you will continue to follow the situation there in khartoum as well as the other cities in sudan that have been under a crackdown by the military leadership after months of protests send as you can imagine lots of international reaction to these developing developments in sudan rather diplomats in sudan themselves have been reacting to the actions of the military joined the us embassy in khartoum saying that the attack on protesters and civilian does wrong and must stop it says the responsibility for stopping the attack lies with the military council while the british ambassador to khartoum says there is no excuse for any such attack or let's bring in why leave mediæval now he is the founder and president of sudan policy forum he joins us on the news before we get into the international reaction and what the international community can do after this violent crackdown by the military in sudan. were you expecting this

level of violence we knew this was going to happen somehow because they had been warnings by the military in recent days but did you think it would be this bad. expected this as a matter of fact yesterday night i spoke with the baker. and i was it was very clear to me just looking case history and the record of the danger we in and the kind of atrocities that they have committed in therefore i think those people who have influenced the killing of half a 1000000 human beings they won't feel reluctant at all in killing at least $55.00 thousands in khartoum so just looking at the case history looking at the assurances that they made us received from. international players it's very obvious that. he himself saying that you know a c.v. and draw may not be may not help to stabilize the country in the near future so if

you look at those 3 different aspects it was very clear that they were in the process of is collating break the tension as we heard from our eyewitness a short while ago outside the royal hospital in khartoum he said it was a rapid response forces that were surrounding the hospital and not the military you talked about the militia as well notorious obviously for their role in the conflict in darfur how did they get involved in this particular crisis why is it that the jan to read are the ones leading this crackdown this is this is a brilliant question i think. some one is is is playing dimity himself into the he's being played into the hands of the islamist. officers mainly i would say salaam or others who are already expired 3 hits or citizens so that he citizens in saudi arabia the he is in the

process or beginning his own car they would want him to take you know the blame for what they're. happens and soon as he is he has become the obvious i mean the most important the most wanted individual and the most hated it. officer obviously has not taken heed officer but he would be hated by the population he would be hated by the military itself because so he is being used as a pawn you're saying salute and the next is what i have just said that not the whole military is united behind this crackdown not not a single one i am just saying that there are only few officers who are part of the transition and military council who have been co-opted i mean if you look at the record of one himself he was part of the genocide committed in that for us part of the war the war in yemen so the corporation process is started some time

ago. and himself is is. no longer represents the military it's he's just part of the military council so we need to make that distinction between the military as an institution and the transition in military council which is just a modified version of the security council the national security council that was in charge of protecting. the sheet and ensuring his own safety so these are 2 different that's a very interesting and i think now politically. committee and i would say committee of. the whole council is done with. and the country is going to run into some sort of a political vacuum because there's no way that they can they can shoot individuals but they cannot shoot the moral consciousness of the sudanese people. the military

council spokesman. issued a statement saying that they will send an invitation to the political parties to resume dialogue that they hope to continue the political dialogue with the forces for freedom of change you know that's a blatant lie i think he he doesn't mean it he is just starting to say that we we we don't mean to have done this but they have done it in. i can find all sorts of just occasion for the. forces but i can find it just a vacation for her to allow himself to be played in the hands of said that they're dangerous groups that inflate infiltrated the protesters at the main sit in and that's why they they went ahead with this crackdown to justify they don't survive. the store till garbage because they themselves the transition and military council

. forces being an integral part of it they are of the old come of this or that they cannot be in charge over restoring order bringing. civilian rule to so that they themselves are part of an outcome of this or that ok . walid if the timing also of this crackdown is fairly interesting happening just a few days after the military leadership traveled to the u.a.e. saudi arabia as well which have pumped millions of dollars into sudan central bank now we talked about the western reaction we saw we seen the tweets from the u.s. ambassador and the british ambassador to sudan but is there anything really that the west can do here to put more pressure on the military on the ol eyes of the military i.e. saudi arabia and the u.a.e. to rectify the situation i personally. that the money was not pumped into the

