badly. it's going to be a very very bad day for. the u.s. president announces new sanctions on iran and warns military action against iran is still a lot for. the u.s. on vale's the economic part of its middle east peace plan and the deal of the century senior palestinian officials reject the proposal. many of you came to my mom were no. survivors of ethnic violence in the democratic republic of congo recounting their ordeal was that forced to flee fighting in the northeast. if you know his chief of defense forces being shot and injured in the capital the prime minister made the announcement in a t.v. address wearing army fatigues a security advisory has been issued for u.s.

diplomatic staff in this. shooting happened while there was a failed attempt to alst a regional government leader in the heart of state it's one of the 9 autonomy's regions of the country people reported hearing gunfire in the regional capital behind on saturday evening it's unclear who was behind the reported coup attempt. you have a square bomber is a lecturer georgia agreement to college who specializes in ethiopian politics he says the failed coup doesn't reflect the country's feelings towards the prime minister to this day i think the majesty of the field can have holes in his leadership and i think in all honesty premise that of the allies and his team they have been really working hard so i believe some of the split the cultural and but of course there are some shortcomings here who are immense or it currently is

number one in the world it's. high. east internally displaced people it's in the coalition in ethiopia writing help is not really great despite the fact that the premises has been putting together in such incidences today. and also the unfortunate again is the army's leaders in these shows that the situation is fluid the political change in ethiopia despite its from its is is a filthy thing some critics are talented and out i think all ethiopians should come together show up and some will a last question and of course in the government because if they the largest country in that region or one also has enough to go and then for those insights our neighbors to dance in politics and ways turmoil and know that not everything around

us is really great so it was the last thing that we would. see is. related or balance. oh the u.s. president appears to be toning down talk of possible military action against iran but he's promising to step up economic pressure on tacked on with more sanctions foreign leaders trying to defuse the latest faceoff it was triggered by a u.s. drone being shot down on thursday in the strait of hormuz the top diplomat and german chancellor angela merkel all pushing for a political solution britain's middle east minister will visit to iran on sunday in an attempt to deescalate the situation but things remain tents u.s. media are reporting the pentagon launched a cyber attack on iran shutting down computers used to control missile systems this comes after attempts by iran to hike into u.s.

government infrastructure runs government says it will respond firmly to any u.s. aggression or threats john hendren has more from washington d.c. president donald trump appears to have changed his tone somewhat on iran the president says he can imagine the u.s. and iran being best of friends even went on to say he'd like to make iran great again and even thanked the persian nation for not shooting down a man's plane that was nearby with about 35 crew members according to iranian officials when it shot down an unmanned u.s. drone but the president also said he will go ahead with new sanctions against iran starting on monday and according to news reports the president approved last week a cyber strike against iran that disabled computer systems that run the country's missile and rocket systems so the president appears to be operating on a number of different levels and meanwhile on saturday mike pompei of the president's secretary of state issued

a statement was somewhat more bellicose rhetoric saying that iran shot down that drone over international waters not as iran says over iranian territory and pompei went on to say when the iranian regime decide. to forgo violence and meet our diplomacy with diplomacy it knows how it can reach us until then our diplomatic isolation and economic pressure campaign against the regime will intensify and that is where those sanctions the president is promising comes into play however president trump was elected on a promise to pull the u.s. out of military conflicts in iraq and afghanistan and many analysts believe that he is relieved not to be currently embroiled in yet another military conflict that could further divide his already narrow base with the 2020 alexion season already underway lawrence kolbe is a former u.s. assistant secretary of defense he says president from needs to focus on nuclear

arms control which he says is the biggest threat in the region he's not i mean if you look at those 12 demands that pompei all major talking about a complete transformation of iran what he needs to recognize is the nuclear deal is separate from everything else we negotiated with the russians they went into afghanistan they put down the rebellion and then czechoslovakia but we kept going with arms control busy because that was so important the most dangerous thing in the region is a nuclear arms race between iran and saudi arabia and we know the saudis good move very quickly if they wanted to that would be completely devastating that's your main challenge and you need to deal with that 1st and then you can deal with some of these other problems later but right now trump is not only alone with a lot of his advisors but with even most of our allies. now the leading protest group in sudan says it has accepted a plan for

a transitional government put forward by ethiopia's leader he's been helping mediate the political crisis the plan proposes the immediate formation of a government for the next 3 years suggest the formation of a 15 member council with 7 civilian representatives 73 members and one impartial person approved by both sides if hear of him plan also demands sudanese people have access to the internet so than shut it down earlier this month to quash the protest movement. normal jaime's a well arms we received a draft of an agreement presented by the ethiopian mediator mahmoud arrear on thursday the initiator of freedom and change reviewed this draft proposal by the mediator which included all the structures of the transitional period he also demanded the creation of an appropriate and peaceful atmosphere to renew the political process. hundreds of people in khartoum are holding night demonstrations

to protest power and internet outages people gathered near car headlights and power generators to make their point so dan's ruling generals cut internet services after security forces violently disperse the sit in protest outside army headquarters thousands of demonstrations have been camped out since april when former president bashir was removed from office morag burial is a sudanese human rights activist a member of the sudan doctors union she says while many people will be wary of the deal results so the desire for progress. people of course will be very skeptical about the. deal of course the trust from people toward the transatlantic council has been shaken after the attack as you mentioned but of course they remain some optimism remain that we would like to move forward because

the situation now is a standstill and i don't think anyone would like to see the current situation continue. we would like to see a transition i think the the to see the role i think the international. community exerted pressure on the transitional council but lot importantly the sudanese people through continuing continuation of the peace peaceful demonstration as well as civil disobedience they force the transitional council to come back and sit in to the table. the trade war between the u.s. and china is dominating the latest summit of southeast asian countries known as asia and in thailand leaders of the term nations that make up the block are attending the meeting territorial disputes in the south china sea the crisis ocean waves are also being discussed. has more from bangkok. a wide range of

issues will be discussed in the summit here at the on in bangkok now one thing that is kind of a plank within the r.c. on rules if you will that there's non interference in other words a lot of issues can be discussed but they really want to attack or criticize the other nations leadership now that would be interesting because there are a lot of issues that need to be discussed that are sensitive particular when it comes to the range and myanmar's handling of that situation we know that malaysia and indonesia are very pointed in their criticism outside of our c.n.n. it'll be interesting to see what they say inside of r.c. on so they'll be a summit and then a communique at the end of the day there are other issues like betrayed tensions between the united states and china how that is impacting these 10 nations and they are also in discussions for their own trade pact here with these 10 nations and positioning themselves between india as well as the united states and every other nation around the pacific rim so that will be discussed but again when it comes to tangible movement forward will probably be

a roadmap in this communique but nothing we can expect big announcements we can expect at the end of the day who the rebels say they've launched an attack in northwest yemen targeting fighters with the saudi led coalition they say several sudanese soldiers were killed and injured in the assault on camps and needy who through say they also fired rockets across the border into saudi arabia targeting a military position in the city of la john 5 civilians from the same family have died in an air strike by government forces in northern syria children were among those killed in the attack and it led 3 people died in an earlier strike on another part of the province hundreds of civilians have been killed since russian backed syrian forces stepped up the baldwins of the country's last rebel held on place in april so that on al jazeera. it really makes me sick because we are in a position to know where they. will tell you.
