Hello there im Julie Mcdonald this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes the Un Security Council meets to tackle the grim business of people trafficking as evidence mimes the trade is booming. Carefully chosen words pope francis avoids mentioning the residents of crisis during a key address in the last days you know this isnt. For. Him. And i repeat. All done and let me approach it were a kenyatta promises to unite kenya as hes sworn in for a second term as president. But in time for that coin the cryptocurrency sir just passed the ten thousand dollar mark for the first terrace and in peru well hear what motivates them to push their bodies to the absolute limit. Of their warm welcome to the news hour the u. N. Security council is holding a briefing on the libyan slavery crisis evidence has emerged that hundreds of people have been optioned in modern day slave markets in libya for as little as four hundred dollars maybe as the main transit hub for refugees and migrants attempting to reach Southern Europe by sea well have the very latest from the u. N. In a moment but first this report from burnetts smith. This is not where these migrants want to be heading back to the african continent thanks to a from the Italian Government to reinforce libyas coast guard its helped cut the number of migrants arriving in italy two hundred twenty two thousand in the last three months its the lowest total for four years but people Trafficking Networks in libya continue to flourish because of government chaos as rival groups battle for power. These are repatriated to the ivory coast from libya so they risk being sold into slavery oh its not forget about this all africans over there in libya they sell men even fifteen year old libyans are there in a car theyre armed the coming kidnap you and the so youve heard seventy to one hundred fifty dollars and then others will resell you i think theyre going to leave the ship as soon as you arrive in libya the first thing that happens is that you are taken away and sold our Black Brothers from west africa wherever you are from a million a cynical ease or any other nationality from the west even ibori and you are sold and for what seven hundred dollars but these moderates will tell you that life is so hard in their home country that its worth almost any risk to make a new start in europe now with the advent of the smartphone and with facebook and others pushing into africa a youngster can meet a smuggler in two seconds on the phone now that nothing is being done to challenge that they think theyre following a dream to europe they end up in the mall in the grip of these repay shoes smuggler despite increased patrols the u. N. Says more than one hundred sixty thousand people have made it across the mediterranean to york this year about three thousand have drowned on Bernard Smith aljazeera when i can is that the u. N. Headquarters is there mike so in a country like every which is essentially a failed state what power does the u. N. Have to help my. Well this is exactly what the u. N. Security council has been discussing and not coming up with any concrete measures at this particular point this emergency session was called by france which says that every effort must be taken to try and address of this massive problem of slavery within libya in particular the issue of sanctions was raised against individuals and entities also said the french ambassador before the meeting perhaps using the International Criminal court in short he said the councils got to explore every form of International Law in a way of dealing with this particular problem but as it is the Security Council not coming up with any immediate measures this could take days weeks even months before it comes up with some concrete way to address this ongoing crisis but whats very clear as well is that the issue of Human Trafficking is a consequence of not just the failed state of libya but also of image of migration of forced migration throughout the continent remember that some ninety percent of those fleeing crises in the rest of the continent actually pass through libya on their way to seek some form of safety i can with their lives from the end mike. See us if theres a Vice President i think were actually going to be able to go now to the Libyan NationalTransitional Council marty rabbies a former advisor to them and friend of the Libyan Human Rights Commission he joins me now live from urban california omar very warm welcome to the Program First of all can i gauge your reaction to the accusations of Human Trafficking on this scale in libya. Turby not to robbie but at any rate this is being going on for quite some time even the old regime the dictatorship struggled with what they called the five. Things that were going on. Human trafficking. Weapon trafficking. Used to be roaming around now isis roaming around and then you also have drug trafficking. There is corruption within the mediterranean european system as well not many people are pointing to that at this point with then they tie in infrastructure there as well and also is a country in in the mediterranean that no one ever points or pays any attention to the Little Island of malta there are from what i understand from that time frame like two thousand and six or so there were some Human Trafficking lord that were based in malta that made substantial amount of money trafficking people libya like many countries the border is a very porous very open its going to be extremely hard to control the borders what is really needed is. Work to institute a viable government in libya not a failed state the system in libya the government the libya is helpless libya doesnt even have any diplomatic corps in europe or in the western world that can actually reach out effectively if you have a home i said in my the nice and then that is. How does the u. N. Or any other International Body or country go up by shoring up a proper viable government in libya. The u. N. Has has made several mistakes in the past twenty four months i think and they can do a Coalition Government in tripoli and do away with the elected body in tobruk so what needs to be done it may take six months it may take twelve months but we have to build a system governing system in libya that we can trust ok many of european nations italian france the u. K. And then you go to the United States they do not want to put any equipment on the ground because they dont trust havent these equipment are weapons or machinery in the hands that may or fall on the wrong hands so were suffering because of that so there has to be a system to have a Security System border Security Systems in place. That