8:00 am
cities coming from washington on the u.s. strategy towards iran what us president trump been saying well that's right the latest comments from president trump when he was visiting japan was that he was open to renegotiating this deal about iran's nuclear program and he directly said he renounced regime change in iran but that does contradict statements we've heard previously from his advisers john bolton known iran hoch who has advocated for regime change in the past so perhaps looking at the actions of the u.s. will speak louder than these contradictory statements as we know there has been a military buildup in the region with the u.s. sending erik air carrier groups more b. 52 bombers and 1500 troops to the region meanwhile iran has accused the u.s. of fabricating this crisis in the gulf ok. joining us there from washington d.c. thank you very much in seeds. well joining us own sense is of doing.
8:01 am
the at cern chief of the newspaper and manager over the prince our press center thank you very much indeed for coming on set with us here we've been hearing certainly from these 2 meetings being held in mecca in saudi arabia significant pressure being placed on iran and that pressure really has been not with this this communique from the g.c.c. thank you for having me actually what we are seeing you know is there are many conflicts in the region right you know we have war in yemen we don't need more wars . is trying to be. blain get their wisdom roll with the oman blasts kuwait to have the peace in the region and that's why their image of cutter appointed the highest person in the government prime minister should have
8:02 am
the love of nasr to attend this summit and to work with our partners at a bar to notice to make sure that there is no this collision no more wars and the region because it doesn't share the nations of the over there just to see the nations of the gulf the people of the go the doesn't say to anyone so qatar showed its good will to help and to play a good role to down play this game which doesn't even set of their american or western interest because this is the region where 40 percent of them imagery being exported to the war so we don't want more wars in the region that's why a qatar has a winter with the emir of qatar since you have delegate nasuwt to play
8:03 am
a good role on the summit but with this statement that has come out from this communique embers were so getting translation details through at this statement is still accepting though that there are threats from iran. as a rehearing from hashem that this does put significant pressure on iran and were heading towards more tensions in this conflict no less is trying to play a good role or believes that united states has the right to renegotiate the nuclear deal between iran and the 6 countries 5 plus one. and in the same time it's again a state placing sanctions against iran or any other country. especially that qatar is facing sanctions you know because since we have the gulf crisis we don't accept more people to to suffer we don't want the iranian people to share for and we
8:04 am
believe that i believe that the cattery government wants to have a good negotiation between the u.s. administration and the government of iran to reach to an agreement. we understand that there are some other rules that united states would like to change but this only happening by negotiation no matter now that their way and how likely do you think it is that we'll start seeing some the go see a shin between the tea party say which is of course iran and the united states i think that even mr trump the president of the united states is showing that he is willing to negotiate with the iranians he said i don't want to change the regime which is the opposite of their parties want to change the regime and i believe that there will be an agreement between both parties in the end of the of the of this
8:05 am
tension well we can hope let's let's turn right it into cutter's role especially because this was very as you were saying earlier this is very significant we've had the prime minister of qatar going to america going to sorry 0 rabia and as i was saying earlier this could suggest that there may be a detente between. the blockades and countries do you think this could be on the cards that we could see here a coming together of all of the different parties on us when we when we go back a few months ago we had the summit to riyadh for the g.c.c. them you didn't attend didn't send the prime minister he could also use. same level of prison taishan but the goodwill that he is showing to earn appreciation and respect to the emir of kuwait mediation and that's why he isn't such
8:06 am
a high top barrister and. i hope that we will see something significant from their side i hope that they will appreciate what amir of qatar is showing to the war and showing to them since day one called for negotiation we could sit together and to negotiate whatever you want it doesn't mean that you are weak you are a winner because everyone is losing on the emir of qatar has said that many times and only the only way to solve issues in the region or between copper on ditch a neighbor is by negotiation so i hope that we will see a significant budget of acts from their side they hope that the blockade against the people and printing families will be stopped very soon ok thank you so much for your thoughts. joining us on set great set to get your thoughts on this let's bring
8:07 am
