he and 2 of his fellow opposition leaders were being forced into exile he says they were put onto a military helicopter and flown to juba the capital of south sudan against their will to do. what you like quickly and then when we cross the border battle south sudan before they're going to south sudan and we say the military council is not serious about saving the revolution and implementing its goals we are calling upon all international organizations to support us in resisting the deportations. monday was the 2nd day of a general strike in sudan intended to paralyze the country and force the transitional military council's hand you know my. martyrs have died a lot of things have happened with the civil uprising and
5:03 am
a lot of people have been affected for those who say the civil disobedience isn't successful and i saw it with my own eyes and these are lies. talks between the opposition and the military ground to a halt after a crackdown on a sit in a week ago the central committee of sudan doctors says almost 120 people died the health ministry says the death toll is half that an investigation is underway. a plan was to disperse the area and clean it up without getting closer to the main sit in area but mistakes were made when the plan was carried out not to let the situation let's just take into consideration that our forces never go deep into the city. ethiopian prime minister ahmed met with opposition members on friday he left a delegation behind in the hopes they can help negotiate an end to the crisis but the gulf between the protesters and the military remains why with no sign power

5:05 am
a crackdown by the minute the gentle has responded by ordering a shutdown of internet services net the oxen organization tracking internet disruptions say they've recorded and me a total blackout of internet coverage for much of monday mamadou of his age as a sudanese activist and a filmmaker who i spoke to earlier he says the crackdown on civilians has united the nation against the military agenda. and there was a national conference an official conference from the to congress and the to council states and delivering a 3 hour from the transition is offensive to them and that's when they're actually going to give up on the business of events even though it's really difficult for maintaining and that doesn't deny from going to get back to normality how big this event disobedience is you can actually see it there on the video and in the picture of the bench and the social media and the big evidence and the truth of the influence of the disobedience on the transition minister council is that going back to the official spokesman for the 10s of minutes accountant actually came out on
5:06 am
a press conference and useful. to the power freedom and change that we should end the civil disobedience which is a clear statement from them that this decision disobedience actually affected than barack. and he paralyze the movement in the country i'm from actually and it's like a ghost town most 99 no cars in the streets no no side great by brokers no people walking the streets 99 percent of all the shops the most the pharmacies are those electricity companies water providing companies they can make it in companies like as in like if you want to top up credit on the phone it's on the impossible not to do than talk to them and other cities because. most of the service providers are shut down. in the city and some people who work on dates of a. payment in their shops open it for
5:07 am
a few hours in order to get their money. and then to close it the good thing that the sudanese community is going to buy. may very parents are not and they're supporting each other by food providing water for those who are for the neighbors who need some transport started working today. movement today in the streets more than yesterday more cards can be seen in the streets but most of the shops are closed that's what an untidy. now the united nations is refusing to hand over the primacy of its peacekeeping mission in darfur chested on his military leadership that has issued a decree that the joint un an african union peacekeeping force in darfur give up the facilities the transitional military council. has decreed to the african union u.n. mission in darfur known as united to handover its present promises as part of our withdrawal next year in 2022 the rapid support forces but that is not in keeping with our existing agreement with the sudanese government and our insistence that
5:08 am
the facilities be used solely for civilian purposes the latest special report of the chairperson of the african union commission and the secretary general makes clear that the end users of all u.n. installations should be civilians it is important that units premises once handed over are used for the benefit of all the people of darfur an act of unspeakable barbarism that's how the un has described an attack on a village in central mali that's killed nearly $100.00 people the government says gunmen attacked a village of the dogon community and burned several houses in the up to region no one has claimed responsibility for sunday's attack but there's been violence between duggan hunters and rival for lonnie's in the past they've been fighting for access to land and resources while women and children were among those killed and the government says it will hold those responsible to account. at this moment a thought for those who once more hope for the motorist bullets just how to act in
5:09 am
