the way. i'm going to go to school to including the to run to rap his. securing their 1st n.b.a. championship in state it's on to gain 6 against the golden state warriors. hello we begin with breaking news from sudan where an ethiopian envoy says the opposition alliance will suspend the civil disobedience campaign and strike from wednesday in turn the military has reportedly agreed to release some political detainees and the announcement comes on the 1st day of the strike residents stayed indoors and businesses remained shut in much of the capital hard to protest leaders had been promising to continue their campaign until the military gave up power the military crackdown on protesters staging sit in on last week has left at least

129 people dead mohamed valas joining us here on set he's covered the protests in sudan extensively what are you hearing about the suspension. yes it may look like may sound like a surprise to many but we've been hearing about it in the last couple of days the suspension happened because of the going to happen because the freedom of forces and forces of freedom and change they know that they can't continue a civil disobedience continuously they can't keep it going because that will turn the population against them it will affect the livelihood of the people and also for this card to remain powerful they have to be able to hold it back and then to use it again remember they lost the card of the protest in the city that was the most powerful card in their hands in the negotiation with the military they lost its guys it was dispersed now the the only remaining card they have is the civil disobedience and they know that if the if the it impacts the population negatively

. that would backfire on them and also now that they have some concessions from the military council this is the right moment to suspend it and according to my information they're not suspending it suspending means they're not abandoning it right but they are suspending it right so they're going to use it again when they need and what about those concessions that they've managed to do what they do in the month in quite many many things they've been demanding the release of the political prisoners they've been demanding the return of the normal life they've been demanding that a coalition on the part of the military council of what happened their responsibility of about the killing of those people who are monday on june 30th you know they've got something the military also has some problems because the last the higher moral ground because moral high ground because of what happened because of the suspicions and the accusations that they have killed civilians and now they have to give something and there is tremendous pressure from the from the outside

world those condemnations across the border and also the the ovoid the chop in the legation there and the africa needs suspension of sudan so the military council has to do something and now the other. starting to give in to give some concessions not to many according to the news lines that we have now but also but at least the release of some prisoners and the acceptance of the things that the 2 sides have already agreed on remember a few days back after the massacre they said we're not going to go back to the same agreements again now they are saying they will go back to those agreements what they're also saying we're also hearing. as you're saying they've both sides have agreed to uphold all their previous agreements on power sharing and to continue to talk about the structure of the sovereign council or not issue of the sovereign council is highly significant because that's where the differences lie actually yes that's the sticking point because remember they agreed on forming the transitional

bodies they agreed on 3 years transition very agreed on the percentage of in terms of the government and the parliament the only sticking point the most divisive this is division one was the majority of the supreme council should it be military or should be civilian right now they will go back to this point to discuss it and we have to wait and see so is it difficult to see how this point in particular then is going to be resolved. it's going to remain a difficult point for some time to come during the negotiations because remember everything is about who will rule so then during these 3 years if the majority of the council is military then then the expectation is that the military will have the final say and they will be able to orient both local both domestic and foreign policies the revolutionaries or the the protest leaders they have to return to the people of sudan the people who are supporting the supporters with something in their hands they can't they can't you know after all those months of protests and

sacrifice be subordinate to the military that's going to be just a coup according to many sunnis so they need to be able to say to their population to their base that this is really a revolution this is change because now civilians are ruling so that to do that they have to have majority in the sovereign council and they have to have the head probably of the sovereign council a civilian ok thank you very united nations says it's shocked and outraged at the killing of at least 95 villagers in a suspected revenge attack in mali a dog an ethnic village was raided with homes set on fire in the mopti region sunday's attack was the latest in a series of atrocities involving rival ethnic groups competing for access to land and water. well the u.n. special representative for mali denounced what he calls an act of unspeakable barbarism mom. also heads the un peacekeeping mission in mali said the threshold

