thank you so much going to leave it there thank you so much for your analysis and your insight and giuliana a china analyst joining us there from hong kong and other world views sudan's military government is blaming a small group of offices for last month's raid on a sit in outside the army's headquarters in khartoum the head of the committee that looked into the crackdown says' rogue offices violated orders by telling other security forces to fire on demonstrators it was a worse outbreak of violence in the unrest that followed the military's removal of longtime president omar al bashir in april saddam's opposition says more than $100.00 people were killed but the june disputes that number but the opposition rejects the findings of the investigation in a news conference held this their cues the military council of hiding the truth. i don't believe what happened today undermines the political process unless the military council looks for excuses to prisoner go see a sense or procrastinate the process what happened today is
12:01 am
a natural response let the military council see this is a strong message that the people cannot remain silent as the investigation commission was formed not to establish the truth but to conceal the truth and speak to him or going to our correspondent who is in addis ababa in neighboring ethiopia we heard the reaction there from the opposition there before says a handful of officers but no mention of the a military general who is widely thought to be responsible for the attack on june 3rd tell us more about what else is new is in this report. well holy we've heard from the head of the investigation on the teach it's had a man's aid and he said that at least he said that 87 people were killed and that about 200 people were injured now this number is very different from the numbers that we got some the sudanese central doctors committee which said that over 100 people were killed and more than 700 engines so the opposition and protesters on the street are disputing this report there is saying that the findings of this
12:02 am
committee is not reach is not fair and they're demanding a free and independent investigation that is something they have been demanding full weeks now we've seen people coming out in protests under streets demanding accountability demanding answers and they saying that they knew who was behind it they were there when to sit in that was attacked they've had videos and it was released on social media over the last few weeks so they're saying that this investigation is not independent and is not acceptable so they have rejected the report the protesters as we've heard what is their next move going to be. well for the moment we have the transitional military council expected to resume talks with the forces of freedom and change polish and that's the opposition coalition that represents the protest is now that it's largely depends on them and how much pressure they put on the kinds of the military council if they always ask for accountability that it was an independent best investigation but now we're going to have to wait and see if they continue to push for those demands and the talks
12:03 am
between them and the military didn't out there are talking to climb a transitional government that it's going to constitutional declaration which will decide what role eastern every body in the transitional government will have but it's a large expense on if they put pressure on the military council and protesters on the streets are saying that they are relying right now on that list in the post of freedom and changed to give them the accountability demand and push for an independent investigation thank you for that he cannot for as an added. more ahead on this news hour including bahrain executes 2 men convicted of terrorism charges despite an international appeal not to do so myanmar officials try to convince or hangar refugees to return home but is it safe and a qualifying nightmare for ferrari ahead of the german grand prix peter will tell us more in sports.

12:06 am
like of the presidential elections that's one problem with a major problem coming up so strongly is the of course the economy and the economy 15 percent unemployment 31 percent graduate unemployment those are extraordinary figures now also course there's been a lot of labor strikes because there are austerity measures seer the price of food the price of fuel it's all going up and that's really seen the pressure on those at the poorest cent of the scale here in tunisia and not on the coastal areas which rely on tourism but very much in the center and the south of the country those are massive problems and the the new president how much time to actually solve those and the new parliament either have a bit of a honeymoon period but the pressure is really going to be on them to make democracy mean something more to the people of tunisia thank you for that david 10 lines for a scene tonight. bahrain has executed 2 men convicted of terrorism charges

12:18 am
welcome back you're watching the news hour on al-jazeera with me for the back t. ball our reminder of our top stories this hour protesters in hong kong are refusing to leave a metro station after the latest day of violence in the territory there are angry over attacks on demonstrators on sunday which they say were carried out by police backed galland members. sudan's opposition has rejected a government reports that blames a few offices for june's crackdown on a protest campaign khartoum investigators say. rogue officers violated orders by telling other security forces to fire on demonstrators killing dozens. and world leaders have attended the funeral of tunisia's 1st democratically elected president a set c. the 92 year old died on thursday after what's being called a severe health crisis. returning