central bank it was they got what they say. those of those officers sitting in the transition and military council but given the situation today in washington and in the white house i think. there's no way that the united states i mean the congress has already made a very important stand but if you look at the secretary over state. it. tom is just using an outside wire through. he's bypassing the whole the whole institution it's of the american institution and i think that must have already given assurances to his allies in the region he's just telling them that do whatever it needs to be done. just going to thin

a blind eye the way we've done it in so many incidents or anybody one last question before we let you go. crackdown does this signal perhaps the beginning of the end of the revolution because even if they say the protesters say well continue asset in the risk is that they will get killed what happens this is the beginning of the revolution this is the 2nd estate see the ferry system you we were very much deceived into thinking that. our allies now the whole the whole nation realizes that they these people have to go but the point that we're not taking into account we are looking into the axis of the arab world we are totally ignoring the african the african continent. if sudan gorse in becomes rogue is the that's going to affect the safety and the security of the whole sudan it build and this is what the europeans might be. affected with so it's the europeans

now who should. meticulous turn point very clear to. make it very clear to go in to accept such a behavior the americans. being physically influence was done going into the spirit of disorder. thank you very much for joining us thank you for your insight one need my dbil is from the sudan policy for. 20 more head on this al-jazeera news hour including missing and the report on what is described as a canadian genocide plus how is social program in mexico aims to pour young farmers out of poverty and down on crime and neymar returns to training with brazil after denying allegations of rape joe we'll have the details in sports leagues. now and to other world news and donald trump has arrived in britain for

a 3 day state visit the u.s. president's trip think not ian's with the queen elizabeth the 2nd and also d.-day commemorations is already a sponsor controversy ahead of a visit with his recommendations on breaks it and who should replace prime minister terry samee let's speak to him and beg who is a professor at the european institute of the london school of economy trade is awful old obviously going to be one of the big issues on the agenda for donald trump how special would you say the relationship is today between the you can us when it comes to the question of trade and how do you see changing post-tax that. i think the relationship between the united kingdom and the united states is very special from the perspective of the british side and slightly special from the perspective of the american side who say ok we who we're trying to be nice to you would expect particular favors from us whether it's our own trade or anything else

not trump himself keeps promising a trade deal with the u.k. because he's very keen to encourage britain to go for a hard break said as we see from many of his comments and he says he will ensure that trade deal happens quickly what that assertion fails to take account of is the fact that other interlocutors in the united states particularly congress are very slow in making trade deals the president can do it unilaterally in the way trump would like to be able to he wants to do it we are doing his terms so britain should not be too optimistic it will happen quickly and so what do the british want then the u.s. ambassador to the u.k. spock's controversy area this week when he suggested that the u.k. would need to allow u.s. count agricultural products on the u.k. market a spot of any post breaks a trade deal as well as a u.s. find it sector involvement in the n.h.s. this hasn't gone down very well what does the u.k. want out of this trade relationship. well i think it's

a once what any partner would want from a treasure lation ship which is mike so my access to the partners' markets in this case the united states but to the limits of the partners access to your market it's all a negotiation and as you say the things like the national health service in the u.k. is such a timing and significant part of the british way of life that we do not want as brits to have american health care providers coming in and trying to compete our socialized health care system has also been a big issue around so-called chlorinated chicken which the americans want to export but which europeans regard and british also regard as being beyond the pale not something you know we want to be eating. the other contentious issue of course ses while way the u.s. as you know has blacklisted the chinese firm for security reasons while the u.k.

