Trial of former world. Starts in paris with the 86 year old facing up to 10 years in jail. The leaders of libyas warring sides are in russias capital for talks after a cease fire time into force its raised hopes the warlord relief after and the Prime Minister of the un recognized government. Will begin to find a path towards ending years of civil conflict International Diplomatic efforts to end the fighting have stepped up in recent weeks a truce brokered by turkey and russia came into force on sunday morning. That libya has been torn apart by conflict since long time ruler Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011 its divided between warring militia groups which mostly backed the 2 rival governments the un recognized administration led by Prime Minister. Is based in tripoli now its supported by turkey and most western nations including italy which is worried the fighting near tripoli will. More people to cross the mediterranean in the east is the to brook based government thats the center of power for warlord who before hafter hes backed by egypt saudi arabia russia and the United Arab Emirates france is also accused of providing military support to his forces now we have 3 correspondents covering this story mark good up there why it is in tripoli jamal the show is in the turkish capital ankara 1st though were going to go to moscow and step by step what can you tell us about these talks during anything yet. Awhile stan we are now waiting for a press statement by both the foreign minister of russia and turkey after this meeting which has now been going on for more than 4 hours now and we are not only waiting to hear what are the what is the outcome of the negotiations after these long talks but also what has been the format of these talks have. Actually met face to face or have they had sat for talks with the ministers russia and turkey to ministers of Foreign Affairs and the fans of course these are very important talks brokered by turkey and russia in istanbul last week and theres also talk that the witnessing of a possible signing of this cease fire which has come into place on sunday more morning will be also attended by a delegate from the United Arab Emirates and also by egypt of course these cease fire this cease fire is very important to pave the way for this International Conference on libya which is scheduled to maybe even to take place in less than a week from now in berlin is to as you mentioned the cease fire in the be a brokered by russia and turkey or what you if you could to take us through russias role here the influence that russia had particularly 1st of all in supporting Khalifa Haftar but then also getting him to the table for these talks. Exactly its very interesting to see how quickly russia and the president putin have become a broker a power broker in this conflict in libya quietly russia has been supporting a hell if i have to already for more than 3 years money for his informal government in the libya has actually been printed here in moscow lodges that Logistical Support was given but only a couple of months ago from around september mercenaries from the socalled walk no group or russian mercenaries have come to libya in full force and have also contributed to the fighting which basically changed the power balance in this conflict significantly positioning russia together with turkey in this in this role as as being is brocas which is very interesting because a similar kind of development of course happened in syria so both syria turkey and russia have positioned themselves very importantly and its not only a role as a piece a mediator or a power broker but also economic interests here are at stake and russia of course is also interested like turkey is in the oil fields in libya and its interesting also to know that these talks are not attended at all by the United States and theyre just watching from the sidelines thank you for thats the person live for us in our moscow jamal a child is going to join us now from the turkish capital ankara and small the question i was just putting to to stick there i can also put to you weve heard about russias influence tell us about the role that turkey has played critically in a conflict that is in many ways a proxy conflict for international powers. Well i mean to understand turkeys role weve got to rewind all the way back to 2011 and the arab spring where you had different regional powers essentially taking different sides of what became a very clear line drawn in the sand on one side was an attempt to maintain the status quo to prop up a tarion or military regimes that had ruled the world for decades and on the other side where those who were more supportive were sympathetic towards the Popular Mobilisation of people who were calling for reform or to some extent regime change across the arab world turkey found itself in the camp of the nazzaro and it was probably one of the only regional powers that actually invested significantly behind that at least politically speaking in terms of the rhetoric that was coming out of its leadership but if were coming back to today and whats going on in libya turkeys interests you could categorize into 3 different sections there is very evident economic interest with regards to not road sources that exist in the Mediterranean Sea and we saw that come to light in the bilateral treaty that was signed between both tripoli and im current terms of demarcating those maritime borders between the 2 so you have an economic interest there there is a security interest in not libya on the court meyer that it has become obvious he has an adverse effect on the stability of the region and obviously theres also a humanitarian perspective with regards to the fallout of any war in terms of migration thats occurs from there so those are the 3 key interest that will be pursuing obviously in