creatures of the seed 5 on her day death and you know i understand from live from a show that's come my way that there have been more breaches by the internationally recognized government allied forces because it's difficult to call them their own forces. then there have been by those who think for the transfer to to other plants to to other. to other parts of the. of the country i mean i'm not sure where you could say to transfer fighting there's certainly been very serious renewed fighting particularly in the area around. and this is partly connected with the who feeds them who fear to fifty's but it's also there's also a lot of internal debate and problems and possibly serious issues going on within coalition forces that are around dallas so the complicate the situation there is very complicated and may be best left out of this conversation. but yes there has
12:01 am
been more fighting in other areas clearly it's been an advantage for the who things to get for the from the away from this and i think this could have been in anticipation of their of their actual withdrawal because they have been seriously fearing that the busy internationally recognized government and coalition forces would immediately attack and renew their offensive on her day that if a lady withdraw ok and i'm going to have to interrupt you there apologize because i suspect we're just about to lose the satellite but thank you so much for your analysis of our ongoing crisis we appreciate your time. to venezuela where opposition supporters ago throwing for a protest in the capital caracas we have live pictures from there. the man who's mounted a challenge to president nicolas maduro who's leadership has called these nationwide demonstrations now on wednesday his deputy a man called ago zambrano was arrested and sent to military prison for taking part

12:04 am
medicine people have to survive every day in an enormous economic crisis the other problem that we're seeing is that we know through opposition sources is that they're afraid of asking people to march to work military bases to the areas within cut back of their mostly controlled by the government because of the enormous police brutality that we have seen here in the past week the last week alone 5 people lost their lives 3 of them were. children so it away most of the oppositions are saying that right now they want to calm things down some see what their next step is going to be let's not forget that way though in several interviews has said that he did not discount the possibility of requesting a military intervention to the united states to raise or think you. lots more still to come for you here in the news hour including pushed to the brink the people of sudan continue to toil under economic hardship under the new military rulers. and will speak to the families of those involved in sri lanka's easter sunday attacks that killed more than 250 people also ahead defending n.b.a.

12:06 am
expecting presidents who are closer to come and speak here as well in his capacity as outgoing president but of course expecting to get sworn in again as south africa's next president in about 2 weeks from now the a.n.c. came away with just over 57 percent of the vote that's the 1st time that they've had on the 60 percent it's the worst or the lowest majority they've ever had and still some people will see it as somewhat of a turnaround or a victory for rahm opposer is according to the results of 2016 municipal elections that was the a.n.c. the lowest point that it's ever had and that was towards the end of the 9 year old of president jacob zuma a series of corruption scandals blighted the a.n.c. on days tenure along with ongoing protests over poor delivery of public services which have been going on in townships across the country ever since the early 2000 graham opposer took over from zuma just over
12:07 am
a year ago people are waiting to see his promise to tackle corruption people to be waiting to see after he's sworn in again kind of how much wind there is in the sails of this promised fight against corruption meanwhile the largest opposition party the democratic alliance pretty much treading water they got about a 5th of the votes same as they did in the last election and then in place economic freedom fighters who promise radical economic changes they've got more traction in the last 2 years they were founded 6 years ago but about just over 6 percent of the votes in the last election and this time they've got over 10 percent of the vote welcome thank you. the world health organization says more than 450 people have now been killed in the battle for the libyan capital tripoli the un security council has called for a ceasefire as the warlord after his campaign to capture the city shows no sign of stopping the red cross says residential areas are gradually turning into
12:08 am
battlefields with almost $60000.00 people now having been displaced the aid agencies are warning hospitals they're struggling with power cuts and chronic medical shortages. queues for food fuel and cash a common in sudan basic commodities are in short supply as the political crisis grains on the following the overthrow of omar al bashir mohammad though has more now from the capital khartoum. a position all saying well then malt totally all polls to a lot of time to talk to the transitional military council they say they do not like that talk to us the transitional military council has been how you were told any different from those of the film team when they say they face a more big a problem which is divisions within the opposition forces for freedom and change to themselves last week difference as a margin between the civil society we which is led by the sudanese professional
