as seen in the situation. and they have made. a name so i. suspect that there is anybody saudi government be able to see and be able to gauge to the families and. about this incident no group has claimed responsibility but the government says it suspects a little known group national. and believes it carried out the attacks but the support of an international network it has imposed a curfew arrested at least two dozen people blocked access to social media sites and declared a state of limited emergency florence li. colombo well let's get more now from the elephant and as he joins us live from the capital colombo sri lankans awaking up to this limited state of emergency this morning talk us through what

a police curfew which was lifted about three hours ago and it is still with a sense of shock that you know this show trying to see what's happening these are two of the daily newspapers reflective of the black history. of those who lost their lives on twenty one for twenty nineteen many questions being asked as to how this happened why it happened and trying to get to the bottom of how all of this unfolded last asia when our torso a national day of mourning today and what's what's planned for today. given the sheer scale of the loss of life the government has felt the need to declare today tuesday a national day of mourning just most an hour from now the authorities have called

for marking of three minute silence to remember all those who lost their lives in this horrible incident now also hearing that a number of those there's literally going to be mass. in colombo here in colombo as well as illegal where another large segment of the population of churchgoers that sense of bastions were killed behind me this in anthony's church also the site of a huge loss of life we will see a number of been concluded today on this national day of mourning al-jazeera as mel philanderers there will be bringing us updates throughout the day from colombo thank you now for sudan's military council has warned protesters against blocking roads in khartoum signaling that it may take action to remove them they're urging

demonstrators in from outside the army headquarters for more than two weeks to take down their barricades a coalition of political parties has suspended talks with the military council for failing to transfer power to a civilian authority sudan's military leaders say they're working towards forming a civilian government as soon as possible. and the bigger the how do you know our views offered by the groups including the forces of the declaration for freedom of expression are full of patriotism and national interests this made us at the transitional military council more optimistic that an imminent political solution based on consensus is possible. had the morgan has this update for us from. the coalition of the declaration of freedom and change which includes twenty two political parties and the sudanese professional association the body that has been spearheading calls for protests in sudan for the past four months have said that the military council is not keen to hand over parts of civilian government they've

also said that they don't want the council to include anybody from the former government and from the former ruling party in the upcoming transitional government when that is formed the coalition suspended talks with the government and with that with the military council on sunday saying that unless the council says it is ready to hand over power and recognizes the fact that it's time to hand over power to civilian government then they are not going to continue talks obviously the military council as we've heard from them say that they want all political parties to be in consensus when that transitional government is being formed and not just a single coalition and meanwhile this is all happening where thousands of protesters continue to gather in front of the army headquarters despite the council saying that the barricades that the place there should be removed those barricades are still there and protesters are saying that the barricades represent their resistance to any four is that is going to try to disperse the sit in there saying that they will not move and they will not remove their barricades until an independent professional government is formed of course at the moment the political

parties and the sudanese professional association as well as the military council are yet to decide how that transitional government would look like and how it would be formed so it looks like the city in front of the army headquarters is not going to come to an end anytime soon. well the uprising has brought together different groups from across the country which are now all hoping to achieve the same goals to create a new regime and a new sudan out of there as well haven't evolved has more from the two. women have been i thought forefront of the march for change and recognition of their old female protesters now the nickname in dhaka named after her fabled movie the queen known for her courage the little guy named lady that you love for thirty years sudanese women have put up the strongest resistance against injustices and violations committed by a despotic racist and aggressive regime they were stripped of basic rights of equality and even the right to live at times they were killed and wounded or sent

to jail and crackdowns on anti-government protests that's why we decided to be part of this uprising. and women are only one of the many groups here not to feel united by a common cause from a distance these masses loop and sound the same on close inspection it's a complete human spectrum of faces and acts on this from the four corners of africa's third largest country. this man is from one of the most marginalized and oppressed communities in the north of mountains is reminding his people of the many wrongs they've been subjected to and his calling for a free sudan where all enjoy equality and dignity the same yearning for a better sudan despise this man from the southern regions. know they've got the. the protests here a new life and a new spirit after decades of disparate justice that's why i decided to join.

