first gulf war in one nine hundred ninety one but supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei made it clear iranian oil will continue to flow despite american intimidation. all metal body can. we will explored as much oil as we need and want the enemy must know that this hostility won't remain without a response the mission of iran won't remain silent against us hostility. the consensus in iran seems to be that war with america is unlikely as the cost would be too high that there has been talking to one of disrupting the strait of hormuz which would wreak havoc on oil markets but for now it may just be saber rattling what i'm saying is it is in our interests and not our national security interest to keep the persian gulf open to keep the strait of almost open but as long as sanctions continue to heighten tensions what happens next remains unpredictable zain. to her on. still ahead on live on the boeing reports huge losses on the

collect and then secondly of course there's the possibility to intercept communications and perhaps even to blackmail different. governments organizations in order to exert pressure chloé isn't the only example of the dilemma facing the u.k. over its relationship with china the country has already been given a contract to build a new nuclear power station in the west of england despite concerns. it would allow beijing to control parts of the u.k.'s power supply as with everything here bricks its costs a shadow over all of this parts of the government's very much want to do new trade deals with china in order to replace existing ones with the european union yet the spy agencies are worried about the impact of a chinese takeover of the british economy on security in diplomatic circles one of the main topics of conversation has become just waltz a mess that you case china policy has turned into even more ironically chinese

what's being proposed for five g. so they can do external parts like in tennis and the radio network but not the core networks and what's being proposed is something similar for five g. so it's not an expansion of the same time the u.s. would like to see them banned entirely from doing business in most western countries so it's a bit of a victory for awhile way that they're being allowed in at all. now most of the but all of the world's top museums often remains in storage head and from public view and one that museum in new york is trying to change that christensen to me has more . when it comes to the brooklyn museums collection of american art there's much more than meets the eye those taking in this exhibit called soul of a nation can take a deeper dive into an artist or genre by exploring what's not on display in the museum in what's called the visible storage center collection has a lot of other examples and this is an example of

a work by an artist affiliated in the black arts movement that wasn't in the exhibition but is certainly in our collection museum goers are often shocked to learn that most major institutions display less than ten percent of their collection here visitors can search the museums database for hidden gems i never realized this all of what they had that they couldn't show to the public as this is a good way to see things you probably wouldn't see any of the time light temperature and humidity are regulated to preserve the art the brooklyn museum has about three hundred fifty items on display in its main galleries related to american art but its overall collection is much more vast like most museums visible storage gives the public access to another twenty seven hundred works of art. critics of large art museums say visible storage doesn't go far enough and argue that items in storage should be sold to smaller regional museums the proceeds could then be used to subsidize free admission exposing art to

a wider audience we could parcel out some of those material out of the basements of the big especially the big east coast and central museums to places that don't have it all that or it would be creating a lot more public value which is what i think it's for but visible storage is a resource for scholars one that more and more museums are considering according to collections manager walter anderson. we're basically the friends of the public by making sure that the things that need care get it but we're also presenting this volume of work in an exciting way so that people who want to learn more can certainly learn more allowing art institutions to both maintain their collections and with visible storage provide more of the public a glimpse of great works of art christian salumi al-jazeera brooklyn new york. hello again as a problem in doha with the headlines on al-jazeera three members of saddam's

wedding military council have offered their resignations a comes after wednesday's meeting between the generals and a coalition of protest leaders and political parties the two sides have agreed to form a committee to work through their differences but the military leaders still haven't heated protest as main demand all civilian full. the first ever so much for north korea's leader kim jong un and russian president vladimir putin has begun in the city of latifah stock says kevin's visit will help moscow understand how to reach a settlement on denuclearization of the korean peninsula the two are also expected to talk about bilateral trade steps and has more. this is the first time. and kim jong un are meeting the spyder fact that they are neighbors they share a short land border and also despite the fact that they have long historic ties but now of course one of the topics is the nuclearization. of course it's

a difficult position that. of course russia is an important member of the security council but also he wants to be some kind of mediator in this conflict here in korea so that's why the timing of this moment this meeting is very important it's just two months after the meeting of donald trump and kim jong un field in hanoi so that's why wants to start been and show that he can play a role in the conflict that he hasn't been playing a role in for quite a long time. sri lanka's president has asked the defense secretary and the police chief to step down following sunday's attacks my chief city center says pry and televisions about the bombings wasn't shared with his office the death toll is now three hundred fifty nine with hundreds more wounded. iran says the u.s. must be prepared for consequences of a tries to stop it selling its oil president hassan rouhani says he's open to resume talks but only if the u.s.

