12:03 pm
are going to be what we want to have a good life if you manage the public would not be met unless. you count the removal from the rule. talks between the military jump 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 negotiation 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 understand 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 the internet cannot mania skeptical about the joint an 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 or little information that we're getting out of you on the ground looks like gendry is doing what they've
12:04 pm
done historically which is you know go home to home and arrest people so you know i have 2 hours we'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. then. 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 and joined by douglas johnson via skype who is the author of a book called the root causes of sit on civil wars he joins me from oxford in central england good to have you with us again on the programs calling off talks refusing to negotiate and now calling for elections it certainly seems that the military junta have drawn the line in the sand when it comes to any communication with civil society groups. yes i mean it's a tactic just to keep themselves in power they will. they will be the ones who decide the election or how the election is run and of course the 2 hours with the
12:05 pm
national congress party or. skill are really no action so it won't be free and fair and won't represent anything other than cosmetic form of keeping the military regime in that service is the misnomers in our did do you see that the military itself clamping down even harder if the civil society movements continue their call for civil disobedience on a national scale and on a scale that will disrupt the general movements and makeup of sudan's daily life. well right now it seems that the deputy leader who's in charge of the rapid defense forces or loser a former gender we leader it looks as if he is ascendant in the military
12:06 pm
council and of course the former journey to weed the route of. support forces. were raised specifically to shoot and kill civilians. who are then in blue nile and the nuba mountains and now in khartoum they have no compunction about doing they have no connection with the civil society throughout sudan and as long as that faction of the military is in control that will be what they will be doing my understanding of speaking to various analysts and contributors to al jazeera yesterday when this was all developing was in terms of the military to make our international viewers understand the scenario of how the jango either involved or that they already supported by the older more established senior members of the military and it's sort of the middle and lower ranking military officers that are more sympathetic to the civilians.
12:07 pm
well when the protests in khartoum began the journey we called out to suppress it it was people within the military within the know the sudan armed forces the national army who began to side with the civilians and actually brought that sort of repression to an end that might happen again we'll just have to wait and see where does this leave the civil society movement the s.p.h. and all the other groups that really want to have a say i mean are they really at a crossroads in the sense that they can't do anything at the moment but they really need to keep the public and civil society on side. well it is difficult if they are committed to nonviolent demonstrations when they are confronted by violence from the army it's very difficult to keep the momentum going but they do have the ability to mobilize civilians not only in protest but in not
12:08 pm
just in the 3 towns in the capital but others cities in the sudan and they also have the ability to call a general strike which would severely. sudan's economy and that might bring about a change. in the t.m.c. or at least a change in their attitude towards negotiation which is the what happens and in the coming days it's good to have your analysis on this mr johnson douglas johnson there in oxford we'll look forward to your analysis through the day thank you you're welcome. at least 11 civilians have been killed in an attack in the eastern democratic republic of congo military sources say the attack in benny was conducted by rebel fighters belonging to the group known as the allied democratic forces gunshots are said to be continuing in the area. a syrian government airstrike has hit a market in the rebel held province of idlib as an offensive there continues the attack

