so the news you mentioned the president declared an emergency is to go as it relates to iran so now what these senators are going to do is they're going to introduce these $22.00 resolutions of disapproval what that allows them to do is potentially tie up the senate for hours days weeks basically ensuring that nothing else gets done of the senate's business trying to send a message to the white house to withdraw this deal and submitted to congress it's unlikely that they would get enough to override a veto in a veto seems likely the president's done that in the past when the u.s. side in the house so that they didn't want the u.s. involved in the war in yemen he vetoed that so it seems he would be towed this the only other option in the house is considering a bill that would change the law in essence so that he can't declare an emergency but that is an even tougher sell so they're going to try and send this message sort of and try and use it to force the administration to submit this this deal to congress but in the end it doesn't look like they're going to have the power to actually stop it ok to call him thank you so ahead on al jazeera remembering d.-day

veterans. commemorate the 75th anniversary of the 2nd world war invasion. by cuba is a no go country for americans as the u.s. government again gets tough with its communist. i know there was plenty of showers they were the southeastern parts of china recently the satellite picture is picking out some bright white areas of cloud will gradually marching their way eastwards and giving some of us some very very heavy downpours there with plenty more as we head through the next few days some heavy rain in the far eastern parts also affecting us in shanghai and then further south will say some heavy showers here and as i say there's all working their way eastwards so we could catch quite a few even in hong kong over the next few days for the northern parts of it. now

will say plenty of sherry where they hanoi is looking raul the wet over towards india just incredibly hot for some of us here temperatures in new delhi made over 50 degrees really incredibly hot here elsewhere and it's not quite so hope because there's more in the way of moisture around so we all think a few showers now in the northeastern states through posts in a port and into bangladesh we're also seeing more cloud of dissent true belt's as well as in the south where we've got more persistent rain those showers really coming now the puzzle sri lanka the southwest monsoon has dug in here now for the year for the most the west is hot here in doha as well temperatures topping at around 42 degrees at the moment of devotees of 41 that's not cloud and so less so here are maximum is just that he went to greece. it's my privilege to name al-jazeera english the broadcaster of the year the cartels are fighting each other and we've been told that we can still hear this is

the largest demonstration that's been held to refugees to over 7 $100.00 you hear some of the largest losers on the planet earth are you or they think that they could be put there to hear. directly. from recipients of the new crystals gold coast to. say. hello again the top stories on al-jazeera 40 bodies have now been retrieved from the nile river in sudan's capital after they were dumped there by the paramilitaries rapid support forces at least 100 people have now died since monday's crackdown by the military john top. russia's president vladimir putin's

has ties with china are are at an unprecedented level he welcomed chinese president xi jinping as he arrived for 3 days they visit to russia. a group of u.s. senators say they will belong president donald trump's plan to sell more than a $1000000000.00 worth of weapons to several gulf nations circumvented congress last month by declaring an emergency over growing tensions with iran and moved forward with arms sales to saudi arabia the u.a.e. and jordan. emergency talks are about to begin between u.s. and mexican government delegates in a last minute attempt to stop threatened terrorists mexico's foreign minister marcelo but are just trying to persuade the u.s. secretary of state to call off a 5 percent. increase due to start on monday u.s. president donald trump is threatening to increase charges every month unless mexico reduces the number of people crossing the border our white house correspondent

really hard hit is joining us how the talks going can really. well they're set to begin at 9000 g. they'll be hosted by the vice president mike pence and you're right the argument being made is that this is what's again sort of a national emergency and the president was saying that he will use his emergency powers to put in place these tariffs but he's already been sent a message from members of his own republican party in the republican controlled senate that essentially they're not behind this effort to put in place these tariffs that could go as high as 25 percent well the senators made republicans agreeing that with the president that there is a crisis on the southern border of the united states with mexico with respect to the surge of migrants coming from central america through mexico they don't agree with the punitive action that the president is threatening to take so these talks are kind of a latched last ditch effort by the mexican delegation to try and prove that they are doing something to combat the flood of migrants but they are taking steps and

