sure himself the issue is that they want to see a new person to take charge of the government and try to get the country out of crisis so while he has struck the conflicts retune and seems to be reaching out to nearly everyone every armed group every opposition party the youth included as he said do not fall under of under any political banner he seems to believe that he should be continuing and he should try to make reforms now people are saying that they don't want him to make reforms they want a new president to make reforms but not clear how the people in the street to have been demonstrating for weeks now will think that we are already seeing protests today in sudan as we're speaking as he was speaking people have been demonstrating saying that this is not not what they came out for this is not what they were hoping to achieve when they were out protesting and losing their lives as they were met with teargas and live ammunition by police and security forces no and there will be concerns i suppose about whether those protests will be able to continue because presumably declaring by declaring

a state of emergency that gives the government special powers we heard a share emphasizing the role of the minute change all of this and how they are that to safeguard the security of the country so presumably the declaration of the state of emergency might really raise fares about the perhaps even more heavy handed tactics being used against the protesters. well yes ask first and constitution the state of emergency get the police and the secret of course and the military the right to raid and house the right to arrest anybody who this they deem will be a threat to the country's national security it's a contradiction nomic development to the country's political stability so for people to come out and protest now after his occlusion of the emergency it will make the situation a little bit more sense for them it will make it very hard for them to come out and protest and voice their demands again he said i understood why they were protesting he understood they cannot make hard choices that they were facing when they came

out and demanded that he step down but with a state of emergency in place which implies that security forces do have the right to search without warrant to raid houses to basically target whoever they feel like is a threat to the country would make it very hard for them to continue and protest because let's remember he also said that people who have been protesting have been infiltrated by by other by agents with foreign agendas by people who are trying to destabilize the country he's always said that people who have been protesting some of them are traitors and trying to destabilize the country and change the regime that's something that already said they said that they want the new government but with him think that the people who are protesting are infiltrated and with a state of emergency in place it's likely that more force will be used against those who have been demonstrating for the past mine leaks and we have seen protests in the country in the past have the we have seen president tomorrow bashir survive the protests but what was different perhaps about these demonstrations what was

interesting is that we did see discontent spring up in parts of the country that have been traditionally loyal we had a particular emphasis from bashir on the youth and the country can you explain to us who has been out on the streets protesting the makeup of these demonstrations. well the make up comes from nearly all there is often society we have people from rural bullett religious from some rural villages coming out to protest people in urban parts of sadam whom the capital coming out to protest because again they say it's not just the economy it's the fact that the country they believe does not have enough freedom a clinical base again president bashir did address that he said that under his tenure as president he widen the freedom and political space more parties participating recognizing other parties giving people more leeway or room to be able to voice their opposition or or frustrations but people are saying that that is not true when they're protesting so we've seen people from different ages different

a working class different parts of the country coming out and saying that they believe that the with the country has been government of government over the past fifty years is not the way they want to go the composition is really with him nationwide it basically represents all parts of them whether it's the richer the poor whether it's the old or the young yes the youth that come out to protest in large numbers they say that because all they have known is sudan under president bashir and they would like to know how it would be when he's not around thank you very much for now have a morgan speaking to us from the sudanese capital hard tim thank you very much but we can now speak to michael a mother who is a political analyst and visiting fellow at the london school of economics he joins me now via skype thanks very much for speaking to us and so the rhetoric that we were hearing from president bashir that was seen in a very positive view speaking about constructive dialogue and healing political differences in the country but really the message at the heart of all this was an assertion of his or farsi he is defiant in the face of these protests he is

refusing to stand down. that's exactly right i mean he's very very scared about the situation he he basically thinks that another arab spring movement is going to take him out of power and what exactly what he's trying to do really is to impose a state of emergency under which he would then be able to call to all of all parties and sections of society and control every one of the state of emergency and also restructure his government you know wave that will basically the symbolize any coherent. networks that are actually trying to destabilize his government has the situ has the situation for him gone beyond the point where it can be salvaged because he says he's speaking to the opposition he's saying that he's willing to address the economic grievances in the concerns of the people who are out there protesting so it is that mean is it will that go some way to

