to have greater influence here in terms of how we see this situation unfolding or ending if it can end at all in the coming hours or days when you have a statement that we've just had released from the military council talking about what the security forces have done in the area they were clearing an area targeting a district called colombia which is adjacent to the city an area which is now being cleared they want to actually continue talking with civil society groups do you think that can actually happen who would civil society really want to talk to after . the events of the last 3 hours. i think it seems to mean that no that either contribution that isn't there a way and i don't think you can have a good anyone dialogue by removing protesters from that very important site which has become the focal scene for protest of years also a very important symbol of the revolution doing that i think undermines confidence

on the part of protesters it also deprives supporters to form one very important i think instrument they have against the military so everything that we see over the course of the last couple of weeks acting suggests that the military is more we disconsolately i think protesters alliance for freedom and change and controlling power as much as as much as it can bed you know practically i don't think this is going to work i don't think it is going to harden positions on all sides when you have violence the likelihood of the parties coming together and reaching in which really a negotiating position would become even more difficult to see what does happen for the moment are all over the electorate in law and kill university in the u.k. thanks so much for joining us. let's take a quick look at how we got to this point must protest that we got in december over

living costs for the military junta to depose president bashir on april 12th he'd been in power for nearly 30 years a transitional council was uncertain but protest leaders were dissatisfied while a must sit in outside army headquarters continued they held talks with the joint to eventually reaching some agreements 6 people were killed in the middle of may when violence broke up there near the protest site demonstrators accuse the army of resorting to tactics used under bush's rule last week the agent of then said that the had become a national security threat it ward action would be taken against what it called an unruly elements that also all. the closure of the al-jazeera media network in khartoum without giving a reason well lead but he is founder and president of the sudan policy forum joins me here on set good to have you with us. very worrying turn of events in the last 3 hours let's just. finish start where we finish with our guest in kill to talk about the fact that now civil society groups. are being offered the chance of talks after

the violence we've seen in 3 hours who would they talk to. emotionally overwhelmed was this i think after having attempted this very serious assault on the civilians i don't think that they're going to have any at the t.m.c. you won't be able to find any genuine. partner from the civic society or from the civic polity a lot of to speak to i think the only pierce on home they may be able to or did we said this is to an who have or i mean being part of the negotiation and the probably must have collaborated this action with him is a saudi going maddi or some people from soft soft landing is throughout the year i don't know about yes or ottoman mini but there are 2 groups who are part of.

the forces of freedom and king who are very lenient who is the t.m.c. with the transition in military council and it's not it's not surprising that yesterday night i was. the ask me about has been omar the omar party pulling its tent from the mass sit in and to me that was a very clearly just that they have already received assurances from the team see that they are going to have a deadline and they are going to commit an assault otherwise why would the only party and that they need that. people for saw the comedy movie it's thin in an untimely manner i think it's a very timely action that they have decided to pull the tent out of the sit in so something there is being called something the it is being called aberrated with some political and civic leaders but definitely not the leaders who are very credible to the protesters. who have

a moved off of they had some sort of inside information perhaps where does this leave the transitional military council in terms of how either firm becoming or how intransigent intransigent to change. an important question. it's c c it's one thing shooting individuals in the street it is another shooting the moral consciousness of the so the nice people of this military go into obviously i mean they are being led by. him a t. who is not taken heed officer and who is just adopting our dated methodology to dealing with the public he has never dealt in a civic manner with any but with any public so the ironic thing to me is that they are moving they're not moving under any ideological

or political amberleigh they are just doing this in a typical media manner killing people thinking that they are just going to suppress their consciousness and move on to doing day to day business just providing petrol providing bread importing wheat from saudi arabia and it's not going to work because the people realize that sudan's problem. can only be solved in a political democratic manner what have brought us to this is the. is is the military rule the autocratic rule of all moral bashir and this this could never lead to any political settlement without a political settlement sudan's economic problems cannot be resolved needless to say do any development indeed what we're seeing now or screen people demonstrating coming out onto the street these are professionals association had called for mass

demonstrations across the country despite what's happened in khartoum and the firing of the injuries that sudanese individuals are experiencing this is exactly what the military does not want to say protest very brilliant a very courageous decision on part of the association of professional association of professionals should not have affiliated themselves with the rest of the group in the if of c. from the very beginning people trust the association of professionals but when the spoiler's way of brought in to be part of the forces of freedom and change the whole thing again and see the transition in military council it started getting some conflicting messages so this is the right moment and this is a moment. to which they are not prepared of just this mission to you that they cannot shoot the moral consciousness of the sudanese some important of the protests

