he won the election in december but it was controversial some people here believe opposition to the motto for you won he went to court but he lost in court the judges they see that he had no case opposition critic some of them believe that perhaps some kind of deal was made with joseph kabila the former president to make sure phillips of the katie becomes president and some kind of deal was made whereby we see capella still controlling some key functions the government which include parliament and senate both men deny those claims now the keeping of course is watching fillets of the katy he has big shoes to fill in some analysts say is he going to be strong charismatic and speak out against corruption that his father did or is he going to be a leader who takes the back seat and some people believe. if you're going to be told what to do by outside players as president donald trump has waded into britain's leadership contests he says former foreign secretary boris johnson would be an excellent choice for prime minister the bar for reports from london.
2:13 am
president trump has a keen interest in power who has it who hasn't he also has his own ideas on the next british prime minister in an interview with the sun newspaper this is what he said about the export and secretary and hardline boris johnson. you know the difference but i think boris would do a very good i think would be. and he also said he didn't think johnson's well publicized extramarital affairs would harm his chances johnston's been complementary of donald trump's presidency in recent months but when he was mayor of london he was anything like how times change i would invite him to come and see the whole of london and take him around the city except that i wouldn't want to expose londoners to any unnecessary risk of meeting donald trump. foreign secretary jeremy hunt another leadership contender also got the trumps either of approval
2:14 am
because of his pledge to spend more on defense the right but it thumbs down for environment secretary michael gove a leadership front runner who recently accused trump of saber rattling over his iran policy trumps words fall short of a full endorsement of johnson but they've been seen as a bombshell intervention in british domestic politics and a breach of diplomatic protocol trump has also claims that other leadership contenders have approached him asking for his public support the guessing game over who these contenders are has already begun all in all the u.s. president believes that he has the potential power to impact who will be the next occupant of number 10 downing street it is a crowded contest with 12 m.p.'s vying to replace to reason may the race may be on with may will still be prime minister during trump's 3 day state visit to the u.k. beginning monday to reason mayor boris johnson of had a fractious relationship over breaks it. also told the sun he was really loved in

britain given the huge demonstrations during his working visit last year including the appearance of this claim may be up for debate the barca al-jazeera london. government departments in the united states are odds over the introduction of 5 g. technology billions of dollars are being made from the sale of satellite band with space to wireless companies that some scientists say that's getting in the way of their ability to forecast the weather i can explains from washington. when harry concerned he hit the u.s. coast it was disastrous but it could have been far worse if weather scientists had not predicted the path of the storm and the point at which it would hit several days before hurricane sandy very impressive storm the national oceanographic and atmospheric agency says this too. no longer be the case if bandwidth in space is
2:16 am
sold off to 5 g. companies the reason noah says senses on satellites that measure crucial indicate is like water vapor being compromised by the signals from 5 g. providers in a shared bandwidth there is genuine concern here that as 5 g. is deployed in it interferes with those atmospheric signals that we're trying to detect with the weather satellites then we will not be able to provide the same quality and reliability a forecast that we have currently. but the f.c.c. and the 5 g. industry denies there would be any interference and wireless industry representative brad gillen said in a blog post it's an absurd claim with no science behind it he maintained that no as claim relies on the study of a microwave sensor that never went to to use not so insist the scientists well i can tell you that there are many scientists know or nasa and outside of the
2:17 am
government that are. also or international colleagues and determined that there is a serious threat here and that the science must be considered or we do risk losing our predictions or major storms that would impact society the updated senses also improve research into climate change factors a critical study given the unprecedented increase in extreme weather conditions ranging from intense drought to unseasonal storms. but this argument is rejected by influential figures in the administration who are climate change skeptics including the president himself. officials from the u.s. state department attempting to bring the 2 sites closer together a unified position is critical as a meeting off we'll spectrum regulators is due to take place later this year but the scientists are hoping that the conflict will be resolved by an international
2:18 am
convention that would deny 5 g. operators access to the same bandwidth as the weather senses. in a month that seen a series of tornadoes strike us states the fear of scientists is that the trump administration may be reluctant to sign any more international agreements and will side with those intent on securing a ribbon ustream from 5 g. providers. rather than those attempting to predict the next economically crippling threat from the weather my kind of al-jazeera washington. hello again the headlines on al-jazeera have been fired towards protesters in sudan's capital hard to it was the army tried to stop demonstrators from setting up barricades outside the military headquarters there are also reports of gunfire in sudan's 2nd largest city where there have been regular protests both before and

2:21 am
a week those are the headlines inside story is coming up next on al-jazeera. the call for democracy grows louder in sudan opposition protesters demand civilian rule while supporters of the military say only the army can guarantee stability so can these 2 sides negotiate some sort of solution this is inside story.
