it's the formation of the sovereign council that is what they were supposed to be discussing yesterday who will be leading the sovereign council and fictive lee who will be meeting the transitional period but those talks of course have been suspended the 2 sides that the military council have said that it's giving $72.00 hours the opposition coalition is the it to react to see to it to see if to say if they're going to agree to that $72.00 hours or not and what will happen after that's only 2 hours but it largely comes down to the protesters themselves if more violence erupts him then they say that they will be part of the opposition coalition to call off talks with the military council and that is likely that what will happen if more women are up in the coming days morgan live for us in khartoum thank you for that update well how the world is a sudanese cartoonist and activists he says the talks will likely resume in the next few days for the military is not ready to give up power. i'm very happy with the decisions that there is and the new change in freedom of movement has made of

removing all the all the barricades because then you know we showed that we have we want to move forward with with with the transitional government and this is now in the hands of the military there is a lot of issues but 1st of all you know the issues are always going to be claiming that there is a 3rd party that does that that they need to keep sudan secure from and . seen from the 8th of ramadan 2 days ago and from day of of the event yesterday that there is no 3rd party we know exactly who should who call the shots we know exactly who killed was for that and the military that hadn't done anything about it but that will become of course the excuse every time that there is are are united in one thing that they want a transition to civilian government. but again we have to all understand that this is the 1st time this happens in 30 years so there is

a lack of free media even now there is there's a lot of power and there's a lot of there's a lot of. rumors that that's being that's being pushed by by different different parties so i think it's. up to the protesters now to figure out what is fake news was not what do they really want and how to keep focused on you do not think in the cause that they've been in this is in for for the last month which is generational to civilian government. plus more still to come on the news hour including. human rights groups say all sides involved in the battle for libya's capital may have committed war crimes. the commander of iran's revolutionary guard warns of an imminent confrontation with the u.s. as the rhetoric from both sides escalates. and in the sports with all the tantrum

and saw players throw knights of the italian open tennis tournaments. egypt's military says it's killed $47.00 armed men and waits across north and central sinai it also says 5 of its soldiers were killed in the offensive that destroyed $29.00 shelters used by the armed groups several tons of drugs were also confiscated egypt's has been fighting armed groups in the region for the past 2 years well omar sure is the director of sea securities program at the institute's he thinks the information coming from the egyptian military needs to be verified 1st. it's the largest group that has been fighting there since to solve than 14 in the sinai province which is an affiliate of islamic state organization isis but it's more complex than that because there are multiple armed groups that are

trafficking networks that are drug drug lords so it's more complex than that and the history of basically state or nonstate violence in sinai goes back all the way to southern for so it's not it's not something new there was a promised is going to end in 2 weeks when general sisi took over in september 23rd dean we are in may 2900 now it did not and by some estimates it escalated i think the same news from reuters said that they had 385 i e d's confiscated from these tunnels if that is true and this we have to be very very careful because you know the numbers the that the media spokesperson give are very controversial you know if you counted them the counted the number of deaths is 47 to day yesterday another 50 and so on and so forth it would exceed the maximum estimate of the number of good in those in this in this area the number of insurgents with exceeded by far so we have to be very careful there but if there

was a 385 i confiscated then we're talking about a significant blow to. sign up and if it was the target organization. at least 150 civilians have been killed in northwest syria during 3 weeks of a russian backed government offensive talks in the opposition the violence is posing a strain on a cease fire struck by turkey and russia last year and that's testing their relationship so you know how to reports from beirut's. people's lives have been destroyed while their neighborhoods are reduced to rubble. schools mosques and hospitals have been hit. pretty weak syrian and russian jets haven't left the skies over northwest syria opposition controlled villages across southern it live and northern hama and provinces have been targeted like about us in and as in and out that the majority of the people of looked to earliest further north many were

injured and killed in the bombing of a solution there is no ghost town empty of its residents. it's the biggest military escalation since the ceasefire agreed by turkey and russia last september that agreement is now under strain turkey says it is intensifying diplomatic efforts with russia to deescalate the violence but it seems moscow has its own agenda but class structure. itself or russia is much. smaller but what's what's the reaction. in the streets yeah that's what's wrong. nato ally turkey is in a difficult position going ahead with a deal to buy russian made s. $400.00 missile system would worsen a troubled relationship with the united states which is threatening sanctions.

