forces took the chance and attacked when. the shooting began on monday evening the protesters the members of the rapid support for says he tried to move roadblocks they set up on some of the main roads when they refused to allow that. the military denies that day or the rapid support forces were behind the shooting tensions have been on the rise in funding when the military was accused of trying to disperse they said and they've been camping outside army headquarters demanding the military council which overthrew the country's 30 year president i'm going to be here to hand over power to a civilian government right now if i can. get it right more than 30 more than 30 and right now it might be 40 or even more so i should think it will and it must be one of the injuries are injuries from just gunshots gunshots all of the injuries are gunshots. right oh protesters are demanding justice and the

country state prosecutor may be able to deliver some on monday his office and mounts that the ousted president is being charged with inciting and participating in the killing of protesters since the demonstrations began in december last year but she will be tried under article $130.00 according to sudan's law if convicted he faces the death penalty the military council that ousted him says some security members also died in monday's confrontation of this the a 3rd party is behind the violence as an attempt to diminish the progress in talks with the opposition coalition in forming a transitional government no. seen with relief seen there were people who are infiltrating these groups they are or md and they targeted some of our military personnel we are aware of these people their elements and plans of provocation we know the means that they use they have targeted the military with armed i mean but these outlaws were using very crowded areas to target some of our soldiers but

those at the sitting seem to have no faith in the council and are not convinced by another mother isn't it enough the people who died did there have to be more deaths today and all the forces are saying it isn't them then who was it who blood for blood no compensation. protesters feel forced to make them break their sit in which is in the 2nd month. too many lives have been lost in the quest for an independent civilian government for them to give them tensions are at their highest since the protests began and the risks of further escalation and further violence remains. joins us live there from khartoum just looking at your report there it feels as if we're kind of almost entering a new level for a potential of violence here. yes indeed peter tensions are still high at the square in front of the army headquarters here in the capital hard to him protesters

are saying that they want to know who is responsible for the killing of their fellow protesters if the military is not responsible we've already heard from the military made last night or early this morning saying that they believe infiltrators were responsible for the gunshots that started and for the death of not just protesters but some of the military personnel as well so the protesters want to know exactly how those infiltrators that that the the army has identified managed to make it to the army headquarters there's thing that they have barricades and they're bad down and check all protestors coming into the square for weapons and for drugs and they're sure that it is not from them it doesn't come from some of the parts from the protesters that are participating in the sit in front of the army headquarters so the other question they're asking is if the army knew that there are infiltrators who are armed why did they not make a move until people lost their lives a lot of questions from the protesters who are saying that they will be continuing with their sit in front of the army headquarters until they have answers even as

talks continue between the military and the opposition to try to form a transitional government is there any room to maneuver as both sides seem to get more entrenched because they are supposed to have more talks more discussions later today. yes the opposition coalition said that it will continue with the talks they're trying to make sure that all their issues are ironed out by wednesday of course yesterday they said that they have agreed on the structure of the transitional government and to do there should be more talks to discuss how long that transitional period should be for of course the military council wanted it to your transitional period while the opposition coalition wanted a 4 year transitional period so that's one of the things they are going to talk about today amongst themselves and trying to come up with a concrete timeline of how long that transitional period to be before they move on to other important topics like how much will get how much you're presenting in that transitional council the military has been think it wants to hear the transitional period while the opposition coalition says it wants it to be as the villain

independent transitional period with military representation but this all comes down and the talks and their outcomes come down to the protesters on the ground in front of the army headquarters they are the pressure and guard that the opposition coalition are having against the military council to hand over power and they're saying that they want the opposition to question it to question those members of the military council about what's happened or call of negotiations with them thank you very much. a curfew remains in place in the northwest of sri lanka following a series of religious attacks on muslim and was killed in riots on monday more than the saloon businesses have also been attacked security forces have been struggling to contain a rising tensions following the easter sunday bombings the government's blog social media to prevent the spread of false information. from our correspondent. joins us from colombo this particular area in the northwest what's significant

about that region. peter the places that we have the flashpoint of basically sort of the eruption of violence attacks on muslim businesses on vehicles on homes was very much in the areas which there were muslim populations but also side by side other groups in terms of the catholic groups as well as those from the singular majority so this flash point basically has started to erupt obviously emotions very high in the last couple of days heightened by lots of reports of potential further attacks people actually taking to social media not really thinking it through in terms of their posts and all of these things being a recipe for disaster peter and over the last 48 hours we saw this string of attacks pretty much within that northwestern province of the country so this tended

to spread you had people from one village crossing to another village when they heard of it of sort of incident and this is why loss of the violence was concentrated in and around that area and hence the clamping down of the curfew not just there but island wide of the can the curfew remains in the northwestern province peter it looks like the authorities aren't quite getting a grip of the situation yet i mean why have they not managed to close down or to lower the levels of violence that we're seeing. more to we're hearing from where this report on the ground from different parties peter the sort of sheer scale and how quickly this violence has erupted has left the authorities you can really say they're on the back foot because right from the easter sunday bombings qualities boil on the alert for potential violence

and tensions above we are hearing reports from the ground of places where. and there have been attacks particularly targeting the muslim community read their businesses or be they homes very close that there are some cases where the mobs was so on luly and that there was such knowledge bomb mobs that the police and the security forces in certain cases we're hearing eyewitness reports that they will hold a stand back that they couldn't really stop these bombs from going on a rampage that is one past the factory whose owner i spoke to earlier today who said the end tire factory was basically set upon by a mob while there were members of the security establishment that were standing by helpless he also went on to say that when they called the 500 of their particular area they were told that the 5 brigade didn't have water so the muslim community also very afraid very concerned about these targeted attacks against their

