3:02 am
and for them to a stop to the conditions for elections which have to be free and. we call for an agreed transfer of power to a civilian government as the manned by dipping of sudan. and the us britain and norway issued a joint statement saying the transitional military council has jeopardized any peaceful transition to civilian government in sudan a doctor's group aligned with the protestors says 50 people have now been killed across the country since monday but it says some bodies were taken by security forces it also says more than 300 people were injured most of them critically well let's speak to our diplomatic editor james bays who joins us live now from the united nations james so we heard as we had there from the e.u. aid because the state u.n. security council couldn't agree. that's absolutely it was a 2 hour meeting of the security council away from the cameras at the end tacked on
3:03 am
to another meeting about central africa and in that closed door meeting they were briefed by nicholas hayes the secretary general's special advisor on the situation in sudan he came out of the meeting and as the ambassadors continued to talk among themselves and said he hoped that there would be a common international position that could come out of the meeting that though did not happen and so as you saw the e.u. ambassadors came and gave a statement the statement i think that they would have liked the security council to have made but we got division in the security council why well after speaking to some of those who were in the meeting it's pretty clear what the dynamics were the europeans and the african nations were supportive of a statement by the security council the objections seemed to come mainly i'm told
3:04 am
from china who made the view that this was an internal matter and should not be subject to a security council statement they were backed in that by russia i'm also told that the arab member of the security council kuwait which happens to be the current president of the security council had some problems with the draft statement from the security council that had been proposed i believe from european countries and they had some problems with some of the language and wanted some of the language changed so once again and we've seen it so many other places that the security council has a mandate on now the current crisis in sudan on peaceful protesters being shot dead by a military council we have division in the security council and given the division in the security council james what other different avenues are there is there another step now that that other member states can take. well i think
3:05 am
that potentially something could happen in the general assembly certainly the strongest statement from the u.n. on record now is from the secretary general who has already called for accountability he's called for an independent inquiry and his advisor mr hayes brief the security council is hoping to go and mediate between the 2 sides he's been there in the past and spoken to both sides he though currently is in new york and my understanding from officials the reason he hasn't dashed straight to khartoum given the current crisis is that he doesn't currently have a visa to allow him to go into the country so the u.n. mediator currently it seems not at the moment on his way to khartoum that's how democratic get a james bone is there with that update from the united nations thank you zones. well the u.s. president has promised a phenomenal trade deal post. talks with outgoing prime minister in may in the
3:06 am
british capital during the 2nd day of his state visit as you seem to ignore friction over the dealings with chinese telecoms while away leaving that replacement china. in other circumstances would be a significant meeting was on this occasion far more low key the u.s. president alongside a british prime minister on the verge of stepping down for the past 2 and a half the president and i have had the privilege of being the latest guardians of this precious and profound friendship between our countries there was no avoiding breaks it and opposed breaks a trade deal between the 2 countries donald trump is a big fan of both i would say yeah i would think that it will happen and it probably should happen this is a great great country and it wants its own identity it wants to have its own borders it wants to run its own affairs is
3:07 am
a very very special place and i think it deserves a special place on the top line point of contention between the 2 sides the role of the chinese telecoms giant in building the u.k.'s 5 g. network president trump seemed to brush the issue aside there will be an agreement he said not to worry he seemed to imply leave it to mrs may's successor on which point the president has made his views very public indorsing top contenders boris johnson the former foreign secretary and the current foreign secretary jeremy hunt . environment minister michael gove also a front runner he said he didn't know very well there was talk of a one on one meeting it was as if the former reality t.v. star was back or candidates this time for the job of british prime minister. at the business end of this state visit donald trump was most at home around the table talking deals don't come. besides the glamour of
3:08 am
a state visit the lavish attention of royalty great britain once a valued and strategic partner is to this president it seems a deal waiting to be done. al-jazeera london and there was major concern in the u.k. over thomas comments about the nation's public health service being up the negotiation on any future trade deal and just hours later he appeared to have stepped back from those comments i don't see it being on the table somebody asked me a question today and i say everything's up for negotiation because everything is but i don't see that being that's something that i would not consider part of trade that's not trade. well several 1000 demonstrators marched through central london in protest against the u.s. president's visit but turnout was below expectations prompting trying to dismiss it as a small protest. i found out. it was billed as a carnival of resistance and the demonstrations certainly included elements of
3:09 am
performance as well as protest the costumes and fancy dress one group dressed as characters from the hung made tale some placards were simple others subtle many simply too profane to show on television or even trump impersonators we have reached a deal to kinda shit. the 6 meter tall trump baby blimp was back after 1st appearing in 2018 of the republican effigy titles dumped trump made its debut this year i do respect democracy but i'm ashamed of this country for inviting him and treating him with pomp and dignity i thought that the british government was about the kind of thing to be able to welcome somebody who's kind of a new go fascist a short distance from where the president was meeting the prime minister the stage had been set up to host several high profile speakers look around. look at each
3:10 am
other. we are young we are old we're black we're one way disabled analogy peachy where the whole wonderful most saying of diversity and inclusion that we represent on this demonstration tonight. isolated confrontations between protesters and some vocal pro trump individuals but they were quickly contained. protest organizers had anticipated the degree of outrage for teagan certainly the numbers on this protest are a fraction of the 250000 the turned out when presidents are lasting so long that in 2018 on the last visit to the u.s. president has succeeded in uniting a kaleidoscope of different courses from pro-feminist and see fascists. when he was asked by journalists about the protests outside president trump claimed to have seen only cheering supporters as the demonstration he said was a small protest and the media attention obvious fake news i don't see any protests
3:11 am
i did see a small protest today when i came very small so a lot of it is fake news i hate to say but you saw the the people waving the american flag waving your flag it was tremendous spirit and love for the most part the public is being kept well back from the president and his entourage but if president trump was really oblivious to the chorus of during his motorcade left downing street it can only have been because of the remarkable sound proofing of his official limousine. al-jazeera central london. now tens of thousands of people across the wilds have commemorated the 30th anniversary of china's brutal crackdown on student protest square but not in china where any mention of the massacre is banned hong kong is the only place on the chinese role that holds public commemorations and organize a say 200000 people that attended
3:12 am