of the unbearable is rich it is time for a nationwide outcry victoria gave me reports. it was a surprise attack in the middle of the night men on motorbikes wielding machetes and guns looking for people from the doggone ethnic group men women and children were killed and others injured in the attack is similar to another 3 months ago when suspected dog unarmed men killed 160 filoni villages in august saguenay near the border with the kenya fassel. mali president abraham day because kater held a minute's silence for the victims during an official visit to switzerland. at this moment a thought for those who once more have fallen on the motorist bullets an unjust and cowardly act in still going country felonies on a matic her does he move in search of fodder for their cattle villages resent them

invading their farmland and those disagreements often turn violent. there are 13000 un peacekeeping troops in mali to protect people from armed groups linked to al qaida increasingly they're dealing with fighting between neighboring villages 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 further attacks there if it is the intercommunal conflict is escalating this year has seen some of the deadliest incidents of ethnic violence in mali in a generation everybody know that the government is missing in action it is not going to send its image to address the lack of presence of the states in places where they are coming out of strife. between the 4 of these the dog owners and the tacky march led to several military commanders being sacked but many money in say

the government and un forces need to do much more to stop the bloodshed the turia gate to be al jazeera nicholas hike is joining us from ali's capital bamako any claim of responsibility to this latest attack nicholas. no one has claimed responsibility for this attack although when there was an attack against the floor of the community by dawn villagers back in march. when was the mean and its leader who for had called on the full on these 2 to rebel. organized revenge attacks against the doggone community remember for some of the full on even some of the armed groups they perceive their dog on hunters as state sponsored militia groups and that attack that happened against the full mining community back in march that resulted in 167 people dead resulted in the collapse

of of mali's government because the prime minister at that time had showed its support to the doggoned militia groups there in and how much pressure is the government under to respond nicolas. well there it is not just the government that's under pressure it's also the $14000.00 u.n. peacekeeping force and the $4000.00 french soldiers that are on the ground we've got a combined of $20000.00 foreign forces there are here to look to bring back stability to this country and yet again you know the the various security forces were warned that there is ethnic tension between the dog on the full on the population when this attack took place at 700 local time it lasted through the night until 1 o'clock in the morning before any help any security forces could come to the ground

we heard in victoria's report the u.n. says that it offered air support but that's something that the villagers on the ground did not see that did not bring security to them so it took them hours before security forces came on the ground this fight that there was a 1000000 base 50 kilometers away just less than an hour's drive away and there is a u.n. force there and there is the french forces not far in the region who are well equipped with helicopters and with other. means to intervene and yet they all think to intervene so there's a lot of question for the united nations and for the modern government who seems to be trying to save face at the moment the president has just come back from switzerland he's expected to go on the ground calling for national unity but people want much more than words they want action they want security on the ground there and right nicolas hi thank you. 19 people have been killed in an attack in burkina

faso it happens in the northern town of. the identity of the attackers is still unknown armed groups have killed hundreds in recent months forcing 150000 people to flee their homes. a wave of public anger in russia has forced off sorties to make a rare u. turn over a case against a popular journalist. with more from our herea pm broadcast center there in thank you yes all charges against the russian reporter even have been dropped and he's just walked free from a police station the investigative journalist had been accused of drug his lawyers said the drugs were actually planted by authorities russia's interior minister says he will ask president vladimir putin to sack 2 senior police officers over the case of is known for his work exposing corruption among moscow's political elite well from moscow let's go live now to step of vasant who is there for us us that go. has

just walked out of the police station what's he had to say. well around 15 minutes ago he walked out of the fund i got enough walked out of this a police station there an electronic bracelet that he was wearing since his house arrest was removed and he came out and there were like bands of people here cheering of course they were very happy to see him and he basically thanked everyone for their support and also said that the best thing that could come out of this was that this experience would be a lesson so it won't happen again this is of course quite a surprising and unusual turn of events here in russia because it's not the 1st time that a journalist or a human rights activist has been framed drugs case but most of the time these cases will just stick the people will stay in prison for very long time if you're caught up in this legal system but this time it was different because in the last couple of days you could already notice that the kremlin was kind of uncomfortable with