is considering allowing while way to supply components for its our 5 g. network. how do you see that evolving at that aspect of the relationship but there's clearly a huge pressure from the security side of the u.s. administration to restrict y.y. in the u.k. the u.k. doesn't really believe that there is a security threat that the americans are identified and things that huawei is doing good things in this development of the backbone infrastructure for the 5 g. networks i wherever there is this cloud hanging over huawei which is the chinese law which of largest companies to cooperate with the state. repeatedly denies that it's nice doing this but you can't get away from the pressure from the americans so i think teresa mayes going to be told repeatedly by the un donald trump during this visit you must look while way you must lock away and the british side will be saying well we don't want to because we believe that so it's it's that it's

a source of tension. and beg thank you very much for speaking to us ian bogost from the london school of economics joining us there from london thank you for your time qatar's foreign minister has told on jazeera he has reservations about the statements on iran that came out of some is held in saudi arabia last week the qatari prime minister attended the events despite the ongoing blockade of qatar by 3 of its gulf neighbors including saudi arabia it was the highest level of contact between the 2 sides since the crisis began 2 years ago. and also because we had reservations about many parts of the statement these elements include 1st issue of only condemning iran and the escalation against in the absence of any more policy to engage in dialogue with iran or to solve the challenges which could exist in the relationship between the gulf states and iran or between the arab states and iran on another site we have the adoption of the american policy towards iran respect the american policy towards iran but it is different from our policy from the

caribbean and the statement also mentioned the united goal whereas the night of the gulf war we have 3 gulf states blockading another gulf state whereas the united go through are we deceiving or people with such a statement. after more than 2 years of inquiries the canadian government is set to receive a report on missing and murdered indigenous women the report's already been leaked and it calls the disappearance and murder of possibly thousands of women a canadian genocide shabba tansey spoke to some of those affected by the violence about what they hold the inquiry will achieve. i guess i wouldn't sister sonia was murdered in 1904 yet she had so little faith in the national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and girls she chose not to testify families monitor the. police killings that had taken place investigated they wanted their missing brought home so those kinds of things are never able to be more not able to have been answered with this inquiry and it's not that they haven't been calls for

a specific investigation into the disproportionate violence directed at indigenous women in canada just 4 percent of the population but 16 percent of reported nationwide homicides justin trudeau followed through on his campaign pledge announcing inquiry and 2015 and the inquiries goal was not simply long awaited official recognition of decades of brutality the work that we're going to be doing research and care systemic causes for at the murderess and just the parents after 2 and a half years and $68000000.00 it appears that the inquiry will basically state the obvious the problem lies in the economic and social marginalization of indigenous communities institutional racism violence and indifference to the all out quite overt cultural war waged against the indigenous by the canadian states hilda allison pitts assistant dormice found dead in 2011 her body badly bruised but

authorities blamed exposure due to intoxication like many she's critical of how rushed the inquiry seemed as it parish it into communities without building trust and asked for painful testimony in an institutional setting reminiscent of the judicial system that attacks the indigenous nonetheless she found testifying to the inquiry worthwhile for many they never shared their story with anybody prior to the national inquiry coming forward and they felt they could take their story and leave it there and move forward in their healing process hilda is skeptical but feels it's a disservice to all those who like her shadow. truth to dismiss the possibility that the inquiry will lead to meaningful change just getting this message out is an achievement i think it's really important. to recognize that many indigenous women and girls who live in 1st nations 1st nation communities are living in 3rd world conditions but while few will dispute the reported findings of the inquiry some wonder what good any recommendations will be if the federal and provincial

governments are the ones expected to be in charge of implementation is so colonial government executing to a clown all governments and that is the reason why we have missing and murder it's genocide canada is not the only country built on colonial violence genocide as the inquiry has reportedly found but the government does have yet another opportunity to address that legacy on monday. if you moments we'll have the wild weather with ken and still ahead on the al-jazeera news hour we speak to young former vigilantes in nigeria hope took up arms against. casts will be in a remote part of pakistan to explore what's believed to be the world's largest sports and raw talent shows off his acrobatic skills in me and the last to have a nice house in.

