[inaudible] there is a huge police station in the city because there was a third attack since the [inaudible] which has endorsed the peace talks with the taliban. but yesterday there was an attack by the militants that are not wanting to speak and obviously the pakistan

[inaudible] process. so it might be that the call to the united states [inaudible] >> all right, thank you for the update there. now, sudan's president is coming under increasing pressure to cancel austerity measures that doubled fuel prices overnight. 31 politicians including some from his own party are calling on him to reverse that decision. protests are continue on this street os of the capital for a sixth day. here is a report. >> reporter: the sound of swelling discontent. these crowds call for revolution. the dictator will not rule us they chant. for six days people have bn demonstrated in sudan's capital. and witnesses say the government is responding with force.

>> we were surrounded by police and by the army. they shot live rubber bullets. >> reporter: the protests began after the government lifted subsudden is and fuel and cooking gas. overnight, prices nearly doubl doubled. but if the trigger was economic, the momentum appears to be turning political. people are demanding an end to the president's 24-year rule. calling him a killer. dozens of people have died in the crack down, but one in particular has touched a national nerve. he was killed as a march we want by his pharmacy on friday. the 26-year-old came from an influential and respected business family. thousands of people turned up

for his funeral including a presidential adviser who was heckled by mourners the unrest is turning in to one of the president's biggest challenges yet. he is also facing dissent from within. 31 members of his ruling party have signed a petition asking the president to reverse the austerity measures and hold those protesters accountable. despite the reports of violence, sudan's information minister insists security forces are targeting only those involved in, quote, terrorist action. >> we are very sorry for those that are killed, innocent people, i am sure we will do an investigation. any sort of peaceful demonstration we are going to open zell it. waccept it and guard it. >> reporter: the country is in the grip of spiraling inflation, people are struggling with food costs and precious revenues have all but dried up after oil-rich

regions became part of south sudan in 2011. now public anger is being directed at the president himself. with some saying it's time for true democracy. gerald, al jazerra. >> let's get more live from air yet. bring us u up-to-date first with the protests and security situations. what's been happening on the streets today? >> reporter: well, today actually it's very calm, it's reported to be calm so far, but there may be protests later. it's not clear exactly what will happen. but obviously over the last five days we have had constant protests every day. and every day we have seen deaths and dozens of deaths we have had in total over the last week. >> harriet, some politicians, some m.p.s even from window mar albmarwithin omar's own par.

is that likely to happen? >> reporter: before that there is another issue that has to be involved. including members of his own party are very important people have also called for the prosecution of those firing on the crowds and i think this is the key point that's going to be played out in the coming days, susudan has been deeply shocked. everyone has shocked by the fact that the protests have only been going on day or two and the security forces were already using live ammunition. it wasn't as if they would been building up over a period of days or even weeks. and that is the issue i think that will come out here because this petition by these very influential pool tingeses points to the shock that the government is prepared to kill its own people in order to suppress these demonstrations, even though the message we are getting and we got if yesterday from the information minister, is that they wil will allows peaceful protests to happen.

>> as you say, harriet, the pro testifies now appear to have a political dimension, some protesters even calling for an end to the president's rule. >> reporter: yes, we have heard that one before. we had large protests here last year, the fact that the security forces have been using so much violence against the crowds it sort of changed the 10 or of these protests and now we see the establishment, the political establishment adding its voice of concern to that. it's really not clear how this then plays out. because the issue of whether or not they lift the austerity measures, i think will be put on the back burner as parts of the political debate. the debate now is very much how do you allow peaceful protests when you say you do, but they factor you are not allowing them. >> harriet, thank you. now, the u.s. government is edging closer to its first federal shutdown in two decades. if barack obama and the congress fail to agree on a new budget hundreds of thousands of

government staffers will be told to stay home on tuesday. the republican-controlled house of representatives has pass aid bill to keep the government running, but it would delay president obama's health care law from coming in to force. obama has found to veto the measure if adopted by the senate, libby casey has more from washington. >> reporter: the house of representatives pass aid spending bill largely along party lines that would keep the federal government funded and operating through mid december. however, it has some very big strings attached. first of all, it would delay implementation of the federal health care law known as obama care by one year. it would also repeal a medical device sales tax. and while that tax is continue very shall, some say it's necessary to help pay for the health care law. another bill passed unanimously and this one would insure that members of the military get their paychecks even if the federal government shuts down. the action now goes back to the senate in is a game of legislative ping pong. the senate is unlikely to pass

