that they were part of a guy they kidnapped foreigners. a group of four men were traveling in a small minivan according to their wives to do a construction job on an apartment. out this vehicle approached a police checkpoint the police opened fire and killed everybody inside. later that afternoon the police officers went to the homes of these people and lo and behold what they find but time jewelry jennie's personal effects. but just twenty four hours later the interior ministry was forced to admit that those men had nothing to do with regime is murder. a level of the north to investigate they have all due for somebody to contact they. think what could happen at the other foot. it clean it up demand that kick up at a sauna

authorities continue to deny any responsibility for his death. so there are a janney case came at a particularly sensitive moment for elations between egypt and italy because at that very moment the italian energy company annie was in the process of developing the largest gas field in the eastern mediterranean called zohar in conjunction with egypt. went on its own is something game changing very neat thing when she took the diminutive that was a school bag. for geology given that if i started i would want to be plays in portugal the energy i want to play is if you know many people should this friday you probably don't need a messy dinner just one provision in the saugus field is also a major source of profit for any worth an estimated six point four billion dollars

its goal. after more than thirteen months behind bars you straightly and peter greste was deported and his two colleagues received pardons from president abdel fattah el-sisi. after for. too much time alone in the prison it's like a dream come true. i'm very proud of every single moment i spent in prison for the sake of freedom of expression i'm really really proud. i'm goes back. i would use an experience.

a school against their will there was no mother no father figures they put us in the big player and we sort of look dirtier so i don't remember the children's names but i'll never forget that canada's dark secret on al-jazeera. hello martinelli's in doha with the top stories here it is there are hundreds of people are outside of sudan's army headquarters demanding immediate civilian rule military leaders of our political parties to recommend an independent candidate for prime minister but protests is fear the army's making attempts to break the demonstration have been more than has more. we've spoken to activists and

protesters in front of the army headquarters and they're saying that they are concerned that the military will try to use force to disperse them the military this morning try to remove some barricades that have been placed by protesters ten days ago when the sit out in front of the army headquarters started of course for the protesters that this barricade is very significant under third and fourth day of the sit in security forces are loyal to the former regime of president bashir tried to break the sit in and try to breach the barricades and to try to disperse the protesters until the army responded by firing back at the security forces so for the people in front of the army headquarters these barricades represent a barrier from them and any force that would try to disperse them in libya and number of fighters loyal to the warlord khalifa haftar of reportedly handed in their weapons and army vehicles to forces of the u.s. backed government in tripoli the two sides have been fighting for control of the capital since earlier this month protests as there are demanding that libya withdraws its ambassadors from egypt the u.a.e.

saudi arabia and france there are accusing those countries of supporting forces loyal to have to. twenty five senior international figures and signed an open letter urging european nations to reject any u.s. middle east peace plan that unfair to palestinians this comes as the u.s. prepares to announce its a good deal of the century. israel's president is meeting several political parties to decide on who will form the new government prime minister benjamin netanyahu. six of the one hundred twenty seats in israel's palm and putting him in a position to form a coalition. new zealand is appealing for the whereabouts of kidnapped along with two drivers in syria nearly six years ago. for the red cross delivering aid to. ok you're up to date headlines from us here at al-jazeera i'll be back in thirty

minutes or so but in the meantime. encourage. the to. the are we. up. or were. up. to her we. are one.

thank you. in twenty eleven nobody could anticipate that in just two years egypt would once again be under military dictatorship. an american egyptian citizen mohamed saltire got on a plane to cairo and quickly found himself at the front lines of the rebel. thousands of people gathered outside the presidential palace.

i was crying my eyes out i thought for sure they were going to fire the thing we were going to die i'll say my life prayers later and in the fame moment. the army turns on the speakers of the announcement. a former air force commander hosni mubarak had been the face of egypt's military dictatorship since one nine hundred eighty one now he was gone but his military regime remains largely intact. when the muslim brotherhood's candidate mohamed morsi became egypt's first democratically elected president the military worked to undermine him from day one. by

concentrating power in his own hands and with the economy in freefall morsi lost the support of many egyptians. many egyptians who had supported the idea of the ouster of president mubarak suddenly turned around and said hold on this is also not what we want and suddenly you had a brand new type of conflict inside egyptian society. when hundreds of thousands of protesters poured into the streets on the first anniversary of morsi is election the egyptian military exploited the situation to remove. l.c.c. who morsi had put in charge of the army gave him forty eight hours to come up with a political solution. both morsi himself and his senior advisers did not see this coming they knew there was opposition they knew that there was this can and but

