military and the financial dog and you see the people in those words and those policies are affecting see the emotion on their faces the situation they're living in that's when all of us can identify with the story. talks to end to john's crisis a suspended after gun fire breaks out at a major protest site in khartoum. an architect of this is al jazeera live from london coming up. american forces on

high alert in iraq off to washington orders all non-essential staff to leave immediately. the u.s. president signs an executive order declaring threats against communications technology and national emergency. we must not allow war take peace off the table and the u.n. says yemen is at a crossroads between war and peace but the country remains a battleground between the rebels and pro-government forces. under talks between certain news opposition leaders and the military council on a transfer of power have been postponed indefinitely just hours after gunfire broke out at a major protest site in the capital. 14 people were injured outside the military headquarters in khartoum demonstrations have been camping there for weeks demanding a civilian government to an end to military rule. that the robot is live for us in

khartoum so what's going on at the moment at the city at the army headquarters. well or in the protestors at the sit in front of the army headquarters are saying that despite what happened just 6 hours ago they are not going to end their set in they've described it as an attempt to disperse them and they're wondering why does this come now they say that the military council and the opposition coalition were supposed to be meeting today to decide on the suffering council and its composition and its rules and they say that with the military attacking them in front of one of their barricades trying to disperse them that means the military does not want to hand over parts of civilian government and is trying to make sure that civilians stay away from the army headquarters and disperse the set him before they announce mind is made so they're saying that they have no faith in the military council at the moment of course it all started just 6 hours ago around 5 o'clock local time when protesters reported that the rapid support forces a faction of the military tried to move their barricades and when they said that

this was not going to happen that the barricades will not be removed that's when according to them the rapid support for says open fire them to try to disperse them and remove the barricades we know that at least 14 people have been injured some of them in critical condition suffering sustaining gunshot wounds after the forces opened fire on them so at the moment the protesters are saying that they will not end their sit in they will continue until the military council and the opposition coalition reach a deal despite the fact that talks have been suspended at the moment until further notice so how much is all this going to set back reform ation of a transitional government. well lauren at the moment it's not clear if that's going to have a big setback and the impact and the depth of the impact that today's events will have already heard from the opposition coalition saying that they consider this a violation they have directly accused their rapid support forces and those forces are headed by the deputy leader of the transitional government of the transitional

military council so there seems to be a lot of mistrust a lot of tension between the 2 sides they have not yet announced when the next round of talks will be we're yet to hear from the military council their account of events we've already heard on monday evening when similar events unfolded the military council came out and said that. the rapid support forces and the army had nothing to do with it and they blamed what they called as infiltrators the the opposition coalition is not accepting that they're saying that just like and in an independent investigation will be opened into monday's events they are demanding an independent investigation into today's events as well so at the moment talks are suspended it doesn't look like 2 sides will be coming together to finish their talks to try to form a transitional government and till today's events are calmed down a little bit until 2 side to side once again to resume their talks to promote good not live in khartoum thank you.

the u.s. state department has ordered all non-emergency government employees to leave iraq immediately they want to follow as a warning by the u.s. military of a threat from iranian linked groups of appears to contradict the view of a senior general in iraq charles traffic reports from baghdad. i choose us and 14 iraq's a senior shia religious leader ali al sistani issued a fatwa urging iraqis to take up arms against eisel this came up to the iraqi army fled to isolate french people in mosul without a fight but led to the establishment of the shia groups noticed a popular mobilization forces backed by iran who were highly effective in iraq in syria fighting in coordination with u.s. led coalition forces but the u.s. is putting increasing pressure and sanctions on neighboring iran and some in washington say what they call iran's proxy militias in iraq are

a potential stretch take u.s. interests here including 5200 american soldiers but major general christopher geek the deputy commander of the anti eisel coalition has contradicted that. no there's been no increased threat from iranian backed forces in iraq and syria where aware of their presence clearly. and we monitor them along with a whole range of us because that's the environment we're in after that statement the u.s. central command issued a strong rebuke comments from the operation inherent resolve deputy commander run counter to the identified credible threats available to intelligence from the u.s. and allies regarding irradiance backed forces in the region the statement said. earlier this month u.s. secretaries. mike pump a 0 came to iraq on the scheduled visit because of what he said was intelligence on

specific increased threats to u.s. interests in iraq the us has since sent 2 warships and b. 52 bombers to the gulf. the popular mobilization forces are under the command of prime minister idol of the little mahdi in his weekly press briefing he said iraq wants to play the role of a mediator between its 2 allies and it didn't see any threats to it wore off iraq is currently stable up until this moment we have not seen any military escalation in iraq iraq has expressed this to the u.s. secretary of state. iran is iraq's most important ally in the region sharing strong political economic military and religious ties iraqi politicians and religious leaders have said they will not accept any interference in iraq's sovereignty by any country including iran. the conflicting statements about possible threats from iran has raised concerns that some parties in washington are

exaggerating intelligence in order to build a case for some sort of military action against the country now the u.s. state department has ordered the immediate departure from iraq of all known emergency government employees and many iraqis are increasingly anxious that after suffering years of conflict and political instability there may be more to come charles stop al jazeera baghdad u.s. president donald trump has signed an executive order barring american companies from using telecommunications equipment made by firms that pose a national security risk the move paves the way for a ban on u.s. businesses working with china's huawei technologies they would also because threats against information and communications technology and national emergency. she have a chance in washington d.c. so what does this all mean she has. that's what we're all trying to

understand this isn't this is not the executive order that we have been expecting or been led to believe would be coming for months now that is an executive order explicitly targeting weiwei the chinese telecommunications as it rolls out 5 g. the next generation of telecommunications equipment this is not so that executive order this is a very vague executive order for and a declaration of an emergency a national emergency it's it's quite amazingly vague in fact all it saying is if equipment is being sold it's being produced by foreign adversaries presents a risk to the united states that it will be prohibited but it doesn't specify which equipment which companies which cup which countries those companies may be operating and this is not explicitly explicitly targeting china that's what we've been led to believe would be coming at some point now in the last few minutes we we've been hearing that the commerce department is saying look clearly china and huawei in particular are going to be looked at very carefully but for them for now

that all this executive order does is give the commerce department and other agencies 150 days to come up with the specifics about what exactly this mean who will be targeted which leads to all sorts of questions that because in the last few months we've also heard the dog has been very reluctant to issue that executive order despite being pushed by china walks in the administration against chinese telecoms equipment even suggested actually he didn't really think much of all this talk of a security threat or stands to be the reason why chinese equipment is being discouraged by the united states he seem to be suggesting it's really really just the u.s. trying to drive to get a competitive advantage china but clearly something is strange because he al he has issued this executive order and it's impossible to divorce this from the current timing off the the the stalled trade relations with. china the. rather unsuccessful attempts by the us to try and convince allies in europe and elsewhere not to buy chinese goods or try to 2nd mortgages equipment because often

they can say well wait a 2nd you don't have a battle on why why should we do about 3 perhaps these are all connected but we don't really really know the the radius of it there does give rise to that suspicion that this may be adding to just that general sense of unease surrounding the trade talks because if if the vagueness is so that there is an out for the u.s. so that they can eventually buy huawei well i wasn't much for the argument about there being a national emergency the national security threat from chinese equipment so it's all rather interesting the more you look at it the less significant it kind of theme moves but it certainly adds to the general sense of unease as we put it into the context of talks with china between the u.s. and china she have attended thank you the u.n. says there's been progress in yemen led to hit the rebels have begun withdrawing from the port city of data it's part of a deal to establish peace in 3 strategic ports and is being hailed as