like this then it's very important. at the beginning they realize that they thought by us kicking people out of the sitting area that might influence change in the whole political scene and they're very very stupid the they were very dummy in the in the sense that they're very dumb in the sense that you know the whole nation is that involved and what do you do about this. send in a nuclear bomb or what is it that you're going to do the next thing we're going to have a civic a strike and it's going to be across the whole nation that's that's what i mean by saying that. the move they took such a blunt. without having any strategic vision in place what is the red line for the military that will not be crossed when it comes to dealing with civilians when i spoke to our correspondent $100.00 a little while ago he talked about the fact that it was junior officers that were the precursors to the coup that removed bashir i mean. how many civilians have to

die or be shot or not before the military or some of the military say no we can't keep doing this to our own people. is that our consciousness because you say that you know the senior military have had no civil interaction with the public at large what 30 years has been a military dictatorship i think vali was very right in the sense that we know i mean political scientists make a differentiation between totalitarian an authoritarian the games from the very beginning. i was very i was very conscious to the fact that i sit in on a civic historic is not going to take a totalitarian regime out of its place they're not going to it's not going to help remove the regime but it's going to board enough pressure on the key players that one of them has to move against the others and in that case it's going to be doing your officers from the military because up until this moment the army has it been

part of the whole process it's the security council that was formulated by omitted to take care of all matter but she is personal safety but it was not a security council in this instance it had duty is to take care of the security of the whole nation so the army itself is very bitter to the art of mr responsibility has been overtaken by a danger we had many shia and that is just very degrading it is just affecting the dignity or discipline he's carried offices it is an interesting set of scenarios that we will have to follow very closely with thanks so much for joining us. well ruben is a political activist she's joining me now on the phone from in or just outside of khartoum good to have you with us on the telephone if it's safe enough for you to tell us where are you exactly and what can you see.

all right now we are. not was. there anything that caused the street. 7 and those that already. a that. are on their way here well i don't. in terms of in terms of the call to come out on to the streets and demonstrate by the sudanese professionals association if you've heard that call what are people around you saying about joining in the demonstrations of the one. true or however long that. everyone is that are happening. they're trying to. do right

by all the lives that were lost. well for the moment but we will leave it to continue to follow events out of sudan in the coming hours. we'll to other news now donald trump has just landed in the united kingdom for a 3 day state visit the u.s. president's trip includes an audience with her majesty queen elizabeth the 2nd and d.-day commemorations sarah believes he's also expected to discuss climate change and the chinese technology. way during a meeting with the outgoing prime minister theresa may. lots going on in the u.k. lawrence lee will and pick it for us live from london and of course this trip is not short really lawrence of controversy. well no

you know the thing about state visits is they're always choreographed within an inch of their lives really so we know in great detail what president is going to be doing and what his movements are as you say just landed north of london he's staying at the american ambassadors house a huge place in regent's park and then he's coming here buckingham palace to meet the queen meeting some of the royals going to westminster abbey to lay a wreath in the state banquets this evening but there are a landmines really all all over the place meghan markle the duchess of sussex as she is now said before trump became the american president that she might move to canada. if he became president so she's not going to meet him she's staying at home with her with her new baby there's the potential for a round with prince charles when trump meets him over over climate change and number of leading politicians have boycotted the state banquets. and that's even before the politics starts with with the outgoing prime minster to resume

a on on choose day and just to add to it all as he was landing in the air force one president trump tweeted that in his opinion the mayor of london city car who was really really outspoken about president trump describes so they can as a stone cold loser who should concentrate on fighting crime on the streets of london and so even though state visits are supposed to be full of pomp and ceremony and politics in some senses plays a back seat it isn't like that at all with this president and no it's not like any other president to you might say it to fear in the affairs of another country but he certainly is when it comes to bricks it. yeah i mean if in fairness to donald trump he isn't the only presidents who've done that i mean when when barack obama was president he intervened in the brics a debate before the referendum saying that if the u.k. voted to leave then it would be bottom of the queue for a trade deal with the united states because because obama wanted the the us e.u.