apologizes first. those are the headlines on al-jazeera i'll have another full news bulletin for you in just under thirty minutes coming up next as the string thank you for watching. one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much and put in contribution to a story as feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be what it is you know it's very true but it got to be because you have a lot of people that you played political issue. with the people believe tell the real story i'll just use to deliver journalism we don't feel good all of us across the globe. and i'm. in the stream today remembering china's proto moccasin movement how of the

tiananmen square protest massacre where members made heavy government censorship the topic is one of the most censored on china's internet so what questions do you have about its history legacy share your thoughts in our you tube chat or via twitter stream. this month marks thirty years since the start of student led pro-democracy protests in china's tiananmen square where weeks of peaceful demonstration later ended in a deadly military crackdown known as a challenge and square massacre or june the fourth incident hundreds and perhaps thousands of believed to have been killed by the people's liberation army the initial protests were sparked by the death of reform minded former communist party head heriot gang in late april one thousand nine hundred nine tens of thousands of students filled the square to mourn his death and carry on his message of political change and an end to corruption students were later joined by civil servants and

others calling for democratic reform so today we'll speak to those who witnessed events at tiananmen square thirty years ago and look at how their history is being remembered on and off line in taipei taiwan we're joined by. a chinese we. dissident and student leader during the one thousand nine hundred ninety anam and protests in toronto canada jan wong a journalist and or foe who was an eyewitness to the mascot to animate square and in irving california in the us a most toe a fellow at the u.c. irvine school of law he studies free expression and online content regulation it's good to have you all here guess i just i want to start with you that atmosphere in april of one thousand nine hundred ninety think back on it's a long long long time ago what was happening in terms of protests and demonstrations what did it feel like to be a reporter in beijing back then it was super exciting and there was an

air of optimism and it was a strange time and these were the first spontaneous demonstrations really since the bounty of the people's republic in the center of the country in beijing and so the weather was beautiful the students were out and everybody was quite optimistic everyone thought this was this is going to be wonderful things are going to change and so there's a lot of excitement and lots of ordinary people joined in and i want to show our audience tana a square a port a twenty second one thousand nine hundred nine running back thirty years there were protests there were demonstrations have a look at this have a listen to this. i know you're going to come from the surplus at leisure lately you know exactly who and lead

was a mess you see what's happening here in town and square is that people are gathering hate to commemorate official or chinese official he died called hugh yaobang he was really well known for his political and economic reforms have a look at the students in this class. you know he was a move were you one of the students in the square right that. the

major achievement the. government. one of the iconic images from that time is this one that people are remembering online if you do any search for tenements where on twitter you see images like this this is a guest and this is a man who is commonly referred to now as tank man this is a photo that was taken by an a.p. photographer jeff why did there in the middle of that square a man who stood in front of a tank jan i know you were there this day what do you remember about this incident . this happened on a monday but the massacre itself happened on a saturday night into sunday morning and then there were still protests on sunday

and then by monday because the soldiers kept shooting at people by monday morning this streets were really dead quiet and i was working in that hotel room overlooking that street and my husband was with me and he said you better get out of here and so i a rat rushed up to the balcony and i saw this and i started to cry because i had seen so many people killed and and wounded the day before and then i thought i can't cry because i have to witness this i have to watch what happened and so i watched and you know when this happened. the streets were completely silent and the lead tank tried to go around him and then after a while that driver of the lead tank turned off his engine and so you didn't even hear anything there wasn't any noise and then the young men tried to climb out onto

the gun turret and. they would open up the turret the soldiers went open it up so he claimed climbed back down and then i remember the tank started up the engine again and the young man jumped in front again and i was just sure he was going to die but then suddenly i think about two guys maybe three guys from the sidelines there was a small crowd on the side of the street they they ran in and grabbed him and dragged him off and he melted away and i don't think anyone really knows who he was or what happened to him jan i heard you describe this moment as a magical moment and you described it as stepping to the heroes yes and that day in that moment that just a little bit more for us. it took me a while because the world's attention was focused on tank man but the man who tried to stop you had a simple shopping bag with him who knows who he was but later it occurred to me

