Well i have thought of washington that i White House Correspondent kimberly how could it kimberly so begins another day on emotion and politics the president has been tweeting as is his wont this morning somewhat controversial whats it been saying. That one of the president s tweets is questioning some video that has emerged of the social unrest in the United States particularly in buffalo new york this is where i caught on video a 75 year old man was shoved to the ground by police requiring medical attention now the u. S. President questioning whether or not that have may may have been a setup for the camera saying or suggesting that this individual was a member of the radical left protest group and t. V. And whether or not in fact this was something that was done deliberately so this is sort of one of the more outlandish tweets from the u. S. President as you point out emotions still remains very high in this country the country looking ahead to 15 g. M. T. That is when there will be another funeral for george floyd we understand that the former Vice President joe biden will be delivering a message it will be taking place in houston and we know that george floyd ultimately will be laid to rest next to his mother of course the woman he cried out for in the final moments of his life and what are we expecting in the house leading up to that funeral and indeed off towards cuba. Well certainly there is a lot of emotion people are starting to arrive to faith pay their final respects we should point out that this funeral unlike what we saw yesterday where it went on for hours people who didnt even know him felt compelled to pay their respects this 4. 00 will be a more intimate setting it will be a private funeral but as there is this sort of final laying to rest of george floyd we know that the u. S. President for his part is considering in light of the protests that have gone on across the country many violating the standards put in place for corona virus to prevent outbreaks that his campaign has confirmed he now is considering bringing back his make America Great again rallies seems americans are tired of being in the house and so is the u. S. President theres another reason that the u. S. President wants to get out and campaign and that is the poll numbers shows that the handling of president s handling of coronavirus the president s handling of the social unrest has really hit his approval so hes eager to get out this is where he rails against his opponents we can tell you the campaign is confirmed this is something that is now under consideration and the opportunities in the possibilities being presented to the president in the coming weeks so once again it really is a stark reminder of just how quickly things can change in the United States from shutdown to packing dettori and this is something that the u. S. President is pushing for a White House CorrespondentKelly Holcomb in washington could be many thanks george. Libyas National Oil Corporation says that an armed force switch it has not entered fide has entered an oil field in the south and demanded that employees shut it down in a statement the company told its workers not to abate the old as the pipeline which runs from shut out of oil field reopened on sunday after being closed by fighters in january all of Khalifa Haftar us forces seized the fields during an offensive early last year lets get more on this now from a serious market up the wash that he joins us live from tripoli tell us more about the storming of this oil field and who might have been responsible.

Production my it is you tomorrow now the closure of the oil field was very threatening to libyas economy as you know that oil revenues are present there its like a backbone of libyas National Income that even years of the Oil Production as you know that of chad our oil field about 700 kilometers south of the capital tripoli is their country is it Biggest Oil Field with a Production Capacity of about 300000. 00 Barrels Per Day half of that production goes for exporting the other half goes to were always compound where its being there you find in the oil refinery that and then being distributed to all towns and cities areas in western libya you know we have been really.

Still to come here. Hundreds of ringer refugees said to have been stranded at sea for months now detained in malaysia. I will take a look at how despite being an island in the new coronavirus epicenter cuba has managed to keep covert 19 pretty much at bay. Greece and rather the schools well hear from one of the worlds best womens footballers if she is that her sport is being left behind. Greece and italy have signed what theyre describing as a historic maritime borders a court it carves out the exclusive Economic Zones in the ionian seat and paves the way for greece and italy to look for and exploit Marine Resources the moves likely to anger which side a similar deal with libya turkey doesnt recognize the economic jurisdiction of some of greeces islands in the Eastern Mediterranean lets go live now to our correspondent John Psaropoulos in athens tell us more about this deal jill. Well the most important thing about this agreement is that it recognizes that islands have a maritime jurisdiction which is stipulated under the United Nations law of the sea this is the point that separates greece and turkey in then maritime jurisdiction dispute in the Eastern Mediterranean east of crete and dotted in these islands like roads and councils and kind of a couple of those of the notice that were affected by commodore. Demarcated last november between libya and turkey when they separated them maritime jurisdiction without giving any reference to greeces islands in that region greece rejected that agreement so did the European Union the United States russia and other players in the region like egypt and israel as being outside of International Law the u. N. That the u. N. Back in time which is upheld 568 nations greece had a simpler and works very hard to conclude agreements with other neighbors in order to show that maritime law d can be upheld with due respect for the jurisdiction of islands and this is actually greeces 1st maritime jurisdiction agreement with any other country but its also working on reaching a similar agreement with egypt on creases trying to prove of course is that matter time agreements made in accordance with the u. N. Will should prevail over agreements like that reached between turkey and libya so what if anything can turkey do about this. Well i mean i think the ultimate aim from the greek point of view is to come to the negotiating table on greeces terms which means to carve out an agreement that obeys un maritime law and that would be an agreement that other countries in the region would recognize because they have wiped out similar agreements on the un will for example cyprus and israel israel and egypt and so on. I think groups its aim here is to avoid any kind of escalating tension in the region but escalating tension is what you have a moment because on june 1st the turkish state Petroleum Exploration company t. P. A. Asked for permission to explore for hydrocarbons in the area is that turkey demarcated with libya last november now greece and said that it still ships and to those waters which youre effectively disputed waters now it will take military action against any turkish exploration ships and that of course. The for the armed confrontation possibly so i think greece of trying to forestall any further steps by turkey on its. Aljazeera as johnson reporting live from athens john many thanks.

Well it was a particularly horrific crime and so as you would expect the prosecution is seeking a very long sentence they want 3 life sentences they want an additional sentence of 40 years and theyre also seeking the maximum amount of financial compensation from better leo to the upci family of a 1000000 shekels thats about 290000 u. S. Dollars so this is something that the the family would presumably support they have been saying that whatever happens really in terms of the conviction and indeed the sentencing nothing would bring back the lives lost in this crime but it was a crime that caused a huge amount of pain and outrage at the time and a great deal of political pressure on the venezuelan government to find those responsible and to hold them account the Shin Bet Internal Security Service called this a landmark moment in the fight against jewish terror when billyo.
