We begin with the diplomatic moves ahead of the summit in berlin on sunday to try to end libyas civil war was told met with the Prime Minister of greece turkey. Regional rival of a country thats been excluded from the summit russia and turkey who support opposite sides in the conflict will be at the conference which will try to end the fighting between have task forces and the un recognized government of affairs. Both have expected to be in berlin but russia is downplaying chances of a peace deal globality the most important thing now is that after the berlin conference if everything goes as planned and the Security Council supports the conclusions from the conference if the libyan sides do not repeat their own past mistakes and start adding any additional conditions and blaming each other as of now the relationships between them are very strange they dont even want to be in the same rooms let alone speak or meet each other meanwhile the fighting continues Libyas National Oil Corporation says that its warehouses have been bombed by after forces lets go live now to tripoli syrias of the 100 with us from the. Start with Libyas Foreign Ministry there are reports that it wants. To join the talks in berlin. Will. The Foreign Ministry in tripoli has sent an official letter to the German Embassy in tripoli requesting that both qatar and tunisia be invited for the talks we know that the government of National Accord is keen to include both countries to achieve some kind of balance facing the other delegation supporting the warlords really for have to do as you know adrian that at least 4 countries supporting the warlord tell if there have to are invited to take part in the 1000000000 talks on sunday including the United Arab Emirates egypt russia and france so by this move the government here in tripoli is trying to achieve balance that tunisia is very important to take part in these talks as tunisia not only as a neighboring country and being impacted and affected by the ongoing crisis in libya but it has been also hosting thousands of libyans if you g. D. And as for qatar the government says that qatar has been all supporting the freedom revolutions in libya since 2011 and the government believes that qatar is a key player in the peace talks in berlin meanwhile were getting news here in tripoli reported by a local television saying that saddam might not attend the billing talks on sunday and instead he might send a delegation we know that so large has been under pressure over the past few days as you know adrian that many allies in the west of libya allies with. Have been requesting that have to the forces. Must pull out from southern tripoli as a prerequisite for any peace talks also the fact that the western a camp led by so large has only turkey as an ally in the berlin talks compared to. 4 countries supporting catheter on the other side also the fact that they have to did not sign their cease fire called in most School Despite the fact that both the. Prime minister saraj and the head of the High State Council signed the cease fire called in moscow this has resulted in a kind of frustration a lack of trust here in the western a camp led by the Prime Minister to face a large so its remains to be seen whether or not there German Government will respond to the astrologers request and invite tunisia and qatar to these talks but would otherwise have lived there for us in tripoli al jazeera says following the story from athens he says that the talks are focused on greeces strategic concerns in libya. We still dont know whether theres going to be any statement after the meeting between general have tyler and the Prime Minister and that meeting is still ongoing as far as we know but we do know what was said earlier in general have to his meeting with because then there is the foreign minister mr then the us told reporters after that he and general have to have agreed that among general have to us aims at the peace conference to secure a cease fire and security in his country should be the pursuit of the. A blockade against any other reaching the warring sides a departure of foreign mercenaries that have played such a large part in this war and also in an old mint of the maritime jurisdiction agreement reached by crafters rival the government in tripoli with turkey last november that is an agreement greece has taken particular objection to because it infringes upon areas in the mediterranean that greece also sees as its maritime jurisdiction belonging to its eastern asian islands and so it wants that agreement and all that is its main concern in these talks but of course it is aligned with its European Union allies and partners in wanting International Law to prevail in libya and an agreement thats acceptable to all sides meanwhile Khalifa Haftar has written a letter to russias president Vladimir Putin thanking him for his efforts in trying to resolve the libyan conflict ill just step boston and moscow has more on that. The press service of the kremlin has just made public that i have to have send a letter to president putin to reaffirm his willingness to go to moscow again to continue the dialogue the peace talks and he also said mr president my dear friend i wish to express my personal gratitude and appreciation to russia for afeard stores establishing peace and stability in libya and this is all of course very interesting because this latter comes a little over 4 days after have to pretty much embarrass president putin after he left moscow there were peace negotiations going on for more than 7 hours so russia the Prime Minister of the u. S. Backed government in libya had signed this cease fire agreement and have to ask some time until the morning to think about it and then suddenly in the middle of the night left moscow without any signature so this was seen as a failure of course for moscow and for president putin and this latter now seems to be a safe face saving operation to make sure that russia is back in the game. Well libyas been torn apart by conflict since long time ruler Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011 thats divided between warring militia groups which mostly back to rival governments the un recognized administration led by Prime Minister fares also. Is based in tripoli but its supported by turkey and many european nations including italy which is worried that the fighting near tripoli will force more people to flee across the mediterranean than in the east theres the brook based governments the center of power for the warlord coming for half the who is backed by egypt saudi arabia russia and the United Arab Emirates france is also accused of providing military support to his forces riyadh and smith is managing editor of Libya Analysis and says that those attending sundays berlin conference hoping it will bring about a breakthrough for a lasting cease fire well originally the idea of the conference was actually folks on the international axis and given that International Act is all a strange country dreams are huge driver of the current conflict now that was the initial im sorry to agree that the u. N. Arms and body which is in place on the bia could be in force at the moment isnt being however what weve seen over the last week when russia and hickey facilitating a cease fire between set up and have to on the ground there as you simply only reports it not necessarily completely being imposed on the ground now said i signed that deal in moscow on monday after i did not so i think the main media outcome of the vote in conference and yet as i say from paul is i have to also agree to these trees and i can integrate its hands that will allow the ceasefire you monitor it and see a semblance of peace to reign and thats really the for us who is meeting to it some kind of disco process or even getting the 2 act is in the same room together to be able to discuss possible ways forward.