pacifying those that have been demonstrating against him this is a very popular question because at the moment are demonstrating this have basically said we don't want to hear any excuses you want to hear anything from the presidency we just want our shit to be sorry so asked whether they will actually listen or buy into this latest speech we don't know what we know actually is that he's going to try to deceive the media is he try and suppress everyone in court everyone to all of that but then exactly how they respond to this speech and exactly without do you actually listen. to his next moves about this didn't make sense if we don't know but that's a great point question are the moments. it's very interesting that alongside the state of emergency bashir is said that he was dissolved thing the central government and provincial governments he says that you know this is all part of

tackling the concerns of the people how worried might he be about internal opposition against him particularly within the ranks of the ruling party difficult question to answer but how much discontent might there be that i mean he's very very wary of before him to go to the extent of at that moment restructuring everything and reshuffling everything just goes to show that he stuck with our way of the opposition that's been gradually building up within his own ranks to the extent backs it's only the truth another move big basically in unity ask him to step down and really that's what he's really trying to assess by basically just silliness front end where the ticket in the whole governmental structure are with him to basically trying to destabilize the coherent position that built up within his own ransome party and it's

a very very tense situation because if if the party or his government decides that looking we're still not going to botch then we don't quite know exactly how he's getting money from within even the state of emergency to call them to or they are. we have seen these protests in several cities in sudan not just in the capital we have also seen protests bring up in areas that have traditionally been been loyal to the president does it look as though in the face of this state of emergency that we might see these protests dissipate or could it go in a completely different direction could we in fact seen more violence. it depends on how well. he's his people are actually going to be on hearings to his instructions. he he's going to issue structure they expect you know people to fill

all of this and i think is really going to depend on whether the military of or actually the establishment the forces that be are actually willing to carry out his orders and to what extent they are able to do it effectively if they are only able to be seen to be fully in all of this and bringing order to only a few places leaving out the rest of the country or actually only in sections and then places after the booty carrying demonstrations. then he was still half a lot of trouble in his hands and i think about state even the happens he will be in serious trouble. we've seen the share of the come many different challenges not just from within the country but internationally through the years he is definitely a survivor and he's managed to stay in power for some three decades what is your gut feeling on this does it look as though he will be able to ride out this latest wave of unrest. it is likely that he might be able to

write it assets. but there's also there's also a possibility that you alone rob well i think it just depends on how effectively. the people under him i who to carry out his orders against the move on the ground and actually where are the mass protests will crumble under the new or this i mean when will they get to this state as a captain for example in broken officer when ordinary citizens just marched on mass to the parliament building set it on fire and basically the president had to flee to mexico if well it gets to that state and the populace the citizens are not prepared to listen to anything and did they just run riots then even the most effective. military machine can't really bring on down to the hosts stage so it is your message to see whether that happens in the next few days or

thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and analysis with us on this story michael i love you joining us there from the london school of economics thank you. now in all the stories we've been covering the u.n. secretary general has appealed for violence to be avoided in venezuela this after at least two people were killed in clashes with security forces near the border with brazil several others suffered gunshot wounds close to the town of santa ana day or in all of them are reported to be indigenous venezuelans some of whom live expressed support for the opposition's plans to bring in foreign aid on thursday president to do announced he was closing venezuela's vast border with brazil when it came as venezuela's power struggle turned into a battle of the bands with rival concerts the latest stage a showdown between president nicolas maduro in the opposition leader. on the one

end of a bridge leading to the colombian border city of quickly but billionaire richard branson sponsoring a concert with more than a dozen musicians on the other side would do as government is about to hold a three day festival cold hands off venezuela or the branson back concert is currently underway joining thousands in the crowd many of them on venezuelans who have crossed the border some have told al-jazeera they plan to sleep in of a night out sandra he has more now from the colombian border city. there's a lot of excitement here for this concert something that a city like never seen before and thousands of venice where lines have crossed into colombia to participate in this concert but this is much intertainment the as it is political we've spoke to half a dozen groups of young people who told us they are planning to sleep on the

