Since the blockade of qatar by its neighbors well look at how the dispute is being played out online. All creatures great and small we look at the world biodiversity plays in our planet on the unprecedented threat its now facing. Im going to go with the sports. And so on. And i will do better and i will be part of the solution. And quarterback drew brees another apology after being criticized by fellow accolades for his comments on u. S. Protests. And we begin this news hour with developments in libya where fighters linked to the government of National Accord are celebrating after retaking the city. Thats the last stronghold of wallowed Khalifa Haftar in western libya about 65 kilometers from the capital tripoli on thursday the u. N. Recognize government announced it had regained full control of tripoli as forces still hold a lot of swathes of the territory in the east and the south of libya head as the latest from talk. As you can see here. The Government Forces are out and now it will control. When. Absolutely victory the defeat of half its forces in the city of. Now by losing. The major loss to some homes in western libya as you know that. Swift. Of this attempt at whom the swift seizure of this city off the huna is mainly attributed to the Turkish Military support for the Government Forces and also there was drool of. Russian medicine rees from the bagnall group have been fighting alongside after forces now. This city the city afternoon at about 75 kilometers south of the capital tripoli is very strategic very significant from here after his forces had a Central Command over the past year and from here Russian Military expects i dont agree with him arace and Egyptian Military experts have been supporting have to they run the battles build on the battles in southern tripoli from the sets of Central Command and the city of the who now from ted who now have to his forces received Ministry Enforcement reinforcements and also military supplies over the past year well earlier i spoke to someone commenting whos the editor in chief of the online Magazine International interest he says the capture of to her no means the end of hostilities months long offensive to seize tripoli. Has those offensive on no trip really had 2 key strongholds into it was launched from 2 key strongholds the 1st was on what the air base that was taken not too long ago and the 2nd was. After the fall of a lot of those forces knew that they could not hold on to tripoli offensive. Began to withdraw some of their troops and dont want to or the news from taiwan or comes after the g. N. A. T. Went to moscow and after the meeting between and again and said i was the president of the g n a where its believed that turkey and russia are now negotiating a framework of cooperation so i want to today its unclear whether it fell because of the military attack by the d. N. A. Forces or whether this is part of a negotiated exchange between the russians and between the turks with regards to libya but in terms of its significance it means the end complete end of half that as a tripoli offensive and the military solution that has been offered to those powers that wanted a military solution is no longer on the table and were back to the status quo as it was before the beginning of the tripoli offensive east and west this summer you say that this is significant in terms of the balance of power by to have to are still control significant parts of libya itself so what happens next are we likely to see some sort of resurgence from halftimes forces. I think its important not to get carried away with i dont know theres a lot of people very happy with that and of have there is a military solution and anybody who wants to negotiate a political solution should celebrate the fact that half the tripoli offensive has failed however as you said its important to put it into context this is the end of half that is bid to completely win in the civil war this isnt what were seeing today is a return to the status quo the stalemate that we saw for many years between east and between west and this prospect of an military campaign eastwards is very unlikely and the reason i say this is that the biggest dynamic is not necessarily in the military terms the biggest dynamic is the change in power brokers its no longer eat you its no longer European Countries its no longer u. A. E. Or egypt or these countries its now russia on the eastern side and turkey on the west and say almost a repeat of syria in the sense that these are the countries that are going to be pushing the parties to decide what the future of libya should look like and thats why were hearing talks of partition talks of autonomous regions talks of a status quo whereby the west will be turkey influenced d. N. A. And east will be too broke influenced russia so in other words what were seeing today is not a complete halt alternating of the dynamics of the war were seeing a return to the status quo that was in 2001000 before the start of the tripoli offensive and the road ahead to find some sort of solution to the war is still very long and if anything even more complicated now because of the of the ferocity of the International Struggle a resurgent u. S. A very angry france a confused germany and italy that is scrambling russia which is asserting itself turkey which is