Question of identity Kashmiri Muslims what it will be reduced to a minority as new delhi allows outsiders to settle in the disputed region. The un secretary general has warned that the conflict in libya has entered a new phase with foreign interference reaching unprecedented levels and tony as was addressing a virtual session of the Security Council on the violence ahead of the session russias foreign minister said hes in talks with his counterparts in turkey about a possible ceasefire now this isnt the 1st time the wall kloof has considered a ceasefire it so last month after his forces began losing their major strongholds the libyan conflict been fueled by a number of International Backers the u. N. Recognize government in tripoli has been backed by turkey has had support from russia egypt and the u. A. E. Hes not on our side in libya the conflict theres a new phase is foreign interference reaching and dissident that levels you have very concerned about the a lot of the military buildup on the cd and the a level of that if i dont think the theaters in that are fully in violation of u. S. Arms embargo all u. N. Security Council Resolution and that they need months made by Member States in the early ok lets go live to our diplomatic editor james bays add the United Nations james in very very strong statements that were made at this at the start of this meeting but of course the question will be what happens now yes and you heard the secretary general say how unhappy he was about the situation worse reminding you the secretary general in recent weeks has been taking personal charge of the situation in libya because his previous special representative garson salami resigned his post in the said recently that he feels he was stabbed in the back he came up with an International Plan for libya that he put to that conference in berlin 6 months ago but many of the Security Council members were not on board with it they get paid it lip service but in their actions were supporting something very different and that was supporting general half and his move on tripoli and certainly a similar point was made by the German Foreign minister marse because germany as the host of the berlin conference has been pushing a political process and mr maher said things really have to change ships planes and trucks with weapons a mercenary is kept arriving in libyan cities. Ladies and gentlemen it is time to stop this cynical absurdity foreign interference remains the main driver of the conflict in libya it must be prolix to an end that means no more planes no more tanks no more trucks or cargo ships full of weapons and no more lice. Well where her furrows planes and cargo ships been coming from well on one side you have turkey which has been supporting the government of National Accord which is the internationally recognized government although people say that that still isnt a reason to send in forces and send in weapons in breach of an International Arms embargo certainly turkey defends its position because it says it is supporting the internationally recognized government and turkey has been very successful in recent weeks pushing general half that all the way back from the doors of tripoli all the way back to sirte on the other side involved militarily you have the United Arab Emirates you have egypt you have russia which has mercenaries even in recent days the u. S. Has reported that russian planes have come from syria to libya bringing in weapons and mercenaries to the area around sirte and to the area around the Libyan Oil Fields and then the last player is also a permanent member of the u. N. The Security Council perhaps not as involved militarily frances ambassador speaking right now in the Security Council certainly seized it seems to see are you to why with the u. A. E. They seem to have a growing alliance strategically with the us a and certainly a recent meeting between president pak mccraw and president putin they seem to have quite a line views on libya so france or more tacit support or we think of general haftar or were of course going to be sitting across that meeting as its happening but for now our diplomatic editor james bays at the United Nations thank you very much indeed. Well more than 3000000 americans have now tested positive for covert 19 the latest figures come as the trumpet ministration moves to withdraw the country from the World Health Organization the u. S. Secretary of states mike pompei oh says the organization is failing in carrying out its core function we are not going to underwrite an organization that has historically been incompetent and not performed its fundamental function there theres a real focus on the failures that took place around. The World Health Organizations fundamental inability to perform its basic core mission of preventing a Global Pandemic spread you know White House Correspondent kelly hall that is following developments 1st of all on the move of the u. S. Withdrawing from the w. H. O. It sounds from what might compare was saying there that this is quite definitive and that theres no going back. Thats not entirely true well the process has begun and that is certainly the indication that is being given by the trumpet ministration it wont take effect in terms of this withdrawal of the United States from the World Health Organization until july 6th 2021 a lot can change in the next year including a u. S. Election that could put joe biden in the white house as president potentially undo this we know that democrats do not feel comfortable with the move by the trumpet ministration to withdraw from the World Health Organization theyve called it short sighted dangerous that it will really hurt the United States when it comes to influence in the global spear so i think its safe to presume that should there be a democratic president this may not go into effect having said that right now we have a republican President Donald Trump and his secretary of state has been very clear that is their intention if donald trump does win reelection that the United States will not be part of the World Health Organization having said that the other thing that needs to happen in the next 12 months is the United States needs to pay its dues in full before it withdraws its one of the biggest donors contributing a very large sum and right now at least half of that remains unpaid and this all happening of course as the number of coronavirus cases as we mentioned continues to rise in the United States. Yeah continuing to rise arizona being one of the big hotspots thats being watched as well as florida where we should point out the u. S. President in spite of that is set