on the protesters to moms. just a while ago the fossils of the declaration of freedom a change finally published. lesion of what she should look like. three. hours of the main structures of the government in the documents of four pages twelve articles. that the paper has been handed to the military council just a bit. to stipulate it and it should spell the end of the two thousand and five constitution in sudan the articles related to public rights and individual freedoms one man will be transported into the transition put into the cell the club is constitution but. it also talks about holding council joint council of military and civilian as has been expected but no details about the

membership. forces how many of the military how many from the civilian court has not been clarified in this document it talks about an executive cabinet that should have the power to declare the state of emergency in consultation with the military council. this vision has been submitted as i said to the military council the expectation during the last few days was that it will be submitted during a round of talks between the two sides but that didn't happen the talks have been stalled for the third day now the two sides are now speaking to each other through mediators and we're waiting for the military council to announce its reaction to this. south sudan's war in parties are meeting to try to salvage a stalled peace deal aimed at ending the country's six year civil war the talks me held in ethiopia's capital addis ababa before a deadline to form a unity government runs out a peace deal was signed last september by president salva kiir and rebel leader rick machar as well as other rival factions. meanwhile south sudan has rejected un

allegations that it was behind the killing of two prominent government critics agree it is you born and dong somewhere you arc disappeared in kenya in twenty seventeen where they lived in exile the government has repeatedly denied responsibility for their disappearance amnesty international is now calling for an independent investigation into the alleged execution of a morgan has more commanders have a. the turin parties from south sudan are here in the capital addis ababa to try to resolve outstanding issues as they face potential delays in implementing the peace deal that was signed here if you think capital addis ababa in september last year now they're supposed to be forming a transitional government on the twelfth of may this year but it doesn't look like that's going to happen the joint monitoring and evaluation commission the body that is set up to wanted to the river to lies to peace deal is saying that there are a lot of delays specifically in terms of implementing the security arrangements now

asper the deal the touring sides are supposed to be bringing their armies together unifying them and training them ahead of the return of the rebel leader regular charges to his post as vice president now that's hasn't happened yet and it doesn't look like it's going to happen in the coming ten days there's also the issue of the number of states and the boundaries something that should be resolved ahead of the return of the rebel leader that is also not yet resolved so it doesn't look like that the transitional government that is supposed to be formed will happen and the opposition is already complaining they're saying that they want an extension of the period of the deadline they want another six months to ensure that security arrangements are in place so that their leader can assume his post. has not been getting good publicity a u.n. report released just a few days back says that the government is responsible for the diff disappearance and the killing execution of two activists who disappeared from nairobi on the twenty third and twenty fourth of january twenty seventh seen now the government has repeatedly denied knowing where these activists are and have always been repeating saying that if anybody is to be asked and question in terms of their

disappearance it should be the kenyan authorities but the un report says that the activist disappeared from kenya then appeared in south sudan specifically in the national security prison known as the blue house before they disappeared once again and were executed in a presidential compound in the southwest of town so the government is denying that it has any involvement in this saying that if anybody is to be held accountable it should be nairobi all this comes as the opposition party is demanding accountability and the formation of a hybrid court so a lot of issues to be resolved a lot of issues to be discussed with me the very hard to see how a transitional government will be formed in the coming two weeks. there's been another outbreak of cholera in mozambique a week after psycho and kenneth made landfall in the region at least forty one people have been killed by the powerful storm which is flattened communities in the north of the country aid has slowly begun arriving but thousands of people in remote remote areas still need help how much us a has more from mecca mia.

some trucks and managed to reach remote areas by roads but some areas can only be reached by the pins on the weather one of the united nations says hundreds of thousands of people are without shelter food and drinking water that eye of the storm was narrow but it was ferocious it took out everything in its path so those are the people that were targeting this food assistance that already gone out to nearly twenty seven thousand people so this operation is moving at a pace and scale but we need the international community to care we know this is a part of the world that often doesn't get attention it needs the world's attention and it needs the world to care i more rain is expected and that could burst already swollen rivers people living in areas at high risk of flooding have been urged to move to higher ground but some families say they have nowhere to go but just hope the worst of the with the has passed so they can begin rebuilding their lives. al-jazeera. mozambique. dresses and benigne have torched businesses held stones and

tata politician was arrested on monday accused of leading an illegal potus last year against a new post social media tax. the bail hearing in kampala two can unprecedented for hours he's lawyers argue that he wasn't going to flee the country and would abide by the bill toms i am glad that he has been granted bail. there are for security temporary freedom that you need sort of is a very exciting thing. because nobody desires. should be in a prison population. one followed the proceedings from prison by the league it's a new system introduced by the judiciary to increase efficiency. but he supporters say to us to prevent them from coming to court they also say the charge against disobeying a statutory duty and another pending teasin case. if you are.