2:22 am
but i for 1 am come out santa maria welcome to inside story it has been nearly 2 months since sudan's military deposed the longtime leader all met up a shia and since then there's been a lot of talking there's been a lot of protesting but not much progress talks on sudan's political future have stalled for now people are venting their frustration opposition groups want the military to hand over power to a civilian leader and are defying warnings to end a sit in outside the army's headquarters in khartoum meanwhile supporters of the military council held a rival demonstration in the city they say only the army can bring peace. well any choice is a military led authority in order to protect society we support our brothers and the city and it will void. the only way to get our prices especially with all the trouble in the neighboring countries is for the army to bring saddam to safety and . the sit in here is aimed at lobbying for
2:23 am
a national unity government when the government says that the sit in here causes harm to the people it is a procrastinator so as not to meet the demands of the demonstrators to form a new government i'll introduce you to our guests in just a moment but 1st a reminder of how we have reached this point of course it was the sudanese army which removed president bashir on april 12th after a popular uprising that began as a protest over high living costs the transitional council was set up by the military with a mass sitting outside the army headquarters protest leaders held talks with the council and eventually reached an agreement on a 3 year transitional period the talks broke down though over just who would lead a new joint transitional government protesters then held a nationwide strike to pressure the military to hand power to civilians the military responded by declaring their city in a danger to sudan and also closed al jazeera office in khartoum. or out so here's our panel with me in the studio where lead here is the founder and
2:24 am
president of the sudan policy forum or nice to see you in glasgow we've got senior lecturer at kiel university in the u.k. but i'm going to start on the phone from khartoum now a last minute civil society activists who has been protesting since the demonstrations began in december so now well tell us are you happy to continue protesting despite the government wanting you to stop and well almost threatening you over these are continuing protests outside the army headquarters. yes thank you for having me with you in this program. right now there in front of the military council but if they get caught i mean they are really fine and their morning will unify more than before around the 3 principles are going to peace see them on justice and now they are more unified and they have read that big slugger and that is the d.v.d. and government only p.v.d.
2:25 am
and government this is their demand and they're much more they're not moving a bit from it and they are more so even they are going to have cheap of the weather and the fasting them of them fasting that's still so much strong they are unified and they are determined to much determined you see that they want for the civilian government. families and independent just assistance to ensure that nobody is over or beyond the low and also maybe 30 people a concert people there are a continuation of the previous regime and but all you know worried are you think there is an interruption a while you know worried you talk about the unity and the strength and the numbers and the passion that people have but worried about what the army could to threats of this could turn violent. let me tell you we have this is a peaceful peaceful the evolution. thinking the ideal of peace peace
2:26 am
and and this is what it takes to last longer and till they are going to use all their weapons to peacefully work on and the last one is the t.v. video disobedience and that is coming soon and that is it on a lot of great you know so it is not about these like afraid and the us the us and the people who are sitting there in front of the military council i tell you let me tell you they don't care they said we have nothing to lose. no well let me know if democrats set up anything ok no i'll stay on the line for me there i'm going to bring in our other guests now to get some reaction to what you've been saying well they let's start with you because you and i were talking before we started the show and used talked about the 2nd phase of this revolution you felt there was a fear that it could turn violent now the world is telling us they're not worried the young people they're energized they're ready they are passionate they are not worried about this though that these young men and women are very courageous they
2:27 am
