11:23 pm
a senior member of sudan's ruling national congress party. is an activist stand out as a reporter how would you say his mortgage hello everybody is really good to have you here here you've reported on sudan for a very long time these protests what makes them different as far as you're concerned. well i think the fact that it went on for so long was quite interesting we've seen protests over the past few years twenty top twenty thirteen beginning of january twenty equal have been protesting all all these over the the economy about the rise in bread prices right and food i want to see prices but the fact that this what went on for more than three weeks actually now three weeks right now is i don't think and the response you know usually people are afraid once they are faced by it live ammunition and tear gas but this time they seem to be very determined. you've been out in the streets you have been protested you've even been detained what happened to. well firstly i would like to come back to the point why it's different it's actually different because the stone is just some kind of leadership
11:24 pm
there so that means professional associations it's which is a body of many but only an workers unions and their unions is calling for this but this does the reason it's different many different stuff i went protesting on the on the twenty fifth of december and again on the thirty first of december i was at a school on the thirty first group to be done by security agents in plainclothes in. yeah and i was a police of the same day. from a police station along with other twenty detained of hundreds are both are still detained and hardcore many more are also troubled. rami i'm getting in a lot of response from people on social media even though social media has been cut off in sudan people using v.p.n. in order to get around the fact the not able to get online so easily national here
11:25 pm
on twitter says the solidarity of the sudanese people has never been so strong thousands in any one area have been active in the demonstrations what do you make of that. yes i think that these demonstrations. the government due to some reason the unifi of the reasons behind these protests and is the most efficient are no maybe and will be initially because of the rise of the prices of. necessity communities like grip and also the shortage of fuel in now the problem of shortage of poor fuel spins in now solve this. the problem of obesity is not solved but some steps taken by the go to solve all of the crises that. the protests at the restrictions against the government and they think
11:26 pm
now they are the those people who are protesting but not like before about and also if we compare them with the supporters of the government will not find any comparison between the supporters and those people who are protesting and they think that the government is very keen to solve the problem because of the problems and to fill the cup of the economy in a very short period of time according to a very quick plan and this plan of action i think that has taken out place the effect the positive effect of this plan is now very obvious and this is solve the problem this problem is not money not a political problem but the economical problem due to. the thing mr. i argue with you that the prices in bread and the shortage of fuel is anything but the main reason is that people realize why that is high prices for bread i live in shortening if you and the people realize that there is an if this government does
11:27 pm
that that the corruption that your government have been working under it for thirty years is the reason why we have shortened fuel and and that she said. you know you know that. eighty percent of your budget is going towards protecting your and the government eighty percent of the good of the budget is not going to education or health care or anything it is literally going into creating more militias to protect the region because your new diff there will come you have you always knew this day will come here i see you not in go ahead tell us what's behind the country what you really want and we've heard repeatedly wouldn't there be any of that have you had sort of the year two thousand up to two sounds a living cover minute i mean that's run before the second of the so i was so that is a country to see a lot of experts say it's from different countries that have three different asia including syria. even when i'm with you. and other countries and
11:28 pm
before the secession of the south there was no problem but i think that after that you have to certainly living under a lot of the movie or the throat so that i started to suffer from this. troublesome thing or to lesser. extent to the sanctions that imposed that in the sudan says no no we will probably not of course when i don't know sanctions and so i'm actually not going to get there ever a chance or actually join in the conversation so i because i had me a little bit conscience have been lifted in twenty seventeen and we've seen economy instead getting worse i've been covering sudan before the sanctions and after the sanctions and you can see that things have not been improving things are getting worse and people are saying that despite the crisis going away it seems to i mean back repeatedly so it would be a month of bread of billable fuel available but then it comes back again and there will be long lines of of of people waiting for to get bread long lines of people going to try to get fuel and people are we see people lining every single day
11:29 pm
trying to get access to some more cash so you can think that people are just going to be able to. be the problem will be solved today and that people should be happy because they're saying that it. not about the economy policy it's about the fact that the government is not able to handle its budget just like that eighty percent is going to where the military spending and the security spending and not going into health care not going into education or going into development mr abbott can i put this to you this comes from life and you change the conversation that's happening right now as we're watching the strain why has the government blocked off the internet for a direct question yes actually i don't think that the go up. now i am using internet on this is very clear that no scope as we have now are seeing. or so hearing my voice i don't think that maybe is a bit blocked i miss
11:30 pm