will continue to take steps but so far it looks like the president says as he spoke with theresa may in the u.k. on tuesday that he is moving ahead with these plans so this is really a last ditch effort to try and avert what the president says he's planning to do rights can really help define q. . well the u.s. president's been meeting with war veterans off for joining a commemoration ceremony in the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings donald trump joined 15 world leaders in portsmouth on 3rd and final day of his state visit to britain war veterans had appealed to him to try protestors not to disturb the war tributes they say the focus should be on the soldiers sailors and airmen who died in the invasion new parker has more from the home of britain's royal navy from where many ships sail to france the final day of his state visit to the u.k. he's in the port city of course most. for the 75th anniversary of the d.-day

landings that all important moments of the 2nd world war but the u.s. and the u.k. and the european allies came together to mark an all important turning point in the conflict they staged the largest i'm phoebe s. landing ever it was an opportunity finally to push back germany's control of the entire continent it is a moment of shared sacrifice a reminder for donald trump of the longstanding symbolism of the relationship of the so-called special relationship between the u.k. and the united states one that of course predates trump and one that many hope will significantly out lost him as well there are many international leaders present more than a dozen in total including angela merkel of germany justin trudeau of canada and france is a manual to name a few it is of course the last major engagement for the british prime minister to resign maybe for which she steps down it's 25 years since the last u.s.

president was here for the 50th anniversary of the normandy landings of course bill clinton a very different style of president those are also very very different times as well more than $20000000.00 has been spent on security for donald trump's presence here there are many many layers of all made fences we've seen snipers at the top of watchtowers. many people here in portsmouth have been deeply concerned that the old times presidency it would distract away from the solemnity of the asian the main of day in which of course is to remember the shared sacrifice and to also pay their regards to the hundreds of veterans who survived the normandy landings who were here by any of those of course went to war as young men there in the ninety's this could be the last opportunity that they have to attend commemorations of this size and scale. police in australia have carried out us. 2nd raid on drug lists in as

many days the offices of the australian broadcasting corporation in sydney were searched and file says to relating to the national broadcasters investigation of alleged war crimes in afghanistan charlotte ballasts reports arranged by the australian federal police is underway at the a.b.c. offices in sydney straining media reporting on a range of one of their our police into the headquarters of the strangely broadcasting corporation with a warrant after a broadcast classified material in 27 tane the raid focused on investigative journalist daniel oakes and same you clarke they reported a series of stories called the f.b.i. and files based on hundreds of pages of secret ministry of defense documents leaked to the a.b.c. . they alleged unlawful killings and misconduct by a stray in special forces in afghanistan including the alleged killing of an unarmed man and his 6 year old child in a raid on their home as well as the killing of

a detained taliban fighter at least 2 incidents are the focus of an ongoing defense force inquiry. the police raid targeted emails between the journalists and their sources and written notes draft scripts passwords photos and videos related to the afghan files in all more than $9000.00 items the warrant was served under the century old crimes act that forbids publication of classified material it's a very unwelcome and serious development i think for people maybe who aren't in the media business sometimes talking about priests freedom can sound a bit like a cliché it is extremely unusual for an authority to exercise a warrant on a national public broadcaster like this and it is very serious on tuesday police searched the home of annica smita the award winning political editor of the media organization news corp following his story on plans to expand domestic surveillance . it's extremely alarming that incident then used to come on the back of it really

suggest it was. the government. star me freedom of the press which of course is so awful. in recent years amnesty international has been calling for more transparency by these trailing defense force for its actions in afghanistan the a.b.c. says it stands by its journalists we will be doing everything we can to limit the scope of this and we will do everything we can to stand by our reporters. and as a general observation we always do whatever we can stand by our sources of course police deny there is a link between the 2 media raids or that they are related to the reelection of prime minister scott morrison this government 2 weeks ago shelob ellis al-jazeera.

