a rousing welcome from a loyal team prime minister boris johnson's new cabinet dominated by brics that hardliners at the 1st pep talk and if you. believe the european union. on october that's really good even though if there's not there's far too much noise in this training but in parliament a very different mood johnson had promised to unite the conservative party but his ruthless decision to sack or sidelined 17 senior ministers may have done the opposite for his enemies on the back benches on many but his 1st statement was one of optimism channeling his hero winston churchill painting a picture of a golden future for britain that is why i believe that if we've been dossie in years to the toss. there is every chance that in pretty 50. into it i fully
2:07 am
intend to be wrong. i don't know what this is certainly is joy. we will be able to look back only this period this extraordinary period as the beginning of a new golden age for our you know. for the opposition leader dismantle that idea. no one underestimates this country but the country. but the country is deeply worried that the new prime minister overestimates himself . this is the last day parliament will sit before breaking for the summer but the challenges facing the new prime minister and men's negotiate a new brics a deal in 98 days a deal the e.u. says cannot be renegotiated and fix up a multitude of problems facing britain health care education and security all with
2:08 am
just a parliamentary george of just 3 many say the country could be heading for a general election you know he did say during the leadership campaign that he doesn't want to have a general election before he's delivered breck's but that doesn't seem to be as much of a hold red line as i would search 1st of october so that might suggest that he will try and call this the election relatively soon these are the skills to these. this is a prime minister with a deadline like no other facing unprecedented opposition hooping his optimism is infectious charlie al-jazeera london. now u.s. senators of that legislation that would block some sales to saudi arabia the foreign relations committee vetoed sorry voted 13 to 9 with 3 republicans joining democrats in backing the measure and many voiced concern that the weapons could be used in the ongoing war in yemen the legislation would also impose sanctions on the saudi royal family but is expected to be opposed by
2:09 am
a president donald trump president trump has vetoed 3 measures to block arms sales to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates over the war in yemen while expressing his concern for civilian casualties in the conflict trump says congressional efforts to block weapons sales would damage relationships with key allies while speaker of the house nancy pelosi condemned trump's move saying the president's shameful veto tramples over the bipartisan bi cameral congress and the petraeus his administration's involvement in the horrific conflict in yemen which is a stain on the conscience of the world well she has returned she is live in washington with more on this shihab to vito's in a row house congress reacting to being vetoed on the saudi issue. that's exactly what the senate foreign relations committee was wrestling with this morning in their meeting what they had with 2 different competing visions of what congress can do to show their displeasure with saudi arabia we had the chairman of the 4
2:10 am
relations committee with his bill which basically was a slap on the wrist for saudi arabia it imposed some visa restrictions for a few saudi officials and called for some sort of inquiry into u.s. saudi relations he said look this if we all vote for this on the senate floor. trump and the administration won't veto it and congress can show it has some role in foreign policy that's a real debate about what role is this congress how oversight does congress have over foreign policy of drugs is going to veto everything i am in the view of many congress members republican and democrat takes underhand uses underhand tactics to sell weapons to the saudis the ranking member of the senate foreign relations committee they said no what's the point of just saying that we can do something we did something if it has no actual consequences on the issue at hand which is to say we don't like the carnage in yemen and we also feel that those involved in the murder should be held accountable so what they did was there was all this this huge tussle this morning and actually menendez the the democrat ended up putting him for putting his very strong language into the very weak bill that the republican
2:11 am
chairman had introduced at which point the republican chairman said he said well that case i'm not going to introduce the bill it all i'm taking my football away he said it was a sour grapes just that he sees no reason to push a bill that has no chance of actually becoming becoming law so that's where we're left with what you originally said that that original strong bill from robert menendez with republican support which would sanction mama been solomon potentially and also the u.s. end and the saudi end in an air fueling for the saudi air force so crucial to the yemeni bombardments but the travel of the house for relations committee sort of made it clear he had no intention of bringing it to the floor of the house for a vote so in the end with aft with paralysis once again there are other there are other initiatives underway. which may be more successful but right now we still have that sort of paralysis as congress tries to figure out what courbet do how strong is it going to be to assert its authority over foreign policy she had her tansey there for us in washington d.c. thank you see how. well members of sudan's opposition of called for marches across