the country and the un says that supporting government efforts to help the victims . the mission is coordinating its response in support of 1000000 authorities and the united nations system in mali is mobilizing to provide humanitarian assistance to help people affected the mission also provided air support this morning in support of the mali and government to prevent future of further attacks over neighboring senegal al jazeera as nicholas haq explains what the attack means for the paper of. the attack took place in the early hours in the morning where villagers were still asleep when men on motorbikes carrying machetes and guns killed people indiscriminately at least 95 people had been killed in this village called. do go on a village that's about 50 kilometers away from mookie which is in the center of mali you know no one has claimed responsibility for this attack the 1000000 security forces are on the ground to try to secure the area to ensure that there
5:10 am
are no more attacks in the air and try to apprehend those that may have been responsible for this it comes just months before there was another attack dog on fighters then attacking a full lonny villagers and what seems to be really an increase of intercommunal violence between the semi nomadic herders group that are the philosophies and the local doggone fighters each trying to vying for control of the land the full on these for their animals and the dog ran for agriculture in this is of course the increase of violence in mali it comes just days before the u.n. security council is supposed to renew the mind mandate of the un peacekeeping force there about 14000 men u.n. peacekeepers are supposed to bring back control of the country to the government of
5:11 am
burma can but the situation have gone has gone from bad to worse with what seems to have started with armed groups fighting the government of burma who are now really hitting the very fabric of society where villagers are attacking each other's neighbors attacking each other along ethnic lines and there's been several incidents of violence involving the 2 groups the u.n. says at least 488 people have been killed in attacks targeting filani cattle head has since last year in the central regions. to and say go the bloodiest among them was a new law when suspected dogan armed men killed $160.00 foot on even edges and that's near the border with the kenya fast so the un peacekeeping mission in mali has also blames the felonies for the deaths of $63.00 civilians in the up to region since january last year well adam de is the head of programs at the center for policy research at the united nations you know best and he joins us now via skype from new york adam as we've just described have seen a cycle of violence continuing here is that when the dog got on the filani
5:12 am
especially with what seemed to be almost retaliatory attacks talk us through what's causing us well i think one of the important things is to not treat this in isolation as your colleague said it's a series of what appear to be reprisal attacks in the same area and it isn't your community there's also the allegation that the people may be supporting some of the id groups which has escalated tensions as well but i think what you see is starting about 26 feet to now a real movement at the center of gravity of the conflict in mali from the north now into the center rear corp you were passed at ease to address it part your state the passages here you bend your past cities and so what it's meant is it's when there is it an attack on a counterattack there's less of an ability to respond to it quickly and so i think what we are facing now is the fact that central mali is the most dangerous part of the country but it's not actually where the major political or military resources have been placed on the part of the national authorities and the international well
5:13 am
adam i've got some figures here according to the international crisis group there were 4 times more attacks this may in 21000 compared to may 26th and this attack killed by some estimations a 3rd of the villages inhabitants presumably a large scale attack like this could happen again. i think to be frank it's quite it's quite likely and if you look at the details of incredibly brutal and the kind of language that the government has been using about massacres and taxes civilians women and children i think it's actually very likely that they'll be further attacks and the scale has gone up significantly and so i think the question that. the u.n. and the government is facing is really do you continue to focus on the political process the peace agreement the parties that are have joined the political process that are mainly in the north or do you try to get something new started in the south and one of the issues there is that there are no parties that are part of the
5:14 am
peace agreement in that area and in fact there is no real political will on the part of the government or the major groups in that area to enter into serious political talks now so the dilemma is how do you start something new in this area when this is where the violence is really spinning out of control well as you say the violence really escalated since around 20 child i believe when various misunderstanding groups also began operating in that region is that still contributing to the conflict then i think there's a real isn't that it is and that one of the largest groups could see that messina is taking advantage of the vacuum and whether or not it's true the allegations that some communities are supporting the jihadi groups and certainly driven tensions higher there isn't necessarily confirmation of that support but the narrative and then you have to take into account that there are certain troops on the ground whose sole goal is to eradicate the jihadist groups and so there are certain dimensions to this conflict that it's intervened on but it's intercommunal plus it's kind of. well and i also want to ask you very briefly there is a large u.n.