12:09 am
association which is largely behind the protest and sudan's forced into a position patties and they traded insults and all kinds of comments against each other in the media and now we're. holding talks to try and. bring a position munity box a little they can face the transitional military council from a united front of polls the ease of ways against time saddam is facing so many problems including the economy where people are facing so many shortages of most of the basic necessities. q all full fuel it. seems like these on site in most parts of the city multis say sometimes they spend the entire day waiting to fill up their vehicles. the fuel crisis shortages of bread and electricity outages posing
12:10 am
a major challenge for the country's transitional military council moderate men and women follow us everything is as before there is no difference between the old regime and the military council we still have shortages and queues for bread and fuel. back used to fill money at banks and the few teller machines that still hold koch under the c.n.n. hero. dozens of people wait patiently in line to get money out what the most out of interest of and it may take us up to a month sometimes to withdraw full salaries treat government imposed limits it's ramadan and people are fasting it's unfair to wait for this long to collect our own money our own right according to bungle fishelson it's been taking an average of $6.00 hours for the few a.t.m. . talked to be emptied. the financial ecosystem they say house quite simply seized up. yet since that removal of a metal bush in from office the sudanese palm strengthened against the dollar on
12:11 am
the black market sulfides it again almost a 3rd of its value but that is yet to fully into law prices for basic commodities. while lying on the oligarchical oil prices had begun coming down but have once again risen due to the mess of demand for commodities during ramadan we can only pray that things get better for us. the decision to cut food and fuel subsidies i did last year increased discontent with the government and 3 that mosque protest in december that ultimately led to me to move the from office the protest are still going on the people of the law used to making do with the little lady hard core stoutly inventing great thing and coming together to find new ways to make ends meet but the effects on me years of political on the comic isolation they say is threatening to break another determination and push them over the edge how many
12:12 am
other world does it or how to. joining us now is douglas johnson he's a historian and author of several books on sudan including the root causes of sudan's civil wars he joins us on skype from santa fe in new mexico douglas johnson welcome to the news is it such a surprise that we are where we are today with saddam. well it's not really much of a surprise because within the military within the civil service with injured new judiciary the. islamist groups of were brought in by bashir. and others are still very much imbedded in the government and in the military in the security of sudan at the same time. the civilian uprising the civilian opposition also is having to contend with some of the party like the popular congress party which were part of the regime and at one time but then through with
12:13 am
it but are still part of the problem they were the ones who introduced the most severe form of shari'a law where are the ones who were part of the economy so there are difficult to see how the civilian opposition can go itself together when the military the ready trans the transitional military council is still so embedded in the government. the institutions of the country are we saying that what's happening at the moment that's the situation that's been dragging on for months can carry on with nobody taking it to the next level. no it can't carry on like that for for ever there is a real danger there the peaceful demonstrations that have been so well organized in a number of different cities could be turned violent there is the possibility that
12:14 am
if there is any sort of destruction of property or violence from within demonstrations the transitional military council will use that as an excuse to start cracking down with violence on their own so in your mind you are perfectly clear that if that was to happen or if there were light skirmishes on the streets then the regime would i guess what i'm saying revert to type yes sorry i think it would revert to type the consequence of that is something that hasn't really been spoken about much in the media because the military says that they must stay in control for the security of the country but the military of the areas where there is insecurity where there has been are the fighting in the blue nile in the the nuclear mantids in darfur these conflicts were initiated by the military so
12:15 am
the armed opposition unfortunately hasn't been able to coalesce to present a united front what if there is some real violence against demonstrators in the major cities of sudan this might bring the armed opposition and the civilian protesters much closer together and you could see an escalation of violence in other parts of the country. and not necessarily just the terms and not necessarily in the areas that are currently in conflict with the government that the johnson thank you don. we welcome. still to come for you here on the news hour we are in india where a small political party is making significant changes in delhi's education system. leading the charge an island in south korea where traditional cars are running out of growth. and sport is a juggling act that the world relays and japan that's coming up with joe in about 20 minutes.