a couple that we can go please with that and you know interruption interruption is not good about some of the either to let me i'm only i'm interrupting i'm talking with my son also our lives and i'm good when i'm out in the comments or not it is not it is not actually being even because i own view of it and i sometimes know any interest around me is not wrong and to understand everything someone says so if i don't think about it at the time that we start or the other just also they would not want to speak to complete what that there are they want to say but actually this is you have to give me up for just completing and finishing then mr imus or i'll give up all sort of start to what they want to comment about or what they want to give a little nuts so then the internet is not blocked on that. the internet is very blocked social media specifically if there is a procedure they blocked facebook twitter and instagram. social media really you
11:31 pm
cannot access them without yes you can you can use skype and you can you can use google you tube do but there's no way to use what's up or facebook or twitter without of the. mystery of the other not to send a message or what's up without the you would not be able to move on someone here is a pharmacist let me share this bit of her back story here and she's been participating in the protest organized by the sudanese professionals association and she's been involved in various forms of protest performed on the streets and on the media and in the media she says this. these pictures here for public protest it's a partial shutdown of pharmacies performed today that's on monday by pharmacies in a wide madani in support of demands of the sudanese people here i'm just wondering if these protests are now being organized and attended by the middle class of sudan
11:32 pm
by professionals of sudan does that give this protest more power. well yes i mean let's realize that at this point it's seems to be every level of sudanese communities we're looking at people who have been facing economic crisis lower class lower income people who are also looking at people from middle class people who are well off there are protesting because it's going from the economy and our people are protesting the government itself it's not just about the fact that the country is facing high prices and inflation they think it's the way the country is governed the fact that they can't express themselves freely you know journalists are being evil can't come out and just express we've seen teachers yesterday just holding banners and being detained and beaten and arrested just because of that so it's not just about the fact that things are expensive in the market but there is no fuel this thing has quickly escalated from the economy to now the government and the fact there is so many restraints that the government is imposing so many restrictions about living in sudan generally not just the economy let me bring in
11:33 pm
the voice of men had madam was tweeting to us at the stream and said i think it's about time that you look at the protests in sudan and she also sent us this fadia comment to help us with the conversation have a look have a listen we're going through this scene in just this gold rush in the dollar shoe this management of our sources is looking into this so this is a little weak health that still exists so the issues have been going through and tough times recently climate is high social instability are on the rise our used to lose you hold the line and so when people also go into the street simply to give us hope that we can write our own future deadly disease. maybe i'm wondering if this is a very strong new opposition that is asking for their government to be different
11:34 pm
for their government to be changed. yes absolutely i accept also the opinions about. political system in any country and. even you have no position we have a position but this opposition if we look to get through it we can see that this opposition is absolutely no way no way. this is actually very clear from the results of the last election that working to solve it but we think that. the free expression to express your opinion is allowed. and that was according to the law that should be tested by. twenty. five people who incidentally have been is to be to be to be absolutely. to be cleared for the people not
11:35 pm
accept the call. for a fifth of people they invite the right to the property of the property or the government and this is would not be allowed because actually we have. ruled out of things that. you know before the or. whenever that is the hard for people actually when. it is that. this when it says yes. you could if he said it to be instead of being in such cases. that the police came and that you have an agenda. i guess i don't. know that means about the thing most. violent or. legal or illegal for us to do. so you think that
11:36 pm
this is that we want to manage this is extended will be in between the opposition and the government and we are not working out so i. hope that we live here which will be it won't be so that the people will see that the government that will rule the country and also say look the opposition we are here wouldn't work because you still for peaceful extinct or poor or between different i'm going to fall in the us so a little bit are going to make you go faster and i don't have a defense because she was trying to actually interject i mean and then you come second go ahead and give them each well is that i mean first of all let's remember that the elections that you were talking about in twenty fifteen a lot of the opposition boycotted it's weekends it was inclusive you can say it represents all the parties that were in sudan and when you're talking about express freedom of expression people have been arrested simply for going out and protesting and you're
11:37 pm
accusing protestors of basically destroying properties and of looting properties i've been in one of those protests and actually others as well and i've we've been observing those protests and i've seen that these protests have been largely peaceful and they have not been very violent as the government is saying what happens is the police are firing tear gas the police are high level munitions we've seen people injured leading so you can see that these protesters are violating any law and you're organizing the government is the ruling party is organizing protests and they've been granted security the security forces are going to be standing with these people where pro-government but those people who are trying to express their opinion and say that they don't want this government and they want syria gene change they've been they've been met with live ammunition and tear gas and i don't think that's fair to be honest i'm at. yes but before the elections that are you know the minister of interior today confirmed that nineteen people died in the protests two of them police officers and of course the number is a lot higher than that supports it around fourteen but let's stick to the
11:38 pm