president treasure time for decline was also careful not to mention russia's role in the violence in northwest syria he accused the syrian government instead of seeking to sabotage turkey's relations with russia the 2 countries don't just cooperate in syria. turkey is increasingly reliant on russia for its energy needs they also have an important economic relationship and the kremlin's expanding influence in the middle east is a reality so it is difficult for turkey to walk away from an alliance that secures its interests in syria and gives it a say in its neighbors future. it live gives turkey political leverage but the offensive around the province is unlikely to break its alliance with moscow. smart . you know. interest i think it was. in working turkish

officials say a working group with russia on northwest syria will could be 2 and it didn't give more details but the offense him. continuous dozens of civilians have been killed and nearly 200000 displaced many nor remain trapped not just in a war zone but in a geo political struggle. beirut. and sell jazeera has just learned that the un security council will discuss the situation in italy on friday but right now the u.n. security council is holding talks on the increased violence in the somehow west african region with representatives from britain a facile child's mother the mauritania and asia briefing the council on how to combat armed groups in the area it comes after wednesday's attack in the share that killed $28.00 soldiers well our diplomats had said james baines joins us now live from the united nations headquarters and james have been hearing from briefing on the saddle region what's the assessment so far well i think

ambassadors will be quite shocked by what they're hearing because often they talk about one country now we're talking about instability and violence spreading across an entire region there are countries in this region that used to be pretty peaceful just a few years ago and they're seeing a great deal of violence between of us so is one of those countries where they've been attacks recently on churches and christians and attacks in recent years that have been getting worse and worse in a country that same 3 years ago was seen as a peaceful place just last week we had a french special op forces operation to free 4 hostages far so for foreign hostages that were being held there 2 of them 2 french citizens were actually kidnapped in a place that's not even in the so hail across the border in but mean it shows i think how difficult the situation has got certainly the foreign minister of bicheno

far so for barry said it was extremely dangerous. it is true for example in enormous removes it from the threats from these groups remain strong and exerts an enormous pressure on our states and all across the threat is gaining territory it is no longer contained to the north of mali or the deserts of broken a faso or along the mauritanian borders it has taken new forms with more terrible consequences. such aims what exactly are they asking for. well they're asking i think for money and equipment because there has been efforts in recent years particularly by the u.s. to cut the budget spent by the international community on peacekeeping and that means that in this area in the sahara area you have a somewhat piecemeal and patchwork approach to the problem in terms of international peacekeepers you have a big force 13000 peacekeepers in mali a u.n.

force but they're only allowed to operate in mali then to deal with the growing problems across the sahara will you have the group the g 5 sad tale joint force now that's hardly up and running it's staged some 7 operations this year but it doesn't have the budget to do the job it doesn't have the equipment to do the job and it is now trying to get the un force to provide basic things like rations and fuel so it can do more of its work and that's certainly a riposte or by the u.n. secretary general temporarily at least for the un and the e.u. to provide funding there are other forces in the region the french special forces are operating in the region the you have a training mission in mali there are also u.s. special forces although the pentagon no longer gives any numbers of how many there are in that region and we believe the number has been draw down significantly in

recent months so lots of different efforts of the international community but nothing that seems to be particularly well coordinated giving given the scale now of this problem across so many countries james bays thank you very much indeed. now the right script for amnesty international says it has evidence war crimes may have been committed in libya. the warlord had a for have terror has waged a 6 week long offensive to capture the capital tripoli from the un recognized governments around the state has gathered with the statements and compiled satellite images which it says reveal unlawful rocket attacks on the neighborhoods of tripoli the group is calling for an instant of this occasion. iran's foreign minister says u.s. sanctions are unacceptable and on cold for but insists his country is committed to the 2050 nuclear deal serif is in tokyo for

