an internet blackout and as as well as panama. may 30th just a few days before that that happened at the september but protesters are saying that they're very determined already one person has been killed due to fire and. the activists are saying that one person was killed and up at arms and as a result of a gunshot wound to his chest and they're saying that there could be snipers for targets people just as they say do very determined and that they're going to try to make it to presidential palace to demand not just a civilian government but also accountability for those who were to launch a 3rd head is this a nationwide phenomenon i mean we focus so much on how term and what's happened with the big protests there how much is that spread through the country. well look we're just all died earlier times he died in the last state of a specific age there are also just reports and is a cut off of that sort of. force let's not forget that what's happened nationwide

not just and the response in. a lot of. years and i'm going to jump in just now because i'm being told that the deputy head of the transitional military council is speaking in qatar most of us and. out really good differences this. one many 1000000 people demonstration we have said the full service to protect the still of the lost but you know we can't do anything when it comes to infiltrators. we need to make sure that. it's 5 or 6 people right in the right now all the citizens have been hit and we need to go there quickly to show you the problem you know we need to know you have to know that there are. there are people who want to change the current situation. god willing. and

a lot of clapping there for the types of things he was saying morgan i hope you could hear some of that as well through the skype connection i mean he was sort of presenting the military there is the the guardians of the people there for protect the revolution and protect the pace when i suspect the bulk of protesters would see it differently. yes indeed come on that's not something new he's always been saying that the military council is article parcel of the revolution and that they are going to go to a function when the star protest in certain spots specifically one of the army has focused on june and in april the military said that they are going to end of a power as well which now people are not going to believe what he said and they're not going to basically it's not what they want it wanted the military council to say that they're stepping down and handing over power to civilian rule let's not forget that has been the demand since december since the protest parts of that and into the region to region

a former president on an issue and in the article independence and then transitional government another significant spot to expose that it's it coincided with the aid deadline the african union deadline for the military council to handle or to civilian rule as well as the 30th anniversary of the former in fact even national congress party which so people saying that this protest has significance and what's that depicted of the military council that said about holding people accountable that's something they're not going to believe and they're saying that they want to independent investigation into the killings that have happened in the protests just remind us as well because we did speak to you before we heard from the deputy head of the transitional council there just the update on what you were hearing about protests in sudan and even one reported death. yes indeed i won't protest there have has been reports of death and the northeastern states of ribbon are not going to specifically and there have been protests there have been reports of violence against protesters in several other parts of the country such as that because of the way people are reporting that the police and

the rapid support forces which is headed by the deputy head of the chance to speak council just told that they're using us under needs to their guns and to try to disperse the protests there also protests in some parts of the country and muslim parts so we can safely say that these protests are nationwide just like this one school question association that's called a float and now they're saying that those in full swing should head to the presidential palace to demand a sickening government and accountability for the attacks that happened on saturday thank you for all as updates here emotions are holding of course from at south sudan because al-jazeera has been banned from reporting in sudan. still ahead for you on this news bulletin tonguing into a controversy palestinians condemn the israeli inauguration of an important archeological sites in japan all set to resume commercial whaling but its people may have lost their taste for it.

hello although there's been some pretty heavy rain recently in central more especially southern china and it's that time the year i think much of the heavy stuff is going to be a bit further south in the next day or so got a tropical depression trying to form in the south china sea another one tried to form to the east of luzon and that is where much of the heavy rain is going to be some maybe over the water never less there is rain to fall from one door and up through fujian towards japan hong kong you may escape it these 2 on monday but i wouldn't want to guarantee it now though it's green as you see the circulation certainly wants to bring the heavy rain just off the coast of vietnam probably of the water and over lose all that does look particularly wet. then the monsoon has burst ahead of itself and it looks from this is oh it's going well suddenly after report it's not going well there has been some heavy rain in the west once again

from mumbai southwards 2 to 300000000 bees the last 2 days but the rest is developing over the water of the bay of bengal overland we don't see much in the forecast it should be raining all over the place and it still isn't 40 to draw degrees up in delhi 43 by tuesday this should be in the middle thirty's new should be thinking about sunder storms in kolkata you can elsewhere i mean. this is a dialogue a meeting about it for nothing on international media and on t.v. why should we stop its competition with skepticism because there's a lot of it on my everyone has a voice we are being taken advantage of just because we are a small black community without any network just eat healthy join the global conversation on out to 0 all they want to do is start

