in particular we are looking at temperatures into the high teens and nice guys but for rio we are looking at rain in your forecast for the temperature of 29. this is al jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan is the out there and you live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. 5 people are killed and dozens injured after protesters are fired on in sudan's capital khartoum. the military transitional council says there's a breakthrough in talks to form a government but issue a warning to protesters not to provoke. the u.s.
5:01 am
official says iran is suspected of involvement in attacks on oil tankers in the u.a.e. but has no evidence yet. global market slide as china retaliates with its own trade towers on the u.s. . we begin with breaking news out of sudan the military has defended itself against accusations that the armed forces used live rounds against protesters on the streets of the capital. at least 4 demonstrators and a soldier have died at least 40 people were reportedly wounded by gunfire but in an overnight press briefing the transitional military council said it would never fire one peaceful protesters and also said that rogue elements had made their way into the groups of protesters to cause trouble. you know what i've seen with. you there are people who are infiltrating these groups they are armed and they targeted
5:02 am
some of our military personnel we are aware of these people there are elements and plans of provocation we know the means that they use i mean they have targeted the military with armed ammunition but these outlaws were using barricaded areas to target some of our soldiers one of our soldiers was killed also people from the medical team were injured we reaffirm that we are monitoring all those laws and we know who are infiltrating and are provoking the military and all their components. morgan have been listening to that press conference about india and joins us now live from khartoum he but there was quite a lot to unpack from the press conference but the military seemed to be saying that the security forces were essentially provoked by elements from within the protest movement. yes indeed aaron and that's something we called a few protesters and activists in front of the army headquarters they say they're not happy to hear they're saying that they have set up so barricades on the way to the states and which is on roads leading to the city and they say that they search
5:03 am
every protester coming in and out of that city area quite well so they are sure that the protesters who are in front of the army headquarters are not armed and so they're asking the question if the military is sure that these people though who provoked the the military and the rapid support forces are among the protesters why did they not make a move earlier why did they wait until things escalated and there was loss of lives that's questions they are asking and they're saying that they were eyewitnesses who saw the rapaport forces firing at protesters and we've spoken to some of the people who have been receiving treatment at the medical clinic set up at the square and they're saying that they were sure that they've seen men wearing the uniforms of the rep the sort of support forces attacking them so the the military as much as it's denying the fact that their forces and the record support forces have anything to do with the attacks on the protesters and the death of the protesters as well as the death of one of their members they're going to have a hard time to earn the confidence and the trust of the of the protesters after
5:04 am
what happened tonight and he but just quickly sum up for us what happened on the streets earlier that led to the deaths of these 4 protesters and a soldier. well when we spoke to the protesters earlier just before 5 o'clock local time they said some of the rapid support forces blocked protesters from accessing the city aside from from one of the roads known as the armed forces bridge they're saying that what happened then is that protesters went to words where the iraqi support forces were blocking the bridge and confronted them and force them to open the bridge now that's where things escalated the protesters have reported that the rapid support forces fired at them and so they had to call for backup they had to call for more protesters to make sure that their effort for the sort of rapid support forces do not fire now that after that things escalated the the the protesters in front of the said that the reputable forces try to to try to move their barricades several reports from other activists as well that barricades were trying to try to embed as well so basically the protesters are very protective of
5:05 am
the barricade they say they have set since since the sit in started on the 6th of april into saying that they will not allow anyone to remove it a final thought here but given the dead leave and severely awareness is now leave the negotiations between the military council and the opposition coalition. well daryn the opposition and the military council said that they are key to try to continue our ng arning out their differences on monday they say that they have agreed on the structure of the transitional government a lot of other things left to talk about so including how long the transition period should be and who gets how much representation in the transitional government but the question is how much pressure can the opposition put on the military council because most of the pressure most of the power that they have come from the protesters on the streets and many of them have been calling for the opposition coalition to stop negotiating with the transitional government there saying that they are the people of the country and they're the ones who decide who has legitimacy and the right to govern them and at the moment they do not want the
5:06 am
opposition coalition including the sudanese professional association which has been spearheading calls for protests over the past 5 months to negotiate with the military council so we're going to have to wait and see how much impact there calls on suspending talks with the go with the military council has on their own and the negotiations as they are going forward thank you. all right let's just take a step back now and remind you of how we got to this point unrest in sudan began in december when the government decided to triple the price of bread protests over that move soon grew into demonstrations calling on president omar al bashir to resign or the protests became more widespread and a met with force dozens of people lost their lives many demonstrators then started staging a sit in outside the military headquarters in the capital demanding that the army force al bashir out when on the 11th of april that is exactly what happened bashir was ousted in a coup and placed under arrest a transitional military council took over and they agreed in principle with the
