Scared adopted talks of deplorable conditions on board a quarantined cruise ship in japan as hundreds of passengers are finally allowed off. Course on. And the success of south korean film parasites at the oscars is inspiring a new generation of filmmakers. Now the United Nations says its hoping to resume talks aimed at a cease fire in libya but the leader of the internationally recognized government in tripoli fires also russia says attacks and shelling on the capital have overtaken those negotiations on tuesday his government suspended its involvement in the discussions in geneva thats off to forces loyal to warlord Khalifa Haftar attacked a port in tripoli killing 3 people there tripolis government is now insisting the talks cannot continue until the wild family in. Spawns to what it calls have to as violations have to has since met with russias defense minister and moscow says the 2 agreed that a political solution is the only option for peace in libya well lets go live now tried every magic editor james bay is in geneva for us james where do we go from here whats the latest on potentially restarting these talks. The u. N. Is hopeful of the talks can resume what is important to note is that the delegation from the government of National Accord who were here along with the delegation from general half talking on choose day at the same time as tripolis port came under attack by forces which of commanded by general have to yes they said late at night that they were going to pull out of the talks but theyre still here in geneva and i think the u. N. Is trying to persuade them that their best to rejoin those talks the u. N. Has issued a number of statements the 1st one of those said that the attack on the port was deplorable very Strong Language there from the United Nations and i think by saying language like that the u. N. Is trying to persuade them that their concerns are being noted and also persuade them to stay here for these talks which are supposed to get it durable cease fire in libya you had a truce in name but really its been named alone the idea to get a durable cease fire but you can understand the governments position the sitting down to talks to get a ceasefire when they come under attack while those talks are underway that i think would make you question whether those talks were in good faith and dave and what if anything has come out of that meeting in moscow between have to and the Russian Defense minister. I think we need not to look at whats being said in public by them thats interesting they say the russians that they are still very committed to this u. N. Process and to a political solution but what were the russians telling general half the behind the scenes when he met in moscow all day saying you know keep up your military activity just play lip service to the international talks or are they scolding him and saying no you shouldnt be trying to disrupt this talks process thats not clear it is clear though weve had very many months of a similar situation in fact 10 months ago general have to launch an attack on tripoli at the very moment when the talks process last had some activity and since then general have to back because clearly have been betting on a possible military solution so all of those back as including the russians particularly also the u. A. E. And egypt now committee to the diplomatic solution that they say publicly and in fact only reaffirms this weekend of munich they committed to that privately. James is that of a medic and as with all the developments from geneva thank you james now turkeys president is warning of an imminent and military operation in Northern Syria ressam tried beto on once Government Troops to withdraw behind takesh military positions in the province he says turkeys demands one met during recent talks with russia the kremlin says it strongly opposed to any tech us military offensive the Syrian Government wants to capture those last rebel held areas while turkey says its pressing to establish a safe so invested millions in Northern Syria. Truth. On the subject of it that turkey has made all preparations to carry out its own operational plans but as with every military operation on this subject ill say we could enter suddenly one not yet or more clearly the operation in libya is imminent to the regime and those who encourage not having understood our determination on the subject we will not leave it lip we spoke to mr trump on saturday and i shared with him our findings we have no intention of blatantly shouldering the burden that regional developments will put on our country we are determined to turn it into a secure place both for turkey and for the regions people at any cost lets go live now to. His and had say in techie house and weve already seen so much suffering for civilians there how likely is this offensive to take place. It will depend on whether the Syrian Government goes behind the Demilitarized Zone this is a prerequisite for turkey now the turkish government says that it has 12 military outposts that would establish in 2018 when Turkey Russia and iran agreed on the escalation in live and that those military posts now undermined by the progress of the syrian army to the point where some of those military are supposed by the turkish army are besieged by the Syrian Government can be easily coming under fire power this is number one concern number 2 concern is the turkish government does not want to see it taken over by the Syrian Government because it means that the 4000000 people who live there would have no other option but to cross into turkey which already has more almost 4000000 refugees who live on the border with syria the next coming days will be crucial if that is an agreement with took with russia that could deescalate the tension of this no agreement the potential for an outright war between russia and turkey will further increase. There is a balance for us from taki thank you very much hassle.