relationship to continue with the u.k. in its trunk very much see it as an opportunity for the united states to have have a trade deal and so he's already given interviews over the weekend saying that he wants the next prime minister good to be boris johnson the forefront secretary who's a controversial figure he likes national nodule faraj very much the head of the brics it's parsi you know clearly the americans see opportunities in brics it particularly for buying up sections of the prize british national health service which is an extremely toxic thing for the american administration to say because the last thing i think that the politicians in this country would want even those who want the u.k. to leave the european union is the idea that parts of the health service might get sold off to the americans but you know this this is how donald trump plays things and clearly when the most embarrassing thing i think on tuesday is going to be when he gives a news conference with the reason why he's only going to be prime minister until

the end of the week and she's going to have to sit there next to him while he feels questions from reporters asking who he wants to be the next prime minister and a what they want to do and so it is it is sort of extremely strange set of affairs where you know donald trump is meeting a prime minister who is it was out of office at the end of the week and talking to her about things over which she has absolutely no control and he's calling the shots certainly a very eventful day about to unfold for you and for us on al-jazeera lots will be following events with you later thanks very much. well 6 months into his administration mexican president and the us manuel lopez obrador is struggling to curb the wave of violence in the country overall says he wants to fight crime with social programs of the low need to lift people out of poverty but prevent at risk young people and unemployed adults from and bring up an organized crime algis there is money as the latest in all series on overdose 1st 6 months in office.

in the mountains a very crude mexico 29 year old making the met meet as is tending to a cornfield she was able to get her own agricultural project off the ground with the help of a government subsidy part of a series of new social programs created by the federal government this specific program is aimed at lifting rural farmers out of poverty but also aims to pay young people to learn a new trade. in the home it's true that young people want everything fast they want easy money they think everything in life is easy in this life nothing's easy you have to work so if the government wants to give us a hand then let's get to work with. the state of it produce where miguelina lives has a high level of violence there were $682.00 homicides reported in the state in just the 1st few months of the year nationwide violence is on the rise and spreading to otherwise peaceful parts of the country president and this monday locus of another hopes his social programs for young people will work as a deterrent against crime in mexico city we spoke to 3 teenagers who are enrolled

in a government scholarship program they've experienced the violence firsthand and believe the newly formed social programs will have a positive impact on deterring future criminals me when they get the big and believe me robbers are common where i live murders are common gunshots at night are common and if the government can reduce the number of people becoming involved in crime slowly everything else will fix itself. financial assistance to young people as a strategy for crime prevention is certainly a novel idea for the country but mexico is already on track to surpass last year's record setting homicide rate and not everyone seems convinced the social programs are working honest also you know when we're talking about public funds in a country with cities that have series and security issues where records of violence continue to be broken it's not about how much money you give a person. in the case of impoverished farmers and very crews there does appear to

be a high expectation from the president's initiative even if the results aren't immediately visible this is one of the 1st fields that was planted by farmers with assistance from the government it'll still be several months before the corn can be harvested perhaps the same could be said about seeing the benefits of a program that goes beyond a government handout but gives rural farmers it renewed incentive and desire to work the land went up a little. bit across mexico. at least 5 people have been killed in a top story and many more injured in saddam enough to heavily armed troops opened fire on demonstrators in the capital khartoum witnesses say violence began when troops tried to break up a protest compound side the military justice headquarters one protester in the capital has made a personal appeal to security forces to protect the protesters i'm not going to promise we're not for the military to fire live round bullets on the protesters and

on our nation and you stand and watch this is the scene i can't even describe our people came to this square for a sit in because this is our country and it's cowardly for you to watch this happening and do nothing we're calling on the security forces to move without instruction from their seniors do something about this to protect this nation to protect our people we will not go back we will not give up. i don't think that this peace will sit in isn't protected the nation stands with us we will not leave our beloved country to be run by corrupt people this is our country and we will have a democratic future do not give up or lose hope the military had a history of protecting the sudanese people don't let us down. on these a lot of shots coming out of car to the sudanese professionals association appeals to civil society across the country to come out on to the streets to show that

anger peacefully at the transitional military council more on this to stay with us i was there. as politicians in washington the fight over the border wall we talked to the people at the center of the story many of then just said oh no it's very dangerous because somebody comes up there and it's not it's a very safe place migrants smugglers and people who live along the border talking to all just 0. digital technology companies in terms of these men and women not. even in teaching the use of cash you know she's you know. it seems to stop and mention. in which everything in our lives trees. and. that is convenient for profit and so they may be only he's. going to leave us get our chum

tech job. i mean. one rep people do not want to. be. oh that's us. the problem with this but it seems that sometimes i don't really adjust for the no comfort zone but i just have some kind of i'm dumb time zone which is half way between when i was an area. child. comes in the news. but not very early on was awfully good of.