12:18 am
you have to work in. until now the coverage of latin america and most of the world was about covering khuda taz tragedies as quakes and that was it but not sure how couple feel how they how they think and that's what we do we go anyway 5 and a half months of demanding a good education system that was introduced to. latin america al-jazeera has helped to fill a void that needed to be filled. welcome
12:19 am
back welcome if you're just joining us you're watching news our live from doha these are your top stories 4 people including 3 gunmen they've all been killed in an attack on a luxury hotel in the southwest of pakistan one separatist group called the liberation army has now claimed responsibility for the attack in the port city of. yemen's who see rebels have started redeploying forces from 3 strategic ports now the pullout is expected to continue for several days under u.n. supervision salif. ports are important for the supply of food fuel and humanitarian aid that millions of yemenis depend on. one of the top story in south africa the governing a.n.c. has retained power after weapon states general election but with historically low vote share the a.n.c. has won with more than 57 percent of the votes now counted that secures enough seats in parliament to give president several ramaphosa another 5 years in office.
12:20 am
rebel groups in the north west of syria are fighting to recapture villages seized by government forces this week rebels launched a counter offensive to reclaim kufa buddha and other enclaves captured by government forces in the province of hama the new government campaign against rebels in both hama and italy provinces has killed more than 100 people and forced 150000 from their homes. some un security council members say they're deeply concerned that a full scale military operation in libya may lead to a humanitarian catastrophe our diplomatic editor james bays has more now from the u.n. in new york. there have long been fears of a final offensive in it it is one of the last strongholds of the opposition to assad aid workers have been concerned about an all out attack the population of the province has swelled to more than 3000000 people after many fled here from other parts of syria. russia is strongly suspected of carrying out some
12:21 am
of the recent bombing the targets of included medical facilities attacks that some experts believe could amount to war crimes as the security council gathered european ambassadors expressed deep alarm we are extremely concerned about the violent escalation in the region a new alipore must at all cost be. prevented you need lib there is only a political solution and the military solution that apparently has been sought now is not is not a viable one the meeting didn't take place in the main chamber of the council where open sessions are held but instead in the smaller room near it where meetings are conducted away from the cameras there was deep division and it was on display at the end of the meeting when 11 of the 15 members made
12:22 am
a joint statement 4 countries south africa indonesia china and russia did not sign up to these words we express or deep concern. of a potential humanitarian catastrophe in the event of a full scale military operation in italy so on the statement did not mention the assad government or russia can you be clear which countries are carrying out the bombing. for now even some of russia's harshest critics on syria were not prepared to condemn the country in public medical facilities have been attacked in it who do you think is responsible. will make medical facilities appear to have been targeted from the air say there aren't very many options for who can target from the air in this part of syria many security council members want to stop the
12:23 am
bombardment but they're also aware of russia's record of intransigents on syria it's used its veto 12 times in the security council that's why they're doing things behind closed doors at the moment their next step of course is likely to be an open meeting calling russia out in public james out his era at the united nations the u.s. warship designed to land u.s. marines is on its way to reinforce naval forces in the gulf iran's dismissing the deployment as quote psychological warfare aimed at intimidation the arlington is joining the abraham lincoln aircraft carrier strike group which sailed through the suez canal on thursday commanders say the deployments are a response to possible operations by iran against u.s. forces in the region of these latest deployments only to a significant u.s. military presence in the gulf the data base in qatar is the forward h.q. of the u.s. central command it is the largest u.s.