this case or the spokesman person of blood inside well maybe some mistakes have been made and normally he would say well we can't interfere in the law and basically the difference is that there was a massive out poor of protest and sympathy for this journalist who's an investigative journalist and of course people were very worried that if this could happen to him it also could happen to to anyone basically it's also people within the state media came out for his support and i think that sort of has troubles and worries people high up in the ranks here in moscow ok so i guess that's one explanation why the charges were dropped in this case is slightly different from cases we've seen before but what do you see the consequences of all of this will be . well i think one of the consequences is that people have a feeling now that actually they can make a difference there was this kind of apathy here in russia that most of the time well the government does something and you can't really do anything against it now

basically to have a feeling while these protests have worked so maybe we could try this again so this is something of course that the government will need to think about again what what what are the consequences and also some people say well police has been you merely ated in this case as you said some high ranking police officers will probably be sacked so what will be the response from police so there's a lot of questions about how this is going to go continue but of course a lot of people here feel that this is definitely a victory a victory for the people they say steadfast some of the latest on that story in moscow step thank you. the ukrainian president volodymyr zelinsky has ordered an investigation into the course of course of a fire at a psychiatric clinic 6 people were killed in the blaze which started late on monday in the southern port of of the stuff patients were evacuated from the burning building as firefighters battled the flames police have launched a criminal investigation. one of the u.k.'s largest charities has been heavily

criticised for failing to disclose allegations of child abuse by its workers a damning report by the charity commission says that oxfam g.b. had a culture of tolerating poor behavior oxfam aid workers were alleged to have used prostitutes in haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010 there were claims that some of the prostitutes were as young as 12 or 13 the report says the charity did not do enough to investigate the allegations oxfam has apologized for its quote shameful actions this is an organization that has lost sight to some extent to what it stands for and the people that it exists to serve oxfam an organization which is about relieving poverty in. people anywhere in the in the world and in their response to events in haiti what we saw from their reporting to the

commission and to other or thought is was a lack of full and frank disclosure and therefore we see in and take the view that they were putting their own corporate reputation 1st instead of the people who had come to harm. more from europe. now though let's go back to. our birth thank you all plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera means hour including hong kong protests why china says there is nothing sinister about the self-governing territory needing a new extradition law. new u.s. sanctions target syrian officials close to president bush. and a prayer for a big. boston red sox star recovers after being shot peter the details in sports.

so the u.s. is imposing sanctions on a syrian businessman and his family who washington say have profited from the 8 year war sam and his 2 brothers. have close ties to president assad's very being cut off from the u.s. financial system for allegedly assisting assad and his government have made millions by developing luxury properties on land seized from those who fled the war . joining us from washington d.c. what more do we know about these sanctions. well what this will do is it will prevent americans from doing business with these companies with these individuals if there are any assets in the country those can be frozen what's more interesting is this is an administration that hasn't really been very focused on syria but now the treasury department is saying that they're going to issue sanctions against 16 people and entities as you mentioned it involves according to treasury's stealing property from syrian people to build luxury developments in damascus and it also is

going to impact this company with wide ranging holdings throughout the middle east they're involved grain sugar oil field production into companies that they say are taking oil from iran and selling it in syria so what's unusual about this is this is not something that the truck the ministration has put a lot of focus on it appears now the treasury department is going to change that just with these 16 sanctions so far. thank you. the united nations has unanimously adopted a resolution on people missing in conflict zones and is calling on the warring parties to live up to their legal obligations to tackle the issue doesn't have exact figures but the u.n. says it does know the situation is dire more than 45000 people were registered as missing last year alone many in syria nigeria mean more south sudan and yemen the u.n. says some of the missing have been executed many ending

a breed in unmarked mass graves it says warring parties are obliged to prevent people from going missing and to clarify their fate if they do robert margene is the international committee of the red cross as permanent observer to the united nations he's joining us from new york very good job with us on the al-jazeera news hour and you were heavily involved in negotiations on this particular resolution and it's really the 1st if it's kind talk us through the significance if it's. it is significant it's the 1st time the u.n. security council adopts such a reason lucian on the missing person it is a critical issue of humanitarian concerns 1st and foremost to millions of families across the planet that are waiting for news about their loved ones so i think this is important to have a security council to unite the on on such a critical issue and where there is allusion is drawing on very concrete steps that

