that the coalition wanted it to be a civilian a transitional government with military representation and they wanted eight civilians and seven military presentations and that transitional government. also seemed to be putting some kind of blame on the opposition coalition he said that they reached a certain point of agreement during their last talks on saturday and that. today on monday morning when they started their talks with the coalition the coalition presented a different idea something they were not expecting which is why they will be going back to to to their respective members we consult and then convene again two more regarding the presentation that was offered by the coalition of the declaration of freedom and change now that presentation of course from what we understand is known as the declaration of the constitution which is supposed to set the blueprint for the transitional period the coalition apparently have presented some kind of document that shows that they want a legislative assembly an executive council and a presidential council that should be independent and that the military could and that that constitutional document would be the one that would set the relationship

between the military council and the transitional government which was a big point of differences between the two sides they've always insisted the opposition always insisted that they wanted an independent transitional period and the military always insisted that it should have sovereign authority and they will be convening again to want to talk more about it but at the moment it doesn't look like they've gotten very far with their agreement and where does this leave the protesters in the citizens that they've been carrying out i mean is this like this too to cause friction with the military. at the moment people are saying that they're not leaving the city in front of the army headquarters thousands of been arriving today or been arriving from different parts of the states like the western region of darfur and the northern parts of the country they're saying that they're coming here to reinforce the protesters the thousands of protesters who have been here for the for for four weeks now effectively saying that they want to basically wait until the military tells them that you know we've handed over power to a civilian government and the. for the coalition also to make that announcement so

people are saying that unless they hear that there's a civilian government in place that the coalition has accepted what the military council is offering and that there will be accountability they will not be leaving the city in front of the army headquarters there and people just a final thought before you go we had reports earlier that the minister council has frozen the bank accounts of the official trade unions what's the thinking behind that move. the military council has always been stressing that it wants to get rid of any elements or traces from the former regime now most of the unions and federation that were established over the past thirty years were loyal to to the to the former president's ruling party the national congress party and to the government so the military council has explained this in by saying that they want to create a new independent titration new independent unions and they also want to audit the accounts of the former federations they want that content they suspended to and they want to see how they were created how was their money spent where was the source of income these are all things that this thing is part of the reform and

accountability that they had promised the people so the explanation they're giving is that they believe that these unions had to be suspended their accounts had to be suspended so that they can basically gives give some kind of accountability so that they can start a new unions that are independent from the government or to have a morgan there in khartoum heba thank you. oh let's turn now to some of the day's other news and spain's governing socialists have picked up the most seats in sunday's elections but with no new all the votes counted it looks like they won't have enough for an outright majority for the first time a far right party is to enter parliament some of the are reports now from madrid. a new day for spanish politics but no certainty over what kind of government will come out of sunday's election spaniards may have turned out in force to vote in one of the most divisive elections but it was the socialists who came out on top but i mean i think it's a good result and honestly i didn't expected i thought the right wing was going to win here and couldn't get them started i think the result they almost have a stable majority and this can be good. all eyes are now on which direction the

socialist leader pedro sanchez will take so far they have said they would attempt to form a minority government but it's still early days so what happens next well for a start there are further elections to contest local ones in this country and the european elections that are sanches might be playing his cards close to his chest he wants to try to win their gains there. you there is the option of going into a coalition a guaranteed majority could be made by partnering with the center right citizens party but it is an unpopular option for the socialists and their followers joining with a hard left put their most would avoid that scenario but then they would need to make deals with catalan independent ists another unpopular choice it's really awkward this problem for them they have to do a lot of of the nation to the to their followers to their members the fact of they are that they are negotiating with the caseloads so they will try they will try to

avoid violence the socialists may have some time but no one is expecting a quick results from this historic election but it's unclear whether the governing party can overcome difficulties spain has had problems with coalitions in the past and it's unclear whether the governing party can overcome the difficulties to create a stable and effective government sonia able al-jazeera madrid. now turkey says a man held on suspicion of spying for the united arab emirates has killed himself istanbul's prosecutor says he m. hassan's body was found in still very prison he was charged alongside another suspect earlier this month they were accused of monitoring arab citizens on behalf of the un when earlier we spoke to met chen ecclesia managing editor deniz somehow that's an english language news site he says the death further complicates the diplomatic tensions between turkey and the u.a.e. i think it's significant for the for the fact that to even now you know will not be