now the dominant power in other words it looks far more complicated and far more complex than it looked through 2 or 3 years ago. Ok let me take you to the u. S. Where 10 nights of nationwide protests have given way to a song or Memorial Service for george floyd his life was celebrated in minneapolis by civil rights leaders and family members while thousands of others across the u. S. Paused to remember him his last words i cant breathe become a rallying cry against Police Brutality and systemic racism john hendren reports from minneapolis the Minneapolis Police chief took a knee is the hearse bearing george floyd past a barrel of respect for the man whose death at the hands of his officers launched a national movement. Inside a minneapolis Memorial Service george floyd was remembered as a family man a gentle giant who would doored his 6 year old daughter giana now fatherless its crazy. All these people came to see my brother. Thats amazing to me that he touched so many people hawt. He was also remembered as the spark that set off often fiery protests in more than a dozen cities across the u. S. A movement the reverend al sharpton urged mourners throughout the country to continue its time. To stand out in charges made and say good job and meet. This crowd of hundreds of people didnt come with invitations they came to pay their respects to george floyd and theres such a demand to do so that there will be multiple Memorial Services one in his state of birth North Carolina on saturday another in his former hometown of houston on monday and then a funeral on tuesday. As the memorial took place a key demand of the floyd family was fulfilled 3 of the Police Officers who detained floyd in his final moments faced hearings for new charges of aiding and abetting 2nd degree murder the 4th officer derek show been who knelt on floyds neck saw the charges against him elevated from 3rd degree murder to 2nd degree a charge that suggests the killing of floyd was intentional but for those mourning the 46 year old man the charges mark just the beginning my brothers gone. With the floyd nice to live soon as floyd family prepares to take him from his adopted home city for the last time the demonstrations that began when he uttered his final words i cant breathe continue john hendren aljazeera minneapolis. Ok lets go to our White House Correspondent kimberly halakhah kambli the have been some incidents overnight but in washington d. C. Its been mostly peaceful but now the d. C. Mayor wants the National Guard i would tell us about that. Thats right there has been pushback between the between back and forth between the u. S. President and mayor mariel balancer a democratic mayor of course the present a republican president for some time but it really has been intensified with these protests the argument being from the d. C. Mayor that this is a street in a city that has been militarized and she doesnt want these soldiers on the street now the reason the u. S. President can put federal troops in the District Of Columbia is because its not a state its a federal enclave which means while there is a mayor the federal government has oversight is able to oversee the jurisdiction so the mayor is pushing back any way she can with any legal means she can and the latest effort has been to push the National Guard troops staying in hotels in washington d. C. She says that they will have to leave in that they will be evicted now it is important to point out that well these trips have been here the rioting that weve seen in other cities has for the most part disappeared in fact there wasnt even a curfew in washington d. C. Last night and it has been peaceful well the protests continue there hasnt been the rioting the looting the this sort of destruction of property that has been occurring in other cities so the argument is theres no need for these National Guardsmen anymore but they are made from the white house says yes there is the reason its peaceful is because these soldiers are here and here believe the president s heading to the u. S. State of maine today a time when new job numbers or road whats going on there. Yeah we had expected more bad Economic News so everyone was surprised including the president that the Unemployment Rate in the United States didnt increase it decrease in fact there were 2 and a half 1000000 jobs created last month in fact the u. S. Presence was so surprised he took to twitter as he always does and called an impromptu press conference that will be taking place in the next hour to talk about these jobs numbers and of course he congratulated himself on twitter and then lashed out at the Presumptive Democratic president ial nominee joe biden saying the only one that can kill this comeback is Sleepy Joe Biden the bottom line is the president is always made the argument that he is the president that creates jobs that he can turn this economy back on was a Strong Economy until coronavirus hit and now he feels he has the ammunition and of course hes going in front of cameras to talk about that hell also beat as you pointed out traveling to maine thats important to note because this is a battleground area just like some of the other previous visits he made this is to a swab factory that helps with those testing kits for coronavirus expect that he will use this opportunity