the four years while the military council has opted for to of course the military council says that it's open for dialogue and it does want to talk to the coalition and invited them for talks later but who's spoken to members of the coalition and they're saying that they haven't received an official invite here to heard about the invitation from the media so they're not sure if they will be attending those talks so at the moment me and martin as much as it seems like they are what they're saying there's some kind of world from the council to try to break the impasse it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon all right meanwhile it's see infusing as i'm from the public the sudanese people for the city and outside the army headquarters that is the very lifeblood of this revolution isn't it do you do you sense that enthusiasm is picking up or is waning while people have been arriving more and far more in front of the army headquarters since bashir is are saying we've seen people arriving by train from our bar yesterday we've seen people arriving from various other parts of the country to join the sit in there

saying that they want to make sure that their revolution is not stolen by the military and they're going to be sitting there and is handed over to a civilian government there's also a million people march that has been called for by the coalition to morrow people are saying that they will be attending those marchers they will be voicing their demands which includes not just handing over power to civilian transitional government but also just as they're saying that they want every former member of the of the former government held accountable so we're expecting to see a large turnout despite the fact that president bush has been ousted martin and finally the group of african leaders meeting under the aegis of the african union in cairo extending the period of grace if you like from what was it fifteen days. now to three months so that's angered the protesters has it. yes indeed it has or we've heard from protesters yesterday and today and they're saying that this

is not what they want and they consider it an interference in sudan's affairs in their revolution they're saying that the people inside sudan the coalition the military council and the various political parties will be able to decide how long it should take for a transitional government to be formed they don't want interference from the african union or from any other country so there has been some anger and people have been responding and really they have been signs written at the protest in front of the army headquarters saying that african union should stay away from this if they're not going to force the military council to hand over power to a civilian government all right here morgan live from khartoum thank you very much indeed now runs for melissa has a keeping the strait of hormuz open is in the interest of a rainy a national security job. the speaking in new york after the u.s. withdrew waivers which allowed a small number of economies to buy rain you know iran responded by again threatening to block the girls which is the world's main oil shipping route it is

in our interests are not it's our national security interest to keep the persian gulf open to keep the strait of almost open we've done that in the past we will continue to do it in the future but you know to see should know that when they enter the straight talk almost they have to talk to those who are protecting the straight talker much and that is for sure anya watch more now from our diplomatic editor james bays. well he says that iran has done absolutely nothing wrong iran entered into what he describes a treaty formally it wasn't actually a treaty with the international community including the united states and it's the u.s. that has ripped up that deal it's the u.s. that now is removing those waivers for eight countries to still trade with iran on oil and he made the point that the iran nuclear deal is not just a deal itself it was in shrine and in a u.n.

security council resolution so by ending international law and he said for the first time in his view in history a permanent member of the u.n. security council was not only going against a u.n. security council resolution it was pushing others to go against a u.n. security council resolution he did say that he believed that in his view that president trump did want to come to some sort of new deal but he said there wouldn't be a new deal because iran really had given everything with the existing deal that was the best they were going to get and he was not prepared for iran to give up on its dignity he said although he believed that president trump didn't want war he thought there were those around him including his national security adviser john bolton and other influences the israeli prime minister the king of saudi arabia the ruler of the u.a.e. who actually wanted regime change in iran possibly even to destroy iran as

a country and the u.s. has offered a ten million dollar reward for information that would disrupt the finances of the lebanese group hezbollah are there it is backed by iran and there's concern that america's anti around agenda maybe stabilize lebanon then the harder reports from beirut. has a blog receives donations and religious tax from its support base in lebanon she. community but it's a small fraction of its budget the united states says the iranian backed group earns almost one billion dollars a year to financial support from iran international businesses and investments corruption and money laundering it announced a new initiative to further isolate hezbollah today the us department states rewards for justice program is offering a new reward offer up to ten million u.s. dollars for the information leading to the disruption of financial activities that