they didn't think the jepson military would actually move against them in the final analysis on the third of july twenty thirty l.c.c. had morsi arrested the new military leadership suspended the constitution and also arrested three hundred muslim brotherhood party members and officials the initial attack on morsy supporters soon expanded to include all political opposition to l.c.c. . egypt occupies a position of strategic importance for the west in the middle east it is israel's next door neighbor and controls access to the suez canal. if in a very simple bargain the united states has provided egypt with a large amount of military aid every year and in return egypt has you know kept the peace with israel has provided access to the first four american warships and has

provided america with really a very strong pillar in the middle of a very volatile region. when l.c.c. to power in twenty. thirteen relations began to crack there was a general willingness to try to work with the new regime out of the interest in preserving the bilateral relationship so they were willing to give the new military regime an opportunity to prove themselves l.c.c. soon showed the obama administration was he was capable of and the weeks after the military takeover morsi supporters had occupied two major thoroughfares in cairo they are not a square and the road in front of iraq by the we have mosque. in august the military cleared these camps with an unprecedented show of force.

mohammad sultan was there his father a deputy minister in the short lived muslim brotherhood government was amongst those addressing the protesters from the stage. here i was taking pictures come back to my phone on wait for things not a con and then tweeting taking phone calls from c.n.n. al-jazeera this and that. i mean i have time to think and if you know what though and i get hit. there is this thing smell here again. and. you can almost taste it and. that of the bodies falling anywhere you look bodies upon baden's. human rights watch documented eight hundred and seventeen victims but the number may be as high as

a thousand. united states strongly condemns the steps that have been taken by egypt's interim government and security forces. we deplore violence against civilians president obama cancelled a joint military exercise and froze part of the one point three billion dollars in military aid to egypt receives from the u.s. every year. but l.c.c. continued his crackdown undeterred. prison. this my face. i have been of this you've got to flee you've got to you've got to think shifts keeping what people has one bathroom for fifty plus not of course yours you're forced to strip naked except john know where you're been and your head shaved is totally you really. have to go on

a hunger strike because it was the only means of resistance. no hard for four hundred eighty nine days. they would bring my dad to the next ward have let me hear his screams and. come tell me listen this is what's happening here that you know we can and there's just break your strike. there's no love for these guys. is no love. in may twenty fifty with salt on still in prison the obama administration formally reported to the u.s. congress that arbitrary and unlawful killings were taking place in egypt yet at the same time the u.s. officially resumed military aid to egypt. l.c.c. remain them and to be reckoned with in cairo. your hearing concerns from the saudis from the amber roddy's from the israelis that the freeze in assistance to

egypt was counterproductive that they were pleased with that there was a desire to i think address some of their concerns. the united arab emirates and some. the arabia invested in l.c.c. from the all. in the weeks after his military takeover the u.a.e. alone transferred three billion dollars to egypt while the saudis gave a two billion dollar central bank deposit two billion dollars in energy products and one billion dollars cash without the very extensive economic support that the egyptian military got from the gulf states for example in two thousand and thirteen i don't know whether they they would have carried out the coup or they would have been able to make a go of it. saudi arabia support came with a political price. in twenty seventeen l.c.c.

agreed to give the disputed islands of tehran and sun a few which sits between saudi arabia and egypt sinai peninsula to the saudis. the decision was hugely unpopular in egypt and sparks the biggest protests since twenty thirty. but l.c.c. ruled the store and kept the flowing. egypt has at times or saved much larger sums of money from some of the newer allies particularly in the gulf but the aid from the united states is symbolically very important diplomatically very important and it's not something they want to see she was able to say that there's a threat from isis you want to defeat it we're your partner give us the tools and we'll take care of this for you and he would make the argument that egypt is too big to fail if egypt does collapse if the islamists run amok or the economy goes

down this is going to have to sastre its consequences for the region and for europe . the european union has trying to strike a balance between legitimate security concerns and respect for human rights. but many member states have adopted a business as usual policy. unfortunately we still have a very weak common ground in europe when it comes to how to deal with egypt. a dutch member of the european parliament met each a shocker initiated a resolution that condemned human rights violations in egypt however she does that leaders of the influential member states will form only. we very much pointed out that human rights repression violations. executions torture censorship closing of n.g.o.s is not acceptable and you want to hear such

