on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. and i'm a clarke this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes sudan's protesters are demanding an independent investigation into monday's violence which killed 6 people. they met to mend fences but america's top diplomats and the russian foreign minister do not see eye to eye on several issues including . the security clampdown on venezuela's opposition controlled national assembly and accusations of crimes against humanity against government. polar east with the sports english football champions manchester city say they're the victims of foul

play after being threatened with a ban from the champions league over financial irregularities. so sudan's protest leaders are demanding an independent investigation into monday night's violence that killed at least 6 people demonstrators are reinforcing barricades on the roads of khartoum despite a warning for the military not to do so the council is denying security forces used live fire and blaming what they call infiltrators for the deaths let's go live now to mohamad who's standing by for us in khartoum a protest as a demanding in depend investigation do you think the military council would agree to this request. while the responded to the request from the protesters but it is highly unlikely that the transitional military. council will sign off on an investigation into the art they had.

insisted from the beginning that this was the work of infant traitors who had been in this square and had said that this was absolutely not the work of the military there'd been. a statement issued by the u.s. embassy here and cut to my knee on today saying that the talk was the work of the transitional military council and was another attempt to import its will on the protesters this is what the protesters also believe and they have been saying that it is the transitional military council that should be held liable for that attack this is what one of the protest leaders had to say. we want the army to show us evidence that they were responsible because the injured people say that those who shot at them were in uniform and were driving armored vehicles they deny these allegations so the blame goes straight to the military council the military council

has to do an investigation and tell us what happened we cannot accept their explanation that they were outsiders sowing discontent. now may be purposely does say they'll be no further talks after wednesday until civilians are handed full control is this just an empty threat do you think or is it a serious ultimatum the likes of last night's violence. what about claim from the protesters is based on the fact that before they received talks the purtiest the opposition movement and the transitional military council agreed that they will take $72.00 hours to reach a final conclusion and an agreement on all the outstanding issues and that deadline they had imposed on themselves expires sometime midnight on wednesday and that is what the protesters basing this deadline they're giving on how about they are so many issues. pending including the p.t.o.

the transition is expected to last the role of the military whether they will just get indicated to security and defense monitors all they will have an active role in the transitional process towards free and fair elections in sudan and above all a new constitution all the issues come up. with within just the next $24.00 hours and it's highly unlikely that the deadline will be it now today thanks very much. now the u.s. secular state might compare has discussed a range of issues with russian foreign minister sergey lavrov emphasized that relations between the 2 countries are improving but there were key differences on iran. we spoke a bit about the activities that are taking place in the middle east today with particular focus on the actions that iran is taking i made clear that the united states will continue to apply pressure to the regime in tehran until its leadership is prepared to return to the ranks of responsible nations that do not threaten

their neighbors or spread instability or terror steverson his life. tell us more about what was said between these 2 men in this important meeting. well it was a very rare meeting it hasn't been going very well between the united states and russia for quite a while now and since the moeller report about russian interference in the 2016 elections has been published it seems that this guy has cleared up a bit and that this meeting could actually take place well that's that's basically it because not much has been achieved there's not been many issues that they could agree on much common ground on iran for example the they are basically on the opposite side of the spectrum. from the russian foreign minister was hoping that the u.s. could give them a guarantee that what would not be any military operation or any military action

there in the goal of that something you couldn't give to him on venezuela they couldn't agree at all. russia again to stop supporting nicolas maduro and. basically simply said you can't force democracy but there were also some positive notes as you can can hear from. here we have many differences but what that that the fact that we talk about it will go on discussing this situation of course it gives us some hope that some agreements. maybe reached. well the other key word was indeed hope there has been some progress on the issue of. weapons disarmament about arms control the important intermediate nuclear forces treaty was. abandoned basically earlier

this year by both the united states 1st and then russia simply now is only one nuclear treaty still in place which will expire in 2021 now. there is a possibility that the united states wants to extend this treaty but donald trump has already announced he wants to include china in the talks as well and the next few weeks a dialogue will restart about this very important nuclear treaties which basically shows to the world that the united states and russia are trying to make the world a safer place. thanks very much indeed. well iran's supreme leader ali khamenei has ruled out negotiation with washington over its nuclear program but also said there wouldn't be a war iran's ambassador to the united nations has denied his country's involvement in an incident at a port in the united arab emirates and left for cargo ships damage because more now . in the immediate aftermath of a legit sabotage attacks on oil vessels at the port in the united arab emirates

