tim is in for a change in the horn of africa rapid progress is being made after a few o.p.'s prime minister a big mohammed and expectedly made peace with their retreat and president eisenhower's up there waking. was given a humorous welcome when he visited the capital asmara last sunday thousands of their retreat and lined the streets flags from side by side. these were once bitter rivals whose three year war from one thousand nine hundred eight to two thousand led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people i both countries have since been in a state of what's described as no war but no peace during their summit in asmara the leaders agreed to normalize relations by fast reopening embassies restoring flights allowing direct phone calls and easing economic ties now president up there where his visit to ethiopia is cementing the throwing of frosty relations the sudden change to restore ties is surprising observers and is expected to have far
1:03 pm
reaching consequences for millions of their retreat and ethiopians who share close cultural and linguistic ties but who've been separated for many years. catherine joins us now live from nairobi in neighboring kenya katherine what are you hearing about the mood in ethiopia how people are reacting to this. edge and you just needed to see the number of people this morning who showed up in the capito. about to welcome president up there working on many people at the airport many more lined the streets cheering on. the two leaders the convoy headed to the presidential palace where they are having lunch the president is also expected on sunday to open an embassy in. address a public forum so
1:04 pm
a lot of the field peons very happy to see this development saying that they hope this is the beginning of what is going to be a prosperous friendship it was unthinkable just a few months ago and for us to even imagine a president out there working on a field while he has not been to the country in about twenty twenty years or so was unthinkable as well for a retreat and to see an ethiopian prime minister in his mara the capital of a reaches a lot of people hoping that this things are going to this situation is going to progress even father saying that they hope that their leaders will keep this momentum and this commitment to choose obviously this is highly significant moment for the people of both of those two countries eritrea and ethiopia what about the significance though for the wider region you're in may bring kenya what's the reaction there. what hugely significant presidents who are
1:05 pm
looking at for example a while ago a couple of weeks back actually did put out a statement congratulating the two leaders for this step it's a huge significance for stability in the real. this is a region that has several countries in conflict and the fact that one situation that has been resolved or is being resolved amicably is just good progress for stability good progress for security in the country these two countries as well have been for years heavily militarized partly because of the mistrust they haue for one another they've been accusing each other of sponsoring militias to destabilize one another so the fact that you know these tensions are now distillate said people are able to trade freely it's a twenty year war really that separated for pot families and communities that share the same language share the same culture so the fact that now there is to interact
1:06 pm
freely without fear is just good news and good news as you mention for thousands and millions of retrained and be fewer people but also good news in the regional context for the when it comes especially to security matters eritrea's president is in ethiopia today what are we expecting of the diplomacy what's going to happen today. well today right now they're having their having lunch at the presidential palace he was received by prime minister b. as you mentioned last sunday when the prime minister was in a. declared the end of war and they you know talked about normalizing relations so we expect this visit to just cement this knowing of relations we are told this is not quite confirmed but we are told that the president might be heading to a place called a watch so later today as well
1:07 pm
a watch was in the south of the country one of the first as growing cities in ethiopia an industrial city as well on sunday we are told that the president is going to be opening the the embassy. an embassy there as well as addressing a public forum so people are watching all these developments very closely and the same as i mentioned is just cementing what has progressed very quickly since. they reached out to eritrea castro many thanks they don't exist catherine sawyer there in nairobi met brighton is chairman. a political think tank covering the horn of africa he joins us now live via skype from mombasa kenya matt good to have you with us so the deal is done but all of the hard work lies in the future doesn't it one of the challenges the main challenges that lie ahead. i think there are three main categories of challenges that the parties face after this initial sort of
1:08 pm
honeymoon period and the first of enthusiasm for the agreement which which is well justified but the first set of challenges relates to the actual implementation of the peace agreement and these include the transfer of territories and of populations in both directions across the border they have to do with the normalization of relations including movement of people and of trade which involves questions of. currency exchange and also the the status of eritreans who fled their country and may not be properly documented a second category of challenges has to do with the impact of this agreement on the domestic politics of both countries and although there is massive support and unified backing on both sides for the peace deal. once this deal is.
