a weakened position compared to a few weeks ago so what things would you will you be looking for over the next few days well i would say what happened from might understand my understanding because there is no press release by the sudanese professional association or the transitional council about what agreement. that's far but my understanding is. these talks through the media to ease to allow the. mediator to can immigration to continue. i don't know said. agree that the protesters are in a weaker position i think we are as a sudanese people rather more stronger position in time so forcing. demands towards a transition to a see the rule so this is them our 1st demand and of course all the demands follows in terms of freezing all busy prison is as well as we we warn the brutal

12:14 am
and that the criminal case was dropped i hope the investigation will continue and i hope no one will find himself in the same situation as well his release is significant because it chose to many here in russia that he can actually influence government decisions for a long time to has been this feeling of apathy how this will play out we'll still have to see but for now it's unprecedented because also some high ranking police officers will possibly be removed from their positions and journalists and others have said they won't rest until those who framed. will be brought to justice. service and reporting there will victor all of it is a political analyst at the center for actual politics and he joins us now from moscow so welcome to our jazeera 1st of all your reaction to the release of golan of what do you think happened. well this is a definite victory for russia's civil society and for russia's society as

12:16 am
the case was solved in the very quick men there now it's very important that this doesn't end here of course there were 2 generals of the head of the drug enforcement for much of moscow and the head of a border police. go north was arrested they were all already dismissed but it's important that the state duma the russian parliament is seeking to take up legislation that would make it much harder for for abuses of power by police of this kind to kepen in the future and this this staple for abuse of power doesn't just involve jordan was it doesn't just involve people who are framed or possibly framed for political motives a sometimes it is done during. improve our. statistics which is quite outrageous as well i
12:17 am
suppose as things stand we don't exactly know the details of what went on behind it what we do know is that independent journalists like mr golden of often face extreme pressure from the state in russia often threats against their lives russia is 140 ninth's in the press freedom rankings from reporters without borders and that really what we saw was the outrage from mr golden lives colleagues and as you say beyond that do you think that that how upset or how worried do you think that made russian authorities this rise of anger towards what could be seen as the team threat against the journalists well 1st of all i would say that unfortunately there is an uptick in up to in violence and pressure in the repression against journalists in different countries in the neighboring ukraine for example there's the case of. who was detention has been criticized by
12:18 am
i appreciate there are the countries that i mean but if we can just focus on russia here plus course. so so as far as what the russian authorities do you did and how they responded they responded in a very quick manner and the. attorney general's office of the leadership of the ministry of internal affairs which controls the use in russia and in fact the human rights man that ya muskoka over and the president but the president himself have been involved in making sure that not only this case is resolved in the proper just and fair manner but also that those who have there for 3 to 3 fabrication will be. will be punished in the proper manner because this cannot go without
12:19 am
a proper response and and we are seeing that property sponsored the government today while the justice is done is certainly what a lot of the protesters and many people beyond are hoping for for the moment victor live from the center for actual politics joining us from moscow sir thank you ukrainian president volodymyr zillion ski has ordered an investigation into the cause of a fire at a psychiatric clinic 6 people were killed in the blaze which started late on monday in the southern portable desa patients who were evacuated from the burning building as firefighters battled the flames police have launched a criminal investigation. rescue crews in hungary have recovered the wreck of a tourist boat that capsized in budapest 2 weeks ago killing 28 people 4 more bodies were found by divers as work began to ease the boat out of the water on tuesday the boat sank in seconds on the 29th of may after a cruise ship rammed it from behind during heavy rain 26 south korean tourists and

a new extradition law they say the territory has become a haven from justice for hundreds of criminals who can't be prosecuted because of a 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 conviction rate in 2017 just a woman who just is one of a handful of activists still prepared to talk to the foreign media he says the hong kong protesters all right to resist the plan's new extradition will sending certain 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

12:29 am