it's the 2nd anniversary of the start of the air sea and land by qatar off qatar by its neighbors saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and others accuse catalyze leaders of supporting terrorism they've consistently denied that and say talks can settle the dispute peacefully victoria getting the reports. a handshake between saudi king soundman 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 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 because we had reservations about many parts of the statement these elements include 1st the issue of only condemning iran and the escalation against in the absence of any moderate policy to engage in dialogue with iran from the cattle ban on the statement also mentioned the united

goal whereas the night of the gulf war 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 all its. 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 is adverse 3 said their foreign ministers their absence was seen as a snub to kuwait city tend to heal the rift throughout the dispute cattle has strongly denied claims made by the saudis and generalities the doha supports terrorism or is too close to iran. be groups have been engaged in cattle's foreign ministry has arranged meetings with representatives from dozens of countries with the a me and foreign minister touring the world riyadh in abu dabi will say being

busy with media campaigns against cattle including one targeting the 2022 world cup yet both have been dealing with crises of their own the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi in istanbul and accusations that it was ordered by crown prince mohammed bin salmond have damaged the kingdom's image. so has the war in yemen and the humanitarian disaster it's caused. the immoralities and saudis have been accused of committing human rights violations there and cattle says that's the 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 ati's for their closure covers a country that has a mentally 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 saudi dictators as the g.c.c. crisis and has its 3rd year division and distrust between the councils members appeared to be becoming. and if people in the gulf begin to accept that reality that could make changing it more difficult in the long run victoria gate to be al jazeera son of hormone farming on is a lecturer in the department of politics and international studies at the university of cambridge she says by diversifying trade links qatar has largely been able to withstand the challenges of the blockade certainly a mediately reestablished stronger relations with turkey which had been one of the requirements for. in terms of how saudi approached saudi qatar is need to adapt to this saudi requirement so it's qataris

reestablish really strong relationships there it's had a very good run in terms of relationships with iran and it has diversified its trade which was very important for all of the the gulf states which are not self-sufficient on the international scale it has certainly been able to continue independently but as an observer it seems to me that it has definitely reduced some of the activities that it had become so well known for conducting prior to this so many of its encouragement to various different players to come in and meet each other within this out of the country platform and some of the real challenge that al-jazeera presented in the arab world have all been reduced somewhat to a war even keel. the trump of ministration is imposing major new travel restrictions

on americans visiting cuba the treasury department says it will no longer allow educational or cultural groups to travel to the island one of the most popular forms of tourism for americans it will also deny permission for private and corporate aircraft and boats it's part of efforts by the united states to pressure her over what it calls cuba's destabilizing role in the region including its support for president nicolas maduro in venezuela under the former u.s. president barack obama the white house ease sanctions travel and financial restrictions and established formal diplomatic relations as it is a journalist based in cuba he says it's likely the decision will have an impact on cuba's economy. the cuban economy is increasingly dependent on tourism within the over the last few years cruise tourism has been growing for a moment taking last year's figures for example of the 300000 americans business

achieved by cruise that's more americans that visit to the island bike about an airline's so by taking away got saying that mode of transport you're potentially going to be hopping them out 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 in america course the united states is strong hostile to the right over the last few years cuba is isolated on those tourist dollars what keeping state coffers and. 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 renowned in cuba 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 a happy day here in cuba. thank

you thad lines on al-jazeera and so don 40 bodies have been retrieved from the knowledge river doctors say they were dumped there by the paramilitary raf in support forces at these 100 people have been killed since monday's crackdown by the military john top further gunfire has been heard in heart to and the senior opposition figure has been beaten and arrested russia's president says ties with china are at an unprecedented level of lattimer putin welcome chinese president xi jinping for a 3 day state visit. shemale choosing them had all our bilateral relations have not reached the maximum and can become even better we are ready to work together with russia in order to continuously increase the effect of our country's high level cooperation so that our cooperation could give our people from both countries a bigger sense of achievement and so that we could promote russian chinese agenda

we're thrilled to have with us 3 powerhouse women leading the charge for gender equality from the women deliver conference when linda gates is co-chair of the bill and melinda gates foundation she's also author of the moment of lift how empowering women changes the world when he be any amount is the executive director of oxfam international she is a leader on women's rights democratic governance and peace fielding she has served 11 years in the ugandan parliament the african union commission and us director of gender and development at the united nations development program and julian large who served as an australian prime minister from 2010 until 2013 and is currently board chair add global partnership for education and the chair at the global institute for women's leadership at king's college in london welcome to the program everyone i'm so excited to have this chat with you today and so is our audience so we've got so many comments and questions from people online who are young female