people from darfur and the east where rebel groups for the government for years have suddenly found a more efficient means to achieve their goals. for the first time in the history of this country a movement has brought together all sudanese people if you look at the protest you can say all types of faces from every region and every ethnic group their old united around the same goal which is to change the regime and create a new sadat and there is no changes have given way to an explosion of public expression aside from the chants and speeches young artists here are using them for a couple of walls on the ferments with things celebrating freedom showing sudan in its colors basking in the bliss of this new really found freedom. going after long suppressed dreams we were mostly afraid to take photos or paint outdoors we face

tremendous difficulties in that respect especially protests painting on walls in particular presented a challenge for us i was arrested and harassed because of my support for the uprising but this is my best way to contribute they tell us uplifting the poor is the goal of these protesters an idea they've represented through a portrait of this homeless boy who collects garbage on the streets radiating with happiness mostafa tells us his plan is to study first and within ten years to become the president of sudan. or dizzy or a car too. plenty more ahead on this news hour including time to get serious for ukraine's comedian turned president with ending the war and fighting corruption. as activists in argentina again push to decriminalize abortion we take a look at the difficulties and risks faced by the women who choose to go ahead with

the procedure. and there's a surprise result and italy's top flight football league leader will be here with the details. while the u.s. is demanding that all countries stop buying a rainy an oil or face sanctions iran export slightly more than a million barrels per day with the majority going to china india south korea and japan washington announced last year that it would impose sanctions on any country importing oil from iran but offered waivers to some key trading partners secretary of state mike pompei or now says those waivers won't be renewed when they expire next month south korea has since reacted to pompei was announcement saying negotiations with the us to extend the waiver are under way the u.s. secretary of state also said the united arab emirates and saudi arabia will ensure

sufficient supplies of oil that riyadh appears to contradict that saying it wouldn't immediately step up outposts well al jazeera is rosalyn jordan has more from washington. the u.s. says its efforts to impose a worldwide embargo on iranian oil is already working in the last eleven months the trumpet ministration says iran has lost about ten billion dollars in oil revenue all this as washington to punish the han for what it calls the government's quote aligned ways the top administration and our allies are determined to sustain and expand the maximum economic pressure campaign against iran to end the regimes destabilizing activity threatening the united states our partners and allies and security in the middle east these demands are not just coming from the united states government and many of our allies and partners there similar to what we hear from the iranian people themselves the u.s.

imposed oil sanctions on iran in may two thousand and eighteen after it withdrew from what president donald trump called the ineffective iran nuclear deal the u.s. wanted to cut off iran's ability to support hezbollah and who the fighters as well as send aid to governments in syria and venezuela last fall when oil supplies were tight the u.s. gave several countries permission to wrap up their existing iranian oil purchases by no later than may second but now the u.s. says supplies are plentiful and so the five countries still importing iranian crude china india turkey japan and south korea no longer have a reason to keep buying from terre han. to conduct these transactions one almost always needs to participate in the financial markets and we intend to enforce the sanctions we don't lay out sanctions that we don't have any intention of encouraging countries to cooperate with analysts say it's important to look at the impact sanctions could have on ties between the u.s.

and other countries for example how sanctions could derail current chinese american trade talks but analysts say it's just as important to consider why the white house considers saudi arabia in the united arab emirates and not other oil producing nations key to making the iranian embargo work i think that actually feeds into this narrative of this very close relationship that the president trump has a with the saudi royal family and of course the united states is again this is the president who looks at issues from a transactional standpoint state department officials won't say just how soon after may third that the u.s. will impose sanctions on countries still buying oil from iran but they are adamant they say the only way to get iran to change its behavior is by imposing an embargo and the only way to make certain that the embargo works is to impose sanctions on other countries even if those countries happen to be the u.s. as friends rosalyn jordan al-jazeera the state department well let's speak to an