strong words from let's say berlin or paris or london very much for three years shock a push to get the resolution through the european parliament besides denouncing the high number of death penalty executions and the lack of fair trials in egypt there was another point she stressed. i think we've learned some very important lessons in two thousand and eleven two thousand and twelve when we found that e.u. made systems were actually used to track down activists in egypt and so ever since we've been pushing in the european parliament and i've been leading the efforts on the export controls of surveillance systems to make sure that human rights are criteria to measure before an export license is granted and despite this statement of principle we see that in practice such export controls are not really lived up to in fact there are serious questions whether it may be the case that julio region

who was brutally murdered may have been tracked and traced with italian made systems and software. after the robber massacre and twenty thirteen e.u. member states agreed to suspend the exports to egypt of any equipment that might be used for internal repression. yet twelve out of twenty eight e.u. member states ignored the suspension. since twenty forty italy has a exported weapons to egypt worth some forty million euros. germany has made deals for over one point six billion euros including light arms and onward vehicles and france has topped all the rest with over six billion euros in sales including combat vehicles like those reportedly used in that up. massacre.

left positive in a possible down the egypt the fact little folly put me off when i see involved people what is it on religion city and the amount of it since she was old enough to see this as good multiphase don't let's all be like that are. they for same song called blue school up republics of sea don't. you can suddenly visit turkey despair just because of the despair centers on the temple of democracy a disease that mr centers and plate but. post the problem with the mccourty book preventing mattie. it exists and it affects only per year but it's a you only have even been in. the field is a fail because of a disadvantage is it or you don't then i'm in for some question except the cook and not the usual modern day listen so the many of the given him

a piece in on than those of simply not clearly. there were questions so that i mean they can produce an argument superman so you've got this was the nail of democracy yet i guess you feel all city yet i guess even on the archaeology you manolo me say if you will additional. dancing or that's all bullet i'll celeste headlee to delusion always deadly violence has been on the rise in egypt especially in the sinai peninsula the northeast corner of this remote region has become for european leaders one of the middle east's hottest front lines against all groups the c.c. government appears to be struggling to contain this threat of islamic state militants who are based in the sinai and of course now with the effect of collapse of islamic state power in iraq and syria there are indications that at least some of those fighters are now coming from those areas into the sinai but it's hard to

know what's really happening if you sign as the independent media have not been allowed into the area for years. to keep imagining the feel for. where they just. go back it up. to me that i did it and that's going this thing that's in the cia which had only been buggered up policy and here fredricka. you know to join a bit and. unconfirmed leagues from the area reveal horrific pictures of the egyptian army is brutal crackdown amid increasing concerns for the civilian population. for all the force to point to the egyptian army has yet to regain control of the area while armed attacks appear to be spreading through. to egypt in nov twenty seventh president announced the final offensive to a school. for the school.

or to start. all a ship. or a ship his method is that he is the only thing that is standing between egypt becoming another province of an islamic caliphate and stability and security and safety. in twenty sixteen an attacker deliberately drove his truck into a crowded christmas market in berlin with lethal consequences after paris and london this was yet another deadly assault inside a european capital. the german chancellor angela merkel turned to reject as a partner to improve security and counterterrorism signing a cooperation in twenty seventeen. i'm gonna speak to the fact that somebody is just man he had a contest doesn't legging him out on. the heights question and in nike and psych

turn. a protest by an egyptian medical student was drowned out by as he sees all to chanting. it is a great honor to have with us today presidential c.c.v. with donald trump's presidency l.c.c. look forward to friendly relations in washington tunes everything that you've done . and i know you appreciate everything that we've done. it's no secret that trump has an affinity for dictatorial figures he's explicitly embraced c.c. in public he's called him a strong leader as someone who's really getting stuff done. at the same time russia and egypt have grown closer bloodier putin and l.c.c.

have visited each other several times with financial deals and military cooperation on the agenda. what we're likely to see is that egypt is going to simultaneously pursue relations with both moscow and washington in order to ensure that they're not in a position of subservience to our global power while the egyptian government is looking for partners who don't ask uncomfortable questions it remains to be seen how washington's long term priorities evolve i think for president trump he's perfectly comfortable returning to the way things used to be where the u.s. was perfectly happy to trade off the mark received for security and. that working with a dictator is completely consistent with his worldview. foreign policy is by definition the pursuit of a country's interests. as l.c.c.