hello and welcome to the program i'm richelle carey for months people protested in sudan calling for civilian rule several people were killed hundreds injured once again people are out on the streets but this time the sudanese professional association has mobilized its supporters to show that they are committed to a new start all this after ethiopia and the african union worked to bring them all to the negotiating table stands opposition coalition has met to resolve differences over the formation of a transitional government with the ruling military council and they've reached what they're calling a political deal but the military says it boiled a coup attempt on wednesday and the military chief of staff was among high ranking officials who were detained were good thoughts on that from our guests in a moment 1st this report from him morgan and the ethiopian capital addis ababa. there is also of more than 3 weeks of talks amongst the dance opposition leaders
2:23 am
bearing fruit after numerous meetings between the armed groups of the coalition known as the forces for freedom and change and the civilian components of the coalition the 2 sides reached a deal that was all out war korea what the you know we are a coalition a united coalition but we also think that sudan's revolutionary front groups coalition has to be part of this transitional government so we will have more talks a representation at all levels will ensure that peace is achieved and can guarantee a stable transitional period the 2 sides also agreed to form a hierarchy to lead the opposition coalition something it had lacked since it was established in january it ends tension between the coalition leaders especially after members signed an initial power sharing agreement with sudan's military council in her last week that was done without the consent of the armed groups some of them have been fighting the government for over 18 years and want some level of representation in a transitional government in the midst of this in the us we have agreed to speed up the formation of a civilian transitional government and the 1st step is ensuring pace these talks
2:24 am
reached a comprehensive peace agreement with groups we haven't yet decided who will hold positions in a transitional government. the deal paves the way for the opposition to resume talks and sign a final agreement with the military the dentist currently rulings to dan after asking the country's long time ruler i wanted to share in a military coup in april following months of anti-government protests that i think you can seize up on wednesday the military council said a coup attempt was made to try to overthrow it i'm not gonna let me no question on the whole feel how the military forces were able to uncover the details of the plan and the participants led by general hush. the military joint chiefs of staff and a number of military officers and senior members of the national intelligence and security service this is in addition to leaders from the islamic movement. and the national congress party they have been taken into custody. but. as the
2:25 am
opposition comes out feeling the united from the talks and i disappear people in sudan continue to wait for not only a final deal between the coalition and the military to time but for the demands 1st a 1000000000 rule and accountability to be met with this if they want all times of elements of the former government gone to believe that the revolution they started is victorious people morgan are just there oh i just about an. hour to the panel and carteaux sama here and mubarak spokeswoman for the sudanese professionals association and istanbul while the mentee both founder and president of the sudan policy form and yasser arman a sudanese opposition member joining us from the a skype welcome to all of you yes i want to start with you what is it that you know about this political deal as it's being called that's been reached with the opposition coalition what do you know about this well you need to worry about those the leadership of the freedom unchanged coalition that is
2:26 am
a collision. an immense and a great contribution to the sudanese the russians were here or not is a problem. for. our bull's-eye you negotiation position and we had want to include the issues or these transform asia to bring democratization and receive this was sitting meant that hunts in hands and also to discuss issues of 3 still achieving the sudanese did and issue or equal. citizenship and those are various issues for a new social political cultural dispenses you when you talk about equal citizenship telt talk more about that what do you mean. well i mean that does you know sudan is a country that is a david's country and this step is
2:27 am
a diffuse deficit doesn't look beautiful months so out the eastern you of this is done since independence or so done and that one of the sources or the instep belief of the wars that. has been going on in sudan says 1956 and as so we need to use the supervision as a mechanism. to solve gotten issues and problems that has festered on and one of them it was citizenship that was so done before the independent of south sudan in one system of more than 570 different nationalities the right ones in more than 160 languages this has not been to my eyes and done his bottle of the mind by the civilization which is black civilization which has been going on for more than 7000 years while laid when you and i spoken about this this whole sudan
2:28 am
situation for the past few weeks and you would actually mention to me before that a key to anything being successful there would be dealing with all of the different parts. of the coalition all the different all of the different ethnicities are you encouraged that it seems they have come to some sort of agreement. thank you for having me i i think that there is there is hope if that is i mean in the past. previous 3 games have tried to super impose a peace settlement and the more those governments try to be super imposed those peace settlements. the more they feel to be the premier. of the embodiment of the of the unity. of the people and the custodian of their hopes so no no them no doubt people are realizing that they need to.
