dictating that kind of negotiation are engaged under risk to take place between north korea and the u.s. and i always thought that this would be an incremental process that there would have to be multiple meetings and then at the next step actually we're not be the lifting of the sanctions or saved by maybe relief from some of the sanctions exemptions for other and this would maybe include resuming some of the economic engagement projects that were in place between the 2 koreas before all the sanctions came into action simcoe always a pleasure talking to you thank you for joining us thank you. here's what else is coming up. our. people in syria are a frustrated with kurdish forces controlling the area. japan set to resume commercial whaling but its people may have lost their taste for. sport pakistan and afghanistan produce

a thriller of the cricket world cup action coming up with. right now that we're looking at sudan and there is a strong military presence on the streets of khartoum and other cities ahead of mass rallies planned for sunday protest leaders are organizing what they hope will be a 1000000 strong march demanding a civilian led government the military has warned that no damage or destruction will be tolerated during the protests remember more than $100.00 people were killed on june 3rd when security forces opened fire to disperse the demonstrators more from him or can i show up defiance and determination in this neighborhood and to dance capital hutton protesters are calling on people to mobilize for a major protest by the opposition coalition a 1000000 to march on sunday. a rally here is part of the demonstration it is

a calling for the demonstration on the 30th of june we're not letting go of any of the revolutions demands hopefully the government would be a 1000000001 for every last citizen. to be the 1st major protests after the military forcefully broke up a month long pro-democracy protests in the capital at the beginning of the month the doctors committee says more than $120.00 people were killed the government states a much lower figure of 6. 100 protest is meant to coincide with the end. the african union deadline for the ruling military junta to hand over power as well as the 50th anniversary of the 989 by former president dominance issues was he felt almost alone in a military coup to improve on saturday the sudanese professional association which has been leading the calls for protests since december the military raided their offices and prevented them from holding a press conference as an internet black house continues to put

a 3rd we. internet services are being blocked any song of communication between not be a i'm of the public to see. the stock this is not a show of goodwill in any manner it's obvious that 9 they're worried about tomorrow's watch. 9 0 but we are confident that a large march is going to be a big march d. i'm very confident you see these people the problem is that they're trying to look i'm going to talk to the world and that prevents any form of communication. talks between the military gentile and the opposition coalition known as the forces of freedom and change are yet to resume and if you can mediation proposal backed by the e.u. has been agreed to by the opposition coalition the military said they also accept it but with reserve and that any violence that occurs during protests will not be tolerated. and i wish to have as soon as possible

a government that is accepted by all sudanese people i want to say to those who called for more massive demonstration that we are not against the people and we are not against peace but we have to understand that infiltrators and tours are there and they're willing to apply their hidden agendas so we don't need troubles and only. protest to state a statement or a threat to scare them and a warning of violence to come but they say that's won't stop them from holding a 1000000 people march and that no force with proper from seeing their demand of a civilian government become a reality he will morgan al-jazeera. as so often we discuss sudan issues with founder and president of the sudan policy forum nice to see you with us again look what are your expectations for today it seems the passions are still strong i want a 1000000 people out there and the military government is saying no violence no damage will be tolerated whatsoever. it's going to be more than 2 and a half 1000000 so 1000000 is just and that is the mission i think on part of the so

then his professional association. game is paired no effort in the last few months to polarize the society center versus periphery left versus right that's to say seculars again islamicists it just didn't where the moral consciousness of the people has reached a level where people think that yes there are some structural and institutional challenges but those can only be fierce in a constructive manner in a democratic civilian regime. the t.m.c. has been dragging its feet in an attempt to the did. it's showing no signs whatsoever that it wants to go through any transition that state and this is just this is just helping the people rally it's helping them got van nuys support from different groups in the country and i think it's going to be

a very very successful march well successful is an interesting description for it because yes if you get $2000000.00 people out that then that would be can said successful for the for the opposition of the people but just the threat of there being problems i think when you've got that many people out there with that strong emotions anything could happen and we've seen in the past how the how the military reacts to that not unless and until very deem brings in some infiltrate the. saboteurs i think we're into the protests now into the protest movement but the game has been. very mean it's adopted coming we could techniques remember in the last few weeks we we've seen some cars with some artillery and we're away pons and it was just left there for the protesters to pick it up but the people are very adamant about the fact that it's going it should be

a very peaceful protest because they are not going to give the t.m.c. the transitional military. council the only weapon that it can use against them. are there any actual negotiations still going on we focus a lot on the protest movement what everyone says but ultimately this has to be some sort of negotiated process i think that people are now very. very concerned because the regime if you have regional and international powers insisted on. getting into. net connectivity the t.m.c. itself promised to bring the perpetrators of the massacre in 72 hours and now it has been like a whole month and they didn't do anything about it so there is this lack of seriousness doesn't allow for any healthy more or it doesn't pave the