a debate the same kind of debate that we have here in the street. because the top stories this hour on al-jazeera donald trump has become the 1st serving u.s. president to set foot inside north korea he met lady kim jong un in the demilitarized zone which separates north from south but it is agreed to restart this stalled talks on denuclearization of the korean peninsula and troubles were invited kim jong un to come to the white house. and develop a new sudanese security forces a fired teargas. of protesters at least one person has been killed this is the 1st mass protests since the military killed more than a 100 people of the city in earlier this month. taliban fighters that have killed 8

election officials in southern afghanistan the attack in kandahar province were happened where people were registering to vote at a government office in the district local elections happening in albania despite a presidential plea to have them postponed and an opposition boycott the opposition accuses the ruling socialist government of corruption and wants a general election instead the leader of the opposition democratic party is describing the voting for municipal leaders as a farce and says the one sided result could spark civil unrest john psaropoulos is reporting for us from tirana albania. elections are smoothly underway here in tehran or there have been a few early protests this morning but nothing violent and voting centers have seen a proportion of their registered voters come through at this point but not as many perhaps as the socialist party which is the main party participating in this

election who would have wished in order to make these elections appear legitimate the socialist party would like the turnout to be strong even if it is only a turnout of its own voters the election is of course being disputed by the main opposition parties which aren't fielding candidates here they're saying that this is a sham the president has canceled them and rescheduled them for october so come monday the question will be whether much of the country will accept the results of these elections and whether the socialist party will move to unseat mayors which in $24.00 municipalities across the country have had opposition mayors who will likely refuse to yield to their seats because they don't recognize the election and therefore there's a question of what steps the government will take what steps the prosecutor's office will take to manage a smooth transition of power or whether they will allow this question ultimately to be decided by the constitutional court which is still being formed because it's

judges are being vetted and that could take weeks or even a few months and therefore the result of this election may remain a matter of dispute for a long time to come. israeli forces have now released the palestinian minister of jerusalem affairs after arresting him earlier on sunday had them he was detained at his home in occupied east jerusalem police haven't explained why he was being questioned but his lawyer says it's a return in relation i'm sorry to a visit by the chilean president at least 10 others were arrested in different parts of palestine the palestinian authority has also condemned plans by u.s. and israeli officials to inaugurate a contested archeological site pilgrimage road is a tunnel located in east jerusalem it has been under israeli occupation since 1967 lives beneath the sill one neighborhood going from the pool of siloam to near the western wall now this tunnel was excavated during the last 6 years by the israeli

antiquities authority discovered in 2004 during repairs after a sewage pipe burst in the middle of the school one neighborhood the site is believed to have religious significance in judaism but palestinian officials say it's an attempt to remove their hopes for a future capital in east jerusalem and smith with this report now from sad one. this is the palestinian village of silk on an occupied east jerusalem and at the moment at a ceremony there is the us ambassador david friedman on the white house's middle east representative jason blatt inaugurating a tunnel that passes from still one underneath me and brings people out on the other side of that wall on the other side of that wall is the western wall where jews believe is the wall that protected the 2nd temple and just next to it for geography the our access mosque now why this is an issue for palestinians is because it's the 1st time that the us as essentially sent representatives to occupied east jerusalem recognizing that all of jerusalem is the capital of israel

the palestinians want east jerusalem as the capital of their future state by the americans walking into east jerusalem there are essentially erasing the difference between east jerusalem and west jerusalem the palestinians say it's all part of the israeli plan to try and erase their heritage their history on this land this of course a city as important to christians as to muslims as it is to jews the palestinians say israel is trying to make the city more important for one group than the others . chiller has closing its borders to venezuelans escaping the economic and political chaos and have already been given shelter but the chilean government changed its rules to stop more venezuelans coming in as tourists as a latin america and as lucy newman reports now from the border between chile and peru some venezuelans are now resorting to walking through minefields just 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 unable 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. 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. physical men with physically and psychologically worn out with no more money and they're living out here 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 beyond this point is a minefield mines on the chilean side of the border that have been left over from the days when there were hostilities with neighboring peru now smugglers and

