Phil turkish lawmakers passed a bill allowing the country to deploy troops to wartorn libya aimed at shoring up the government a triple lead in tripoli against the socalled Libyan National army. The bill call despite objections from turkeys main opposition groups. The bill was expected to pass through parliament, and eventually it did, giving the government a green light for oneyear military deployment. But not before heavy debate in the house with opposition parties arguing vigorously against it. Libyas internationally recognized government, the government of National Accord based in tripoli, is a regional ally to turkey. Last friday, the turkish president received a request for militaryry assistance from the u. N. Backed nation. The government has been facing off against the rebel forces leading a rival administration preparing an assault to tank the capital. The general has already taken control of the south suburbs and has support internationally from egypt and russia. The fighting has threatened to plunge libya into violent chaos not seen since the ousting of muammar gaddafi. Some 2000 people have been killed in the conflict so far. Ankara says by intervening, it wants to reduce the risk of further instability in the region and protect its cultural commercial ties. Meanwhile, nations on the other side of the break and are concerned any fororeign interference could lead to more civilian deaths and a new wave of refugees making their way to europe. More on this from a Political Science professor who specializes in middle east politics and joins us. Welcome, professor. How would a turkish Troop Deployment shift the balance in libya . I think it i is going to jt get other actors involved like rurussia and egypt. The way i see it,t, shifting the balance i is just going to maket morere of a proroxy war and we l sesee the violence escalatate, d thisis is going to be particulay hahard on civilians. When we see conflicts g get inteternationalized likeke the conflilict in yemen, y you staro see civilian death tolls go up, so i dont see this as particularly good news for anyone in libya. I think this is just going to escalate things further and get these proxies more involved in this conflict. Phphil whatat does turkey wantm this . Turkeyy is trying to prevevea geneneral from takaking over t e entirere country. They recently signed a maritimee agreement so they could carve out the drilling rights of the mediterranean. They are feeling more isosolated economicallylyecause of some trtrade deals s that had takenee , and t they a also have been benefiting from construction cocontracts that they had b been gigiven by the tripoli governmet whichh had been financially lucrative. E. Ththey also fear he is targeting ethnic turks a and ethnic turks are t the biggest ethnic group after libyans and berbers, and there were caseses of ethnic libyan turks beingng arrested ad bebeing targeteded because theyd even bombebed the town of this router was has an e ethnic turkh element tot. T. Beyond the facact that turkeyy s want to have a greatater spheref inflfluence in the regionn, they are also o worried about whahats influence could mean for the ethnic turks living in libya as well. Phil we think about their actions a month or so ago in northern syria. Are these linked in any way . As turkey has p personalizezd its regimime, as it has become more about argan abouou erdogan and there are fewer checks on his power, we have seen turkey y become more aggressisive with its foforeign policy. It hasas become about syria pushing the u. S. Out of syria. I think what we are seeing is a turkey that is willing to try to exert a bigger sphere of influence, extending beyond just ththe middle east, going i into northh africa, and i dont think thatat there is anything that is goining to happen that t will sp turkey because within its own government, though there was some vigorous debate, erdogan has complete control over the government and over his party.

Flowers and candles after more than 30 animals were killed when a fire broke out. Many have come to express their sympathy. Everyone who knows the zoo is sad, even outside of germany. It is always bad when something so terrible happens, no matter where. I was here almost all day yesterday because i could not bear the sadness alone. It helped to see so many mourners here, and i cried. I could not have started at home. I could not have stood it at home. A total of eight apes were killed, including europes oldest g gilla, who o was 48 yes old. Thee fire broke out shortly a ar midnight. The enclosure was also home to fruit bats and birds. Police believe the fire was caused by a sky lantern launched for new year. A mother and her two daughters turned themselves into authorities shortly after the fire, reportedly unaware of the fact that sky lanterns are banned across germany. The people wanted to set off these lanterns with good wishes, and of course they did not think that could lead to what happened here. I must say, i think it is courageous of them to go to the police and say, yes, we are responsible. I find it extremely decent, and they have my respect. The ape enclosure burned to the ground, but two chimpanzees managed to escape the inferno. The two survived the fire with minor burns. We dont know how that happened. They within sedated and moved to another enclosure. While craig felt zoo remains closed, investigators are examining how the blaze spread so quickly.

