on several roads near the city but the opposition denied of such an agreement had been reached. it came shortly after the third round of talks that concluded. on monday the two sides agreed on writing a constitutional declaration that will organize the work of three transitional government structures a joint civilian military sovereign council a cabinet of technocrats and the transition of power meant. what all the details are still being discussed including the number of seats in the sovereign council how many members from each side and how long the transition should last before a general election can be held. very close to reaching an overall solution that will make everybody happy. to get the country out of this crisis we're still in negotiations to define powers in specialized roles so they can act as a base for us to define the different levels of representation in the government. the proposal will be submitted within the next twenty four hours which will

identify the power and relation between the transitional bodies in the different transitional institutions our city and will continue till our goals of the revolution for a civil transitional authority with all its executive powers is executed nothing will discourage us peaceful resistance will continue. more than two weeks since the fall of the regime of bashir the crowd at the sitting in front of the army headquarters. the man think a speedy and from transfer of power to a civilian government. the city has turned into an open exposition ground for labor unions social movements comfortable groups professional and artistic associations young painters artwork on a mural intended to gain a place on the guinness book of records. because. we wanted to create a list of one million signatures of protesters then we decided to decorate it with

paintings that represent and celebrate the revolution we will be three thousand meters long and will go around the army headquarters as that's the space occupied by the city. that the decay sion with which these artists work is matched only by the unabated vigor of this crowd that's been braving the summer heat for weeks refusing to go home until a real change is achieved. the suspected leader of iso has appeared in a video for the first time in five years. talks about the battle in syria which ended in march at the end an audio message is added mentioning the attacks in sri lanka al jazeera cannot confirm the authenticity of the video or where it was filmed char strafford has more from baghdad. certainly according to isis media when this video proves that al baghdadi is still alive and according to analysts that have seen it shows that he is trying to take credit for various

terror attacks that have happened in the middle east and around the world in recent times analysts also saying that it shows he could well be on some sort of recruitment drive he focuses very much on praising eisel fighters that try to defend what was described as the last on klav on the syrian side of the iraqi border eisel being defeated in march and very interestingly around thirty minutes into the video after it finishes an oreo recording which i saw media wing says is al baghdadi speaking you can hear him taking credit for those attacks as a rickety tax we saw in sri lanka on easter sunday in which two hundred fifty people and hundreds of others two hundred fifty people killed and hundreds of others were injured baghdadi saying that those attacks were in revenge for isis defeats in part

a good news and let's not forget that i saw once control the territory across iraq and syria roughly the size of jordan it's fair to say that they have suffered a huge territorial defeat in their endeavors in this region but certainly this video you could say shows that the ideological battle being led by this man is very much still on and it is fair to say that analysts intelligence services and governments around the world will be looking very closely at this video to try and get some sort of idea where baghdadi is because of course the u.s. has. a reward for his capture dead or alive of twenty five million dollars so if indeed. about diabetes for huge significance considering we haven't seen him now for almost five years only a bloom is

a professor of communication at georgia state university and researches ice was propaganda she joins us via skype now from south bend indiana talk more about this thanks for being with us thank you for having me so how significant is the release of this video of after five years then why why now it's really significant partly because the united states has on several occasions claimed that he's dead and so i think the fact that we see that he's not dead and he looks relatively healthy he looks well fed it doesn't look like he's been stuck in a cave or in a hole for any long period of time but i think one of the purposes of the video is to try to instill a sense of hopefulness and boost the morale of all of the isis not just current isis people but also there were crews it is definitely intended to project power that they have lost with the loss of the territorial caliphate they can still

project the ability to claim the responsibility for attacks ninety attacks that he claimed in over eight countries and i would suggest from what you're saying that that he is a figure who who still wields a great deal of influence within eisel because it was reported that there were there were power struggles within the group. i think also the way that the the shah is set up you know it's a he's holding court he's looking over the paperwork he's having counsel with other people it is definitely tended to convey this idea that he's in charge and that he's fully aware of what's going on as well as all the current events for example mentioning the israeli elections or what's happening in sudan. so how how is eisel structured at this point then i mean what what sort of a leader is back that is essentially just a figurehead i mean how what's known about how what sort of influence he has in