government number nineteen people were killed two of their police officers according to your interior minister what are the steps your government is going to take. towards that before you talk about an actual let's let's discuss the people who died protesting this government now yes i think that you know all people. or. protest should be a subject for it is to guess and by whatever it is and always be. patient killing you know protestors it will actually be asked to be punished according to the law and the call to the criminal walk and also the uprising that. over the country we choose from. really this is also will be a subject for. terrorism and for us if you have to remove all these reasons behind
11:39 pm
. that the people's no those who are these people and i think that now the government is going out a lot of where it is not a government of national congress party or more than twenty or thirty parties now they are parts of this government which is a government of a quarter of a regular on the side and we are now where. those are. not that we believe that. i can now do you agree none of your queen and mr abbey i understand that let me just bringing the voice of president al bashir and he was talking on about the way that his government was handling the protests have a lot. we do not kill people we are here to provide protection and a life of dignity and luxury however and then only the righteous will prevail what
11:40 pm
message. is a policeman hey this is done in the end for obliged to use weapons in order to strengthen our security and we must use them with the least force and damage possible. so as we've been speaking and dress sent us this tweet this is the biggest challenge faced by al bashir in twenty nine years it's no longer about the bread but the dignity of the sudanese people and then we go from ok this is how the protest but where will they end up where she is regime says armani has been and continues to be detrimental to sudan and its people every single level we will require decades of strenuous effort to recover from thirty years of damage no reform will think this is not fit to be president he never was hipper there were so many calls lal for the president to stand down not the first time but many more cause this time what do you think might happen. well unless term of the
11:41 pm
elections are coming in twenty percent the odds are this is going to be the situation if the protesters and the opposition can come together and try to form a solid stance and negotiate with the government and for the government or some kind of compromise and this is what's going to happen and so elections coming twenty twenty but then the government says that it's not going to step down with no common ground right now there is no middle ground for the two sides to come together to a table and try to work things out so it's very hard to see how this would put us as a very determined and the opposition is now giving them their support and that they have legitimate reasons to be out on the street so this is going to be going going on for a long while and let the opposition and the process come together and form a solid hand and the president able where he says ok this is my plan i'm going to be governing and so i had over time and time government or an interim council as they want. and i'd let me put this tweet from a g.'s a he describes you as a protester as cannon fodder protest me to get smarter unfocused range plans out

11:50 pm
a life sentence for murder has been granted clemency and people on social media are celebrating it as a victory i'm satisfied with the latest on this and twenty browns case and much more said sweetly life throughout the show. eighty great. year with a newsreader live on air we're streaming online through you tube facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com thanks for joining us u.s. allies have been unsettled by donald trump's plans to pull troops out of syria to reassure them he is the sponsor his top diplomat my pump aoe on a tour of the middle east he's currently in jordan and will travel on to egypt saudi arabia kuwait and qatar meanwhile the national security adviser john bolton is seeking reassurances from turkey that it won't target america's kurdish allies in northern syria but president publicly rejected any compromise on groups that he
11:51 pm
considers terrorists. he says bolton has made a serious mistake and whoever thinks like this is also made a mistake it is not possible for us to make a compromise on this point those who are part of the terror corridor in syria will receive the necessary lesson there is no difference between the p.k. k. the waikiki the p.y.t. and i saw we are determined to take steps against these terrorist organizations we will mobilize to neutralize them in syria land very soon. let's cross over to john allen who unpack the story for us he is joining us out of ankara so we heard earlier on giving a statement there about bolton didn't get a meeting with but he did see his presidential spokesman. did they agree on a specific way forward. well i mean it was never on the agenda that he would meet the president the fact that. the president advice
11:52 pm
and failed to come out with a joint press conference would indicate that they didn't agree on a way forward to reach a final agreement a final deal as you mentioned the central to the disagreement between washington is with. the kurdish militia group on the ground now washington's been arming them and funding them for the past couple of years now under the pretext of fighting i saw them being more effective on the ground turkey on the other hand says well they're just an extension of the p.k. k. which and has considered as well as actually washington as a terrorist organization that has attacked and killed. over the years but it's not just about whether american withdrawal would allow for the turks then to target kurdish. civilians depending on who you speak to in this discussion but more importantly is the fact that there are so many weapons. and the fact that the u.s. military has set up several bases in. turkey is concerned it is concerned it is
11:53 pm
worried that those weapons and if a withdrawal doesn't take place in the orderly fashion that that could also impact in terms of other resurgence groups or military groups forming even empowering the ones that it considers and classifies namely the wife. it would appear based on the official statement coming from bolton said that whilst it was a constructive meeting they have identified key points to further discuss that essentially is. to say well we failed to agree and hopefully we'll continue to discuss things until we reach some sort of an agreement yes at the same time to moderate a lot has said this that turkey has completed. military operations in syria and will not seek permission what does that exactly mean as turkey prepared to go at it alone at their own time when they the sites. well i mean i put that question to. advisor right after his meeting with.