the west and sponsored by the time. in recent weeks we've been talking about the heat that has been the big problem here in india that he wave conditions where temperatures were going 45 degrees or higher in some areas it's also the drought particular down here towards the south now pick up some clouds i'll talk about the monsoon in just a moment but i want to take you to tell manado and show you what's been happening down there how they have been dealing with the drought i want to show you the video of the very guy river that people rely on the laundrymen in a lot of women most of them are dealing with a dried up river right now getting very very difficult conditions to do their job so it's been a hard condition harder area that they've been dealing with but over the next few days the good news is the monsoon is coming into play now the monsoon is late right now probably about 10 days late normally this time of year for june 3rd this is the

placement of where the munch monsoon should be but if you take a look at where it is right now you can see it's all the way back here passing through parts of men more and then just now making its way through parts of sri lanka so we expect this to be pushing through bring some relief bring those temperatures down as well you can see we expect to see more clouds in the area temperatures are coming down into the mid thirty's and then as we go towards the next couple days that moisture begins to move towards the north and we're back down into the high thirty's as well. sponsored. it's my privilege to name al jazeera english the broadcaster of the year the country has a fight each other that we've been told that we can still hear these is the largest demonstration that's been held by will come to refugees since over $700000.00 additional dear some of the nurses who sits on the planet earth here for them to think of it could be plus that here. are english proud recipients of the new crystals called costa of the year award for the sake of allah.

a reminder of our top stories at least 9 people have been killed and many more are seriously injured after heavily armed troops opened fire on demonstrators ensued don witnesses say the violence began when troops tried to break up a protest camp outside the military justice headquarters in the capital khartoum a protest leaders have called for a general strike and nationwide civil disobedience until the giunta is overthrown new barricades have been set up in towns and cities across the don the ruling giunta say they will send an invitation to the protesters to resume negotiations and donald trump has arrived in britain for a 3 day state visit he's already sparked controversy with his recommendations on breaks it and who should replace to reset may. let's speak some more about trump's visit to the u.k. to laurin sydney who joins us now live from london he's outside buckingham palace nauruans as we've said a visit packed with palm ceremony and controversy even before it began tell us 1st

what's on the agenda and what we're expecting. well the agenda is really simple it's what lies behind the agenda follow there's always that was that was the problem he's now at the american ambassadors residence up in the huge place just just north of here he's juicer meet the queen in just just over an hour from now and have lunch with her then he's off to westminster abbey to lay a wreath of the tomb of the unknown soldier the soft moon having tea with prince charles and then there's a state banquet in the evening and then there's some politics tomorrow with stories of may so you would think well what's what's what's the problem with all that every single bits of that has got a controversial elements. attached to it when it meets the royals for example make an markel the duchess of sussex who said that she should move to canada or trump became president she's not going to be there she's decided to stay home when he

meets prince charles the suggestion is that he prince charles is an environmentalist might take trump on about about climate change the state banquet tonight several leading opposition politicians are refusing to turn up their boycotting it's twitter is now there's an absolute pile on on twitter of opposition politicians saying this state visit should never be happening in the 1st place and as he was landing is plain even before you go self he was present troubles on twitter denouncing the mayor of london city carm who's a longtime critic of trump's describing sidique khan as a loser you know that i mean there are supposed to be protocols actually state visits is all full of diplomatic niceties you know countries which get along with each other cementing their relationships and yet you know the british i think are finding this really quite difficult to walk and i support it is for them it's just full of little landmines along the way and he is saying. what is going to be a very busy week lawrence for british politics how does breaks it play into all of

this. well you know i mean when they will this obviously they they couldn't possibly have known that this was going to be the last week of stories a. prime minister she's only staying on this week for there to be a prime minister it suits a great 7 and a lot of us are but what they're going to hold talks tomorrow you heard your guest earlier on talking about. spying and things like that but brecht's it just overwhelms everything and obviously trump knows that whatever they do talk about to do with trade deals tomorrow is going to be a new prime minister a leader of the conservative party by july who will have a different agenda on bret's it suits her reason maisons of the front runners in that are all people who agree with trump and say that the u.k. should just leave the european union and then forge on with a trade relationship with the u.s. absolutely at the top of that and so when trump says that's what you should do then it all sounds quite good but you know the there are a lot of people here who say that it's