5:15 am
peacekeeping force in the country as well as french troops and they able to help manage the situation. well i think the starting point for that is speaking at the u.n. mission called the u.s. not between 2013 and 26 oversaw quite a lot of success there was an election there was a peace agreement there were large. returns at this place and it's really 26 teams at present that you see in that because the dynamics shift and i think that as of now where the conflict is not necessarily witnessed many they dismissed largely get lawyers either in the north were in the large urban areas like mugsy not where a lot of this intercommunal violence is taking place and so as your caller mentioned they're discussing a new mandate for the mission and aggressive should they be rebalanced in this version they mean more troops more resources more political emphasis to these areas where the conflict that is happening now. from the center for policy was set to the
5:16 am
united nations university thanks for your insights on al-jazeera. plenty more ahead on this news hour including of course in india jails 3 men for life over a brutal rape and murder of an 8 year old gal that shocked the nation plus. i'm saddened by it all in. its city where its model system of migrant integration is now at risk. and in sports the west indies do their best to raise spirits at the cricket world cup peta has the action. gemini's foreign ministers in iran looking for ways to preserve the nuclear deal. a european financial system designed to avoid u.s. sanctions should be up and running saying the e.u. along with the rest of the signatories to the 2015 agreement
5:17 am
a standing by it to the u.s. withdrew last year. i know indeed there's a serious situation in the region as collation of tension is becoming uncontrollable a military action wouldn't be in line with the interests of any party i have spoken with all the parties in my regional visit and no one has called for an escalation of tensions that's the message i'm convened from the region we had intensive talk today on the nuclear deal germany france and britain call for supporting the deal and we are fulfilling our commitments we can't do any miracle in this regard but we are doing our utmost efforts to prevent the failure of the deal. and iran's foreign minister says his country has never broken the promises it made under the new. to. the united states has declared economic war against iran this war is very dangerous for the region and the international order the measures taken by the u.s. after its weeks roll from the deal for us mean targeting the reigning nation iran
5:18 am
has proven that it used to international commitments 15 reports prove this reality but iran is also obligated to defend the rights of the iranian nation and now the u.s. state department has responded to serious comments making threats using nuclear blackmail and terrorizing other nations is typical behavior for the revolutionary regime in tehran tomorrow they will probably threaten once again to close the strait of hormuz we aren't impressed iran faces a simple choice it can either behave like a normal nation or watch its economy crumble well the u.n. has confirmed that iran is increasing its production of enriched uranium tehran had said it would boost out push if there was no progress on lifting sanctions the head of the u.n. nuclear agency said it's unclear whether the latest enrichment levels violate the agreement. i prefer not to mention the specific figure. due to the
5:19 am
self-preservation but i can say that a piece of production increased. accordance with the latest measurement well earlier i spoke to hillary mann leverett she's a former white house national security official she thinks there may be ways to defuse the tension between iran and the u.s. . i would put some hope and i would remain very cautious about this and i don't want to heighten expectations but i have some hope in the japanese prime minister aves visit to iran i think later this week or even perhaps even tomorrow at this point he is someone regarded as a good friend of president trump and someone who is regarded as a as a neutral fair arbiter i think by many in iran japan also has vital energy security interests and vital economic interests both in its relationship with the u.s. and with iran and has tried to really pursue a very careful approach to both countries i have some hope in that visit that at least could defuse tensions for the european union for the european union it's
5:20 am
a very difficult situation because president trump doesn't have very much regard 8 i'm sorry to say for his german counterpart and germany is really the powerhouse of the european union so without a good relationship there there's no real u.s. support for the europeans to make good on their end of the iran nuclear agreement so i don't have a lot of hope in that channel but perhaps perhaps richer pay on perhaps for qatar iraq for oman those tunnels i would put a little bit more hope in to defuse the tension syrian government and russian and strikes have killed at least $27.00 people in and neighboring aleppo province the attacks targeted dozens of towns and villages across the last rebel controlled territories in the north of the country the one to tell me it's a syrian rescue group says the majority of those killed were children president bashar al assad's forces know nj to an offensive to recapture and parts of how many provinces in april more than 300000 people have been displaced and hospitals have

5:32 am
are a lot. from el paso about the us mexico border how does your castro explains the impact of the deal on asylum seekers. there's a lot of confusion surrounding this so-called secret deal because the united states and mexico have very different versions of exactly what it amounts to president donald trump has tweeted that this is an agreement that has been signed and documented and you call this an immigration security agreement with mexico that refuses to release further details however speaking with reporters mexico's foreign minister myself this morning called it an agreement he said this was not a deal at all he did confirm that mexico has sent 6000 national guard troops throughout mexico to deter central american migrants from proceeding north he also said mexico is expanding this program of allowing central american asylum seekers