undocumented migrants use this route to try to bypass the legal entry points and now the venezuelans who can't or won't wait for visas to get into chile are using it to. most of the venezuelan aren't even aware of the dangers of walking through here chile's just migrant services urging the government to relax rather than tighten restrictions but. there's no hundreds of more been as well i'm stuck on several of our borders with bolivia to looking for other ways that we need to be more flexible or there will be serious consequences. back intact join a lease and her husband have just arrived with their 2 small children who seem unaware of their protests around. the situation in venezuela is getting worse by the day going back is not an option. as they prepared to spend the night in front of the consulate thousands of more than his wayland's have reportedly at the ecuador peru border on their way to chile

a wave of economic refugees that authorities may be trying to control but cannot stop. to see a human al-jazeera at the chile peru border. finally the heat wave in germany is expected to set a new record on sunday but people in france the u.k. and spain are expected to get some relief however firefighters still battling wildfires in catalonia and close to the spanish capital madrid soaring temperatures in europe are blamed for at least 8 deaths this week a new record high of just under 46 degrees celsius was set in southern france on saturday. with al-jazeera these are the top stories this sunday donald trump has become the 1st serving u.s. president to set foot inside north korea he met leader kim jong un in the demilitarized zone which separates the north and south. we just had

a very very good meeting with chairman cameron and we agreed there were each going to designate a team and the team will try and work out some details and again speed is not the object we want to see if we can do a really comprehensive good deal. nobody knows how things turn out but certainly this was a great day this was a very legendary very historic day in other news sudanese security forces have fired tear gas at protesters and at least one person has been killed this is the 1st mass protest since the military killed more than a 100 people a decision earlier this month protest leaders and are calling for people to march towards the presidential palace. the afghan taliban says it's killed 8 election officials in an attack in the southern kandahar province it took place as people were registering to vote at a government office in the murder of district. israeli forces have now released the palestinian minister of jerusalem affairs after arresting him earlier on sunday the

me was detained at his home in occupied east jerusalem police haven't explained why he was being questioned 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. local elections underway in albania despite a presidential please have them postponed and a boycott from the opposition they accuse the ruling socialist government of corruption and want a general election instead the leader of the opposition democratic party says the vote for municipal leaders is a farce and it could spark civil unrest and as we just mentioned the heat wave in germany expected to set a new record on sunday but there is some relief in other parts of europe but here in spain firefighters still battling wildfires catalonia and also close to the capital madrid soaring temperatures in europe are blamed for at least 8 deaths new record high of just under $46.00 degrees celsius that was in southern france on

saturday that's my lot for today thanks for your company martine's got the news hour and a half an hour after listening post. and the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world. is 1st of. all. i think that i. do think that there are questions that. are. lower much of just not in your at the listening post here are some of the media stories that we're covering this week the british prime minister in waiting for us johnson a reporter turned politician who is now running circles around journalists.

and has made this neighbor of his hip hop math donald trump and the rape allegation given short shrift by american news outlets and iran just ain't what it used to be the persian t.v. channel based overseas the traffic in this culture boris johnson the odds on favorite to become britain's next prime minister had one distinct advantage going into the race to succeed to reason that name recognition when the u.k. media dropped that name boris britain's know exactly who they're talking about as it happens the news business is where johnson got his start where his troublesome relationship with the facts 1st surfaced back in the late 1980 s. after getting fired from his 1st reporting job for inventing a quote johnson wound up as a correspondent in brussels where he produced a slew of flimsy euro skeptic stories that readers found amusing stories that could well have sowed seeds in people's minds for an eventual brax it fast forward 30 odd

years and there was johnson a key asset on the leave side. in the 2016 referendum campaign saying the same kinds of things about the e.u. as a politician that he wants to read as a journalist these days the british media finally seem to have clued into the fact that entertainment value isn't everything that boris johnson falls dangerously short of the qualifications for the job but he already has one foot in the door of 10 downing street so there's no awakening is looking like too little too late our starting point this week is london. we live in populist times in 2016 americans elected a former reality t.v. star a triumph of soundbites over substance to the white house. last year italians voted a party formed by a comedian beppe a grillo into