quite hot here winds are coming out of the south so for tripoli we do expect to see a temperature there of $36.00 coming down to about $32.00 as we go towards thursday and over here towards cairo plenty of sunny day forecast with a temperature of 34 degrees. on vehicles harvesting every pick you take every click you make collecting everything to hold a wave so. the best time to watch the what. we blame it on the deep sleep is the 1st civilian stress can be our creators. are. often. the engineer was just here. al-jazeera says that what a story breaks the schools today to see what happens next which i'm sure. fired by
12:30 am
the pyramidal barricade at the world 73 that we need to hear the middle east now is all about change people have gone to hear the area listen up national army is just 16 times. it's complex and i just your stories about telling it from the people's perspective what they think is happening in their culture. a comeback here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera sudan's opposition protest leaders have suspended their campaign of civil disobedience and the military says it will release political prisoners both sides have also agreed to resume talks mollies
12:31 am
prime minister has visited the doggone village where gunmen killed at least 95 people on monday the attack is believed to have been carried out by fulani. and the charges against russian investigative journalist even golan old have been dropped after a public outcry he was known for his work exposing corruption among law schools political elite and had been accused of drug. it's going to yemen now and it's 6 months since the stockholm ceasefire agreement was signed but the norwegian refugee council says violence between who the rebels and the saudi and iraqi coalition that backs the government continues to escalate its report found that more than 250000 yemenis have been displaced in that time within 26000 of those people came from the port city of data which is a major entry point for aid delivery and the main focus of the cease fire deal 1750 civilian casualties have been reported across yemen since the agreement was signed
12:32 am
in the center well so can a big only as advocacy manager for the norwegian refugee council in yemen's capital sanaa she says the fighting is widespread kind of these districts are individual stories of suffering so much. one of the stories that we heard was magid did it's from her date he lost 4 of his daughters and the next attack on his house now magid described his daughters to us as his like his roses and he doesn't understand why they were taken away from him or what they did to deserve that fate so really what we're saying is we were really condemning the ongoing violence that's going on in yemen and it's the violence is growing it in a day that in. many parts of the country the conflict is aging and escalation in air strikes by russian backed syrian government forces on a string of rebel held areas and syria's north west has hampered food distribution
12:33 am
efforts the world food program was forced to temporarily interrupted the distribution in southern italy but due to the intense fighting it says it's been unable to reach some $7000.00 people in the area of collapse since the violence of up at last month. the u.s. is imposing sanctions on a serious businessman and his family after washington accused them of profiting from the civil war some head falls and his 2 brothers ahmed and hussein have close ties to president bashar al assad they're being cut off from the u.s. financial system for allegedly assisting assad and his government they're said to have made millions by developing luxury properties on land the seized from those who have fled the war. u.s. president on trump says he thinks something positive will happen with north korea after receiving what he called a beautiful letter from kim jong un. no nuclear testing no major missile test nothing like when i 1st got here when i 1st got here it was a mess we have
12:34 am
a very good relationship together now i can get from it because of the letter i got yesterday and i think you know i think that something will happen that's going to be very positive but in the meantime we have our highest his back the remains keep coming back we we have a relation but a little bit of trouble also says he's looking into the possibility of granting asylum to venezuelans fleeing political turmoil in their country a white house correspondent kimberly how could his hmong that. u.s. president donald trump on wednesday indicating that he may consider offering temporary protected status or even asylum to those in venice will of wishing to flee political persecution this suggestion has a lot to do with editorials that ran in newspapers here in the united states in the last week or so essentially calling the president i have a crib for talking tough on venezuela criticizing the leader in venezuela nicolas
12:35 am
maduro of calling him a brutal dictator but then doing nothing to support the people in terms of offering them the opportunity to leave the troubled nation so as a result it may be that donald trump is responding to those allegations of hypocrisy we know already that 3400000 beddes whalen's have left but they've been absorbed mostly by countries with far lesser means than the united states colombia peru ecuador chill a argentina we do know earlier this month there are rather earlier this year in the house of representatives democrats put forward a bill to try and offer some sort of asylum to 72000 venezuelans a similar measure introduced in the senate but getting very lukewarm support from republicans so it appears that now the president may have a couple of things on his mind not only those editorials that may be sort of pushing the president to soften his immigration stance but also the fact that many