leaders themselves i want to dive right in starting with a tweet we got from someone named. she says i joined youth leadership in my country and one of the most devastating challenges that i face was the electorate expected money and there were powerful men interested who asked for sexual favors in turn for financial support i refused and i lost you goes on to say i lost the election but not my integrity from that i learned that there is a price for ambition and as a young person if that price involves your integrity it is too high of a price to pay. i'm now offering leadership in other ways like mentorship she goes on to say subsequently in another tweet when either you are her role model so i'm going to direct this one to you when it comes to there being a price to pay that involves your integrity has that happened to you in your life and what would you tell someone like a hammer. thank you when they cut yes it's happened to me i

grew up in here gunda like a hermia at a time of conflict. a grew up seeing the worst excesses of a dictator india mean killing people rape of women kidnappings and so on but one thing i learned from my parents was this is not normal saying no resist stand up for your rights be safe don't get killed but don't surrender your rights and i didn't there was a price i fled my country at the cameras she g. but i channeled that anger that i heard it is in just these 2 movements human rights movements i joined others where fight the games colonialism that against apartheid women's rights organizations and became an activist serious

activist learning to organize with other people to create the world i believe in that's what i see it one join others join a movement youth organization women's rights organizations and fight for the world you want to do it alone join others stand up for it is right moment i can see you nodding there how has your own personal trajectory led you to where you are. well i've been lucky enough to be around her of the bill and melinda gates foundation and i've been travelling for 20 years and i think one of the things that has shocked me as i've been on the ground in so many different countries in africa and all over the world is that abuse comes up more and more and more that if you have a conversation with women that's a real conversation so you're there to talk about their health or their children if you stay long enough they'll tell you about the abuse in their community and what i know is that abuse silences women and girls and it's unacceptable so i completely

agree you have to stand in your own authority stand in your integrity and we all have to fight back and it takes finding other like minded women like women just like when he said like she's changed turn her life in to be an activist and it takes other male allies to there are men who are or women takes all of us standing up and saying not ok. we got this tweet from titus and we didn't get a lot of tweets like this but i think it's important to show and to share because views like this are everywhere so titus says men and we women are not equal the world's crazy we should stop deceiving ourselves the way that i treat my male pals isn't the same way that i treat my female pals god created women differently with different abilities and though i believe that oppression should be respected independent of gender of course he still holds that view wynnie have you encountered this type of thinking and what do you do about it you have 7. is so

wrong it's nonsense difference and equality should not be confused. then a women are different but men and women should be equal the fact that they are not doesn't make it right we work to achieve an equal world and my goal which made a lot of progress the entire 20th century was a progress to was more widely to between men and women i'm not living the life of my grandmother who at the beginning of this century was married off at 14 to a polygamous man inherited as a weirdo a 24 that can't happen to me 100 years later one women have one more rights for me so we are on our journey wake up you won t. is a all is a principle signed on by all governments of the united nations and we are marching

towards the front but it isn't there now doesn't make it right and the fact that we are different men and women doesn't mean we can't be equal we are equal. so titus if you're watching when he says you are wrong and i ask you to wake up no melinda you often speak of how your personal life impacts the way you take on issues and so i want to share a clip with their audience it's a humorous it's a tongue in cheek clip but it's an excerpt from your book which is fabulous i finished it just yesterday right before the show right on time and you talk a lot about gender equality and some of it is just the little things that make it necessary for other people to see the way that they can change in their own lives so i want to share with you a clip from your appearance on my next guest needs no introduction with david letterman have a listen. our oldest daughter jen we have 3 children she was about to go to

preschool and bill and i completely agreed where we wanted her to go for preschool through 5th grade this and the school was not close to our house we were really wrestling with this and he finally said melinda i get it i will drive 2 days a week and so he started doing it and he'd love the conversations with her in the car etc etc about 2 or 3 weeks into the school year couple moms kind of sidled up to me and they said do you see what's going on here in the classroom and i said well it's funny i see more dads driving and they all said well we went home and said to our husbands if bill gates right. i'm sure your husband must love that movement but how does that apply then to the work you do how does what you're doing in the home. take on a wider scale we have to look at all of this unpaid labor that women do all over the world and our economies are built on the back of that unpaid labor and so whether it's caregiving or chores some of the caregiving we want to do we want