a coalition government 2 months ago ukrainians elected another comedian from london it is a landscape president in alliance. where does britain's boris johnson fit in these parts entertainer like donald trump part comedic side show like grillo and selenski or as one british columnist put it johnson is a character which lets him get away with things a serious politician wouldn't mr johnson's seriousness in short is most effective political weapon and that's a pro johnson voice writing in a paper that wants him to be prime minister boris johnson comes across as a amiable before in a long tradition of upper middle class british characters it's not really what he's like at all he's a ruthless issues the idea that boris johnson gets up in the morning looks into the earth so what can i do for the common man today is palpable. he's concerned

only with his own advancement he is a huge opportunist but he also has engaged in really really talk that forms of politics legislation that is detrimental to marginalized people and. immigrants and that is overlooked in favor of thinking about him is the character of fun. and we're facing the same problems that the american press. facing with trying. hard you hold to account and in this incredibly difficult because our. very. eyes and their overwhelming right wing and you can see concerted elements of the press working together to promote which is.

johnson is well aware that most of the u.k. print media do have his back but not all of them and when the guardian broke a story this past week that a neighbor of johnson's overheard a domestic argument between him and his girlfriend and was concerned enough to call the police johnsons carefully calibrated amiable buffoon act was put to the test on the airwaves can you just tell us what happened. that story dominated coverage of johnson this past week at the expense of another significant exposé last year reports emerged that johnson was being advised by steve behind the old right former white house operative who has ties to white supremacists brannon was reportedly behind president trump's efforts to ban muslims from entering the u.s. johnson repeatedly denied that he and bannon were working together but just last week this video of ben and came out shot in july of last year. to give

a speech in. let's go through he just went back to the daily telegraph as a columnist. talking to him or we can about the speech carole cadwallader broke that story in the observer isabelle oakshott is a former political editor at the time a paper that has employed johnson they see this story in distinctly different ways you know i. boris johnson's press it to get a comment and 1st of all he said it's just not true and then i said well you know we've got we've got video saying otherwise and then he said come back and instead he came back he said oh it's just all ridiculous conspiracy they dropped it in oil i this is all nonsense i don't think boris has a particularly close relationship with steve bannon boris knows all sorts of people and sure he's taking and listening to advice from the wide variety of characters

some more reputable than others but it doesn't mean that there's some kind of conspiracy cooked up here to take world politics legend to the right. perhaps not but less than a month after bannon made those comments about working with johnson mentioning the daily telegraph this appeared in the paper a column written by johnson trumpy and in turn and content saying that muslim women who wear the niqab look like letterboxes and bank robbers. we don't know all the specifics of the relationship between boris johnson and been the other way it doesn't matter what matters is that he is trading that play the same kind of politics that boris johnson likes to ramp up the hatred toward certain groups of people at particular times that this moment a patriot towards muslims which is an existing sentiment in. the daily telegraph and boris johnson have a relationship that goes back decades one that has had an impact on british journalism and politics johnson made his name as the paper's brussels correspondent

from 1989 to $94.00 there he hit on a formula filing stories on the arcane bureaucracy of the e.u. pointless regulations that supposedly mandated the size of bananas and condoms or threatened to make some of britain's favorite snack foods illegal that the stories bore little relationship to the truth was of no apparent concern to johnson or the paper employing him johnson's reporting helped set the tone for the way the e.u. was seen in the u.k. and eventually for the bracks that referendum of 2060. what boris johnson's euro skeptic journalism did was the simmering your skepticism within the conservative party. but possibly more important it set the tone for 25 years of british media coverage of europe because every news editor in fleet street

thought that what boris johnson was producing was much more interesting than the usual grade dull fare that came out of brussels and they demanded the same i know this because i was a process correspondent for 3 years myself at the end of the 1990 s. so come the referendum. the referendum wasn't lost in those 5 weeks whatever it was in june 26th seen it to be lost over the previous 25 years can we blame boris johnson for britain's fundamental euro skepticism tracing that back to a couple of decades ago almost when boris was churning out these ludicrous stories exaggerated stories it was a colorful made great copy and people lacked a top but i'm sure also people took it with a little bit of a pinch of salt. boris johnson's ongoing relationship with the telegraph remains central to his political ambitions because the current prime minister to resign may