2:29 am
address the structural issues the structure of roots of the problem i think we will come close the closer than ever to change for. a final peace settlement however the way i look at it the peace process itself is poorly designed the process is poorly designed in the sense that it seeps out perspectives that are sympathetic to the poor to the in pinelli displaced community to the moderate you know lies to the poor the women in general and secondly i think. it clearly strains a bit was in is that it limits that is to say it limits the debate between north and elites rebel leaders who i mean what the groups are trying
2:30 am
i mean to do to maintain this type of school and that won't be helpful at all so well and so i think does that mean so are you saying that these are what you see as still weaknesses and the coalition coming to some sort of agreement these are deficiencies you still see. the coalition are you talking about the forces of freedom and i'm talking about a document on the opposite i'm talking about the opposition saying the various opposition groups and the rebel groups saying that they've come to a political deal today so now they can get back to the table with the transitional council that's what i'm talking about i'm saying do you are you encouraged by that particular development or do you still see weaknesses and that particular coalition . no i think we have we i mean we have to help. the forces of freedom and change because i mean doug body despite of all the agreements that we might have what was it it's it has presented
2:31 am
a unique opportunity for the sudanese people. to form a coalition one that is civic and political 5 however those those yankee elites they i mean some of them might you would want to titian's but others like experience we need to support them we need to give them to provide them with advice and they shouldn't pick a sport all right they shouldn't think that they are free of blame they made mistakes they ought to recognize those mistakes and try to live from their mistakes but for us to to weaken them i think by weakening them we are weakening our own selves and we are given antidemocratic forces. to move to make a move forward some hair on this political deal how sound is it to you how necessary is it for this to work to even get back to the negotiating table for
2:32 am
anything to work. well it's very important that all the parties and all the components of the forces of freedom and change and the components that have not signed on freedom and change the narration are on the same page because at this stage it's a stage of moving forward and the initial this agreement in particular is very important because we're talking about the 6 months of peace after which we are going to start that reconstruction and rebuilding process and for us. to speak of rebel groups and arms rebels these rebels went out to face the previous reaching its end this previous regime for us to face it right now. we need to lay down arms and we need to sync off of the results of this revolution to start
2:33 am
a democratic process that will be that will represent all components of the different components and all resolutions and conflicts to be set in place and to be addressed that it's a good course while it's so this news announcement that there was an attempted coup and there were arrests made including the head of the joint chiefs of staff what do you make of that. it's mean if you look at the transitional military council the way it has been billing this situation it has been dragging its feet now we have 3 allies is there and listen until it makes you don't win and c.b.s. . due to make it to making a transition to democracy. will be dire consequences so are i think from the very beginning it was very obvious that the neighborhoods or sudan mainly duped if you. and john and they are clean
2:34 am
in having is still able to done but the overall opinion having. strong sudan because as strong sudan is going to raise the issues of in a good sources and competition migration and refugees and some territory and disputes but they definitely want. a stable sudan because they realize that any stable sudan we raise issues of does national terrorism trends and ties national crime it's going to raise issues of. i think profiteering and human trafficking but but in order to hunt beyond those issues they need. they should have looked at a very serious document because the document that was signed was not a serious document in the sense that it did not that is the structure of rules of
2:35 am
the problem it did not think of. the the courses of that has led to the spread of gender based violence multi-day is a dimension of. poverty and i think. ethnic conflicts and civil wars so clearly there are still quite a quite a few issues that have to be dealt with but i'm intrigued by what you said about a stable sedan as opposed to a strong sudan some here do you what role do you think the international community has has played in this say they've been part of the problem or part of the solution . well i believe that after the massacre the african union and the mediation have played an important role in bringing the. forces of freedom and change and the military council back to the table again. with the lack of trust that has formed between the 2 components of whether
2:36 am
it's the f.f.c. or the t.m.c. and the fact that this massacre has been a turning point in the revolution. was made it very difficult for us to be rebuilt so i believe the mediation made by the you and the international community as a whole represented by the african union was important. despite the fact that. condition of. of the link with the investigation of the massacre being an important part of the deal and apart from that it still has a very important role to play apart from just mediating the talks has an important role to play in the ensuring. that they oversee that this deal comes through and that the components. that the concessions that are made are