their day to day operations. we may not know specifically what kind of structure is at play hartley if you remember correctly from about about an bin ladin intil about a god and the release of the bin laden documents we were under the impression that bin laden was only a figurehead and that he wasn't managing the day to day activities and yet when those papers were finally captured and made available for analysts we saw that he really was keeping track of what was going on sending people in but i think the difference here is that by claiming these ninety eight times that he is not making the distinction between attacks that are inspired versus those that have been directed so i think that in terms of his actual ability to control day to day operations that's limited but he certainly able to inspire ideologically and it's

one of the reasons that he mentions caught or sent fastness many many times in the video he's trying to instill a sense of steadfastness and resistance at the same time because he's mentioning so many of the foreign fighters who died but whose either he talks about a daily or i want us out for non-si he's trying to inspire more foreign fighters that their deaths will not be for nothing so that i think that your presenter is correct it is very well might be a recruitment video or at least an attempt to revitalize the troops good to get your analysis thanks for being with us thank you very much for having me hasn't. there's been a surge in cholera cases in war torn yemen this year the u.n. has asked for four billion dollars in emergency aid but only a small portion and it's been received the two countries fighting in yemen's war alongside the government have also pledged funds but saudi arabia and the u.a.e.

have delivered only part of it our diplomatic efforts in chains base reforms. yemen remains the most difficult humanitarian situation on earth and things are getting worse not better cholera cases are on the rise this year so far about a quarter of a million new cases more than double the number in the same period of twenty eighteen and despite the un's repeated calls for funding only a small proportion of the four billion dollars for urgent humanitarian aid has been received in previous years the top donors have been the two main members of the coalition that continues to bomb the controlled areas saudi arabia and the united arab emirates they have both pledged money again but this time they're not giving it all at once instead they're paying in installments effectively drip feeding their farmers in the past they've given you big upfront payments my understanding

now is they're giving you money but in smaller amount well the king of saudi arabia and me. have pledged between one point five billion dollars for us for this year and my message to them and everyone else is it will be really helpful if money could be paid as soon as possible and that's all he wanted to say this remains an extremely sensitive issue for the u.n. of course yemen's humanitarian crisis won't be solved until there's a political agreement a shaky cease fire holds in the key port city where data but a deal done at the end of last year to reposition forces there has still not come into effect and the wider. it's a cool settlement seems a long way off james out of the united nations all right we've got plenty more ahead on this news libya's tripoli based government calls in reinforcements as war police advances on the capital. and we visit the makeshift barfi in mexico

from the white house to fire the special counsel if you were ordered today to fire mr mohler what would you do so i've explained previously i would follow the regulation if there were good cause i would act if there were no good cause i would not and you've seen no good cause so far correct rosenstein wrote the memorandum that was used as justification for the dismissal of f.b.i. director james comey. and then with the recoup all of then attorney general jeff sessions he took over the supervision of the special counsel investigation and fuelled by illegal leaks standing behind the new attorney general when william barr preempted the release of the miller report with what many in congress believed was a pro trump interpretation rosenstein saw some humor in it wes we big topic of discussion was what were you thinking when you stood behind your bar

at that press conference. with a deadhead expression. there sure is i was thinking my job is to stand here with a deadhead expression. the miller report mentioned that president trump considered firing rosenstein on several occasions but there was no sign of acrimony in his resignation letter rosenstein praising the president's personal charm and his policies a rare example of a member of the administration allowed to resign on his own terms rather than be summarily dismissed in a tweet mike hanna al-jazeera washington. there's been heavy fighting in southern tripoli as forces loyal to walter liefer have to keep up their attack on the libyan capital as fighters have advanced and taken control of areas near the airport tripoli based government recognized by the united nations says it is bringing in reinforcements to repel the attacks that then what head has more