resign before her term was up her successor will be selected on july 23rd not in a general election but by the conservative party membership and until then the telegraph will continue to provide boris johnson with a weekly platform a direct pipeline to the 160000 conservative party faithful who will choose britain's next prime minister. the daily telegraph is the bible of the conservative party. and our next prime minister is being chosen not by the british public but by the north point 25 percent of the electorate who happen to be tory party members so his column in the daily telegraph is immensely important to him i think it's quite extraordinary to me breach is every. the code of journalistic ethics i cannot understand how he or the telegraph gets away but. if the

politician and the paper do get away with it it will be because the line between politics and the press in the u.k. between those elected and those supposedly holding them to account has long been blurred by mutual self-interest. boris johnson is just the latest beneficiary of that and if the polls prognosticators and bookmakers have got it right he'll ride that relationship all the way to 10 downing street. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers flo philips slow we're still almost a year and a half away from the u.s. presidential elections in 2020 but the campaigns are up and running there were those 2 televised debates on the democratic party side this past week but the coverage seems to be overshadowed by coverage of president trump which once again

seems to be falling short in the u.s. news media yes richard that very same u.s. media saying that what same papers that have done a lot of self-examination about mistakes they made mistakes that could well have played a part in trump's 2016 victory now 2 years into his presidency it seems that much the media is still struggling with how to deal with him say this past week no shortage of potentially explosive material over which to question him lots and lots of stories about the inhumane conditions at those detention centers down on the border with mexico and yet when trump sat down for an interview with n.b.c.'s chuck todd on meet the press told let him get away with some blatant lies but i ended separation i inherited separation from president obama now trump has said that the . for blaming president obama for those family separation policies but he's been knocked down not only did todd let him get away with that but the meet the press

twitter account later posted a tweet echoing trump's lie before eventually posting a 2nd tweet noting that trump's claim is false and all that from a program that used to be one of the holidays hitting political interview shows on the american at waves usually tropper trucks saturation levels of news coverage when that doesn't happen it's actually noticeable and there was one such case this past week where the follow on power verge of an allegation didn't really hit the mark far from it rich just over a week ago the advice columnist carol published an extract in new york magazine an extract from her upcoming book in it she accuses president trump of raping she says that he attacked her in the dressing room of the department store back in the 1990 s. now that's front page news for most people not it seems for many of the top newspaper editors the only one that gave it top billing was the washington post the new york times ran the story in its book section treating it as

a story about an upcoming memoir and not a rape allegation against a sitting president on the t.v. side carol did appear on m s n b c but none of the major networks a.b.c. c.b.s. n.b.c. fox devoted more than a passing reference to the story brian stelter who's the host of reliable sources the media analysis show on c.n.n. so there's a fear eyes about media fatigue fatigue that is about now more than 20 allegation of trump's harassment and sexual abuse of women it's media fatigue now what kind of hope do we have the coverage that we're going to get down the road we are still almost 18 months from these elections ok thanks flow. the latest stare down between washington and tehran over iran shooting down of that u.s. drone made for plenty of scary headlines the threats of military retaliation from president trump eventually came to nothing but this is a situation that is being closely followed by oppositional iranian groups including

crown prince raise a pox levy the son of the former shah of iran the prince has recently offered many an exclusive interview to western news outlets presenting himself as a credible democratic successor to iran islamic leadership that is debatable given that the prince's father ran an authoritarian regime protected by a brutal force of secret police until he was toppled in 1979 however the monarchy remains popular in large segments of the iranian media diaspora channels like the u.k. based manila toe t.v. b.b.c. persian the is stamboul based gem t.v. and t.v. which comes out of los angeles those channels have pioneered a shondra of programming you might call the stage of t.v. documentaries and entertainment shows that skate right past the repression of the shah's reign and focus on the social freedoms of those times the listening posts i mean actually ravi now on the iranian media diaspora its penchant for an astrologer

and the rose tenting of iran's pre revolutionary history. every friday night my new t.v. a persian language satellite channel based in london invites viewers to turn back the clock sal and that's when there's a month into nearly as our money or time time out delivers a feast of archival footage showcasing life even on under its last shot mohammad reza pahlavi. what the u.s. see is a vision of a liberal and stylish it on led by a benevolent king it's enough to make you wonder why the. 1979 revolution and the overthrow of the shah ever happened you see women out and about on the beach on university campuses in the workplace participating in sports images of the shah and his wife his 3rd wife usually the empress. always looking very beautiful looking