12:19 am
now to sudan and one of our top stories on this news hour joining us is how george kukai who is a member of which is a non violent resistance movement that helped organize the protests in sudan thank you so much for being with us so the military has released its report on the violence of june 3rd during which dozens of protesters were killed and they're blaming a few rogue offices for the killings what do you make of this report is it misleading or not. it's misleading it's insulting and it made us really angry we were actually in the street because we were protesting what they release sudanese football player. today and we were surprised his name safety and we were surprised at that and the number of tear gas that the few of us at there were hitting us
12:20 am
really strong they were like why are they fighting us we are and later on we discovered that they had this announcement that they knew was going to make us angry and they were scared that more people come out of the street and right now in khartoum people are burning tires and people read angry because everybody seen the videos everybody there's a lot of people who were there i was there i was beaten up i know it was beating us up it wasn't like 2 people masked and it is just that the stories they're giving us are just not believable and they're saying nobody was raped they're saying that. of all the bodies that came out 40 bodies that came out from the nile that they were not part of the part that although we actually find that people and we identified them where part of the protest and who are innocent and so the story is really far fetched and there is a lot of evidence so we do we don't even you don't believe them so tell us a bit more about how people have been reacting and what is the next move going to be as far as the protesters are concerned if you don't believe them and what
12:21 am
happens next. so there's more than one thing one they should not there's shouldn't be any investigation until we have a solution government so this is an investigation trying to clear the name of the transition moti council before we go into actually a civilian government so for us when we wanted to wait until we have somebody who we trust to do them has to get to them so they're doing investigation on themselves so that's one thing the other thing is like we've seen the videos we've been there we know what happened and for you to come and say there isn't that there why hasn't been one race although there's 70 reported rapes to say that the number of people who died was 17 within that area and actually the number is way higher than that to say it's just a few people while when they've been through with such a big event and tonight what's. the whole like a lot of people involved and to say that no it nobody was in but we just got back
12:22 am
to that because just these are older people middens like no we know this was planned this was high level and and this this was a massacre because you wanted to remove everybody from the city so you can go ahead and not and have your own government and not have to have a civilian government and we all know that and the story's so widespread there are so many videos it was it was a record it is there's a lot of people witnesses said fivers there is so to eyes this is not except that there is indeed a lot of evidence and a lot of witnesses as you say but how do you even if there is a civilian government which is you know what is expected in the long term the military will still have power and so don there will still be a powerful force so how hopeful are you that there will be justice. we're actually not helpful we feel bad when we can build an institution like institutions that maybe a few years and then we can have justice but right now with that remember wade was
12:23 am
signed we cannot even we cannot take them to justice for 3 years through the transitional period so that's why the people in the street are actually some of them are even angry at the. signature itself and now the negotiation we think that with millions of people are in the street we should have been able to get to a place where everybody can go go to their suits and go to court so right now like right i'm talking to you and i'm seeing fires so if you are talked to people are really just already starting to burn tires down streets and they're showing how angry they are at this report which we all feel is an insult and right now people are trying to organize and see what are we going to do throughout the whole week just to talk about justice and now doubt can we go forward and what are we expecting and definitely we're expecting justice thank you so much i just for speaking to us had a sudanese activist joining us there from kontum thank you for your time here a man foreign minister is in iran for talks on the worsening crisis in the gulf is
12:24 am
mediating in the dispute over and pounded british and iranian tankas last week amman's government tehran to release a u.k. flagstone i'm peril iran's revolutionary guards detained it 2 weeks after the u.k. moyle marines house sees a vein in tank and grace one. has more from tehran. the amount of foreign minister use of been allowed we've been a visit comes at a very critical time we know that this morning he's met with members of the foreign minister including his counterpart jawad serif no doubt they were discussing the sea's tankers the u.k. and iran as you said have both seized each other's oil tankers and later today your money foreign minister will be meeting with iran's national security advisers so really these tankers will be the crux of the conversations they'll be having he's been here before his last visit was 3 months ago so this dialogue about regional tensions has been ongoing with oman for some time it also comes as the u.k.
