President. 9 times as many new corona virus infections recorded outside china beijing reports the lowest number of new cases in over a month. And greece reinforces that sea and land borders to stop migrants crossing from turkey. Hello Benjamin Netanyahu is claiming victory in israels general election although it appears hes fallen one or 2 seats short of a parliamentary majority exit polls suggest thats an yahoos the crude party and its right wing allies have around the 120. 00 seats in the knesset so this is the 1st time israelis have done to the polls in less than a year after 2 failed attempts at forming a coalition. Well the Opposition Leader benny gantz told his supporters he was disappointed with the exit poll results but refused to concede defeat. I will tell you honestly i understand and share the feeling of disappointment in hind because it is not the result we wanted and if this will be the result it is not the result that will put israel back on the right track kerry falso it is that Benjamin Netanyahu is the Party Headquarters in tel aviv with more. He is doing all he can here right now to ensure that this is seen across the country as a big victory and in many respects it is for his likud party he is for that kind of pain which on one side has been extremely negative in terms of its portrayal of his main challenger benny gantz but in its last couple of days has been fairly positive in terms of at least saying that he is on the brink of a decisive victory its a campaign which began with that pledge in the white house at the end of january to start an exciting parts of the occupied west bank so this will be viewed with some trepidation by palestinian politicians and palestinians indeed weve already heard from them some of them condemning what is likely to happen in the wake of this election for Benjamin Netanyahu who says one of his key priorities is to fight off the corruption charges against him his trial is due to start in just 2 weeks time on bribery fraud and breach of trust the ability to stay in office whether it be at the head of a majority of coalition that he manages to just ditch together in the coming days and weeks whether he continues as it did take a Prime Minister it doesnt really matter that much he still is in office and thats a much more powerful place to be for him than had to be on the end of an election defeat all the 2 thalassemia negotiator has said the early results from israels election so annexation has won about a cock tweeted it is obvious that settlements occupation and apartheid have won the israeli elections thats a now his campaign was about the continuation of the occupation and conflicts which will force the people of the region to live by the sword a continuation of violence extremism and chaos thats written down our bill hes a scholar in residence at the american universitys center for israeli studies is joining us via skype from rockville. In maryland thanks very much for your time with us on al jazeera so when that said yeah well be able to form a government i mean the exit polls are suggesting right now that he could have around 59 or 60 seats so hell need at the facts and only get one its a great question rule we know about this tomorrow morning here in the coming days as there are no final results yet and as youve said every seat counts so 58. 00 a majority. 58 see block will not suppose he needs 60 or 61 and to count when others defecting right know all parties in the opposition have not signaled that theyre willing to join his his bloc and it will remains to be seen how. The final results are shaped and how that impacts the behavior of different parties on the political spectrum yeah and speaking of different parties the exit polls are also suggesting that the arab citizens of israel that party could gain 15 seats up from 13 so how do they leverage that in the israeli politics Going Forward and is that party able to stop netanyahu from forming a coalition. So its a great achievement through the Israeli Arabs definitely. Israeli arabs voted today it was the highest turnout in a long long time for them but 68 percent of arab voters turned up and voted and they increased according to these results the number of seats by 2 from 30 to 50 for the 3rd largest story in the 2 knesset and definitely it has an impact on the system and in a way if the results are as remain as they are now theres a good chance that this showing by the airport is will be the cruncher in terms of preventing that in you know from establishing a coalition so its its a great achievement of the arab parties how do you and theyre playing you how do you explain netanyahu winning this election i mean for a viewer as who are looking into this for international viewers. They think well this is a Prime Minister whos indicted this is a Prime Minister whos charged with corruption this is a Prime Minister whos going to trial in 2 weeks at his made this comeback i mean how do you explain that and do you think that this result will actually have an impact on his corruption trial and while he try to get immunity. So this is the great question of the little arrows showing that hes the you know the comeback chan did it and hes increased his partys lead in comparison to the Main Opposition Party by 5 seats and thats a. Quite a remarkable achievement for them to know and the thing is what explains this this victory is that its identity politics in israel today that people identify with the likud with the right wing or bloc much more than identify with the center left and the tea as a very Aggressive Campaign it became there was a protective also of the need to know managed to shift the discussion from his legal challenges to the political issues as the trump peace plan was a very helpful tool for him serving for him as he showcased it in the way house standing next to President Trump and that date was the turning point tristan pain and now we look ahead and this trial begins in 2 weeks the Legal Process cannot be stopped by elections but if you will have a majority in