support the global terrorist organization lebanese hezbollah. the us administration has been pushing a hard iran agenda secretary of state mike pompei i was in beirut last month where he told the lebanese to stand up to hezbollah but has blind its allies controlled parliament and government making it harder for the u.s. to target the group without targeting the country. the u.s. officials always be clear that they want to this year between lebanon and hezbollah between those sanctions and the economy and i think this is the effort of course by this is possible we cannot say we are safe but we are taking a lot of measures here internally and good trying to keep safe the economy and the banking sector. the u.s. has offered military and economic support to lebanon despite hezbollah's growing political influence that may change with a more confrontational policy involving sanctioning hezbollah's allies who include

the president and head of parliament. so there will be further u.s. action against his like sanctioning his class political allies there is no doubt sanctions have already hurt his but for the live in a state not to be affected it will need to distinguish itself from his. the u.s. considers hezbollah as an arm of iran's revolutionary guards while it may have been created by the guards decades ago it has since embedded itself in the lebanese state. hezbollah dismisses the effectiveness of u.s. sanctions and calls them a form of war its leader hassan nasrallah in early march urged supporters to donate money that call was not seen as a sign of desperation but more a message to hezbollah's followers to embrace austerity measures. hezbollah's role in government allows it to use resources to fill the gap in services it used to provide directly to its own constituency the group may survive but lebanon is in

that in the first three months of this year the leading cause of civilian deaths was airstrikes the majority by the u.s. military in total the afghan government and its supporting forces were responsible for killing more than three hundred civilians more than the taliban and eisel combined it is counterproductive this is just going to create more enemies and more taliban this is not going to help needed because of the afghan government nor the cause of the u.s. led coalition in iraq and afghanistan the u.s. military has defended its actions in afghanistan we hold ourselves to the highest standards of accuracy and accountability we strive for precision in all of our operations we reserve the right of self defense of our forces as well as the afghan security forces. and search operations all night raids by afghan intelligence units and a militia known as the haas protection force killed another seventy two civilians

transfer power to civilian rule and they're angry after the african union gave the military council three months in which to hand over power iran's foreign minister says keeping the strait of hormuz open is in the interest of a rainy and national security. in new york after the u.s. withdrew sudden sions waivers for china india and iran's other major all customers . all right we're going to go back to the situation in sudan now the political crisis there we can speak to someone here el mubarak who's a member of the sudanese professional association she's joining us live from the capital khartoum thank you very much indeed for talking to us now that the. the protesters have decided to back away from negotiations with the military council how would you describe this moment in terms of the the transition of the revolution to getting a civilian government what does this moment mean. the

current military council. is just an extension for the previous regime three of the members of of the military council are previous members of the n.c.p. government which are the which are members of the previous writings and this this this shows and this is an indicator that they have been an obstacle the political community has been an obstacle for for reached change and for reform and for negotiations right. let me sorry let me out and really sorry let me jump in because i want to get this absolutely clear so what chill demanding then in order to resume negotiations is the removal of three members of the military transitional council no we're demanding the handover to a civilian transitional authority that has the major demand in the street right here absolutely one to hand over to civilian transitional authority get military

council cannot cannot oversee the formation of a government ok but the dialogue this could have been well look i mean by saying that the members that are being what i meant by saying that the members of the military council are part of the previous government is just an indicator that the change has been on the. that change has not been at the at the root causes at the root of the. of of the of the council so. what we're demanding is the civilian transitional council be formed immediately represented by the forces of the connection of freedom and change all right ok so basically what you want i just want to be absolutely clear about this is basically what you want is for this military transitional council to step down and for the forces of the opposition to presume to take over hard for you yourselves you're the sudan professional association there are other political parties as well and other

coalitions how few presented a team that could form and act as a transitional government. just to be clear i don't speak for this but as far as i know there there there have been teams and there have been negotiations and there have been negotiations and teams that have been working for months to present of a structure for the transitional government and to put a lay out for the constitution the transitional constitution that's that's going to be in place once the transitional government takes it takes place and takes form so . over all of the layout is ready the road map is the road map is already set and it has been presented and has been out for for further negotiation and further improvement. there is a road map ok place and now sorry sorry there's a bit of a delay on the line who is that look at c.h.

