that it is the. type of the drone is called the h m d that was made in the united arab emirates and also the united arab emirates a flag is shown on the wreckage of the drawing we know that. has been involved in supporting the warlords or have to it with fighter jets in fact the united arab emirates has 8 bases in the east of libya which includes several types of fighter jets that have been supporting the warlords or have to in all his battles against his his enemies in libya since 2014 this situation in tripoli means a very tense. war and. it seems that tripoli under this attack has 2 different faces one in the front line one of the fighters in the holy month of fasting do not have many options to fight and try to take a break

a break at the same time but in the city center of tripoli a different face we're young people try to get out of the war all of the tension and their own way. as we approach the front line in southern tripoli. there is silence and uncertainty people have left this area and their homes and shops all ruined by war. a bleak landscape covered by small crumb missiles fired by warlords really for have to the forces to forces loyal to the government in. ains our neighborhood. by sunset it's time for the government forces to perform their prayers as it's ramadan the holy month of fasting they break their fast alongside their fire arms.

they come under fire. and try to fire back the. heat on the battlefield food is usually mixed with weapons in between these fighters take time to chill out get on with. her chanting jokingly against have to. the. car and blaming fighters from the city of god who are now saying they betrayed them by taking have to decide thought all the hope you had that we try to alleviate the tension by just laughing joking and telling personal stories that's how time goes by here but at the same time we're maintaining our location well and are always anticipating a possible counter-attack. time for coffee on a wood fire but as fire light can be spotted by drones they try to hide it.

from government the fighters here. defense fighting could break out at any moment and it's dangerous at night when have jets attack this area but here in the center of tripoli the situation is very different. here in the main square come to enjoy watching the drifting in a country that does not have many entertainment activities drifting has become a way out. it's entertaining but dangerous. i like drifting it's fun i hope all libyans can have fun and get rid of that negative energy caused by the war. it's risky and needs to be organized this should be police here to maintain order. but these young libyans here seem to be fascinated

by the sport this is one of the city's landmarks and if the war gets any closer it could become another battlefield. tripoli. still ahead here on al-jazeera events a cruise ship loses control and crashes that story after the break. how it's slightly set fare for japan over the next couple of days it has some rather wet weather just sweeping across the south of the country but the cloudy skies they're pulling out into the open waters behind this cloud band and some rain metal pole away then so there we go with our sunshine 26 celsius for take here

getting up around 30 degrees therefore so are some wetter weather some cloudy skies rolling across the yellow sea and that will make its way further eastward seppi turning out as it does choose day 28 in seoul so very little can change in those conditions southern parts seeing a little more clear out for japan. dry by this stage but that's the same area cloud that rolls down across the southeast of china and again should be a little dry here over the next couple days 31 celsius in hong kong over the next day was a little on the gray side watery sunshine should we call that southern parts of china seeing some outbreaks of friday as showers spread their way down into vietnam across much of india china and them are into the shower belt there across a good part of southeast asia was probably going to be pushing up across malaysia we want to 2 showers there coming into the philippines very well hot and humid for bangkok where the top temperature of 36 degrees celsius.

welcome back you're watching officer with me sell rommel a reminder of our top stories at least 2 people are being killed and 10 others injured in sudan's capital after security forces opened fire on protesters they've been camped outside the military headquarters for weeks demanding a civilian government. is ready forces of and to the al aqsa mosque compound an occupied east jerusalem that used pepper spray and detained a number of palestinians who were attending prayers at the mosque. and forces loyal to libya's new and recognize government saying they've shot down the drone in southwest tripoli the video appears to show the wreckage of an image of a u.a.e. flag al-jazeera cannot independently verify the footage. though iraq has sentenced 2 frenchmen to death for joining eisel human rights watch have accused interrogators of torturing the men to get a confession let's get the very latest on this from our correspondent charles stratford who joins me now from baghdad to more frenchmen now been sentenced it

makes you wonder what the french have got to say about it. that's right so. these 2 latest french men that have been sentenced to death we believe now bringing the total up to 9 it's important to recognize that under iraqi law they will have a month to appeal from the sentencing against this sentence but of course there are questions over how the french are dealing with this the french of course have been very outspoken globally about the death sentence we've heard so far that there are french efforts to stop these men being executed in iraq but we also understand that there have been high level talks between french and iraqi officials in that endeavor but the french have from the get go always said that they believe that french citizens that joined isis should be tried as they described locally or regionally and we know that there were hundreds of i saw

fighters that were being repatriated to iraq in the in the final stages of the battle against i saw from syria and amongst those fighters we understand there are tens of foreigners and among them around we understand around 14 french citizens one of which was released because of lack of evidence and now as i say this these 2 men bring the total up to 9 that have been sentenced to death the issue of repatriating those that may have fought feisal or happened to be in those conflict zones is up for debate or as you suggest i mean britain has a different opinion france has a different opinion but at the end of the day human rights organizations are very concerned about the way confessions are achieved and the way these cases are brought to court. that's right i mean human rights watch have been very human rights groups have been very critical of iraq's court system big