attack and here's a political and economic commentator and he's joining us now from beijing and to talk us through the sino iranian relationship and just how price that is. well we'll be here for the belton road conference coming up then this week it is judith traditionally an area where china has bought a tremendous amount of oil total exports from iran are down but they're still one point one million barrels per day so you're talking about a significant percentage of the world's oil going there china has contracts with around to help them with their logistics both in the gulf and i believe that they're also being part of this new port that's being created in the sea obama on which would get them beyond the hormuz straits so it's a long lasting relationship there's little chance that china will abandon them and

in chinese circles they've already said that they do not uphold the believe that any nation has the right to unilateral sanctions and that they will just they will be coming forward with more comments after or actions after the actual embargoed goes through there's some feeling that this might be just another attempt by donald trump to kind of throw something into the works while he's negotiating with them over this trade deal about to come back to the trade deal but and i want to ask you if trump does follow through after these waivers expire on may the second what kinds of sanctions could we see imposed on china. well it's interesting i mean there has been some talk about allowing countries to get out but to start going after the individual companies and people who had those companies and imposing sanctions on them this might be washington's too clever by

half idea of extending it kind of going after hallways daughter you know and going after hallway i mean there's seems to be this idea that you can continually kind of pick at individuals and that this will have an effect on the national rusher but you know donald trump has been recently saying that oil prices are too high and now he's doing actions which are going to push them even higher so people are trying to scratch their head exactly what his long term strategy is it seems to be regime change i doubt that that will find a lot of takers even among the middle east you do not want. iran in a state of. complete disarray well let's talk about those oil prices as you say president trump has railed against high prices but this move is likely to push it up and we're already seeing that can the u.s. and its allies guarantee supply at the kinds of levels that china means.

i know they can but i mean this this is one of the issues that is involved here is that the u.s. needs to sell things to china in order to make up this trade deficit the americans consumers are not stopping there have not stopped their appetite for chinese goods and it doesn't look like that's going to occur in the future so maybe this is a ploy by donald trump to try to push american oil remember the united states is now the largest oil producer in the world shale oil is part is a major part of that but here here's the dilemma pushing up oil prices will bring more shale into the market because it becomes a better investment but it will also push up oil prices which is going to affect his favor realty you look at places like india which is involved in an election now if people start feeling the crunch before they finish voting they might not see donald trump in modi's involved in that as in such

a nice light and a coming back to that trade deal that china and the u.s. are trying to hammer out and what washington also needs help with north korea from beijing so lots of things that that washington does need from beijing could this move affect things. well obviously it affects things i don't think the chinese are overly surprised i mean they expect donald trump to do something kind of off the wall. you know periodic instances when he's trying to negotiate a deal whether it's sailing ships through the taiwan straits or you know closer to disputed areas in the south china sea or threatening. trade relationships with china or going after chinese companies like hallway this is kind of come become routine they expect it it's in their playbook they'll respond but probably after the belton road initiative conference which is happening later this week right now

most of beijing's attention is focused on its major economic event and donald trump is kind of like in the sidelines shouting and screaming but i don't know how much attention is being paid if he carries it through there will be some very marked issues because china cannot withdraw from its relationship with iran so you know it's anyone's guess where this goes from now maybe this is just hollow you know threats by pompei oh no one is quite certain an attack in that place or an economic comment speaking to us from beijing thanks for joining us out of there. well police in mexico have to taint hundreds of migrants who are trying to make their way to the united states they were arrested in the state of chap us president had promised more humane treatment for migrants but he's been facing pressure from washington to stop them before they cross into the u.s. john heilemann has the latest for us from mexico city. hundreds of people detained

then in this caravan of about three thousand people it's being called the biggest mass detention since these caravans heading through mexico most of them from central america trying to get to the united states began and it's been seen here is quite a surprise and that's because president and raise money well lopez obrador of mexico for a long time has had a sort of softer line on migration he says that it's cause really by a lack of opportunities back home in the south of mexico or honduras el salvador salvador guatemala and he says that the all sorts of this really is for more investment in those countries for a long time he's been trying to get president donald trump to sort of joining investment attempts and schemes for those countries but this seems to be a sort of shift in the policy when it comes after in the beginning of the month of april president donald trump saying that he'd give mexico year and then if they