and supposed to be with them so you've presented a road map for an interim constitutional process amount of you need more negotiation who are you aiming to negotiate with. the negotiation the negotiation is is it's by by putting up all these. negotiations not with the government or the handover the demand is from the government actually to handle rather than to negotiate what the what what wouldn't sorry not the government the military council the military council has to hand over to a civilian government asked for the proposal set by the forces of the freedom of freedom and change s.b.a. included right ok so i'm here thank you very much indeed for taking the time to talk to us live from khartoum thank you write this here to the north korean leader now who has arrived in neighboring russia for thursday's meeting with the russian president vladimir putin kim jong un is in the port city of la give us talk two

months after the break down of the second summit with donald trump that you'll remember was held in vietnam that came told reporters that he's keen to discuss the future of the korean peninsula with the russian president. your musical i came to russia with a warm feeling of our people i hope this visit will be successful and rewarding and that during the talks with esteemed president putin i will be able to specifically discuss issues of resolving the situation on the korean peninsula and development of all a lot to the relationship all right let's speak to mark fitzpatrick that was director of the nonproliferation program at the international institute for strategic studies he's joining us live from washington d.c. interesting meeting that isn't there between kim jong un and vladimir putin who stands to gain what. it is an interesting meeting although it's mostly symbolic i don't think either of them will have that much to gain the russians

are getting back into the game you know they used to be a major player in the korean peninsula they were part of six party talks those ended ten years ago. russians have some small monitored in investment north korea but nothing like what china has north korea always wants to play off russia and china but but they read russia really doesn't have that much to offer so it's a way of for kim to show that he has other partners but russia isn't really that big of a partner for the ride so it's more about the optics and then really to strengthen the hand of kid insofar as it can counterbalance that the relationship with with donald trump. that's right but you know it's the united states that holds the main cards in terms of the kind of security guarantees that north korea needs or wants the lifting of the sanctions that north korea

desperately wants russia really can't affect either of those things except with regard to the sanctions they can provide some loopholes to north korea they're already doing that by allowing north korea to send cold dumping it in russian ports and then it's exported under a different name so they can do that kind of a minor way of allowing some trade with north korea but they really don't really have the infrastructure to do a lot right ok but russia does share a very small land with north korea and there's the issue of what about eight thousand i believe it is north korean workers in russia. right that's actually an important matter the the north korean laborers provide an important source of foreign currency for north korea the united states and its partners have been trying to get. that cut off as a further means of putting pressure on north korea but but russia doesn't want to put that pressure one they need to labors and to it gives them some leverage with

north korea to to try to show that they are north korea's friend so they they may maintain that and they have a they have a railway line through that small border that you mentioned so there is some degree of trade but it's just it's just not that big but also i mean russia must have some particular interest in one of its neighbors pursuing nuclear weapons according to to many so that must be a certain amount of interest or definitely definitely you put your finger on it there russia does not like to see more neighbors having nuclear weapons because it dilutes russia's monopoly on them in the region and it worries about the trouble that could be caused by these nuclear weapons so russia has been been trying to work with other parties to to find a solution to the north korean issue. but they haven't been

a very active player diplomatically all right mark fitzpatrick thank you very much indeed have. now boeing says the crisis saver it seven three seven jets has cost it a billion dollars in the first three months of this yeah well the three hundred people died any of this year when two of the jets crashed the airspace giant is working on a fix for a software problem that many believe have led to the accidents the company also scrapped its profit for cost of around seventy about when the grounded plane will return to service let's speak to john hendren our correspondent joining us live from chicago so no real surprise then but perhaps at the amounts that these disasters these two does all says about the cost boeing. that's right word sheen apparently investors were preparing for this though this is a very rare drop for boeing in both revenue and in earnings in that has investors

upset but they've already factored that into what's happening today they were expecting that the company's value has dropped by about fourteen percent since that last crash in march so revenue is down about two percent to about twenty two point nine billion that is down from about twenty three point four billion and that may that may account right there for that billion dollars in lost revenue in their plane manufacturing earnings are down ten percent to three dollars and seventy five cents a share but today the stock is slightly up less than one percent and what does that tell us it tells us that investors are relatively satisfied with the recoveries so far it's hard to believe for those of us who look at this as passengers but they have clearly factored this in production costs have gone up by a billion dollars as well that's it due to the fact that the company is churning out about forty two planes