to care plan loved ones but a lot of the what we do in our homes. in the developing world it's carrying water it's working in the field it's cooking for hours a day in the in places like united states and canada we cook we do laundry so no air in the world do men and women do an equal amount of unpaid labor in fact that gap equals 7 years of a woman's life and so what i was trying to talk about there was a difficult conversation bill and i had in our own home because this is personal we have to take it we have to look at it in our whole lives we have to look at it in our workplaces and we have to look at it in our community we do more unpaid labor everywhere in that needs to change and i see you nodding they're winning. of course that it can change but like many interests it is the personal level in the household agreeing to share that caring work more fairly between a man and

a woman and their children but there's also a role for governments governments have an important role to provide this services that can liberate a woman from drudgery so that she can work and earn money so that she can be a leader in society governments have an important role especially in the provision of public services water in the g education child transport the most important one that is child care he says your child but the private sector also has a role to play so if we all play our roles and are able to free women from the drudgery then women can be part of the quantum and live better lives and be part of publics. public savvis contributing us leaders picking up on what you're saying of course to play our role we need environments that are conducive to that so we got to be a comment i'll direct this to you melinda because she does her name is matt her

mentor she's a ph d. candidate at tulane university and here's what she's asking. time money with marilyn summer and i'm a fulbright scholar from pakistan i love reading the book by melinda gates the moment of you and your book mention how certain what places have was time that keep women out and how it times women hold themselves back and we know we cannot fix women to fit into systems that are created in designed by men so we have put forth comprising mostly of women how can we create genner transformative health systems in all nations that left women out and close the gender gap thank you. that's a big question melinda but part of your life's work. yes and i think met her asked a fabulous question which is how do we make sure we have full equality in the workforce and that is you 1st have to have transparency you have to actually know what your workforce looks like you have to publish what your look what person looks

like at all levels you have to publish transparency on paper because you have to have equal pay and then you have to make sure that men and women have an equal voice at the table and so i don't care whether that's in the technology sector or that's in the health sector we have to make sure that we're moving forward all roles not just for men but for women to in today we don't have enough role models and we don't have enough transparency of what's going on in industry by industry because only with that transparency and that data can weed then actually make commitments and decide we're going to move for differently as a society no matter where we are in the world so when it comes to role models julie ever bring you in on the phone where the connection is a little bit better and stronger we got this comment for you on twitter this is dr rhonda and she says you were one of the greatest female m.p.'s she says what kept you so strong in the face of the horrendous massage and a you experienced whilst prime minister and so for our audience that is not

familiar with some of the vitriol that you did face i want to share with them a clip though this is from several years ago of course but in it it shows just a taste of some of the things that you have to go through this is you in an infamous speech now in parliament in 2012 addressing the massage me of one of your colleagues for those of you who may not remember the moment here's a clip. i will not be lectured about 6 ism and a soldier named by these men i was 6 a kid and that was and the sergeant a by these men and not now not ever the leader of the opposition says that people who hold sexist fuse and i'm the login is not appropriate for high office well i hope the leader of the opposition has got a piece of pipe and he is writing out his receipt and maybe even wants to know i want a massage and he looks like the more you know strike he doesn't need

a motion in the house of representatives he made the right thanks for being a. jew he had power suit powerful words so round on twitter saying what caring so strong how did you keep going. think thank you for the question and i guess 3 quick things kept me going of course the support of family and friends and colleagues matters to everything beyond that i think it's very important to be clear about what you say to see what is. going even when the going is tough to know exactly what it is that you're trying to do. to write them on the shade of what i want to the government that i laid in on the toughest to get that increasingly crumpled pays the piper at the bottom of my handbag and read it again and stating the. same. of

course we should all be open to the constructive criticism interact with and who care about us and they want us to be in a. much toxicity at their own social in the traditional media and i think it's very important for women to know. that feeling bad about you on the. social media bad headlines if you're in the public school. and because of the things that you worked on we got this tweet a follow up from dr radha who says within a hung parliament julia gillard delivered more legislation than any previous she disrupted the power disparity in disability services and launched a royal commission into child abuse that revealed the truth about institutional abuse or just lifting listing off some of your accomplishments there but i want to

