to medical facilities at the hospitals of burning down tents in the city city the area they've also claimed that they want to see a rapid return to negotiations i think however that the events of the last day really represent a very serious escalation of the situation and a setback to efforts to achieve a peaceful settlement a peaceful political stuff about the would have brought stability to saddam which i'm sure is what all the neighbors would like to see. the i very much agree with with the statement by michelle bachelet the u.n. high commissioner for human rights who described the protests as inspirational i think we've we've we've seen these over the last 5 or the months the protesters remaining completely peaceful. be the model of nonviolence resistance. all democracy is who have liberal values would want to get behind them it's also
3:01 am
enjoys very broad support across the whole spectrum sudanese society and whatever. else but what about the protesters as you say what we're hearing from the western countries from the e.u. are simply just words and what they want and what they're asking for is more pressure to be applied on regional allies off the military gentile countries like saudi arabia and the united arab emirates who as we know have pumped millions of dollars into don since the uprising began well. i think that what we're hearing from the forces of freedom and changes they want the african union and the u.n. security council to adopt resolutions to devolve to an immediate transfer of power . from the military council to a democratic civilian government led by the forces of freedom and change so i mean
3:02 am
i think that is the message that is being given by the protest movement to the international community that includes countries in the gulf and for those countries as i said who want to see have an interest in stability in sudar those are very important country in the region so what happens next on the ground because if there's a freedom and change have now declared the end of negotiations with the military council there also declaring a civil disobedience campaign what do you make of that strategy for them going forward. well i think we've we've seen over the last week prior to this this attack this morning. the forces of freedom and change called a general strike last week for 2 days and that was because one of the few leaders they have is to call the demonstrators on the streets to call a general strike off or to call for civil disobedience but all this has been entirely peaceful. and i think the word talks in progress over
3:03 am
the last 6 weeks which had actually made it's a very considerable progress and so there was no justification whatsoever for. the use of violence in the way that happened this morning or the disregard of the rule of law which general have made he says is very important could be a possibility of bridging the gap between the 2 sides but obviously the protesters regard what happened today as a betrayal of that trust and so that is going to make the resumption of negotiations more difficult rosalyn mars and we thank you very much for joining us from london the rest of the day's news is still ahead on the al-jazeera news hour and digging in for a brighter future on mexico's trying to lift people out of poverty and sport literally how some unusual shots how dominant teams reach the quarter finals in paris.
3:04 am
but 1st the u.s. president donald trump is shortly due to attend a state dinner at buckingham palace during the 1st of a 3 day visit to the u.k. for more we can cross over to felicity barr in our european broadcast center hi felicity. hi there during thanks so much here there's certainly been plenty of pomp and ceremony for the u.s. presidents who earlier had lunch with queen elizabeth before receiving a royal tour of london and soon as he said he'll be the guest of honor at a state banquet to buckingham palace but the day hasn't been without controversy earlier described london's mayor as a stone cold loser while protesters have already been out on the streets not a bubble house more details he's finally got his state visits but a warm welcome might be too much to expect as president trump helicopter arrived at buckingham palace the crowds are gathered and the protesters were getting ready
3:05 am
props getting the full honors including lunch with the head of state creedalism both and other members of the world family the original whopper of a state visit at the behest of prime minister to resign may came soon after dog trump took office but now she's on her way out he's already broken protocol by backing former foreign secretary boris johnson to replace her. it is trump arrived to use social media to call london's elected mayor city can a stone cold loser of the card accused him of being part of a global far right threat there's no doubting the amount of interest this visit is causing among visitors to the british capital but during his visit president trump will be traveling at least part of the time by rote that's when he might get an idea of how unpopular he is among some of the british public when president trump visited the u.k. last year he was met with large protests and the infamous baby polluted he can expect more of the same on tuesday when he goes to downing street and who knows he might actually enjoy it president basically uses the protestors and of statements
3:06 am
of people who are leading those protests. in a way to galvanize his support back home his view is you see when i stand up for america people are always going to oppose us we're under siege i'm the only one who really fights for this country and i'm trying to fight for you for your jobs and so on. trump's met prince charles and his wife camilla amid speculation the heir to the throat might try to convince the president to take the climate crisis seriously he's also some prince harry but not his american wife meghan markle he's also criticize via twitter. we are the leaders of 2 opposition parties and the speaker of the house of commons boycotting monday's state banquet at buckingham palace of course the so-called special relationship whether it's trade security or diplomacy doesn't depend on the president big popular but this is no ordinary presidency so expect more controversy throughout the week al-jazeera london let's