very glamorous the idea is look at how how beautiful and happy and fashionable everybody was in the past and like we are now more than mom. and i found it quite extraordinary when i visited iran a few years ago to find out that almost every person in iran was familiar with monitor we're going to the channel success with access to run archive footage from the period before the revolution that's muscle boffin macoutes oh yeah as well because i knew about ansari has such a loss to bessie already that by the. manner tour started it. broadcasts for audiences inside iran to provide them with entertainment and news that they would otherwise not receive certainly all the channels inside iran are censored certain topics are taboo. manito provided those topics such as monica

which has been the biggest. when anatole launched in 2010 it entered an already crowded market iranian media outlets broadcasting in exile. the 1st we will get on an immigration took place in the lead up to the 1979 revolution. mass protests against the shah his oppressive government and his brutal secret police the savak would bring him down. the popular uprising eventually coalesced behind the country's new leader ayatollah khomeini and in 1979 the islamic republic was born. many iranian immigrants ended up in los angeles which became a hub for persian media production in the eighty's after that wherever iranians were migrating to new media outlets were taking root the acts of t.v. of the eighty's was very raw it was very immediate so they were appealing to nostalgia literally yesterday or you know just last year

a few years ago and they were also appealing to the sense of loss and unrooted ness that that folks were feeling as as new exiles their programming was mostly music and films and then some politics when satellite technology emerged and there was a possibility to broadcast and iran you saw that shift and more of an emphasis on political content and calls for action and calls for even revolution the channels that come out of los angeles the diaspora channels of overtly political clearly very anti islamic republic in terms of their output many of them on a case certainly very nationalist and they're so political in that regard so vs where the direction is that i think their impact is probably less about you know it is you know sorry gift or for the. last name get a thank you in massive. those channels that have a less. clear political agenda and really have

a more of an entertainment agenda i think they have great attraction in iraq. after early came jim t.v. in istanbul and farsi one in the by these channels added turkish and mexican soap operas dubbed often poorly into persian to the mix then came monotone out of london monotone stock in trade is entertainment laced with nostalgia politics isn't absent from its programming its mishan fisted last year they produced a very influential documentary on the founder of the pan of dentistry reza shah it's a largely sanitized reading of the rain has to be said but it is a hyundai entirety more. or cheeky. done than i am yet to me honey sure it is very rosy it's very positive there obviously producing an agenda but it's done in a quite subtle way it's not so overt is to put people off immediately. then

they get heart toward the. shore taliban hi michelle i can order back. the younger generation have the impression that before the revolution there was no poverty in iran. and certainly monitor would not discuss the savant torture or the censorship of cinema our newspapers and the parliament or just of the iranian government flexibly to this footage to create a very negative image of our time monitor cherrypick glorious and beautiful archives that do not provide a true picture of historical reality to us on earth believes in a manner to which. according to some who run the aspirator media outlets like mezzanine and sorry the managing editor of the k. hunt london website pro-monarchy output is fulfilling a real audience demand for us in. every single time that we put anything to do with monica with reza shah with in on one with

reza pahlavi the clicks go up high there is a demand it's not as if we are providing them with a sanitized version people want it because they look at bakit history and they see in those days they were proud a proud nation the source of monitors funding is a mystery and the channel itself won't talk about its large budget the unanswered questions have spawned numerous theories that the cia the b.b.c. the saudi government the pile of the family or the islamic republic itself are all possible backers of the channel. or to requesting an interview regarding its finances and programming back saying they have a strict policy of not speaking with other media outlets this is one thing that journalists do one word does manage to get its funding for us and then a lot of iranians provide us with funds but they don't want their names to be no

mandatory as well and certainly if you come and ask me who are my funders i will not tell you it's a very tough market and why should matter to. people who wish iranians are funding it. the truck administration has been tightening the screws on iran unilaterally exiting the nuclear deal agreed to by more than 30 countries up economic sanctions and ratcheting up there today iran's leaders so k.o.'s. death. and destruction. monarchists and there are many more outside iran than inside sense that now is a time of opportunity the u.s. based country. son of the shah clearly agrees he's been making himself available for proof eyepieces in the western press interviews on the us government sponsored radio photographs of the. met broadcasts input into iran i'm adding to the output