1:09 pm
moving forward then both governments face a range of very complicated domestic issues they're both they have histories of being autocratic regimes there have been recent demands ongoing demands for the opening of political space which both leaders are going to have to confront and then thirdly there are the geopolitics of the region which are complicated enough when we speak about the horn of africa and the ethiopian eritrean proxy conflicts around the region but even more so when the spillover from the rivalries between the gulf states are taken into consideration and their relationships with the various governments of the region and this implies a reconfiguration of all of those those dimensions. the specific and the implications for eritrea specifically which i suppose you could argue is the is the less open of the two countries. well every trip faces of the potential
1:10 pm
for enormous change it has been ruled by the same leader in the same party since independence in one thousand nine hundred three and the ruling party suspended the constitution and has kept it suspended on the grounds that eritrea was in an existential struggle with ethiopia which may now be at an end and so demands for the opening of political space at the constitution. commits to a multi-party electoral system the. domestic or the indefinite national service to wage the vast majority of eritrean youths are exposed people entered national service the army and also some types of civilian service not knowing if and when they will ever be released this has caused
1:11 pm
a massive and sustained exodus of eritreans from their country their per capita the number one group of of migrants to europe from the horn of africa and so what is now going to happen to national service what will happen if eritrea and you'd start returning to their countries and what does this mean for the opening of the political system. i would add that the party eritrea has been ruled by the people's front for democracy and justice very much by a small clique of leaders very close to the president for the last two decades and now we see already that ministers and other government officials are being brought into the peace process so even at the very top i think we expect to see a broadening of political space to include leaders who have been marginalized or at nominal titles the past within the eritrean and jim ok met good to talk to you many
1:12 pm
thanks indeed that's right now very much in mombasa attackers in somalia detonated two car bombs near the presidential palace in the capital mogadishu witnesses say they heard gunfire blasts and saw a large plume of smoke rising in the area police say the devices were detonated after a gunfight between police and met it comes just after a week attack on the interior ministry compound in the city killed at least nine people journalist is on the line now from mogadishu can tell us more what happened today take us through through what you know of what happened well i know can you hear me it's a three and in the studio tell us tell us what you know about what happened today. well i think we've all spoke the light it's always difficult to get communications
1:13 pm
reliable communications in and out of mogadishu or try going to come back to italy what was meant to be three days of peaceful protests in the correct what has turned into a bloody scene each with pro-government paramilitaries surrounding student activists in the capital some of the students remain trapped in a university church where they've been live streaming their ordeal many are such as reports from what i was. i don't know how much students behind barricades at me get i was national university. unarmed and terrified. this student leaves a recorded message from her mother. because it was on this day of national strike they were now to defend the country but if our where and i mean and now they think they're going to die. just a few hours before government supporters followed the data in a caravan commemorating a day in the sun these devolution thirty nine years ago that helped topple dictator
1:14 pm
anastasio from us and it will all take us spoke about peace. it took so much for most of nicaragua to find reconciliation and now there's a group of nicaraguans who don't accept it and that's because inside of them they carry the poison of hatred. are they the supporters say he's done a lot for he got out. he has given most poor nicaraguans a guarantee for their rights to food education entertainment and freedom of expression. but is the caravan left the city of the site uniformed police armed with rifles an r.p.g. opened fire in the neighborhood of money leaving two people dead. more than two hundred fifty people have died in almost three months of civil unrest pension reform protests. turned into opposition calls for us for sick nation. but on friday thousands of new guy once showed the president their support his cabinet to

be answered but there was no strike x. our government supporters at the foundation don't smash it there straight into politics crisis off the main highway the capital menow and most of the country remained mostly shut down streets empty gas stations banks shopping malls most businesses closed. but at the immigration offices a queue of people many feeling for their safety. is getting passports for her two sons get home until they could be kidnapped just because these students and i want to protect them. three months of bloody protests and limited science with civilians dying in the crossfire the one hundred twenty people who remain disappeared and hundreds wounded among them some of the students trapped under the gun they say of police and paramilitary but in asuncion.
