after as we speak now there are people in the streets in eastern khartoum for testing after the end of the funeral of a third casualty a sixty year old man. who has just been buried there are conflicting reports about the age of the boy who was killed and what we have the latest information we have is that he is a teenager fourteen year old other reports said he was a baby who died during the protests yesterday but i mean i loved that he's a baby anyway these protests are set to continue according to all the signs that we have today is friday usually a day when protesters have an easy excuse to meet and cover for their meeting in mosques and after the end of the by the way they come out in big numbers the police has been have been able to stand in areas where protests were planned ahead of time and prevent hundreds from converging in those spots but now today we're

expecting that they will not be able to do that so this anger with only rise and rise and get bigger as the hours of the day progress indeed may have been of course as we see the government response becoming swifter earn stronger the u.n. is also weighing in warning khartoum to be very careful. yes the un and the e.u. and other rights organizations have condemned the use of violence and the use of the excessive use of force by the sudanese government but we don't see a reaction by way of compliance on the part of the sudanese government in that respect three people killed during the last twenty four hours is a big call in terms of what's been happening in the last several weeks we are in the fourth week of the end of the fourth week of this protest and both sides are not showing any signs of of reducing the tension the government has bet on heavy handedness in this respect protesters are saying they will not they

will not go down to their homes or not leave the streets until the government is removed from power this is that it seems that has been in power for about thirty years now and omar bashir during the last several days he reiterated the fact that he will not move to not be unhinged or moved by these protests under the way the only way to change the regime is by ballot boxes the economy the indications are that the government is not being able until now to fix the economy they are talking about a new currency notes to be added to the to help the banks in their operations they were talking about as of salaries but people here are still waiting for any of those things to show up and they are also doubting that these measures will fix the situation so all science indicate that this situation is not about to be resolved soon of course we'll continue to follow vince with you through the day for the moment mohammed dahlan called him thank you. well still ahead here on the

a former us associate deputy attorney general he says if true the allegations make impeachment more likely. well i think this takes the impeachment. prospect to a new level but what mr cohen is testifying to if it's true from buzz feed is that a crime to which he is already pled guilty lying to congress was really part of a conspiracy with the president to mislead and frustrate the oversight function of the legislative branch. that clearly in my judgment would be a high crime and misdemeanor justifying impeachment based upon articles of impeachment voted against richard nixon and william jefferson clinton i remember this is a case where the president is alleged now to obstruct in the functioning of a co-equal branch of government it's not necessarily a payoff to a pornstar but this goes to the heart and soul of our separation of powers an

institutional integrity here and that is what i believe makes it far more likely to push an impeachment i think we can expect the chairman of the house judiciary committee to issue a subpoena after mr cohen testifies asking that mr trump under oath rebut anything that mr cohen may have alleged. doldrums blaming the u.s. government shutdown of all counseling next week's trip by the american delegation to the world economic forum in switzerland he's also script a planned visit by overseas house speaker nancy pelosi she suggested trying to delay his plans state of the union address if the longest u.s. government shutdown in history doesn't this week the deadlock between trump on the democrats is over building a wall on the border with mexico it's twenty. this senseless shutdown is inflicting great pain and every part of our country every day the impact spread impacts spread reaching the lives of hardworking americans these are

my upcoming budget will invest in a space based missile defense layer its new technology. it's ultimately going to be a very very big part of our defense and obviously. offense that would be a shift felt worldwide but some experts were quick to point out what the president promised is not actually in the pentagon plan the review itself says the united states is very interested in seeking a three way or in space so satellites that could observe missile launches and detect them sooner but there isn't any mention of putting weapons in space yet pentagon said that it would do another study over the next six months or the usability of that idea this sounds like science fiction and it would be exceedingly expensive they want to come up with a laser with the technology doesn't exist yet that they could put on drones to

potentially shoot down missiles as they're being a lot so how much would all of that cost while there was a briefing here at the pentagon with senior officials the question was asked over and over again and they refused to answer. bottom line it's easy for the president to make big promises but the pentagon is a backdrop getting money to do it well that's a much harder thing to do particularly al jazeera the pentagon's own investigative journalist who helped expose corruption in the african football has been shot dead in dollars capital hussein swallows part of an undercover team which accuse the head of the football association of accepting bribes he was forced to resign i'm a boating to pull stuff from across. relatives and friends gather at the family home of the murdered journalist ahmed hussein. he was shot multiple times just outside his home in accra and what appears to be a targeted killing almost all do is from the north the other family from this place