community and also wondering why the security forces haven't done more to actually prevent what has already taken place the mill thank you. north korea is demanding the return of a cargo ship seized by the united states last week pyongyang says the seizure goes against the spirit of the summit between the u.s. and north korea the vessel was detained in indonesia last year it was towed to american samoa on saturday washington says the vessel was carrying coal in violation of sanctions against north korea brian has more from the south korean capital seoul. the cargo ship the wise honesty is one of north korea's largest and it's now been towed to the u.s. territory of american samoa in the south pacific it was originally seized in indonesia for allegedly breaking sanctions against north korea by exporting coal

off the eastern coast of the u.a.e. on monday officials from the united arab emirates at the cargo ships were subjected to acts of sabotage near the port of food gyro an american military team is helping investigate that incident while iranian officials are warning of plots to disrupt regional security jordan as mourner from washington. a centcom official is confirming to al-jazeera that at the request of the united arab emirates the u.s. military is helping in their investigation now the associated press is reporting that apparently all 4 of these vessels 2 saudi ships one amorality ship and one norwegian ship were all a hit with explosives and have a hole in the water line of their vessels about 5 to 10 feet wide and that of sensibly means that they're no longer sea worthy and they've had to go into port so that they can try to be repaired the question is whether or not this is in fact the

work of the iranian government or of proxies for the iranian government no one wants to address that question not even brian hooke who is the state department's special envoy for iranian matters he was asked about this by reporters overnight as they were leaving brussels headed for sochi russia and he would not comment on whom he thought might have been behind this attack but certainly there is concern here in washington as well as in the gulf about this kind of attack especially in light of the growing tensions between the united states and iran. because the rebels say they're responsible for a drone raid on saudi arabian soil 7 drones tanks several saudi installations that's according to the television but it didn't mention where the locations were what was targeted or whether there were any casualties. asian stock markets took a big hits on the opening at the opening of trade with

a trade war between the world's 2 biggest economies as that continues to escalate beijing has retaliated against america's new tariffs by imposing new duties of its own on u.s. imports into china as a white house correspondent can really help get. from electronics and appliances to 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 that 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 can't do that they can't compete but even if trump was downplayed the effects of the trade war on 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 sides 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 unfortunately we know from history that it's much much easier to start a trade war the. and 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 that 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 ok let's get more on that for you joining us live. he's in seoul he's the director of the european center for international political economy he was the swedish representative to the w t o mr lee so the dow jones down 2.4 percent the nasdaq down 3.4 percent the vectoring of this is going down hill yes. and yes at the same time we

can still actually picture this scenario that there greenland may be in fact this kind of 11th hour jitters is actually quite normal in trade negotiations is that tweeting is quite unusual ok the tweeting so you're referring that's donald trump when he says the economy is strong he said that on twitter he said it in correspondents report that he says the u.s. economy is super strong but that's based on record levels of debt no u.s. administration has borrowed as much money as mr trump has borrowed. yes indeed that's true i would even argue that the u.s. economy is artificially strong in addition to the there we also have to look into the fact of much of the growth has been artificially induced by the tax reforms in other words it looks strong the numbers are good and there is actually the employment levels are unusually high but what i would argue here is that the most

important factor is perhaps looking at the times of china in fact we are looking at there are typically low but stable g.d.p. high unemployment many seasonal workers have been not being asked to actually return to the factories after the and tiniest new year and at the same time we are looking at a huge spike in crude prices in the coming weeks so. it's a question about who can inflict the other side most pain and who is the most resilient depending if you've got high unemployment in china or if you've got low wage bill in china for the employers if you're talking about the direction of travel that sounds to be to me the recipe list for the chinese recession could they take that hit if that's where it's is pivoting towards yes i mean that's the fundamental problem oh i should also add that trade is not

that high chum our growth for the united states if you look at u.s. exports to china it's less than one percent of the united states u.d.p. at the same time on the side of china chinese export to the u.s. it's almost 4 percent that basically means that you can reduce if this trade war goes down you could probably reduce 4 percent of chinese u.d.p. and which china simply can't afford so as you are saying the director of the direction of travel doesn't look very good for china. thank you so much. there's been a big increase the number of attacks by the group boko haram in the west african country of news year and it's forced tens of thousands more people to leave their homes the un refugee agency is warning of a growing humanitarian crisis so the killer reports on how people in one community by lake chad in the different regions are now struggling to survive. lake chad is

shrinking which means today's catch will be a small one but at least for now these men can fish here legally in 2014 the governments of gerry and chad banned fishing on the lake to try to prevent the armed group boko haram making money from the lake and its surroundings that restrictions have recently been eased. the government's decided to lift the ban on fishing growing paper and exporting fuel into going to offer to allies is the time these things have been banned years ago it was the biggest beneficiary yeah that was his 5 year ban has taken its toll on those who live around the lake and boko haram remains a constant threat it's always been tough living in one of the poorest regions in the world it's even more so now as part of its fights against the armed groups the government stepped up security which includes a curfew. before book a horror everyone used to go to the lake but not anymore the government has banned vehicles from being closed and the fish isn't enough to sell.