states can undertake to minimize or reduce the number of missing persons and you you also call for 4 steps for states to take 4 steps one of which states must put in place preventative measures i suppose the question is is there the political will to do so because often we find that states themselves are complicit in missing persons. well the best preventative measure is to make sure that during conflict states and non-state armed groups respect and ensure respect for international humanitarian law the laws of for making sure that during conflict there when people are arrested for instance they don't go missing for instance organizations like the i.c.r.c. can have access to detention facilities and can register people arrested so that

they cannot the disappear is critical the sound management of the dead bodies in conflict is also a very concrete measure to to prevent that people and the dead go go missing so this is important and it's everybody's business to make sure that those basic rules are there and not wake up once the conflict is over and and decide to take care of this critical humanitarian issue is there a sort of fit in force meant a mechanism that's put in place to monitor whether these steps are being taken that you speak of and also i suppose if you can just clarify for us how this resolution would apply to countries for example like syria where the i.c.r.c. says that there are more than 10000 people missing. well the i.c.r.c. today is yelling with the with the course of 140000 cases of missing persons but

this of course is only the tip of the iceberg if you look at the magnitude of the problem there are much more people missing around the globe in the middle east and other contexts you mentioned my own more nigeria and others but yemen syria. iraq is a case in point we are still working on the missing of the iraq iran war imagine 30 more than 30 years after the conflict to the conflict ended so everything. is binding for states and the armed groups so we don't need to reinvent the wheel but there should be greater respect and making sure that for instance states who are supporting other states or. non-state armed groups also make their support contingent for rigorous respect for the rules or for rights and we thank you very much robert martini 1st speaking to us from new york there's been more

protests in hong kong against a proposed extradition bill security was tight around the legislature building with riot police deployed in some areas they proposed bill would allow people from hong kong to be sent to mainland china for a trial to do for a 2nd round a debate in the legislative council controlled by a pro beijing majority. until he built a life for you i'm urging schools parents organizations businesses and unions to seriously consider if they encourage such radical behavior what good does it do for hong kong society everybody should know there are consequences when you break the law these consequences have a huge impact on both adults and young people china's leaders continue to voice support for hong kong's leader adrian brown reports from beijing where legal experts are defending a proposed law. china began aggressively pursuing chinese fugitives overseas 5

years ago that's when president xi jinping began an anti corruption campaign that continues in the words of state media some suspects were persuaded to return others were extradited from one of more than 30 countries that now have a treaty with china a criminal lawyer i represented 2 suspects who ended up on a plane back to china both receive suspended jail terms proof he says that the rights of suspects are being safeguarded in china. and they sang what some people you hong kong oppose or warry about setting up banks addition system with china and i personally think is unnecessary because the positives ice way overrides the negative side because he says it would ultimately help to reduce crime in both hong kong and china chinese officials say there's nothing sinister about hong kong needing a new expedition law they say the territory has become a haven from justice for hundreds of criminals who can't be prosecuted because of

the legal loophole china's legal system is controlled by the communist party and say critics is biased towards a presumption of guilt especially in high profile or politically sensitive cases like those involving human rights lawyers government statistics report a 99 percent convey. should write in 2072 short and is one of a handful of activists still prepared to talk to the foreign media he says the hong kong protest is all right to resist the plan's new extradition little some gangster john war since i hung kong is the only place under communist rule where people can take to the streets to express their opinions and i support them the last time we did that in mainland china was 30 years ago. china's state media says the violence after sunday's rally in hong kong was premeditated and planned.