able to gather further information. on one on their motivations or or what sort of. aimed a hand in turkey in terms of political issues i think it's also important because the you we will you know will try to use this against turkey based on its already existing rivalry is toadies if you're a living this is not something that will serve this is this is not an incident that will really serve to try to use interests of our we did find don't it right after they were arrested that. these two individuals were at work to build some sort of an anti to ease structure this is some of the information that we received. from our sources. there's been heavy fighting in southern tripoli as forces loyal to the warlord who leave for have to keep up their attacks on the

libyan capital after his fighters have advanced and taken control of areas near the international airport the tripoli based government recognized by the united nations says it's bringing in reinforcements to repel the attack and a call made by donald trump earlier this month after offering support as angered some members of the president's own party republican senator lindsey graham described it as unnerving. i don't know what the phone call hafter was about but it had an unnerving effect on the ground i was in tunisia and the president had called haftorah general from the east of libya this moving on tripoli and saying thank you for helping with isis and helped are good for depth phone call seems to be perceived in the region as we're picking. mean or turkey's president is backing libya's u.n. recognize government in its fight against the wall orderly to have to. describe it have to ask advance on tripoli as a plot against the libyan people he says turkey will support the tripoli based government as an attempt to drive have to ask fighters out the use of it is an

international security and political analyst he's playing down the impact turkey support will have on the fighting. i believe that is in case the united nations government government government of national accord wants their help from the turkey militarily there is not up that turkey will support military goals at the same time. from my perspective for. analyzing the situation in libya. being backed by the rich countries such as the gulf countries does not mean that they hundred will bring you the guarantee of success and victory because the moral striation on the ground is very open the government is united nations supervise government so we thought taking into consideration who's backing the rebellion heidi for half the turkey problem the perspective of principal of the turkish

foreign policy we keep on supporting the. government of national accord i can see now sri lanka has a new defense minister appointment as part of the government's overhaul of the intelligence and security services the president has also appointed a new acting police chief but the current chief has refused to step down he's been accused of failing to act on warnings that suicide bombers could target churches but it's just over a week since the easter sunday bombings life is slowly returning to normal people in the capital colombo ventured out and with increased security around the country al jazeera is an elf amanda's reports. waiting for business these vegetable sellers in a columbus suburb are hoping things will return to normal soon lot of any of them but i love it when they mean that there's no one on the road we're usually here to late night and finish our goods but today we have only brought less than one tenth of our newest talk. security remains tight after last week's coordinated bombing

stations and subject. hello i'm come on santa maria and this is counting the calls on al-jazeera your weekly look at the world of business and economics this week oil united states has declared zero tolerance of anyone buying iranian oil so as the u.s. slams the brakes on oil exports from the islamic republic we'll look at the spillover effect for the global economy also this week the secret world of high risk money lending has been a boom in loans to poor countries in the past decade we'll see how the people there

could be at risk in our case study from mozambique plus unbreakable glass mysteriously shattered and a sting operation to capture spy that's how competitive the world of mobile communications has become the vested interests and players jockey for control. so we're looking at the oil markets this week one of those economic factors which affects almost everywhere in the world regardless of the politics behind it and right now the politics are all about iran the united states has demanded all countries stop buying iranian oil or they will face sanctions now ironic sport slightly more than a million barrels a day with the majority going to china india south korea japan and turkey and some of those customers especially china and turkey not happy more on the global impact in a moment after this report from roslyn jordan in 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 says washington to punish the han for what it calls the government's quote aligned ways the trumpet ministration 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 they are 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 nice 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. why did arab emirates and not other oil producing

nations key to making the iranian parco work i think that actually feeds into this narrative of this very close relationship that the president trump has with the saudi royal family and of course the united states is again this is the president who 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 and 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 russell and jordan al-jazeera the state department so let's examine the economics of all this because supply and demand is key to understanding oil's spillover effect for the global economy now opec in the big produces they always

want the prices to stay just that sweet spot high enough to keep them in business low enough to keep the demand taking over and at the moment the trade suggests iran's customers will be able to bridge any supply gap the united states is also reassured the market yes any gap in global oil production will be well supplied saudi arabia for its part says it won't raise oil output immediately actually there's no pick deal with russia in place to cut production. but that could be revised as soon as june when the cartel meets but there are supply constraints as well places like venezuela and libya of course due to internal conflicts iran has threatened as it often does to block the strait of hormuz the major oil shipping route in the gulf the upshot of all this is that brant crude the global oil benchmark is up around forty percent since november so if supply fears do start to reemerge that could send oil prices even higher we're going to talk about this all with jamila joining us from kuala lumpur he is the global head of currency strategy