3:07 am
take you live to al-jazeera is john hall outside buckingham palace for us now a busy day for the president how's it going do you think. well look if you leave aside the blazing row between president trump and the mayor of london so the car if you leave aside glimpses that the president would have got from his. helicopter and from the bulletproof glass. in his limousine the beast of protests taking place in central london apart from that everything's going pretty much according to plan on this 1st i'm certain the biggest day of any state visit he was met and given a grand welcome by the queen here buckingham palace in the morning then a wreath laying ceremony. westminster abbey with prince charles and the duchess of cornwall camilla and he's just arrived here in the entourage a few minutes ago here at buckingham palace for the high point of the day the state bank with grand white tie and tiara affair but as you say you know fertile grounds
3:08 am
for controversy everywhere donald trump goes this evening you know exception whether it be the insults aimed at the london mayor whether it be criticisms of the prime minister and breaks its strategy to issues with meghan markle the duchess of sussex married to the queen's grandson or indeed climate change so close to the heart of the queen's queen's eldest son prince charles donald trump of course thinks it's a hoax there are lots of subjects to avoid one imagines people will be tiptoeing around them pretty carefully even if donald trump himself is not he will say of course prime minister to raise them a on tuesday but she's only prime minister in name really some might health what are they going to talk about is there any point to having such a meeting. well they've got to make a show of having that meeting that is the other part of the state visit the political occasion which will be his visit to number 10 downing street he didn't do that last year of course he avoided central london altogether meeting checkers on the queen of windsor castle now he's got to face the protests head on they'll be
3:09 am
big quite quite possibly bigger than last year and of course he's got to meet the reason may what will they talk about well it's clear that nothing substantive leigh will be concluded between both sides she is as you say prime minister in name only having given her given notice of intention to resign immediately after his visit trying to preserve this sort of thin veil. fiction that she is still prime minister now it's going to be formalities huawei perhaps the telecoms giant chinese telecoms giant that may be invited in to help build the u.k.'s known core elements of its 5 g. network is very unhappy about that iran as well look nothing will be concluded but the meeting will go ahead china in london thank you. well major protests are expected in the british capital on tuesday but there have already been smaller demonstrations against trump's this is serious for a challenge was among the crowds outside buckingham palace he sent us this update of the main day for demonstrations is going to be to stay put on monday evening
3:10 am
a small but 2 no easy group of protesters have brought their message down just outside buckingham palace and it's inside the palace walls where donald trump is having his state banquet with the queen and it's that same banquet that the protesters trying to disrupt and we can speak to a couple of them now this is bad and sarah now can you tell me why you come down here what is it that you don't like about trauma and what is it you want to show that. there's nothing we like about drumming is a criminal that's for sure is responsible for a lot of violence in the united states separating family by the mexican border building a wall should both think the most criminal element on this planet is also a man who is about to destroy the planet drumbeats promoting carbon fuel energy while the whole well the saying don't do that this man has to be put in jail really
3:11 am
care why you know i think that donald trump should be welcome in this country but i'm a black american living in the u.k. and we don't want to hear these racist these anti islamophobia. the muslim man the attacks on him and where is that american people on the mother accused of rape and sexual assault i mean how can he be the leader of the u.s. he can't accept this and it's absolutely outrageous that's why we're here so why all the noise. because we're sending a message to the banquet that we are here you know the people are absolutely outraged trump is not welcome anywhere in the world only the one percent welcoming him he's going the planet is dangerous and we want people to know. as we say. catching anybody. here is a given that you should respect the office of the president and. president of the united states and great britain i think it is. everything has gone out the window
3:12 am
i mean he has absolutely there's no bottom line with him and so he's even brought the complete disrepute like we've never seen before and that's why we're here to make that clear to the world he's not welcome here or anywhere near in mind that trying to control britain is a comment about supporting various junction the worst elements racist fascist element you know. again sadly carolyn black mare of london that's outrageous out very. very. so views like that. in the united kingdom 60 percent 70 percent of people according to recent polls have a pretty dim view of the current president of the united states. well with me now in the studio is philip blunt who is the director of the rest public a think tank and previously served as an advisor to the former british prime minister david cameron thanks so much for coming into the studio trucks about to go
