E for european cities ranking among the most polluted in the world protesters demand they governments take action. Oh welcome to the program our top story libyan warlord have to has secretly flowed to greece for talks with the Prime Minister and the foreign minister of greece has criticized its exclusion from a un backed peace conference set to take place on sunday the internationally recognized tripoli government which have to is trying to overthrow the recently signed a maritime military cooperation deal with turkey which and good greece the greek Prime Minister could attack as has threatened to veto any libya peace deal with the European Union because of the deal with turkey or have to who heads the Libyan National army is scheduled to hold 2 days of talks in athens before flying to butlins for sundays peace summit is russia and turkey who support opposite sides in this conflict will also be at that conference. Glumly its a good 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 the libyan sides do not repeat their own past mistakes and start adding any additional conditions and blaming each other so 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. And John Psaropoulos has more on the talks now from athens in general have to his meeting with because then there is the foreign minister mr benn the us told reporters after. He and general have to have agreed that among general have to aims of the peace conference to secure a cease fire and security in his country should be the pursuit of the. A blockade against any other was reaching the warring sides a departure of foreign mercenaries that played such a large part in this war and also no 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 a. G. N. 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 all he for have to has contacted russia in an effort to gain support from his longtime ally step mawson has the details on that now from the russian capital moscow. 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 Africa Stores establishing peace and stability in libya and this is all of course very interesting because this latter concept 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 letter now seems to be safe face saving operation to make sure that russia is back in the game meanwhile the internationally recognized government in tripoli wants catarrh and tunisia to attend the peace conference on sunday are put a month old up to why it has more on that now from tripoli. 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 the delegation supporting the warlord Khalifa Haftar as you know at least 4 countries supporting the warlord Khalifa Haftar are invited to take part in the bilin 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 it says that tunisia is very important to take part in these talks as not only as a neighboring country and being impacted and affected by the ongoing crisis in libya but it has been also costing thousands of libyans if you did 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.

Which is your master couldnt do anything let alone you to a smaller weaker we had a seat fall in the negotiations with those a steel hand in a velvet glove they cannot be trusted we have no problem with talks but not with the us. But domestically the country has seen protests against fuel price rises and in the last week condemnation of the downing of the ukrainian press indigent after it left the fraud with the loss of 176 lives the message one of regret and condolence hopes to order the plane crash was a bitter accident but through a whole lot next month iran has parliamentary elections polls show that the turnout could be very low an obvious concern for the legitimacy of the political system here in iran better their analysis for analyses made my dear brothers and sisters my d.

U. S. President donald trump has announced his defense team for the upcoming impeachment trial it includes ken starr a prosecutor in the failed impeachment of bill clinton some 22 years ago and celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz has represented Jeffrey Epstein o. J. Simpson Roman Polanski and mike tyson the trial will be led by white House Counsel at separ loney and trumps lawyers. The Legal Process was set in motion in the senate on thursday lets speak now to our White House CorrespondentKimberly Halkett so he was obviously off to a headline grabbing high Profile Defense team and thats what hes got with the addition of these names. Yeah absolutely and here in the United States especially they are household names you often hear Alan Dershowitz on National Television news being interviewed on a variety of legal subjects and for those of us who covered the previous president ial impeachment myself included you know ken starr household name back in the late 1990 s. Because of course he did defend. Rather not defend but he did lead the charge as independent counsel in the case against president bill clinton so the addition of these 2 individuals is certainly experience thats what the president is looking hes looking for people that have a resume that is particularly successful behind them as well and we should point out in just the last few moments weve also confirmed in addition to the White House Legal Team our senior producer Chris Sheridan getting this that the white house director of Communications FormerFlorida Attorney general has also confirmed to be a part of this defense team in the senate trial for President Trump her name pam bondi well known again here in the United States but certainly not to the same level as the other 2 celebrity attorneys that you mentioned at the top of the show there. On the last claim he was clamoring for a name recognition what does that suggest then about the strategy that will be used. I think when it comes to Alan Dershowitz this is particularly interesting because hes known as someone who sort of leans to the left politically so thats what makes this a bit of a surprise but gives us some insight into how this defense might be crafted we know that he voted for Hillary Clinton in the last u. S. Election but what he is is a very sharp constitutional legal mind and certainly he opposed the impeachment of president bill clinton back in the late 1990 s. And this is the reason hes made this argument repeatedly and that is the concern that this is being used for political purposes that the process of impeachment is being weaponized and sets a dangerous precedent because future president s could face this and also we know that there are many members of the Democratic Party that have opposed President Trump policies from day one that really wanted to see him impeached from the day of his inauguration so this gives us a sense of how this defense will be shaping up even as the president is still coming to grips with the fact that the senate trial is even taking place we are hearing from our sources that in fact hes still hoping there may be a motion to dismiss all of this that appears unlikely in fact this is expected to really get going on tuesday of next week thank you very much i want house correspondent kimberly how it was a busy week ahead i guess. So i had for you on al jazeera families that with nothing left to lose hope for a Better Future outside white amala. And flying over an erupting crater we join the 1st helicopter reconnaissance of the devastation caused by volcano tower.