or express any interest in the bill to fund the government because of the strings attached related to the federal health care law. the senate may have more of an interest in the legislation that would insure members of the military get their pay. but even if they do, that doesn't take care of the big looming question, which is how they'll come to terms with the other side of the congress and figure out a way to get a spending bill pushed through both bodies before monday at midnight. that's the deadline when the federal government will have to go in to a partial shutdown mode if congress can't come to an agreement. >> 61 people are now known to have died after a building collapse in move hmm mumbai. rescuests have been called off. special equipment was called in to free dozens trapped. the building had structural problems but they are still not clear why it came down. human rights groups in greece have welcomed the arrest of very members of a far right political

party. 21 golden dawn members including its leader and four m.p.s have been charged with belong a criminal organization. supporter rallied, the parties deny being involved in attacks including a murder of a musician two weeks ago. many activists sport the arrests but say more work needs to be done. >> all of these extreme right minorities, new nazi ideas in parts of greek society are still there. so with arresting the leader and some members of the organization doesn't mean that you deal as a whole with the ideas that gave them power. >> well, john joins us live now from athens. john, so what are we expected to happen today then? >> reporter: well, the police officer is ongoing, there are still 12 people who have to be arrested apart from the 20 taken in yesterday, one of those 12 is a golden dawn m.p. who is described as the secretar secone

command of the party, he is also the head of the party's think tank, an organization that was set up in order to provide, if you like, some theoretical bases for golden dawn's often outlandish and to me people here outrageous beliefs. he is on the loose. but he was seen appearing via telephone on some local television networks yesterday taunting the police and saying i am at home, whoever wants to come and pick me up, may do so. but he still hasn't appeared to hand himself in at police headquarters as some other golden dawn m.p.s have done. another thing that has to happen, of course, today and tomorrow probably is that the 20 people who have been arrested are going to confer with their lawyers on what their first line of defense is going to be. and they will have until monday, according to greek law, to present themselves to the judge and presents that first line of defense. that period of 48 hours from their arrest warrant can be extended and there are reports

now that they have asked it to be extended to tuesday and possibly wednesday, but we haven't been able to confirm that. in any case, though, they will be furiously repairing their legal defense with their lawyers. >> john, you say a number of people are still yet to be detained. so what's likely to lap to all of them once they have all been detained by the police? >> reporter: one they are detained and charged they all have 48 hours and slightly longer perhaps, to appear before the judge and present what their defense will be. then greek law allows the authorities to keep them in pretrial custody for up to 18 months, i don't think that will happen in this case. the next stage after that will be the trial. and this trial is going to be one with serious charges. according to early leaked reports of the 9-page indictment against these 32 people, the charges including # man slaught,

not just for the left wing hip hopper but also nine other people that died under serious circumstances including one in a police custody. and organized activities such as racketeering and money laundering, apparently there was a very seedy side to golden dawn and how it raised its money outside of the funds it claims from the state. now, the reaction here in greece, to the arrests yesterday which came as an h enormous shok to public opinion is actually rather triumphant in this right of center enough here, you see golden dawn in handcuffs, that's a relatively sober title compared to what left of center papers are printed. democracy saturates the nazis. this one the holocaust the golden dawn, there is both in the president and in the broadcast media, a rounding on golden dawn and its ideas,

suddenly and particularly yesterday after these arrests. >> john, thank you. still to come here on al jazerra, investigating the tactics of those behind the siege of nairobi's west gate mall. well you why they are focusing on this tunneled. and he may be controversial, but some in egypt are pushing for the country's top general to run for president. more on that. stay with us.

they were researching whether the collapse was because of the attackers or the forces. the forced didn't know about a possible escape route. and this was the response to the question, did intelligence services warn of the attack. >> we would not want to divulge about that because of the sensitivity intelligence bears on the country. about but we want to assure kenyans that the security situation in their country is good. >> reporter: this m.p. is trying to reassure somalis in the suburb of the capital there will be no recriminations against them. he's one of scores of politicians who want accountability for what has gone wrong. >> what we need is to dissolve the entire intelligence system in this country and start fresh. within kentucky i can't used to have one of the best intelligence before, not any longer, any anymore. >> reporter: kenyans have been united in grief.