5:33 am
to wait just south of the u.s. border as their cases wind through u.s. courts however both of those measures have been agreed upon months ago truncheon said is spinning this as a result of his hard line immigration measures that threatened by percent tariff which would it take to end today and the result of fevered negotiations for mexico to avoid that threat to american conservatives have already many have supported trump saying that this was effective at his threats were in deed useful and having mexico capitulate however the real story is still to be revealed exactly what this agreement comes down to what is not in dispute is the fact that this border is under immense strain more than 130. 1000 people were apprehended by border patrol they were asylum seekers in central america the process of border illegally trying to become better life in the united states that was that 13 year high and here now
5:34 am
how so in this border behind me a few weeks ago more than a 1000 central american family seekers skirted this border fence and surrender themselves to american authorities and now the u.s. president says he's open to the possibility of imposing further tariffs on chinese imports expected to meet chinese president xi jinping at the g 20 summit in japan this month earlier trump threatened to raise tariffs if he couldn't reach a trade deal with she at the summit he's also repeated his claim that the tariffs are good for the u.s. economy right now we're getting 25 percent or $250000000000.00 worth of goods a lot of money is pouring into our treasury we've never gotten $0.10 from china and that we're getting a lot of money from china and i think that's $1.00 of the reasons that g.d.p. was so high in the 1st quarter because of the tariffs that we've taken in from china we always have the option to raise it another 300000000000 to 25 percent and the 25 percent to be much higher than 25 percent but roger penske said that's

enough. and the u.s. says it's gravely concerned about the erosion of hong kong's special legal status and follows mass protests over a bill facilitating extradition to mainland china organizers say more than a 1000000 people took part and another demonstration is planned for wednesday hong kong's chief executive is standing by the bill saying it simply closes a legal loophole while we will continue to do the communication and explanation there's very little to america to be gained in the tool of delaying the bill it would just hold small inside and do business in society while beijing's accusing outside as of stoking the protests out china correspondent adrian brown explains. well from beijing's perspective hong kong has become a haven for criminals which is why it supports plans for a new extradition bill and on monday the foreign ministry spokesman confirmed that the central government supports kerry lamb's efforts in that regard but also warned
5:36 am
of external intervention in hong kong's internal affairs but he wouldn't elaborate on what he meant by that he also appeared to dispute the figure that more than a 1000000 people took part in sunday's rally and protest saying he preferred to believe the figure of the hong kong government that no more than 240000 people had participated but the message he wanted to get over again and again was that beijing supports caroline. firstly the central government will continue to firmly support the government of the hong kong special administrative region to push forward the amendments of the extradition bill secondly china is strongly opposed to any external interventions in hong kong's legislative affairs state controlled media has largely ignored the events in hong kong but the china daily newspaper which tends to reflect government thinking carried an editorial on monday which blamed
5:37 am
foreign forces for what it called the chaos in hong kong saying the people of hong kong had been hoodwinked the foreign ministry spokesman also had another message he said that hong kong's freedoms would continue to be protected by china and the law was a pleasure activist in hong kong and she wants the international community to exact more pressure on the government. the city is split asunder there are those who are on the side of willingly or unwillingly but there are many who are terrified of you know the chinese legal system coming into hong kong and as you can see more than a 1000000 people march yesterday very peacefully there were those who were very rich and very poor very old and very young and they were all united by their fear of the chinese communist party and the chinese legal system coming into hong kong it will be like a truck driving through picking up making a big hole in one country 2 systems then we will be crushed we will have one
5:38 am
country one system human rights trodden said national boundaries anybody anywhere have a right to speak out when they see human rights problems existing so i don't i don't care ok they can come on the rest of us but we have to continue to speak out and i want britain i want britain and the international community to keep an eye on hong kong we are a lovely by bridge free city and nobody wants to see a scratched by evil forces so i hope the international community will continue to keep an eye on hong kong. in haiti opposition leaders have launched a 2 day strike amid protests demanding the resignation of president juvenile noise government offices schools and businesses are closed protest as a put up roadblocks in the capital foreign friends for a 2nd day noises faced months of demonstrations over allegations of the theft of