realize the everybody realizes that the very group that has killed or influenced the killing of half a 1000000 in the periphery of so that they are capable of killing at least 5000 if not 50000 in khartoum but what is that going to king i mean if they kill half of the population of khartoum the basic principle is stance that the sudanese people want a quick transition to a civilian democratic rule and for me i call it the 2nd phase because at the beginning all they deceived all of us into thinking that you know we we stand by you we want to ensure that everything goes is mostly. the procedure and substantively but now everybody realizes that this group is is just invites to is just part of 2 or all of they just replaced on one of bashir but
2:28 am
the system they want to ensure that the system institutionally is intact the same the same i mean autocratic system the same. group of i mean. islamists are in place and they they made no effort no effort whatsoever to bring anyone to justice they haven't shown any seriousness no the protest that is called by into all. to think that you know despite the difficulties you know these. commanders are doing whatever possible to make the transition they should north any north side or whatsoever to tell the people that they have given in to the demands of the protesters and that is what is bringing the hype a little bit. and i think now they are preparing themselves to
2:29 am
a confrontation with the civilians got for a bit if they start shooting people during ramadan they are going to at least kill 5 to 10000 individuals in that city this hour lalo your thoughts on this i mean while it is painting an unfortunate grim sort of scenario there but the point he makes i think and i'd like to get your view on is the fact that really nothing changes and most importantly nothing changes as far as trust goes there is no trust there is no belief from the civilians and protesters in this military. and i fully agree with him i think one of the things that we have to realize in the context of dunn is the fact that you know the revolution didn't bring about a rupture between the past and the present there is a continued of the same institution and this institutional belief by the military that is to belittle is more important than demands for freedom in a democracy is
2:30 am
a discourse that has been present incidences finance dependence that's why sudan has been. ruled by military generals but the fact of the matter as balls been highlighting is that stability and security on the one hand and democracy on the other are not mutually exclusive i.d.'s mutually exclusive principle they pockley reinforce each other as imperatives so stoney's people came out and asked even with. al bashir the monday no for taking some pretty brutal major around they took on him and i don't think they will back down now. you know once they have paid the sacrifice have got to this stage and i think it's very important at this point that bore size and she did a very carefully what this confrontation would have been a nobody would benefit out of this is no well known on the phone from khartoum i
2:31 am
hope you can hear what i found guest was saying there they have a lot of concerns about the future and about the threat of a confrontation what the opposition do to try to mitigate that to try to stop there being any confrontation. yes i think that they should open the pain that their lot and the you know the discussion about how to get between the military council and the opposition group but as a matter of fact what was the protest to say that we managed to get it all off although she had a right to state for a dictator what state or 30 years and if you're not going to be difficult for us we are going to do the same with one which is peaceful protest protest and peaceful laws and this is going to happen again and this is work then tired you know time that is they say this is what they are doing and as a matter of fact. to reach it's come i think it's coming to an end also because
2:32 am
it seems like. the government these are you know between the ideology of the people who are taking over the military council and the protesters i think there is no there is no there is no a come on come on cause for them you know and this is that this is the reason why there is no there is no solution now but you know there's just whatever happens the problem they want is he didn't government that's what they want whatever it takes and to take it to have civilian government ok hold on well what did you want to say i think somewhere in between we seem to forget about the role of the diminishing role of the forces of freedom and to. see the ones who should be shoe should have been negotiating on behalf behalf of the protesters or mediating between the. military transitional military council and the
2:33 am
protesters i think ever see the forces of freedom and have filled the role big time and by so doing they are putting these protesters in defense of the din of the money and. of course. there are many the military council attempted to bribe some of the leaders of the forces freedom and kin through through their proxies in delhi don't they and they have attempted to bring in some to lead you to meet them suspended to kill using some tribal leaders tribal leaders i mean these are the very. this is the very constituency that ormerod bashir has been using for like 50 years and it is the very constituency that has i mean. the. that was put at the disadvantaged by by daily game co-opting it's the that so