hello there we're still seeing plenty of showers over many parts of turkey the satellite picture showing plenty of bright white cloud there across many northern parts it does break up this day we're expecting more as we head through the next couple of days so again plenty of showers here on wednesday and on thursday and some of the downpours a lot need to be very heavy mixed with the old rumble of thunder elsewhere as you'd expect it is getting pretty hot now kabul. 30 degrees will be our maximum for us in baghdad will be up at $42.00 those high temperatures that make their way all the way down the gulf towards us here in doha a dry heat for us then but certainly hot 43 or 44 is likely to be our maximum temperature as we head through the next couple of days maybe just scraping to 45 more cloud further south so big gray for some of us over oman and always the risk of the your shower if you do have that large amount of cloud at this time of year for the towards the south and there's plenty of sunshine for many of us in the southern parts of africa but all around the south coast there's more in the way of

clouds that could give us one or 2 showers around cape town but a warm day temperature of just 15 that system emmert its way eastwards i think it will be the eastern parts of south africa maybe just about into parts of mozambique where we see the wettest of the weather on thursday. the journey to work can be a challenge on it. but for some peruvian villages traversing one of the world's most dangerous roads is a risk that comes with the job. we follow the journey of the speed as they get there to survive. risking it. on al-jazeera. it's my privilege to name al-jazeera english the broadcaster of the year the cartels are fighting each other we've been told that we can't hear these

little largest demonstrations it's been a help to refugees to over 700. year. old. because. of that you'll. follow again the top stories on the al-jazeera news hour and if you appeared on voices to don's opposition alliance will suspend the civil disobedience campaign and strike from wednesday the military has reportedly agreed to release some

political deal toni's. the united nations says it's an outrage at the killing of at least $95.00 villagers a molly sunday's suspected revenge attack was in the mosque to a region where rival ethnic groups are competing for access to land and water russia has dropped drug charges against and freed investigative journalist i bought a good one of who was detained last week a government official says the allegations haven't been proven and is moving to sack 2 high ranking police involved in the case. amnesty international says it has new evidence of killings on the abuses in sudan's darfur region the rights groups satellite photos as well as testimonies confirm government forces and armed groups attacked 45 villages between last july and february this year sexual violence forced the placements and other abuses. also documented an amnesty is warning that the planned withdrawal of u.n. peacekeepers could further endanger lives let's. see director of human rights watch

joining us live from new york a via skype thanks very much for speaking to us and you say that the timing of this possible withdrawal of forces from darfur couldn't be worse what impact do you think it will actually have on civilians should it go ahead sir. for sure so the united nations mission which is also an african union mission you know made into our 4 has been downsizing already for a couple of years but this year it is set to have its final year and the security council is considering exactly how much to cut and the mission has been in the process of handing over assets as part of the downsizing and what human rights watch and amnesty have both warned is that it appears these assets have indeed gone into the hands of sudanese security forces the rapid support forces and so any

further handing over of un assets risks ending up also in the hands of the rapid support forces what we are saying is that the events happening in sudan now and the national dynamics inevitably have an impact on the situation in daraa for. the head of the rapid support force is number 2 now in the transitional military council so under these circumstances it is naive to believe that this will not impact for one and 2 it is totally inappropriate to be downsizing and actually handing assets over to authorities that could end up in the hands of the raf and support for a senate. or yeah and what's your biggest concern when it comes to civilians well certainly there are civilian still gathered in i.d.p. settlements across star 4 and some of these civilians are actually gathered near to

camp sites that the mission is supposed to vacate so if those campsites end up getting occupied by ruf that support forces but then would like to attack civilians for example or harass them or abuse them or commit various crimes as we've documented now consistently for many years. we see that this operation is actually facilitating or potentially furthering. the situation in darfur is not normal although the government of sudan has been for many years trying to represent it as totally solved and normal but in fact we're getting reports even from the mission staff itself reporting to the to the secretary general periodic leaks that sudanese government forces are still attacking villagers especially in the double mar area of daraa for and so there are ongoing human rights and protection concerns in that