didn't stop the problems of migration or drugs coming through the country and heading to the united states by mexico is north of the border but it's more terrorists on cause and then it's back to work then he'd shut the border now mitch chris president has really tried to avoid any sort of confrontation with president trump and it was sort of of that that we started to see a couple more arrests happening in migrant caravans trying to get through mexico. women's rights groups say they'll present a new project this month to decriminalize abortion in argentina a country where interrupting a pregnancy is now only legal in cases of rape or if the mother's life is at risk but as tree is a by reports from the province of even when the law permits the abortion women still face all sorts of difficulty. cecilio sick and her husband. irene bald in a fight to decriminalise have been in argentina they live in money north west

argentina one of the most conservative provinces in the country the fight is a personal one as it doctors are under investigation for carrying out an abortion on an eleven year old girl who had been raised. with i know i wanted to evaluate what we could do in a case and what i saw horrified me in a live in year old girl playing with toys whose body is not developed to give birth with the belly she still had a baby teeth and a mouth she was being tortured the girl known only as who was allegedly raped by her step grandfather lucy is eleven years old when she was sixteen weeks pregnant when her condition was detected she was brought to this hospital because according to doctors she requested them to remove from her belly what would be all the man had put inside of her the procedure was delayed for about two months human rights group denounced that authorities wanted to convince her to keep the baby in spite

of her young age with so much time having passed hoarsely he decided as he serin section operation was the best way to proceed however when they try to get the operating room ready for the procedure being countered and others said back see to us the girl's mother was there and she was so afraid because all the hospital plus now had left because the object to the procedure those who did not want to participate wanted to film us so they could post it on social media. in the end the baby was born alive only to die a few days later look c.s. case is not the only one in northern argentina this is a country where abortion in cases of rape has be legal for nearly a century. now. was abused by a relative when she was fourteen she says while law may be on her side the system works against the victims just as i was ashamed of my belly of the questions and when i had the baby i did not want to see her i rejected her so badly my

grandmother said she is beautiful and she is nobody will never take the pain away from me. in general a woman impacted are poor and vulnerable. every time a woman denounces something to the police to patch a back and laugh at you they have no heart was last year argentina's congress debated for the first time in history the possibility of decriminalizing abortion in a country where women can still go to jail if found guilty of having had one the law was rejected in the senate. the lawyers in the northern part of the country say conservative groups want to ensure the law is never voided again. after the abortion debate they wanted to go back in time and pass a law to prohibit abortion in case of rape but they made it so complicated it's almost impossible to have an abortion once you've been raped abortion remains

a contentious issue in argentina and while lawmakers are prepared to vote on legalizing it again later this year human rights groups denounce the hardships women and girls face even when they have the law on their side. one i didn't. still ahead on al-jazeera a new prime minister takes charge in mali where people are growing impatient with violence and an economic crisis class we'll have more on the pakistani prime minister in one khan's visit to iran. and to spanish tennis players going head to head in basra and find out who came out on top with deer in school.

rebellion is in the air now that ukrainians have elected a comedian to be the president. election observers praised what they called a colorful and competitive campaign i would really for the hearts of the lights to come directly relate to the citizens of ukraine for their deep commitment to democracy demonstrated in competitive elections in which they had free of the free choice given ukraine's history of contested votes and violent revolution sunday's election went so smoothly that both candidates agreed ukraine has set an example to other countries in the region including russia a russian meme is now circulating featuring russia's most popular comic alongside let me putin putin is saying don't even think about it.

a more democratic ukraine might even be a way for the president elect to be a zelinsky to tackle the conflict in eastern ukraine against russia and russian backed forces what he needs to do is to work very quickly to improve the lives of ordinary ukrainians and if he's able to do that i think ukrainians in the don't boss under the part that is under russian control could look at what's going on in ukraine there's new dynamism perhaps and so you know what maybe it's worth for us to stay as part of ukraine maybe it's not worth taking those russian passports and offering to achieve that zelinsky will now need his political party servant of the people in ukraine's parliament and that won't be easy it's a big game for this person to join the good people around him not only the outstanding business man's no media managers about people who are going to develop