move on to this tweet we got from someone who asked the more direct question they say they want you to talk about female education empowerment programs because many females around the world especially in western eastern africa they say are illiterate most of the females are usually denied human rights and that's the wording of this week here to talk about education because i know that that is your mission right now. right now and sorry for the wild waving around at the scene we just had a few technical problems but i think we're up and running i have the right on are of sharing the global issue for education and so where. boys and girls but when we look who we now would use most likely to miss out on schooling now ease we want to make sure that every child gets a great education and special measures have to be engaged in to reach the poorest and most marginalised but we know from the 67 countries we work in we can make a difference we've saying leaf seen progress school completion rights now in

secondary school we're saying leafs in quality things like school feeding programs can make a big difference attracting goes to school they families bankrupted to send them having fame out has makes a difference having basic things like cemetery facilities it looks like we might have just lost the connection again with julia gillard but we will work to get it back she's coming to us from vancouver so we're going to hope that that gets a little stronger in the next couple minutes but i want to pivot here to this week from merriam di here she says i join the leadership in health system in my country but i was the 1st in my area no woman inspired my journey and supported me i wish that i could find them i'm still struggling but my own in a male dominated field so miriam is a doctor and she sent us a video comment and is directing it to you winning so have a listen to this comment now unfortunately the audio quality was not the best so we

had the voice over her comment but here's what she says. and certainly correct me i started my journey in advocacy when i was going to the level of leadership and going to the decision making positions i couldn't find any women who were ahead of me so the main question is why don't we have role models why don't we have networks that's a poor young junior leaders who are coming up and wanting to change as well why aren't we supporting each other as women unprepared i think that's why we're not supporting her performance or she's asking for support 20. magni. i can see that you are a young woman with agency your a doctor i presume you're a medical doctor you say that you have been a 1st several times a connect was

a fuss that couple of times but i don't talk to the about talk about being 1st because i think being 1st itself speaks a sad story that no other women have had the chance to be there not because they didn't have the ability but they didn't they had left opportunity to break a barrier so you have the agency you would do it you will build and there to walk you bring god the women around you and you offer to support others that's the way it works if you where to sit and wait to see. you know to for changed up in no change would happen ross us court who sat in that bus and sparked the civil rights movement didn't wait for another woman to get on that bus she did it ok you've been a fuss you can do more 1st for women by bringing them around yourself and offering

to mentor those with less opportunity than you that's the way i see. so when you speak of lacking opportunities and lacking agency although that video commenter did not we got another comment from someone and she says there is one field in particular and in her eyes it's the field of philanthropy that is lacking and it's lacking in diversity in several ways so this is a melody song she is the founder of diversity chair association for fund raising professionals in calgary in canada and here's a comment she sent a stream a melody song i'm leading the diversity initiative for the association for fund raising professionals in calgary canada charities are in dire need of diversity as their practices are designed around white male philanthropist and that needs to change but donors are more often fixated on making sure that the fund goes to the colace not the organization this creates a scar city mindset in the charitable sector that prevents us from investing in

people diversity and sustainability how do you think we can change that so that charities can be more like certified be corporations with sound business practices to ensure greater impact. i'll give this one to you 1st millennium thing i knew you would want to hear what you who want to take it personally do you want to really know this is just ok go ahead go ahead with it thank you belinda i am angry at that you're so right that in our sector a sector that dream values revenge that you still see fewer women in leadership than men what example are we setting i see it in many meetings where we are 2 or 3 women and everybody else is some 3rd excuse me white man leading a global organization that's not right it needs to change and we need to set some targets for ourselves we also need people to hold us accountable on inclusion there

are no people with disabilities leading mainstream movements people of gender diversity the thing in our organizations not really so we need to challenge ourselves the things we tell other people to do we must do ourselves i agree melinda. yes i agree with winnie and in fact this is one of the issues that we're looking at the foundation very closely and we're not doing a good enough job yet so we're on what we call a learning journey but i will tell you some places we're making progress and other platforms we're trying to make sure we have diversity at the table so we just had our annual trustees meeting there were 4 women in the meeting and 2 men when we sit around and do strategy reviews the people speaking at the table when we're talking about our india strategy for maternal and child health there are far more indians