3:13 am
to this lavish state banquet that the queen is throwing for him somewhat on usually though that the leader of the main opposition party here in the u.k. the labor party jeremy koeppen is not going to be there and several of the leading political figures are boycotting it i mean that somehow it was not unheard of but we live in revolutionary times i mean i think if you look at the whole liberal western saddle and from your to california is breaking down and this is just another example of it all across the world populations opponent rising the center isn't there anymore and what we have i think is with certain politicians to us speaking to their base trying to show. a distinction between. trying to paint their opponents as you know trump like so it's just about mobilizing the sections of the electorate that are interested in you it's part of the ongoing political game i think one of the controversies about that and the fact
3:14 am
that they are boycotting the visitor centrally is the fact that the u.k. and the u.s. go on about this special relationship that with some churchill 1st referred to back in 1986 but the u.k. and the u.s. fundamentally disagree on quite a few things that don't make the issue whoa whoa whoa wait iran climate change thing you've named the top 3 and i think you're right i think look i think the remains are an abiding connection between sort of the american and the british people i think that's true much of the 20th century we've been allied with 4 walls to gather our soldiers have died together in battlefields and. there's a lot or own and i think that matters and that matters to ordinary people so i think the special relationship in some senses is slightly discredited but i think no less it's real in the sense of shared sensibilities britain matters the u.s.
3:15 am
and u.s. matters to britain but i think within that there are significant disagreements iran is potentially the most we think the nuclear deal should continue trump thinks it shouldn't and i think you know trump has a point you know military specialists in this country a good knowledge that the iranian deal has essential. rome to build a whole virus network of busy kind of pro raney in regimes across the west i guess the know it is done anything but the problem is that he unilaterally would be us out there with basically no discussion of the allies about owning everything she unilateral now. merkel unilaterally last in over a 1000000 refugees on her borders and didn't even talk to members of the you about it so i think we're in the world of emergencies or in the world of unilateral. positions the interesting point to make is is that we're in
3:16 am
a new political world now where what's called nationalism is alive and essentially post 2nd world war we viewed it as euthanized as put down and suppressed but we're living in a world where the liberal offer didn't secure or working class people and it increasingly were in secure middle class people so liberalism which is been the sort of political nall has now lost its purchase and delivers actually insecurity massive economic insecurity the o.e.c.d. has pointed out that the western middle class is shrunk by 8 percent and is set to constrict more and also kind of cultural insecurity mass migration being the proxy in both the united states and in europe and in those situations what's surprising is a form of play space solidarity on a world where people look after you and that's on
3:17 am
a national basis and that is the new emergent politics and trump is part of that here and should be understood as speaking to that base speaks to his base he certainly does feel it long ago to wrap it up there that are present so thank you so much and great pleasure. but that's the latest from here in london let's go back to doha and tutoring for the city thank you arthel ahead in this al-jazeera news hour missing and murdered the report on what's the scribed as i can a.v.n. it genocide. putting down their guns and picking up school books we meet former child vigilantes in nigeria learning to live normal lives. and in sport there's a golden comeback in the n.b.a. finals player will be here on the back of the action from 2. hello again it's good to have you back well fairly dry across much of the levant

3:20 am
a treasure trove it is one of the most special low clouds on the planet. ecosystems in the night on al-jazeera. hello again the top stories on the al-jazeera news hour the death toll from violence in sudan's capital has risen to 13 many more injured after a heavily armed paramilitary soldiers opened fire on a protest camp outside the military gentles headquarters in heart to. protest
3:21 am
leaders have called for a general strike a nationwide civil disobedience until the giant are overthrown new barricades have been put up in towns and cities across to don the ruling say they will send an invitation to the protesters to resume. u.s. president donald trump will soon make speeches at a state banquet at buckingham palace. quarter through london after meeting the queen and other oil is at the start of his 3 day visit large protests are expected on tuesday. more now on our top story and don let's cross over to alan fischer he's joining us now from washington d.c. allan because we are getting strong reaction now from the united states. well the 1st reaction is come from people. in the system secretary of state he looks after african affairs he has said that the u.s. condemns the attacks that we've seen in sudan after the last few hours in a stream of tweets released just in the last hour or so he also says that.