continues his stranglehold on power the question becomes is it really in the west's interest to continue supporting him unconditionally. on the security aspect i think it's fairly clear he hasn't delivered he hasn't defeated the isis which are the isis affiliate within the sinai most estimates place that group up between eight hundred and twelve hundred people that's not a very large entity yet over the course of five years he's been incapable of fully finishing off the square according to those who've seen egyptian prisons from the inside and repression torture prison conditions and the conflation of all dissent with terrorism may prove to be counterproductive in the long run. a missile to the brain if enough assume is a nested how would the next minute release and then with the lady scilly me elaine this moment chafing in the highway then the meek and the i guess those same prison

. in the sixties seventies and eighties. produced islamic jihad movements that gave birth to that then grandfather and isis i don't even want to begin to imagine what we're going to have. in five ten fifteen years. some in europe have become complacent they have accepted that this is the egypt will have to deal with that i think it's a mistake i think it will come back as a boomerang. there's an enormous amount of young people in egypt they don't have enough perspectives they don't have enough perspectives. for prosperous life a life they can shape the way they would like they are in the future and they should be at the heart and at the core of what the e.u. does.

thanks. hello there we're still got plenty of showers over many parts of south america at the moment some particularly heavy ones over brazil at the moment both in the northeast and stretching down towards rio once more some very heavy rains here also to the south of all of that we're seeing some bright white clouds develop now and it looks like some of us are going to see some pretty violent thunderstorms during the day today very heavy showers here and those gradually will ease as we head into

chews day not particularly warm in what is always at the moment their maximum temperature just of twenty two degrees now further north and across the central americas there's a good deal of sunshine at the moment but there are a few showers around mostly thanks to this little weather system here that's giving some of us some rather heavy rain a fish out as a not yet over the bahamas again as we had three cheese day perhaps into the northern parts of cuba but of them that the systems really fizzled out a few showers there are likely around positive jamaica but towards the west with you know actually fine dry unsettled further north and there's been some more violent outbreaks of weather here mostly from this system here that's the one that has given us all very strong winds some notch hail and a few more for made as well in the north and that's where we're seeing a lot of snow from this too and all of that will gradually pull away during monday and cheese day too. weather sponsored by qatar a. russian military advisors in africa they're not officially representing the

kremlin but working for a private security company russia claims they're helping bring peace but critics say it's a disc eyes for the expansion of russia's military influence took to al-jazeera gains exclusive access to a russian military training camp in the central african republic ultimately this is the opportunity to understand in a very different way where they're coming up and we don't leave the. bob this is al-jazeera. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news hour live from joe i'm martine dennis coming up in the next sixty minutes protests as in saddam and keep up their demands for immediate civilian rule but fear security forces may try to break up their sit

in outside army headquarters. fear and despair grips thousands of libyans displaced by the fighting close to the capital tripoli. and you investigation reveals the saudi u.a.e. coalition used french weapons to target civilians in yemen and i'm peter stammered with all your supporters tiger woods celebrates a memorable monster's win eleven years after his last major victory many are calling it sports greatest ever come back. but first protests as in sudan have been camping outside the military headquarters in carlton for two weeks now fear the security forces made. be planning to break up their city in the meanwhile more people joined in demanding little military leaders immediately hand over power to a civilian government and there's been

a major shake up in the military and the political establishment since the removal of omar al bashir fares in the military council is now asking political parties to agree on an independent figure to be prime minister and brushes party will not be allowed to join any transitional government whoa brushes close aide our even after he's been forced to step down as defense minister and a new intelligence chief has been appointed let's go live now to our correspondent in culture in the sudanese capital mohammed val mohammed are you detecting that there is a new tone a new perhaps anxiety then among the protesters army headquarters in the center of town. well that's right from day one since the removal of former president omar bashir the protesters has never have never really. felt that they

need to trust whatever the military leaders whatever decisions they take every day they have new demands and every day they gunfire nies they'll bring more protestors to their to the venue here to the city in front of the military headquarters and the one strong message they give every day is that we're not going to go home we're not going to give up we're not going to end this protest and these sit ins until we are sure one hundred percent but this time around our of aleutian is not going to be stolen by the military this has happened twice before at least in sudan when coups took place because of popular pressure on governments on corrupt governments on despotic governments and years after that months even it became clear that it is just a coup and not evolution and not a change in the situation this time around they have lent lessons from that history and they are telling their base that no no going home no ending of the protest