2:34 am
the game i mean the military council is not is sticking to its all as a condition the minute it counts it is flame to play with it's the end it's trying to be good to meet it's political it's trying to bribe him some leaders from the if of c. . there are already spoilers 32 played this old. traditional leaders or somebody that's who have been kicked out of the s.p.l. him. so. we need to focus more on bringing the association of professionals these these are the very people who are fairest lid this that evolution now the law has been brought in they have been downplayed their role have been downplayed by the presence of the forces of freedom and change ok and we need they need to stand up to their duty and to lead to provide riyad leadership for the protists that let's us are all about that then is the opposition
2:35 am
suffering from whilst it has unity in power from a lack of leadership from a lack of a strong figurehead or at least a cohesive negotiating team a strong negotiating team to try to work with the transitional military council. so i think when you have such a broad and diverse group of actors soon society groups opposition political parties rebel movements professional associations who have different ways of doing things coming together how marrying out deal with the stablish when you are bound to have difficulties in those discussions and i think one of the things that the opposition group need in order to stay together as a quasi force is a leadership a unifying leadership that speaks for all of them if everybody speaks for themselves and they only come together during the negotiation and i think that makes it very very difficult you know as the guest from doha was saying the
2:36 am
military would of course to do everything it can to divide them to some of the groups in order to get what it wants and i think it's absolutely crucial that they focus on internal cohesion and quite heaton's us an organization to be able to take on the military and i think over the last few days we have clearly seen a pivot if significant people from the military council both internally but also on some regional issues and that suggests that the military council might be considering. you know completely going beyond this to these negotiations and asserting it's all i think it's important for both sides to go back to the drawing table and try and work out not just the kind of deal that is on the table now and i think one of the sticking point from what we know so far is the composition of the military council maybe i think there is ground to explore again what
2:37 am
powers that military council has so you know there are various institutions and i think they can work around you know by i think carrying into some of the argument that i would really be grateful that they could find some kind of balance and i think it's absolutely crucial for was. just to get this do you think i will come to you in a 2nd why do you think that the military in the back of its mind is thinking about what we've seen in the arab world and in north africa in the past i know it's a very sort of lazy comparison to say oh arab spring of 2011 a replay of that i know it's different but still that idea that the protesters could win that idea that people power could win against a military rule that that would worry them wouldn't. no absolutely absolutely i think what we see already in sudan is a replay of the script that was played in in egypt egypt in the sudan.
2:38 am
culturally not exactly the same also politically not the same i think there are various forces within sudan who have been for a very long period of time demanding political autonomy in the 2 countries are very different but also they are close in some ways so that i think the likelihood that the military might be seeking some advise from neighboring egypt is very high but also i think there is the bigger picture the regional rivalry. in my view there are 2 basically 2 major axes in that in this political battle in the middle east on the one hand you have turkey and qatar what i call the turkey qatar axis on the other hand you have the u.a.e. and saudi arabia and the conversation between these forces has been playing out not just in the region but also in the horn of africa and sudan was
2:39 am
a crucial geopolitical states in terms of that battle and both sides have been investing strategic assets for example in sudan and the reason why the universal strategic assets is not for economy purposes there mainly. are safe infrastructures that were created to expanding to strengthen their own strategic foothold so what we see now with the support from saudi arabia and u.a.e. for 4 in terms of the budget for sudan and also the expression by the head of the military council recently supporting saudi arabia i think that also shows that the military is most likely considering very strongly to find a way to stay in power while it how potentially influential are those regional powers do you think i mean it's the same it's the usual suspects saudi arabia u.a.e.