the politics of this country this is not. what someone under. the treatment. by the regime has been the order of the day so they are following the script. he. told us she's just glad it's over for now he's due back in court in three weeks this has not happened the price of. our. police drove straight home to avoid. this is the road that leads to the prison where the wife is being hauled in the last hour or so we've seen people coming out to the street hoping. he's being escorted. all along the road is also very private.

u.s. attorney general william barr refusing to show up to testify he said he had a problem with the process that they wanted to take which was basically to have members of congress ask questions but allow one of the committee attorneys to sort of ask those follow up so would have made it a much tougher day of testimony for william barr there's a disagreement between the democrats and the republicans on the committee and in the white house over whether that sort of testimony in that sort of committee hearing would in fact be proper history will judge as to how we face this challenge we will all be held accountable in one way or the other and if he does not provide this committee with the information it demands respect it deserves to bars a moment of accountability come soon enough and i think what we're seeing from chairman adler is that he's incapable of holding power if he and his committee are capable of actually asking the attorney general questions themselves and need to staff that out it seems like

a pretty pathetic moment for the chairman of that committee and look we lost confidence in jerry nadler a long time ago but it's surprising that to find out that he's actually lost confidence in himself and his capability to do his job he can't and he's not capable of asking the attorney general questions maybe he should step down or resign and allow somebody else i mean this is high stakes for william barr because members of congress are already saying that he lied to congress lying to congress is a crime and it could get you sent to prison what they're arguing here is that when muller gave bar his summary bar then then just a couple days later put out a four page summary of what he thinks the report said he was asked about this in congressional testimony before the senate under oath and they said what are all these reports that muller was upset and are said i have no idea what you're talking about well it turns out that robert mueller the special counsel had sent a letter before that. saying exactly that he was upset with the way barr was handling the special counsel's probe was that a lie to congress well house speaker nancy pelosi has come out and said that he

lied to congress and it's a crime but you want to see how the committees decide to proceed next up though the big testimony we're waiting to see is if the democrats can get robert muller this former special counsel before them they say they want to hear directly from the man who invested that gated the president as whether the president of the united states committed crimes. americans and naturalized cubans who once owned properties in cuba that were seized by fidel castro may now seek damages for their losses their claims total more than eight billion dollars and could cause international turmoil the lawsuits were authorized by the trumpet ministration often historic change in u.s. policy on you sure castro has more from washington. american cruise ships docked in the port of havana are a sign of how far the business relationship between the u.s. and cuba has come in a few short years the ships arrived in twenty sixteen after president barack obama

a democracy but it is not as i said before there were for their own agenda by eleven in the morning just twenty seven people had come to this polling station in richmond the main market town in this part of yorkshire very strongly what came across to me was that the felt that the m.p.'s didn't want to leave the european union and they and they do and they do. and that it was apply for is not to actually leave so it's a revolt against politics in that sense it is this in miniature is the story of these elections people unable to separate local issues from the gigantic mess the bricks it has become this is just one of the chilling effects of the disaster of breck's its people being so disgusted that they are now refusing to participate in the democratic process at the same time the government cannot produce a list of programme to present to the queen because they don't know what to put in

its and they still don't know if the u.k. is going to participate in european elections which are exactly three weeks away in short breaks it has put the whole of british politics in sue suspended animation england is now a peculiar place where the public is heavily politicized yet is starting to reject traditional parties out rights it suddenly presents a major problem when people question the point of voting in what's supposed to be a democracy largely al-jazeera richmond in yorkshire. around forty members of libya's parliament to support the country's un backed or un recognised government have spoken out against a warlord holy for have to comments came during a meeting in tripoli i had has more. more than forty parliament members who are originally part of the. house of representatives convened in the libyan capital tripoli to condemn the military attack by have to his forces on the

decision making. driven home when it was made clear the imposition of oil sanctions against iran was done in coordination with aleve but other stuff about the details of what the site is in the emery's have agreed to but i've had conversations the president conversations with these countries and there they have committed to making sure that there is a sufficient supply in the markets. confirmation of saudi coordination came just days after president trump signaled a major policy reversal in libya in an obvious nod to riyadh expressing u.s. support for the saudi backed warlord fighting the internationally recognized government in tripoli the announcement makes clear that saudi arabia is now a fulcrum of the united states foreign policy this despite the fact that congress has held saudi arabia responsible for the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi

as well as for the deaths in the ongoing war in yemen even senior republican leaders have said until these situations are resolved responsibility for the murder of khashoggi is assigned it simply cannot be business as usual the white house simply ignores this position a congressional resolution condemning saudi arabia's actions in yemen the subject of presidential veto. in president trump size it seems the relationship with riyadh more important than that with congress mike hanna al-jazeera washington. opec says she general back india was in terror on thursday to attend an oil and gas conference as those waivers on iranian oil sales came into effect back in dos said maintaining stability in the global oil market was better for everyone even the united states send us ravi has more from tehran. as iran comes under more pressure