prague and the only way to do it would be to restore the economic dividends. from j.c. pure that is the purpose of the you pete. meanwhile the commands are overruns revolutionary guards as warning of imminence confrontation with the united states major general he says the u.s. escalation in the region represents what he calls a decisive moments for the islamic revolution the same the strategy has more now from tehran the rhetoric is definitely ratcheting up it has been for the last several weeks and months but the message essentially is the same iranian lawmakers civilian leaders elected officials as well as the military are all staying on point on a couple of specific things major general hussein salome the relatively new leader of the islamic revolutionary guard corps certainly saying making very strong statements that were broadcast on state media earlier today he said that iran and

the united states on the verge of a full scale confrontation of course the supreme leader has been warning for some time now that war might happen but he's also said that a military confrontation is unlikely he said that america is behaving ostentatiously the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei has also said that all of that is just an uproar in the middle east to create publicity stunts in order to intimidate iran and other countries in the region mr salami also went on to say that this was a decisive moment for the country and the reason he said that was a little more a part of the speech that was perhaps hinting at a more tactical viewpoint he said that the enemy an enemy has come to the battlefield with all of its capacities at its disposal this time perhaps ending at the fact that the united states has built up its military forces in the region before but this time its focus is so iran something we haven't seen in recent memory and we heard from the permanent mission the permanent iranian mission at the

target says and days of violence bernard smith has more from the gumbo. during this was in a press conference on wednesday updating the security situation in the shrine where the government says. have been no further attacks since the beginning of the week and that is essentially because there's been a curfew in place and that has kept a lid on the violence for the greater challenge of course with your language to try and find some sort of long term solution to bring these factions fractured communities back together but it was not in this town and i asked one of the ministers in the government here who for the 1st time we've heard this from the government blamed for this nationalist extremist groups for provoking this find. your saw ensured that those people who are behind these were arrested and put it yesterday also last night who did this piece in this country nothing has happened.

so we've beefier the again hold it we feel that these are organized attacks on muslim business houses premises that are happening and we will ensure that it does not happen well it's quite interesting it remains tense and particularly here in the northwestern part of sri lanka which is where all of the attacks at the beginning of this week were censored censored and what the minister says is quite interesting because it's you go to a lot of the villages here or to particularly sinhalese buddhist majority believe it's here and there is this sense of resentment against muslim communities muslim communities that live nearby and that resentment has been given an outlet really by the easter sunday attacks a sort of an excuse that some of the international groups have been looking for looking for perhaps to target muslim groups and when you speak to some of the buddhist villagers some of the in these small communities they'll say that the

muslims aren't integrating they'll say that they're not a normal part of sri lankan society and unfortunate this sort of view is quite common and i think the government fears that it's being given fuel by the nationalist extremist groups. now is the 2nd last day of campaigning for the 7th and final leg of india's parliamentary elections the election commission ordered campaigning in the state of west bengal be wrapped up a day early after violence around the on choose say more than 900000000 people are eligible to vote over a 6 week period across the country the last train to is on sunday may 19th prime minister narendra modi is hoping for a 2nd term also here raman is in the city of daraa nasi in the northern states off the top british. electioneering is drawing to a close in india's general election the 7th and final phase of voting will be

commission very worried and concerned about the situation it's a theory a to the opposition parties but they are allowing the incumbent prime minister to speak in the states before he comes here to. vote count on the 19th of may. here in uttar pradesh and then the national vote count on the 23rd of may. well move this ambitious indian health care plan was designed to solve most of the medical problems for the poor but many say the system is experiencing a slow and challenging stars for the 500000000 people it's supposed to help the reports now from new delhi. akash has a brain tumor he's travelled with his family from pradesh state to get specialized care in new delhi. but he and his family don't have the money for this 2nd round of treatment like millions of others they are not poor enough to qualify for the universal health care program launched last year known as mody care. they only have

