the votes to control the outcome a walker reports now from the capital. was this was not the electoral turnout the old thirty's wanted disorder in kazakstan capital. and 2nd city almaty was the only course the vote protesters cried because they do not believe this election office them a real choice. some said they supported the democratic choice of kazakstan political party. and i'm not afraid because i've had enough i've been living without a home in temporary accommodation for 3 years i'm fed up others said they wanted freedom to demonstrate because unsanctioned protests are illegal and hasn't started any just the election isn't fair it's all been decided already it's not choices as

they are all. it's the. circus was the cry police now working their way down essentially the street the protesters are in front of me they are trying to say hey the police. in the street drives are being seized. that it's really getting it's a good difficult situation the good the bad. this was the image the authorities wanted to project an orderly participation by the electorate in a peaceful transition of power. nor to turn as a boy of the man who ran kazakstan for nearly 30 years has stepped into retirement although he retains significant powers as chairman for the life of the country's security council he's chosen successor. to talk i have his own cause to take over

what is your specific message to those individuals who are campaigning for democracy and rights in this country those individuals you've been detained are advised all the law enforcement agencies to be tolerant. society restraint but any serious violations of our laws of course will not be tolerated but at the same time i urge all the young people. on the same loan. to exercise restraint to be tolerant to the part of the government a rare acknowledgement because it's deserved more political freedom although that didn't stop the tensions kazakstan has never seen an election day quite like this before robyn for

a steelworker al-jazeera nor saltire let's just return to one of our top stories of course that press conference between the iranian and german foreign ministers in tehran over the 2015 nuclear deal in the ongoing tension in the region dosser bari as our correspondent in iran joins me now from tehran and also you were in that press conference and we weren't expecting actually a joint press conference but i think the gravity of the situation in the region of course between iran and the u.s. in conjunction with the e.u. is cause for concern and it i presume the 4 minutes is needed to say something. yes absolutely so while the iranian foreign minister and his german counterpart met for just over 2 hours behind closed doors in one of the rooms that is known as the hall of mirrors within the foreign ministry and when they came out to look well not extremely positive a they were slightly more optimistic than when they went inside the cording to the iranian foreign minister said that they had very serious

discussions and that they talked about all the major issues that are. happening in the region and he said that iran is in an economic war that's been declared. and that's something that according to very dangerous not only for the rain you mentioned before the region as well as the world he said that the u.s. actions taken recently show that they have that they want to destroy this agreement not only did they withdraw from it last year but they are actually destroying that is something. is not willing to do at the moment the german foreign minister stressed the their country's commitment to it and also the use trying this 2015 nuclear agreement this is something that according to the iranian foreign minister took over toll of diplomacy and over 2 years of negotiations to reach this deal so it is not something that they want to this regard lightly despite the fact that the

united states has withdrawn from it all of kools earlier in the day we sold the foreign minister we heard the foreign ministry also giving a press briefing in particular soon already. in the statement seemed very defiant and be resolute certainly putting iran scase front and center a very clear clear message coming from to hold. yes absolutely i think it's very interesting even with the foreign minister today he was a very nationalistic there's a very nationalistic tone with the foreign minister zarif talk that when he was asked that 5 iran destabilizing the region he said we have the iranian people have been in this area of the world for over 7000 years we ask the others when they came into this region and what they've been doing they got so he was very very strong in his words and he was adamant that iran is currently at war economic war waged on them and that they are trying their best and they will only by western powers

indeed and certainly when. the german foreign minister one gets the impression that the tone of the conversation for iran is that it's make or break in terms of the relationship between iran and the e.u. in terms of making sort of the payment scenario that they want to see operation actually start working. well yes definitely because after the u.s. withdrew from the nuclear agreement they prevented the european countries to do business with iran and what the european countries have d is set up a system called instax which hasn't actually launched yet they are trying to do that as soon as possible and the head of that branch has also traveled with the german foreign minister on this trip today in tehran as well and the iranians are saying that we have done nothing wrong we are trying to work with this agreement we

have held 5 our end and now it is your turn to show us that you can also be trusted and the iranian foreign minister zarif also pointed out that it is not for iran to discuss its ballistic missile program. military program activities unless the united states and the european union can show that this nuclear agreement was something they can trust then that there is some trust between all sides before they can move forward to discuss other programs within iran that will leave the calls and follow more developments of the new progress and also jabari iran correspondent. let's go to africa where sudanese state television is reporting the 3 opposition leaders arrested over the weekend have been released the military has defended its crackdown on unarmed protesters saying it's their job to ensure the safety of the country at least 4 more people were killed on sunday in khartoum and

neighboring jamaal a shell has will. sunday marks the beginning of the we can sudan but rather than work commutes and traffic jams the streets of khartoum are empty these videos appear to show that the public has heated the calls by pro-democracy groups for civil disobedience and the general strike. and. the people cannot be governed by force and i'm not saying this neither as a member of the opposition nor is someone who supports the government but the people do not want this government and as you can see the streets are empty shops are closed i personally want to civilian government. for the sudanese people also had a big role to play in order for the civil disobedience to be executed in the correct way and on its 1st day i think that it has been 300 percent successful. the movement for freedom and change together with the sudanese professionals union had announced sunday's action in response to the military gintas seizing of power