colombian side to participate to early on saturday in an operation to try and move the aid that the medical and food supplies that have been sent mostly by the u.s. and are stored here try to move all that inside and what it's shaping up to be as the biggest showdown so far between the position and the government with president nicolas maduro remaining steadfast in this season and his decision of not letting that. the president is also here we're also expecting the arrival of the president of chile the president and the other two planes filled with arriving from the u.s. and chile so more pressure put on my doodle but for the time being the concert continues and people are very excited to be able to listen to some of their favorite artists. is on the line as well inside of the border waiting for president tours concert again. i am one of the news leyland side of the binational bridge

that joins the national a lot here from columbia behind me at where in cuckoo time there is a massive concert underway but the one that was called here by president reagan asked him a little hasn't even started yet it is in the it is a late afternoon already people have been waiting for hours under the burning sun many of them were brought here by bus from from the public sector from different government ministries we've seen people signing attendance lists and one teacher in fact came up to us to say we were in force to come here for a bond or an or a box of full not everybody is thrilled to be here others are big supporters of president you can ask my little who have been saying over and over again that it's the world wants to help in israel or what they should do is to look at the economic sanctions against this country they insist the venezuela has plenty of money and at the problem is that the united states doesn't allow them to buy food and medicine which isn't exactly true but there are very very crippling economic sanctions that

were placed on the venezuelan economy and the government just a little more than a month ago we are hoping that this concert will get underway and we understand that the president of the socialist party we also have a you know will come here and speak to the crowd. well news from syria now where kurdish forces are evacuating hundreds of civilians from myself last pockets of territory to as strikes by the u.s. led coalition hundreds of people have already been rescued from the eastern village of but u.s. backed syrian democratic forces say around seven thousand still trapped in the small percentage tank life. it's feared many civilians there are being used as human shields which has slowed the advance but the s.d.f. says that it is hoping to carry out a full evacuation on friday before launching their final push to defeat myself and long con is monitoring developments for us from istanbul. friday began with a very confident statement from the spokesman of the s.d.f. most of a body he said that he was hopeful that all of the civilians would manage to be

trucked out of the village at the end of the day and they only managed to get one thousand of those civilians out and we don't we're not sure whether there were any eisel fighters who had surrendered within that number now it's a very big problem for the s.d.f. they're not going to go into the village itself and complete the final battle until all of those civilians have been evacuated and the numbers have varied wildly throughout the last two weeks and they certainly we had the least six thousand civilians in the village but over the last two weeks they've actually managed to take out six thousand civilians and now the s.d.f. is saying there may well be three thousand more villages still on the outskirts of that village actually the village is completely destroyed and these people are living in tents just outside of the village and we're also hearing that the fight is going to be incredibly tough for the s.t.'s because. a been prepared for this battle for very long time and they've dug tunnels underneath the village where the

last few hundred estimated are still fighters hiding out and they're waiting for the s.d.f. to come in now it's in interest to keep the civilians there for as long as possible they are in effect using them as human shields and that's something that really concerns both the syrian democratic forces. and the united nations so it's a it's a wait and see game right now this operation was supposed to come to an end within a few days it's taken nearly two weeks and they're only fighting over a square kilometer of territory nothing that i saw in two thousand and fourteen my advice to take a huge swathes area a nearly a third of iraqi territory down to just one square kilometer that's quick loads of is proving very tough israeli forces have shot dead a palestinian teenager at protests on the gaza border fifteen year old was shot during a weekly march of return demonstration at least forty others were injured israeli forces have killed more than two hundred fifty palestinians at the protests in the

last year meanwhile palestinian protesters have clashed with israeli troops at a demonstration marking the twenty fifth anniversary of the brahimi mosque massacre in hebron twenty nine palestinian washed up as was shot dead by a far right and there can israeli settler in one thousand nine hundred four at brown's main street was closed to palestinians by the israeli army soon after the massacre palestinians of call for shahada street to be reopened saying its closure is disruptive and helps to cement israeli control of the area all areas more on everything we're covering this is the address al jazeera dot com for the latest on our top stories. the headlines now we begin in sudan president bashir has declared a one year state of emergency across the country this declaration follows months of anti-government protests calling for his resignation i should also announce that he will dissolve the federal government and delay constitutional amendments that would