like other countries in the region iran was quick to condemn the incident demand an investigation and offer support on tuesday a carefully worded statement gave way to pointing fingers during talks in india iran's foreign minister left little room for doubt about who to consider is responsible. we discussed regional issues and the policies of extremists inside the us administration and in the region who are trying to impose their policies we also discussed the concerns we have about suspicious. that are happening in the region that we had earlier predicted that they would carry out such measures. in the region. zarif comments followed a report attributed to an unnamed member of an american military team sent to investigate the alleged explosions and. the initial u.s. assessment seems to say iran had a hand in the incident but no senior u.s.

officials immediately backed up the report senior iranian parliamentarian say there still isn't enough information about what happened. what happened at the pulled is still vacant but it seems there are some in the region that want to drag trump into a war and we're dealing with the issue with a strong mind towards our historic responsibilities i think the talk about explosions in just a hasty scenario and it suffers many shortcomings whoever stands behind this is pushing for a failed. after a closed session of parliament on tuesday morning another senior m.p. said israel may also be behind the alleged attack as a sort of false flag operation to turn up the heat on iran. neither side has offered any evidence of their claims and this is all happening as iran and the united states exchange strong words but prepare for a fight. earlier this month president hassan rouhani announced iran's plans

to roll back cooperation of the 2050 nuclear deal as well as look at restarting enrichment activity at various nuclear sites his move came after the latest round of u.s. sanctions that targeted iranian nuclear activity allowed as part of the nuclear agreement itself to her on continues to call out to regional capitals to say that the united states is an outsider and that it is up to the countries in the middle east to maintain their own security and stability together while iran's neighbors seem reluctant to have more conflict in the region the path forward is still clear and tensions are still specially with more american military presence in the region same bus robbi al-jazeera. yes well they're the iranian situation very much part of those talks between top diplomats of the u.s. and russia that speak now to. the middle east and north africa director for the mosque or policy group joins us now from moscow these talks between pompei and lavrov they seem miles apart on so many issues.

but well look i think the russia u.s. talks in sochi were more about synchronizing the positions of the americans and the russians ahead of the coming meeting between trump and put in tokyo next month the meeting that is likely to happen they touched upon a bunch of issues ranging from the i.m.f. treaty iran syria ukraine so it was a very broad mix of topics discussed and i think that the 2 sides just wanted to kind of synchronize their the positions of perspective. administrations on these broad range of issues right now. the synchronizing positions but they're not really quick easy on these positions are they disagree on iran and russia and syria. yeah i mean this is exactly what. the foreign minister lavrov said during the

meetings that the press conference that the the differences in positions they remain between the 2 countries specifically on iran russia hopes that there could be wider talks on around could prevent an escalation around iran and around the iranian nuclear program same goes for cereal though highlighted that russia and the united states one to prevent the the resurgence of isis in syria and they want to make syria safer place for the syrians and you have you given the escalating tensions in the region specifically over iran how is it how important is it in your view the. russian united states begin to see. the issue of iran. i think it's of paramount importance although i wouldn't say that they see eye to eye on this issue as of as of yet although i think it is more important to the

russians that the americans and the europeans see eye to eye on this on the issue of iran and i think you're a is the is the element that is really missing in this equation in the in the u.s. russia europe iran kind of white or white or equation and i think it maybe was a good idea that powell actually visited brussels before again he came to russia just to see how europe and the americans. how that relationship is developing on iran and it showed that visit showed that actually the americans and the europeans do not see eye to eye so i think that was a very important element of the meeting that came in such. going to do appreciate that thanks very much indeed thank you. but the moral is still ahead. on the news hour including china has hit back in the markets react this is trade war with the united states escalates further. than the u.n. calls to end all financial relations with the amounts government. have to of course