weapons and its role as a state supporter of terrorism and by iran's own estimates the end of these waivers will have an even more significant effect i'm touched that the raif is worried that our allies are sometimes impatient with us on this point but as i say we've made clear our objective is the elimination of iran's nuclear program making sure its ballistic missile program is under control the u.s. says that since it quit the iran nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions a year ago terror on has lost some ten billion dollars in revenues. that's money the white house says it had to be spent on groups including hezbollah hamas and who the fighters in yemen u.s. officials argue saudi arabia and the united arab emirates are prepared to replace the estimated one million barrels per day that iran provides to the global market the saudis say not so fast inventories actually are continuing to rise

despite what's happening in venezuela despite the tightening sanctions. on iran so i don't see the need to do anything. anything immediately what's more china which is currently iran's biggest oil customer is likely to undercut washington's plans to enforce a global boycott and they have set up a mechanisms through which they can buy chinese oil without going to the u.s. banking system and they could perhaps do this to some chinese banks that are already under sanctions anyway so how much bad is it how much force is a kind of get the u.s. government says it will do all it can to limit what it calls iran's malign influence in global affairs but analysts say the oil economy is a global one and that even a country as powerful as the u.s. can't manipulate it for you. old foreign policy goals roslyn jordan al-jazeera washington.

celebrations are over and now the hard work begins for spain's socialist party that won the election but lacks the votes to govern on it so the party of prime minister pedro sanchez will need to build a coalition that could take but that could take weeks and there's no guarantee of success when you go has more from madrid. now that the elections are over of course the person now comes upon the socialist try and formulate a way of governing they say they want to go into a minority government they may have to consider going into coalition with various political parties nominally one of the center right citizens party or perhaps a coalition of hard left and regional parties that's right get tricky for them because there will be some pro quo in exchange for this and that may not necessarily be the most popular option however one of the socialist ministers him out on monday saying that they needed to have dialogue seeing as the form of policy

the policies of former government didn't seem to work before and only increase the hostility between madrid and barcelona however also there is that presence of the far right folks party now in government they only have twenty four seats out of three hundred fifty however they could be big disruptors and could drive debates along issues of national unity and regional powers for the future of spain's semi autonomous catalan region was one of the big issues in the election but the separatist parties gained just forty percent of the votes there showing deep divisions over independence remain john hart has more from bosler. delight on the faces of pro independence supporters in barcelona on sunday night this is the far right party who tamed. and spain socialists possibly needing to look here for help in forming a government in fact the socialist party did rather well in catalonia its support

drawn from workers who moved to the region in the sixty's and seventy's living in suburban pockets known as the red belt around barcelona they were part of an older generation of leftwing resistance during the franco era who don't believe that nationalism is the answer to anything in modern day spain get their beer from that that's not bad but rather about how it's a backwards moral thing for all workers and barriers for business and for us it's always the workers who suffer a modest business will just go elsewhere. about it might cooperation between the socialists and moderate separatists at the national level helped bridge divides in catalonia is. why there was a lot of within that i don't know what are the if none of them are going to be in their positions then they can't reach agreement then we can live together just like we always have at respecting one another in line with the law and the constitution

. after the events of october two thousand and seventeen the unilateral referendum and declaration of independence forcefully suppressed by the right wing government in madrid it's easy to forget that catalonia is politically multifaceted clearly there's no question of the independence parties renouncing the goal of independence but is there at least a chance now with better relations with madrid yeah like we're likely to move towards this you know you are no solutions can be yet because the positions are still too far apart to find common ground frankly mean we're still there is dale of chemical recession that it's in play would hopefully bring about it come on understanding up to see question in the solution at the long dialogue that of course there hasn't been for some time exactly and a day like that has been broken for a long time and it has made to see to it. way worse than it was because there is of course the still potentially explosive issue of jailed private dependents leaders twelve of them on trial in madrid charged with rebellion and sedition their fate

could yet reignite separatist passions for a majority of voters here and across spain there is reason to be happy with the result not quite the victory for the far right that many had feared and spain remains a beacon of social democracy in europe and here in catalonia at least the possibility of cooperation over confrontation jonah how al-jazeera. a buying has held its first annual shareholders meeting since two of its seven three six seven three seven max jets crashed within five months killing nearly three hundred fifty people the company hopes to reintroduce the model with improvements next month it says the plane it will be one of the safest to fly john hendrick reports after two fatal crashes boeing has embattled chief executive is focused on correcting the company's trajectory at the first shareholder meeting since those

