called her who would appear to be in favor of an old your brain. the you can give them some something very soft indeed that suits them but it's looking very bad and the conclusions for the border situation are ominous not only from a trade point of view but also from a security point of view because there was a long history of. type organizations attacking border posts and caused some spots on the border because they symbolize the division of our land by a by the british. empire over the years ok well if the your kid leaves with no deal let's say boris johnson or a heart breaks a tear becomes the u.k. prime minister given the noises that the us making they are not prepared to renegotiate this deal if the u.k. does leave with no deal what will happen with that border how will it be secure.

well i mean the politicians here in the independent part of ireland have been beating the drum about you know we won't have a hard border and we won't have. posts and so on but in reality most people think it is this is going to be very hard to avoid if britain is outside the and doesn't have some kind of a special deal in terms of costs and our border will be unavoidable some kind of course some suppose look on avoidable no there has been talk of technological solutions but that's hasn't really worked all that well anywhere else so it's a very worrying time if there is a hard courts or who would secure its because the bracks it serious said 5 say you know we don't want a hard courts or we're not going to send troops there it would really be the e.u. would have to see that syria envisage that scenario. well it would have to be the irish on behalf of the very reluctantly but i can't see.

most independent observers can see how you can. see chlorinated chicken or argentinean be far far more laden american nice coming in over the border into the south of ireland and into the rest of europe it's just not all and it's just. you is a single markets would have to protect itself against that kind of thing ok and just finally the other option of course is that if a hard forwards or a no deal breaks it were to come in there is the possible chance of a border pull whereby the people of northern ireland votes to become reunited with the republic of ireland how likely is that scenario. well it's probably going to happen in the long term in say 5 or 10 years but not in the short term would. in

the 1st place it wouldn't it wouldn't get a majority in the short term whatever about the long term also it could cause the main security problems as well could cause a resurgence of violence coming from the loyalist pro british paramilitaries ok we'll have to leave it there but thank you so much for your thoughts to going to britain joining us there from wexford in the republic of arlen's well let's stay with the view from europe i'm joined by natasha butler a correspondent in paris and that's our charlotte very clearly very concerned about those developments how does the rest of europe react since its use. all the big question for most european leaders of the resignation of trees in may is of course how will all of this affect that process we've heard from the french president's about all that call he's calling for a rapid clarification we've heard from the spanish prime minister saying that

perhaps a resignation now means that person's facing a halt breaks it there are lots of questions we also know the irish prime minister is very concerned we heard there about the coming months and what it will mean for any possible future in the negotiations calling it a very sort of dangerous phase ahead you don't britain was supposed to be leaving the european union this year it was supposed to have left in march there was a summit then in april we have a new deadline of october 31st that was negotiated between e.u. leaders and theresa may but of course with her now out of the picture european leaders are wondering who will replace or will it be a hard line breaks that is so to speak what will that mean going forward the one thing we do know is that the european commission spokesperson is saying that whatever happens as far as the european union is. can so they will be no new renegotiation of the withdrawal agreement and that is something that european leaders of said all along but there is no doubt that the breaks it process that has

taken you know years now has really left many european leaders extremely fed up and frustrated and this resignation and all the questions surrounding it is only going to make the situation even worse ok natasha about joining us from paris thank you very much indeed well let's stay with this across the atlantic kimberly hawkers who is in washington d.c. kimberly we're not sure there's been any reaction yet from the states to the news of prime minister to resume a stepping down but this does of course come just before president trump is jew to visit the united kingdom a visit that might previously have been cause for process or concern i might seem like a welcome distraction. there's some confusion here in washington perhaps over the calendar we haven't had any official reaction from the white house as of yet to the news of the resignation but we certainly know that there was on

the official calendar a scheduled meeting between theresa may and u.s. president donald trump set to take place next month whether that meeting will still take place is unclear the white house has not responded yet to our attempts to try and clarify that but we know that donald trump has been a critic of trieste amazed in the past he last year in fact as he visited the u.k. describe some of these sort of hardline politicians he calls his friends concluding frosh and boris johnson in particular as being his friend even saying that he thought that johnson would make a good prime minister something we know that was set to irritate theresa may and that the president later apologized for but there's no question that he favors a hard exit from the european union seem somewhat critical of trieste amaze attempts at deal making and when it comes to nigel for ah she's a familiar face to many american reporters we saw him many times on the campaign trail in the presidential election in 2016 and when donald trump did become

president elect he was one of the 1st foreign leaders to not leaders but one of the 1st foreign politicians to head up to trump tower to congratulate donald trump so there certainly are some familiar faces whether or not the president will be meeting with any of them when he makes his visit to the u.k. is unclear but in terms of official reaction we've not had any from the white house we have had however one tweet from the president's daughter of where she did mention or that she praised in fact to teresa mayes service calling it showing courage and dignity in the service of our country we do know that the to work together on anti trafficking efforts in the past and certainly. one of the 1st to react to this news came to a whole lot for us in washington d.c. thank you very much seeds. stay with us here on al-jazeera plenty more so to come on the news hour including why the u.s. is adding to the list of criminal charges facing wiki leaks founder julian assange