the knesset in the coming weeks in the coming months that will be able to and then he will obviously try to get an exemption from the trial right now its also theres a trial so that no change in that but definitely within hours will do his best tries utmost to try and prevent any legal classes Going Forward in the short term and Going Forward i mean you were mentioning the plan just a moment ago so if he were able to form a government then does this give him the mandate to implement parts of that trump peace plan that was outrightly rejected by the palestinians and many in the International Community i mean are we going to see a continuation of the netanyahu or right wing policies when it comes to palestinians and the addicks a center flange and so on and so forth. Thats a lot depends on the trumpet ministration in that respect because before the elections was jerad cushion or who urged the Prime Minister not to go ahead and then he unilateral moves before there are there is a stable government in place so the question is if the trunk of his russia will insist in the coming weeks on holding back the to now not allowing them to annex territory or perhaps of the side to go ahead and the next i think youll be waiting and i think were not going to see something in the in the immediate few weeks but as he manages to stay there to build a stable government then we might see a quick steps toward an extension ok we thank you dan arbella for speaking to us from maryland thanks for your time and your thanks to you and thank you for. Now to the democratic president ial race in the u. S. And amy close our has followed by dropping out potentially boosting joe bidens campaign ahead of super tuesday when 14 u. S. States heads of the polls to choose the democratic challenger to trump clovis are says hell support the former Vice President and the exiled man mayor had suspended his campaign on sunday his throne his weight behind bite and just ahead of a rally in dallas texas lets bring in john hendren hes joining us from Charlotte North Carolina thats one of the States Holding primaries today and then there were 5 john i guess just set the scene for us for what we expect to see on super tuesday. Thats right the field has narrowed dramatically and except for chelsea gabber who isnt really making much of an impact in this race at all for the major candidates are over 70 years old and white now and they are clearly the leaders in this race and if youre wondering why im standing outside of a seemingly abandoned arena that is because not long ago donald trump just left here where they pass a the crowd of about 8600 people were cheering on the president he loves to troll these democratic events and so hes shown up the night before super tuesday with about 9 hours to go here before the polls open at 6 30 am in one of those 14 states that you mentioned and he came here to rally his crowd so he could get a little of the News Coverage for tonight as well but right now all of the talk is about how that democratic field has narrowed what you had was a number of moderates all splitting the ticket and it sounds like the democratic establishment has gotten together and urged people to get out as a matter of fact joe biden told a reporter that he had offered Pete Buttigieg a visit in his administration his Upcoming Administration if elected and put a judge seems to have used that as a cue to get out of the race he said its important that people coalesce around a candidate. Who is capable of beating donald trump and its clear from blue to judges campaign that what hes talking about is joe biden who he endorsed tonight he is not a fan of the left wing Bernie Sanders portion of the party and any club ajar has also done the same but theres a Monkey Wrench in all of this planning for the democratic extension in that is Michael Bloomberg the billionaire candidate who for the 1st time will have his name appear on the ballot in those super tuesday states and that its a complete test that we dont know much about there was a poll here in North Carolina that showed that sanders was in the lead then bloomberg and then biden but none of those polls really mean anything anymore because nobody knows where the booty gedge and close voters will go so tomorrow the numbers that come out could truly be a surprise yeah rides on well let you go for now thank you for that update from North Carolina for the time being so lets just take a look at what super tuesday is and what exactly is at stake and heres priyanka group so. Its a long race to the white house and in a packed calendar of an Election Year the one day that stands out is super tuesday this year 14 states across the country plus a u. S. Surge of american some more are voting for their preferred choice of Democratic Candidates and 13 states are voting for their republican nominee democrats abroad are also voting on the democratic side its a crowded field of 5 hopefuls including former Vice President joe biden senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and former new york mayor Mike Bloomberg on the republican side its donald trump who wants a 2nd term in office was his main challenger former governor william weld and its all about the delegates whoever gets the most ends up becoming the Party Nominee for the democrats that magic number is 1991 and for the republicans its 1276 and more there is a lot at stake the super tuesday at least for the democrats 2 of americas most populous states california and texas with lot chunks of pledged delegates are voting their 1357. 