the way that they're all it's all based ok so neither do i have your little tour de. only ones with these guys really he crossed us with me go oh yeah you are one of the. rudest people all. they have all the numbers or people who know the realities in reality this would know us you all get. to be friends we strive for at least protocol the 2 you know which does especially the access to being able to build we do tommy's we don't really having to go to 5 years the legal atomics. i'm going to show you how to melt and electronic silence that basically 1st thing you need is an arduino microcontroller you need the

arduino code which essentially it's a computer inside one single chip doesn't have a screen doesn't have much but it can build things with some so it's. one of the early communities that jumps on all receive feeling all sorts of musical interfaces for computers then there was a lot of these but active use the lucian's of the baltics. people said to use a 1000000000 of the. the 1st open source of growth. was the 1st open source 3 d. printer. people said to go and see a look at this project for it's great i like you. know what. you guys were just in north from tustin nor you have what looks like a whole bunch of little tiny boards there mostly arduino microcontrollers so what arduino is is a open source hardware that you can use to write software that interacts with the

real world when you're holding your hand is an arduino mega it's the big one right now that have these little chips that are microcontrollers. beat me because of the typical computer you will find for example in the microwave over simple terrible stuff so it's not using that we realize that a lot of software and hardware was a baby with an open source license we want to something that you could build yourself if you wanted to it would be to make it cheap you need to cost like a pizza so i stuff to develop what became of the wheel. what happened is that at the same time that we start to become a little bit where known the maker movement started to. look at the very. places that make a fair shed and we are writing to me this is making the robot which is that

kind of maker faire not even the kind of hornet have it so big. the maker faire is an event that was started 10 years ago as a way to get the makers to get together and show what they were doing showing projects. what are you what. you know you see it with the wheat i thought it was all right. liquid identify yes but what i feel for wall street on a video on a quality on a week out identify. all that's pretty cool that project is why i think this thing they could make that souls mold or you can put it in. a regular glossary you know you can use it for a lot of different that's an interesting project so basically we made a bunch of the any good lot of these one is like the kids can change the drawing on

the fly and you get the fact that you know is very nice cool is that my people feel the you can get shot on it the bigger picture from the pound night and sent it over here and we know then and we painted on the. i like you know all the only engineer for children grand forks do that if the song. i. thought was. a feature of the real scotty maybe the media is out to. buy the software that runs up to reno gets downloaded at one sitting for a 2nd. what's happening right now is pretty simple. technologies pervading every aspect of that

lot. at the moment that he's this perception that the can all just something you buy what's on the shelf but you know wait if you look at the supermarket and it would only be pre-cooked food and you wouldn't be able to buy some fresh programs to cool then you would find that the world was not a free world you know you would have why what i thought to get canned soup already went in technology in a way now you go to a shop and. there are yes 25 different types of tablets but effective they're all doing the same thing so what if you decide that you want to do a different outlet or you don't want to do something else then you need to be able to sit down and think about it and maybe build a different one. i think if. i knew what is this is in for a sensor versus the this wire is it. in my undergraduate

education that i i learned like a postman and i figured out that doing things with commercial is not fun actually i got the idea of the maker when they had english in berlin and i was no more on that . right now than we made the woman in china is likely just. my god. that was. a big party and there is one requirement you have to have that object that you never really. care for that act like so yesterday for about none yet i think over something else when i stopped off as a kid i was very interested in understanding go to school one christmas my parents gave me as a present this kid who was a kid to learn about electronics he could build the circuit so if you make 7 you

would stick the stage to put together the disk you plug in on. you put your phone and then suddenly you hear voices you're like wow i just be the radio so those are very important for me because you want to stand that the chronology is not as complicated as you think it is. nice collar bone. but this is where you're on your own. let's say i want to build something that tells me when i got too much sometimes you know i'm at the seaside and i have to be careful otherwise i beg i could take a bus is a little component because there might be this other component. which is a light sensor. so constantly. when the month of life. and then you're putting your.

every hour. if. you. take over. so we said to people who want to build a project the 1st thing you do open one of our examples you just have to copy. all my dog. blinks in a different way i don't know why. so you start to create the connection between what you see on the screen what's happening in the real world.

and. point of view. but the only way to. build stuff. that project that. comes from another project to somebody and they became that became that. important that these 2 other people made that. essentially step number 5 of $25.00 and at the end of the line there may be

a very relevant thing that comes out of. that. hydrogen explosion has occurred at unit 3 of the hamster can put the shame on daiichi nuclear plant. and japanese authorities have ordered people within a 12 mile radius of the plant to remain inside more than 180000 people have been evacuated from the area. this is to be hoped though you can feel this is to be hoped though. that people who they used to have here they cannot come back here anymore because all.