12:24 am
military base in the middle east but not the only one the u.s. navy's 5th fleet has its headquarters in bahrain there's been an american military presence in kuwait since the $1991.00 gulf war and american forces make regular use of its facilities in amman and the united arab emirates for more than 15 years there's been no formal u.s. military presence in saudi arabia u.s. operations of the base just south of riyadh ended in 2003 but ties between the 2 countries miller. trees are strong and the kingdom has long been a major buyer of american weapons america's support for the campaign in yemen has also become a significant political issue in the united states rodger shanahan is research fellow at the lowy institute for international policy and formerly an australian army officer he says the narrative surrounding the u.s. deployment of warships is more dangerous than the deployment itself. i think we have to separate the actual deployments in 10 years of the aircraft carrier battle
12:25 am
group and a 52 probe planned and perhaps a patriot missile batteries something that is new york separate those from the language it's emanating from washington so the narrative in washington is only hardening of the approach to iran and its use in a normally sequenced military deployments to back that up so i don't think we should be overly concerned at the moment the possibility of people or decision makers making the wrong decision based on that is fighting so i think the language surrounding least appointments is probably more dangerous than did it once and so in the u.s. it is certainly said and did talk about ramping up the pressure and it's already. the military pressure from announcing nased on insisting something more than they probably are but the thing that has been ramped up has bayne the economic pressure so we sayn not very coming out of the j.c.
12:26 am
you know i bet also more recently. the waving or the citation of the way it is for iranian oil exports through now sensation in the entire the iranian revolutionary guard corps and very recently were saying no sanctions against the iranians still now being human just the so. i think people probably paid too much attention to this military aspect and not attention to the economic aspect which is probably where the where the herd is being killed my stain me. as a long election process continues across india the governing party in the capital new delhi is highlighting education reforms its own baled after taking control 4 years ago and is now hoping to replicate its regional success in parliamentary elections on sunday so who rahman has the story. like many homes across india a man out on
12:27 am
a card is helping his children with their reading writing and arithmetic mahomedan are sent to horror wants taught in a private school that parents believe that state schools were not up to the job until now the father is a local politician for the aam aadmi party which has promised to improve state education in india's capital region but many stung me when i ask my children about the change they say government school teachers are teaching us better than the private schools private school teachers are very qualified they are paid less our teachers are more qualified and i get to know this from the children many. many government run schools in other states look like this badly in need of repair very little furniture and no support materials it's not easy to get a good education in conditions like these. one few parents in delhi would send their children to state schools for the same reason but a major investment in schools has seen the modern classrooms emerge with new equipment and sporting facilities that have attracted more parents back to the
12:28 am
state system in order to develop it with our situation was pathetic we never wanted to step in sight now the building is amazing the infrastructure is great and the number of teachers in the school is also increasing that's why we are getting our children admitted to the government schools here set up the system but lacking then diet can be. is credited with turning delhi schools around she was brought in as a senior advisor to the state's ruling party she's now contesting a parliamentary seat in delhi and hopes the party's education policy will get her votes and people are now beginning to talk about the fact that in just 40 years of such a transformation can happen then why did it not happen in 20 years before that and this is the fast time this question is that i think in their mind. government schools can be involved yes government hospitals can be improved and therefore we need the parties who believe in delivering this. last 5
12:29 am
years but the project foundation which is a non-governmental agency says the focus needs to be on those who educate the children who are they having these number of buildings. in france but they. all need to be offered you cation. in the quality of education is more important as compared to other aspects educational reforms in delhi being debated across the country but the need for reform and change is because changes here are big associated with the smaller regional party more responsive to change many voters are asking what have the stablished parties done in the best state so al-jazeera delhi. in hong kong pro-democracy politicians have come to blows with those loyal to be over the government spread to allow extradition to mainland china. i was some tried to stop others debating amendments to the extradition laws changing
12:30 am