Killed the top military commander qassam sala mahdi earlier this month holiday went on to urge calm after protests over the accidental shooting down of a ukrainian passenger plane he told worshippers to be wary of western misinformation. Members of the treats for its u. S. Government keep repeating that they are behind the people of iran but a lawyer even if theyre standing by iranians its only to state the poison degas into the hearts of the iranian people. Are serious as had begun tehran was there for that speech. How many had a number of messages sometimes its for a domestic audience and other times its an International Audience to criticize the European Countries that is started that trigger mechanism of disputed in 2015 nuclear deal and taking iran to United Nations he said that he never trusted them like a steel hand in a velvet glove thats a very famous line of his that he uses a lot from him is not only the spiritual leader hes the theologically date hes the political leader of iran and him attacking the europeans like this could signify a change in attitude and how iran deals with those 3 European Countries and especially the 2015 nuclear deal he criticized western powers saying that they care about they claim to care about the people in iran and he said that about the millions of people out in the streets during the funeral of general costs and so the money you know he hasnt spoken in since 2012 but he this is the context for this is that he had widespread antigovernment protests back in november weve had the assassination of general cos and so the money the head of the good force he had to rein in retaliation targeting u. S. Targets inside iraq and then we had the downing of the Ukrainian Airline by any Iranian Missile after government death to the government here denied it for about 3 days so theres a lot of tension he usually comes out to rally support and calm the situation down and thats essentially what hes done today here in iran. Is editor in chief of the sons decisions he joins us now live from tehran good to have you with a sponsor as we said this is the 1st time that the Supreme Leader has led friday prayers in 8 years why now. Hello and thanks for having me well as a matter of fact it was very much important because as your reporter said iran has been experiencing a number of events some shocking actually in the last few days or the last couple of weeks you know after surprising number of people somewhere around 25000000 people took part in funeral procession of money. That needed to be a 2nd image sent out to show that the reigning people are spending and to great it and in support of best opposition after a few 1000 people took out to the streets of following the ukrainian passenger plane incident and the western Media Outlets saw hard to magnify their image to pretend that iranians are divided as if they are equal to 25000000 people why there were no more than a few 1000 so theyll run needed to show of the strong support that that the public support is too deep and deeply rooted and too strong to be held back or swayed back because of such events also it was pretty much important because it showed the lines of policy of tehran you know the assassination of money is understood here. As it as a plan a plot by the United States to weekend irans power in the region forced into iran to the negotiating table when the iranians supremely there is stress today that tehran needs to reinvigorate its military power he was showing that the assassination has backfired on the u. S. Since iran is going to move the opposite way and reinvigorate its power in the region ok so and so are all the reasons which made them and pretty much you know important and i was going to ask you the stuff what with the what were the standout moments in the Supreme Leaders speech for you. Well. This standpoint here was the last point i just said that iran has decided 1st of all to reinvigorate that military power in order to attain the objective that is it has been stressing ever since. Theyve been saying that expulsion of the us forces from the region is the ultimate goal and the objective the strategic objective and sentenced today and the viewpoint of the leader show that iran is a Standing Firm in that regard also with regard to the ukrainian passenger plane he showed a very serious stance saying that investigations should continue to fishel should continue their probe into the incident also they should improve the systems and the air Defense Systems in order to avoid. Similar accidents in future so he showed very much you know care about this incident but still i believe iranians were shocked of course in the last 2 weeks and some parts of the Society Might have been you know still in the shock so they might have been feeling some kind of passiveness but the iranian supreme neither really energized them and show them the policy and the path and especially when you consider the cold weather here it was it had just started snowing such a huge crowd that gathered around him again they renewed allegiance to the Islamic Republic and the leader and they would follow his line as as was expect that thats one of the park making you know sentiments that e. S. Hat and whenever he appears in the friday prayers he may very drastic change in the community in the iranians in the officials so he was very influential in his press.