sculls gets a boost from tiger woods revival as he targets a 2nd major title this season. saudi arabia state owned energy company has stopped pumping oil through a major pipeline after a drone attack the government says 2 stations were targeted on the east west pipeline it's a crucial supply line that transports saudi oil from the eastern province to its ports on the red sea who the rebels in yemen say they launch the strikes to warn the kingdom to stop its aggression is not reply iraq in which they are 7 drones belonging to the air force of yemen attacked pumping stations related to the strategic pipeline that carries oil from east to west in saudi arabia it was a successful operation we found assistance from people living in saudi arabia and we had excellent intelligence in the attack is seriously damaged the economy of the

enemy. military analyst the retired general for the lebanese army joins us now from beirut how do you assess the ongoing situation especially with this latest attack on pipeline. yes the tactic of the horses on the pumping stations of our am cool west of riyadh inside saudi arabia. indicates a new. new development in the technology and the know how of the who with his. with respect to drones and ballistic missiles but this at tack in the the scene of oil flow in the region means that. the last. of the for oil tankers of course for jr harbor in the sea of amman means that it's difficult and not safe for united arab emirates to bypass the

strait of hormuz and this attack on the pipeline inside saudi arabia also means that it's difficult for saudi arabia to bypass the strait of hormuz so it's unsafe for saudi arabia to transport its oil through the pipeline to the red sea as the same. night that arab emirates to the sea of amman through 4 j. or so if you will if you throw in the phones attacks where they coordinated. the outcome is. indicates that there is a calling kind of core of the nation because the target or the aim is the same is that nobody can bypass whole state of automobiles and be safe. and given the pipeline attack and the fact that the drone that carried it out it would

have had to travel a very long way it's pretty powerful technology where would that have come from. it's not secret that around force is all of this support is the knowhow and the technology. which enabled the whole thing. up there. ballastic missiles and then drones and the main characteristic of this draw is that it is slow and. when it is slow in their flight that means is that because for the. left or the misses misses. back them because the miss is. set to attack high speed missile and not slow wrong.

we'll leave it there i do appreciate it thanks very much. you went broke it talks between rebels and government representatives are taking place in jordan the un says we think rebels are withdrawing from 3 major ports partly as agreed by ceasefire science last year the redeployment of fighters began on saturday this withdrawal is part of what is known as phase one of the peace efforts to end the 4 years civil war. police in venezuela have locked down the national assembly just minutes before one going to lead an opposition gathering offices have surrounded the building of reports of a suspicious package let's bring in our latin america to lucien human who joins us live from caracas tell us more about what's been happening. hello make the national assembly was due to meet as it does every tuesday it's going to discuss what it calls the persecution the ongoing persecution of the opposition controlled chamber

happening at this hour right and this is tell us a little bit more about this this letter that the opposition have written to the pens comes understand that the contents are not in public view. it's rather explosive come to this point why go asking the man he appointed as i'm back to the united states to request. a meeting with the u.s. southern command that is the military command that is in charge of this of the southern hemisphere and to request that the southern command allow our greed to provide us support cooperation for the day you should why don't ask for it and to come to that israel had to try to bring about democracy or to help to the distribution of humanitarian aid the actual details are not quite clear and that meeting hasn't taken place yet that it does materially did the government of president nicolas maduro and this is happening just as into as amnesty international has issued a report accusing them of the real government of gross human rights violations and

treated in hospital the catholic bishop inch allow violence mendis visited the area on tuesday 1st is to make sure that there is no or maybe. because the common feeling that various restrictions imposed on the media. people feel that they are in the dark of what is happening therefore my personal. understanding is that it is better that maybe our freedom is given so that the people will know the truth. police say the 3 worst affected districts north of the capital colombo young people together in what appeared to be planned attacks muslims and christians in sri lanka have lived peacefully for generations and many say the recent backlash against the muslim community appears to be an orchestrated campaign to create division they say the government must act to stamp it out.