allow him to run for another term. well. very many of them. are to clear the following to impose a story to remove people one to dissolve the national unity government to dissolve the provincial government and we will continue to take measures to implement what i have resolved ok country requires us to stand together demands of to remain united patient and tolerant i'm thirteen and we will be an example to follow in. at least two venezuelans have been killed in clashes with security forces near the border with brazil several others in the town of san diego and have suffered gunshot wounds or of them are reported to be indigenous venezuelans some of whom have expressed support for the opposition's plans to bring in foreign aid despite the furious objections of president nicolas maduro meanwhile rival concerts are being held in the latest stage of a showdown between president during the opposition leader one. on one end of a leading to the colombian border city of cook

minutes time off the people of power which starts now. four hundred. four. of the time it was the worst environmental catastrophe in brazil history in lake twenty fifteen the foot down mining town near diskette a state first killing nineteen people and causing widespread devastation in the off

tomorrow he said to me on the roof of the school was quite the dam had failed and if it could happen again and last month tragically it seemed so now we're showing her investigation again to save you true mind the book can go wrong and one morning something. uh. this church is filled with survivors of one of the world's largest and least known mining disasters in november twenty fifth dean the community of bend to the drinkers was one of several washed away by a tsunami of mud unleashed by

a collapsing mining dam. nineteen people died and six thousand were displaced. eight months after the disaster we have come to meet the survivors and prosecutors who have been leading the fight for compensation. she says. he's seen. this zorn's more. of all that will go in the law outside the people of bend a good readers are getting ready to another say and gave the community its name we meet mary another salgado who tells us everything has changed after her journey or home delivery and i are detail on a proper hello back with us and we could pass warning. for now this community in the state of minister is the latest affected by brazil's

dangerous mines an industry in dire need of reform the question is whether their fate will give rise to the much needed changes. the following day we have arranged to meet marian over again together with her daughter and her son in law is taking us to bend to rodrigo's to show us what's left of their former home stuff and proud to talk to us about other people. who would reduce is now closed off and a police escort had to take us in from ari melber this is a rare opportunity for a visit to get a balance in the children after engine or a good job while the kids are just in time a top notch started q it is also the first time really any has returned. the most. is that i'm. going away goal.

this one dow down collapsed around four in the afternoon when mary melbourne really i mean we're waiting at the bus stop one by a neighbor they ran back to my novice house i did i. not to go get they don't want to back up get. marry now they're managed to alert a mother and her son just in time. less than twenty minutes after the dam broke her house was covered in mud. was going to be the people. of all yours and. millions because i mean. look at. fifty

million cubic metres of muddy waste water produced by one of some markers iron mines had been unleashed within days several police investigations were launched eventually concluding. the company had been using mining waste to build a dam instead of rock and gravel. experts went on record to say that some arco had also failed to drain the dam as required. of the next two weeks the tsunami of much travelled six hundred fifty kilometers down the river d'arcy flooding into more communities and killing fish and wildlife in its wake before the atlantic ocean. police reports detail how some arco executives had commission changes to the dam against the advice of the engineer who built it and even ignored his warnings when he spotted cracks during an expected. the final recommendation was to charge the company executives with homicide a decision that some market considers mistaken. yeah look they all played some

market that. some of bantu people say they weren't surprised they had long been worried about some marco's failure to install a warning system or put in place an evacuation plan without these authorities should have never issued a license for the. early on in clayton have decided to visit their old home further up the hill with them up didn't reach. to come. inside the house they find a different sort of destruction. over after they fled their place was looted. more so from the mountains. how do you feel that you've come back more. vision. came out of the. beach.