5:07 am
opposition parties to form a joint body that would oversee the country's affairs until elections are held but there continues to be disagreement over the composition of that body let's bring invest my money she's a professor of political science university of waterloo in canada she joins us via skype from there let's talk 1st about these latest clashes between the protesters on the security forces were reports of several deaths i mean there are also accusations of excessive force being used but why are we seeing this escalation now . well i think we need to look at this as sort of a balancing act by the courts the military council trying to get as much as it can out of the current situation it wants to entrench its power it clearly wants to hold on to as much of its power and give as little amount of territory if you will to the opposition movement and on the other side you have the protesters on the opposition that want to basically get a civilian representation in a transitional government and they want to see either the reforms or real that
5:08 am
they're not cosmetic and i think they want to have their demands be heard and so it is really trying to get that happy medium if you will between us 2 sides and best well away from the events on the streets what's your response to these charges brought against the former president omar al bashir and how how robust is the evidence against him. look i think there's plenty of international evidence against them to come before the i.c.c. to perhaps i think you know. what happened in dar for whether we want to call it genocide or not the reality is there is plenty of blood on his hands the challenge of course is who from the regime on the inside is willing to give him up and clearly some of the people that are in the military council today have their own blood on their hands from that massacre so this is going to be very difficult i don't see him being turned over to the criminal court but of course there are rumors of getting. turned over if there are some carrots if there are motivations
5:09 am
to do so in terms of warming international relations getting sudan out of coal but it really will depend on what is being given up to entice the sudanese government to give him up it's going to be very difficult and frankly the international community has often lost sight of what happened in there for a new kind of moved on and we know that talks the shuttle again between the military and the opposition coalition is that likely do you think to make any progress and what do you what both sides want to see come out of these next round of talks. well i mean in many ways the violence today probably i think is going to make the opposition be that much more in bold and to not let go and that's a big problem here is this really the opposition is not going to take at face value anything that the transitional military council says they know from the regional examples whether it's frankly what's happening in algeria now to what happened in egypt that you just can't give up the street too quickly or too easily without real
5:10 am
concessions without real reform and real idea itself i'm not hopeful that the talks to be honest but i think that one of the things that the violence i think tonight showed was that in fact the regime still has its you know all the hand in terms of thinking about. you know enemies of the state just the statement that you played earlier sounded very much like the typical kind of response that we saw from other governments in the region which tenet think these protesters are somehow subversive elements that's my final thought from you i mean how important is it then for the military council and the opposition to reach that deal in the transition of power a soon as possible because the longer the talks go on the more frustrated the protesters will get yes and add to that that the protesters also have you know fi expectations they want real reform they want real change they do not want the cosmetic type that it's so easily part started to placate the protesters so their demands are going to be high it's not easy frankly and the fact that you have no
5:11 am
international regional honest broker to help mediate this frankly makes it that much more typical best amani thank you very much for talking to al jazeera thank you. now an unnamed u.s. official is blaming iran for explosions on 4 ships off the u.s. coast early on sunday officials from the united arab emirates confirm that the commercial cargo ships were subjected to what they called acts of sabotage near the port of. the incident happened a $140.00 kilometers south of the strait of hormuz that's where about a 3rd of all oil traded passes well earlier on monday a member of iran's national security commission said that whoever is behind the explosions is trying to instigate a war. what happened at the port of fujairah is still vague and unclear but it seems that there are some in the region who want to drag trump into a war and we are dealing with some issues with very high historical responsibility i think to talk about explosions in fujairah is just
5:12 am
a he 15 area and suffers many shortcomings whoever stands behind this is pushing for a failed plan. in jordan has more now from washington d.c. . all the u.s. officials will confirm is that the united arab emirates have asked them to provide help as they investigate sunday's attack on for shipping vessels that were attacked just east of the port of food gyra in the united arab emirates the u.s. military will not say officially whether it does believe that iran or an iranian proxy was behind the attacks on the 4 vassals in which all 4 of them suffered massive holes in the side of their souls and thus can't continue was sailing to their ultimate ports of destination these attack which happened early on sunday comes against the backdrop of the u.s. reassigning. portioning some of its military vessels in the middle east to be on guard for any sort of negative iranian behavior in the region particularly in the
5:13 am
gulf u.s. officials insist that they're not looking to try to go to war against iran but they say that as long as iran tries to continue supporting groups that the u.s. considers terrorists and that as long as the iranians continue trying to develop some sort of nuclear weapons program they argue that it is prudent for the u.s. military to be on a heightened footing as a way of protecting u.s. interests as well as those of its allies across the middle east the european union has told the u.s. secretary of state that it fully supports the international nuclear deal with iran called in the u.s. to show maximum restraint my compound held talks with e.u. foreign ministers during an unexpected stopover in brussels the block's foreign policy chief expressed concern that u.s. strategy towards to iran carries grave risks last week iran announced it was scaling back some commitments of the 2015 nuclear deal. michael pale heard that