00 total democratic delegates up for grabs so what happens on super tuesday can make or break the race for some democratic hopefuls in the foregoing weeks and months or be more primaries and caucuses all leading to the Democratic National convention in milwaukee in july and the Republican Convention in Charlotte North Carolina late august thats when delegates will gather to formally nominate their official candidates for novembers president ial election. Lets speak to james warren hes the executive editor of news gore and hes joining us via skype from chicago thanks for your time with us on the news hour so obviously there are many more states to go after super tuesday and over the next few months but super tuesday give us a anymore cool larry on who the nominee will be. I suspect not and if people are around the world watching or shaking their heads not quite understanding whats going on they should rest assured that most of us alleged experts arent sure either and weve been wrong for months and months about what would happen the likelihood that Bernie Sanders 78 years old left of center would be this strong for so long after being defeated by Hillary Clinton 4 years ago. Was not likely in many our minds we thought that one of the other more than 20 candidates of people whose names have now been for driving like center come on harris we californians might be stronger and then there is as your reporter just made clear in possibility at this point figuring out what hundreds of hundreds of millions of dollars of not just a billionaire but a multibillionaire one of the worlds probably 10 richest men Michael Bloomberg what the impact will be tomorrow is as he said the 1st time he will be on any of these ballots and when just doesnt know what the impact will be if you were living in the u. S. All youre hearing now on Radio Television on the internet is Michael Bloomberg commercials a stunning while you. Will see what impacts all that money spent actually has had but let me ask you about joe biden and Bernie Sanders and the endorsements by any club asar m. P. V. It isnt for joe biden do they actually help joe biden will they help during separatists length or. Put it another way do they hurt Bernie Sanders yes they surely in some ultimately measurable way will hurt sanders by solidifying the moderate opposition to him that then raises the 2 questions can sanders expand his left of center of face tomorrow on super tuesday and as we just said will who were actually have an impact in theory this has been a great 48 so. 2 hours for joe biden who started this campaign abysmally and to this day still has far fewer resources and infrastructure and personnel around the country then Bernie Sanders but in theory you would think that tomorrow the relatively few folks who are going to vote for who did it and they may quote which are will now be voting for biden and seemingly that will help him theres no real reliable polling in a lot of these states and looks to be fairly close the big state up tomorrow is california that has the most delegates by all accounts sanders is by far the strongest candidate there. We thank you very much sometimes warren for giving us your analysis and so i want to thank you. More ahead on the aljazeera news hour including.

The 1st china has reported another drop in the number of new coronavirus cases there were 125. 00 cases the tax rate in the past 24 hours thats the lowest number in 6 weeks however covered 19 as continued its spread beyond chinas borders so to arabia tennessean morocco senegal and jordan are the most recent countries to detect cases of the disease Victoria Gate and the reports. In the chinese city where the corona Virus Outbreak started Health Officials say theres been a drop in new cases for the 1st time in 2 months its closing one of weve had 60 new hospitals that were built in january to cope with the increase in patients but with 90 continues to spread elsewhere the World Health Organization says almost 8 times as many cases were reported outside china within 24 hours it says the best defense is still containment we are in unchartered territory we have never seen before just respiratory partridge and thats culpable of Community Transmission but at the same time which can also be contained with the right measures. The 3 countries worst affected outside china are south korea iran and italy rome is preparing a Stimulus Program to help the countrys economy in venice the canals which are usually packed with tourists are deserted its citys tourism board reports more than 90 percent of travel bookings have been cancelled in the capital as scientists in the United States are racing towards finding a vaccine president dont trump told pharmaceutical bosses he wants results within months today were meeting with the pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Companies the biggest in the world most prestigious the ones that get down to the bottom line very quickly to discuss how the federal government can accelerate the development of that scenes and therapeutic treatments for the coronavirus u. S. Scientists say the rollout of a Coronavirus Vaccine is at best a year and a half away Victoria Gates and b. Aljazeera. Lets get an update now from bring in a hes joining us from hong kong and i suppose you know good news if we can say that out of china that theyre reporting another drop in the number of new cases adrian. Yeah its worth remembering isnt it that there are now 9 times as many new infections outside of china than in it this time a month ago it was the other way around and i think these new figures will be seized on by chinas leaders as evidence that their draconian containment measures have in fact worked china of course has come under an awful lot of criticism internationally for the way it has tried to contain this fire is but a lot of Public Health experts around the world say that yes china was probably slow in locking down who had in the 1st place and should have done it sooner but what it eventually did it probably prevented a crisis on a much wider scale in other words many more people could have died now in the tory as report you heard from the head of the World Health Organization saying the world is still very much in unchartered waters he also said that the real problem now is not so much the disease but its stigma and weve seen evidence of that stigmatise a should here in hong kong where people have been protesting over temporary Quarantine Centers being built near their homes weve also seen the stigmatization of