The japanese government insists its happy with the way the quarantine has been handled. Its going. Since february 5 weve taken thora action to prevent infection such as asking passengers to stay in their rooms and reduce risk to the entire ship we conducted small tests of the earliest time for priority passengers such as those who are symptomatic and the elderly and if necessary taken them to medical facilities we are taking measures with utmost consideration for the health of passengers and crew members. Even so Health Officials in japan will continue to monitor its citizens who were on board. But for many passengers even finally getting off the ship doesnt mean the end of their journey countries like the United States and australia are telling their citizens to wait another 2 weeks before returning home or face another stretching quarantine if they go back now.

Now u. S. Attorney general william barr is reportedly considering stepping down over conflicts with president onil trump now the Justice Department is locked in a dispute with an association of judges over the handling of the sentencing of trumps former adviser roger stone White House Correspondent can be how that has the story. Less than 2 weeks after being acquitted by the u. S. Senate of abusing his president ial powers donald trump is once again facing similar accusations as he fights his own department of justice somebody has to stick up for the people trump is being criticized for intervening in a case involving a close friend and political ally roger stone convicted last year of lying to a Congressional Committee investigating whether trust Political Campaign colluded with Russia Federal prosecutors recommended stone go to jail for at least 7 years trump tweeted the recommendation was a miscarriage of justice that same day his attorney general william barr downgraded the recommendation prompting for federal lawyers to quit the case complicating things further bar took the unusual step of admitting publicly the trumps tweets dont help if i do make his job harder i do agree with that i think thats true now as Trump Defends bar and lashes out at federal judges and prosecutors a Group Representing the judges is accusing trump of overstepping the legal boundaries of the presidency with unprecedented involvement in politically sensitive judicial cases their actions Trump Defense im allowed to be totally and im actually i guess the chief Law Enforcement officer of the country but ive chosen not to be involved in reality it is the attorney general that is the chief Law Enforcement officer in the u. S. Not the president but that hasnt stopped trump from undoing other sentences through a series of pardons for high profile individuals including convicted Financier Michael Milken former new York City Police commissioner Bernard Kerik and even former democratic illinois governor Rod Blagojevich convicted for trying to sell former president Barack Obamas Vacant Senate seat once Obama Took Office and pres. Trump says he may continue to try and influence the legal case involving his friend roger stone stone sentencing is set for thursday and trump hasnt ruled out pardoning kim kimberly healthy at aljazeera the White House Well lets face it Patty Callahan has live for us in washington d. C. Patty there was initially is no speculation about whether balls comments about trump are really genuine or if it was all about trying to emphasize the independence of the Justice Department do you think were seeing more of that now i think the general consensus in washington is that was not a genuine statement from william barr he is under a lot of pressure as kimberly mentioned not just from the association of judges but from 2000 former members of the Justice Department who an open letter have said that he needs to resign members of Congress Said he maybe he needs to be impeached so he is under pressure so giving that interview he wanted to send the message that he is independent that he can speak out against President Trump and not get any blowback he was fairly blunt lets listen to what he had to say as i said during my confirmation i came in to serve as attorney general and im not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody and i said at the time whether its Congress Newspaper editorial boards or the president im going to do what i think is right i cannot do my job here at the department with a constant background commentary that undercuts me well given all that passion what do you now hearing from the white house if any of this likely to change any of president behavior. Its been really unusual that this is a president who doesnt take criticism at all he fires back at everyone and anyone who says even anything slightly remotely negative about him or his presidency but you saw there with kimberlys story that he came out and said i did you make his job harder i have full confidence in him so this is a very classic washington move this is bill barr he did interview trying to maintain some independence trying to get the heat off of him a little bit. Than trump continued to tweet and then said he was the chief Law Enforcement officer which is really mentioned he is not so now this is pretty classic washington put it in the Washington Post hey you need me more than i need you is basically the message to the president in an attempt to get him to actually listen now will the president do that well have to keep our eyes on twitter but again this is very clearly bill bar sending the message and this is going to be unusual for president because people who quit his campaign his cabinet tend to have been pushed out the door and he we do know that this is a president who thinks the attorney general is a very important position for him personally hes made it clear he wants somebody who will protect him personally thats something that bill bars been seen as doing effectively for this president so clearly sending a message to the white house directly to President Trump keep it up and i can walk but if you really wanted to walk then you probably would of instead of going to Washington Post Patty Callahan there for us in washington d. C. Well continue watching this very closely thanks patty now u. S. Judge has thrown out chinese tech giant qual way a challenge to an all restricting its business the case relates to legislation barring huawei from doing business with federal