And abandoned for decades but now a nazi Submarine Base has found new life as the Worlds Largest digital art Space Transport premier League ChampionsManchester City are hoping for a big win in the quarter and the club aiming to overturn that syria ban from playing in European Competitions. Starting with libya on a surprise move from the leadership of one of its warring administrations who is the speaker of the parliament based into broke in the east has arrived in moscow for talks he was seen in egypt at the weekend where his ally award Khalifa Haftar announced a cease fire which was rejected by the un recognized government the other administration in tripoli meanwhile on the ground in libya after forces continue to lose ground to that un recognized government thats been pushing ahead towards the strategic city of sirte will start with this manic trainer who is in. About 140 kilometers west of sirte. Ive been speaking to miller it military leaders here on the ground and theyve told me that yesterday theyve made significant gains theyve entered the western gates of sirte now thats known as an area the checkpoint 30 which is 30 kilometers west of sirte they have entered and are in control of this area they have also entered one of the el gerrish which is south of sirte this is a valley a valley of jar of which is a natural a natural barrier of sorts so this is a lead into g. And a thats the internationally recognized government of National Court control of sirte weve we can see that the red or the rhetoric among g. N. A. T. Politicians among among the military officials here has has changed and thats because they are now in a position of strength they feel weve seen drastic drastic changes since the since the support of turkey to the g. N. A. T. Several cities stronghold of of to huna belonging to warlords leave or have to was taken and so theres theres a significant change and position for the g. N. A. T. Now there are in in the southern. Southern suburbs of sirte and while jarrah and these are forces that know suit very well theyve theyve theyve they fought in syria in 2011 against the late wall more gadhafi they also fought in liberating for what they say liberating sirte from dasht thats i saw in 2016 ok so that tells us whats happening on the ground there i want to go back to. Who i mentioned earlier and how he fits into this libya conflict said he is the speaker of the administration into broke it ministration which rivals the internationally recognized government in tripoli his government is also allied to the woodward Khalifa Haftar he attended saturdays talks in cairo where. After and egypts president but there were some big differences between salah and hafter when the war declared himself the sole ruler of libya more recently has been quoted as saying russia wants negotiations to resume with the tripoli government because it no longer sees a positive outcome to half his offensive after has been trying to take over tripoli remember for more than a year now so mahmoud is with us now from tripoli to try to put this into some context there as we know its a battle for power but also it seems a battle of of personalities in libya will come. All indications recently have been. Indicating that russian my be reconsidering its allies in libya especially after the failure of have in running the military campaign that was meant to seize their capital tripoli a series of defeats said backs he suffered specially after his forces lost the west of the country after a one year. Military campaign that he launched in april last year now all facts on the ground indicate that. Russia might be considering reconsidering get shuffling get its allies in libya could put. Ahead. As a personality to be in the talks in the potential peace talks but generally speaking this potential meeting in moscow has not been officially announced yet neither by moscow nor by tripoli which also indicates that the government of National Accord here in tripoli is not very keen to. Localise that it is it is being engaged in talks again with the. Administration in the east but generally speaking. Russia seems to be keen now in. Offering a peace deal especially after it has been accused by the government of supporting the warlord 24. 00 have to with the medicine rhes and weapons and medicine is from the Wagners Group and also weapons including get jets ok thank you for all that thats mahmoud are the one who our correspondent in tripoli now sami hamdi editor in chief of the International Interest which is a Risk Consultancy hes on skype from london sami nice to see you initially when i heard this news it seemed like sort of muddying the waters again but i guess it once again points to. Khalifa haftar being taken down a few notches again and becoming perhaps in the eyes of russia less that significant. I think russia is trying to lessen from have the power but not entirely get rid of him i think that the proof of that is that in cairo it was both regular salary and half that what i think russia is doing russia wants talks russia wants negotiations but knows it is untenable for settlers to sit with half that again so russia is trying to say to such look come and sit with i get asylum at least and i promise to rein in half that this doesnt necessarily mean that have to is out to the picture but it means that hes no longer the face russia is trying to make sure that he is no longer the face that sits there with and i think this shows actually a great sensitivity of of tripoli and also an appreciation of that sensitivity from russia yes that it. Is believed to have sect his economy minister in a sign that the d. N. A. Are starting to clash with one another would disagree with one another we heard the reports that