3:22 am
first this was a brutal and coordinated attack led by the rapid support forces militia that mirrors some of the watch defenses of the bashir regime we call on sedans military authorities to really in these abusive forces and protect the people of sudan they say that this course completely counter to what the military has been seeing when it talks about looking for a transitional government with civilian involvement it says that any future government of sudan must have that civilian involvement particularly if it's to look for support from the united states and so these are really strong words of condemnation coming from the state department might prompt is currently on a trip to europe we expect to hear more from him in the coming hours but certainly from this assistant secretary of state this is pretty strong language and it is clear that the united states is one very angry about what's happened to wants it to
3:23 am
stop immediately and sees the way ahead number 3 sees the way ahead for sudan or only with the involvement of civilians in a civilian led government ok alan fischer thank you. well talks are going on in washington between u.s. and mexican diplomats to resolve a dispute over migration that prompted the president to threaten tariffs it's unclear what mexico can do to satisfy trump's demands to stop people crossing the border illegally some within his own republican party have warned tariffs on mexican goods will hurt u.s. consumers and the economy. the german chancellor angela merkel insists her governing coalition is secure despite the junior party losing its leader and your analysis resigned as head of the center left social democrats appalled by the party's poor standing with voters dominic cain reports from berlin the social democrats now find themselves in a leadership vacuum 3 leaders have led this party in the past 3 years to electoral
3:24 am
defeat plummeting poll ratings and now nobody is there to take up the banner of social democracy into that vacuum have stepped 3 prominent social democrats the prime ministers of 2 states and a leading member from a 3rd state none of them says they want to run the party they're going to allow the party to try to find a way forward in the next few weeks of this month the important thing to stress here is that so far at least from those figures there doesn't seem to be the indication that they want to pull out of the grand coalition with the christian democrats and angular merkel the chancellor from the christian democrats so far at least says that she doesn't believe that what's happening right now is a threat to the grand coalition if. it is a new situation for the s.p.d. which is finding itself in a coalition it is best to accept things as they happen the s.p.d. has made some decisions which will not hinder our work. but the question is whether
3:25 am
social democrats will accept the things as they happened remember that when the vote was held among ordinary party members about whether they wanted another coalition with anglo american last year or 2 someone said yes but since then 5 major elections have been held in germany and the party has lost 4 of them can they afford to lose yet more support yet more elections yet more poll ratings these are the questions that social democrats are asking themselves right now. muslim ministers and regional governors have resigned in sri lanka following protests led by a hardline buddhist monk on a hunger strike. on a pharaoh's also a member of parliament he and his supporters are accusing muslim politicians of enabling the easter sunday attacks allegations they deny 258 people were killed after more than 2 years of inquiries the canadian government has received a report on missing and murdered indigenous women the report which was leaked to
3:26 am
the media describes what's happened to the women as a canadian genocide she has returned see spoke to victim's relatives and asked what they hope the inquiry will achieve. maggies i would exist as 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 the long awaited
3:27 am
official recognition of decades of brutality the work that we're going to be doing research and care systemic causes for a murderous and it's 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
3:28 am
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
3:29 am
inquiry has reportedly found but the government does have yet another opportunity to address that legacy on monday. mexican president and dress manual lopez obrador a struggling to follow through on his promise to tackle violent crime but he still believes better social programs are the answer many will rappel 0 has the latest in our series on bread or his 1st 6 months in office. in the mountains a very crude mexico 29 year old making the met i meet as is tending to a corn field 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. and they hope 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
3:30 am
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 the basement of a locus of other 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 and me when they get that big and believe me robbers are common where i live murders are common gunshots at night are common with them if the government can reduce the number of people becoming involved in crime slowly everything else will fix itself in the financial assistance to young people as a strategy for crime prevention is certainly
3:31 am
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. graham's are working on is also when we're talking about public funds in a country that 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 young 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 and next in our series we'll look at the progress of
3:32 am
one of the president's most controversial policies to decriminalize all drugs as they write here on al-jazeera nearly 2000 former child vigilantes have returned to their homes in northeast nigeria the u.n. says some of the children took up arms to help the army fight boko haram an allegation officials say is untrue. reports from my degree. a ceremony marking the formal disengagement of hundreds of former child. who the united nations says took part in fighting. in nigeria. have now turned to their families 6 years after dropping out to join the mohammad is back in school. last 5 years have been traumatic for the 16 year old. after boko haram fighters killed his parents he joined the local vigilante group called the civilian joint task force at the age of 12. j.g.
