Un back to government has already signed a cease fire deal hoft are currently controls the majority of eastern and southern libya the berlin summit follows failed efforts by russia and by turkey to get him to sign a truce and halt an offensive on the capital tripoli i have a lot of players here we want to bring in Political Correspondent simon young for a look at what will likely be a very high stakes summit in berlin simon 1st of all just walk us through who is likely to attend this meeting and just as importantly who likely wont be there on sunday. Yeah its going to be a very high level meeting unusually so with so many leaders chancellor merkel has invited heads of state and governments are going to have president mccrone of france Prime Minister johnson of the u. K. But also secretary of state pompei o from the United States and the egyptian president sisi the turkish president or the one and Vladimir Putin of russia has also said today confirmed that hes coming in addition to that youve got various International Organizations the e. U. The u. N. The African Union and so on as well as the leaders of the 2 warring factions have also said that they will be here on sunday so it will be an extraordinarily high level summit as to those who arent coming yes tunisia is very unhappy that it hasnt received an invitation especially surprising because i could mass the German Foreign minister was there recently and he acknowledged that tunisia has been one of the countrys most affected by the conflict in libya so thats a bit hard to understand the other country that unhappy i think is greece theyre very worried about and in energy deal deal covering gas in the mediterranean thats been signed between libya and Turkey Greece is worried about that would like to be here the german position on that is saying that issue is being dealt with elsewhere in the council not at sundays meeting certainly a big and important guest was there despite those missing tell me did more about this conference now or is there a chance that be could see either peace or at least some sort of cease fire come out of these meetings on sunday. What the main focus of sundays called for and so i think is only International Partners the backers of the 2 warring factions to get them to commit not to say and troops and arms as theyve been doing to the various sides are the one side youve got egypt rusher in the u. A. E. Supporting general have to are on the other side turkey in particular supporting the unity government in tripoli and its very important the those countries be able to speak in find a common path other countries of also go to interests because of the role materials in libya and also the fact that that countries become a conduit for refugees if you can get those those countries to agree there will be good and obviously the 2 warring factions need to reconfirm that theyre sticking to the ceasefire our i did of you Political Correspondents simon young thank you very much now those libyan cease fire talks will take place right here in berlin on sunday in d.