satirized is in moscow but it hasnt been officially announced because said i was worried about the backlash that might come about from his supporters from the g. 8 forces but it appears that russia is trying to bring about some mediation turkeys trying to help these mediation along and senators in an awkward position whereby if he seemed to be excited about these talks he would lose domestically but if he doesnt go to these talks then he risks jeopardizing the turkish support and indeed the his generally the ship of the g. N. A. T. But the other thing for said our show was just remind viewers as the leader of the u. N. Recognized government in tripoli the thing is he and his forces have got an advantage on the ground now and they would be wanting to push forward ahead with that as much as possible through to certain maybe even on further surely that will be very focused right at the moment. Usually if youd asked me yesterday or 2 days ago i would have said that the g. N. A. T. Would want to push as much as they can and seize as much territory its clear that. Least privately would hope that the genie can take some of the oil question some of those resources that would put it in a much better position but the reports of a government reshuffle and reports that some large has gone to moscow suggests that some large himself does not believe that he is capable of relying soley on that military solution solely on that military push and that so large himself is wary that the more distant the half the threat becomes the more prospect there is of divisions within the g. N. A. T. Itself weve heard reports that he rejected the egypt peace plan he quite simply doesnt trust the egyptians but of course the dynamic here is that the more the g. N. A. T. Pushes into Eastern Libya the more likely we are to see direct intervention from egypt so far its been logistics its been supply of weapons here and there but we may see new gyptian intervention very similar to turkey we know that russia now is trying to pull the strings with regard to negotiation turkey is saying to russia and with negotiations but privately hoping the genie can take some of the oil present some knowledge is worried that the have becoming distant so hes trying to make sure he can maintain that balance of power in a glass clique its important to remember that just as we saw reports of revenge attacks in total horner in shows that the ministry of interior has not got full control over the forces that are fighting with the g. N. A. T. So when we talk about sort of pushing eastward so large himself knows that while today they are his forces the bigger the more the more territory he takes the less they are to him and this is what i think we are heading towards negotiations but russia is trying to take into regards to russia sensitivities and giving him a way in which he can go to the libyan people go to tripoli and say look guys lets talk lets negotiate im not setting out im not talking would have to im talking with i get outside of our case yet to see what the reaction will be i think well need to talk to you in another couple of days sammy because things are moving fast and they be around by thank you so we have these with us from london. On to other news and city council is in minneapolis and the u. S. Are promising to dismantle and rebuild the Police Department then this is in response to the deaths in custody of george floyd just spot protests in the u. S. And around the world has a report. A movement that shows no signs of abating across the United States another day of massive crowds demanding Police Reform and it appears in some places getting what they want in minneapolis where the killing of george bush and unarmed africanamerican sparked the protests the city council have pledged to disband the Police Department and try to figure out a new form of policing our commitment is to end our citys toxic relationship with the Media Outlets to Police Departments to answer these things as we wait and wait for yet. Actually. A new york citys mayor says hes focusing on the funding we will be moving funding from the n. Y. P. D. To use initiatives and social services he didnt say how much but it is the latest sign that the demand to defund the police is gaining traction at least for Democratic Leaders the Trump Administration is defending the heavy Police Presence and its handling of mostly peaceful protests arguing there doesnt need to be widespread change i dont think you need to reduce them unity to to go a step backwards because that would result certainly in Police Pulling back i do not think that we have a systemic racism problem with Law Enforcement officers across this country do i knowledge that there are some Law Enforcement officers that abuse their job yes and again we need to hold those accountable u. S. President donald trump is mocking the idea on twitter where he also announced the National Guard troops he sent into washington d. C. Will be returning home something the d. C. Mayor has been calling for and the president is facing more criticism from leading. Public it with reports former president george bush wont vote for him neither will mitt romney who took part in the protests we did moyse against racism we did many voices against racism and again were telling you to stand up and say the black lives matter and former top military leaders are also openly criticizing the president this is a moment as i said of moral clarity i think is very clear in the future whether we want to unify the country in a Political Division in the Political Division that has existed now for years or whether we want to continue to divide the country that is a choice that the American People have in front of them in the very near