phones. next week will begin our civil disobedience the military council has cut off the internet they cut off the telecommunication networks to cover their crimes we promise we'll unveil the military's crimes committed on the streets from killing to rape to humiliate to fear we will continue this revolution the crackdown appears to be continuing activists report raids by a paramilitary group on hospitals looking for injured protesters and the medical workers treating them. one of the rapid support forces came in and attacked me and he hit me here and over here as well may god punish them as the doctors union says the savage beating suffered by patients and their colleagues a part of a wider campaign of violence yesterday we have not do doctors or be raped. since the women have been raped in one of the nearby. neighborhoods to the headquarters

of the military council this is it which and cannot carry on. the military junkers apologized for the violence and says it will investigate its called for elections within 9 months something the opposition has rejected when we consider it a statement of a coup and a counter attack on the people's revolution and we were a few to do all from its beginning to the end we refused to call for an early election and we consider the statement of the military council conforms with the counter-revolution and is linked to the interests of the old regime just weeks ago protesters gathered full of hope that talks with the military council were on the verge of a breakthrough. now their current has turned to anger and protesters say they won't back down alexei o'brian al jazeera. as i mentioned the u.n. security council fails or rejoined position in a closed door meeting more on that now from our diplomatic editor james bates. the
9:11 am
security council was briefed behind closed doors on the latest developments in khartoum by the secretary general special adviser almost situation in sudan nicholas hastened i'm very concerned about the situation in khartoum and i think that represents a position of the international community i don't want to engage to mention a discussion as to who should do what because we're still hoping to play a role in bringing the parties together we haven't given up hope that a solution is still possible you can just. as soon as i can mr hasten told reporters he'd like to see a common international position on the situation in the sudan but the security council couldn't come up with that they couldn't come up with a statement on the killing of protesters by the military i'm told that china adamantly refused the draft statement saying it was an internal matter they were
9:12 am
backed in that by russia and kuwait said the draft needed amendments so instead the ambassadors from the european countries gave their own statement we call for an immediate secession of violence accountability for crimes committed and underlined the responsibility of the transitional military council in ensuring the safety of the sudanese do you need announcement to see snickers he sends a point that government and calling for elections to short period of time is of great concern those are the words i think european ambassadors would have liked to have seen in a common security council statement but now sudan has become the latest country where the security council is divided the u.s. president has promised what he called a phenomenal trade deal for a post brags that britain donald trump held. talks with the outgoing prime minister
9:13 am
to resign may during the 2nd day of his state visit but he seemed to ignore friction over dealings with chinese telecoms giant how a meeting that from a replacement has more now from london. what 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 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 a very very special place and i think it deserves
9:14 am
a special place on the top line point of contention between the 2 sides the role of huawei 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 and there was talk of a one on one meeting it was as if the former reality t.v. star was back 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 a table talking deals there comes. a day besides the glamour of a state visit for lavish attention of royalty great britain once
9:15 am
a valued ally and strategic partner is to this president it seems a deal waiting to be done. al-jazeera london or comments about the public health service in the u.k. being up for negotiation in any future trade deal triggered major concern but just hours later he 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 several 1000 demonstrators marched through central london in protest against the u.s. president's visit but turnout was below expectations prompting trump to dismiss it as a small protest when it was that. it was billed as a carnival of resistance and the demonstrations certainly included elements of performance as well as protest costumes and fancy dress one group dressed as
9:16 am
characters from the hung made tale some were simple others. simply too profane to show on television or even trump impersonators. the 6 meter tall trump baby blimp was back after 1st appearing in 2018 and the reports 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 think that the british didn't think you'd be able to kind of a. 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. we are young we are old we're why we disabled going to. where the
9:17 am
how wonderful most of diversity and inclusion that we represent on this demonstrations and i. know there were 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 president last came to london in 2018 on the last visit to the us president has succeeded in uniting a kaleidoscope of different courses from pro-feminist to the fascists. when he was asked by journalists about the protests outside president trump claimed to have seen only cheering supporters demonstration he said was a small protest and the media attention obvious fake news i don't see any protests i did see a small protest today when i came very small so
9:18 am
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 on his own but if president trump was really oblivious to the chorus of booing his motorcade left downing street it can only have been because of the remarkable sound proofing of his official limousine brennan al-jazeera central london. has been 2 years in saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain initiated a blockade on cattle claiming doha was a supporter of terrorism it's an accusation that qatar strongly denies the crisis has affected many areas and created further instability in the region the torah gates and the reports. a handshake between saudi king salmon bin abdulaziz and the qatari prime minister but if anyone saw this is a sign of warming relations between the 2 countries they'd be wrong that was
9:19 am
a week ago and despite the most high profile meeting between the qataris and saudis in 2 years is the g.c.c. is still in crisis and very much divided and also we had reservations about many parts of the statement these elements include 1st the issue of only condemning iran and the escalation against it up in the absence of any moderate policy to engage in dialogue with iran. the statement also mentioned the united go. to the gulf where we have 3 gulf states blockading another gulf state ever since saudi arabia the united arab emirates behind and egypt imposed a land air and sea blockade on cattle in june 2017 the gulf cooperation council has been at olds. the g.c.c. has held 2 summits in saudi arabia and one in kuwait which has led mediation efforts at the 1st summit since the blockade began a catalyst to mean been hammered out that he attended but his adversaries said the foreign minister is their absence was seen as