can function so everybody looks at this and says how do we do this how do we make it work without havent a functioning democratic democratic is a is not the word these days a functioning government in libya its going to be very hard to institute anything the border is a very wide open so its going to take a lot of money its going to take a lot of effort and it just cant be superficial the Security Council has to raise the issue of borders in libya much higher because its going to cause many more people twenty two thousand and thats still a substantial number of people coming across the border to italy and theres going to be many more that all are on to some new guys later on what we can just why are we hearing about this not you know we obviously from your perspective and from many others that weve spoken to over the years here on aljazeera weve known that this slave trading if we can call it that is happening so why do you think this is come to the fore now and will it make any difference that at the moment its i was there circulating on the international media. Its been happening and its been there if its just because c. N. N. Picked it up two weeks ago it doesnt mean it hasnt been going on its been going on for quite some time even the dictatorship. Regime was not able to deal with it effectively and there were some systems that were supposed to go into place in fact there were substantial payments paid to large european and american firms that are in the security business in excess of a quarter billion dollars that didnt go anywhere they were frozen that whitman still sits in tripoli in some places so theres gotta be a much more effective way Going Forward libya is right in the center of the Mediterranean Sea and its a very important nation there whether you like it or not something has got to be done that stupid government in tripoli doesnt know what theyre doing and you know i want to point something very important i would hear libya does not have effective contact with the European Community you have embassador in holland that doesnt know even how to speak english you have one in italy doesnt speak italian you have one in london has no contact with the British Government these idiots sit in their embassies and do no effective contact with the European Community or the european government you have a charge an affair in washington that doesnt have any hardly any contact with the u. S. Government so theres got to be got to be some kind of an overhaul of the foreign contacts system from libya on to that in the world so that we can get some affective work in handling libyans borders it is not going to be easy its going to take a lot of money is going to take a lot of effort and only when it gets really bad is when this you cure it comes is going to say were going to step in and do something about it its going to take is going to take us the again to take a lot of money its going to take surveillance by you know by airplanes but on the ground by sea this is a very large nation the third its the size of the one third of the united. So its going to require a lot of work omars hurdler joining me for we do it early in convenes in california omar were going to have to leave it there and you so much for joining me omar turby there former adviser walk into the Libyan NationalTransitional Council the founder of the Libyan Human Rights Commission thank you very much for joining me sir u. S. Vice president mike pence says President Trump is actively considering when im hired to move the u. S. Embassy in israel from tel of if to jerusalem a controversial move is something trump has previously valued that he would to complete how could joins us live from the white house hi there kimberly so what exactly then is pence been saying. Well certainly this is caught many by surprise given the fact that in june donald trump signed a waiver effectively postponing that pledge that he made on the campaign trail to move the u. S. Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem certainly this is significant because the statements the suggesting the possible not signing of the waiver by the president in the future is significant given the fact that Vice President mike pence made these comments on the anniversary of the seventy years since that u. N. Vote creating the jewish state and anniversary that was marked in new york city and while for the past twenty Years Congress and successive administrations have expressed a willingness to move our embassy. As we speak President Donald Trump is actively considering when and how to move the American Embassy and israel from telling the. Cameras. So we can really why is he saying all of this now. Well because there is an imminent deadline julie of early december for the president to sign that waiver once again you heard the Vice President there talking about how for twenty years this is something that has been done in the u. S. Congress will in one thousand nine hundred ninety five is the u. S. Congress that effectively mandated through law that that embassy should be moved to jerusalem but all of the president s since then have signed this waiver citing National Security as a reason for not making that move but now we have the president up against this deadline of early december and whether or not to sign the waiver that has been the tradition and also has really been an International Consensus for some seventy years that jerusalem is an International City so now there is the signaling by the trumpet ministration perhaps that waiver will not be signed certainly this is going to cause concern not just for some in the United States but of course also the palestinian position has always been that any move of the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem would be a violation of International Law and also could set off unrest not just in the occupied palestinian territories but also in the wider arab World Committee out of their life in the White House Committee thank you pope francis says voided mention of man was written jim is the minority as he appeared alongside the countrys leader aung sun suu chief the paul potts touched on the wreckage of crisis but he never directly named the ethnic group as widely expected he insisted me and mark should respect the rights of all ethnicities scott hyde the reports.

The future me and my must be peace a peace based on respect for the dignity and rights of each member of society respect for each ethnic group and decided to take respect for the rule of law and respect for the democratic order that enables each individual and every group next clue did to offer its legitimate contribution to the common good.