way for for a constructive mortie in which people can stop negotiations so i think the debate then falls on the shoulders of the transition the military council as of now i think this if unions don't have much to do. they're not giving them any teams he is not giving them any science of. that it's willing to reach some level of consensus no way i think one other thing i just wonder about briefly and maybe this you can tell us from from contacts you have there how is life going on in sudan it's very difficult it's very difficult if you can imagine is city. that is totally stagnant i mean economically speaking. i have an office there i have some friends and some consultants and some laborers they're telling me that it's totally stagnant people are barely having any business and it's going to be

coming even more dire now that the agricultural. i mean season is coming and the government has in taking any any steps to prepare the farmers and the prisons in order to provide them in any liquidity or any spare parts for the coming season so the dire situation is going to show that in the coming few months if the people don't get to grow their crops and cultivate them just to ok well we will talk to you again later in the day as we see how the protests goes well when you are thank you israeli forces have arrested the palestinian minister for jerusalem affairs had to me was detained at his home in occupied east jerusalem police haven't actually explained why he's being questioned but his lawyer says it's in relation to a visit by the chilean president at least 10 others were arrested in different parts of palestine. excuse me the afghan taliban says it's killed 8 election

up. and visitors from the my land all came to get a rare glimpse of life in the barracks at the people's liberation army garrison. i'm very excited to be involved in the show it's big and i wish hong kong will be better in the future. i'm so happy to see it and i love it every year the hong kong opens its doors to the public to mark the anniversary of the former british territories handover to china the destroyers warships and weaponry on display troops perform combat drills to show off their military might. or hold some of their i'm so very excited and so proud of china. i am proud and i feel so safe to have the army here. there are 12 garrisons in hong kong but they abide by local laws they respect the city's autonomy but there are increasing signs of the p.l.o. is boosting its presence before me naval drills in victoria harbor this was once

public land overlooking victoria harbor but this week the government transferred control to china so this could be converted into a pill a dog and the navy ships can berth in central hong kong critics speculate this is a deliberate ploy by china to make its presence felt in hong kong and a reminder that beijing holds the ultimate authority over this former british territory in a city that lacks trust in the mind it's added to the growing unease about china's tightening grip on july 1st thousands are expected to protest over a controversial plan by the government to extradite. fugitives to china to stand child sarah clarke al-jazeera hong kong. is closing its doors to venezuelans escaping the economic and political chaos many have already been given shelter the chilean government's changed its rules to stop venezuelans arriving as tourists as a latin america adults in you've been reports now from the desert border between china and peru some venezuelans and are resorting to walking through minefields to

find sanctuary. they're cold hungry and desperate to get to chile where many have friends or family but after traveling south for more than a week these venezuelans are stranded on the peruvian side of the border because chile won't let them in without a passport and residency visa. might be an assault or and her 2 small boys are now sleeping on the street and able to wash and like almost everyone here relying on charity for warm clothes and food or they're saying. it's impossible to get a passport to venice well i've been trying for 2 years until last week we could enter chile with our national id card to store. but no longer see chilean authorities. they can't continue to pretend that tourists the worst thing for migrants is to move to another country without being able to get a work permit or access to social services. and this is the at the camera desert

where the sun is merciless by day and the nights brutally cold. and the venezuelans are being sent to the chilean consulate in the nearby peruvian town of fact not to apply for a visa families with small children are being given priority but most don't have the required documents and the process is painfully slow even chaotic. catalina and a saudi arrived more than a week ago from the once prosperous venezuelan city of monaco where now power fuel and food. shortages are acute. the physical man with physically and psychologically worn out with no more money and they're living out 10 but at least we have hope back home have no hope anymore that they'll be any change. but others have grown impatient it's easy to miss this tiny sign warning that be on this point is a minefield mines on the chilean side of the border that have been left over from

20 in osaka this is a frontal system the waves in 4 weeks we usually refer to as the by you rain sometimes it's so you means the plum rains are partly coinciding with frightening plans i just thought it was too early but i'm obviously wrong in the 1st big and you come to you'd expect something like 770 millimeters over the next over the yeah from the 1st of june to the middle of july and this is the sort of scene you get this was. not surprisingly they get it every year therefore it's expected this prompted a level 4 warning because she's near the top of the warning scale in japan because of the rate of fall not the amount the rate it produces flash flooding and of course it's a little bit inconvenient but national fact nearby when he got a $161.00 minimally says this is a city just north of and you know soccer itself $27.00 millimeters that's the total cash it's the rate of fall there that was probably notable now because it sees no rain we've not seen the end of it as you can see this is the next 24 hours it rains