a trump is much more interesting meeting the queen anyway than talking about trade deals because it plays to his ego in the optics in the united states and be the reason why his interest in a trade deal is not what the u.k. could get out of a relationship but with the u.s. but what the u.s. could get out of a trade relationship by importing food which doesn't make european health standards into the u.k. trying to bypass the national health service which is publicly funded these sorts of things are so deeply controversial that even politicians who support the prime minister already backpedaling very fast and saying we can't possibly involve the national health service in any future trade deal so everywhere there are sticking points in terms of this business and we'll be following this visit with you of course know and live for us in london thank you returning now to our main story this hour on al jazeera and the crackdown in sudan on protests as let's just remind you of how we got to this point today the mass protests in sudan began in december

over living costs and then they forced a military jury dead today poll is president. i share on april 12th has been in power for nearly 30 years a transitional council was set up but protest leaders weren't satisfied sitting outside army headquarters continued they held talks with the military council but failed to reach any agreement now 6 people were killed in the middle of may when violence broke out near the protest site demonstrators accuse the army of resorting to tactics used under bashir stroll last week the june said the camp had become a national security threat it warned action would be taken against what it called unruly elements it also ordered the closure of the al jazeera media network in khartoum without giving a reason well it's now speak to highly doubt bay who is a sudanese cartoonist and political activist who joins us from copenhagen in denmark thank you very much guys for being with us certainly a worrying change of events things escalated very quickly in sudan in these last

few hours what is your reaction to the events there and do you think this is a turning point in the revolution. yes it's very unfortunate. condolences of course to all the. way and we still don't even know how many they are. and yes this will be this will be a very. he which turn of events in terms of what what does the military expect to do after doubt i mean normally once things like this happen like you saw what happened at all by egypt it's you know it's it's it's so before it there's a lot of for gonda saying that the states ins are full of drunk drug lords and there's aren't that stairs and so on a novel there's didn't it didn't take that full circle that people are with the end of the army on this not doing this it's and you know in bloody way so i think what happened now is that it's maybe the office of what the army sought it's

the whole people are united again against it jumped up and everybody is not all in the same sign so it's very unfortunate what happened but it's i think it's i think it's this is going to be a great turning point for their evolution but the risk now is that they will be more bloodshed i mean the protesters are calling for a civil disobedience campaign they want people to continue that demonstrations but the risk is that the crackdown when it will be even more brutal what what what will be the point of that. we have nothing else what what can we what what can we put us through to do what kind of activists do well what kind and what kind of the association of confessionals do you know i'm not saying we have we're only calling for peaceful protesters and peaceful ways of changing the government and this is the only thing. that could work is civil disobedience and because we just we don't want you do not want things to turn violent even though this is what the military

seems to be going on. what do you say to those who say that the demands of the protesters for an immediate transition to a civilian will wind the mistake that expects the which has been in power so full for so many decades in sudan to give off just like that was not when let's take and that this wasn't going to achieve anything at all what do you say to them this it was the only way that we make these demands realistic this is the only way that we can say that we are still here and this is all work demands i mean are not leaving until we have a civilian government there was you know not realistic of course is not realistic because of because of what's happening in the region i mean the protesters are there alone the peaceful protesters are there alone. and it turns transitional military council has of the regional powers behind it and obviously they ones

around the last few months going into international visits and getting greeted by international by by other leaders in the region basically asking for support and i personally think this is the giving them to go ahead to do to dismantle. the protesters were alone but what about the political opposition the sudanese political opposition where are they in all of this. this is political so there is opposition because they're sitting there after the. political opposition demanded that we everybody stand there was united under freedom and changing movement ok thank you khalid for speaking to us is a sudanese cartoonist and political activist joining us there from copenhagen thank you for your time now to nigeria when you 2000 former child vigilantes have returned to their homes in the northeast the united nations says some of the children took up on the help the army find an allegation officials deny hundreds of
