protesters are back on the streets in subband as anger grows over the government's crackdown on dissent student activists in the capital khartoum are demanding the resignation of the president bashir the opposition says forty seven people have now been killed since protests began last month when the government raised the price of bread president bashir is expected to arrive in cattle later on tuesday and an anti government activist in sudan has gone missing sources told al-jazeera that robert was arrested by security agents he was last seen on wednesday when he went shopping in the capital morgan joins us live now from the capital khartoum he more demonstrations today almost a growing concern about the way the government's cracking down on protesters and activists. yes indeed protests and often will have already started some of the

university students and hundreds on in the universe of what any are came out to protest against president i'm going to be sure and demand that he and his rule and step down now this has been going on for more than a month the biggest challenge to president obama to share since he came into power nearly thirty years ago and there doesn't seem to be any end to it but people have been very concerned about how security forces have been responding to the wave of our protesters the people who are demonstrating say they're very peaceful they're on armed and all they're trying to do is to get their message across to across the government that it should step down and hand over power to an interim independent counsel and to elections are held but in return security forces have been accused of using brutal force foreign governments and the like the e.u. the u.n. and the u.s. have accused sudan's government of using tear gas and live ammunition against protesters now the government said that it's not them who have been doing that tack but when during demonstrations they've been video surfacing of people armed men who are masked and who don't have a clear identity shooting at protesters so people are concerned and they've been questions about who exactly is doing the killings. the home of dr bao because he

didn't come to the house you know a constant stream of mourners since he was shot during an anti-government protest on thursday his house has also become a meeting place for supporters and sympathizers. who are well within reach of my five children he's my only son he never had a problem with anyone but he was always wanting to help those in need. three of our sisters are also doctors they say he was shot by members of the security forces are to makeshift clinic that he set up in the capital. the family showed us a photo of a man in civilian clothes pointing a gun to words the house while their brother was treating the wounded. though some saw a video of a shooting nearby on the same time a teased to protest as well want to. buy a colleague try to rescue the doctor who was shot. a messy oh you've

heard. the word that the people who were killed in sudan look killed because they did anything wrong look i think it's got broke and not a single house broken the people who are going out. to say you know if you screw it . i'm. a forensic expert says the doctor was shot from behind. we found pieces of metal in the room and in the lower part of his lung they'll be studied to determine the caliber and the type of weapon used a. sedan a security forces and police deny any role in the killing of protesters with the. us police never used any law of fire to any protest sites or any other occasion we never use live bullets in any situation. the same denials have been to eternity today by the head of intelligence and the target of the protesters anger president

on bashir. we have now arrested people who belong to the abdul wahed had militia and they had knowledge they were given orders to mix with protesters and kill them in order to stoke conflict and destroy the country the governing security doesn't kill people the weapon that's been used to kill dr abdul baccarat abdul hamid is not any type that our army or police possess or any that exists in sudan. by god i say it's the regime that killed my son i will never doubt my certainty about it but i give in with our media and i'm sure they purposefully decided to kill doctors but my sister was arrested with the others they detained this told them that they were specifically looking for doctors who helped protest is that. the type of force being used by the government to quell the protests is adding to the controversy and confusion about the killings the

government has employed militia to help the army combat armed groups in sudan for decades what's attracting attention now these militia men are mosque in their faces while attacking an arm of civilians in the streets of khartoum and other major cities and i think what they what they think it then there is a very dangerous and unprecedented situation now when men in civilian clothes can carry guns battens a mosque their faces to confront protestors this proves the existence of a shadow army which is seniors ruling party leader talked about and yet you see in more than one with him in the who do. as protesters chant peaceful peaceful they are drowned out by gunfire and tear gas. scenes of collective punishment like this are say the government's opponents a daily occurrence. so is the break into homes our security forces severely beat anyone suspected of hiding protesters the government says

twenty six people have been killed so far in a month of protests to demand the better life rights groups say the total is at least double that the government's announced the setting up of an official commission of inquiry but protests that broke out over the rising of the cost of living last month continue to intensify and spread across the country and with every new protest to kill hundreds more turn out demanding an end to the thirty year rule of president bashir. dizzier khartoum zimbabwe's human rights commission is accusing security forces of systematic torture after recent protests that turned violent president. is calling for a national dialogue to address the process of a rising living costs not going to use twitter to condemn demonstrations which he said were not peaceful but he also criticized the police response he said violence or misconduct by our security forces is unacceptable and a betrayal of the new zimbabwe chaos and insubordination will not be tolerated

but there are several key global leaders who are not attending including us president donald trump diplomatic editor james bays in davos for us now james oh what a difference a year makes davos just isn't the same this year as it. it's not the same and there clearly are big figures not here for example the french president emanuel macro because of the problems back home trees i'm a because of bricks it she was never going to come here because that deadline is getting so close but the big difference the man who when every turns up at a global tap the gathering tends to dominate it is donald trump and it was all about donald trump one year ago and at the time he was riding pretty high all the economic news from the us was good news he was almost on a victory lap when he was here in davos a year ago when i watched him in the hall behind me very different now. one year ago when president trump arrived in davos the business world was already aware

of the unpredictable nature of the u.s. is most unusual more than president most of the well read intellectually focused and strategically minded business leaders who attend this annual gathering could not be more different from donald trump a man who once ran casinos and arguably sometimes ran his empire as if he was in a casino yet when he came here he walked around the halls on a victory lap he was proud of a strong economy united states is doing fantastically well and he stated here as he did many times elsewhere that he was most happy to be judged by one metric the stock market is smashing one record after another and has added more than seven trillion dollars in new wealth since my election it didn't stay that way

increased volatility at the end of the year meant two thousand and eighteen ended up the worst year on the us stock market for a decade so would trump receive a similar reception if he was coming to dabble this year i asked a leading economist. you know it's quite different from last year he had just passed the big tax cut and they were about to increase spending for the economy in the short run was very positive and so there was a sort of a legitimate optimism about the u.s. economy a year ago what's become clear is that there was a short term boost not a long term boost and i think one has to look at the way financial markets have behaved over the last several months or at least creating circumstances where a recession is probably more likely. than it would have been otherwise. so that is the worry that a recession going forward the worry is about china it's a worry about growth that's not increasing in china the worry about

a downturn in china a worry about a trade war between the u.s. and china that ongoing shutdown in the u.s. if that continues that could be a problem for the u.s. economy the nightmare scenario of course for president trump is the shutdown happens at about a story that downturn even a recession happens in about a year's time of course the key year an election year in the united states that would be a nightmare for a u.s. president who's not here none of his delegation are here they all decided to give double the u.s. view there will be represented secretary of state who was going to come here is instead going to address delegates by video link that coming in a few hours time daryn all right james bays there in dallas james thank you. tom first a break here and i just want to come back blowing off steam we're in china where young people are finding ways to cope with the lack of job prospects the taliban attack in afghanistan raises questions of the talks with the united states more on
