He has more on the political reaction from the streets weve seen protests in the past and on the scale were followed Police Brutality moments of Police Brutality and nothings really happened different this time is just how widespread it is and how specific some of the proposals are its not just the police shouldnt be doing this its defund the police its put the money elsewhere and so it is fascinating it is doubly winding down here in d. C. 70 tens of thousands on the streets but all day trump has been in the white house behind the new 8 foot wall and miles of fencing that were put up someone actually comparing it to the green zone in baghdad.

I think the protests are moving along quite well because the most important thing we want to see as a result of these protests is change we need to see a fundamental change in how Police Officers are interacting with the public and in particular interacting with people of color and black males we need to see a reform and some of the.

N. Recognize government is pressing on with an offensive to reclaim territory from warlord having to have town and from the stronghold city of sirte the governments rejected a cease fire plan put forward by have to talks with his egyptian allies but what of the well have reports now from tripoli.

The Initiative Aims to guarantee a ferry presentation of libyas 3 provinces and a president ial council elected by the people under the supervision of the United Nations to manage libyas leadership for the 1st time in the countrys history but the proposal was swiftly turned down by the tripoli based administration the head of the high council of state told aljazeera that any deal offered by the egyptian rejean is rejected the context of what has just been reported about military advancements in the last week the series of defeats that have suffered that over the last 2 months and its practical exit right now.

Completely abandoned their projects in libya or have they just lived their arms and perhaps moved on to another contender the head of the parliament and its then that we are going to solar is a potential candidate its very unclear yet because there is much water park was assets the old presence in central libya in the south west of libya as well as in the south east and thats a long war and i think it could be a question of perhaps preservation of peace that we have the Russian Forces that are now deployed in central libya or preservation of other parts of Eastern Libya through the u. A. E. Airbase and it hurt them but really the question of whether or not after survives is not really are an answer he can give himself its an answer or theyre on his back and want to help them survive and so while theyre capitulate and thats really the story of libya and most of that is that there at least an opposite of being made from the outside and today it was turkish as if they were at the reading gate the g.