12:25 am
announced just days earlier that it will be sending as a matter of routine as a matter of course military vessels to function as escorts for its oil tankers and its cargo vessels that navigate the waters of the region especially the strait of hormuz so really the talk and the tactics being employed now are vermin the essence of a much more violent time of a of a much more dangerous time for vessels in the region in the 1980 s. when many oil tankers had become casualties of the iran iraq war now it is certainly not as dangerous in those waterways now as it was back then and the omani foreign ministers mission will be to try to keep it that way but also to deescalate tensions even further. the united states has signed a deal with guatemala on immigration it requires people who travel through the central american nation to seek refuge there before they can apply in the u.s. meanwhile the u.s. supreme court is allowing the president to use pentagon funds to build
12:26 am
a wall on the us mexico border the decision overturns a lower court ruling and will make it easier for donald trump to build his long promised barrier as speaks to ross and jordan in washington d.c. for so ross in the last 24 hours we've had trump went to court victory on his border wall and also announced an agreement with guatemala the result of both these things is going to make it very hard for migrants to reach the u.s. from central america isn't it. well at least in the short term that does appear to be the case folly when it comes to the ruling on whether the pentagon funding can be used not for actual military operations but to build this so-called security wall between the united states and mexico there are still legal challenges to this effort and what the supreme court ruling basically said was this reconstruction can't continue this funding can't continue while the legal challenges continue now
12:27 am
that does not mean that the courts are going to ultimately decide that the pentagon funding is actually legal there is a chance that this funding could be stopped and that the department of homeland security would have to transfer the money from its own account back to the pentagon but this is something that has to be worked out through the courts it could take months if not years to work out so however though the president is considering it a victory because he's apparently operating on the premise that once you start to do something it's really hard to reverse it in this case to take down something that is in the process of being built now as regarding this agreement with guatemala this is apparently the effort of lots of political pressure and economic pressure by the united states on the government of president jimmy morales there apparently were threats against guatemala basically for bidding all travel by
12:28 am
guatemalans to the united states taxing the richmond says that water moland citizens are sending home to their relatives and really making it difficult for the guatemalan economy to do business in the united states export its goods particularly clothing and other household items to the united states and so there's this thinking that in the face of this kind of pressure jimmy morales had no choice . donald trump for his part is celebrating this deal because even though the courts have said that they cannot deny people who are seeking asylum from coming to the united states and asking for asylum at least in this instance fully trump has convinced morales to compel people sell dorrance and hondurans to ask for asylum while waiting in guatemala and not make their way north across mexico to the u.s. border in hopes of trying to resettle here thank you for that rossley in jordan

12:30 am
have a government that will really response to any of those people the governor's mansion is now a place of celebration where people come to take selfies and revel in the governor's removal as puerto ricans look to the future expectations mostly on better governance a better government in general. really can connect with the necessities of our people we're brothers and sisters in the eyes of god and the eyes of the nation and we are on the eyes of the whole world and we need to keep unite everyone that's been elected have to understand that they work for the people totally my constitutional expert in human rights activist judith birken is optimistic about the island's future she tells us change may take time but it's coming so there may not be a temporary solution that's going to be seen as have
12:31 am
a quick many way but i think nonetheless the way the protest who are in particular it's a nation of an otherwise apathetic generation will mean long term fundamental change puerto rico then is it a political crossroads it's not yet certain who the next governor will be but it is clear that the future leadership of this island needs to reset its moral compass when the trust of its people and give them hope there's now a new generation of young voters here and they're joined by the events of the last 2 weeks and they may very well shape the future of this u.s. territory and. san juan puerto rico. iranis taking place in new zealand because of concerns a housing development will be built on land seen as sacred to the indigenous people about 5000. people gathered in oakland where the country's largest builder plans to develop 480 houses protesters say the land borders an important on here logical