and the continued crackdown on protesters. it's still not known how many people were killed by the security forces during last week's massacre when the main pro-democracy sit in was forcibly dispersed but a sudanese doctor's group puts the toll in the past week at 117. you know me then we will take the wealthier of the citizens especially when the citizens refused to acknowledge the call to civil disobedience and were determined to go to work this despite the difficulties and the barricades we have therm that the military council is not an enemy of the forces of change will freedom or any other political entity in the country and we a 3rd determination to achieve the aims of the revolution and in particular the desired democratic change the military forces and the rapid support forces are ensuring the security of the people and the country. despite an attempt by the if your pm prime minister to mediate between the gent's and pro-democracy groups being

received well by both sides security forces arrested several of the group's leaders within hours of the if your pm pm departs in khartoum the man believed to be calling the shots in the military council is its vice presidents mohammed 100 on matty the former warlords and his notorious gender weed forces have been accused of committing war crimes during the darfur conflict that doesn't bode well for sudan's pro-democracy protesters added to that the military's leadership has held several meetings with saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon emeritus de facto leader mohammed bin zayed and egypt's cruelly their turn presidents are different the all of whom have been accused by human rights groups of cracking down on free speech. the main groups behind sudan's revolution have insisted they will remain peaceful and not give up their demands for freedom despite their differences violence general strikes like sunday's are an example of peaceful resistance but in a country with a history of conflict in a region where revolutions have tried into civil wars there is genuine concern for

sudan's future. or just 0. zain is a saddam researcher. on the list and joins me on the set hey good to have you with us every day 2 of the sort of public general strike that we're seeing across sudar and what's your general assessment of how successful or not it has been while this is supposed to be in a cumulative effect of the the disobedience supposed to be a cumulative if this is started yesterday all indications are that there was. highly successful in many areas of sudan this morning. all sources from social media and some of the media outlets also show that it still continues the organizers of this disobedience the forces for freedom and change they continue to call on people to continue the pressure on the. military transition and

council and also the actions of yesterday did fuel because remember yesterday there were incidences of killing people. in khartoum north about 40 people were killed so that repressive measures from the militants concert continues some of the leaders where arrested is still. arrested the crackdown on the street continued so i think the the vironment is all promising for a successful. outcome yes but remember this we're talking about the disobedience the outcome depends on other factors that we can talk about indeed and not comes in time historically when we see incidents like this we've seen them in libya we see them in syria we see them in egypt we've seen people on the streets day in day out day in day out sudan is counted in a very different way in the sense that the disobedience itself if you want to call

it that the people power has stayed within doors is that the right type. tactic under the surface of the sort of circumstance of these. is sudan a different case in terms of the way people power works yes indeed it is a different case remember sudan learnt a lesson from its own experiences in the last 50 years or so to prevail 100 $64985.00 it also from the experiences of the arab spring around the region and now it manifests itself after internalizing all the lessons learned from that and remember also the this revolution is a culmination of the struggle against the former again it is started in the preface the war in dar for the nuba mountains the blue nile in the east and so that the struggle started for many years before it is culminated in what is happening in the

capital and in fact this i think is going to be the success fact that that it is started it outside and then came to the capital as opposed to for example libya it started in eastern libya. remember the crackdown on the press and also in syria it is different so this dennis scenario in many aspects i would argue is quite different and it lends a lot of lessons from its previous. anecdotes in the i'm going to come to my own question really in play devil's advocate here because while we say is the technique working is it successful there is the alternative and you've talked about people being shot and killed and we've heard of reports from various eyewitnesses in khartoum talking about bodies being pulled out of the river whether they be professionals or from various demographics or the other counter-argument is are people too scared to come out onto the streets knowing that if they do demonstrate in the small or large numbers there is the possibility that they could be fatally

hurt. you know that the rapid security forces in no remember on monday last week. when the crackdown on the city in happened the moment the news is spread that 4 or 5 people only people or 5 people were killed. in the capital and in others to dennys cities and towns were filled with people there at the response actually even . more aggressive at that time so i think the more the transitional military council resolves to a repressive measures arresting people killing people the more it antagonizes in the streets and people will come out more interest and some of what is happening i think we should see what happens certainly in the coming days of them again joining us here. well in a few moments we'll have the weather with kevin but still ahead here on out as.