mainland citizens whove chosen to remain in hong kong rather than returning home here in hong kong weve also seen more evidence on tuesday of the damage being done to the economy of this city figures show that retail spending dropped more than 20 percent in february i was Walking Around the streets earlier this morning and i was struck by the number of businesses that have closed down we are going to see a Record Number of bankruptcies because this city rather like you know the people who move the people here are also paying a very heavy. Economic prize to contain this far as you know the border with china has been sealed now for more than a month schools are going to remain closed until the 20th of april and yes that is all beginning to take a toll all right adrian thank you for bringing us that update from hong kong lets cross over to rosen jordan shes joining us from washington d. C. To get an update from there because the we understand the number of deaths have increased rosalinds. Thats right the number was increased to 6 people all in North WesternWashington State those people all had preexisting Health Issues and thus were much more susceptible to this outcome when they contracted the car the car in a virus now what Infectious Disease specialist dont understand is just how long this particular strain of the virus has been circulating in that part of the country they fear that top perhaps thousands of people might have been exposed to the virus in recent weeks and so while in Washington State they have declared a state of emergency and they are making preparations perhaps for people who have been exposed to get a form of a quarantine set up if they think that is necessary nationwide theres still a lot of confusion there is considerable anxiety and the federal government here in washington is struggling to reassure people that not only does it have the situation under control but that there isnt going to be any long term impact certainly there is one concern about medications one whether theres a vaccine or any Vaccines Available to prevent people from contracting corona virus there is not and an Infectious Disease expert had to stress on monday that it could be a year and a half before such a vaccine is available however we did hear it seems me from the Vice President mike pence who said in a briefing on monday afternoon that it is possible that treatments for people who have contracted the corona virus could be available perhaps in the next 3 to 6 months but theres no guarantee that such drugs will be available and certainly the government has to be careful about releasing any medicines that could possibly do more harm than good so there is pressure building on the trumpet ministration and in the meantime people are basically trying to figure out what they can do to protect their families as well as themselves ok rosalind thank you for that update. A key adviser to irans Supreme Leader has died from corona virus as infection numbers surged again on monday the government confirmed another 12 deaths and 523 new cases dozens of senior government officials have now tested positive. Greece has denied turkeys allegations that its Border Forces fired on migrants attempting to cross from turkey calling it gross and deliberate misinformation reeses expanded its security presence at both its land and sea borders after turkey said it would no longer try to stop refugee johnson rubble us reports on the greek island of lesbos which once again finds itself on the frontline of the refugee crisis. Asylum seekers stranded on the north shores of lesbos some have spent the night out in the open police cant process them at the only refugee camp on the island in moria its been blockaded by angry islanders who want to shut down but moreas occupants arent happy to be here either. This was the latest of many riots this year asylum processing is slow and many have been living in tents under the olive trees for a year really very dark said it didnt sound very good back then i am certain of that this is very difficult to get everyone to set it free not that i got for example the good ones are going to need the dark and this is very important hundreds of morias Asylum Seekers recently much down to the port after receiving misleading or mistaken messages that the government was evacuating them to Athens Police had to turn them back this tense situation is likely to become worse as turkey has opened its border and is advice and refugees on its soil to go to europe thats the reason why this 15 year old from afghanistan is here he says. I have been in turkey for 2 months the smuggler called me in the night and said the party is ready get ready to cross over he said the border was open i could not cross for 2 months because the border was closed this video released by the turkish government suggests that the greek coast guard is no longer conducting just search and rescue missions but actively repelling boatloads of migrants greek coast guard vessels can be seen driving perilously close to small dinghies at another. Point it appears shots are fired into the water greece has released video that appears to show Turkish Coast guard vessels accompanying migrant boats to greek waters rather than holding them back until now greece and turkey were both working to keep undocumented migrants out of europe turkeys suspension of that arrangement has led to the suspension of other International Norms greece has declared emergency measures it says it will stop receiving asylum applications for one month and in many cases it will turn around on documented migrants and send them home without the usual reception and identification procedures so it will be as though these people were never here gree says these new arrivals on to individual applicants but part of an organized policy so International Asylum law doesnt apply to them as intended with so many islands so close to the turkish mainland greece has a difficult task defending its maritime border but the biggest losers in all this seem to be the Asylum Seekers jumps at all plus aljazeera lesbos turkeys president has been accused by european leaders if using the refugee crisis to pressurise them to support his military operation in syria. Are deployed abroad on says turkey will continue to target Syrian Army Positions in the province after 34. 00 foot soldiers were killed there on thursday and yes creating tension has meant that turkey and russia have come closer than ever to direct confrontation in syria both sides have sought to ease tensions. Because our sister. Id like to call on russia and iran one more time we do not have any problem with you and syria. But if the Syrian Government says do not withdraw turkey has determined as soon as possible they will not have a heat left on their shoulders.