some people in the violence heat it is see outside as a responsible for the attacks the young. good men can still live peacefully with people in this village it's not the people here that attacked us we don't know who they were but they were all from the outside it became ready and they were armed with swords and holes all ready to attack. throughout his muslim community makes up less than 10 percent of the country's $22000000.00 population political leaders here are warning the violence will not only increase tension but could also hinder the investigation into the east this sunday bomb attacks that killed 250 people their fernandez al-jazeera colombo. china's foreign ministry is again warning the united states not to underestimate his determination to protect its interests asian stock markets took a hit on opening after an escalation in the trade dispute between washington and

a sea we've also been hearing from the editor of the nationalist global times newspaper and he's saying that essentially it may be time for china to start selling the debt it holds in the united states in the form of u.s. treasury bonds and perhaps for china to start reducing its orders from aircraft makers like boeing now the 2 sides still have a window for negotiation because the new tariffs the china has announced won't take effect really for at least another 2 weeks and of course the terrorists that president trump raised on chinese goods last week well those tariffs weren't a fly applied to goods that left china for the united states after midday last friday so there is still a glimmer of hope but the time for those talks to happen is rapidly beginning to run out. north korea is demanding a return of its cargo ship seized by the united states john yang says

a suspicious package. in venezuela an amnesty international says the government of nicolas maduro is responsible for crimes against humanity a new report says the death of $47.00 people during a 4 day protest in january was part of a planned attack by government and security forces report says has shown a history of executions arrests and excessive force against opponents going back to 2040 and its international once a un human rights council to form an inquiry to hold the government to account it's pretty. easy americas director of amnesty international joins us via skype from mexico city welcome to the program tell us more about your findings which focused on these attacks in january. well as international has been documented a great human rights presence is that as well as our experience you know in the last year we had 2 entities so it's tragic each other executions the use of torture

are tainted dishes for quite some time now but particularly the 3 should the human rights violations there happen at the beginning of the year general the 1st time general to see if any american decisions of some of the east conflict france in terms of the greece of their response i am a horrible government adequate resources what we've seen the sign is there to practice an extrajudicial executions to cornish to ask who are opposed to it not remember well who are perceived to be opposed to the most of the people where executed by my forces particularly the special forces of the early bird police were targeting young people or even marginalized communities that were pretty spiky actually in some ways this is a nice problems that were happening in different parts of the country so that eventually our everything started to get on and that's just going to rock the

networks that the us is going to say abuse these beds so these attacks signs of similar attacks to those that happened in 2014 and 17 is that right is right i mean we we find that there are a lot of repetition in the way this security forces and some of the armed groups that are supporting the security forces who are working exclusively the security forces happened operating with that particular difference at this time they have targeting people in marginalized communities that are still there you see a demand being there to save lives there are such an adult rights so what needs to be done. well fortunately we're every day that maybe that we have got. the standards that justice is almost impossible to be achieved even as well the letter doesn't even need a new bill just disparate migrations of human rights are the norm so we are going on the national community particularly the human rights. commission or inquiry

that can really cut investigate these practices against humanity then i can gather the evidence of the perpetrators before just what we have also according to international community your. late day and university speech should national preview not beasts ah yes and c.b.s. in britain so let her know about it misleading us about her global rosen's we appreciate your time thanks a lot the world should cut financial ties with military that's according to a united nations fact finding mission the panel has completed another trip to countries in the region it found evidence of continued violations against the rangers earlier the mission concluded that mammals general should be prosecuted on charges of genocide or chris ability is a human rights lawyer and member of the un human rights council's independent international fact finding mission on him and he says the military is still the

power behind the throne. we're not advocating financial cuts to me and as a whole in fact to the contrary we are arguing strongly against comprehensive national sanctions they didn't work in may and mar in the past they result was exactly as you described and that is that the people were impoverished the fact is that during the sanctions in the past the general still got richer we advocating stated not nation wide sanctions not comprehensive sanctions but carefully targeted sanctions against the military they're the ones who are responsible for the situation they are responsible for the massacres the rights of the human rights violations across the country and they are the ones that should bear the price of that and so what we are g is disengagement financial disengagement political disengagement from the generals individually and the military as an institution and that means as well all of the economic vehicles through which the military and the

generals in the institution enrich themselves at the expense of the people the military were centrally engaged in planning and executing the violence that took place certainly in rakhine state against 0 hinge of people lighting 2017 but in fact throughout the period of military domination of me and my life so we're talking about decades of the military have been behind gross human rights violations in all parts of me and ma and not only those in rakhine state against the rabin people ancient close to visions among india's hindu system a source of hardship for millions of people as a country votes in its general election hindus from the lowest cost to once again turning to politics to be heard finds jamila reports from. districts in the state of which are protests. it's been a life of labor for such things mainly working in farmer's fields to support his