that the second hero was the driver of that lead chain because he stopped he didn't run him over and he just waited and i'm sure he must have been punished because this created this dramatic moment and this photo that went around the world and it wasn't good for the chinese authorities and they knew who it was though i think that that driver of the lead tank is a real hero and he's never really been recognized is that the pictures from june the fourth one thousand eight hundred i would stored unary pictures and also when you took two look at them i know you've seen the many times before because bearing in mind that we have. who was watching for him about kony we had john who was right there i'm curious about what you wanted to ask john about these moments have a look festival. frank

i said our truck was proud he showed. i don't lie i'm told she. was i. was. i was was i was i was what stands out for me

is no weapons no weapons but i think tanks what did you want to toss john about that day. so then i buried witness as a journalist to violence and tragedy and the acts of bravery and courage how was that like. well we were shocked we didn't expect that level of violence and when i say we i mean the foreign correspondents based in beijing most of us were china experts we had devoted our careers to studying the language and studying the history but we had no idea how to cover war we didn't know what battlefield weapons were and so we were just shocked and stunned and i guess we had never dreamed that the china story would come to this

and i remember. just wondering what am i supposed to do and what is that going through the sky there was this red. well it and i thought it was a where and later on i realized it's a tracer bullet which is what you use to measure your range if you're a goner but only things i didn't know but you know the chinese people were equally naive and ready for the violence because a lot of students were in the square and they held up their coats they had coats even though it was june fourth because at night it was chilly so they had these big army coats and they would hold them up assuming they were rubber bullets and that a cult would stop them and so you can see later on i went to the universities and i saw these coaches you know displayed with all the blood over them and i just i just remember being horrified but also feeling like i have to be a journalist i can't let myself fall apart i have to take notes and

a lot of it i simply felt ok let me let me time how long the gunfire is going on let me see what corner of the city is coming from and i felt pretty helpless and and very upset and very angry at what was happening just shocked that people were being killed in front of me but anyway i was just like the chinese people they were shocked too if you could you saw the pictures of how angry they were and how they're attacking a tank with their bare hands or at most a wooden stick so it was i felt very much. in sync with all the people. and listening to that story from you know thirty years ago brings me to a couple comments were getting on you tube right now live this one is from nor saying who says does it still have any importance in the minds of young people in china under fusion ping another person but the patel says chinese know about the massacre their internet is highly censored so it was i'll give this to you because

particularly that last comment about the internet being highly censored something you know very well about. yeah i mean i think you know it's censorship infrastructure in china that should be constructed on the basis of technology based restrictions legal restrictions as well as strategies of social control and information about china. is blocked and policed very heavily and one of the interesting things about this forms of censorship is that it's also imposed outside of china's territorial borders we chad just one of the most popular social media platforms has about one hundred million registered users outside of china and so the sense of ship controls and it's a bit about tiananmen also transfer outside to affect the chinese diaspora. and it's one of the reasons that the china file you can see them on my laptop here

this new site asked people to share their stories of tannin men with a call for personal stories and we translate our team translated one of the responses they got here from someone on twitter who writes in one thousand nine hundred nine my father and his colleagues went to beijing for a meeting which was during the rise of the pro to mock resistance movement at the end of the meeting he took the initiative to stay and witness history shanghai urged him to return and he ignored it in june the tragedy took place in the country began to carry out mass arrests my father's organization dismissed him but secretly helped him get a student visa to japan police eventually ceases hotel records and when he returned to china he was placed under house arrest for being mentally ill for a long time so sharing that story on twitter because sharing it on way bo or other or sites in china it not wouldn't necessarily be allowed because of the words than they are the key words and there were no i'm hoping you can pick up on this story

of sharing what happened thirty years ago for a generation that may not know the details of it. what kind of course strong center of the whole wars in fact we have been invented in terms like may thirty fifth. two to go to force and then amend the word gentleman will always be directed somewhere else. if it's in chinese government clear intention to wipe the story from history but still every year when these states come there will be people try really hard to come around. and then to do something around the country so i guess that that. kind of hope and then the people in china not young students and young people in