today most survivors have been relocated to the nearby tourist town of marianna we have come to the offices of the local prosecutor who is negotiating their claims for compensation eleven diminishing as a result each survivor is now receiving a monthly minimum wage a family payout of eight thousand u.s. dollars per last time and free rented accommodation there is that would let me have it in today's meeting human rights prosecutor the laramie disseminate again is collecting evidence about looting from the victim's representatives seem a. lot of you know little bit was going to be about. this all for like the respect you have this year so if this is about these matters not really sure you're part of the negotiations with the market how's that going what's the biggest obstacle.

is going to be as a condition of the as a board member service was great but it was a it was a change but. since the disaster prosecutors have made sure that some marco's operations have remained close much to the chagrin of the company's many employees and contractors who have lost their jobs i said you were sergio of anger the director of the metal bars the trade union is meeting us at the local unemployment office he is currently negotiating one thousand six hundred voluntary redundancies on behalf of some marco employees sergio is looking for faces that he recognizes. that there are mikko this. do you think the dow down the mind should hope again to the royals over there our view as you did you. what girl street is not fair with joe aero vo it was not the videos

used. the next day mary now is attending a protest in the state capital below horizontal. victims and activists are putting pressure on the state's lawmakers to introduce legislation to make mining safe port hedland modular the kiddie. gave us this. prosecutors have written new laws and i'll bow to submit them to the state assembly with a popular backing of over fifty six thousand signatures legislators will at the very least be forced to debate these new rules activists sound a siren to remind everyone that lives could have been saved had there been a warning system when the fund our down collapse. inside the whole proceedings are starting and mary melber is asked to join the dignitaries thing that is really moving thing merely because you. have there here is the i am going here to do a genie thing and she who are mounted on this state environmental prosecutor collars

eduardo fevrier pinto makes the case for. my sis in the bar. i was in a storm. was hard. for you or you. the prosecutor wants to make it outright illegal to use the cheap and fast construction method that some markel used to build a fund out. he also wants to stop dams from being built within five kilometers of existing communities. and just maybe the mining companies are starting to feel the pressure so marco has

unexpectedly agreed to an interview at its headquarters the german no complex everything was going that was ordered to deal with jersey louise santiago is overseeing some markets negotiations with survivors we can speak to him on condition that i don't ask about the actual collapse of the dow or the ongoing investigation of senior executives according to some are could the real causes of the disaster remain unconfirmed and the company has commissioned its own investigation. denies that some marker is using the anger of the workers to force the authorities to reopen the mine there is a public perception that the company and the directors of the company lied about the collapse of the dam what are you going to do to build trust with people we believe we regret and some of mistrust by demonstrate that we were able to recover and the environment in special. ways off a lot of people automatically assume it is it possible to compensate people who've

lost lives land and who've also suffered through huge trauma how can that be compensated for. i mean we're never going to compensate a loss well you know so we're really sorry for that and i understand that. but as far as. sort of our land and all the sayings here that are we walking towards some sort of recovery some sort of company. we want to repair as much as rick and where we cannot repair them we talk about compass search and that's the principle we apply. the fact is before the collapse of some mark who was regarded as an industry leader in the field of corporate responsibility. according to official data from twenty fourteen one third of the state's four hundred fifty dams were classified as high risk and we want to find out just how this can be allowed to happen. we just approaching a place called the debris two and that's where dam collapsed and twenty fourteen

now the reason why this is significant is because that was a dam for which the paperwork had made it stating that it was fully safe just like the from dallas. we're heading for two dams operated by brazil's largest mining company valley the kohen of some of. the first one is my o.b.'s one a dam classified as highly unstable in twenty eleven and twenty fourteen due to structural problems. but our destination is my vs two being met by cloud you know how poor. the dems location right next to housing development cost the authorities to flag it up for its potential to cause high damage we are facing nearly seventy million cubic meters of mud. of stones and to fill the. so according to your calculations if this dam was to break now what would happen

specific america. but if. we follow cloud you into the market neighborhood where he lives he used to be a geologist for brazil's nuclear energy authority but his retirement is dominated by his fight against mining companies what if the mining companies say to you well the dams were there and then you came in build your houses so if it is not safe you should have moved to a different place. or just. given the danger in the event of a dam break prosecutors have instructed valley to buy these residence houses all in . moscow wanted by forcing course to readdress. for safety now but will this year we're safe to. assume ma'am my goodness dude you