a month where as they were previously turning out fifty two you still got to pay for all those workers and all of that infrastructure. and then there is the untold cost of legal settlements from the more than three hundred people who died on those planes brian so one more unusual thing that has happened here is boeing has suspended its annual forecast that means they're not telling investors how much they plan to make by the end of the year that is troubling for investors and so how far in the fortunes of boeing in dependence then on getting the seven three seven mats back up in the air. boeing really needs to get that plane back up in the air and restore the confidence of the flying public in order to return to its previous revenues this software of play update that was supposed to help fix this problem that has been delayed until at least mid may we are now told and then meanwhile airlines are not relying on that happening to the

biggest customers for that plane southwest airlines and american airlines has dropped all the flights for the seven thirty seven extending them into august so that is going to force affect this summer travel season for people here and around the world but investors are not abandoning this company they remain they remain satisfied with where the company has gone in terms of its recovery but they could hit it again if it doesn't meet those marks but the real issue for boeing at this point is restoring public confidence the big question is are people going to climb back on that plane when it starts flying out of airports again right john hendren thank you very much live in chicago. a funeral has been held for lyra mckee the journalist who was shot during riots in north none and last week families and friends paid tribute to the twenty nine year old while a priest told the congregation had death must be a turning point for north naan and police say they're treating the shooting as

a terrorist attack the dissident republican group the new ira admitted responsibility saying she was shot accidentally. well the vigils have been held for larry mickey across ireland and great britain now has more from outside one of them in london. all at the same time as the lira mckee's funeral service was happening at the cathedral in belfast there were similar events in other cities including dublin glasgow and here in london at this church which they call the journalists church and now we're in the keys photo sits besides those of other journalists who died in the line of duty as it were she was actually the first journalist to be killed. while at work in the u.k. for twenty years and several dozen people gathered here to pay their respects there were tributes from the national union of journalists who've set up a crowdfunding appeal for her family and there was a message from

a leader in the keys part of the say or a well as her family who thanked the n.u.j. now the service in belfast brought together bits of political rivals there was the british prime minister. treason may and jeremy colvin the leader of the labor opposition as well as the irish t. shirt leo varadkar but also the site of the leader of shin fein mary lou mcdonald sitting next to the d u p leader ali foster now this killing has actually increased calls for them to work together to get back that stormont power sharing government in northern ireland which has created this political vacuum which some people say is part of the reason why we've seen dissident republicans take up violence put in the place where literally he was killed in derry itself many people have actually protested against the dissident republicans and their political allies they're very angry about what's happened and even though little

murky has been killed many people hoping that through her writings and her work her message. people peace and dialogue is the way forward but somehow something good will come out of this tragedy. there are uncertainties surrounding the u.k.'s plan to leave the european union has prompted renewed calls for scottish independence scotland's first minister nicolas sturgeon is pushing for a second referendum to be held before twenty twenty one she says voters should be given a chance to choose between bracks it and making scotland an independent european nation the country voted against independence in two of the fourteen new zealand and france are joining forces to stop social media platforms from broadcasting atrocities as they happen she anchors government blocked social media to stop the spread of fake information following sunday's bombings new zealand's prime minister and the french president to host

they want more. he had said last night in his address to the nation that within twenty four hours we're going to be changes made to the heads of defense establishment and he has made good on his words now constitutionally he is not committed to sack the police chief so he is asked him to resign instead and he is allowed to sack the defense minute defense secretary he has asked him to resign we've got confirmation from the president's office now whether or not that's going to be enough for the nation while the politicians are seeking answers as to how this this breakdown in communication happened seven suggestions that it was because there was a rift between the prime minister and the president that led to information not being passed on remember that the president is not only commander in chief but also in charge of the police but both of these men the president and the prime minister