talking about just a disturbance but we do have a circulation with the sister birds and we do think that in the coming days the storm is going to be increasing in intensity as it makes its way towards the north so as we go towards tuesday the storm pushes fairly quickly to the north it's bring you a lot of rain across parts of coastal carolina as well now where in the monsoon this is really going to enhance the rain charity over the next few days across that region as we go towards wednesday the storm system is expected to crease even more and it gets very close to the state of gujarat here in the northwestern part of india so this could be making landfall as we go from wednesday and into thursday we're going to be watching this very carefully but there are a lot of questions as we go to this area and this point in time is going to be making landfall where it's going to be making landfall and how intense will the storm be it will definitely bring some very heavy rain along the coastal areas across much of this region and we could be seeing some localized coastal flooding in this area but in terms of timing we still have

a massive impact on civilians in and around that city but is also likely to be pushing people to take options that otherwise might not thought of including crossing by sea. u.s. president will trump is pushing back against media reports that his latest agreement with mexico doesn't actually contain in think new they want us to trump threaten to impose tariffs on all imports. more to stop asylum seekers from crossing into the u.s. the report soon emerged that the deal with steel balls agreements that were reached once again from washington alan fischer explains what difference there is in the room that. while there are some new elements to this 1st of all the idea that the national guard in mexico would be deployed to the southern border to stop people coming up through the country are partly an agreement was reached in december between the u.s. and mexico what we have now is a number around 5000 national guard troops will do that job and also

a time scale mexico say they are moving on and they are moving on it quickly mexico is also going to make it easier for people to stay in mexico while the asylum claims are held in the united states know that whole thing is being challenged in the courts here in the u.s. so that might not become such a key issue donald trump has also said in a tweet on sunday that there is one big thing that wasn't unknowns when the news release about this went out on friday and that will become clear at the appropriate time no idea what that could possibly be and also he is saying that mexico has agreed to buy a great deal of agricultural produce from the united states but that has left both people here in the u.s. and in mexico are scratching their heads saying there is no such agreement mexico has entered into no agreement about agricultural products what supporters of donald trump are saying is that the threat of tire lives undoubtedly made mexico come to

the table because within hours of him seeing that this was a possibility that the foreign minister of mexico was in washington discussing a deal this also gives donald trump a convenient political out if the situation on the border does not improve that he can say this is not a problem this is mexico and he may well raise the issue of type of sigyn because the talents for the moment are only suspended not completely canceled. both the u.s. and mexico have hailed the agreement as a success but as the whole the ripples. on mexico guatemala many of those trying to reach the u.s. see the deal differently. was during the united states and mexico celebrating the new agreement mexico's avoided the threatened us terrorists the u.s. has the promise mexico will tighten its borders. it's been sold as a trial by both sides but there's bound to be a human cost and these people maybe it central americans trying to get through

mexico to the u.s. and cool it up in the crackdown the president trying to push pull in the couple of hours we spent at the mix can checkpoint 5 groups who are detained. many like honduran dad manuel say that the end demick violence and chronic poverty in their homelands means there's little choice but to flee if i let you know that it's the situation here organized crime there's no work america it's a whole lot we can't get there but he and his family will now most likely be headed back home and this is just the beginning mexico's national guard are being deployed to the border to. mexico's rode out that kind of blanket security before and it's led to migrants taking even more dangerous and isolated routes. watermelon teofilo is still recovering from his own taste of the people smugglers squeezed him and some 50 others into

a truck standing up and drove it through mexico's mountainous backroads it plunged into a ravine killing 25 people on medicare when i woke up and heard that 6 of my friends from the community had died 3 of whom had gone to school with me i was very sad the solution many would say is to simply stay at home and the new agreement does include a plan for development in central american countries so that people don't have to leave but the presidents of honduras el salvador and guatemala themselves have been virtually silent during this crisis and without their support their countrymen could be forgiven for thinking that in this new deal they've been left on their own john home and i'll just say it a couple true that mexico california will become the 1st u.s. state to pay for health benefits for some adults living there illegally the plan agreed by democrats will apply to almost 200000 low income adults aged between 19

and 25 california will start taxing people who don't have health insurance to help pay for the program the move revives a nationwide penalty that was imposed under former president barack obama's health care law peter matthews is a professor of political science at cypress college and something telephony says the measure could help pave the way for other u.s. states to implement a single payer health care system. it could turn an example for other states like new york the largest states the more affluent states to pursue this path as well but it's actually reflection of governor gavin newsom's attempt to get a single payer system ultimately in california he campaigned on it he actually said the beginning we took office he'd like to implement that in the beginning of getting part of the segment of population to be covered even the undocumented folks to some extent i think the supreme court the 2 justices that are the conservative ones that he appointed the trump appointed you know the decision kavanaugh these does this is have not been proven yet on the economic level economic decisions such as this they might actually go along with allowing california this particular

writer freedom to do this because they also believe in the centralized government so it's possible that this could go through and be upheld by the courts it's just only one segment those only about $90000.00 people $98000000.00 that still leaves millions of california uncovered both who are born here legally and working here as well as undocumented american californians who are here who are not covered with health care and it's very dangerous because when people who work in public sector jobs like in restaurants or other places they must be ensured that they are covered health wise so they can go take care of any potential disease or infection they could have passed on the rest of population so it's just a practical question also a full stop ical one which goes to the point that health care is a human right that should be guaranteed for all and that's something the most modern civilized countries have at least 2 people are being killed during anti-government protests in haiti's capital port au prince demonstrators set up roadblocks and torched buildings in cars they say prison driven the ones they stole money from venezuela's oil aid program must resign haiti is the poorest country in