2:40 am
age of taken. you know i think if we go back to history sudan has been in and the globe british condominium broad between. 899-1956 and since then. sudan has not been has not succeeded in escaping the influence of regional parts i mean especially north an elite they were very much affiliated with egypt and you have the bath is affiliated themselves with. iraq and and then near to on opposition the north an opposition who was very much affiliated with the bia but this is the very famous time that we see than in a very blatant manner i mean what's their agenda what is saudi arabia in the in egypt want out of this i personally. think that probably they want
2:41 am
a proxy steer. did that can provide them with. swords you know this. is where you know land can be exploited for i mean to provide food security for those countries in that he don't but i think strategically speaking it's going to affect them it's going to negatively affect them in the future because if you have or august 30th if you have havoc on this or that in sudan. the knack of security in sudan is going to influence the security of egypt it's very much going to influence the security of saudi arabia and if saudi arabia is very much. no it is about the security of israel i even then i mean a rogue state like sudan is going to negatively affect the i mean the safety the security of israel because as the israelis themselves say i mean north i mean port
2:42 am
sudan which is the eastern part of the country is more important to their security than. puts itself. so there are there are somebody serious issues but what i am what i am concerned about is those countries disrupting the political process in sudan if the internal process persists because sudan needs and needs to be given its time and space to much you political eden to some how into a democratic transition we may not necessarily go into a liberal democracy but at least some sort of. democracy and that is going to help them achieve their long term strategic objectives starting to run down the clock is one more item i want to address and that has to do with us al jazeera has you'll know the government decided to shut down our offices there i mean it seems to be a classic sort of play doesn't it try to shut down the media try to shut down the
2:43 am
voices at how concerned you think you about about media freedom i guess. i think again the. again they are not adopting the right tactic i mean even if you have some allegiance to to some group in that region you should then show your bias in a very blunt monitor because again the protesters are very much going saying about some very basic idea that protecting the national sovereignty of the state and i had i hope for one of the guests to have brought out the issue of if you're not not. not receiving well the president of sudan and just sending a 2nd delegation to receive him at the airport the troika the usaid the pressure and the international and that pressure is going to our to be any influence that
2:44 am
any any support or assistance that they might be getting from the condominium estates condominium estates now i call them so that is now under condominium influence in the 3 countries that we know but going back to the whole issue of disease. and defeatists in our defeat this 20 years sudan was very much of. a lie and or affiliated with this islamic axis and. it didn't help us at all as a matter of fact it had it influenced the secession of south sudan because we were not so denecke in our way or thinking and now we are going into this axis and it's going to help decide up the political process because we are a black nation we sudan is multi diverse multi ethnic country it needs to have. to focus more into developing its own i didn't write which pretty much

leans to development in i mean in the material sense but. i just want to leave the final word to just before we run out of time i will work your final thoughts on and while they've made a good point there sudan needs to do this itself doesn't it needs to it's been an organic process up until now and for it to be successful whichever way it happens and needs to carry on that way. i absolutely i think one of the kind of unique features of the sunni through illusion is the fact that it was so organic the protesters organized themselves a very natural process but escalated very quickly and they were successful in terms of overthrowing the share but i think it's very important that instead of looking outside to the international community i think the sudanese are as organized political community that everything that it takes to challenge a military of course a good thing if the international community uphold thoughts and principles african

friday trump threatened to impose tariffs on mexico if it doesn't stop migrants from entering the u.s. in what appears to be an attempt to this fuse the standoff mexico's president has hinted at tighter migration controls and dress money were lopez obrador says also he hopes he won't need to resort to legal action. in. their international options that we could turn to if we think that won't be necessary that we will achieve a good agreement through dialogue and we won't resort to legal processes we want to maintain good relations with the government of the united states so the u.s. is also ending a decades long preferential trade agreements with india and then as of saturday american ports began collecting 25 percent tariffs on several goods coming from china while beijing's retaliatory taxes on $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. products have also come into effect we'll have more on that a little later but 1st developments between mexico and the u.s.

john holeman is in mexico city we'll speak to him in just a moment after we speak to rouse in jordan in washington d c so what more are you hearing from the u.s. aside rosalind. well there hasn't been any comment on saturday about the decision by china to impose its 25 percent tariff on u.s. goods coming into the chinese market but as of friday night the position of the trump white house is this that the mexican government has not done enough to deal with the problem of immigration from central american countries into the united states and that is why the president is intending to impose a 5 percent tariff on chinese made goods coming to the united states starting a week from monday that's june 10th now as we have been reporting the mexican foreign minister is going to be meeting with mike pompei of the u.s.

secretary of state on wednesday and the big question daryn is whether they will be able to broker some sort of compromise on this terror threat tariffs are usually imposed because of some sort of economic dispute between 2 countries not because of some unrelated policy issue in this case the matter of immigration and it's raising a real question daryn among some particularly in europe about whether the trumpet ministration might punish countries that for example aren't paying their 2 percent of annual g.d.p. to support nato operations and retaliation that would be unheard of and it certainly would create a lot of uncertainty in the global economic market ok rosen jordan with an update from washington thank you let's not bring in john home and he's joining us from mexico city so are mexican all forty's optimistic that they'll be able to reach some sort of compromise with the u.s.
