11:02 am
thousands were killed and injured in aliza violence it's all troops opened fire on unarmed demonstrators and in hospitals in khartoum and beyond the military says it will investigate. the goal of our mothers who either solo or the military council are sorry for what happened this morning for the events that surpass or previous plans we know there's nothing more precious than preserving life and the leader of the council that's ruled saddam since that ousted president omar al bashir an april also called for elections and what is that i ask the military has decided to seize negotiations with the declaration of freedom and change forces until elections are held within 9 months with regional and international supervision all those from the previous regime who've committed crimes will come before the courts approaches does want the military to hand over power to civilians immediately especially after monday's crackdown. that curious people. appear
11:03 am
election are going to be what we want to have a good life if you manage the public would not be met unless. you count removed from the rule. talks between the military john to and protest leaders were suspended 2 weeks ago after the 2 sides failed to agree on who will lead to during the transitional period i think you were not talking about in negotiations where we're going demands that need to be met it's a process of hard over of all and i think the military council passed on that and it's not about give and take this is a demand from the people who will lead the revolution. with hundreds of protesters arrested and good internet cat many a skeptical about the gentle agenda and willingness for change we all want to feel like but you know unfortunately it's how you get there and the testimonies of people on the ground for little information that we're getting out of on the ground looks like the gentry is doing what they've done historically which is you know go
11:04 am
home to home and arrest people so you know i have 2 hours they're going to be left to stand for election that's the big issue and who's going to be allowed to stand for election. the army says the only way out of the crisis is through the ballot box the protesters are vowing to keep up the pressure with mass demonstrations and a general strike. al-jazeera. those 3 widespread international condemnation of monday's violence the u.n. security council meets later on tuesday to discuss the crisis britain's foreign minister jeremy hunt is calling it an outrageous step only to more polarized nation and violence germany's foreign ministry spokesman said that there can be no justification for this violence and that it must stop immediately and the chairman of the african union commission the moose a fact he called for those responsible to be held accountable. the chairperson of
11:05 am
the african union commission most affected by how much calls for media and transparent investigation to hold responsible for these actions accountable for those actions and it's also important much more now than ever for all the transitional military council to to ensure and to protect. civilians from further harm or i'm joined by al jazeera as mohammad val who's recently been in khartoum covering the protests and returns it's a sudden change of vents now the different methodology is being used obviously by the military now sort of canceling any sort of negotiations what is in your opinion their long term plan even though they say they could have elections in 9 months i think they have been clear about their plan i think the they have cast in the negotiations and they want organized elections in less than a year so that's their plan for now we don't know what's next for them i think
11:06 am
what's next is expected like what happened what happens always in the arab world in africa or most countries they will shed the military uniform and one of them will be the candidate for presidency probably this is what the sudanese are expecting and they will stay in power in another way like the same people probably one will be the president the other will be the defense minister we saw that in egypt assorted other countries that's the plan on the side of the military. the question though is what's the plan of the other side of the revolutionaries who have seen the beginning of that civil disobedience yesterday at the airport at some of the banks and so on today is by the way and it's only for half of the population or a big chunk of the population and this is an this is unprecedented in so that the forces of freedom and change have announced that to these aide and they are going now as we speak to praise the other side the military council said no easy it is tomorrow and the country's for the 1st time split over religious right now. and in
11:07 am
sudan so these this is a powerful indication of what comes next we would have. 2 sides not speaking to each other 2 sides who are probably trying to lead sudan in different directions or very shortly the freedom of change they have been threatening to and also government. on their own without even consulting or coordinating with the military council if things come to head like what's it like that what's the situation is now so we will see more civil disobedience we will see more abstraction more problems for the for the country those crises and problems that led to the uprising in the 1st place in april are worse than ever now so the people will say so i mean the people will be looking at the options they have no options as a just briefly you know while we have sort of this impasse at the moment with what's going on between civil society groups in the military the international community is looking at all and that's all it's ever done really at this moment in the last few months is look all make comments but actually do nothing so what's the
11:08 am
u.n. security council meeting going to do exactly exactly so these these measures are routine they will be taken of course military the security council meets they will take decisions probably there will be even a resolution probably they will condemn what happened but there will be no pinpointing of who is responsible and there will be no follow up there will be no nobody to be tried or investigated the so on about this i doubt it and many people incidentally doubt that there will be any follow up to what will be said today in the security council so there they don't pin any hopes in terms of the guy on the ground they don't pin any hopes on anything that will come from outside except that influence from saudi arabia the united arab emirates which has already said we have already seen its results on the ground indeed which is that what happens in the coming hours for the moment my middle thank you. syrian government strike has hit a market in the rebel held province of an offensive continues the attack in the. been killed at least 3 people in april damascus launched an offensive to retake the last major territory under rebel control dozens of hospitals are among the areas

stay or die following the syrian regime's latest airstrikes targeting the health facilities in and let medical workers think they are being deliberately targeted aid organizations are scared to send chris into syria leading to a shortage in medical supplies people say here it is much easier to find weapons than finding medicine. people in their lives say they have lost hope that the world will do anything to stop the onslaught. for 7 years the international community has provided nothing not the un not the others it's all empty promises it is one of the escalation zones agreed by turkey russia and iran but equipment has been constant violated by the syrian government and russia now 3000000 people in it the fear that the uptake in violence over recent weeks is only going to get worse because