3:13 am
be retold in mainland china and few will be aware of the latest are no vigil in hong kong. censors in china have stepped up their policing of social media and police detained activists a spur caution but in hong kong it's a very different atmosphere in recent years there was a sense that this vigil had lost momentum many people felt that it had become a tradition lighting the candles to mark a point in history but this year many here say there is a new sense of urgency with china tightening its grip on the city like never before people say they want to speak out before it's too late. the latest threat to freedoms in hong kong a proposed extradition law if passed it will allow people here to be tried by judges in mainland china extradition to write or has crossed or for that matter confidence in the chinese generational right china where does.
3:14 am
this. treatment of suspects this is the only chinese territory where such a massive demonstration against the communist leadership in beijing takes place but amid the singing chanting and calls for democracy a major question on many people's minds how much longer will the people of hong kong be allowed to express their dissent so openly the holland al-jazeera hong kong now china has issued a travel warning to citizens against traveling to the united states or whacking men until the end of the year the country is minister of culture and tourism the frequent shootings robbery and theft as the reason that a trade dispute between the u.s. and china has deepened in recent weeks after talks fell apart and early may. still ahead on al-jazeera the time the ministration moves to reimpose some of the sanctions on cuba eased by barack obama. and a new controversy iran u.s. navy sailor who's facing court martial for war crimes.

suffering from. diarrhea and their mothers tell us that they have no access to the hospitals and some people die because the ambulances aren't fast enough to pick them up but the worst thing is that here the owner of this land is telling those $300.00 families in this camp to move out as soon as the islamic fees and they tell us that they have no idea where to go but we are hearing that the local government here the local administration is doing is some preparations for them and some n.g.o.s are trying to. trying to up. 10 send their supplies for those people in case an attack happens. but in short these people are left vulnerable here in it that. now appears the attack in southern yemen has killed a child and wounded 6 others the rebels launched rocket attacks on areas around thais there's been fighting between yemeni government forces and the who these east

pardon of u.s. service members accused of war crimes signals out troops and allies but we don't take the law of armed conflict seriously he says another pardon and a possible presidential consideration involves even more than chain of command issues these 4 security guards were convicted of killing 14 iraqis in what the prosecution said was indiscriminate fire on a civilian crowd in iraq in september 2007 they were employed by the blackwater company headed at the time by erik prince a declared friend to the president and brother of education secretary betsy defaults it's another instance of a pardon disrupting the system. only this time it's the federal system who is already convicted and sentence is clearly support for war crimes pardons among a significant portion of president trumps conservative base but his critics contend
3:25 am
that it's not them he should listen to rather they say he should hear the commanders of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who follow an established train of command. mike hanna al jazeera washington. in the u.s. state of florida a former police officer has been arrested for failure to confront a gunman during a mass shooting at a high school last year the officer was working as a security guard at marjorie's steinman douglas high school when a gunman killed 17 people in february scott peterson faces charges of child neglect negligence and perjury now the trumpet ministration is imposing major new travel restrictions on visits to cuba by u.s. citizens the treasury department says it will no longer allow group educational or cultural travel to the island one of the most popular forms of tourism from the u.s. it will also deny permission for private and corporate aircraft and boats it's part of efforts by the united states to pressure have over what it calls cuba's
3:26 am
destabilizing role in the region including its support for president nicolas maduro in venezuela under former u.s. president barack obama the white house sanctions travel and financial restrictions and established formal diplomatic relations our white house correspondent can be healthy it has more. these are major travel restrictions put in place by the trumpet ministration effectively blocking what was considered to be the most popular form of travel to cuba and that is travel that took place through a loophole in existing travel restrictions allowing for those to transit to cuba through organized tour groups as well as on cruise ships not only has this been blocked but the state department with its announcement has also ended travel by private citizens u.s. citizens who were perhaps going to cuba on a yacht or even a private aircraft now the reason for this punitive action we're told is that the united states continues to believe as it has said many times before that cuba is
3:27 am
responsible for what it sees as destabilizing activity within the western hemisphere that is propping up governments that the united states does not support particularly in venice well as well as in nicaragua now this is a major departure from the actions of the obama white house that of course had eased travel restrictions to cuba not only are tighter restrictions in place but now as well the only form of travel that really seems to still be allowed under the trump administration is that of commercial airline flight to support what the united states is calling lawful forms of family travel. guston as a journalist based in cuba and he says it's likely the decision will have an impact on cuba's economy. the cuban economy is increasingly dependent on tourism and within that over the last few years cruise tourism has been growing for
3:28 am
nominally taking last year's figures for example over 300000 americans business in cuba by cruise that's more americans that visit to the island by compassion airlines so by taking away got saying that mode of transport you're potentially going to be half in the amount of american businesses and tourism is the main thing now that's keeping the cuban economy afloat it's a very difficult regional context the the american of course the united states is strong hostile to the rights over the last few years cuba is isolated and those tourist dollars we're keeping state coffers and off decent shape but also cubans working in the tourist economy which is overwhelmingly the private sector so people who are in restaurants people who work in restaurants like weights as musicians artists they're going to be hit be it be hit by this fall in service and of course americans are right now i'm thinking about being very very generous with the tips which filters through hugely to indirectly i'd say it's on just thousands if not millions of cubans working in the private sector so it's not
3:29 am