2:55 am
to avoid this threat of terrorists. well president lopez obrador has said that he thinks that they can resolve this by talking you heard his sound bite just before then he said that he hopes that he doesn't have to go the legal route and that's because really he's dealing with a far more powerful neighbor in the north that mexico needs to do business with not just in this one instance it needs a good trade relationship in the long term about 80 percent of mexican exports go to the united states so that's how important this relationship is to this country now the foreign minister from mexico is in washington is going to be me and with senior u.s. officials i think what he's going to be saying to them is that the central issue here obviously is about migration president trumps unhappy with the amount of central americans money from honduras el salvador guatemala that it getting through mexico on route many of them to the united states but mexico has actually be doing
2:56 am
quite a lot more than before in the last couple of months to try and crack down on that 80 percent more detentions this april than in april of the previous years and also crackdowns on the amount of humanitarian these is that are being held being handed out to people and also on the caravans being going through so i think that the mexican president and his mother will lopez obrador is going to be hoping that his foreign minister can make that case and that he'll be listened to by the u.s. officials basically he is way of dealing with president trump all the way through the 6 months of his presidency has been non-confrontation he doesn't want to get involved really with any disputes the label for the north not just because of how powerful the united states is but also because he wants to get on with his domestic agenda there's a lot of problems here particularly record levels of violence and the false disappearances all over the country that that's produced 40000 people have
2:57 am
disappeared in mexico over the last more than a decade. this phenomenon and the president is trying to get to terms with that problem we went to sin aloa which is one of the hot lines of organized crime in the country to try and take a look at the problem and how it might be resolved have a look. loose movie is sifting through mud from the bottom of the can now trying to find the remains of his son he's been missing since armed men burst into his house and took him away that was 5 years ago finding pieces of his body is probably the closest to closure. and i know that. my life is gone through a 360 degree spin i don't have peace i can't sleep here waiting for someone to come and tell you is there he was dumped here a 1000 questions were no answers. those questions are being asked by groups of relatives who are scouring the country looking for the 40000 missing for the 1st
2:58 am
time we had the chance to put those questions to a man who admits disappearing people he works for the sin a lower cost i asked him why they hide their big tins the answer he says is simple we're more than without a body there's no crime. nobody knows more than. it's a common belief in the criminal world it's not completely accurate but the lack of a body doesn't make any murder investigation much harder but that's not the only reason gangsters disappear people it's also meant as a warning to kruger we have a saying it's a dodgy business but we play straight so when someone's given a chance to work on his own to sell the product they don't pay their dues we make an example of them and say the other's work rate well the same is going to happen to you oh no but of course many of those who disappear in mexico as simply innocent bystanders that hasn't stopped the gangs from inflicting on thousands of families
2:59 am
and then ending punishment. afterwards when you when you've seen the results for the family how was that made you feel when they're still looking for their lost their lost relative and you know where they are when you know that at least they're dead but you don't tell them i mean how does that feel remorse. it's something that we know was painful for the families sometimes they come in our schools and i know where their relative is but i can't tell them because i'll probably end up just like the victim. maybe you feel better because they could be your friends or people you know but there's nothing you can do. now the government has a new plan to find the disappeared it said unlimited funds will be made available for searching for forensic facilities to identify bodies. but that won't take away the motivation for criminal groups and certain authorities to hide their victims while that remains so too will these desperate search is lost loved ones john home
3:00 am
and i would visit up to the lower. 4 let's go back to one of our top stories we've been telling you about shots fired towards protesters in sudan's capital khartoum let's bring to bring in our shammy she's a sudanese human rights activist she's joining us via skype from washington and even though you're speaking to us from the united states i know you're in touch with people on the ground in sudan what are they telling you about their protest movement right now and how fragile do you think it is at this point. what their spirits of the protests there it's kind of like you un at the moment sometimes the fear like they were strong they had this. and you had them during the strike and they felt that they're united and he can do whatever the command and the control over the process but apparently the way the government is.