1:16 pm
this is that he's off about zero still to come on the program calm restored to the streets of haiti but the political unrest in the country continues i will tell you why an attempt to save endangered rhinos in kenya ended in disaster. later in sport belgium looked to beat england the game to end the world cup on. saturday marks the third anniversary of the iran nuclear deal the u.s. a sense withdrawn from it warning that it will reinstate full sanctions against iran in november but european leaders are trying to work with iran to save the landmark agreement as the reports. it was a moment many doubted would ever happen the signing of a nuclear deal with the rand. three years later its survival is very much in
1:17 pm
question european powers are doing what they can to keep the deal live but the challenges may be too difficult to overcome the iran deal is defective at its core president donald trump denounced the u.s. withdrawal in may describing the deal as one sided under the agreement to rend limited its uranium stockpile and nuclear program sanctions were lifted allowing to her on to resume trading oil and gas on the international market. in germany britain france along with russia and china want to make a deal work without the u.s. but talks in vienna have let a little progress and they may all face american sanctions if they continue to do business with iran but it ran on the other hand once guarantees. for you both what we want from the countries who signed the agreement is a clear commitment that preserves the rights of iranians that this includes all
1:18 pm
economic factors because the agreement is a nuclear political and economic deal at a nato meeting in brussels trumps in death confident that's never that iran would in the future return to the negotiating table and now they have a lot of problems on their economy is collapsing but i will tell you this at a certain point they're going to call me and they're going to say let's make a deal and we'll make a deal but they are they're feeling a lot of pain right now. trumps administration accuses to herat of what it calls destabilizing behavior in the middle east which is one reason why iran and more specifically its role in syria is expected to feature prominently during trump's upcoming summit with russian president vladimir putin iran has said the u.s. can't be trusted to keep its commitments for now to han is focusing on maintaining the core of the agreement and trying to limit the impact of looming sanctions. katia llopis is a young al-jazeera. colonise shot is a visiting fellow at the brookings doha center he joins us now live from skype. in
1:19 pm
germany thanks for being with us under the threat of the u.s. sanctions in november what chance is there now that the european nations can keep this nuclear deal alive. because a lot of. announcing that they work with. iran. and it also. might be. coming. because what happens if european efforts fail. i mean it's very difficult to say. what the europeans. have to do basically lobby and walking together.
1:20 pm
when it comes to sanctions on their companies the. european. but. if you're a. player on the trade and the car. that you're wrong. and you. work. from having it. just for a moment suppose that the european effort successful in europe keeps. the idea lives russia as you say continues to trade and buy iranian oil where does this leave the united states then isolated or is going to kick back. well.
1:21 pm
it is not really clear on iran some say that clearly. stated that i think you know the trumpet a mistake. by them. as being. the lake that unilaterally be calling them the united states has a lot of our. us back and we act and not it really. has no weight. on doing that. but the other country not only european countries but not. importing iranian oil will be back. by.
1:22 pm
the us is not really isolated because. good to talk to somebody thanks for being with us. u.s. president donald trump is expected to face more protests in scotland where he's on the third and final leg of his u.k. visit tens of thousands of people turned out in cities across the country on friday to voice their disapproval of trump he has no official engagement in scotland and he's expected to spend time playing golf at a resort but he status here in the baba joins us now live from. we say that he's expected to face more protests there in scotland in reality deem he's come anywhere near these protesters and they're not going to come anywhere near him all day. no you're right agents pretty much a similar picture to what happens it england president trump arrived at prestwick
1:23 pm
airports not far from gaza go on friday evening and he had his straight for the gopher result he owns trump turnberry on the west coast of scotland he woke up there this morning and tweeted the following i've arrived in scotland and will be at trump turnberry for two days of meetings calls and hopefully some goals my primary form of exercise the weather is beautiful in this place is incredible well he may hold his team may have already caused a gaffe they tweeted earlier on that the president had left the u.k. for scotland that's apparently now been deleted now he may be enjoying himself here and it is of course the country. the birth country of his mother. and prime minister to resign me on friday did actually present him with a family history of his relatives in scotland there is there's very much if you talk to people around here there is a lot of animosity towards the u.s. president of course not everybody is opposed to him but there were sizable numbers
1:24 pm