of all those d.s. but a t.v. outlets and as u.s. pressure the sanctions and the threats squeezes the islamic republic the autocratic tendencies of the country's ruling this is only helping make the case for some kind of alternative this nostalgia has been generated by the islamic republic itself rather than than the basically creating a new generation that detest the pre-revolution period they've actually produced a new generation much more interested in what he reads about now part of this to be honest this because even the worst aspects of the shah when it came to political repression france has been multiplied several times over by the islamic republic what people are producing is popular history for the masses it's not necessarily good history i have to tell you but it's population that's going out and people are lapping it up. finally back to boris johnson and that fight he had with his girlfriend last week that caused such

call in sudan for more mass protests against their military rulers at least one person has been killed class. stuff the good it's great a lot of good. donald trump walks into history as the 1st serving u.s. president to cross into north korea. back in the hanta japan set to resume commercial whaling after 3 decades but is there still an appetite for it all say. i'm going to see a new one in front of the chilean consulate in packing up a rule just near the border with chile in the outback kama desert and this is becoming the latest flashpoint in the venezuelan migrant crisis. there was something in sudan where at least one person has been killed so far all. more mass protests which are demanding that the military hand over power to

civilians the process organizers of what they hope will be a 1000000 strong march have called on the demonstrators to walk to the presidential palace in the capital khartoum where these lasers rallies marked the deadline given by the african union to the transitional military council that was the day today was the day that they were supposed to be handing over to a civilian led transitional government well the military council denies that it was responsible for that protester who was killed. gunman listed in. the military is here to protect protesters but we can't do anything when it comes to infiltrators 5 or 6 people have been hit and we need to go there to sort out the problem you have to know that there are infiltrators people who want to change the current situation but god willing if we reach an agreement and if you understand the situation we will get rid of the snipers who are killing the people right now.

all right morgan now joins us via skype from juba in south sudan and bring us right up to date then able the number of people who are turning out around the country and what the situation is regarding the security forces. well martino let's not forget that the sudanese professions association has called for nationwide protests the protests are not happening just in the capital alone it's happening in various other states as well spoken to police experts as well and to activists and they're saying that the british forces are using tear gas level munition and across the state they're also using gas tanks and wolves to try to disperse the protesters at this stage in these professional associations as indeed in the course of the protests at all that would say that the test is that they need to march to the presidential palace to demand not just a signal you know transitional government but also accountability so at the end that are on the our own and the sit in front of the un headquarters and be in

search of people who are there for what for for 2 months nearly to try to force the government educational military council tell over how to assemble units and they were attacked just so they're saying that this protest today does not only march to demand a 1st accounting government but also a kind of ability to sort that out attack constantly and there it right and it was just yesterday $100.00 hiper that the transitional military council announced that they were accepting the latest proposal to come from a the african union and ethiopia accepting a proposal would which would lead to a resumption of negotiations but it doesn't look as though that is the case given the pictures that we're looking at now. yes indeed they did say that they are going to that they have agreed to that if you are in mediation proposal which is backed by the african leader the opposition coalition as the forces both freedom and change have also agreed that the 2 sides martín are yet to sit down together along with the mediation team and various other enforce that have been sent out by

various countries to try to iron out their defenses so they're saying that until they sit down and green to promise to do next as if these protests will not come to an end as i've said earlier the sudanese for professionals association is the leading cause and they're saying that people should head to the presidential palace to put pressure on the military council currently the military council is holding an emergency meeting to discuss the latest turn of events the protesters that have turned out let's not forget that there was an internet shut down and al-jazeera was banned from reporting just 3 days before that 2nd of 6 and so there is that if the military does not and what are then the protests will continue him or him live in juber in south sudan thank you very much right now we can speak to us as i say human rights activists and she's joining us via skype from alexandria in virginia in the united states reza what's your assessment of what's going on in your country

today. i'm quite happy and i haven't been this happening in a while and so it really did and i'm so proud of the people in sudan and their resilience and commitment to each of these the number islands was a sense a struggle against this juncture but as he said another said he will go protest coming to the streets in large numbers and not only hospital but also in smaller cities and towns as well as huge a lot of junk. like that munition and guy as. i'm sure that the people are going to be determined in going to state and state and state of course and the need for testing and the reason they're lasting is not only just because it's a lot for the freedom and change of course this but it's also only for them to express how they feel about the recent events of talent each they're going to have has. has met their numberless is there as well. and i.