have said that they were not aware that this information had been passed to security offices so clearly there is still no clarity no aunts as to why the information was not acted on was not passed on to the right agencies but politicians and police seeking aunt says it remains to be seen whether or not there will be more resignations alright and meanwhile more details are emerging about who actually carried out these attacks what sort of form is the investigation taking what do we know about the investigation now. well police said that the minister of state minister for defense have said that they have managed to identify the police have said that managed to identify eight of the nine ball mess now we've also heard the officials say that it's quite a worrying trend that many of these bombers to several of these bombers rather come

from a middle class and rather a fluent background and that's worrying because it means that these men have been exposed to high and these men have been exposed to high education they've travelled abroad they were not only exposed to religious indoctrination yet they were swayed by these extremist religious leanings so that's going to be the toughest really long term next curbing religious extremism that's what they're going to have to try to do in terms of identifying how this that the national this group of national. carried out the attacks that's also going to be another angle of investigation they're also looking at whether or not this the planet as well as the suicide bomber has had help carrying out these attacks several terrorism research as have said that because the attacks were sophisticated they were well coordinated that could have been planning and help from abroad florence louis reporting live

from the sri lankan capital thank you for now. now to sudan where military leaders there invited opposition leaders for more talks after the coalition for freedom and change said it had ended negotiations with the military council because it refused to transfer power to civilians immediately fallon's of demonstrators meanwhile are continuing their sit in at the army headquarters in kabul to african union leaders the anger the protests is by saying that the military council could have three months in which to hand over power. of us get it we've suspended talks with the military council we will not talk with them we get into the. knowledge that we are part of the government should be completely civilian but the council should be considerate of civilians with a military representation that is the point of difference we need to reach a solution because deals already has to be civilian and the government has to practice all of its capacities without interference from any other party more now

from our correspondent in khartoum here morgan the military council has said that it is inviting members of the coalition to try to break the deadlock between the two sides the coalition has described the council as an obstacle trying to rob the people of their revolution and so forth differences stand between the coalition and the military council the council who wants a period transitional period of two years while the coalition has asked for a period of four years there's also the issue of how that transitional government should look like and how it should run the council wants to be the one supervising it while the coalition has asked for independence from the military council meanwhile thousands are gathered in front of the army headquarters to continue where this to ten continue with their sit in for the third week they are saying that they will not and the sit in they will continue protesting and till the military hands of a part an independent civilian government the coalition has already called for a million people march tomorrow and people have been arriving from various states around the country to make that happen so with that at hand it's not clear how the

two sides will be able to meet together and talk and break the deadlock to end the days of sitting in front of the army headquarters iran's foreign minister has said keeping the strait of whom is open is in the interests of the rainy and national security the reef was speaking in new york after the u.s. withdrew waivers which allowed for some countries to buy oil iran responded by again threatening to block the gulf which is the world's main shipping route. it is in our interests are not it's our why for national security interest to keep the persian gulf open to keep the strait of almost open we've done that in the past we will continue to do it in the future but the united states should know that when they enter the straight up almost they have to talk to those who are protecting the straight talker much and that is iranian revolutionary guard. more now from our diplomatic editor jane space. well he says that iran has done absolutely nothing

wrong iran entered into what he describes a treaty formally it wasn't actually a treaty with the international community including the united states and it's the u.s. that has ripped up that deal it's the u.s. that now is removing those waivers for eight countries to still trade with iran on oil and he made the point that the iran nuclear deal is not just a deal itself it was in shrine and in a u.n. security council resolution so binding international law and he said for the first time in his view in history a permanent member of the u.n. security council was not only going against a u.n. security council resolution it was pushing others to go against a u.n. security council resolution he did say that he believed that in his view that president trump did want to come to some sort of new deal but he said there

wouldn't be a new deal because iran really had given everything with the existing deal that was the best they were going to get and he was not prepared for iran to give up on its dignity he said although he believed that president trump didn't want war he thought there were those around him including his national security adviser john bolton and other influences the israeli prime minister the king of saudi arabia the ruler of the u.a.e. who actually wanted regime change in iran possibly even to destroy iran as a country. north korea's leaders arrived in neighboring russia for thursday's meeting with vladimir putin came in is in the port city of light of all stark two months after the break down of a second summit with donald trump in vietnam came told reporters that he is keen to discuss the future of the korean peninsula with the russian president. if you or me
