Libya parliament speaker says chamber approves new government

Libya's Parliament Speaker Aguila Saleh said on Tuesday the chamber had approved a new government under Fathi Bashagha after holding a vote, which was broadcast on television.

The move thrusts Libya into a new crisis with the incumbent interim government, which has said it will not cede power to any new administration until there is an election.