the context of turkish politics jamal thank you. Mahmud up the wall had now joins us live from tripoli amok would a lot from you is. A rundown of what were seeing on the ground there and how this ceasefire has been holding if at all. Well stern it has been really holding it has been very quiet on the front lines in southern tripoli today and with the exception of the deployment and regrouping goodby have to the forces in many axes in southern tripoli thats according to military sources with a government of National Accord other than that it has been very quite notably quiet and here in tripoli in. The only operational airport in the city has resumed. Take him there fortunately of the deescalation atmosphere that has prevailed over the past 24 hours all eyes today in libya are on more school to see everybody here is anticipatory to see how this meeting will conclude the conclusions of this meeting but meanwhile there have been reactions here in the west of libya especially from several institutions. State institutions. Parties Political Parties activists government governmental and nongovernmental organizations but all have the same demand they are demanding that half the forces pull out from southern tripoli as a prerequisite for any peace deal or peace negotiations with the world really for have to remember a stand that the government of National Court has repeatedly requested that have those forces should. Pull out of tripoli to go beyond their location they took control on april the force as a prerequisite for any peace negotiations it was have to start mahmoud thank you for that now were going to take a look at why this libyan conflict has wider consequences for the region its become a major Transit Route for migrants and refugees to europe e. U. Governments want a stable country to. Stop the flow of people crossing the mediterranean now theres also a new maritime border deal between libyas internationally recognized government and turkey that carves out a corridor between the 2 potentially clearing the way for oil and Gas Exploration greece egypt and israel oppose that agreement and libya is sitting of course on vast oil wealth of its own its known reserves are among the largest in the world at nearly 50000000000. 00. Is the founder and director of the static institute a think tank specializing in libya in a phase he joins us live from london its good to have you with us are you optimistic about these talks in moscow. Regretfully im not and i think theres a i think as a good reason for that i think its the substance of what may come from the truce and its how you make it a meaningful one i mean the demands are quite clear from the genocide the International Recognized government tripoli which is the half the onus to move back his forces to be april 4th positions those are the positions that means that he almost has to lose everything that he has gained in of a comma since he moved on tripoli 9 months ago and thats going to be very important to have there because he wants to freeze the conflict and use his current positions as leverage and the threat of resuming the conflict at any given moment and thats the 2nd part of this that im on this problem which is that over the last 9 months there have been no it condemnations have come from the International Community from the u. N. Or from the e. U. And have there is moving with an almost palpable sense of immunity from sanction from condemnation from resuming the conflict so what do we do if this truce breaks and weve already heard that late last night there were certain moments where it was a fragile truce and it can be broken into tripoli and the 3rd element of all of this is what have their uses this is a moment to kind of take a fresh look at the conflict replenish the supply lines that isnt there to supply lines on the ground and then use that to resume the conflict now with fresh troops with a strategy that accommodates what has come from talk of support over the last month thats going to be very very all of these issues are going to be here for grabs and it really means that the fruit of this deal about how they move their forces back is going to rest on whether or not its going to be a successful were a failure does it not rest of the on us on here what youre saying about have to and some of these reservations and what hes ambitions maybe big crucial to this isnt the the lib region of russia supporting after getting him to the table and turkey of course supporting the government of National Accord those 2 countries a going to be critical of the. To a certain degree turkey has given the military support of the g n a and thats critical that is leverage if they were to take military support or wait in the g. And a would be forced to negotiate but if russia takes its you know hundreds of mercenaries that are there what is half there left with his left with a u. A. E. Drone base that had operational since 2016 in the east of libya according to the New York Times responsible for 2 thirds of the death toll in tripoli he also has generated so the news mercenaries that hes brought in over the last year and so theres Ground Forces in those military forces in addition to a french veto that he has used that both the e. U. Level and the u. N. Level to move the meeting so russias support is is useful in critical but only on the back of support from the u. A. E. Egypt as well and france and i think in that respect we overestimate russias influence here we should remember that you know the 1st call they made 45 days ago to stop this war was refused but after until putin called in the u. A. E. And presidencies egypt and then the move to turkey then the move to to russia took place so we shouldnt forget what the phone calls were made and who else has leverage in this war indeed and i was talking about it thank you again for your insights today.