got. all. the phone bill then cloudier tells me that valley is currently trying to obtain a license plate of the third. he says that in order to get this license the company is under playing the potential damage in case of an accident or illness he has made a video that illustrates what could happen if there was a dam break plowed you says valley bases the estimate of the damage on a dam that is only a quarter full his own estimate is much higher based on data from past dam breaks get results by higher ups some of us a lot of my more and much worse than that much so he is outraged that five months after fidel collapsed that he actually increased the astri's proposed capacity by twenty million cubic meters or eight thousand olympic swimming pools there to drop from dome they're very revoke are mostly worn beyond those

evolves and we are both going to resume or he would have problems or if one for use in june this year the preliminary license for my vs three was approved. brazil seems to be lacking the right laws to make mining safer and it is back at the state assembly in belo horizonte that the political debate around the licensing of dams is taking place within days of the collapse of a commission was appointed to write a report and to propose new laws. i have come to attend the final session. last night i had a look at the members of the extraordinary commission of dams and what's quite striking is that half of them have been accused of being involved all for receiving substantial mining company donations so i've made a little brief here with pictures so that i recognise them today so this man here

is draw my lawyers he's particularly interesting because he's currently on trial for dozens of corruption charges he's accused of being involved in selling an illegal mining concessions in a case that involved a staggering bribe of half a million us dollars and then here the deputy gustavo corera has received over seventy thousand u.s. dollars in campaign donations from mining companies mining companies to native nearly ten million u.s. dollars during brazil's twenty fourteen general elections this prompted such concern about the influence of brazil's largest companies that a year later the supreme court ruled future complain donations illegal in the assembly will victims of mining disasters and activists prepare to keep up the popular pressure. but we hear the drama the lawyers the lawmaker facing a string of corruption charges is needed by a local journalist makes an introduction and to really honor this all the new

yorkers are going to the home minister who are most. of the outdoors here the number one show how loud were going to allow tautologically spectrum the speak to here later was that you know you're. not really sure why you. saying that he hasn't seen the record i've actually got a copy and he's listed as one of the co-authors. back in the assembly hall commission members are arriving and the session has opened the military here but what was it really feels like about this immediacy gustava kohei it starts with a passionate intervention on behalf of some marco to the when i was born. in. the us i'm here. or henri is. or he's. always been a. good boy some people in the audience disagree.

not over. who i see his. wife is very sick. and there are also some supporters i just was not with. yancey he got his games even still this life. was. like. then. the reports maine also presents the proposed new law was in line with the people's petition the first snow proposes to ban the construction of dams like from bell and wants to block new dams from being built near existing settlements. in addition it suggests increasing the mining tax to improve the authorities oversight. if you're more wall to. wall

of work or war or. if the book is better for. the panel agrees for all laws to go forward but this is only the very first step now of the proposed last phase a journey of fact finding debate and approval by formal commissions before being put to a vote in the assembly. it is here that previous attempts to reform the mining sector failed when politicians stall to voting process so the question is whether the norm makers hearts really are in the new legislation and we look for draw against nate your own trial lawyer over the focus of whether you're on trial for dozens and dozens of corruption charges why should the brazilian people trust you to act in the interest of us today please why should you be trusted to. do that. and. say.

you're not going to tell us. off. but here does agree to an interview my most pressing question is whether the seventy thousand us dollars that he has received income pain donations from mining companies could influence his views he has a look at this world book so much that this will be discussed as well but he was your b.g. god because it was used against god i suppose it was if you got this mess halls where it was on so you can fake categorically that with all this money that you've received from mining companies then no expectation was tied to that donation or you were going to go out she was. going to fix your. system we were going to ask you is what will you guys do you these are serious should matter this. was the debate about new mining laws takes its course in the state capital money

now there and the people of bento have been deciding on a site for their new settlement is that if i understand fully the famine of the russia seeing. more things that the. prosecutor get laramie disseminate back their struggle to find a place as similar as possible to the old. location. i did get there comment that didn't get walter a lot as a so by huge money on and all of ever since the fall and you know when i saw. our government invest i had was three or three major view that you're seeing this for the first time do you like it. that the business. not the aside. to them now the onus is on legislators to vote for laws to make brazil's mine safer. prosecutors like you lammy have vowed to keep them in check it's important to the people keep protesting.