this photo opportunity to once again tao what he sees as success and why he believes he should be reelected for another term in the White House Security hole could give yourself up to trial lawyer to his Committee Thanks very much indeed. Well the new york state to Police Officers have been suspended after a video showed them shoving a 75 year old man to the ground it happened in the city of buffalo as police were clearing the area where the protest was finishing. The elderly man is in a serious but stable condition in hospital the citys mayor says hes deeply disturbed by the video well the state governor condemned the incident as quote utterly disgraceful lets talk to kevin powell hes a filmmaker and a civil rights activist in these joining us now from brooklyn in new york via skype kevin i want to talk to you about the idea of the video that weve just seen from buffalo there of course the 75 year old man who was pushed by police was a white man its not just black people or people from other ethnic minorities who are affected by Police Brutality is it. No its not were talking about a reckless disregard for all human beings this is a white man a white brother 75 years old hes an elder a Senior Citizen and the problem is the way that Police Officers are trained oftentimes violence is the 1st course of action as we saw with your george floyd in minnesota as you saw it was elder man in buffalo new york as you see was having a lot of protesters i mean just last night i was on the floor of one of my friends was in a bit of a protest in the box here in a bit of a live feed the protesters were peaceful and the police still rushed them and still arrested several people its and brutalized people and its all on Facebook Live isnt even almost like theres no care for how people are being treated. As youre talking were watching a rerun of the video that features the incident involving the george floyd and of course when incidents like that do make it to the national and International Media that sparks the whole conversation but i would imagine there are many more incidents which are of course not caught on camera give us some experiences that youve been through or that you know about of police that Strong Police action shall we say which have not been caught on camera. Well youre absolutely right i believe ive been both a writer and civil and human rights activist in america for 30 years and so ive literally documented many cases of Police Brutality racial profiling that never had any were never videotaped never filmed where police up killed people with people have been paralyzed because of the police even when i was 15 years old as a kid as a youth in this country i got it i was assaulted by a Police Officer you know mean a young boy had an. Altercation boys fight but it was nothing bad it was no nothing dangerous at all but the Police Officers in a face no repercussions whatsoever and so we need to understand unfortunately in our country Police Officers are not looked at it as they say they are which is to protect and serve but instead of kind of like an occupying and Hostile Force to our communities and were seeing it now even as people are protesting peacefully in many places everything is not rioting and looting or to put is this as being put out there by some people its actually many protest many acts of civil disobedience and the spirit of dr king and the spirit of gandhi and spirit of Nelson Mandela and still Police Officers are coming insulting people and that said that we have a very serious problem with how Police Officers are trained in this country and some police would argue that they are formed at least in part by the experiences and the treatment that they get on the streets from a wide variety of different communities is the work to be done within the communities to try to change that aspect of it. I think the work needs to be done on both sides but i think that you know when you talk about the police you know how are you trained you know how to relate to people of all different backgrounds you have a working understanding of all different types of people you know doesnt matter if theyre white black brown yellow red whatever their background is you have respect for human beings because our taxpayer dollars are paying for you to protect and serve not to us for us to live in fear of you thats the problem and in terms of the community the community is actually reacting to a history of behavior that we feel have been highly problematic this is thats something thats new the system start with george floyd this has been going on for many many years and what were seeing now with this mass outrage in america we have seen as kind of protests and since the 1960 s. During the days of the Civil Rights Movement because i think that when you look at it now people off backgrounds and because of social media are saying my gosh look at what has happened over and over again enough is enough which spies exploding so the police work for us we dont work for the police we need to be very clear about that and so the people who really ultimately be accountable be brought back to the table to be retrained and also listen to the community and our concerns are the Police Officers we really appreciate your giving us your time kevin powell thank you very much and david thank you.