12:36 am
venezuelans that do flee do live in the u.s. state of florida one that will be very pivotal for the president in the 2020 presidential election and it may be another reason knowing he will need those votes that the president is now reconsidering his tough immigration stance. it's going to brazil now where there are allegations that the justice minister worked with prosecutors when he was a judge to keep the former president and reason as you live the silva out of last year's presidential election the former president commonly known as was jailed in april last year as part of a wide ranging corruption probe called operation carwash that prevented from running again for president in last october's election opinion poll suggested that he was likely to win an online news magazine the intercept has published private messages between the now justice minister said tomorrow and the head of brazil's
12:37 am
anti corruption task force model appears to give advice and information to the team which is against the law both moral and the prosecutors the nih the allegations they say they're exchanges are being misinterpreted well kaggle they are i guess is that the rector of the institutional strategy and intelligence that argo advice of public affairs firm he joins us now live from washington sir thank you so much for joining us here on out. both more on the prosecutors the nie the allegations they say the exchanges that were taken. by the intercept have been misinterpreted do you think they've been misinterpreted. well 1st of all i think it's very negative the type of conversations they were having. and the mentions they were making to the entire operation in 2 in the individuals involved however on the other hand it's i think it's a bit far fetched to believe that their actions were directed to prevent former
12:38 am
president lula of running or actually going to jail since the decision that placed and maintains former president lula in jail was later ratified by 3 different courts on higher stances and 9 different judges so more towards the judge when issued the probe but he was not even close of being the one that finalized the decision that maintained president or former president lula in jail. i suppose the optics don't look great though especially considering that tomorrow is now the justice minister that the polls that say that. would all you know looked like he might have been a contender for the presidency again what do you think the implications of just this story coming out never mind what eventually result will be what do the implications are for the current government and of course the justice minister. well i think that the biggest loser in this situation is the justice minister
12:39 am
because the sanctified image that he was able to to create around himself after the carwash operation began to actually grow will be affected his credibility also will be affected but i don't see how this will affect the entire operation. or the entire car wash operation perhaps more will have to give some better explanation about the essence of the conversations that he maintained with the prosecutor however i understand then and based on what i read how do we something that we can. really criticize because that's not the type of conversation that a judge should have with a prosecutor i don't see there a change in the direction of how events came to be because the institutional system and judiciary system in brazil were much bigger than the involvement of these 2 individuals together they had a gal directive institutional strategy and intelligence that are go advice public
12:40 am
affairs firms thank you. now one of the u.k.'s largest charities has been heavily criticized for failing to disclose allegations of child abuse by its workers a battering 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 is an organization which is about relieving poverty in. front of people anywhere in the in the world
12:41 am
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 have come to harm. what's one as high court has ruled in favor of decriminalizing homosexuality. there were scenes of jubilation inside the courthouse in the capital doubler on the judge unanimously ruled that a $965.00 law which made homosexuality punishable with up to 7 years in prison was discriminatory the ruling comes just a month after kenya's high court upheld its laws criminalizing homosexuality well example my lai is advocacy director for the pan african international lesbian gay
12:42 am
bisexual trans intersex association she says the judgment could have widespread ramifications throughout africa. the judgment is very significant because it sets a precedent for the rest of the countries in africa especially those who form part of the commonwealth countries in africa and we are at a point now where we are repossessing the narrative and doing away with colonial laws which view homosexuality and queerness as pervasive or rather subversive in nature so it is a very important judgment it's also. the introduction of a turn of a new tide in africa where we are now having to be forced to actually see that these colonial laws do not belong to africa and rather reclaiming our queer stories in africa the language of spoken by fewer than 10000 people