. and we'll tell you how the best 3 time major champion trying to end a victory on home soil that's coming up being inspired. by saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin someone has mets the deputy heads all sudan's transitional military council the prince and general mohammed crumbs on the galo discuss cooperation between the 2 countries and other issues affecting the region meanwhile in sudan doxes engineers and arses have rallied on the streets of khartoum to mounting a transition to a civilian government's professors have voiced concern that regional powers are trying to influence the future of sit on iran can has more on this story.

ever since the sit ins began in early april it was held a sentiment that's become a focal point to most a rallying cry look it said at that sermon often dictates the agenda for the opposition coalition for the next few days now the mom is backrooms a general strike to take place not just in the capitol hill but across the city's professionals association the brotherhood rises to bring light to represent most of the city's professionals is also that the strike if it happens and the earliest it might have the sunday destroyed could will look just a couple but the i can tell you over the country now what we're hearing is that the opposition to finish it off hoping that this strike will put them in the driver's seat when it comes to negotiations with the army up the budget the opposition coalition say they would know the role in public political life from the army the army is insisting that they did quote of all the. people are protesting on the

streets of the algerian capital for the 14th consecutive friday young female police. were facing police a chance said we are fed up with the generals they're demanding democratic reforms and the removal of politicians from former president abdelaziz bouteflika is governments presidential elections are expected it's in july the longtime loser was forced to step down last month. india's prime minister in there and ramadi has pledged to take his country to new heights after leading his party to a landslide reelection victory with most of the 600000000 votes can see it's the big j.p. has security a large majority in parliament it gives moody a purple mandates to implement his nationalist vision which promises

a stronger economy and a more influential role in international affairs also held raman joins us now from the capital new delhi. after that big win for most of the b j p what's happening today. well the vote counting continues and we can confirm that the b j p have at least 302 confirmed winning constituencies across the country and with their allies they should reach a round about a figure of 340 to 350 in the coming days we are waiting for the election commission to give an official final sign off you might say on to to confirm the. win but with me is one of the city parties that lost the congress they've been in opposition for a number of years now. is that communications director thanks very much for joining us obviously a disappointing election and the 2nd defeat for the congress party where do

you go now is as an opposition party. we lead a little opposition we needed to be formally picked to really keeping this government in check whenever they tried to do and people legislation and would be have been very successful as a result in a previous state election in december of 6 when back even 3 states we rested 2 states which were very last 15 years. this election was different be 42 in new shoes and the present government. 40 don't you more do we show them now it seems that people before him or he was before. is always very difficult fighting as many people across the globe would understand a local election a state election the national election the priorities and the issues are very different do you think your party talked to the indian people in the right way

about the right issues at the right time. knowingly not make any difference nobody will make a note of the party will not make a mistake considering you put in the average you know victories everything from up on. so the intentions were. to go to people and ask them as to what went wrong what is it that kept them of you from voting for us because we have been dawlish by 234 years old party we have been. showing this country for the longest time but they have chosen different leadership at the moment they have chosen a different party and. we wish them luck and we will. do. that has been assigned to us i was going to ask you about how you are going to play that role because at the end of the day the combined opposition number less than a quarter of the total parliament can you be an effective opposition if you start talking to the other groups that are also sitting on you might say at the back

benches i think most of the parties will have a fresh beginning and let me tell you for the benefit of your viewers that we are in better numbers than the previous election the 16. we had a lesson number of m.p.'s and later operations group this group is a little larger so it could be easier and also we are much more experienced with 5 years in opposition so we would believe that all that has been assigned by the people of this country we look forward to seeing that debate in the lok sabha unfold in the weeks ahead for the moment thank you from the congress party and of course what we have to look forward to is the confirmation from the election commission that the b j p have a wonder selection that hasn't happened yet but the process of dissolving the parliament and. allowing the new parliament and the new prime minister to take position the swearing in will happen over the next few days right now or in the next couple of hours we will see the cabinet meet the president for

a final farewell dinner and the cabinet earlier within the last hour and the prime minister narendra modi decided that they would dissolve parliament so that they can actually start the process of allowing the new parliamentarians to. be sworn in once they are confirmed as the winners of the general election and so hell rahman in new delhi thank you. a prominent religious scholar is one of 2 people killed in a mosque at sac in the afghan capital kabul a bomb reportedly went off during friday prayers afghanistan's interior ministry said 16 worshippers were wounded it isn't yet know who is responsible for the attack. at least 2 people have been killed and several more injured in a bomb blast at a mosque in the city of course in pakistan the explosion happened inside the main prayer hole right half an hour before worshippers were changed to a why if it follows a space of similar attacks across the country in recent weeks. at least 4 police