china they are not like our generation they brought they were brought up in the internet generation they when they process information it's much more to form for individual expression. and then in and then they want that they want to keep that they want to be able to do that so feet and everything went and then and then they when they realize the whole china's information flow it's like a manger scene from that like there's no google there is no facebook there is no twitter and then the only way you do it is we call it climbing the wall which is a v.p.n. and like that then it has been declared illegal in china state so you can see the effort to try and if government trying to block inform manged in china and then we've got information there is no environment for people to to discuss to debate to exchange ideas so you can sometimes you can't you very frustrated and then you

almost feel like the chinese students chinese young people. they don't care but are deluded searching for truth and searching for. you know a certain core idea. in our genes and then there were always people try to learn a part but. i so i mean i want to build on that because you know what i want to striking things is that what he just referenced which is me thirty five right which is a term that's used to refer to the german thought message is now censored right any reference to it is sense and we chat and also on websites that i access while in china and you know i think the research that academic research actually demonstrates stead for young you says growing up in china in that kind of

environment of censorship even a few experiment was conducted maybe were given tools to circumvent the censorship and be a did not read take advantage of that to those tools to access sense that politically sensitive information unless they were given some incentive to do so or being encouraged to do so and so does that was to show that censorship controls in china really don't just stop information from reaching chinese individuals but it has also kind of create this culture of this and gate and with politics and cultural and social issues so it's interesting that you say that the disengagement because of course ours there is a segment of society that isn't gauged and they are trying to get around the censors will take a look here my laptop you can see a few of the instagram posts of people who are trying to get around those blocks and using very creative ways here it's a pack of cigarettes to represent the tanks that i showed you earlier in that if

another person shows the street where those tanks were but it's empty but it's still referencing that same time and there's another. and also posted on instagram this is sixty four censored pics but then in accordance with what you were saying amos we got a video comment from someone she's a reporter at the verge of new york city her name is shannon liao and she says that censorship is everywhere and your average person doesn't realize it so here's what she told the stream as a result of that censorship people are unable to comment on important social issues like looking for you know. and vaccines for and protesting sexual harassment and promoting going to zoom and these kinds of basic social issues are associated with political movements and government and stops it from happening from the first dispensary and so that people can you know build a political mass or a group that could rise up against them so john she says i point is i want to bring

you in because she says the point is to stop a political mass and i'm wondering in the days after we saw all such of violence on the streets what happened next and is there a reason why we didn't see a stronger movement that actually was a factual. well in the days right after the massacre there there was a real crackdown and people were very frightened and they were arresting people and the evening news went on for several hours. it was usually just an hour but it went on for several hours and most of it showed people being rounded up they had clearly been beaten out and so it was kind of a terror and people didn't feel at all. to do anything i wanted to just go back to this internet censorship and it's true that it's very hard with the in china but i think we shouldn't forget that so many chinese are

studying overseas now it's a huge. trend in china people are coming to europe. to north america at my university where i teach we have lots of chinese students and the point i want to make is. there is no incentive being given to them to check things out but they're starting to wonder and i think just being overseas this gym for for the thirtieth anniversary in tandem and square it's going to come up and you know people are always interested in things that they're not supposed to look at and because they know that they're not supposed to look at this i suspect a lot of the chinese students overseas outside of china are going to really look up the history of tiananmen square or find out what's happening there probably tuning into this this show right now and i think that will make

a difference because there are many of them will go back to china. and they will be influential because they will have had a western education there at least middle class are not rich here and they're going to be very important people in society and i think that the experience of being in the west without a censored internet. it's going to make a big difference in china john is even talking i've just been looking up the rolling stone they did a story set in years ago about the children of tiananmen square. i see you are one of the children and now i would say that you were one of the fathers of tiananmen square right now look at that young face you were part of that pro-democracy movement ain't china where is it right now. democracy we fought for democracy who fought for freedom and we have been deprived from all our freedom of being home to my parents. but. you

can say that i have been tossed into the world in one of the most free places i lived in for. knowing taiwan new flagship democracy. force the contras then you can we can learn things about china. we understand democracy and freedom much better and then that make us feel. even more. when you may even say about the direction it took the time. from force before to force massacre before nine hundred eighty nine student movement china. was moving to a more open or more three year environment we were pressing the government to feel to go faster in the same direction which is opening but then it took