police academy in the country about eighty kilograms of explosives carried in a vehicle driven into the academy compound and detonated as a promotion ceremony for cadets was taking place soon after the blast family members gathered outside the academy desperately looking for information. the task of identifying the dead now underway. colombia's president who had been attending a security meeting in the west of the country rushed back to the capital he described the attacked as an act of terror against an armed policemen all we get is an attack not only against the young security forces or the police it's an attack against society this demented terror. act will not go unpunished the explosion ripped through the surrounding area damaging apartment buildings the family lives a kilometer away from the scene of the explosion yet the windows of their

apartments were shattered. we heard a giant rumble the entire house started moving like an earthquake in the windows shattered i was so scared i started crying. literally general office says they have the man driving the car bomb and says the vehicle was registered in a stronghold of the last active rebel group in the country in all don't know when this claimed responsibility for the attack. colombia ratify the peace accord with rebels in two thousand and sixteen but other groups remain active and are fighting for the lucrative drug trafficking and illegal mining in remote areas of the country this is the worst attack in almost a decade and there is no doubt that it has rattled many nerves both here in the capital and across the country have been eager to close the door on their very violent past but there's no doubt there's such an atrocious attack like this for many here might seem as if that dark past might be creeping back.

in the u.s. to discuss a possible second summit between donald trump and. arrived. in washington d.c. he's been leading denuclearization talks with washington and is expected to meet with secretary of state. well earlier president trump said that pyongyang is still an extraordinary threat. from south korea's capital seoul. the expected meeting between u.s. secretary of state might come peo and north korean official kim yong chill is expected to restart the momentum that was lost on denuclearization talks between north korea and the u.s. it also comes amid all the positive signals that we've been seeing in the region recently south korean president had urged north korea to take bold practical action toward nuclear disarmament now he had also urged the u.s.

to consider declaring a formal end to the korean war to encourage north korea to take more steps towards giving up its nuclear program and we've also seen north korean leader kim jong visit beijing to meet with chinese president xi jinping possibly to strategize over a possible upcoming meeting between u.s. president donald trump and kim jong il and now progress since that first meeting took place in singapore in june last year has stalled we've had very little concrete evidence that north korea is getting rid of its nuclear arsenal it has yet to announce a timetable it's still operating its missile bases and it's thought to be continuing to improve its missile capabilities in fact a recently released report by the u.s. missile defense review concluded that north korea remains a significant threat now essentially north korea and the u.s. consulate gree on what denuclearization should look like the u.s.

wants complete and verifiable denuclearization north korea argues that that would put it in a defenseless position and it wants its actions to be met by corresponding actions by the u.s. either in the form of removing some sanctions or removing its strategic military assets from south korea so that's a huge chasm between the two countries but talks on denuclearization between the u.s. and north korea are still seen as a possible new avenue to peace. the european union has imposed taurus on rice exports from cambodia and lots. of been hurting european producers that's also putting cambodia or notice over its human rights record when he reports. for the past decade cambodia has had one of the best performing economies in the world thanks largely to the biggest buyer of its goods europe but the european union isn't happy and is taking action it's impose tariffs on rice from cambodia and me

and my after three years following a complaint from italy the italians want to protect their rights industry from falling prices caused by imports from the two countries that surged eighty percent in the past five seasons until now cambodia and me and maher enjoyed tariff free access to european markets under a program designed to help developing countries despite being planned for some time the announcement from the e.u. seemed to catch the cambodian government off guard. the ministry just received the official statement which is sixty four pages long from the a few minutes ago so we will discuss the details internally first i apologize we have to delay the press conference. the news gets worse with the e.u. signaling it will also place tariffs on all other goods from cambodia as punishment for what it says is a deterioration in democracy and human rights ahead of last july's election the government launched a crackdown on dissent which resulted in the largest opposition party being

disbanded prime minister hun sen has remained publicly defiant in the face of increased pressure and scrutiny from the west which has come amid a surge of investment and trade with china privately his attitude may be different though given that cambodian businesses osip to become less competitive in their biggest markets europe. the first step initiated by the e.u. in october will see cambodia under investigation for six months after which the formal process of imposing tariffs will begin the move would be particularly hard on the garment sector which employs around eight hundred thousand people activists say the action by europe provides an opportunity for the government to clean up its act it's very important for the government to make sure that you know they have the capacity enough to maintain the in wester and also to build the trade in wire months and strengthen the link only can isms reduce corruption europe buys more than forty percent of cambodia's exports but right now the old saying that the

customer is always right doesn't seem to be holding true wayne hay al jazeera phnom penh. if you rebels are rejecting the role of an expanded u.n. group of mortgages to oversee the ceasefire in yemen the un team tasked with supervising the troops came under fire in the city of the danger on thursday they were leaving a meeting with a yemeni government delegation when shots were fired no one was hurt just earlier the u.n. security council approved the deployment of seventy five more unarmed monitors to yemen palestinians have told al-jazeera they feel suffocated and trapped by the torturous process they're subjected to by israeli authorities just to go to work from long angry lines at checkpoints to tough travel restrictions many say they are just fed up with endless delays stephanie decker reports from one checkpoint in the occupied west bank. day after day they