benefits from india's national health care system and that does not cover all expenses the president about the up and out of the doctors said that please deposit the money for us i told him said i don't have any money then to get us a slip and told us to go to another county but then it was $1.00 gone to another they were then told the cost would not get free care because he's not from new delhi and were told to leave the hospital. moti care is supposed to help the 60000000 people who currently slip into poverty every year because of health care costs but something that makes the situation more difficult for people living in states not participating in modi care like west bengal and kerala among others those states have their own health plans so people from those states are blocked out from some of the best hospitals in the country like the ones here in delhi. the few who possess such more gods come to me and tell me that we took this cot to the hospital but but it doesn't work the ground reality is that it isn't working as

a policy. moti care only covers serious illnesses and hospital stays new delhi's health minister thinks more funding should go into essential primary care doesn't mean we think that primary health care is the best for all treatment big of so much importance on our secondary kit that we have neglected the primary kit. in some states insurance companies administer the funds for marie care and he accuses some of using their role to profit unfairly he has the man who runs motor care refutes this this is a game which is not only good for people who vote it's also good for politics and so if it's serving. the country something the board people i don't see why or how any party will come to the power game changer or stop the scheme.

is us right going to push back theo van. gogh one of the u.n. ovoid martin griffiths has warned the united nations security council the recent ask elation might damage if gyal peace deal. sudan's military rulers serve suspended talks that process leaders for 3 days the opposition alliance which has been demanding civilian rule has called the decision regrettable negotiators are trying to decide who should head the council that will oversee a transition period before new elections are held meanwhile in the capital. protesters have become dismantling barricades and blocks from there to the morgan senses the reports protesters are saying that by removing some of the barricades that they have set up over the past few days they're not listening to the orders given by the military council but rather to the opposition coalition who said that those new

barricades that have been erected over the past few days should be removed and that they should return to their original pair of meters that was set up on the 5th of april when the thetan started now protesters are off the thing that as much as they wanted to see a transitional government being formed led by civilians they say that in the coming few hours if more violence erupts then they will call on the opposition leaders to hold talks and to not reveal negotiations with the military council to hand over part or to believe government rather they want the opposition coalition to announce they're also willing government and the protesters are saying that they will be don't want to recognize that government and that is what matters now of course we know the talks have been suspended and it will be reviewing in the next $48.00 hours or so but people are saying that they do not trust the military anymore and they do not believe that the military would want to hand over power to to a civilian rule so largely what happens in the next few days relies on if more violence erupts over the situation remain calm and if the protesters are complained that the military council want to hand over power to

recent years particularly by the u.s. to cut the budget spent by the international community on peacekeeping and that means that in this area in the sahara area you have a somewhat piecemeal and patchwork approach to the problem in terms of international peacekeepers you have a big force 13000 peacekeepers in mali a u.n. force but they're only allowed to operate in mali then to deal with the growing problems across the sahara will you have the group the g 5 sale joint force now that's hardly up and running its its stage some 7 operations this year but it doesn't have the budget to do the job it doesn't have the equipment to do the job and it is now trying to get the un force to provide basic things like rations and fuel so it can do more of its work and that certainly of repose or by the u.n. secretary general temporarily at least for the u.n. and the e.u.

to provide funding there are other forces in the region the french special forces are operating in the region the you have a training mission in mali there are also u.s. special forces although the pentagon no longer gives any numbers of how many there are in that region and we believe the number has been draw down significantly in recent months so lots of different efforts of the international community but nothing that seems to be particularly well coordinated giving given the scale now of this problem across so many countries. when there is life or is no. capital ouagadougou and nic 1st of all has anyone claimed responsibility for the attacks that happens in backing of us and. well. that's right however we've had a confirmation over the attacks in. where late

a catholic recession in the north of the country was attacked. the virgin mary was attacked several attackers several of the worshipers were also killed and again yesterday we've heard a muslim charity that was out distributing food during the muslim fast of ramadan their vehicle was apprehended 2 of them have been held hostage so there's been really an increase in intensification of attacks not just in faso in neighboring mali in the share and also in bin then just 2 weeks ago we're been in where 2 french hostages were taken hostage there were they travel through burkina faso and the french forces intervened to try to release them so yes it's really like stepping up of operations of attacks here in boston right now i mean the capital ouagadougou and there was this. really it. things id amongst people here waiting to