The kenyan governments plan to close it has been postponed repeatedly. Humanitarian aid for the camp has been considerable over recent years. Our correspondent reports on whatat this means for people inside the camp. Rice, yellow beans, some cooking oil. That is the food ration this family is supposed to survive on yet another month. She says life in the camp has become even more difficult since the food Program Reduced their fofood distributions because of budget cuts. The agency can only afford to provide 70 of the recommended fofood intake. Nowow we are very desperate, and there is no care, no food at all. How can we survive if wewe dont have food . We have peace here, but we dont have food to survive and no health care. The p people have been living on the threshold of emergency for nearly three decades now. With humanitarian organizations struggling to provide basic services in the face of dwindling donations and funding, they say their situation has consistently worsened. Refugees here fear the world has simply forgotten about their plight. Kenyan log restricts freedom of movement and forbids refugees working herere. This means more than 200,000 refugees in the camps, most of them women and c children, deped on ever scarcer humanitarian aid. Aid workers in the camp are concerned they are being neglected. It iss not only the food that is affected. It is also a proroblem like heah services, education, wartime sanitation. All of them are affected. She has been holding out forr a month withher baby dadaughter who suffers from malnutrition. She urgently needs s a solution. If i could supportrty family, i would notot have to come here. Only someone who is helpless goes to the hospital. No one else wants to be at the hospital. Her son cannot be treated by doctors here. He has a heart condition that needs special treatment and resources are not available e in the underfunded camp. We are dying in this camp. Nobody is taking us anywhere. I cannot help myself, and nobody is treating my spohns illness. Every night, we wonder if we will die or not nobody is treating my sons illness. She hopes she will be resettled to a place where her son can be treated. All she wants is the life of an ordinary citizen, not a refugee. Until then, she hopes people, politicians, and agencies will start remembering them again. Phil hong kongs police chief has defended his departments actions amid allegations of disproportionate use of force to restrain the crowds. Activists to support the demonstrations but fear for their future. Dw has been speaking with one of them. We have changed her name to protect her identity. The new year has begun like the old year ended hundreds of thousands of people marching for political reforms. Alyssa has been active in the prodemocracy movement. It has changed my life. The protest movement has let me move forward. If i missed this, i would not have another chance to experience all of it. Thats why it is so important that i am here. Alyssa risks alluha akbar protesting. She was already arrested once three months ago and still awaits trial. Prospects will dim further if she is detained again. The protest movement includes all walks of society, but the young are the most committed. Competitive school exams, a race for the best universities and a tough job market in one of the most expensive cities in the world. They face a lot of prpressure. She is 16 and has struggled for years with anxiety a and depressision that she blames mainly on pressure in schohool. The movemenent brought t colr into my lifee. It made me feel my life i is meaningful. Since her arrest, her anxiety has returned, although she says she has not been violent, being at the site of clashes was enough for her to be charged. The family has been under immense stress since then. Neither she nor her father use their real names. Every time s she goes out, i worry a lot. Im anxious. I guess parents are like that, but then i also cannot lock her up. At the beginning, the march stays peaceful, but suddenly the mood shifts. Teargas. Please move slowly. Many protesters leave the scene while front liners confront police. Alyssa is in a dilemma. She wants to help the frontline protesters, but she knows what is at stake. Because i have been arrested before, if i go to the front line, i need to be very, very careful. Nevertheless, she decides to take a look but to get out as soon it gets tense.

I like a a woman who has a sense of humor. Wewe enjoyed talking t to each r and, slowly, as we got to know eachch other better, i started liking her a lot. That chemistry has made them one of the most successful couples in wheelchair dance. They are currently ranked number two in the world. But to perfect their dizzying moves also takes hours of training. Their trainers are ablebodied volunteers who also perform with wheelchair users. Vincent and ivy are part of taiwans last generation of polio survivors, dancing as a way to keep up their physical fitness and to help fight thehe effects ofof the illness. For us polio patients, physical deterioration can happen quite quickly. To exercise, we are hoping to slowow down the s speed of deterioration.