in gods go on friday evening and in about an hour from now here next to the scottish parliament a march will set off it's being called a scotland united against trump they'll be marching past the u.s. consulate here in the scottish capital on to a park called the meadows for a carnival of resistance with lots of events some of them a family themed things like throw the welly donald so it's all in the the the line of satire and humor trying to say that donald trump is not welcome in the u.k. that we speakers from most of the political parties here including the ruling s.n.p. the first minister nicola sturgeon has decided not to be his she's in glasgow leading the pride parade in a few hours from now but some of her party will be there and there have been strong editorials in a lot of the scottish newspapers opposing donald. it's policies on things like immigration those themes are going to be highlighted here as well as things like
1:25 pm
the environment and women's rights the protests won't be as large here as they were in london but they should be quite colorful there are some protests is already near the turnberry goal for resort way he is but they're being kept at some distance they've been denied permission to fly that trump baby balloon that we saw in london but it's expected to make an appearance here in edinburgh sometime today and of the many thanks indeed nadine barber there live in edinburgh will james boys is associate professor of international political studies at richmond university joins us now live from london james one could perhaps imagine prime minister to resign may breathing a sigh of relief now that the the dust has begun to settle after trump's world wind visit what do you make of it yes no doubt about it i think that downing street will be very happy now that donald trump has has departed from the london region and he's now obviously still in the u.k. let's not forget in scotland. when you see the complete contradiction though
1:26 pm
between what donald trump was saying when he first morning here compared to what he was saying with his press conference with theresa may though it's very difficult to quite get a grip about where donald trump stands on anything quite frankly attacking troops in maine the morning praising her in the afternoon suggesting that britain was basically much at the back of the queue wants more in a post deal and then contradicting that in the in the afternoon so it's very very contradictory certainly the streets of london last night were heaving with tens if not hundreds of thousands of people protesting against this presidential visit how much diplomatic damage though has he left in his wake. well he's been referred to as the chaos president and i think he certainly delivered upon of that when you consider the the bizarre habit he has of pulling facts and figures which are completely spurious off the top of his head and presenting
1:27 pm
them as facts very makes my very very difficult because as soon as you try to enter into the world to diplomacy you know you want to talk in a concerted concrete manage dealing with absolute facts i don't trump seems to be making things up on the hoof as he goes along talk about contributing ninety percent of the costs of nato for example when the reality is closer to twenty so you know the the idea that he is coming here stirring things up both at a nato level and with regard to brics it is very very troubling i think they try to sort of smooth things over at the press or at checkers yesterday but i think that much of the headline is going to be about the chaos rather than the calm james after a weekend of golf then he heads for health. for his meeting with russia's president vladimir putin on monday trump predicted yesterday that that meeting would be easier than the meetings he's had with his allies this week he says putin is friends but his competitor well can we expect. well life got even more
1:28 pm
interesting overnight don't forget just as dawn trunk was preparing to meet with her majesty the queen the department of justice handed down a series of indictments against a twelve i believe members of the g.r.u. that's russia's military unit effectively for hacking into the democratic national committee at the height of the presidential election in fact the very day after dark trump urged russians to do just that it's now turned out that it's believed that roger stone a very close confidant of president trump was on the receiving end of some of that information that makes life very very difficult going into this meeting these calls from washington before this meeting to be canceled on the basis that this infringement into american democracy has occurred it makes it very very difficult for donald trump to stand up and say well maybe russia did it maybe they didn't when every american intelligence community has said it and now the d.o.j. has identified the very individuals who they believe were responsible for how that
1:29 pm
doesn't cast a shadow over this meeting anybody knows quite frankly it's really good to talk to you many thanks indeed. coming up on the meteorologist richard angwin turning on the heat and then. to baghdad people in iraq protest against high unemployment and poor services. back in pakistan straight to jail now as should be for terms to his homeland to fight his corruption conviction that in sport will tell you about the longest ever single semifinal match played in a grand slam that'll be in a row twenty two. i. mean the weather sponsored by. twenty eighteen is shaping up to be a quite remarkable year weather wise for those of you who are skeptical about the
