council the body that oversees irans elections its because he does not a baby stomach establishment he rejects that and says he wasnt surprised by the councils decision they didnt want to it wasnt very unexpected for me considering how the Guardian Council make decisions they didnt provide me with complete evidence they made notes of comments on the media and my tweets due to some of my speeches and tweets over recent incidents it seems like they paid attention to them others say being a committed parliamentarian doesnt guarantee candidacy wildhorse initial about those losses for example a candidate should have a good reputation and be committed to the constitution these are not issues one can prove in court the Guardian Council should see if one is committed to the constitution or not. Out of the 8 to one members of parliament barred from re standing its many politicians from the Reformist Movement who have been singled out they say they want this republics political system to be more open and democratic but thats opposed by conservatives who argue change isnt needed this level of disqualifications has not been seen since the 2004 parliamentary elections when conservatives won the majority of the seats thats led to increased criticism of the council the vetting process and calls for reform more and more the the Guardian Councils interference has hurt its position and damage his reputation and unlike what they say its because of the interests of the establishment of parliament should reflect peoples voices and peoples voices have variety they should let different opinions be present in the parliament it will lead to a dynamic parliament where people hope one of the reasons that there is a predicted low turnout is because people feel disappointed in the Guardian Council has rejected criticism that its decisions are politically motivated and some predict conservatives are set to make gains in this election president rouhani has put forward a motion for a referendum on the vetting power of the Guardian Council. But if conservative win the majority of seats in these elections that motion is unlikely to pass and the status quo will continue setting the stage for next years president ial elections and a possible change in political direction. Aljazeera the her own. Irans Parliament Speaker on the has become the 1st foreign official to visit lebanons new government he met suppressants michel i won and said iran was ready to help the economy Prime Minister has sent dia has promised to come up with a plan to ease the financial crisis but protesters are denouncing his cabinet and say they want a complete overhaul of the political system lets get more now from santa harder she joins us live from beirut zain an offer of help there from iran how has that been received by elevens parliaments. Well iran is a major player in lebanese politics it has allies in this country in fact its allies control parliament and control the government its main ally of course the shia armed group has a law now iran also has enemies and levanon there are local lebanese groups which believe that iran is implementing its agenda in lebanon its hijacking levanon through its local allies so iran really is a very divisive issue so when they make any offer of support there is the opposition there are some in lebanon who say that the very fact that iran is the 1st foreign country to send their officials into the new government has been has received a vote of confidence in Parliament Last week risks isolating lebanon even further lebanon is facing an unprecedented economic and financial crisis this state is close to bankruptcy so yes levanon needs billions of dollars but is that something that iran will be able to help a country which is under sanctions a country which is also suffering from an economic crisis level on is finding itself really caught in the crossfire of the u. S. Standoff in the region and the International Community really there has been no expressed expressions of support to. The government as of yet and many believe the very fact that hezbollah an ally of iran has so much influence over this cabinet is going to hurt levanon chances to get funds from the west and the arab world of course the United States and arab countries consider hezbollah to be a terrorist organization ok and. The economic problems are just one off the challenges that the Lebanese Parliament faces these only prove what you think the for testers on the streets of lebanon are going to make of this arena you know for. Well protesters really are up against a state which has increasingly become militarized yes protests continue but the numbers are dwindling the response really from the authorities the harsh response the security crackdown the arrests really are not encouraging people to continue to take to the streets what protesters are relying on is the support of the International Community you have United Nations officials french officials repeat time and time again this government is not getting any money its not going to be bailed out unless you carry out necessary reforms were forms like an independent judiciary Like Fighting corruption fighting tax evasion so the International Community is conditioning aid conditioning giving this new government legitimacy until it carries out those reforms that if it carries out those reforms i can tell you that the politicians their support or their control of the state weakens so this is what the people of lebanon those who have taken to the streets are relying on that the International Community puts more pressure on this government to act and to take them to take those responsible for stealing the countrys money really hold them accountable ok seen or heard there live for us in beirut thank you israels Prime Minister says an israeli aircraft is flown through sudans airspace for the 1st time Binyamin Netanyahu says its another example of warming toys with formerly hostile states its nations are technically at war sudan has been part of a decades loan or a boy course against israels illegal occupation of Palestinian Land evasion breakthrough follows a surprise meeting in uganda earlier this month.