2:37 am
concessions for the sake of the people of the people of sudan represented by the f.f.c. rather than making concessions for the military council over the f.f.c. i believe that that is a very important point to bear in mind by the international units and the international community and the african union in its mediation of course and we've come a long way but there is still a long way to come apart from just sitting for talks and signing the and it's important to oversee this process to oversee that this entire transitional period and this the in actually does come through and of course when i say international community that actually i can grouping a lot of countries together that may not necessarily all have the same interests when it comes to what happens in sudan there are competing interests from from various countries or how difficult does that make it for sudan to get on stable
2:38 am
footing and move forward when there are so many people that are dipping their hands on what's going on and everyone doesn't necessarily want the same thing. goes it is a complex. region. or use on the vigil. it is mostly diminishment. issues that need to be resolved and. gave us interests internationally that didn't need to. do so. interests into or out of many and there is a need to offer inclusive process that would include the amount of belise it is of sudan that will include women use and these issues are complex it is not black and white answer for us out but the political process should be inclusive it is. it is among. their future it is necessary to get you know learn the lesson and help but not on
2:39 am
the expense of sudan it is the sudanese people to decide their future and what they want we need as if no civilian government but it. would set to an inclusive process that was dick us. from war to peace from the from front from the old system into a new system while a what has to happen now now that the the opposition coalition seems to have worked things out among themselves it is time to get to this next step of figuring out this transitional council who's going to do what what is the key to getting past the roadblocks for that part of this agreement. i think operationally speaking i mean i listen to your 2. respectable guest and i think there are some issues that are very important but now operationally speaking. what
2:40 am
the country cannot stay for more than 6 months without a prime minister and the forces of freedom and king ought to have but a very transparent process through which they can choose a prime minister i mean. it's a process this whole issue of a democratic transition is a process it's definitely not on even sudan has been i mean in the last 6040 years it has been die out of by politically an ideology clearly oriented process we need to look more into a policy oriented to inform this how hasn't happened so far i think what could make that breakthrough is that joyous over a prime minute. because that will give that would provide some sort of leadership
2:41 am
it would provide hope for the people it's not going to be a panacea for all ills but we cannot stop the whole process until all issues are resolved knowing believe that those issues are very complicated and they have been good for almost i mean more than 7 decades in order to do you going to strike there is this this thing that you need their prime minister to the sounds of the situation ok why let me bring on some of the oldest images to dispel the some here i'm i'm curious s.e.u. nodding i'm curious if you agree with that the what latest saying that that the installation of a prime minister or or some type of leader is key to moving forward do you agree with that. well i believe that a very important point that he mentioned is that we need to move forward. the country has been at
2:42 am
a standstill for the past 7 months. but the fact that the country is at a standstill for the past 7 months now us just because of what happened in the last month the most important fact that is if there is any and some of the people of sudan and the fact that people want change and they're not willing to go back to life as normal and less this revolution is is sad i scrounged with a civilian government. just here i'm going to bring you back into this is a something i'm someone here mentioned earlier that it's obviously important and that is that you know what more than 100 people have been killed during this protest how important is accountability for that in moving forward well it is very important of course getting. the. best and does remain because it is and anybody should look at is not the magic of solutions hearing that is about what we have agreed to dessert we have agreed to it support
2:43 am
id resist but they're going to believe the ski because sudan has used in beauty and many. that cannot be punished for and that included many governments for decades to practices and therefore what happened in these strikes and in the globe i said the years it should be accounted for it is but the bill has to build a new society and to move forward and to have a new student and drive a new student. kind of who did all the due citizens all right a while later go go ahead ali. yeah i interject i thought he had i think i do i agree with my colleagues here but i'm just saying that this whole issue of i mean democratic transition that require some sort of leadership it got
2:44 am