at the table than there are americans or other nationalities when we're talking about our african work these days we have far more africans from different countries because obviously africa is a huge continent with lots of diversity and talent and ideas so we're trying to hold ourselves accountable but we're also trying to do is create platforms for not just diversity and gender but for youth so one of the things that the foundation's done in the last few years is created this group called the goalkeeper's which we're trying to track and measure the s.t.g. use that the united nations set but have the youth leadership show up from different countries to say where is activism making a difference where are movements making a difference what issues are we not looking at and not seeing as the world right need to be brought to the global stage so i think we need to do it as when he says basically at all levels of ourselves i see where the passion is i'm so sorry then to have to pass' conversation this conversation of course will continue online at

hash tag because there is so much to talk about that's all the time we have for now melinda gates julie again lard and winnie be any mouth thank you so much for joining the stream today we're at the end of the program but until next time we'll see you on mine. let me take the thing. like no place on. wild west the brain. under the strongest false dishonest scale. nation the concerts get that in stadiums that are in class. discover our newest destination defeat the women's world cup from 29 t.

sudan's military joins us steps up its crackdown against protesters and opposition groups. trades and the ongoing crises in venezuela and syria on the agenda as chinese president xi jinping meets vladimir putin in moscow. fighting back against the blockades qatar has reinvented itself 2 years on. and sports gianni infante and i was reelected as president of football's world governing body infantino says the quote toxic almost criminal days of fifa are in the past. but we begin in sudan where the ruling military joins our has unleashed a campaign of violence and intimidation against protesters seeking a handover of power to civilians doctors say at least one. 100 people have died

since monday's attack on protesters outside the military headquarters gunshots were fired in khartoum for a 3rd successive day and bodies pulled acts of the river nile a senior opposition leader has been beaten and arrested by security forces yes here our man had recently returned home after being in exile for years well last week the ruling genser had ordered him to leave the country the latest onslaught comes days after the military leadership blocked the flow of information outs of sudan or mayfair or see if the military ordered al-jazeera to cause its course in office without skipping a reason sudanese media outlets were also closed the internet has also been severely restricted inside the country stephanie decker reports. the muslim holiday of eid marked by gunfire this man appears to be shot getting

the full picture of what's going on across sudan is difficult. these are the 1st images from outside the military headquarters where thousands that camped until monday's crackdown it's been described to us by someone there as hopes and dreams destroyed the potential heart of a future sudan now with its arteries and veins cut off their head of sudan's you military council made this offer in an ied message on national t.v. . that we in the military council open our hands for unconditional talks and negotiations for the sake of our country's interests in order to complete the establishment of a legitimate authority that represents the variety of aspirations of the sudanese people's revolution. this is a u. turn just 24 hours off to britain halted negotiations with the protesters the death toll keeps rising since monday's attack on the protest camp and wider clampdown bodies are being pulled out of the river nile at least 40 so far according to

sudan's main doctors group there believed to been dumped there on the day of the crackdown by the rapid support forces or r s f formerly known as the gender weed militia and accused of committing more crimes in darfur the man in charge of them then now the deputy head of the military council. it is do know the aim of the rapid support forces and this is an important point is to be on the side of the revolution of the sudanese people this is what we are convinced of after the talks and the negotiations i feel sorry to say things were not on the right track. the military is being accused of confiscating mobile phones to try to stop the violence being documented and shared al-jazeera has correspondents in sudan but they've been told to leave the country and are currently confined to their hotel such of us reported paramilitary group is rated hospitals looking for injured protesters and the medical workers treating them and one of the rapid support forces came in and

attacked me and hit me here and over here as well may god punish them. the doctors' union says the beating suffered by patients and their colleagues are part of a wider campaign of violence. the miniatures apologized for the violence and says it will investigate its called for elections within 9 months something the opposition has rejected. just weeks ago protesters gathered full of hope the talks of the military council were on the verge of a breakthrough now that hope has turned to anger and protesters say they won't back down stephanie decker. well david shinn this is a former deputy chief of mission that the u.s. embassy in seats on he joins us now from washington d c david should we've been hearing the situation in sudan has been deteriorating rapidly how alarming is the situation would you say particularly given that people are being detained. is the army you nice is in this campaign it's carrying eyes i think the situation has