it's. most that i'm using to talk with this in a cafe have to. fill in means which question i said listen you know. i discuss better salary making money. became advocates. who don't want to start and not an honest thought. because. we asked assembly member dollars for a further response to issues highlighted by this program he didn't reply we also asked to address concerns raised about his marriage really has terms it told us the necessary adjustments have been made and today the stability of them are obvious

one is guaranteed. is characterized as potentially associated with high damage to lower the potential damage to people downstream of the valley works with the safety management system and ripostes emergency plan in response to the suggestion that given the potential risks violation of prevented new communities from being built near them are appealing to the company said the area at risk is not an exclusion zone and therefore it is not necessary to remove communities so long as the risk curity mechanisms in place for permanent control and to provide warnings in situations of risk the company also said it is not underestimated the risk arising from a possible breach of the merrifield is two or three dams and that the proposed capacity of its merivale is three has never been increased. and generally the twenty fifth twenty. nineteen. in the same state.

at least one hundred sixty six people were killed almost two hundred still missing . is it being constructed in the same way as the for. the fifteen. employees of brazilian company as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.

amendments that would allow him to run for another presidential term in two thousand and twenty now the move follows months of demonstrations across the country which were initially triggered by price rises but then quickly developed into protests against the shias rule. well. very many already that. are to clear the following to impose a state of emergency people going to dissolve the national unity government to dissolve the provincial government and we will continue to take measures to implement what i have from solved o'con tree requires us to stand together it demands of to remain united patient and tolerant i am certain we will be an example to follow in. well michael a mo is a political analyst and visiting fellow at the london school of economics he joins me now via skype thanks very much for speaking to us we know that the we heard from president amal bashir when he was speaking he acknowledges the economic hardship in

the country but he didn't speak about the protesters demands for him to stand down clearly that is not going to happen is it your sense that demonstrations in the country are likely to continue in defiance of the state of emergency or yes i think that the demonstrations are likely to continue to finance or mysteriously for two reasons the economic situation is not going to improve and the demonstrations are basically based on economic hardships so it's not just for him to say calm down it's how when he. becomes we should have the. demonstrations likely to continue regardless of the state of emergency what then does that mean for the military's response already dozens of people have been killed in protests the security forces have been accused of using deadly heavy handed tactics against the

will the military carry out his orders. well that's very doubtful if they are tempted to carry out your this it will be difficult for the security forces to be able to carry through the oh this is to muslim defectively across the whole country so that's going to be and they want to watch but even then when we have mass protests and protest is willing to go all the way it's really going to be very difficult for the security forces to be are actually be able to stop the demonstrations so far you know rock you cannot be endgame here for america she i mean a whole year of a state of emergency is just not going to calm down anybody when the economic situation begins to make things happen and it is quite likely that he's only buying time to also pluck is o.s.u. probably be thinking of where he goes next mike's sort of host tomorrow again

because at the moment he has actually even put a stop to pick the constitutional amendments that are ninety run for twenty twenty elections it may well be that he's not going to have a new head of parliament talk to put something people in place who will be able to carry through those amendments or maybe he thinks that he's going to be difficult to do to you that are who have to worse than h.r. and the nature of the opponent is like you mix in the next couple of days to be able to make some judgment part of that it's or if those appointments are actually made to a you say it's the end game for him but perhaps these decisions put him in sole charge of the country said he's disbanding the government under the pretext of wanting to create a new government to tackle the country's economic problems but does it also allow him to consolidate his control and squash any political opposition if this is just allows him to stoop to appear to be contro however.