officers were killed in a bomb blast outside a mosque a pakistani taliban claimed responsibility for that attack. but the indonesian presidential candidates probably. is expected to file a legal challenge to last month's election results as experience days over oil and protests with at least 7 people killed 200 injured in riots over the past week but testers are angry that president to joke with dodo was declared the winner of last month's election they say there was widespread cheating but the election commission says that call was free and fair thomas has more now from jakarta. it's here the constitutional court in the heart of jakarta that the opposition has said they will before the end of friday lodge a formal legal appeal over the election results it's quite possible that many hundreds of their supporters maybe thousands will come down to watch them do it and that's why there's such

a big police presence here the roads are closed i've got riot gear they're resting at the moment but they're prepared for what might come because earlier in the week protests turned violent turned into riots and people were killed while santiago who was the vice presidential candidate supporting the presidential candidate for both to be anti or has called for their supporters not to protest violently although he has said they can come down here is a top off for them to persuade the constitutional court that the vote was systematically raikes because the margin by which we don't know won the election 11 percent according to the electoral commission well you need to have a lot of evidence of voter fraud to iraq. that tried of margin and on friday up little press conference the opposition didn't really go beyond saying they wanted the court to test whether the election was free and fair that it is that much evidence that it had been rigged nevertheless the full legal process will begin on friday and if company by violent protests the place i better pay it. is time for

that are now bring up here across the central plains the storm that caused those tornadoes in jefferson city has now moved off the coast this is now the new storm we are watching the big problem is not just more tornadoes but because we are seeing storm after storm passing of the same location it is now the flooding situation that is happening here across united states and 18000000 people are under flash flood watches as more storms for the next 3 days are going to be pushing through. i've gotten so to come on al-jazeera why the u.s. president has turned his attention to japan for business opportunities. direct certain mira nair looks back over 30 years of filmmaking since the come film festival launched her career. and we'll tell you how a sport that is good for the environment has got the backing of one of hollywood's biggest stars that's coming up later but.

a huge landslide in parliamentary elections for the told supporters in new delhi that he's got a mandate to build a new india. saudi arabia's crown prince has met the 2nd in charge of sudan's transitional military council to discuss corp meanwhile sudanese professionals have rallied in khartoum to mounting a transition to a civilian government. eritrea is marking its 1st independence day since a peace deal was reached but neighboring ethiopia last year the government's has moved to block social media platforms ahead of the celebrations the reason is unclear but there is speculation the governments may be trying to prevent protests under cements reports. it's the biggest day in eritrea's calendar of celebrations with even more significance now there's a peace deal with its neighbor and want time enemy ethiopia. now u.n.

sanctions are lifted but human rights organizations say repression is still part of daily life president israel's of lucky keeps a firm grip in this one party's state. i reports of a ban on social media may be surprising to some when you consider how few people are actually online eritrea has a population of 5000000 but it's estimated fewer than 2 percent use the internet mobile phones. have internet access and there's no private media dissent isn't tolerated the country is now in a position to open up to the rest of the world. the. surprising bar is very little seems to have changed actually. despite all of the very. system of government. autocratic. eritrea's

peace deal with ethiopia last year part of it signed in jeddah appears to have had some involvement from saudi arabia and the united arab emirates partly brokered the deal with a clear objective to have more influence in the horn of africa the u.a.e. had already built a military base in the eritrean port of a back in 2015 and as these satellite images show it's a large complex the runways are used by warplanes from the saudi u.a.e. coalition in its fight against the truth is in yemen. with a base in positioned at the mouth of the red sea it couldn't be more strategic the suez canal to the north but even more important to the u.a.e. its enemies in yemen are a short distance away. eritrea's war for independence from ethiopia lasted 30 years coming to an end back in 1991 the conflict may be over but

unemployment is high compulsory national service in the military is indefinite tens of thousands of people have fled the country one of the hazardous routes out through libya where many have ended up in detention centers. peace may have been established but any hope of it bringing better fortune for the people of eritrea is still thin on the ground. andrew symonds. also serve as a commentator on african affairs and a former columnist for new africa magazine he joins us now live from london this is a 1st anniversary for eritreans surely a cause for celebration. yes unfortunately they should be but also the war in irretrievably really thought here which was rather ruthless was under the report suggests is one in which more richer and thought of

