Our libya a peace conference wrapped up in berlin youre going to agreement that is hoped will pave the way for a last thing cease fire in the country and ultimately bring an end to years of bloody civil war arties peace all of the reports from berlin. Well the result of these talks here in berlin on libya and the ongoing conflict on the ground there was a documents that has been signed off by those that are taking part in the conference still has to go to the United Nations where it will be seeking their approval it contained in that document are a call for a cease fire also an arms embargo that should be a rekindling of the political process german chancellor Angela Merkel was keen to stress again that there was in far as she was concerned and as far as other leaders were concerned there was no military solution to that conflict in libya that human rights must be respected and that we must also you see security and Economic Reforms on the ground in libya now the german chancellor also said added that there was no direct contact between. And. Now that had been expected realistically theres been hope for heading into these talks they didnt speak directly that was all done through proxy or in direct conversations passing along messages basically between the 2 sides the u. N. Secretary general also speaking at the Closing Press conferences to as he said that what was of most importance at the moment was getting a functioning cease fire in place on the ground 1st we need to have a ceasefire you cannot monitor something that doesnt exist and so we need level ceasefire the other 2. And the one simple question is that all the produce the plans to do anything to meet its to support the cease fire and committed to pressure on the parties to the conflict for the fire to be reached the German Foreign minister heiko must was also speaking at the Closing Press conference he was measured in his confidence about what had been achieved here in berlin he said its well ultimately there. Was a potential for the libyan crisis being resolved that the end was perhaps in sight but that it still needed some work to get it over the line. We have achieved objectives that we set for this conference we now have the e. U. Now hands to solve the conflicts now we have to do is use diski put it in the log and open the door from the russian side of the foreign minister spoke to journalists as well as the last row of well he was saying that he was positive of what had been achieved here however he acknowledged that the situation between the 2 warring sides was extremely difficult right now still generally we think the conference was useful its clear that the final decision is up to the libyans its also clear that so far stable dialogue between the warring parties is unreachable the differences of approach to great but still the suggestions the final document contains contribute to creating appropriate conditions for both sides to sit and talk ultimately the result of these talks is that theyll be more talks the u. N. Secretary general mr gritty yet is will be meeting with representatives of both sides of the conflict in geneva later this week heiko muss the German Foreign minister also saying that there would be a meeting in brussels on monday of e. U. Ministers in order to discuss further the situation in libya libya though is really coming front and center for International Attention thats been seen by just who was in attendance here in some real heavy hitters from around the world coming here as the world tries to find a solution to the ongoing crisis which has claimed so many lives. We spoke with journalist and founder of the point Africa Johnson who says the berlin conference is only the 1st step in libyas peace process. You know once its libyas been able to reach global audiences i know im the hes been to step up on the stage for discussions and. At the end of the day were looking at a ceasefire thats all were hoping for this is not going to bring about peace its not going to really stop all out war were talking about a cease fire a hold to a cease fire which is not happening today we can have a road map we can have a process for. Mobilization of the forces of disarming nation let alone some level of governance that the 2 parties can work with so it can be very difficult a long long way ahead we are in the early stages of potentially what potentially helpful for libya but its going to be very difficult because there is to have to hes gained too much ground already not so much be that he is recognized by the u. N. As the legitimate government but mr houghton all the respected people are supportive of emboldened to the extent that these are willing to continue funding. Got a new Prime Minister this way comes the previous cabinet step down and i think nation followed president putins proposal to change the countrys constitution particularly but it delusional if youre 9 months i suggested yesterday do not affect the fundamental basis of the constitution furthering russias development as a lawful state so the goal is to enhance the effectiveness of the countrys institutions strengthen the role of Civil Society and to enable the Political Parties in our regions to make decisions a vital to the countrys development of gas you have takes a look at the proposed reforms and how they have gone down in the wider world. Tried splay in this lead to boom and power as the office of president the media accuses of it seizing more power who control over russia but when putin gives up that power and hands it over to parliament at his own expense it is also because he seizing more control over russia 1st to discover this syndrome i name it paranoid putin a friend here and theres a real epidemic. Paranoid putin a friend he aside he is what he actually proposed to guaranteed that new president ever wields as much power as he did including putin himself hes got 4 more years in office. This is unprecedented in a quarter of a century every constitutional amendment was designed to empower the president for example increase the president ial term from 4 years to 6 years or give the president the power to appoint prosecutors and now he turns it all upside down it used to be that putin appointed the problem. This Ministers Parliament rubber stamp that now parliament appoints heads of government and putin rubber stamps it with no power object 30 years to use according to the constitution of the Russian Federation the president needs only to state dumas consent to make official appointments the president appoints the cabinet his deputy and all the ministers i propose shifting this power to the state duma and also the approval of the russian governments chairman and at the chairmans suggestion all the Deputy Ministers and all the federal ministers will have to be appointed by the president without a right to reject any candidate this is of course all subject to a popular vote if these passes russia will be a changed country with a very different future russia is changing into a new face of democracy freedom and now the basis of the 1st. Time when the president limits his old how this is something in the later controlled country is not known at all then the president limits its own power and once to let the people there cite the new constitution many in the west see president putin is a mental power is the one that wants to remain in power for ever and so on and so forth but if you look at the reforms if you look at the proposals i see myself some reasons to find in these proposals some balance of power between the president power and the Parliament Power i see some ideas leading to a better more denies ation of this state very often it happens that. Many media make comments on amendments on lol song project or reforming constitution we doubt knowing. In