2:03 pm
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 cured people. appear election are going to be what we want to have. your demand 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 negotiation where we're going demands that need to be met it's a process of law and i think the military council passed on that it's found it's
2:04 pm
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 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 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 protest is a valentine keep up the pressure with mass demonstrations and a general strike. and excedrin al-jazeera. to algis my word baal who's just recently returned from khartoum after covering the protests another strange turn of
2:05 pm
events in a very short space of time even after the head of the military was apologizing for his troops a double monday. that's right but remember that you know the the military council now in the eyes of most of them is has lost the moral high ground whatever they say by way of consolation will not be really. will not be received well one of the sudanese particularly those who lost their loved ones. he also spoke about the blister evolution is tim calls it the blessed evolution but now let's look people let's look at what they have done to this evolution i mean totally totally you know they made a u. turn on everything on the negotiations on the promises of sharing power on the transitional period and so on all of that is gone and now we ended up with what then is called just a coup and people who are serving in bashir for many years they toppled him and now
2:06 pm
they are doing the same they are reading from the same book and in the doing the same thing that he has been doing killing the protesters in the streets now as we speak they are chasing prego it's be people who want to aid prayer they are to sing them in the streets they have wanted to prevent it and they even said that today should not be considered a day they decided on on another day they decided that tomorrow should be the way for other of the fest the 1st time it happens in sudan but the one moving part is very different to 30 years ago is the rise of the civil society movement much stronger much more vocal to all intents and purposes relatively unified certainly in the way that they are conducting themselves without raising you might say the fists where do they go what do they say now or what sort of support can expect either from within the country or from outside of it. they're not expecting any help from outside that's over with now but from inside they lie on the street and
2:07 pm
they think that the people the majority of this within is are those simple average sudanese who are suffering because of the policies of the former regime and of the current military rulers as well and not the politicized to the knees because there are also you know they're being frustrated with the politicians with the opposition parties some of them have you know jump jump ship. during the last few days and weeks the opposition is disunited as united as ever now they are realizing and pinning their hopes only on the average sudanese people who are suffering who have been suffering that's all across or done not just in khartoum those millions of silence for them is who are waiting for real change waiting for the mako see where waiting for something that will give them a voice in the country various analysts who've been contributing to our coverage here on al-jazeera have been talking about the soldiers schism within the military the rapid security force perhaps controlled by the old generals those in senior
2:08 pm
positions of the military and the middle order of the military those that might be more sympathetic towards the public side of things where is the red line or where does the balance change where parts of the military might turn around and say you can't keep doing this to our public we're not going to shoot our own we're not going to. try and catch our own or jail our own and there's a crisis of conscience does that actually do you get a sense that will happen outside many sudanese or so they pin their hopes on this eventuality they think that there will be a line in the they tell you this then his army per se has never really you know been gauged in opening fire on civilians and killing them in the streets the way it is happening now right now they tell you that those who are killing the people in the streets during the time of bashir they were the security. one of the security members now it is the jonjo eat former john doe who were brought by omar bashir to
2:09 pm
protect him during the months of arrest and now they are killing the civilians the army has 2 problems now 2 splits one is this within the army the the army officers they don't like the joint or they don't like this power coming from the west you know the militia controlling the army that's one thing and also within the army itself as you said we saw that in april 1st they protected the protesters they shot at the security members and they began that is our action which led to a coup and now the expectation is that if more bloodshed takes place in the country they will do it again so the hope is on the junior officers to say no to the to the hierarchy bosses will see what happens for the moment thank you very much i'm told is meeting britain's outgoing prime minister trees in may it's the 2nd day of the american president's state visit to the united kingdom and the 2 are expected to talk about the future trade deals after break that

2:11 pm
area where the president from is that kind of stuff. but a large gathering of all people who are not fans of the president's it's safe to say i mean president trump on monday night to the social media tweeted out about the tremendous crowds and well wishes he had supposedly seen and how much great love there was but hasn't been i don't think a large outpouring of positive sentiment towards the president and in fact here in trafalgar square there was a large rally which is just broken up just a couple of minutes ago they're marching off now in that direction down to downing street the president from still is he's due to give a news conference in about the next half an hour with the prime minister to resign the marchers are heading off down there in order to try to make themselves as the president departs. estimates of the numbers i would say somewhere around 101-2078 lot lower than the 250000 that turned out last summer when the president made his working visit here

2:14 pm
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. 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 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

a vigil in hong kong to remember china's $989.00 crackdown on student protesters in tiananmen square groups around the world are set to commemorate the massacre but no such event will take place on the chinese mainland as beijing continues its censorship. and donald trump is meeting between prime minister trees in may it's the 2nd day of the american president state visit to the u.k. the 2 are expected to talk about future trade deals after breaks that trumps also expected to push the u.k. to bar chinese tech company holway from its markets. let's stay with that story because lawrence lee is live outside 10 downing street and lawrence certainly all smiles and handshakes to start with but one might say perhaps an awkward or uncomfortable meeting really when you have president trump who still in office and prime minister may who's about to leave. yes that's obviously correct and everybody knows that's very difficult but it sounds
2:20 pm
like the briefings coming out of downing street. that's the reason a delegation is not just heard jamie on for example the foreign secretary who wants to succeed this is what the front runner. in the race he's part of the legation meeting beating the americans too so it's not just a reason may's opinion that's in the room and on those 2 issues of huawei and the climate change the briefings from downing street have been that the british side isn't going to capitulates away that they're going to stick to their current position which is that they see no apparent security reason why shouldn't be part of an attempt to build the 5 g. network in the u.k. despite the concerns from the americans on the australians of about about spying and they're also going to push back against on climate change as well against the americans push coming out of the paris accord but overwhelmingly the biggest thing that's going to be talked about in the room right now is bound to be
2:21 pm
a future trade agreement between the u.s. and the u.k. if the u.k. ever finds a way of leaving the european union and naturally there are there are differences of opinion on that as well because the reason may try to do a fairly soft much shorter than the one that wants jeremy hunt so i mentioned before the foreign secretary has said reluctantly that he would be prepared to take the u.k. out of the european union with no deal but the big question that i hear academics asking a lot is does donald trump actually have the power unilaterally get a trade deal with the u.k. in the u.s. and the answer is no because it has to go through american congress and what a lot of people are pointing out is that if the u.k. tried to impose a hard border and islands with a view to getting breck's its thing congress could possibly block that and that's one point that donald trump has notably failed to answer so far so there's a question mark obviously to your initial question about how far they can go with
2:22 pm
these because teresa mayes leaving office but yes some of the sticking points certainly of course it will be very interesting to see what that joint press conference will be later in the day and yet you know where you are long as i'm sure you can hear perhaps the noise that is being made of well for president made his way to downing street can't really miss the surround you. well no and in fact as he turned left into downing street and down there there was a vocal. protests and they're all shouting at his car i don't know whether i can hear it through is on the playstation but i can certainly hear there's the main body of the protests up the road from here sort of the square i don't think the protests are anything like as big as they were a couple of years ago when when he was here that time it was only about a quarter of a 1000000 people to look at it so far it's smaller but it doesn't alter the fact that if you take the polling in this country as a guide then donald trump really isn't that popular
2:23 pm