agencies and contract is u. S. Politicians say the company could use its networks to spy for the Chinese Government while way one of the worlds Biggest Smartphone makers denies this. Now large parts of canadas rail network of ground to a halt as people protest against the construction of a natural gas pipeline the planned route runs through traditional Indigenous Lands and will carry natural gas from dawson creek thats in the province of British Columbia tura finery near the Coastal Region of kitimat from there it will be shipped to asian markets alan fischer reports from one terrier. In the chilling call the small protest camp stands alone throughout the day local people have been bringing supplies showing their support in the most practical of ways they brought hot food didnt vegetables and even firewood what they see is a vision thats bigger than us and the vision i think that they see bigger than us is protection of the environment for too long weve allowed corporations in for example big oil is just one of them but too long weve allowed those of those folks to run the show i was driving through. It seeing as im driving by i have to. Show my support can it is mean real roots of been virtually shut down for 2 weeks protests near the tracks forced the countrys biggest rail Company Canadian National Railway to suspend most operations those protests sprung up key locations after Police Forcibly cleared camps near the route of the proposed coastal gas link pipeline it crossed the line of canadas Indigenous People known here as 1st nations the demonstrators were trying to block access to construction sites the one moving the new protesters will create an even bigger reaction essentially freezing candidates realigns has a greater impact than the 100000 passengers that may have been affected food isnt getting to Distribution Centers that may lead to shortages export of like farmers cant get their goods to port and there is a shortage of gas getting to consumers with weeks of winter still to go in the countrys capital or to the 1st nations leaders say theyre willing to discuss an end to the protest but years of being ignored has to be addressed when governments ignore 1st nations rights title jurisdiction it creates conflict and court cases when governments respect 1st nations rights entitle. Its a path to peace progress and prosperity Prime Minister just to do is trying to find a solution he insists hes no power to direct Police Operations but says talks are the way forward it is time past time for the situation to be resolved but what we are facing was not created overnight it was not created because we have them barked upon a path of reconciliation recently in our history it is because for too long in our history for too many years we failed to do so several groups are seeing the real blockade is creating a real crisis across canada and the longer it goes on the longer it will take to recover i would fisher ill just kind deny go on to you an airplane manufacturer boeing has announced the discovery of debris contaminating the fuel tanks have 77. 00 max jets and the particles were found during the maintenance of several planes its unclear how many were affected the jets were built in the past year but were not yet approved for the use of airline custom and boeing 737 max planes have been grounded since march last year following 2 fatal crashes which together killed 346. 00 people perus government has declared a Health Emergency in some areas after a dengue fever outbreak doctors say 12 people have already died this year and more than 5400 cases have been reported eastern jungle areas near the brazil and bolivia borders have been the hardest hit the outbreaks been partly blamed on an increase in the number of mosquitoes now south korean movies have a long struggle to win Global Recognition but since the film parasite won the oscar for best picture and made International Headlines new doors have been opening for local filmmakers found story has more. Fresh from their victory last week film director. And cast members of parasite help their 1st News Conference back home in seoul but. I feel happy that its now come to a happy and i worked very hard i was thinking about taking a break but Martin Scorsese told me not to resist its been a long road to success for bond who was once on a government blacklist created during former president lee myung box rule from 2008 and expanded under his successor popgun hay the list was intended to cut off state funding to artists deemed too critical of the administration box involvement in that lead in part to demonstrations against her and her eventual downfall. In the past decade south korean entertainment has made waves abroad its pop music known as k. Pop has become a global phenomenon while korean dramas have gained a loyal following in asia it is a little. Film connoisseurs believe parricide could herald a new era for korean films many of them are audience who saw korean film for the 1st time in their lives this number of all this is world b. Potential korean film market and i was also told that there are so many of us. Who are just began to. Seek out more films into. Parasites theme of income inequality resonates with its audience but ironically the film was only made possible with backing from c. J. Groups a family controlled conglomerate these companies known as chaebol control much of south koreas economy and are often seen as perpetuating the wealth gap. The success of parasites has now cast a spotlight on role in the movie industry many such firms own cineplex says and film studios and have been accused of investing mostly in formulaic blockbusters rather than films that promote creativity and diversity so thats why. I made my debut a 999 green movie industry seen a Splendid Development over the past 20 years however at the same time its become more difficult for young directors to make a more unique and adventurous a team and young talented directors rather than being absorbed into the movie industry now make independent movies a film critic says south koreas movie industry is at a Pivotal Moment i think its up to studios to take more take risks with younger filmmakers. To try and find an independent films ive encouraged. These younger directors have opportunities many are hoping that parasite will lead the way to a bolder path for south koreas Film Industry florence lee.
