Unmanned drone called the horn and also are more vehicles and fighter jets as it almost seemed that. The United Arab Emirates has been supporting the warlords Khalifa Haftar since 2014 in fact it has an air base in the eastern city of el manage to support have to the military campaign. Head live in the libyan capital tripoli thank you very much indeed lets go to rob reynolds out and washington now this is a report thats emerged in the New York Times what are the state department saying. Well the state Department Gave us a statement after we contacted them about this report martine and a spokesperson said we take all allegations of misuse of u. S. Origin defense articles very seriously we are aware of these reports and we are seeking Additional Information we expect all recipients of u. S. Origin defense equipment to abide by the end to use obligations and what that means essentially is that when the United States and a country like the united ever Arab Emirates reach an agreement to purchase and sell sophisticated weapons like these these were made by the big giant defense contractors Lockheed Martin and raytheon the receiving party in this case the United Arab Emirates pledges that they wont sell the sophisticated equipment to another party or to people like general have to are warlords essentially so the state Department Spokesperson went on to say that the the u. S. Supports continued mediation by u. N. Officials and that only a political solution can stop the violence in libya so its unclear as to where this will end up will there be action taken against the u. A. E. For what appears to be a transfer of the sophisticated equipment to a warlord we dont know at this point the fact finding is still going on we one thing we do know from past experience over martine is that President Donald Trump is quite keen on u. S. Arms sales to countries like the United Arab Emirates and saudi arabia and he has made those a priority so whether this would result in a complete cut off as a punishment for the u. A. E. Thats getting a little ahead of the game but i think that would be quite unlikely all right well. Thank you for that well now we can talk to Douglas Ollivant tuesday in Falls Church Virginia hes a defense analyst and managing partner at the Consulting Firm international at the site for talking to us and is a surprise given that its very well known that the United Arab Emirates supports general. In this conflict in libya to see that weapons of come from abu dhabi according to the pictures anyway to general have to. Just to see that yet again the United Arab Emirates that the emirates of course general has star is a no known the emirates would choose to violate the terms of u. S. Weapons sales rather than say transferring weapons from china or russia that dont have these terms attached to them is slightly surprising that the emirates would feel again you have these reports are true that the emirates with them feel that it cant transfer these weapons without consequence or believe that they would be undiscovered are neither of those seems very likely in the long term right i mean ive just seen the the pictures the Television Images that have been broadcast by libyan state media and they do clearly show weaponry with the stamp of abu dhabi is being the recipient of what are Lockheed Martin. Made armaments how serious if indeed this is the case that the United Arab Emirates has broken this end user agreement how serious is it if theyve breached that arrangement. Well my guess is that the congress will take it very seriously when the u. S. Congress approves a weapon saying to a Foreign Government approves a certain Weapon System in a number of those systems to a certain government being very cognizant of what that does for military balance in the region so for a government to take those weapons and then transfer them to someone else for whom they were not intended i guess says the u. S. Congress will take that quite seriously and then them what is within if Congress Disapproves if you know what is what is it what all the courses of action that are available to congress well in theory congress could then disapprove future weapons sales of course there are their disapproval of certain sales has been overridden ata mergence the grounds by the administration recently before the long term normal practice of routine weapons sales were congress to note that they dont abide by the terms that the real issue for future sales of us on the phone thank you very much good to tell it thank you my pleasure. Weve got a lot more to come on this aljazeera news hour including. Protests in south korea where the u. S. President is hoping to meet kim jong un at the demilitarized. Shaken into action how the philippines government is preparing people for a big earthquake. And in sport far i will tell you about the player his father warning shot ahead of wimbledon details coming up. The president is now in south korea as a president as a guest of the president hoping to have a meeting with the north Korean Leader mcbride from seoul. President donald trump in seoul for his long anticipated visit with the future direction of relations with north korea in the balance. He is the guest of the south korean counterpart moon j. N. Whos been a significant influence in encouraging dialogue with the north but since fabrice failure of the hunt only summit between President Trump and kim jong un the processes stalled north korea has returned to some of its hostile rhetoric and seems to blame south korea in part for the failure in hanoi for south korea a successful trump visit would help restore moons position as an important into me jury with the u. S. Administration or i think theyre also interested in sending a message to north korea that the man still has some sway with the administration. When the administration is perhaps willing to move and be a little bit more flexible than the North Koreans can believe him the highlight of this trip is expected to be. Trumps visit to the Demilitarized Zone separating the 2 koreas and the intriguing prospect of a meeting with kim jong un after a saturday morning tweet that he would meet him at the border just to shake his hand and say hello trumps visit has been greeted by competing protests on the streets of seoul right wing groups among them veterans of the korean war a firmly in support of the alliance with the u. S. And welcome its president although some are uneasy about the prospect of a handshake with kim on the d. M. Z. Weve been fooled for decking i think the fact that were still talking to kim jong un and trusting him at all is a problem in itself. But a number of liberal left wing groups are also out protesting in opposition to trump is it they say hes standing in the way of peace by keeping in place sanctions against north korea by continuing military exercises between the u. S. And south korean forces. After the 1st u. S. North korea summit north korea destroyed their Nuclear Facilities but the u. S. Did nothing and trump sank the hanoi summit more pro and anti trump protests are expected as this weekend unfolds with everyone it seems unsure exactly how this visit will play out Robert Bright aljazeera soul.

Military rulers have accepted proposals to work towards a civilian led government that this is a proposal thats come from the African Union as well as a. So thats a kind of breakthrough but yet the opposition calling for a demonstration the calling for maybe a 1000000 people to come out to the streets in order to keep up the pressure for change and Rights Groups they want safety guarantees from the military following the killing of around 100 protests as earlier this month when ive been speaking to the former a former deputy ambassador u. S. Ambassador to. His name is david shane and he says competing interests are making the difficult. Well the key is always to trust but verify or frankly no one has any choice but to go forward with this and hope that indeed the Transitional Military Council is sincere about pursuing an agreement with the opposition one must keep in mind that it represents many many different groupings in the sudan so its its really not realistic to expect them to be in full agreement on everything this is to some extent a disorganized group but on the other hand its surprisingly well organized in view of the slasher they continue to put on the military and to move forward with this important breakthrough of continuing negotiations and trying to pursue an outcome that will avoid the the deaths that occurred on june threes so its a very important step forward for the military could play a waiting game and this is where organizations like the African Union the government of ethiopia which deserve great credit for moving this issue forward come into play in addition to the entire International Community and the United States putting pressure on the Transitional Military Council to to take all of this seriously and to move forward with a democratic transition in sudan which is in the interest of everyone.