11:54 pm
direct answer he said you know the fight against terrorism should continue. to hinder than it should be exclusive to purely fighting. in terms of readiness turkey is ready there and i mean they have been engaged in military operations inside syria for the best part of two years in fact even more than that since the operation euphrates shield began in two thousand and sixteen i believe and so therefore militarily they are ready or at least their presence on the border and on the other side of the border actually rather pushed out i saw and the why p.g. from areas like. some other things but whether they would do it alone is difficult to see considering the fact that with the americans being present there how messy you could be or forgetting the fact that the russians there's the syrian. other militia groups on the ground there as far as turkey is concerned it's a question in america are you going to essentially puts your partner in the y.p.
11:55 pm
. in a more significant position than your ally in nature or will you choose to side by us in our fight against what they described to be terrorist threats. reporting from ankara thank you so as i mentioned my pompei o is kicking off his middle east tour in jordan the us secretary of state insisted the decision to pull out troops from syria wouldn't impact efforts to fight isis so and contain iran here's what he sent . that barack to start the presidency to withdraw folks of syria in no way impacts our capacity to deliver on that you'll see the coming days and weeks we are redoubling not only are diplomatic but our commercial efforts for real pressure on iran to achieve what it is we set out for them back in may these are simple asks we ask the public of iraq to behave like a normal nation and the coalition is just as committed to it today as it was
11:56 pm
yesterday stephanie decker covering the story from amman that is where she is joining us from so what more the pompei will have to say in that press conference of what was the main message that he was trying to put out there stuff and. was something really groundbreaking but he did as you heard there men tain the fact that this pullout and that it was going to happen was not going to impact its fight against isis today and also you know dealing with iran's threat in the region that was basically the main message and as as always in these press conferences no they they hailed by lateral toys how important jordan was as a partner in the region so this was the main message it comes an interesting time period because also today just now in the last hour or so we had a retired general anthony zinni who basically was tossed by this administration to deal to try and find some kind of solution to the gulf blockade the book laid on concert where he has resigned and american media quoting him saying that basically
11:57 pm
his toss was made very difficult by all the need is of the countries who weren't allowed in some form of mediation so this is the context now that might bump aoe goes into any visits the country you mentioning saudi arabia kuwait that is mediating and qatar so yes so this is always it's gets a cold controversial start to any tour also with you were mentioning turkey but again the main message here is that the united states despite the conflict in messages coming from this administration despite the many resignations remains a steadfast ally on the ground. of all these countries he will be visiting he's moving to cairo tomorrow and what we understand will be giving some form of speech interestingly that's the ten year anniversary that we saw the former president barack obama gave his speech there on middle east policy so will be interesting to see how exactly what he's going to say well we know that the u.s. and jordan are long longstanding. stephanie but what do you make of the fact that he decided to start this tour in jordan and how much is he setting the tone for the
11:58 pm
rest of his trips. i don't think it means that it's any more significant than their country but jordan is a real important ally in the middle east his first trip as secretary of state during in april visiting three countries saudi arabia israel and also jordan you mentioned that again today in the press conference he said it was my first stop it's almost as if i came here before i went to work because he hasn't yet he hadn't yet been to his office in his capacity as secretary of state that now jordan is important why there's a lot of intelligence sharing they've worked together extensively in the fight against isis also if you look at the geography of jordan during the borders saudi arabia borders iraq it borders israel it borders the west bank so it is strategically significant as well they don't see eye to eye on many things jordan is not happy about the fact that this administration has decided to cut funds to
11:59 pm
unruh that is the u.n. body that deals with palestinian refugees jordan wants to see a solution to the middle east peace process we heard there from the foreign ministers saying that as far as the jordanians were concerned the main issue the key issue that needed to be resolved was the issue between israel and palestine and that meant a sovereign state palestinians have the right to freedom and that is something that they wanted to see now of course the deal of the century has been delayed again but certainly that is something that they will be discussing he's currently meeting with king abdullah so aside from syria and iran we know the palestinian issue is one that they will be pressing here all right so stephanie thank you we're also covering the story from washington and that's where it is joining us from well first start out with a pompei on jordan then kimberly will move on to bolton in turkey so pompei o said this that we are redoubling diplomatic and commercial efforts to put pressure on iran while he was speaking at that press conference and i'm on what more do we know about the. well we know already that there are very strict sanctions in place it
12:00 am
seemed that he was almost foreshadowing that there would be more actions to come but offering very little specifics i think what we're seeing here is kind of the trump effect the president will tweet he'll say something he'll rattle u.s. allies including jordan where the u.s. secretary of state is currently meeting and then he has to kind of dispatch his. advisors if you will cabinet members to go and reassure allies that everything still on track and i think when you pull back from this that's what we're seeing right now whether we're talking about iran whether we're talking about syria so with respect to iran you're right we did see this sort of underscoring by the secretary of state this statement that the united states is redoubling its efforts diplomatically commercially to counter runs of malign influence in other words what the secretary of state is saying is look at we haven't.