Of the 2 democratic president ial contenders who dropped out have endorsed joe biden on the eve of super tuesday senator in a close on former south bend mayor people have thrown their weight behind biden just ahead of a rally in dallas texas. The number of coronavirus deaths in the u. S. Has risen to 6 as Health Officials across the country prepares for more cases meanwhile china has reported 125 new virus cases thats the lowest they live in number since january 21. Or the leader of the church at the center of the corona Virus Outbreak in south korea has publicly apologize south korea has the largest number for infections outside china nearly 5000 reports in the capital so. It was the 1st long awaited Public Statement by the founder and leader of the shin changi church the man he frustrated himself before journalists to say sorry never going to. Grow cause i dont know how to apologize to the Korean People i extend my deepest regret it wasnt intentional we had many new infections that we couldnt stop. The outbreak in south korea has cost new scrutiny on the church at the center of it seen by many christians as a secretive sect and turn the spotlight on its messiah like a leader who calls himself the promised prophet. It may appear christian but its actually different with a different doctrine and system they revere leaman he like jesus the leader who is a counselor who helps form a followers of changi such as and sue young who described the crowded conditions inside a typical Church Gathering im in here honey could you diploma you would be 5 centimeters away from the next person and you would have to say amen after every sentence the pastor speaks its the best environment for the virus to spread all of the shin changi churches have been closed and some have been attacked an online petition demanding the groups disbandment has well over a 1000000 signatures some local leaders have called for shinto in g. s elders to be investigated for possible homicide and for hiding the identities of some of its estimated quarter of a 1000000 members she in changi says its being unfairly persecuted and Health Officials have warned against driving the organization further underground that would make the tackling of this outbreak harder. Him none the government has done a lot to contain this and well do everything we can to support that effort. But the church still insists it has suffered the most with its members making up more than half of all the confirmed cases in south korea well but broad aljazeera so senegal has confirmed its 1st case off of corona virus in Subsaharan Africa a frenchman who lives in the country has been placed in quarantine after returning from a ski trip that the us hot is in the capital to a car where authorities have told the population its a panic. Its in this hospital right behind me that a french citizen infected with a covert 900 is being treated this is where a bottle of patients were being treated during the ball outbreak now the doctors that are treating him say that he is in stable condition he was on holiday in france he lives in the car he was there with his family on a skiing trip and he took a flight from paris to the car just a few days ago now the Health Authorities are calling on the public all of those that were on that flight to make themselves known theyre trying to trace all those that have been in contact with him dont have got to those bottles. The aim is to be transparent and keep information open so that we can prevent the virus from spreading along with this case in senegal there are patients infected with the current virus in algeria nigeria egypt and now tunisia the virus is quickly spreading in the World Health Organization fears that this is turning into a pandemic flu and i think the w. H. O. Has not declared a pandemic yet we could talk of a pandemic when there is sustained transmission which isnt yet the case would we fear it and its a disparate spectacle of it that we are preparing ourselves. Fear of the virus is spreading faster than the virus itself and so the Health Minister here is trying to reassure the population telling them do not panic senegal has gone through in a bull outbreak the difference here is whilst a bull was much more deadly coronavirus is much more contagious and the fear is if this continues to spread and affect countries with weaker Health System and that could be disastrous a grim warning has been issued about the wider effects of coronavirus the World Economic body the o. E. C. D. Says growth could shrink this quarter for the 1st time since the financial crisis in 2008 quarantine measures in china have hit supply chains Worldwide Companies like foxconn. Which makes apples i phone say the virus will hurt their bottom line Hong Kong AirlineCathay Pacific has put 25000 staff on unpaid leave in about half its planes are sitting on the tarmac its among dozens of airlines forced to suspend flights because of the outbreak several are warning of job cuts as well and travel restrictions have seen hundreds of thousands of students taking their lessons online or even missing class and thats hurting come countries like Australia New Zealand and the us which earn billions of dollars from foreign students for the playgrounds an economist and a former advisor to the director general