Libya delegates meet to pick interim premier

Delegates from Libya at UN-sponsored talks in Geneva are beginning the process of choosing a temporary administration that would run the country until elections in December.

They will have until Friday to select a prime minister and a three-member council. Forty-five candidates have put themselves forward.

They’re drawn from the two rival administrations that have been vying for power in the divided country – one in the capital Tripoli, and the other based in the east.