must have been difficult for you i will never forget his words. the eighty three year old says meeting the imperial couple in an evacuation center gave him the strength to rebuild his life akihito his compassionate response to the disaster became one of the defining moments of his reign say for those affected by this terrible tragedy i feel deeply pain. akihito succeeded his father in one nine hundred eighty nine and spent much of his reign trying to address the legacy of japan's actions in world war two but the emperor holds no political power and he's stepping down as the prime minister wants to revise japan's pacifist constitution to allow for a military instead of what it calls a self-defense force it's also believed that the emperor is adults with the government over the very future of his family the imperial family is generally regarded as fairly liberal but it's still a male dominated institution only men from the male line of the family can become

emperor and the family has no power to change that it has to come from the government. wants not all he told becomes emperor there are only three men left in line one of them is eighty three. of the donkey this time they have only been female emperors from a male line in the past and there has never been a female line emperor we should talk about this it may mean changing tradition but we have to be flexible and reflect modern day society at fifty nine no he too is considered one of the new breed of royals and may relate to a different generation some of whom question the relevance of the imperial family the japanese such as dice the relevance is very personal from time to time. he proudly with the same clothing he wore when he met the emperor whom. i have been treasuring this cardigan whenever something happens look at the cardigan. akihito

retires at a time when the imperial family's popularity is high according to opinion polls but the transition will raise more questions about the family's future and whether more change will come to ensure it survives wayne hay al jazeera tokyo. japan and korea editor with the east asia foreman a research fellow at the australian national university joins us now to talk more about this from canberra thanks very much for being with us thank you having me so let me ask you first off then about. about this particular emperor he has i mean we mentioned there at the top that this is the oldest monarchy in the world more than two thousand years old but he has set about. modernizing it in a number of ways hasn't he i mean i mean is it how are how is that i was he viewed in history. yes emperor akihito will definitely be remembered as.

the emperor of the people and he modernized the emperor in this sort of imperial institution in a number of ways braving with many traditions one way he did that was he does ition himself close to the people so whereas emperors were previously considered to be above the clouds and his he does father had had this fostering out his god status but emperor akihito was the first one to grow out his whole range of the field the role of for that in the post-war constitution as the symbol of the state and the unity of the people and in order to be closer to that he will like us we've seen before it tirelessly traveled around to power consult dictums of natural disasters and won over the hearts of the japanese people but getting down it's neither you know back to asian shelters with victims he also broke with tradition in a way by becoming so cheap emissary of japan's. reconciliation process

you know expressing his remorse and regret to victims of japanese wartime aggression and how do you see the end for his place in japanese society and i'm talking more about the institution here our does it is it still relevant in a modern japan yeah and that the emperor is still highly revered the emperor is emperor akihito has very high. very popular with people like opinion polls will show that they consider the emperor to be close to the people and to have fulfilled his constitutional role as a symbol of the unity of the people so these extremely popular amongst the kind of elections. so talking about his son then who will he succeed him the following day narrow he to well how much do we know about him what does he bring. what does he

bring to this so now he dog is. just overseas educated emperor when they sense the chrysanthemum throne to more. educated oxford and now he does what must always a moment diplomat and also abbott and. so they uniquely positioned. to help position japan you know to promote a more internationally minded japan that's open to the world and not only does it have a longstanding interest in our water related environmental issues and sustainable development that is time in oxford. so he may be. promoting you know what role to plant him in doing this in a more international way. then as we've also heard there's a question of the future succession it remains to be seen whether he would try to

influence this process behind the scenes or not but of course given the constitutional restraints he could not try and influence the change but change the law to allow something that secession in any explicit public way good to talk to ben and johnny i think that from canberra thank you now as we lankans trying to get their lives back to normal following the easter sunday bombings they're having to adjust to living under an increased security presence there's restrictions now on moving around the capital and police are conducting on the spot searches you know fernandez reports from colombia. 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 newly stock. security remains tight after last week's coordinated bombing