as far north as tokyo if you're in the us for this if you pans out of honshu it's dry and that rain tends to fade out a little bit over the next 24 to 48 hours but it will come back. to where the. precious pieces of literature rescued from being burnt to ashes to see sorry. it's the same women and men who risked everything to save their roots and heritage . the love of books on al-jazeera. the united states i learned that the 1st amendment is really key to being. freedom i'm. going to be. men and women to believe forces that are available let me

tell just your story is that we just don't tell you what the subject of the story wants to know the government is not going to do the one thing the demonstrators want apologize for that's what al-jazeera does we ask the questions so that we can get closer to the truth. here at al-jazeera these are all top stories donald trump has become the 1st sitting u.s. president to set foot inside north korea it happened at the demilitarized zone which separates north and south korea during their meeting the leaders agreed to restart the stalled talks on the denuclearization of the korean peninsula troubles

said he would invite kim jong un to the white house in the future. and in sudan security forces have increased their presence ahead of planned mass demonstrations across the country protest leaders have called for a 1000000 strong march to the generals hand over power to civilians. right we are going back to our top story now and that is of course the trump meeting in the demilitarized zone and russ feingold is with us now in asia political risk analyst scott from taipei nice to see you again russ what was your take from today i keep asking i guess that our correspondents was this just a really good photo opportunity or is it a stop a chance to kick start things again. that's a great question because that's going to be the challenge for president shrub as he tries to make a positive narrative out of today's events and we know he's certainly going to try to do that and he had emphasized even in his public remarks prior to actually

meeting chairman kim that he deals with what he perceives to be a lot of fake news that doesn't give you fair credit for the progress to date and he points out how much tension there was in 2017 and that the nuclear tests and the long range missile tests have ceased there was some cooperation on repeat ration of u.s. soldiers remains even though we know that that's now slowed down as well but president trump will continue to battle and use his twitter feed and his public remarks to say that his policies and his style his approach to this willingness to do something that other presidents have not been willing to do has really worked and of course they're going to be the critics and keep in mind we're going into the presidential election season so there's going to be over 20 democrats running for president who are going to look to criticize everything president drum does and say actually this was just a photo op the thing is he makes it happen that doesn't mean i'm just looking at these pictures these are historic pictures they will go down in history we'll be

talking about them for a long time and like them a lot of them he makes these things happen. well we have to remember his background that he does have a lot of experience not just in television but those of us from the united states including someone like myself who grew up in new york city when donald trump was in the news all the time as a property developer and as a person in the new york city community and he he understands this very well i guess as you said like him or dislike him but he certainly understands how to put a message into the public spaces and yes the battle so spin it the way he wants but to be fair to him he does have those takeaways that are factually correct and that has to do with the reduction in tensions we know that the north is still continuing to develop its nuclear weapons we know how difficult it is to get them to actually get here to anything they agree to and we don't even have an agreement yet but the reduction intensions is

a fact and again that's something that donald trump could legitimately say has occurred as a result of his approach he tends to do things in reverse in that he goes for the big meeting before hands well 1st stop with the leader and then tries to hash out details afterwards that means that really what goes on as a lower level with the policy advisers in the secretary of states and then that light that's probably the most important thing if there is to be some sort of deal some sort of movement right. they that's also a very good point and going into the june $2800.00 summit in singapore that was the common criticism that it was kind of driven by an exchange of letters and some special envoys and the involvement of south korea and it came together very quickly it wasn't from the bottom up it was very much from the top down but that's donald trump's leadership style whether in industry or as president it would be foolish to expect him to change that once he became president and now that he's over 2 and a half years into his time as president he's certainly not going to change his

approach to dealing with domestic or foreign policy issues even an issue as complex and frankly is dangerous as the korean nuclear and long range missile north korean nuclear long range missile program so he's going to continue to use this approach and we saw an example of that even towards the end of you whatever remarks he made privately to keep coming out of the meeting president trump is saying yeah i might invite him to the white house not saying it's going to happen on a specific date yet but he is driving that agenda and he's saying look i'll even invite the guy to the white house not withstanding whether or not we have a deal in place russ feingold always good talking to you thank you. of the coalition and yemen says there were no casualties off to 2 drone attacks on saudi arabia the 1st time at the province of jesus and the 2nd was aimed at a residential area in a sea of province both were reported the intercepted drone attacks have increased

over the past couple of months talking at ports and oil pipelines. local elections are underway in albania despite a presidential pleader have been postponed and an opposition boycott the opposition accuses the ruling socialist government of corruption wants a general election instead the leader of the opposition democratic party is describing the vote for municipal leaders as a farce and says the one sided result could spark a civil unrest be sure that this will be ok you know with i don't wish them to become. too to ridicule themselves feel that point but we will do it will be their problem you know they have to finger both of the recovery they have not think about how deep or they can get in the hole we opened for the country and now they're all we've. all been us are shocked by the non reaction of