know i was going to ask you sorry to interrupt going to ask you i mean how much confidence do you really have that the military is prepared to a enter into meaningful negotiations with the opposition and be to leave power in the back of my mind is the news of this 6000000 dollar contract signed by him a t. and a canadian lobby for it seems very much as are the military is digging in. of course they're not going to be willing to give it out they will be forced they will never do that willingly they will never want to live which flower not because they are partners steve but also because they're going to be implicated if they are out of power so that's very normal it's very natural but we are forcing them and force is not only just from the street but also realizing who is supporting them t.m.c. and the jumps out how did it come to this money how did have mickey understand what lobbying is so unless we dry up that source and buy that $1000000.00 speaking about

saudi arabia the u.a.e. then it's going to be really hard for us to move then come to succumb or be able to . think this is changing now rather i was going to say that's the point isn't it the behind him and he and the military council are some big guns both regionally and further away in the gulf as you mentioned and they've got deep pockets. while the pocket is not going to continue where ever and there's a lot of efforts on diplomatic level internationally to make saddlery be any way realize that supporting the stunt is not in favor of their regional simplicity or the international stability so this is i think they're coming to this realization and as for the lot being that hop on the slate or a little old. member change this is not going to change anything this is still even with the might even with the lobby people who are not wholly then it got right there is a very important thing this will dynamic consent it will i'm not giving their

consent to that jumps out how much more they're going to kill them until they realize that hold it going to hurt people are not going to stop this is not going to end not to be even after this and it means or whatever even to the germans with that seat i promise you this is will not stop it's going to be a long battle and the big. all are willing to do it because honestly for some short period which made me worried people started to cheer what the military and i'm happy now that it is not just them anymore and they realize who they are so now as we are as a nation has settled end and we will no equate the military with with our set with the old so now they know who they're against and want to stop here the military my simon agreement might they think that they're ok and they will give us some asked but we know that they are now going to do our i wholeheartedly and they will never

do it genuinely as a thank you very much you gave a talking to us live from virginia in the u.s. thank you. oh it's just a couple of steps really but donald trump has become the 1st u.s. president in office to cross the border between north and south korea from the south into the north of girls that president trump has lauded the friendship with leader kim jong un and said that he was proud to be the 1st to go into the north meanwhile south korea's president mean j.n. here companied president to the demilitarized zone which separates the 2 country but its president and kim jong un's 1st face to face talks since february and the widely considered failure of their summit in hanoi vietnam war now they've agreed to restart denuclearization talks and kim can expect an invitation to the white house is that diplomatic editor james ray's. this went just the

way president donald trump wanted pictures that will make history and potentially reinvigorate peace efforts waiting for him the other side of the line separating north korea and south korea kim jong on a handshake on the 3rd meeting and then. became the 1st ever sitting u.s. president to step on to north korea and saw. the 2 then walked back into the south and addressed reporters stepping of course that was agreed on a lot of struggling. a lot of friendships have been made and this is going to take a great project so i just thank you very quickly notice and i want to thank you charlie i believe looking at this action this is an expression of his willingness to eliminate the unfortunate past and begin a new future. then what sounded like an invitation so we're inviting him right now

so i'm waiting to hear. the 2 leaders of nations still technically at war apiece. treaty was never signed when the korean war ended 66 years ago then went to what's known as the freedom house on the south korean side of the d.m.z. that is all for here i've always wanted to meet you at this place as a symbol of the separation of the north and the south and a reminder of the unfortunate past meeting at such a place shows that we are willing to put an end to the unfortunate past and also open a new future to provide positive opportunities in the future. at the end of 15 minutes of talks president trump announced that detailed negotiations will soon begin steve is going to do a fantastic job he's going to be representing. us in the talks and. will be we will be dealing with south korea will be dealing with president moon and his people but pretty much it's go.