rise hours before the sun. cold and cramped this is the only way for these palestinian workers to leave the occupied west bank to get to their jobs in israel . all of them have israeli work permits but we're told it can take up to two and a half hours to get through this checkpoint that was about it is the same thing every day this is not a live and what country in the world does this take place that only happens to us palestinians here because of the occupation these workers try to jump the queue for the record but there's little space down below. fights often break out here everyone is frustrated. yesterday was hotter than today they closed the doors for a while and we are trapped yeah a lot of the sure the suffering that we endure our work is one thing and the crossing is something else all our energy is taken from us here at this checkpoint so when a person loses all his energy here what is left if the israelis wanted we could

cross in five minutes to around five o'clock in the morning that we've been watching thousands of palestinians cross here in the last hour or so i don't think anyone who doesn't have to enjoy this on a day to day basis would ever understand what it's like. we also one of the workers to film this crossing for us once inside more hold ups and queues and more frustration israel maintains that these security measures are essential to prevent potential attacks. there are many checkpoints across the west bank this is the main entry point in and out of jerusalem from there's always heavy traffic and people are fed up you know every day they tell us they will find a solution when are they going to find a solution for this everyone is frustrated when they come to the checkpoint they lose their tempers we are a people who don't know what is going to happen to us. so many palestinians have

told us these measures make them feel suffocated and trapped there's been no movement on the political front no peace talks since two thousand and fourteen and a delay in the announcement of the us president donald trump's peace plan everyone we speak to says israel's occupation dictates their lives and there seems to be a resignation that there is nothing they can do to change that. stephanie decker al-jazeera bethlehem in the occupied west bank. more than one thousand people from honduras of crossed into mexico as part of a migrant caravan bound for the u.s. many of them like to be sent back home but they continue to risk the difficult trip to seek asylum after escaping violence and poverty back home monreal republic spoke to some of them in some. of. this bus arriving from mexico is dropping off a hundred migrants being returned home many were deported others like martin who

left with a migrant caravan last october have come back willingly. i tried crossing many times through mexicali picotee and i couldn't because we would be tear gassed or the place was too dangerous or too expensive that's why we decided to turn back. in some main bus station between three hundred and five hundred deportees are processed every day many of them are under the age of eighteen a local charity provides them with some money for food counseling and other services may say this bed is the charity manager says this should be the job of the honduran government. we're calling on the government because they should be providing attention to these people unfortunately it does not have real support programs to the school we as an organization can only provide assistance to a small portion of this population better than most of us and the. regional director of honduras is child services agency admits the challenges are great but so. the government is doing the best they can. we try to lessen the limitations

that might exist and assist as many hundreds as possible when they return from the migration route. in a poor neighborhood on the foothills of some pivotal we met. he's twelve years old but only now learning to read. he joined a migrant caravan in two thousand and eighteen travelling by himself he made it as far as chiapas mexico before being deported all of them. were unsure if we would stay or keep going we decided to go and then we were told there were a lot of people in the immigration office they took us to the airport and put us on an airplane and then your place to cough cough an hour later he was one of more than three thousand one hundred miners who were deported last year charity workers say some deportees report feeling suicidal and unwilling to stay in honduras feeling they are being thrown back into a life of violence and poverty they were trying to leave behind all of this points

to a failure to provide adequate assistance to migrants being sent back. lacking a more robust action by the national government to improve the lives of hundreds at home it isn't hard to see why so many keep trying to leave but if they send me back one hundred times i'll go back two hundred. heading home to see his daughter says it won't be long before he heads north once more. some pivotal suitor. scientists say we need to double the amount of fruit nuts and vegetables we eat and hols the amount of meat and sugar to make us and our planet healthy experts from sixteen countries say changing eating habits could prevent more than eleven million premature deaths a year by twenty fifty they say their ideal diet limits daily poultry consumption to twenty nine grams which is about one of the half chicken nuggets just seven grams of red meat the report published in the lancet medical journal adds that fish

would need to be limited to twenty eight grams a day and one in the hov exit weak person if you're worried this leave you hungry don't worry side to say you can fill up on five hundred grams of vegetables fruit every single day this is a crucial us are not going to be there tomorrow but it is important to have goals and some might call them. radical goals or progressive extreme goals even if we don't move strongly in that direction the kind of planet that we will turn over to our children will be a seriously degraded planet with unhealthy populations and that's not the kind of world i want my grandkids to be living here the three months going presidents are facing allegations of taking bribes of the testimony at the trial of el chapo guzman in new york the sixty one year old is facing charges of trafficking huge amounts of cocaine heroin and other drug.