you some more breaking news this hour sudan's transitional military council says a process camp in the capital khartoum is becoming a danger see the country protesters have been staging assess in outside military headquarters for weeks now they want the ruling generals sounds over power to civilians but the military has told state t.v. that legal action will be taken against what it called unruly elements at the protest sites the council has also ordered the office of the out to syria media network in karts aim to be shot and they have not given a reason for this man i mean as a citizen these activists and he joins us live on the line from new york i met one of the militant military rulers been saying. everyone booked a ticket to for their 1st full 2 let's just go back to your room feel moments when
8:08 am
the magic collison i'm going to take we're going to be done with that are going. to be easy to clean and people so done you know it's just the notion to be a live band or to government again this is a kid to kill moments for the sudanese people and humans for the argument that the mccarthy change i'm going to come down some has been slowing down the peaceful transition of forward toward civilian government. are you concerned about what's happening in sudan and you speed on especially with a still right track and general when there are the to cure the forces which is a part of the military council forces certain down to 2000000 leading to the death of one of the. us to assert that the security forces have been harassing the protesters on the 2nd and i believe the vinci council and g.q. sides from the fed that the people sit down united on the one leadership demanding to be free and they choose to delegitimize side the charge by the protesters takes
8:09 am
to justify the actions and the killing. and they need the committee to lead in their lives announcement and what do you see blind we are going to use. i just find actions by you like alone just what they seem to just find that i just took the civilians. they did. maybe they use and then in april now you've undertaken to do it again. that's why they do something. there with gangs and they don't they when i said some of them did you know look towards media and the gun control the great just before the announcement and they predict that if you make a good they're going to be they didn't eat. belgian would get phone government to almost be shielded from floods to some but you also talk of glass table i know i am
8:10 am
usually i'm and so i'm sorry to cut you off with the let's focus on this this morning from the military leaders saying that the city is a danger you were talking about there were several protesters who've been killed or wait and see a pregnant women were shot what was it that what are the protesters think about this warning that the certain camp is not a danger to national security. well the producers are very persistent today right and they are willing to keep refined so. the protesters are heading toward the 2nd from all around own traditional area and they're willing to stay there until they get their eyes only get down to the protesters are willing to continue until you don't want to look to council. to do for themselves larry for everything and they believe that our leadership should should keep fighting against the military
8:11 am
council what do you think of what you think will happen next because this does seem like quite a significant escalation here just for any viewers or listeners just joining us here out just era has been ordered to leave sudan to leave khartoum the military leaders have also described the sits in camp as a danger we're joined on the line by iman i mean a city's activist just give us a sense of what you think might happen next are people who are worried this could be or could be the start of a more serious escalation from. i predict they're going to mars knows what. the deadly force is to to. to close the system so that's what i think. they did before they were going to do it again and they made it really clear that they're going to do it and then excusing so we can predict i did lee actions by them in
8:12 am
a military college so that's why they take you down there slices of. jean charles and. reagan actually. that's basically what would be doing. whatever it is should anything go wrong and is always trying to to cover their actions and are full in general then and then. in a fight a very contest against them and so then they have been doing the same thing and they're going to do it again ok i mean i mean cities activists joining us there on the line from new york thank you very much indeed. starts other news now several people are reported to have been killed in a series of explosions in iraq more than a dozen dozen others are said to have been injured in the blasts in the city of kirkuk and this he says several improvised explosive devices where and so there has
8:13 am
been the immediate claim of responsibility. joining us on a very busy news are here on al-jazeera but there is lots more still to come inclusion. of it will be a woman who took a look most small it is just unbelievable just unbelievable. major defeats for israel's prime minister means a new elections for the country. the government of j. are both in our own faces its biggest challenge to date as activists rally against education spending cuts. and they were that the overall cricket ground in london where the world cup is on the wife of the hosts of started with a win. now less than 2 months after its last election israel is gearing up for another after prime minister binyamin netanyahu fails to form a coalition government parliament dissolved it's all that self after the
8:14 am