details what is the reform or the rules what are the proposals so i would suggest before putting for sole negative comments to study to understand what luck talking about what is did reform announcement and then maybe we can make some comments now before that to pave the way the government handed in its resignation its worth mentioning it wasnt all that popular that failed on a number of fronts and meacham event if the now caretaker Prime Minister said himself its time for something new you have all heard the address of the russian president Vladimir Putin as president he outlined the major priorities of our work for the upcoming year but he also outlined a number of fundamental changes to the constitution of the Russian Federation these changes when they take place and this will be done after discussions and as was said they will significantly alter a number of parts of the constitution and change the balance of power if theres one thing we know about putin its that we dont know him he loves the surprise and there was no warning not even rumors that the country was about to be turned on its head we now have a new Prime Minister because ill miss an unknown quantity hes largely stayed out of the spotlight for the past decade ahead in the federal tax agency and i must say he did wonders teaching russians to pay their taxes fact some would argue hes done too good a job it is now clear putin hangs up the gloves in 2024 he wont run for another term time change so does russia it is revolutionary change from this distance i would say that it gives more power to the parliament but it downgrades the importance of the Prime Ministership of the stability of iraq. Leadership quality which is not a separate issue has been one of the most positive aspects of World Governance in the 21st century. Lens confirmed donald trump threaten to slap huge tariffs on european carmakers if it didnt distance itself from the Iran Nuclear Deal this week germany the u. K. And france triggered the deals dispute resolution mechanism which could lead to the agreements collapse irans Supreme Leader slams the 3 european states as u. S. Porns sparking a rebuke from president trap. I searched for the beginning that after the us withdraw from the j. C. These 3 governments with were just paying lip service and ranting a does not trust them and they would carry out anything and they would be of the service of the us it has been cleared up the us born in the true sense of the word the socalled Supreme Leader of iran who has not been so supreme lately had some nasty things to say about the United States and europe their economy is crashing and their people are suffering he should be very careful with his words. They were paying trio claim irans noncompliance with the nuclear deal is forcing them to trigger the dispute mechanism iran now has 30 days to return to compliance failing which will be referred to the Un Security Council that could reinstate sanctions lets take a look at what led to the Current Crisis now the nuclear deal was signed in 2015 by iran and key world powers it was designed to limit to rons Nuclear Activities in exchange for sanctions relief but in 2018 President Trump pulled washington out 3 imposing economic penalties that prompted iran to stop backing away from complying with the deal itself something that excel arranged in recent weeks after the u. S. Killing of terrans top general Political Science professor at the university of toronto how magnus salvi believes when the u. S. Withdrew from the deal the e. U. Abandoned iran. Its very hypocritical for the europeans to trigger the dispute resolution mechanism now i mean if they were sincerely and truly committed to the deal they shouldve triggered this dispute resolution mechanism a year and a half ago when the trumpet ministration decided to leave the deal when the us left the deal it was actually the europeans that convinced you want to stay in the deal with the promise that they would shield your own from american sanctions and all those promises turned out to be empty and right now when iran is for its share of the deal its backing away from the deal now they are treating the this socalled dispute resolution mechanism and this has actually brought a lot of anger in a lot of brigit or in this in tehran regarding the europeans. Meanwhile the u. S. Secretary of state has doubled down on washingtons assassination of irans top general and he this month my pump a lot at that this is just the start of a far more aggressive to terence policy while mentioning russia and china can have more picks up the story. In u. S. Foreign policy buzz words are everything administrations love to have a single term they can use in order to explain their International Actions so lets review some of the greatest hits a way to be ready for preemptive action a reset in relations between the United States and russia might bomb peo seems to be rolling out a new one when defending the actions of the white house in dealing with international adversaries of the United States might pompei owes new favorite word seems to be deterrence reestablishing deterrence real deterrence military deterrence deterrence is hard to establish an easy to lose so according to the white house and its surrogates the killing of top iranian general qassam solomonic was necessary as part of this deterrence strategy but want to lay this out in context of what weve been trying to do theres a bigger strategy a strategy to this we have reestablished deterrence but we know its not everlasting that risk remains we are determined not to lose that deterrence but the iraqi Prime Minister has a different version of events according to the iraqi Prime Minister soleimani was on a Diplomatic Mission he was trying to make peace when he was ruthlessly cut down furthermore reports seem to indicate that some of the mahdi was not the only official to be targeted reports now show that a different iranian general was also in their sights but the strike was unsuccessful so who else could now be on the list as the United States claims it has the right to assassinate top iranian general extra judicially and explain later well mike pompei o has thrown not only iran but also russia and china into the mix we thought. Not just in iran but in other places too where american deterrence was weak we watch russias 2014 occupation of the crimea chinas island building too in the South China Sea and its brazen attempts to course American Allies undermine to deter us so if the United States dislikes you it can pressure you economically diplomatically isolate you or brutally assassinate you know this is geopolitics in the age of deterrence the mask is come and ask this idea of supremacy that we we have you know this is you can call it american supremacy that we can do whatever we want and its up to us to decide who is a threat or not this is it really really disturbing and very dangerous i think and its not normal to hear does come in alex for somebody who is running the state department this is extremely disturbing and im very disappointed that damage it can Political Class is not speaking out against this. Crazy idea that we can go ahead and just kill anyone we dont like it doesnt mean people are not guilty of things but if we take this principle and this. Approach to every nationality to every country we are going to have a really really mess an hour ahead. 2 Police Officers have been shot dead in Honolulu Hawaii while responding to an assault call the suspect remains at large the instant happened in the diamondhead area of the city the officers were responding to an assault cole when they encountered a man with a firearm who opened fire the suspect was believed to be inside the house which later caught fire the 5 reportedly spread to neighboring homes f.