that some blood shed. hit by the police but. that's what we have expected. today he lives in exile in taiwan the self-governing island republic the china wants back and he's had a lot of time to reflect on whether it was all worth it i think politically or legally or rationally speaking we are blameless. pretty confident but. morally i don't know that's there's another saying like what what what if there's this one person or shot and dead were in that place because he heard a speech that given by me the army quickly regained control of the streets but no one was quite sure who was really in charge as i reported from beijing at the time
11:18 am
meanwhile the men who control the army and perhaps now the government have issued another ominous warning stay off the streets or face the consequences one man certainly didn't seem to care about the consequences yesterday in an extraordinary single act of defiance this young unarmed protester brought a column of tanks to a standstill we still don't know his name or if he survived after he was bundled away unclear by who. is just another day in china they'll be no public displays of dissent or remember it's china's vast security and surveillance network will see to that even mothers of students killed in the bloodshed have been told to remain silent as part of the continuing official cover up the chinese leadership still refuses to acknowledge how many people were killed or to express remorse adrian brown al jazeera beijing. in hong kong more than 810-0000 people are expected to

attend a candlelight vigil commemorating the tiananmen square crackdown but some student unions are boycotting the event exposing a rift between younger and veteran democracy activists sarah clarke reports from a local. 30 years on kenneth lam recalls the events of june the 4th $989.00 like that happened yesterday he was a student leader and was in tiananmen square when he saw soldiers and tanks rolling in and hundreds of students were being shot at that moment i heard 3 gunshots and i. didn't realize at that moment. that some of that got gunshot that was the 1st time i carry a person. over to die. photos and details of the massacre in beijing a shared in this hong kong museum dedicated to the tiananmen square crackdown the
11:20 am
museum was forced to close 3 years ago but has reopened in time for the anniversary . vigil in hong kong is the only commemoration held on chinese soil remembering a chapter in history that china's laid prefer to forget but attendance has been on the decline since the occupy pro-democracy protests 5 years ago demonstrators demanded the communist leadership in beijing respect the $997.00 agreement which guaranteed freedoms after the handover from british colonial rule since those protests are rising and he mainland and pro hong kong sentiment has split the pro-democracy camp student unions are now boycotting the vigil we are not going to out there cannot be in pretoria pocket yet the most important something high is that we do not agree with the building of people practical china at the heart of the student boycott is a growing conviction that the special administrative region is separate to the mainland and attending
11:21 am
a big job is acceptance that hong kong is part of china student unions are now holding their own alternative events with a different agenda focusing on the political issues closer to home that's disappointed the veteran democratic activists and those pro-democracy groups who support the vigil they argue it's an occasion for everyone to reflect on hong kong's future i really hope you will show that we don't forget and we are still striving for democracy no matter even hong kong and we also support. the point of china striving for changes despite this widening rift between the older and younger generations they still share a common goal greater democracy in the face of what i say is china's ever tightening grip sarah clarke al-jazeera hong kong. well u.s. president donald trump is due to meet the outgoing british prime minister trees in may on his 2nd day of a 3 day state visit large protests are planned in
11:22 am
a number of u.k. cities and these are live pictures from parliament square where the trump blimp is slowly being inflated it was very popular with protesters there when the president trump was last in the u.k. let's join lawrence lee he's also a very important location and a location that the you might say the eyes of the world focused on for some rather interesting meetings today. yeah i mean you know to the today is very much the sharp end of the visits president trump got his audience with the queen and all that yesterday in the british establishment clearly tried very hard suits to make you feel at home emphasizing all this stuff they talk about the special relationship enduring friendships and this sort of thing but today's going to be much more difficult than confrontational. that the highlight of the sale is going to be later on this morning when. three's a may the outgoing prime minister as you say. and they hold talks in
11:23 am
a news conference and clearly there are differences they have differences over iran and the nuclear treaty differences over climate change overhaul our way the chinese telecoms company was through and they wanted to help build the british 5 g. phone network and trump doesn't want that to happen and there's going to be a fairly spiky moment i think when to resume a gives trumper presence which is an original draft that winston churchill wrote so of what's called the atlantic charter which which predated and laid the foundations for the united nations and trees amaze view much like the queen with actually she spoke last night's united nations as an institution is very important and is one obviously the trump has been very keen to try to bypass and so you know for all the special relationship stuff. and enduring friendship there are going to be some differences they're going to be one of these everybody's looking out for is whether in the news conferences in the lunchtime. goes off of message and tries to
11:24 am
embarrass tourism am public by saying that he supports for example boris johnson to be the next prime minister who wants a much harder version of brecht's it than the one that always amaze been and has been unsuccessful trying to push through so it is going to be interesting i think they'll probably try to accentuate the. things they have in common but there will be some differences on display as well of course yes while obesity focuses on the diplomatic in the political side of this there is the public mood as well lawrence and you've been able to gauge that over the last few days. it is not just the last few days honestly i mean that you know last night a protest group shown a picture of the tower of london comparing donald trump's poll ratings in the u.k. less than 30 percent to president obama's over 70 percent. trump is not is bluntly speaking is not a popular figure in the u.k. particularly in london and in scotland he's widely loads. that there will
11:25 am
be a full perhaps a quarter of a 1000000 people just up the road for him here in trafalgar square with the with the truck drivers it is the offensive the trump blimp and there are also protests all over the country as well so you know that there are a lot of people who don't like in the opposition leader jeremy corbyn who boycotted the state banquet last night is going to be speaking at that protest directly before the news conference here has been trying to say i haven't seen much in the way of protests he i think is going to be a bit difficult for him to miss it today indeed and we'll be following it with your teams on the ground thanks lawrence lawrence leader for. downing street. the u.s. congressional investigation has begun into competition in the tech and online markets the house of representatives judiciary committee says a handful of companies have come to dominate digital platforms and now have extraordinary power firms were mentioned by name but the justice department is