a deadline passed at midnight on whedon's day the country will return to the polls in september meanwhile netanyahu has met with a senior white house adviser jared cushion or to talk about trump's peace plan for the middle east how to force it says more live from west jerusalem. well the day after those incredibly dramatic events at the israeli parliament the knesset the recriminations are flying in israel is preparing itself reluctantly i think for another round of elections none precedented series of events 2 elections within the space of the same year avigdor lieberman continues the former defense minister who refused to join the government unless his demands were met he continues to blame the good party of benjamin netanyahu for ceding too much policy ground to the ultra-orthodox parties his is a secularist party and it is worried about israel it says becoming
8:15 am
a religious state instead of a secular jewish state benjamin netanyahu after those events in the knesset came out and blamed lieberman in the most personal terms you can imagine saying that he would deliberately misled his own voters and acted to bring down a right wing government and now this man who has throughout his career been one of the furthest right members of mainstream israeli politics he's benjamin netanyahu squeezing him of being a leftist in disguise so netanyahu will go into these elections still in a relatively strong position there is a good chance that he could win the power again but what it does do is it really hampers his efforts to try to secure some kind of immunity legislatively from the impending indictments the pending hearings over 3 separate corruption cases efforts as well to try to ensure that the supreme court could overturn any such immunity
8:16 am
all of that is under threat because of this delay and as well as that there are a wide implications to the u.s. administration's peace plan. jarrad. donald trump's envoy on that plan has been in jerusalem on thursday he's met netanyahu netanyahu referred to a little. that had taken place the previous evening but if the us puts off the political roll out of that plan yet again to accommodate israeli elections that delays it well into what will become a real us presidential election season certain really does have a major impact potentially on the rollout of that peace plan or arms foreign minister has criticized the yet to be unveiled u.s. plan calling it shameful machine east jerusalem is not purcell doesn't belong to trump and he can't give it away to anyone it will never be owned by benjamin netanyahu and no one is about to buy or sell it on behalf of the great palestinian
8:17 am
nation. abraham has more now from ramallah palestinians have stopped engaging with the u.s. administration ever since the us president donald trump said that he's willing to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem which he eventually did last year the palestinian officials would tell you that the americans have become part of the problem and not part of the solution and not only do they to jack the u.s. peace plan but also the sword mediation of america in the peace process as to the economic workshop that is due to be held in the next month but just in ian's it's addictive that they haven't been consulted in that conference and they're not going to be joining that position has been doing today that by palestinian president mahmoud abbas who has met the special envoy by the bahamian king yesterday he told him that the palestinians are not going to be joining in response the invoice said that is simply hosting the conference and not organizing it palestinian officials
8:18 am
have repeatedly said this is that the solution to the palestinian cause is not just economic it's political they talk about the end of occupation as well as having is jerusalem as the capital of the future palestinian state. circus presidents reza sayah part of one says fighting in northern syria must be put on hold to stop more civilian deaths and a conversation with his russian counterpart vladimir putin he said a ceasefire in the lab would also stop refugees fleeing to turkey it comes as rebel fighters hold out against government airstrikes with the number of dead rising you know how to reports from beirut's. fozia la she prayed that his children and grandchild will be pulled out alive from underneath the rubble of what was their house. they were at i was. more than 250 syrians have been killed in russian and syrian air and ground attacks in recent

8:20 am
contact with to use their influence on the syrian regime in order to stop the latin air attacks on a deliberate soon as possible. the russian backed offensive is seen as military pressure on turkey to force the rebels to create a demilitarized zone around it lip and open highways that run through the province . there. are. martin being there and there are. the armed opposition is holding its ground believed to be backed by turkey which gives it a strong position on the table but turkey's participation in the russian led asked if they go to track may be more important for russia than it live as it seeks to drive the political process to end the war so they're patriots cells come on

west winds down towards tennessee for example maybe but beyond that i think is looking fine the temperatures are recovering in denver $24.00 when we're up to $29.00 in dallas for occasional showers up in wyoming washington it's a relatively dry picture it may all start up again as we start the new month but it isn't a particularly dangerous even on saturday but showers are certainly there you have the west to texas or new mexico and of course up in chicago too. they had a lot of wet weather recently in fact flooding wet weather in dominican republic probably haiti too and that's in the forecast so for the great trying to raise it is a wet spell showers still likely in jamaica and parts of cuba if a lot of the caribbean is turning rather more wet than dry unfortunately some mexico just off the south coast here the potential for tropical development.