future on the streets calls for change with many wondering if it will result in big changes in the november election. Peaceful marches continued late into the night in los angeles where troops in the National Guard have now left the city as they have elsewhere off the violence and looting subsided of the weekend lays mayor Eric Garcetti also said he would seek to move millions of dollars from the Police Budget to social services tell is from the Brennan Center for justice which advocates for legal reform and she told us Police Funding is spend but with little accountability. Police sergeant have by and large been sacrosanct in Many American cities rate so not only are the en route to police the edges increasing and tighten it where crime is going down but you also have a great deal of a pass to the iraqis that its made i mean if you ever try to look at a Police Department i do ive really only looked at the what and you are mostly you know its really hard to tell where the moneys going and frankly where the might come in from in some cases because they also get a lot of money from the federal government so theres a lot of issues around you know Police Budget is a pact that they continue to rise or a time when if you dont write its going down at a time now where you know many look how these are they saying you know huge budget deficits in the wake of the 90 so all of these things i think its a who will ask around this hall which is a really nice that you know we think about how we want to spend money as a city any city right we have to think about what we want to invest in and obviously you know Public Safety and security is a really important thing but there are ways of getting to her safety and security and simply finding a police force and its the old guns and other debate right. Have a look at whats coming up for you on this news hour tearing down history the protests in the u. S. Highlight one of the darkest phases in the countrys history also the number of coronavirus cases in pakistan passes 100000 well hear just how bad its happened and in sport the former head of world athletics goes on trial in france charged with corruption and Money Laundering. So lets talk corona virus and the number of reported cases worldwide has now topped 7000000 the death toll is above 400000 but whats perhaps even more concerning is how in just 6 months covered nineteens become the largest cause of death on the planet this timeline comes from a group called flora starting on january 1st were now into february here look down the bottom there that sort of green all of colored bar 2nd from the bottom thats the number of coated 19 deaths and then midway through march the acceleration begins it moves above fire deaths drugs conflict and then really accelerates through april to go past the big killers of homicide malnutrition and eventually the blue line malaria. At this point 210000 deaths that is now killing more people than anything else on the planet and just keeps on going so really what all that tells us is that covert 9000 is a reality thats not going away and thats why governments are having to take their own decisions for example india taking another big step today in opening up its economy despite reporting a record high of almost 10000 new cases places of worship like this one in the capital new delhi are opening their doors Shopping Centers restaurants are back in business to millions of people lost their jobs of course when the law was imposed back in march inside one of those malls for us now in new delhi our correspondent elizabeth peron and take us through how reopening works when as we say the number is a still going up so much. Like a mall it works with a lot of guidelines in place so where and one of delhis most popular morals which opened at midday over 3 and a half hours ago but many of the shops i would say huff of the shops here are still closed and there are very few customers so the most restaurants and villages cases which have opened have guidelines like temperature checks sanitation tunnels which people walk through with limited numbers and theyre markings all over the floor to ensure social distancing weve seen people go into villages places from 5 oclock this morning india is a religious country where more than 80 percent of people say religion is very important to them so that was much anticipated but we have seen fewer people i would say with Business Owners telling us that they have very apprehensive about the reopening as the number of cases continue to rise and thats why the worst hit state of maharashtra the state including indian administered kashmir has decided not to open such a stablish months even though the lockdown has had a huge impact. Calmness on the economy and at least 114000000 jobs have been lost so youre talking about jobs there youve talked about cases what about the number of deaths the sort of again for a country that is so big and with such a Large Population the suspected underreporting of deaths. Yes so every other day were seeing the highest single day rise in the number of cases and and deaths and reportedly over 7000 now with the stage of tally of cases of 82000 being higher than that of chinas and moment its capital and deadliest struggling with a lack of beds so much so that dudleys chief minister said on sunday that people outside wouldnt be allowed to use dudleys hospitals because of the back of beds that theres been a backlash medical associations have said that hospitals come to an emergency patients away so the 2 cities with the best infrastructure are struggling and as for the numbers of deaths 22 percent of all deaths and dia medically certified and is already down to 6 on the list of countries it was detected so its really