5:14 am
very clearly today from from us not only from myself but also from the other ministers of the states that. we are living in a crucial delicate moment where. the most relevant. attitude to take the most responsible attitude to take is and we believe should be and that of maximum maximum restraint voiding any escalation natacha botha reports now from brussels. well the u.s. secretary of state might pompei may have come to brussels hoping to persuade e.u. foreign ministers to drop their support for the 2015 iran nuclear deal but he would have left disappointed the e.u.'s foreign policy chief federica more greeny made it very clear indeed that member states still feel very committed to the iran deal she said that it is still the best bet for regional security and earlier in the day we
5:15 am
heard from some foreign ministers including the german foreign minister said this deal is all about stopping iran from having nuclear weapons well more greeny also called on both sides on both tehran and washington to deescalate tensions she called for calm and she called on iran to continue complying with the 2015 deal she said that was extremely important so far iran had and as long as it does keep complying then the e.u. would support it ever since the u.s. pulled out of the deal and re impose sanctions on iran it has set up a payment system called instax which deals with some a certain amount of trade between the e.u. and iranian businesses but so far that's only for small and medium businesses so it doesn't mean it means basically the big multinationals in iraq iran and daimler will be unlikely to resume trade with iran because they will not want to risk u.s. penalties nevertheless more greeny says in stocks which was supposed to be up and
5:16 am
running in a few months may now be up and running in a few weeks and that perhaps is an indication that e.u. member states are serious about trying to look as if it least they are doing more. the is falling reaction now in tehran. the iranians will also tell you that they've been saying all along that they do not want a confrontation they do want not want a conflict but they won't back down from a fight both sides at some point have said that an open conflict is not something they want but both are on a very aggressive footing and iranians will point to the fact that mr proper may be saying what he's saying now but the fact is that very publicly they made a great demonstration of sending more american military hardware to iran's doorstep iranian leaders both civilian and military have responded very very angrily to that in the last several days in the past week now as far as mr pumping his comments with regards to what the iranian people might want what the iranian people might
5:17 am
deserve iranian leaders and iranian people here in the country will be listening to that and be thinking that they really got what they wanted from the 2015 nuclear deal that was improving the country's economy it was a policy success for the moderates for the reformists in government and it was going towards changing the dynamic between the united states and iran as far as negotiations as far as talking before the deal was signed in 2015 there was a run of months and years of of talking to each other so there was a creation of forward momentum with the deal iranians have been saying that the united states pulling out of the deal is a signal that it cannot honor its agreements also its coming on the newshour including volunteers against one community in sri lanka thought is to impose a nationwide curfew and we'll tell you why the united nations says thousands of children at risk of starvation and i'm done and spoil the raptors frenzy action from the n.b.a. playoffs
5:18 am
a little bit later. now u.s. markets close shop. down on monday as the trade war between the world's 2 largest economies escalates beijing has retaliated against america's new tires with fresh duties of its own on u.s. imports a white house correspondent kimberly holcomb reports. from electronics and appliances clothing and shampoos u.s. consumers are bracing for increased spending on products they use daily as a result of the hike of u.s. duties on chinese goods put in place last week by u.s. president trump our economy has been very powerful then despite the escalating trade tensions transposed to china is hurting and needs to negotiate a new trade deal with the united states we're in a great position right now no matter what we do i think china wants to have it because companies are already announcing that they're leaving china because they
5:19 am
can do that they can't compete but even if trump was downplayed the effects of the trade war and u.s. consumers china had already retaliated escalating the trade war even more raising tariffs on u.s. goods sold in china effective in june from 10 to 25 percent. last friday u.s. china trade talks ended abruptly with the u.s. side arguing discussions had been constructive but not enough for a deal. trump insists u.s. tariffs won't hurt americans soybean farmers that export to china are already taking a hit with cotton and pork also seeing a slowdown trump's own economic advisor at mid it over the weekend american consumers are going to feel some pain again both size both sides will suffer and there is the uncertainty has rattled world financial markets and made investors nervous we're not at the beginning of the end we're at the end of the beginning and
5:20 am
unfortunately we know from history that it's much much easier to start a trade war that is to end one especially if you've done what the u.s. has begun to do here which is really make it a pride in autonomy question for people. most u.s. companies believe china does not abide by global trade rules but for months large u.s. retailers like wal-mart the rely heavily on chinese imports have been urging the trumpet ministration to finalize a trade deal but donald trump hasn't ruled out adding even more tariffs to chinese goods brought into the united states the tensions could play out for weeks trump says he'll next meet with chinese president xi at the g. 20 summit in japan in june where the 2 will try to resolve their trade dispute kimberley health at al-jazeera the white house well let's bring in andrew young he's a china analyst and joins us live from hong kong so as everyone expected china has responded with its own tariffs on u.s. imports how significant is this move by beijing and is it like to hurt the u.s.
