From what we are witnessing in terms of the massive influx of weaponry the crittendens and mercenaries to the 2 sides the only conclusion that we can draw is that this war will intensify and broaden him deep devastating consequences for the libyan people as the foreign intervention increases the libyans themselves are getting lost in the mess their voices crowded out we must not let live vs let a went she said it was civilians paying the price 58 killed and 190. 00 injured since the 1st of april and 89 percent rise in civilian casualties compared with the 1st 3 months of the year she said the vast majority were the result of attacks by general half his forces she said it was regrettable that at the end of april the general had rejected the International Peace plan and claimed he alone had a mandate to rule the country libyas ambassador whose loyal to the government of National Accord was scathing about half duff and one of his Main International backers the United Arab Emirates we wish to inform your own firm discounts that we have damning evidence of direct in the legal transfer of these specific weapons to libya by the United Arab Emirates.

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas says palestine will not be bound by agreements with israel and the u. S. Because of israels planned an exception of 30 percent of the occupied west Bank Addressing an emergency meeting about describe the us as israels partner in crime and he called for countries that have rejected president trumps middle east peace plan to recognize the state of palestine and impose sanctions on israel under trumps deal israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could begin and extend Palestinian Land a soon as july early abunimah is cofounder of the electronic intifada author of the book the battle for justice in palestine and he says the announcement by a boss is meaningless. Well theres 2 important points here one is the creation of the Palestinian Authority was allowed by israel after 993 for one purpose and one purpose alone which was to create a native palestinian auxillary to. Basically implement the occupation on behalf of israel and that is and has being the role of the Palestinian Authority since its creation israel allows Palestinian Security forces to have guns but those guns are only to be used against palestinians and so the agreements are basically that the Palestinian Authority acts as a an Exemplary Police force for Israeli Occupation forces now thats given the title security coordination thats the polite name for it thats given in the agreement. And ive been asked the head of that has announced ike i cant remember how many times that his sister ending this agreement or that agreement and the fact is hes never done that hes never suspended an agreement and indeed this evening as were speaking Palestinian Authority sources told the israeli newspaper haaretz that in fact a security collaboration between the Israeli Occupation forces and the Palestinian Authority is continuing and will continue and the reality is that the Palestinian Authority move a salt shaker from one side of a table to another without the permission and help of the Israeli Occupation. Taiwans president has just begun delivering her inauguration speech calling on china to find ways the 2 can coexist sign when i was sworn in the short time ago Independence Party won elections in january by a landslide promising to stand up to china it claims that time warners its own and has fought to keep it from being allowed to join global organizations well lets get more on this from our correspondent rob mcbride who joins me from the south korean capital seoul and rob this organ or inauguration really marks incredible change in political fortunes for side. Absolutely it was just a year ago that she was way down in the opinion polls her partys policy of trying to walk this tricky more independent line from the much mightier Mainland China next door simply was backfiring it seemed against this tiny island republic of taiwan china was using all of its vast economic and diplomatic weight and muscle to further isolate it president xi jinping of china was even talking quite aggressively that little taiwan was going to have to accept one way or another that it was going to be reintegrated back with the motherland possibly under the system of one country 2 systems form of shared government now if that sounds familiar well thats exactly the same sort of government thats in place in hong kong it has been a very easy a form of government and last year of course it simply fell apart we saw mass protests on the street a very violent protest and people who were watching that closely than anybody else of course were people in taiwan coming to the opinion that they dont want to go down that kind of route with air force or a surge in popularity for size you want a massive landslide in the january election and then of course coronavirus happened in the 2 very different marked approaches between taiwans approach and Mainland China really has pointed out the differences between the 2 types of administration and for taiwan want to applaud its from around the world and so you have now president side both a whole broad but also more importantly perhaps at home really riding very high in the opinion polls and of course what it all comes at a time of increasing hostility between china and taiwans traditional ally the u. S. And specially when you have the president saying in a inauguration speech that she wants to bolster ties with the u. S. Japan europe and other like minded countries. Thats right she really seems to be exploiting the fact that it has won recognition for taiwan its a approach to the coronavirus and of course the us alliance has been quite a fickle one under the administration of donald trump but recently of course as relations have soured then inevitably taiwan has been drawn closer to the United States we have secretary of state mike pompei o passing on his best regards win best wishes at this inauguration so we can expect to see closer cooperation between the u. S. And taiwan in economic and military terms but also probably from Mainland Chinas point of view a more saber rattling weve already had recently more exercises military exercises in the straits of taiwan and we can probably expect to see more of the same in the coming months. In seoul thank you. Still ahead here although it is a race to evacuate millions in the storm bearing down a bungler the india. Why the recent recovery in u. S. Oil prices is no cause for celebration. Hello there friends what weather across much of asia to the north you can see the can stream across areas of japan and a silly few showers to clear but it was a very nice day for the reopening of this Cherry Blossom park 2600 trees 52 varieties normally sees about 2000000 visitors during the month of may because it has been shopping it has opens now and fortunately through wednesday this punch of heavy rain into that particular area of japan it is carrying steadily away but the really heavy rain is the central and southern i was the china particularly on thursday this could cause some local flooding some flash floods and the rain pushing down into the coast of hong kong but also are all the way in taipei as well in fact much of taiwan.

U. S. Oil prices a rallied over the past 3 weeks after turning negative for the 1st time in history the recovery is due to a dropping global output and an easing of some coronavirus lockdown restrictions but prices are still far from this years peak and limited by the cove of 19 our break as john 100 explains. In less than a month or oil has gone from worthless to barely profitable in these days of coronavirus fueled economics it is enough for u. S. President donald trump to tweet or oil energy is back. The worst oil market in decades appears to be stabilizing somewhat for 2 reasons massive production cuts by saudi arabia other opec countries russia and the us and a cautious increase in buying in china and the us as their economies begin to reopen it just above 30. 00 a barrel prices are still half the 60. 00 a barrel at the start of 2020 you know i listen. To the yeah you see for ya arse and say well. Then thats pretty slim margin you know east and you have oil flowing again. But its not like rumor or. Loss but for now its enough to allow Us Shale Oil Producers to come near breaking even last month the benchmark u. S. Crude west texas intermediate fell to negative territory as the coronavirus shut down travel that left some sellers buyers to take oil off their hands and with many producers now just breaking even there will likely be more restructuring then for some bankruptcys. But there is one major threat to prices a glut of stored oil aprils historically low prices led to a massive oversupply with producers filling storage tanks in places like cushing oklahoma to near capacity waiting for higher prices hope is. Just a whole lot and then released but yes. Its going to keep a lid on price looks worse. That capacity threatens to grow worse with tankers filled with 50000000 barrels of Saudi Arabian crude expected to arrive in the u. S. In june. With major Oil Producers slashing production it might not be anywhere near the end of the coronavirus price crisis but producers hope it could be the beginning of the end john hendren elders era chicago.