a drastic turn into closing up you can see the skyscrapers in the high speed rail way though these things thinking this is a country that is opening up but in the matter of fact it is not china it's the crow censorship for information and then they have a very strong presence they control the police they spend more money. and in the internal security than their national defense budget which is already very scary the national defense budget is scaring to the neighbors of neighboring countries but then they spend more money was in impressing the dissent within china they have a they actually have a term call it we would move maintaining stability and they have a huge budget crisis thank you so much for sharing some of those members and john

as well and a most like getting us up to date with what's happening on social and how young people in china outside of china a sinking about the tandem and square massacre thank you so much for being part of the program we really appreciate it but we have this conversation being. hacked online and being conducted online i think people are learning and can see the comments in you tube with people who are seeing this for the first time. thank you very much for watching today's edition of the strange myself online act. on twitter . the boy .

and on welcome to al-jazeera life in my headquarters in doha with me as the parana also ahead sri lanka's president is calling on top security officials to step down as new details emerge about the suspects who carried out sunday's bombings. the first ever summit between north korea korea's leader kim jong un and russian president vladimir putin began for the city of that of bastar and britain says china's far away can be involved in the rollout of a five g. network despite concerns of the national security. three senior members of saddam's ruling military council. accused of a crackdown on protesters have offered to resign the announcement came after a meeting between the military leaders and a coalition of protest organizers and political parties the council says it's reached an agreement on most of the protesters demands.

we and the military transitional council would like to say together with the coalition of freedom and change forces there we are in this together in order to achieve the aspirations of the sudanese people and to build a prosperous future we are agreed on a number of main principles that is first and last we are partners and we will work together on disagreement we have to reach a common goal. about science and also going to set up a committee to iron out disagreements after talks broke down earlier in the week but there is still no word on the call for a meeting following the positive statement issued by the military council regarding our demands the meeting was pleasant and in the nation's best interest we expressed our gratitude for how the military protected civilians and we agreed on forming a committee to discuss various issues on forming a transitional phase and roles of all groups involved but there's still no word on

whether and how soon the military will hand over power to civilians and that's been the key demand of protesters who are planning a million person march on thursday and have warned of a general strike ahead of her as a sudanese academic and activist and he says the military rulers there to seize the opportunity to give protesters what they want this is that i saw or rather the show military hostile to a. change war with coalition of freedom to reach the ground. i do apologize we have lost that that from our guest handed to hossa let's move on because president has asked the defense secretary and the police chief to step down following sunday's attacks my city center prior intelligence about the

bombings wasn't shared with his office the death toll is now three hundred fifty nine with hundreds more wounded sixteen more people have been arrested overnight let's go to our correspondent on the way she is joining us live from the capital of colombo four days after the attack france and institutions trying to come together to move forward. that's right now the president is going to be holding an all party conference or rather i believe it has it was due to start. an hour about half an hour ago this comes just a day off there was a debate in parliament about the failure in security intelligence services they had a report at the received information warning about possible attacks on churches that information was not passed on or acted on. and the prime minister the preston and the state minister of defense have said that they had no perhaps that they had

no information about these possible attacks now instead the president has asked the defense secretary as well as the police chief to resign now and additionally he's also going to be holding a meeting with inter religious committee and this is important because in the early hours after the sunday's attack there were isolated incidents of muslim owned property being targeted and then on wednesday in the several hundreds of ahmadi muslims refugees from pakistan who had to flee their homes because that was several attacks on some of them and there were these attacks which is very small in number but it was enough to cause panic and confusion among. the community and of course religious leaders. extremely anxious but sunday's events don't turn into quite a religious conflict on this island in fact when we spoke to the archbishop of colombo yesterday he said that the muslim community should not be blamed they are

brothers as well the people the perpetrators who carried out the attacks on sunday do not have any religion on terror they are terrorists and we should not put any blame on the muslim community and as for the investigation sixteen more people arrested overnight and we're also seeing more c.c.t.v. footage from the east. some time in fact the very latest development that we've had that we've heard is that there has been a minor explosion in the town of that's just forty kilometers east of colombo where we are now and officials have confirmed that there were no injuries we are still waiting for confirmation whether this was a controlled explosion or a bomb went off now a controlled explosion is where bomb disposal units are called in to defuse a bomb or to detonate or to detonate a suspicious object even such as a motorbike because they're worried that that object may contain explosives down