questions being asked as you say about the the acquiring of evidence on the top human rights watch says that that is very much a normal event in iraq and there are also big international questions and legal questions involved here as well according to international law there can be a transfer of prisoners between states but let's not forget that many of these prisoners were handed over by the s.d.f. now these are u.s. backed syrian democratic forces a kurdish force that were very effective in the battle against eisel many of these men were taken into custody by the s.d.f. and were interrogated by them and of course this draws questions as to you know the transparency the kind of legal process that they that they had available to them in the course of those interrogations and then it was the s.d.f. that handed them with the u.s.

over to iraq so there are a whole host of questions being asked about one of their legality and 2 just how much shimon rights abuses were committee to in this process so also interesting to point out that there seems to be a split between the u.s. and the europeans on how to deal with this issue we've seen president donald trump saying that the europeans should take back those european nationals back to their respective countries who fought for isis abroad whereas there seems to be no unified policy amongst the europeans i think you could fairly sympathize almost with certainly the french public when of course this kind of debate on how to deal with these french citizens is being very much informed by the level of suffering that france him jerde having suffered so many eisel attacks in recent years or for them but we'll leave it there charles thank you charles from there in baghdad. u.s. president donald trump says britain should walk away from the e.u. be prepared to leave with a no deal brecht said its latest comment in

be an excellent prime minister donald trump's words may well also be interpreted as meaning that the u.s. is prepared to cut trading relations and deals with the u.k. post brecht's it but given the ongoing trade wars with china and trade disputes with mexico there are some here that are worried about whether or not the u.k. can really trust trump going forward what's not going to go down very well among some of the established political parties here is trump's suggestion that nigel farage the leader of the newly formed brics it party be involved in any kind of ongoing negotiations with the e.u. going forward the breadth of party don't a significant blow against the leading conservative party in recent european parliamentary elections should we be surprised by trump's intervention ahead of his arrival here to the u.k. possibly not when he was last here last summer ahead of his working visit he suggested that the u.k.

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. while any choice is a military led authority in order to protect society which supports our brothers at the city but it will void the patch it is the only way to get these prices

especially with all the trouble in the neighboring countries as for the army to when saddam to safety i left. you do you know the sit in here is aimed at lobbying for a national unity government when the government says that the sit in here causes harm to the people it is a procrastinator so as now. 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 the high living costs the transitional council was set up by the military with the masses in 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

a cartoon. all right so here's our panel with me in the studio where lead madiba he is the founder and president of the sudan policy forum are 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 a 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 in 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 processes right now there in front of the military council well 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 plugger and that is the see 1000000000 government and only p.p.p. and government this is their demand and they are much more they're not moving a bit from it and they are more so even they are going through hardship of the weather and the fasting their mother and fasting that's still so much strong they are unified and they are determined tomake determined you see that they want for the civilian government. companies and independent justice system to ensure that nobody is over or beyond the low and also maybe 30 people a concrete people there are a continuation of the previous regime and all you know worried are you there is an interruption a well 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

serve as a threat that this could turn violent. let me tell you we have this is a peaceful peaceful evolution it's thinking this angle of peace peace and and this is what it makes it a lot longer and still they are going to use all their weapons on the people you work on and the last one is the t.v. cd and disobedience and that is coming soon and that if it's on you wanted to play you know so it is not a body is like afraid and the u.s. the u.s. 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 let's start with you because you and i were talking before we started the show and you 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. these young men and women are very courageous they 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 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 really placed on what appreciate about 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 nourse any no sign 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 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 well 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 sudan 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 institution and belief by the military that is to belittle is more important than demands for freedom in a democracy is a discourse that has been present is we don't see incidents dependence that's why sudan has been. ruled by military generals but the fact of the matter as boards been highlighting is that stability and security on the one hand and democracy on the other are not mutually exclusive ideas mutually exclusive principles they receive pockley reinforce each as an imperative 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 consider 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 hope you could hear what by fact guest was saying that they have a lot of concerns about the future and about the threat of a confrontation what can the opposition do to try to mitigate that to try to stop there being any confrontation. yes i think that they should all feel 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 a protest to say that we managed to get it all off although she had a right to state for a dictator what state work a few years and if you're not going to be difficult for us we are going to use 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 it seems like. the garbage. 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 they're 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 should have been negotiating on the behalf of the protesters or mediating between the. military transitional military council and the 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 clean through through their proxies in delhi don't they and they have attempted to bring in some. made themselves politically using some tribal leaders believe that i mean these are the very. this is the very constituency that ormerod but he has been using for like 50 years and it is the very constituency that has as i mean. the

that was put at the disadvantaged.