5:21 am
. well let's face it our military talks only broke down at the 11th hour almost at the last minute and before then there was supposed. to mist in the sea but then we broke down because at the last minute the chinese leadership found out that actually china is giving in far too much and getting very little if at all for example of trauma ministration insisted regardless of what the concessions china was able to offer the terrorists are likely to remain so i think that they also negotiating with a loaded gun over hit. reminds charge of the. national humiliation scene of the centuries of humiliations in the last century so i think that a lot of chinese people in china are quite. angry with this type of negotiation
5:22 am
yes suddenly the chinese economy seems to be yeah i'm not going to say that china wants to be seen to be tough in these trade talks but i mean what message is beijing trying to send to the u.s. by responding and escalating with its own tires what's the messaging here. well of course there is the as i said i mean the national pride is very very strong and there is no way the chargers can just cave in with a loaded gun over his head this is really a lot of chinese people as i said was angry and also the feeling that china's economy has been doing not so badly in spite of the. terrorists and also they realize stations and as the terrorists and it is widened to catch all of china's exports and then the american consumers american importers and american businesses are going to be to support this proportionately even hit harder and also the more
5:23 am
the longer this impasse is carried on the more anxious president trying is like ok he because he wants to have a win under his belt but then the u.s. presidential election is drawing near i mean we know that the trade war is hurting the economies of both the usa and china just talk us through quickly andrew who's feeling the pain in china what's happening to companies and consumers there. well. i think that the china has been a lot of the companies in china even before the trade war have been relocating to other countries because the costs are rising and then china's not the kind of development model no longer suits china kind of a cheap labor energy intensive kind of operations are moving elsewhere already even before the trade war now would a trade war with the terrorists being lapped on more companies are going to relocate to other countries however there is no easy substitute because no other
5:24 am
country can compare char with china in terms of the scale in terms of the efficiency because he view all you need to do is to travel. ok you can buy all you can find all this up on tractors is unlikely to be easy substitute elsewhere just just a final thought from you andrew and briefly if you can both chime in the usa the trade talks will continue so what happens next well i think that in that where we're going to not going to see an easy solution because the latest rhetoric is that trum hopes to be able to meet the presidency at the end of june and now this is only through the middle of may and so this. kind of tit for tat kind of standoff is likely to last for quite some time and i think that the war is only the tip of an iceberg because american is pushing back against china 360 degrees not just stray technology. on a sea and also investments access to research even exchanges so i think
5:25 am
there's a 360 degrees pushback against a rising threat to us dominance and really on thank you for talking to our desire. authorities in sri lanka are trying to contain the outbreak of religious violence a muslim man has been killed in riots and a nationwide curfew was imposed following attacks on mosques on muslim owned businesses it is since been lifted the government says it's also blocked social media apps to prevent the spread of false information tensions of flared between the majority of british sinhalese and muslim minorities as the easter sunday attacks last month that killed at least 250 people. the us media reports say the attorney general william barr has appointed a top prosecutor to look into the origins of the russian probe by robert muller inquiry will determine if intelligence gathering related to donald trump's 2016 president presidential campaign was lawful and appropriate bar told congress last month he believes spying did occur against the drunk campaign report cleared trump

5:27 am
a positive one connecting the world enabling kroeber communication and it does all that so take by itself like any other human endeavor is not an negative one but a very positive one but what the industry as a whole as a group did underestimate is that like any other service they could be misused for nefarious purposes therefore we need to now work towards a little bit of a culture change and of course. at a couple of days ago seem to be signaling that finally the industry accepts the concept that like the banking industry that's likely to be misused by terrorist and criminal organizations and therefore they need compliance regulations by governments in order to justify the additional costs that it will take to increase and have a defense is there is no technological challenge here my organization the counter extremism budget has a software called it live that crawls in and it's provided as platforms for