and market research at f x t m market it's great to have you with us jimi so all these countries the likes of china south korea japan and turkey they are going to have to do without iranian oil at least for the foreseeable future the united states says don't worry at this plenty of oil around the place do you agree with that. well there certainly is a lot of different openers but what i would do is liken this to a different scenario let's say iran is tottenham hotspur and the football team is now losses best striker hurricane the best strike for a rainy an economy and for its supply it's actually oil so all of these other countries involved china india the way it was total to eight different nations they are now the oil supply from iran when these waivers expire at the beginning of may now there is enough oil i was sway places like russia u.a.e. united arab emirates saudi arabia they can supply that oil however it will take

some time and this is why investors have priced in a higher oil valuation has touches highest level of two thousand and nine scene and it does look like the rally in the oil markets will continue a bit of it yet and what about the effect on iran we already know the u.s. sanctions being in place this is exactly what the slowly recovering iranian economy won't need so you turn the taps off on the oil market the iranian economy will suffer since those sanctions economic sanctions back in place in may two thousand and eight seen we've seen the iranian crumble like a biscuits inflation has rocketed sky high there's already pressures on the iranian economy that is going to see a recession of at least four percent according to the i.m.f. in two thousand and nine saying now that it has been confirmed that these sanctions on iranian spece exploit oil will be turned off as of next month we expect this

recession to extend even further looking at recession beyond four percent the iranian realit will remain under pressure and it will also increase those are very any an inflationary pressures which is very bad news indeed for the local consumers on the streets right so the iranians will rightly you would say feel aggrieved about the situation that they find themselves in who is or who might. and up for them allies wise people who are willing to take on the united states in some way shape or form and say we will continue to do our business was the nation that is known to import the most oil from iran is china so you would look at the side of china to whatever it could potentially stand out for a run in the situation but i don't see this happening for this reason u.s. and china trade tensions and those trade negotiations have been going on in the background now for most of a year now you do not have states and china very close to a new trade agreement if you checked the narrative from both sides of the chinese authorities and the united states authorities and fesses have become optimistic

that a trade agreement is close which is extremely good news for the global economy if that was a standing up for a run and this example hypothetically this would put those that progress on the back burner so that for this reason i do not think that will be somebody that stands up it's probably going to be accepted in my opinion that those produces all those imports of oil will look for oil i was swear let me throw another country into the mix and that is turkey not so much in the sense of we've been talking about standing up for iran but the effect on to ease well an economy that has struggled itself its currency has been struggling in the last well year old really . what about the effect on to this is extremely bad news for the turkish economy for its markets and for its currency it means that turkey will now need to look for another supplier of oil at a time where its financial conditions and not grades probably in my opinion we will

see weakness in the turkish lira butts there's of a currencies and economists out there that will benefit from this news i will mention russia and the russian ruble russia's one of the biggest producers of oil it can actually supply this gap and the russian ruble will strengthen on oil prices he started with a football analogy something which a lot of people can understand i didn't want to bring this all back to something people will. understand because we've talked a lot about separate economies but people all over the world when they think about hiero prices they think about high fuel prices they think about taxes on aviation industry all these sorts of things are these things which people need to keep an eye on or we sort of gotten used to things being just that bit higher when it comes to inconsistency the verbal narrative and the social media narrative in particular that comes from president trump he wants to lower oil prices however this news actually strengthen sort of prices because of the tight oil markets because the iranian oil supply has been cuts now everybody knows and as of where of the need

for oil prices to move lower the global economy struggling and it's facing headwinds of six thousand once again there is a multitude of different external challenges so the longer some picture is actually that oil prices should come back and sullen mansome but not so it is known and confirmed well this cut in supply from iranian oil being sent off will be filled so this is why over the longer term picture many still remain negative on oil prices which is why our everyday viewers everyday consumers do not have to worry too much but over the net some some chip political risk has been priced to back in soil this is why over prices are rally and they fit the highest level of two thousand and nine seen but it's still a dramatic distance away from what oil prices were a couple of years ago so no need to worry no it's a panic bumps we do need to monitor the day to day news narrative around oil prices and specifically what happens next door is what happens next isn't it jim