several of these incidents have happened in the past and it shows just how extremely vigilant security forces are and that the north taking any chances don thank you very much for that louis with all the latest live and colombo thank you. the first ever summit between north korea's leader kim jong un and russian president vladimir putin has begun the city of blood of all stock person says comes visit will help understand how to reach a settlement on denuclearization of the korean peninsula the two are also expected to talk about bilateral trade let's get more on that step boston is joining us live from we will start about the i guess the big issue of. step we expected putin to make any progress on this. well if there's going to be any progress it's going to be baby steps basically it's stiff it's definitely the fairy first meeting between the two leaders in history

although they are neighbors of course they share a short border and also they have these long historic ties but it's the very first time these two men are meeting and at the moment they're still in a closed door private meeting for the last hour or so before they went into this meeting they had a few opening remarks put in basically said that he appreciates that kim jong un has opened this has has made this effort to have a dialogue with south korea and also to dialogue with the united states he also said that he hopes to find out through this may take what the role of russia can be in this conflict of course but in hopes to have some kind of mediation role after the talks and one or two months ago with donald trump and kim jong un have collapsed this is the first time put in a step again you can't offer much because of course putin is also bound by sanctions but he can make a plea for example to lower the sanctions not completely lift them but lower them

but of course something in return has to be given by kim jong un who also said that he appreciates that putin flew all over the country it's a few thousand kilometers to meet him here a flight he was stuck and what will can be hoping for substantially from this meeting step. well of course bilateral talks are also important they've been talking about trade both countries really are keen to open some trade but again they're bound by sanctions the allegation of what an interesting lee carries the head of the whale way in russia showing basically that that's the plan of president putin he wants to develop this eastern region of russia around flight he also got he wants to connect the railway from south korea north korea to russia but of course that again is only going to be ground work that

they can talk about they can do anything because of the sanctions step thank you very much for that now that step of the latest live and let us talk thank you. now iran says it will continue to sell its oil and has warned the u.s. of consequences if it tries to stop it iranian foreign minister mohammad says keeping the world's main oil shipping route that the strait of hormuz open as enron's on and trust the same bus lobby has more from tehran. the u.s. ramped up its pressure on iran earlier this week ending sanctions waivers that have for a few months allowed iran to sow oil to just eight countries all signs point to more u.s. sanctions targeting iran's oil dependent economy i do weekly cabinet meeting president hassan rouhani said iran remains open to dialogue but demanded an apology and a hole to pressure tactics conditions the united states is almost certainly unwilling to meet he also had this warning for the iranian people. not only do you

want to look at another america's not ready for talks at all what they're doing is meant to break the nation of iran america wants to answer to run again americans didn't learn their lesson from the top us incident. that was the failed mission thirty nine years ago to rescue american hostages from the u.s. embassy takeover into iran. a sandstorm led to a helicopter and a war plane colliding killing eight u.s. servicemen this hunk of metal is all that's left of the rotary mechanism of one of the helicopters that was meant to fly from the desert in the east of the country directly into the heart of the iranian capital and fly american hostages out on display at the old u.s. embassy now a museum it's become a part of iran's public relations campaign against the united states it was the only mission of its kind that saw american boots on iranian soil and rouhani is warning on the anniversary of the incident of the possibility of more american adventurism is not without its reasons the continued policy aimed at reducing

iran's oil sales to zero is a major economic and national security concern here and. some iranians compare america's anti iran messaging to the rhetoric that preceded the invasion of iraq in two thousand and three the sanctions regime is also reminiscent of iraq after the first gulf war in one nine hundred ninety one but supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei made it clear iranian oil will continue to flow despite american intimidation. little buddy can. we will explored as much oil as we need and want the enemy must know that this hostility won't remain without a response the nation of iran won't remain silent against us hostility the consensus in iran seems to be that war with america is unlikely as the cost would be too high and that there has been talking to one of disrupting the strait of hormuz which would wreak havoc on oil markets but for now it may just be saber rattling what i'm saying is it is in our interests are not our national security

interest to keep the persian gulf open to keep the strait of almost open but as long as sanctions continue.