same pain. syrian n.g.o.s say at these 26 medical facilities have been hit since the syrian regime intensified its attacks in advance on april 26th at least 300 people have been killed the whole of the fear now i'm at a hospital but i wish they took me out the hospitals are now targets many would prefer to suffer and die at home to dying in a hospital now. despite this hospital being hidden underground a bomb blender 200 meters away a few days ago. to prevent civilian casualties the hospitals inside did live made the decision to evacuate patients. except for the emergency cases. this doctor says' even this children's hospital couldn't escape the regime's shelling despite coordinates being shared with the u.n. . well the big guns was there during the airstrikes my wife and daughters were also at the hospital but i had to keep them here to be able to evacuate the others the
12:11 pm
hospital was full it was tough to decide and keep the crew safe at the same time we have only 2 options either 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 medicines. people in a blip 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 to violated by the syrian government and russia now 3000000 people in it the fear that the uptake in violence
12:12 pm
over recent weeks is only going to get worse. al-jazeera in the northwest and syria. well u.s. president donald trump is meeting again british prime minister trees away on the 2nd of his 3 day state visit to the united kingdom the leaders are co-hosting breakfast talks with british and american business executives that's james palace in a bid to boost trade links later they're expected to talk about climate change and the chinese tech company hardway large protests are planned in a number of u.k. cities including trafalgar square in london and store in lawrence lee who's monitoring events for us from downing street the official residence of the prime minister knotts where he's trying his meeting the outgoing prime british prime minister treason may. not quite yet at the moment he's a business breakfasts is pretty small frankly there are 5 captains of industry from
12:13 pm
the u.k. and 5 from the u.s. and the duke of york prince andrew who's who's an old golfing chum of president trump and that's happening right now but in about an hour or so after that present i'm going to come here behind us and go to downing street where he will hold a bilateral meeting with reason i was going to be followed by a news conference a lunch time and while yesterday was all about pomp and ceremony and rolling out the red carpets and 7 the things that really wanted to happen the audience with the queen and the stablish ment's laying on fick all these so all this talk of the special relationship enduring friendships and all that sort of thing today is going to be much more difficult not the business breakfast but the talks with stories in may because the things as you mentioned they're going to talk about there are disagreements between the u.k. and the u.s. and all of those things are not just to resume a who's obviously out of office anyway a very shortly disagreement between between the u.k. establishment of the foreign office over iran and the nuclear deal disagreements potentially over whether while away the chinese telecommunications companies should
12:14 pm
be allowed to set up in parts of the british 5 g. network climate change another one and obviously brics it's which will. which which casts a shadow over everything donald trump was the matter entirely clear that he supports boris johnson the former foreign secretary who wants the same sorts of heartbreaks at the trump those tories and they didn't want bats and those costs job and so the highlight really of the day in those terms is going to be the news conference at lunchtime when all of those things are bound to be raised and 3 of them is going to have to sit there listening to donald trump give forth on how he thinks the world should be and obviously everybody's keeping an ear out to see if he goes off message and says something else past what he's already said in the run up to all this of course the one thing he can't ignore lawrence is the potential views that he'll see from the cavalcade that he's travelling in because the british mood is very different to the very warm welcome he's received from the royal family and
12:15 pm
from the government. yeah i mean the protests are going to be pretty big but they've been they've been fenced off in trafalgar square which is just sort of north of here so and he's kept his his motorcade won't actually get to see that whether he can here it's always a different issue but you know if he's watching any of the television networks over here he's going to have to know that there's potentially going to be a quarter 1000000 people on the streets who who really don't don't like him at all and the centerpiece of their protest warm the trump baby blimp is taking to the skies once again this this enormous inflatable balloon portraying trump as a big a big crying baby and then just before the news conference happens here jeremy corbin the opposition leader of the labor party who boycotted the state banquet last night is going to address the crowd as a marching around central london and you know that the fact is i mean clearly there are hard in government and among the public here who who like trump because he
12:16 pm
supports what they believe but you know all the poll ratings suggest the trump is not a very popular president in the u.k. and so far he's chosen to ignore that. it's an open question clearly whether he'll still be able to ignore as the day goes on indeed what we want to events with you through the day thanks lawrence. still ahead here on al-jazeera the mexican president has a radical plan to tackle the drugs problem but not everyone thinks it will work also. to the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls of canada to their families and to survivors. we have killed you just introduced promises action after a government inquiry concludes that canada was complicit in a race based genocide those stories after the break.

12:22 pm
legally or rationally speaking we are blameless. pretty confident but. morally i don't know that's there's another saying like. what if there's this one person or shot and dead. in that place because he heard a speech that given by the army quickly regain. control of the streets but no one was quite sure who was really in charge as i reported from beijing at the time 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

12:24 pm
a spare bedroom of an apartment near downtown mexico city looking for this the grower will call him carlos has asked us to hide his identity but he is happy to show off his plants which he says are only for personal consumption. you know what they were one of the main reason early romona plants is because i don't want to be involved in their game of violence and drug trafficking or not running north when i'm smoking. mexico city has some of. the most relaxed marijuana laws in the country but it is still illegal to buy or sell the drug part of president and that is his over others national development plan a strategy that includes reducing violence over the next 6 years seeks to legalize marijuana use the plan calls for an end to prohibition but not just of marijuana all drugs to learn them on those who say that simply legalizing drugs will reduce violence in the country but have no idea what they're talking about that but clearly not everyone is on board with the idea in fact even experts who agree that
12:25 pm
a drastic change in drug policy is the need to hold off and say the same thing that lopez obrador has proposed a strategy that lacks any sort of strategy at all there are no specific plan the problem is when you have to do something like this you have to be already clear about what you try to. how you want to legalize weed who you try to address the problem how much will cost the problem or if you try to explain and you try to address by the health system. another controversial aspect of the legalization idea is ending the maybe the initiative a partnership between the u.s. and mexico that has directed some $3000000000.00 to fund the drug war since 2008 the united states is approved $145000000.00 in 2019 to be directed toward mexico under the maybe the initiative money that's expected to be used encounter nor katic so operations president love is over the hopes that the united states will redirect
12:26 pm
those funds toward development and drug rehabilitation programs and so. it remains unclear whether the u.s. would agree to the mexican president's offer to end the drug war but it's also not the type of policy that could be applied overnight certainly not unusual to go private growers like carlos say legalization is inevitable for now he's trying to perfect the. growing process so he can launch a legitimate marijuana business if and when the mexican government makes it legal maneuver for. mexico city. italy's prime minister has threatened to resign if the 2 main coalition parties do not stop squabbling over the e.u. budget laws the league and the 5 star movement formed a populist coalition last year and has just a little known lawyer to serve as prime minister and mediator since then the coalition's argued about everything from infrastructure projects to immigration it's the also faces the possibility of e.u. sanctions for breaching budget rules. u.s.