deteriorated in a major way and i don't think that the security forces are totally united never the last the transitional military council is a power and it is responsible for what is happening even if the rapid support forces basically are paramilitary organization as the one that's carrying out the killing you cannot have a successful negotiations between the protest group and the security forces so long as the security forces are killing fellow said news that absolutely has to stop and intel that stops i don't see any prospect for meaningful negotiations the transitional military council says that it is investigating these incidents but realistically how could investigate itself. well that's the problem and i don't think they can as i say there is a question about how much control they have over their own security forces or some

that are aligned with them but it's still their responsibility they're there either up to their job or they're not and it's you know it's time to stop the killing and insist that other groups are not involved in killing of any said news nationals and well how do you stop the killing in this instance recesses have been calling for international intervention in order to stop what is essential they see as being attacked by the people in charge of their country is anybody in sanaa showy willing to help the mice well the short answer is no they're not and quite frankly i'm not sure they're even capable of intervening in order to prevent sudanese security forces from killing fellow sydney is and it's not just not realistic the international community could do a lot more in putting pressure on the security apparatus in sudan particularly

countries like egypt saudi arabia united arab emirates the western governments and even countries like china and russia but they're not acting in a concerted way and in fact i think they have divided. loyalties towards what is happening and. both the international actors that you see he do you have leverage you have a say are countries like saudi arabia the u.a.e. are they likely are they likely to tell them of the treaty to still. i think if they're wise their world because their own interests are at stake here if they think that the long term solution is militarily pose security in perpetuity it's just not going to work the protesters have made

very clear that they are going to continue this effort and until they reach some satisfaction of their goals maybe not all of them but most of them there's not going to be peace and stability in the country and that is not in the interest of saudi arabia the u.a.e. any egypt ok i will have to leave it there david shinn but offend here very much indeed for bringing us your analysis there from washington d.c. and i as our viewers will know al-jazeera is not allowed to reports from sudan just syria's bureau there was closed we are entirely reliance on people contacting us to give us a sense of what is happening on the grounds. in this field we are now joined by a protester a member of the norm violent resistance movements house jews who joins us now from khartoum thank you very much for speaking to us here at al-jazeera can you just

give us a sense of what is happening on the streets right now. ok today the 2nd day of aids in so there is the number of people who've been reported dead has been on the rise. more bodies have been brought out from the sea so there's been a couple of funerals that happened today so the street is very tense also the ginger we had the rapid response for force are also all around the streets in the main streets and people are still blocking the streets so that the situation is very tense moving around the capital is hard. and we hear gunfire. in terms of protesters the protesters clearly do not want to back time we are seeing mobile phone footage which appears to be in films in secret showing members of the military patrolling the streets is it safe for protesters to leave their homes at the minute. and no it's not that thing about the rapid

response force or the gender is to stop you with a check your phone is the check your pockets and they loot you so it's not safe there's also been reports of rapes beatings for no good reason and even some of them are in military clothes and some of them are just in civilian clothes. walking around with machine guns the other thing is because and it has been cut in the country so the of seeing less and less videos because people are not able to share live videos which is the main form of video sharing using protest and people are not able to communicate as much it is this affecting your ability to process in sudan certainly with these restrictions we're seeing on restrictions on the internet restrictions on mobile phone access. is there any chance of regrouping and protesting again or are you very much reliance on staying at home and staying

out of trouble to stay safe. no thanks thanks to the period of the sit ins and the period of being able to communicate and. the other a lot of people are basically neighborhoods a lot of neighborhoods you know who's in your neighborhood who's active who wants to protest against the situation so people are protesting in their neighborhoods again together and they're organizing together so that's the main form of organizing happening right now we're not using phones as much because we're fearing phones are tapped you can easily be arrested with your phone or whatnot so the main form of protesting right now is just working within your community working within your neighborhood and because the protests now are announced throughout sudan it's . mass civil disobedience so all forms of disappear. strikes blocking streets. protesting so.