god in your nation but 30 years on unfortunately 30 there's been no whole saddam fortunately yes while the deal with opium was welcome and i was one of those guys who were extremely hopeful that your area was going to be opening up the signals are not rather very good change would take place and interchange would take place except change in us mara so the status quo remains and the vast majority of the russian people remain very poor very coarse concentrated luckily into their own countries and unfortunately many era trends particular that what the guys who fought against you thought here are some of them are really traumatized particularly those in the next hour and he's also like this this much hope for change but do you think with so many eritreans fleeing the country seeking asylum elsewhere or trying to find jobs in other countries do other countries not have an

incentive to in savina or at least try and see if the thing could be done to alleviate the situation for many people. the countries that would seek to intervene the ones we very specific strategic interest again are the reporter from under suggests you know those are the guys who basically want to sustain an element of stability but stability from their interests father field i think it's less of other countries from father field but rather you're quite right though there are trends who are saying who are now organizing the liberation war generation who are up to very recently in fact there was a meeting in london not so long ago in which i think the government in the rhetoric for the past time issued a statement so one of the reasons actually why they're taking this move to block social media is because of the threat and the scare of what it can do to organize and mobilize interference both at home and abroad and the younger generation of your experience if you see the kind of thing that is actually happening in sudan so

yes there is actually much hope is it a hope for today tomorrow possibly not but in the medium to long term is an imperative change has to take place in iraq here asked change has got to take place across the region and you touched on it just where we've seen the events in sudan say the situation in algeria still very much moving situations but it's news of these events that filtering into every train itself. yes unfortunately very limited in russia is perhaps the most secluded country after north korea hafer can think about any other country already so with the clampdown it actually makes it worse the penetration in terms of social media is very limited most of the sort of media organisations interfere must have the state controlled you know it's like it's a defunct apartment it perfect perfect one party state subsidies are controlled

from the center so in that period makes it rather difficult but while it makes it difficult it basically means that it's a boil that if not well money it could possibly explode they hope though is that the younger you need thought you know who managed to to cause the change in the thought be it and to create the possibility for the peace deal between the 2 you've got cory do continues to to to prevail and to succeed it is possible that guys like the top in the new top in leadership they can possibly persuade their affair and chief afaik if that is actually in the best interest to open up and opening up it tends to work well if not the alternative is actually going to war which would actually be a very unfortunate strain of our country just as joining us from london thanks very much for your thoughts and analysis. the wiki leaks founder julian assange is facing new charges in the u.s. bringing the total to 18 the u.s. justice department is accusing him of unlawfully publishing the names of cross of

foreign sources i'm conspiring with former army intelligence analyst chelsea manning to obtain classified information and wiki leaks published versions or secret diplomatic cables from the state department swedish prosecutors are currently trying to extradite to songs for me to face allegations castro has more now from washington d.c. . the federal indictment of juliana songe cover a sweeping 18 charges 70 of them are counts that he violated the espionage act and there's an additional hacking charge and altogether if convicted back to back they carry a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison now the indictment alleges that assad in 2010 worked with former intelligence analyst chelsea manning to unlawfully obtain classified information and then publish it on wiki leaks it says that these documents were hundreds of thousands of pages of war logs and diplomatic papers

that revealed the names of classified sources inside iraq and afghanistan these were people who were helping u.s. military in their efforts there and their lives were put at risk because of this disclosure the indictment also says that this endangered the national security of the united states now song is currently in a jail cell in london where he's serving a 50 week sentence for having skipped bail he was arrested in april after being injected from the ecuadorian embassy if you recall that's where he had been for almost 7 years hiding from authorities who had wanted to prosecute him for rape in sweden now that he's no longer on. diplomatic protection under ecuador those allegations of rape have been reopened in sweden coupled with this u.s. counts of violating the espionage act now it's

a question of which country gets to go after him 1st once he's released from jail in london the u.s. has already moved toward extradition. well with the trade war simmering between the united states and china u.s. president i would trump is now turning his attention to japan he's been invited to tokyo to meet the new emperor and empress but big business will be looking into his meeting with the japanese prime minister shinzo abi friends of elements in trade negotiations that might test their relationship when he reports from tokyo. away from high profile trade disputes between governments small and medium sized japanese businesses are forging their own relationships suck a casting company used to make car parts for a large japanese companies now it focuses on making products for other industries instead of relying on the japanese government to do the deals for it it's going directly to the united states. there is

a global political trying to put your country 1st but even if there is an existing framework for trade i want to build relationships with other countries that are private sector level the relationship between japan and the united states is good but donald trump is trying to push japanese prime minister shinzo around on trade the u.s. president will attend a sumo tournament while he's in tokyo and may find that japan is determined to hold its ground trump is threatening to increase tariffs on imports of japanese cars if trade talks are successful within 6 months when the talks are going on between the 2 nations neither party should call up for any unilateral action most of the threats a coup.