whether these need appointments with their mother nature or whether it's going to look like well actually even be better than the situation prior to that we don't in there and i still talk like that we also don't know whether this huge the forces will also see in our minds so it's a very it's going to be a state of flux. and what will this mission will be and even if things are able to sort of symbolizing currents for the next short period oh yeah of a state of emergency it's quite enough period for the opposition and i mean the right of citizens to be able to actually do what they really want to do to make sure the needs no longer head of states. you said that one area to watch is the military and

whether they follow the orders carry out the orders that given to them and the powers that are getting given to them under the state of emergency what about the ruling party how much discontent is that within the ruling party i think there is an amount of discontent in the really party and that also has actually caused him to want to bring about this reshuffle but the bigger thing is that everyone else is also watching themselves and people in the ruling party even those who want him to actually move on men in the city come out to say saying so there will be you know action on the guns behind the scenes while as well as a player got again asked to see what happens next to this definitely this contained within the really part of the even if he appears to be seated what to call them to all of that. and that is just the state of flux of the current political situation. we know that these protests that have now

developed into a broader challenge against bashir were initially triggered by economic grievances in the country price rises cash or t.j. is do you anticipate that these economic problems are likely to get worse indeed the years the economic situation is going to go away us because normally. countries are actually going to be working to spark pressure on the state and friend direct investment is not going to be coming bus to flee and he still bases us through a maze on the lists of sanction states by the us i stick by the sponsors of terror and even the least i learn in school is economically so are actually difficult to survive which actually means that the construction is going to go away as anything about heights of crisis will go away yes and that also means that the protests tests are going to be angry and even more

desperate and the now are actually calling for russia to move on but there's going to be that mantra for the foreseeable future michael a mo from the london school of economics thank you very much and to have me. to our other top story this hour the u.n. secretary general is appealed for violence to be avoided in venezuela this on to the security forces opened fire on members of an indigenous community near the border with brazil killing at least two people several others suffered gunshot wounds close to the town of sun the day or in community to say the violence broke out after the indigenous venezuelan stopped a military convoy heading towards the border which they believe was trying to block aid from entering what that border has been closed by venezuelan troops and there are reports ambulances carrying those wounded in the violence were prevented from going across the border for help the crossing was closed following orders from president maduro to prevent aid getting into the country the opposition has said it

will go ahead with its plans to ship aid across the colombian border on saturday. the closure of the brazilian border has angered people trying to get into venezuela the accusing the duo of ordering a heavy handed to crack down. hard on the little bit of money and we want them to open the border so that humanitarian aid can enter there killing people. is to kill people look at them the order that the president the dictator gave used to kill people. all this came as venezuela's power struggle turned into a battle of the bands with rival concerts the latest stage of a showdown between the president nicolas maduro and opposition leader why does the events are taking place just a few hundred meters apart on one end of a bridge leading to the colombian border city of cook atar british billionaire richard branson is sponsoring a concert with more than a dozen musicians while on the other side but tours government is holding a three day festival called hands off venezuela the branson back concert is currently underway featuring major latin pop stars and drawing crowds in their

thousands many of them all venezuelans who crossed the border some have told al-jazeera they plan to sleep in cooktown overnight a latin america editor lucien human is on the venezuelan side of the border with colombia and joins us now and actually want to stop asking you about the clashes which took place on venezuela's border with brazil there were two casualties and many others injured and you hearing any more about what's taken place there. yes hello marion we know that as you just said that there were clashes between the national guard and members of the c'mon tribe this is an autonomous group they have a constitutional authority to be the ones in charge of their region and that's why they have what is called an indigenous guard that takes the place of the police or the national guard or anything else so theoretically they are supposed to be the authority there and when they didn't want to allow the national guard to block the

entrance between venezuela and brazil that's when the shooting began we have now heard that five of the injured did manage to get to a road i now on the brazilian side of the border to a hospital because the health care center on their side of the venezuelan side simply did not provide the necessary means to treat their wounds very serious wounds we're told at least seventeen people were injured according to the latest tally and we're also hearing that up to twenty members of the national guard were detained by the indigenous guard and we understand they still are under some sort of a detention there including the general or the colonel i'm not quite sure of the rank that hasn't been confirmed who was in charge of the entire national guard along the border so this is still very much a developing story.