to attend a fundraiser on friday but whats really of note are some of the president s responses particularly contrast that to the guidance of his Public Health officials including the centers for Disease Control or c. D. C. The u. S. President once again coming out defying their recommendations to essentially pump the brakes if you will on getting schools open in the fall for children now the concern is from scientists that if you reopen these schools and we know the science now is that a lot of that transmission the droplets in our breath and poorly ventilated areas like schools that this is where things can really get out of control so the centers for Disease Control putting in place some guidelines that they would like to kind of slow things down make sure that things are clean before the schools are reopened the u. S. President not liking that at a pair of tweets he has said that he wants to round up pressure on state leaders that the opening of schools are crucial to the economy and even suggesting he may withhold federal funding from some Certain School districts if they ignore his recommendation that these schools need to reopen so a very astonishing sort of point of exclamation by the u. S. President going in defying the recommendations of his own Public Health leaders that we have a briefing of the Coronavirus Task force going on right now the chair mike pence the Vice President saying that watch shortly because there will be some guidance for reopening these schools even as Public HealthOfficials Say that is the wrong approach and to not go too quickly on that that more needs to be done to ensure the students are safe and company hold good White House Correspondent is with us from washington d. C. Kimberly as always thank you very much. Well the u. K. Government has announced a 37000000000. 00 mini budget aimed at saving jobs and pumping new life into the economy battered by the pandemic businesses are being offered a 1300. 00 farlow bonus if they bring stuff back on in full time work until january the government has scrapped a tax on properties above 500000 pounds thats around 630000 dollars and then eat out to help out scheme has been introduced but as a pacing restaurants will offer half price meals every monday to wednesday throughout august and theyll be reimbursed by the government within 5 working days john halls got more from bogner regis and west sussex its an area hit hard by job losses the signature measure here along with other measures to stimulate Consumer Spending and to encourage employers to keep their staff on the signature measure here is this job creation scheme the kick start scheme the government effectively paying a salary up to the minimum minimum wage of young people under 25. 00 for the 1st 6 months of their employment employers then taking over after that in the hope of keeping them in work getting them in work rather than having them in Unemployment Benefits and trying to avoid a sort of failed generation as a result of this crisis heres what we have to say. People need to know we will do we can to give everyone the opportunity of good and secure. People need to know that although hardship lies ahead no one will be left without. So today we act with a plan for jobs our plan has a clear goal to protect support and create jobs it will give businesses the confidence to retain and hire to create jobs in every part of our country to give young people a better start to give people everywhere the opportunity of a fresh start yes the costs have been enormous and the government here just adding yet more tens of billions of dollars to a build ready wrapped up close to 200000000000. 00 spent since lockdown came in in march the government since then says its helped 11000000. 00 workers to retain their jobs or at least to retain their sources of income a 1000000 businesses big spending pledges on infrastructure and Public Services and all of it deeply necessary of course in unprecedented times with this country facing a slump in g.

Mexican president and there is Manuel Lopez Obrador is set to meet with the u. S. President in the coming hours thats a meeting thats officially about trade but the summit in washington is already provoking a mixture of an bewilderment i know in a part of explains why. Mexican president under this one brotherhood is meeting with u. S. President donald trump this week at the invitation of the white house but what would normally be a standard meeting between 2 World Leaders has stirred criticisms but. By sickly there is an election season underway in the United States and the mexican president s visit could be misinterpreted but also over the years President Trump has expressed many offensive things toward mexico and mexicans this is why many people have a deep distrust and reject the way President Trump has treated us. President trump is not very well liked in mexico and much of that has to do with his past rhetoric regarding the mexican people when mexico sends its people. Theyre not sending their best theyre bringing drugs theyre bringing crime theyre rapists and mexico will pay for the war. One to get that attitude soured further in 2019 when President Trump threatened mexico with export tariffs unless mexico agreed to carry out a strict militarized Immigration Enforcement policy since the start of his administration 19 months ago mexican president under disciplinary Lopez Obrador has sought to avoid a political conflict with President Trump opting instead for a relationship built on pragmatism for either way that the visit scheduled for wednesday is the 1st time the 2 president s will meet in person does visit out of their lives void we can talk about baseball we can talk about a lot of things everything without confrontation because its a political meeting i think youre probably going to have a tough critics of Lopez Obrador to say the mexican president is making a mistake by sitting down with trump who many in mexico regard as racist and anti mexican a recent poll however found that while few mexicans are fans of trump a majority favor lopez over the meeting with the u. S. President with many hoping the trip will help improve a bad economy. Going on in mexico there are many who do not look kindly at our president attending this meeting but there are those who understand the weight of the economic agenda and recognizes the economys the result of political negotiations between leaders theres not such a thing as friendships between countries and geopolitically their own interests. President lopez of another says the focus of his u. S. Visit is to mark the launch of the us mexico canada trade agreement or u. S. M. C. A.