until they are sure that every demand they have submitted is met by the military and on top of that the creation of a civilian government to rule the country for a transitional period two years to four years until an election is held there is tremendous pressure from outside or saw from the british ambassador here met today with the deputy chief of the military council and gave some recommendations for the military council asking them to speed up the handover of power to the civilians and many other demands there are also things happening on the ground lots of things happening including immediate in minute release of political prisoners and the prisoners who have been detained during the protests of the last several months that's something that we are expecting any minute from now or so there is. presser today by the. coalition of so the next professionals or the association of sudanese professionals in one hour from now they're going to give their view about what's

going on and also the result of the discussions that have been going on between them and the military council and depending on what they say we can see are either more protests on the ground or less right mohamed so that's a full a full day's activities really what i wanted specifically to know from you is what is the status of this opposition coalition are they in gauged in daily hourly talks with the military council or what is the format now as a negotiation. yeah it's still i mean these parties are still testing each other testing the ground and the dialogue has not yet taken its full shape we have seen at least two or three sessions that took place during the last few days and today they are going to give us the first results of those talks remember that we have not only one component we have the leaders the real leaders field leaders of this protest including the freedom and change collaboration.

group and also we have the association of sudanese professionals and these claim to be the real owners of this revolution or the other had to have the parties the political parties the traditional opposition who are also jumping on the bandwagon and they want to have a share of power particularly when a civilian government is is. appointed. you know there are different views or at least for instance on how many years the transitional government should should last before an election is held so this is what the answer to your question is still in process taking shape we can no more doing the next few hours and days all right thank you mohammed mohammed vall there our correspondent reporting live from the sudanese capital khartoum well here in the studio with me is walid mehdi the he's founder and president of sudan policy forum and these are obviously quite

tricky negotiations it's a profound set of negotiations that are underway. what do you think about the way this assortment of opposition associations and parties is how they're forming themselves in order to deal with this military council. i genuinely believe that they do have a serious challenge for saw many years almost three decades they have been acting as political activist and they have come has come for them to prove that they are professional politicians because now it's about politics it's even more it's about adopting a policy oriented reform so rather than just attempting to score against the military council they need to be proactive and give somebody who concrete suggestions like for instance nominating somebody who could be an independent interim prime minister who they manage to do that can only do that they haven't yet

decided upon the criteria needless to say decided upon the paramount criterion which in my o.p in it is very clear that you have to pay tribute to the did that of half a million people who died in the genocide of that for an independent party at large should they need to have that in mind that india is the presentation of the periphery they need to send a symbolic message and say that we are paying tribute. to the dead provided and i'm sure they can always find a very competent civilian who can become prime minister yet if you look at the north an opposition maybe the centrist elites they are trying to find one from amongst themselves which since the very wrong signal to the periphery and miss and until we decide completely in extinguishing the fire in the periphery we won't be able to make any political developer right so that's one of the main things that

the assortment of opposition forces have to have to come up with is the nomination of one particular person what are the other things that need to be established because we've already we've already worked out that the institutions. not fit for purpose by knowledge in sudan today electoral reform francis i mean this is quite a written branch series of reforms that need to be undertaken before elections can even be considered again oh yes absolutely there are serious some issues about constitutional engineering there are institutional design issues that need to be need to be taken care of but what what i'm seeing now is a reluctance on the part of the military officers to establish this sort of equal relationship with the civilians the destruction it is speaking they have already succeeded in establishing this sort of hierarchy

a relationship with this is the civilians which is making everybody in discomfort and and they are doing it in a very cunning and shrewd way they're using a very soft language and we all know that they spared no effort to totally occupy the public domain normally they have already established committees to take care of the issues of social economic development law enforcement criminal justice diplomacy and all of that so what is there for disobedience so the protests as a right then that revolution has i got there very are these young men and women are very brilliant and thanks to globalization which the structure it's a very flat or going to and culture very fluid well leave not even thank you very much indeed and. right we're going to tripoli now because protests is there a demanding that libya withdraws its ambassadors in egypt the u.a.e. in saudi arabia and in france they're angry at those countries for supporting
