sudo apt-get update fail on Ubuntu 17.04

While running the sudo apt-get update on ubuntu 17.04 Zesty Zapus, I am getting the following error. I have posted on the error lines. I wanted to install python libraries like matplotlib and tkinter which failed to installed because above command wasn't running succesfully. Please suggest me what to do.