international community to mr ramos now proved connections to organized crime through which he gained power in 2017 this is a very dangerous situation and it could potentially lead to civil unrest social unrest come monday if there is not a clear condemnation of the farce that has already happened. and i was speaking to john correspondent who's in the albanian capital tirana i mean the way we sort of set it up there john it sounded like an election that no one really wants that is going to produce a very one sided result. well it appears that way today because i don't think the outcome of this election is in doubt we are here at the scene shantel school in downtown toronto where the head of the organization for security and cooperation in europe mission did a photo opportunity earlier this morning to showcase how the o.s.c. is here to monitor these elections and make sure they are legitimately carried out

but the legitimacy of the election process as a whole is in question for much of the country the opposition supporters who don't believe that this is a real election because their parties are not fielding candidates as you pointed out the opposition has staged some protest outside voting centers we for example found this banner among others outside of this school saying that this election is a harkening back to the days of communism when there was one party rule and only one legitimate candidate to vote for. these banners were abandoned outside the school the protests last only for a brief period of time the protesters left in order not to be arrested this has been a process that has been repeated in the last couple of weeks in various municipalities . opposition supporters have been tearing up candidate lists pasted on walls by the socialist party or they have been arrested trying to break into schools where ballot papers have been stored in an attempt to burn them the most staunch

resistance is likely to come from the municipality of drought in the north west of the country near the montenegrin border that constitutes constituency has never belonged to the socialist party it is a staunch ally democratic party stronghold it's mayor whom we spoke to said. days ago a very brave lady who has said that she will never give up her seat as mayor to an election she doesn't recognize as legitimate because the president of the country has cancelled it says that she will only leave city hall. dead as a corpse as it is going to be very difficult for the day after this election for the government to handle mayors like her who simply refused to yield their seats are they going to prosecutors to rest and i think going to make use of force in order to implement the result of this election that is what remains to be seen ok

we'll be talking to john psaropoulos again throughout the day as those elections carry on in albania. of a lack of jobs and government services in a province in eastern syria is causing increasing discontent there as all that is controlled by an alliance of mainly kurdish fighters backed by the u.s. but as the reports now there is fear and ethnic divide could worsen shops closed as part of a widespread general strike in the syrian province of there is a sewer frustration is growing among the mainly arab population towards the u.s. allied to kurdish back to syrian democratic forces opposition activists film in secret because the media is tightly controlled there have been weeks of protests against as the f. leaders syrians and there is accuse them of stealing the province's oil wealth as well as oppressive measures such as arresting many over suspected links to eisele. the people are demanding better living conditions and a decision making role in

a region they say traditionally belongs to arabs we've seen how the instability and both political repression and economic. and enormous problems have created a situation of daters or where radical groups of qom in the past for decades there is or was marginalized by the syrian government leading many to join the rebellion against president bashar assad in 2011 government forces were forced out from there is sewer i so eventually filled the vacuum until separate offensives defeated the armed group but that battle left the province divided the euphrates river separates territory held by the syrian government and iranian backed militias from areas under as the control neither seems to have widespread support of the people.

and they think. also your. or your. or. i sold remains a threat in the province continuing to target government and as the f. positions there is also competition for territory the syrian government wants the oil fields that are in s. the f. controlled areas there is or is a geo politically important province the s t f benefits from its oil reserves which the government wants to support its domestic needs the province also borders iraq which allows iran to complete its land corridor or from to her on to beirut the s.d.f. is accusing the syrian government of trying to create unrest the people of there is who are deny that they say they don't want to live under president bashar assad and want an end to s t f rule the risk of further unrest to seen as

a growing possibility in what has long been known as the forgotten corner of syria . beirut. pesticides and intensive farming often harm the environment a farm in southern england is taking a different approach what's called wilding leaves livestock to run free aren't lee has our report from sussex in england. just an hour south of london you find yourself in the wilderness not long ago this was a traditional farm but the owners decided to shut their eyes and see what would happen if they allowed nature to take us all back through astounded even them the race at which it all grew back now it not only absorbs huge amounts of carbon dioxide but is teeming with wildlife species have come back here like the stork in that tree off in the distance that haven't been seen in the u.k. the hundreds of years before that it had been really you know we says far as the eye could see it was it was the typical monoculture of british army and we used to

travel the world to look at wildlife and we never once thought that we could get it back on our doorstep and this was where i mean really as much as anywhere when i can expect large swaths of being groomed to turn into landscapes but i think this could be used within a mix of other other. other solutions for giving space to nature but is it farming no crops but animals roaming free income for meat sales topped up by camping in large enthusiastic european subsidies it is absolutely impossible to imagine that this used to be a wheat field only 15 years ago but it just shows you what happens when you let nature take its course and it does speak very much to the entire philosophy of this place which is that farming obviously has very much been part of the problem as far climate change is concerned but it can be part of the solution as well he said.