region and we think they're getting worse and while i have you with us let me ask you about the situation in sudan because what do you make of the fact that senior commanders in charge of the transitional military council which includes those rapid support forces that you speak of are some of the same individuals who are accused of carrying out atrocities in daraa for. absolutely i mean this sounds absolutely the wrong message for a dark forest and for everyone who for all sudanese so the number 2 in the military council is the commander of the rapid support forces who have carried out serious crimes for many years in dar for but also southern court of. the nuba mountains and then blue nile and most recently the attacks on the protester sit in her tomb which led to over 100 people being killed and many other crimes and abuses against them those were carried out largely by rocket

support forces and other security officials so this tells you that the people in control right now in sudan are allowing they're allowing this violence to be unleashed on the civilians right there in the capital city so we'll leave it there is henry we thank you for speaking to us from new york. a boat carrying dozens of migrants has capsized in the mediterranean here's our barbara starr with more from our here pm broadcast center. understanding that at least 7 people have died including 2 children the boat had left the turkish coast for the greek island of les voss when it got into trouble greece's coast guard says $57.00 people were rescued meanwhile further south the libyan coast guard says it intercepted a boat carrying 60 people who are also trying to reach europe's shores. and it out in court has adjourned the trial of a suspended mayor who is accused of aiding illegal immigration is known for

transforming his shrinking community in the village of reaction by welcoming refugees his case will resume next week reports now from reaction where immigration has become a highly divisive issue he won praise for integrating migrants in the town he ran but to many is a man in exile he's no longer allowed back to his home town of. even though he made the remote southern italian village well known for its welcome to outsiders now he's facing trial for allegedly aiding illegal immigration you're for through the roof i've made a choice as mayor to support people who have no voice pushing for that every day because i believe in a human society this is a new mayor and before he made his inaugural speech on sunday promising a new dawn for the village with the help of the far right immigration league party

vehemently against the previous vote of integration they say it's time for change they threw their support behind the fully resawing your reaction needs to develop not just barely populating itself asylum seekers but also by early asserting its identity and standing strong on its own 2 feet. where once the streets were full of life there's scarcely anyone around now the government has cut funds which sustained projects here migrants who settled here are a lot to talk to anyone about the situation that's also the case for its aging population while look at those integration model was praised all over the world there were plenty who didn't agree with him and he was investigated for allegedly abetting illegal immigration amongst other charges he could even face time in prison from a global village to a rough probably deserted one they actually is new league policy back to may has promised a renewal of its fortunes but the problem here is as with so many other places in

italy's poorest south is that there is a dying population and there are few incentives to attract people to come here because project was routinely criticized by italy's league party leader and deputy prime minister matteo sol bini who's anti immigration policies have divided the country those who remain in riyadh share are fearing the worst beleaguered government wish to end what is you cannot create it here should not be destroyed he created an economic system which works here hand can work throughout the country these small towns here suffer from the population there are no young people here as they've all left the promises of the new mayor will be a challenge in this remote area if he actually is to come back from the brink it faces many here believe it will require a complete overhaul if it is to avoid the fate of dying out altogether so new

crops an m. and fess that houses that misstating more than 6000 acres of pastures locusts are off the scene on a city never a farmer say this is the worst outbreak since the end of world war 2 the invasion has been linked to a recent rise in temperatures after months of cooler weather on the ice. that's it for me and the team in london now let's go back to the remainder. clever thank you will the u.s. president donald trump says the biggest part of the deal with mexico is yet to be revealed big reman it was announced last week an aim is to reduce the number of refugees and migrants crossing the border into the u.s. trampin threaten mexico with tariffs unless a deal was reached. a lot of good things are happening but i want to thank mexico and we do have one of those things that will be announced at the appropriate time but they have to get approval from their legislative body what is it why are the mexicans denying it that i don't think they'll be denying it for

a little bit older. from el paso with the us mexico border. 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 he called this an immigration security agreement with mexico but refuses to release further details however speaking with reporters mexico's foreign minister marcello broad 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 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 trons instead is spinning this as a result of his hard line immigration measures that trend 5 percent tariff which would it take 10 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 affective 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 $130.00. 1000 people were apprehended by border patrol the worst time when seekers in central america cross the border illegally trying to seek a better life in the united states that would let 13 year high here in el paso in