the laws would change change that rather allow suspected criminals to face big national security charges in china opponents say is another erosion of hong kong's independence. the latest round of trade negotiations between the u.s. and china ended in washington with no breakthrough but beijing's top trade negotiator says the meeting was constructive with more. well the question now of course is the proportionality of china's response china has warned of counter measures without specifying exactly what those measures would be but lou her who has been leading the chinese negotiating team has said the talks are going to continue he said there's been a twist but the talks are not over and they will resume in beijing in a few days time it seems but lou her there's also conceded that there were disagreements during the discussions china wants the united states to lift those tariffs if a deal is done he also admits that one of the other sticking points has been how
12:31 am
much china has agreed to purchase from the united states but generally his language so far has been very measured. overdrawn we have come here with sincerity on behalf of the chinese government are 2 sides of conducted candid and constructive talks we both agree that the 2 sides need to maintain the good momentum of the consultations despite some temporary friction and obstruction we also agreed to meet again in beijing and to continue their consultations in the future. president xi jinping is aware that in the united states president trump has the support of the democrats on this issue and of course this tariff war comes at a time when china's economy is continuing to slow and this is a key year in china as well the communist party is 100 years old and in october it will be 70 years since the founding of the people's republic a year that the chinese leader cannot afford to appear weak particularly during
12:32 am
trade disputes with the united states but on the issue of trade this is perhaps the one area where the u.s. and china can do a deal because china is much more concerned right now over taiwan and the support that the trumpet ministration is giving to the independence leaning leader of the island republic. court has given permission for d.n.a. testing to be carried out on one of the suicide bombers killed in the easter sunday attacks it's to confirm if he was the suspected mastermind mohammad zahir and who's believed to have carried out the attacks a 5 star hotel in colombo the authorities will compare d.n.a. with 4 year old daughter who survived a police raid a week after the bombings in the town of cullman a mineral fernando's met some of the families of those involved in planning and carrying out the attacks that killed more than $250.00 people. moment with said his mother mother struggled to explain what happened in sri lanka on easter sunday

12:34 am
everybody knows in carpentry is a very kind of a glowing. piece of mind and he has a very good connection with his family. i don't know what was his mind i think actually he has. brainwashed. some people doesn't think. a number of those involved in the attacks related and lived in history cut down pretty all within a few 100 metres of each other we also met the mother in law of one of the easter sunday bombers in a twist of fate her daughter was killed in the sign the battle to read a sister in law of another bomber also spoke to us they both said they did not know the plot. mohamed zara on scene here just before he detonated his bomb at the

together everything you need for an electric future. yes the cars both the sensible ones and the fun ones and all the other everyday variables to service in a world beyond fossil fuels all using the same advances in electric engine and battery technology but in all shapes and sizes even one made using a 3 d. laser printer. i think we have passed the inflection point and even these have become the norm the better prices come down by more than a 3rd so vehicles cost less as well. for an expo promoting green transport jeju is the perfect stage. a large volcanic island off south korea's southern coast it's famous for its rugged good looks a tourist destination that knows how valuable its beauty is and how vulnerable to climate change. because of that it's committed through renewable energy and
12:39 am
electric vehicles to being completely carbon free by 2030. in the entire jeju island is a natural treasure we wondered how best to preserve it and when it came to transport we decided to go electric jeju seems perfectly placed for such an experiment an island with relatively short driving distances well suited to electric vehicles and with a semi autonomous government able to pursue bold policies when it comes to embracing the electric vehicle jewelry is already way out in front of all the evey's in south korea right now a quarter of them all here on this one island but it's still got a long way to go to be 100 percent carbon free. the vast majority of vehicles still use fossil fuels but the government is quickly putting in place the resources needed to encourage people to go electric. to do such
12:40 am
a budget. so all the provincial governments providing enough support in terms of regulation and funding transport companies are also replacing their vehicles so i'm sure we can achieve that goal to them because you as the quest continues others in asia and beyond watch with interest what jade you can do maybe they can do also. rob mcbride al-jazeera j to south korea. 20 sports news is job peter thank you miss a day is a well set for another dominant weekend informing on with the team taking both positions on the front row for sunday spanish crown prix a qualifying session the 2nd to cancel the year prove tricky because the broncos nico holcomb both suffered a broken wing as he lost control and williams driver george russell found himself in a spin at the end of q one it was championship leader about terry bumped us who topped the timing and qualified on pole ahead of teammate lewis hamilton ferrari sebastian vettel and red bulls next to stop and make up the 2nd row mercedes have taken one to finish at all the races so far this season. when i was controversy in the f 3