9:21 am
real reason it's being targeted by its neighbors but the blockade appears to have had little effect in the past 2 years trade between cattle and the rand has increased and qatari media outlet al jazeera and others are operating freely despite demands by the saudis and them or arties for their closure qatar is a country that is immensely grown and has a lot of positive developments since the crisis because they have a lot more freedom to maneuver freedom to choose their suppliers choose their partners in the region without being hamstrung or tied down to us and saudi dictate is the g.c.c. crisis and this it's 3rd year division and distrust between the councils members appeared to be becoming the norm and if people in the gulf begin to accept that reality that could make changing it more difficult in the long run big turia gate and be al jazeera the trumpet ministration has authorized u.s. companies to share nuclear technology with saudi arabia the u.s.

department of energy informed the senate it was granted to licenses the 1st in october and that was just 16 days after the killing of the journalist. when the u.s. is under pressure to sanction riyadh one u.s. senator says it's one of many steps you ministrations take and that's fueling a dangerous escalation of tensions in the region. so i shall break here not just iraq when we come back australian police raid the offices of the national broadcaster a.b.c. in a series of stories about afghanistan. and a strike that could create a shortage of your favorite chocolate treat will explain a little bit later more nuts than us. but remember we're watching those few showers developing over the caspian sea a couple days ago they were drifting east to be this lot coming over afghanistan tajikistan they were big enough to produce flash flooding in touch he could stand

palestinians the palestinians say israeli authorities are denying them permission to build homes and of the lack of land for development their way of life is under threat maybe abraham reports from the occupied west bank. low rise buildings were once common in villages in the occupied west bank but not anymore even in older areas that are now how the buildings that many say are destroying the traditional nature of these villages life in palestinian villages once revolved around farming in single storey stone houses in the village of course on the north east of jerusalem this is how much things have changed over the last decade. an hour's drive from qatar village its mayor says efforts to maintain its heritage are often hampered due to lack of land in most part of the village israeli permission is needed to carry out any construction. of a secure the population is always increasing but the permitted building areas shrinking demand goes up and there's a limited supply of people trying to expand to the areas controlled by israel but
9:27 am
they prevent us from building there so we go back to areas we can build on since they also agreement between israel and the palestine liberation organization in 190360 percent of the west bank has been under israeli control and israeli human rights organization been calm says only one in $100.00 requests by palestinians to build have been approved in these areas land in the remaining areas falls under palestinian control and as demand has risen so has the price the palestinian population in the west bank has increased 5 times since 1967 while the land that allowed to build on has remained limited and that's frustrating palestinian urban planners this is part of the construction is natural development but the problem is that we're losing them and we're starting to see a mix of elements and the overall image doesn't have a palestinian identity high buildings are built up and wrong places without planning there's random building and random demolish and. but when it comes to illegal israeli settlements critics say the situation is reversed peace now
9:28 am
organization says during the past decade i don't 20000 new israeli settlement units have been built here in the west bank illegal israeli settlements are expanding at the expense of palestinian land and these open areas are off limits for palestinians but some of them are still building anyway even though they don't have permission from the israeli authorities. to bring him back when it's taking that risk of building even though many people he knows have received demolition orders or had their homes destroyed but when an issue when and we want to have houses what other choices do we have if what i build here i won't find other places land prices a very expensive so i build on the rooftop. with a growing population in the west bank and limited land to expand into palestinians here are having to adapt to a new way of living and it's not one many of them would choose. the occupied west bank a u.s. special forces soldier accused of stabbing a wounded eisel fighter to death in iraq has been freed from detention while he

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 to posts it's another instance of a pardon disrupting the system. or like this time it's the federal system who was already convicted and sentenced there is clearly support for war crimes pardons among a significant portion of president trumps conservative base but his critics contend 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. australian police have raided the