of the World Trade Organization he says markets have failed to respond properly to the threat of coronavirus you see the disruption to spending in china and i think its likely to see. A very disorganized if any at all in the 1st quarter and since china has 20 percent of the Global Economy that it has an impact looking forward the virus is now affecting the rest of asia and increasingly the u. S. Europe the middle east and elsewhere and i think you can see 3 big in tax the 1st is on Business Investment this is a vestment which already had sort of stalled because of worries about the trade conflict between the u. S. And china and now faced with this its uncertainty disruption business is not willing to invest the 2nd is Consumer Confidence and you can see that people are canceling travel plans you know theyre not going out to restaurants that all sorts of events are being canceled and people stop spending and the 1st obvious these markets we saw markets collapsing and last week and that in turn makes financing conditions tighter for companies and it makes consumers feel poorer. Days after indias capital experienced its worst violence in decades the death toll is still rising 47 people lost their lives and more than 350 were injured during riots over a new citizenship law seen as discriminatory towards Muslims Police have been accused of enabling mobs and preventing wounded muslims from getting help Tony Berkeley reports. It was the seat of learning that became a target in last weeks riots this school in the predominately muslim area of most of the bad North East Delhi was set on fire by a mob repairs a hurriedly being done to allow students to sit their final exams in 5 days time the attacks happened after hindu nationalists incited violence following peaceful protests against indias citizenship law. Some damage will be harder to fix in the nearby al hin clinic victims of the violence wait to have their wounds treated both these men say they were shot while attending a muslim gathering his subordinate would have accused he said we didnt get any support from anyone the law failed us they didnt help us in any way possible or no we dont need justice from them we only need justice from our guard. During the 3 days of violence this doctor says he treated more than 600 people in this clinic and the injuries were gruesome all. Some people had bullet injuries while some had stab and it is white like parts like the hurt and lungs were injured. More than a week on and accusations are mounting of how police not only assisted hindu nationalists but also prevented ambulances from answering emergency calls to help wounded muslims we know that modern 40 people were killed in the violence and officially 350 people were injured what we dont know is how many were muslim and how many were hindu and so far the authorities have not released results of postmortem examinations to show how they died. The family of 23 year old fison want on. He was one of a number of young muslim men who were seemingly beaten by police in this video posted on social media he died in hospital of his injuries 2 days later i was shocked or maybe we suspected it could be the police army or paramilitary but we cannot be sure about who it was. The Police Arrested more than 800. 00 people they dont include senior members of the ruling b j p party the human rights activists accuse of inciting the violence one of the arrested a muslim has been charged with murder he says he was framed and was only defending his family to certainly a state sponsored program it is certainly a state sponsored targeted violence against muslims. There are concerns that right wing hindu nationalists who use the recent violence as an excuse to spread anti muslim feeling around the country. More than 150000 muslims live in the overcrowded alleyways of northeast delhi there is fear and apprehension that what happened 10 days ago is only a precursor to what lies ahead Tony Berkeley aljazeera must have a bird delhi china is warning the u. S. Against interfering with its journalists working there it comes after washington says it will half the number of chinese nationals allowed to work for state owned media in the u. S. The move is seen as retaliation to beijings decision to expel 3 wall street journal reporters over a call im critical of the governments yes indeed between china and the United States we have some differences but we do not sin is appropriate for the United States to step to take steps interfere in the work of journalists coming from china. The United Nations special envoy for libya has resigned from his position he says hes stepping down because of ill health some damage tweeted to say he is trying to reunite libyans and prevent foreign intervention during his time as the u. N. Envoy for the past 2 and a half years and the gallagher has more from the United Nations where it appears saddam is announcement via twitter took everybody by surprise. Certainly seems to have got out ahead of officials here at the United Nations that tweet going out they were then playing catch up essentially but this is a highly respected peace negotiator working for 2 and a half years to try and broker some kind of deal in libya ben this is a direct quote he said i simply cant take this much stress so now the u. N. Are scrambling to try and find a replacement in these vital peace negotiations lets just listen to what the u. N. Spokesperson had to say our focus now is on ensuring a smooth transition so as not to lose you know some of the momentum weve weve gained i mean the situation in libya is critical were seeing weve seen increased fighting we also saw different libyan parties being able to meet around the table. Is to say to me has made some great. Great progress we dont want to lose any of that momentum now they talk about momentum and they talk about progress but the real truth here is that mr salami was really floundering in what is an extremely complex situation youve got all sorts of foreign nations involved from france russia the United States u.