8:24 am
your with al jazeera a quick reminder of the top stories this hour. a society king solomon has accused iran of developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles and the threats to regional security he was speaking at one of a series of emergency summits convened by saudi arabia on iran gulf nations called on iran to respect international law and stop interfering in other countries internal affairs. while the qatari prime minister is attending the summit in saudi arabia after an invitation from king solomon it's the 1st high level meeting
8:25 am
between the 2 governments since the start of a saudi led blockade on qatar 2 years ago. and sudan's transitional military council says a protest camp in the capital khartoum is posing a threat to the nation as want action will be taken against so-called unruly elements demonstrations want more than generals to hand power to civilians. well said back to our top story now from our own bashar is all to see the senior political analyst he joins us now from london marwan you've been following the arab league session i wish is just wraps but it was not addressed by caught so what can be done so that. i think the prime minister of qatar attended the meetings there mainly to for the i mean to attend the g.c.c. summit i think that's the main focus everything else for the time being got those not interested to make declarative statements in support of saudi arabia when saudi
8:26 am
arabia continues to block it got that and i understand you could guess i don't know exactly what goes on the protocols of these sorts of summits but clearly for qatar it was important to speak it's its heart if you will in the in the g.c.c. summit and but in terms of making declarative statements in support of saudi arabia at this point in time it's probably premature and set about some lot of what we heard say in this evening's events an awful lot of people rallying behind series ee arabia's assessments of the way things stand just now i added let's sum up today's events if you would for us there what exactly does this mean for the region that's of elements that we've had in mecca what for the time being i mean i could of written this thing 2 days ago are in have to wait until the end of the summits because it's really expected nothing new and more of
8:27 am
the same terms of other previous summits where there are leaders will say a whole number of things and then everyone goes home and from history one knows that there's no common strategy they haven't come together with some action plan in terms of what to do with iran now i'm wondering if in the final communique there will be in a working group sort or a delegation of 2 or 3 or 4 heads of state that will be speak to iran or speak to others the united states europe turkey and others in order to see how they could deescalate the situation in the gulf. as i said remains to be seen but for the time being of what of heard it's more of the same they are big on own words small actions and unless the final communique has something concrete actionable i think all of it would be no more than just words of sort of already was so the
8:28 am
arabia we have been hearing in the. communique ogress reso picking spirit here marwan but there has been it's been very delicately craft seeds and there has been condemnation of the the season the attacks on the the society pipeline and the attacks carried out by the duties. and so on it has been a it has been quite a mission to draw this together with the has it not because unity is not something that we have seen in recent years from the g.c.c. . more certainly not the last 2 years and certainly not after the reckless policies of the crown prince in terms of the launching the very particular war in yemen and lunching go or many fact checking a crisis with its neighbor cutter in addition the whole number of others whether it's getting
8:29 am
a job notice closing. media outlets or you know making enmity with former allies and the likes including turkey and so on so forth but now we don't know if this is all coming to an end or not or this is going to be continue on that the title of more of the same a clearly the arab countries have come together and express their worry about national security about stability and so on and so forth but as i said before they haven't really taking any measures for the time being our any action plan now what we also know is that aside from the iranian interference and out of affairs their war in libya continues the war in syria continues the war in yemen continues and of course the occupation of palestine continues and the arab world is able to do very little it's also able to do very little in terms of sorts find their own people's
8:30 am
needs for health education and certainly for freedom of expression as you said earlier today as we speak one of the earth and these the head of the military council in sudan have just close our own networks be it or just 0 and sudan which gives you a signal of where the military council is going after they meet with the rulers of abu dhabi the close. it's kind of a cynical calculus that is going on you know in the arab world today and it seems to be continuing despite the shore of solidarity with saudi arabia. joining us now live from london. thank you very much indeed for your and alice's certainty of a new star 21 people are still missing after a tourist boats carrying south korean 2 wrists capsized and sank in the hungaroring capital budapest at least 7 people are confirmed dead so search operations continue
