5:02 pm
what more has been said by the general intelligence services on the situation unfolding on the ground. well daryn it's not just the general intelligence services that has issued a statement on that issue the member also the military component of the suffering council that's the joint civilian military component that is heading a rather acting as the president today has described the situation as a mutiny and a rebellion and they say that they will try to contain it within the coming few hours in any ways and means possible now we've seen tanks being deployed we've seen military helicopters flying over the eastern part of the capital to trying to assess the situation to see what can be done but what we do know is that the operations units from the general intelligence service has rejected the payment that has been given to them after they refused to join their rapid support forces and the military they say that the money that has been issued is not enough and
5:03 pm
they are demanding more and they are saying that they will not and their status and they will not come and that gunfire and the general intelligence service itself announces that it's will give them more money so the situation is still tense lots of main roads in the capital khartoum blog and the army is trying to make sure that people do not act as the areas where there is gunfire in the capital khartoum and how significant is it then that the army has raised the security alert level. well the army has made it clear that they're worried that this mutiny would unfold and that they will be civilian casualties especially because the headquarters or most of the buildings where there are general intelligence service members from the operations unit in residential areas and we've seen some people in the residential areas closing down their shops we've seen some some people driving away from it to try to secure themselves and their family and we've seen some members from those intelligence services actively robbing people on the streets as they try to get
5:04 pm
away from the situation so they are concerned that this security situation would evolve and will deteriorate so the army is now trying to contain this we've seen them setting up roadblocks and there's been an extra inch of gunfire between the army and the intelligence services let's remember that the operations unit intelligence was the only department the only unit that was army intelligence service so people are concerned that this security situation this gunfire that we're seeing in various parts of the country would eventually deteriorate and that there will be civilian casualties caught in the middle between the military and the national security into an intelligence services ok but we'll cross to you a little later thank you for that update from khartoum 3 european countries say they're launching a dispute mechanism under the iranian nuclear deal after accusing to wrong of repeated violations france britain and germany say iran has been scaling back its commitment to the 2015 agreement to limit its nuclear program that's despite their efforts to deescalate recent tension and restart negotiations with the u.s.
5:05 pm
which abandoned the deal in 2018 the dispute process could lead to the reintroduction of sanctions under previous u.n. resolutions john hall joining us from london to break this down and tell us what this means for the deal and what the european countries are saying. well it could well proof fatal for the deal remember iran has gradually been stepping back from its commitments under the deal since donald trump withdrew the united states in 2018 but clearly i think it was the decision last week by teheran to no longer comply particularly with uranium enrichment limits under the deal that prompted this action by the ether e britain france and germany and the e.u. overseeing the whole thing a joint statement released a couple of hours or so ago says we do this in good faith with the overarching objective of preserving the j c p a that's the deal and in the sincere hope of finding a way forward. the e.u. will have notified similar taney asli russia and china the other signatories to the
5:06 pm
deal of its intention to trigger the dispute resolution mechanism it's the biggest step that the europeans have taken away from the deal in response to tehran's actions remember they britain france and germany have been trying to keep this deal alive since donald trump withdrew in the belief that a deal with turan is the best way to contain iran's nuclear ambitions now this dispute rest resolution mechanism if no resolution is found within a 15 day period that's a deadline that can be extended but if no resolution is found would in the end result in the so-called snap back of sanctions that were in place before the deal was signed back in 2015 just that borel the e.u.'s foreign policy chief spoke a short while ago he said that wasn't the intention of all of this the intention rather was to bring iran back into full compliance here's mr burrell. namely the dispute resolution mechanism is not to dream both sanction.
5:07 pm
game of this mechanism used to resolve issues relating to the implementation of the agreement within defray with the joint commission. i think it's has to be clear that it checked if it's there for to find solutions and return to full compliance within differing work of this agreement. as part of all this boris johnson the british prime minister was speaking here in london during the course of the morning he said it was time rather for a brand new deal to replace the j c p a and a deal he said that should be negotiated by donald trump he called it a trump deal he said this deal is flawed from the u.s. perspective let's replace it and replace it with a trump deal adding president trump is a great deal maker by his own account and by the account of others ok john i thank
5:08 pm
you for that update from london let's bring in the absence of paris is joining us from tehran are we getting a sense of what iran will do next. we've just heard from the foreign ministry spokesperson our boss mousavi who issued a statement saying that there will be serious and firm response by the iranians to any destructive measures that are taken by the signatories of the steel they raney's are saying that this measure that they've taken today is not a really practical one it's not a new measure they're trying to play down the significance of the fact that they were remaining signatories of the deal have triggered this mechanism which is quite important it means that there is serious problems with the implementation of this nuclear agreement on the part of the iranians and iranians for their part feel the same way about the europeans that they're not upholding their end of the deal which is why they all find themselves in this position now. and how much pressure is or
5:09 pm
so however is this putting on iran. well iran is in a very. particular position right now given the latest chain of events that have unfolded since the beginning of this year over the past 10 days. starting with the assassination of awesome selling money by the us government's followed by the plane crash that the revolutionary guard said they were responsible for shooting it down accidentally killing over $170.00 people that this now means that there is even further pressure on the sky from and they're on a government whose main achievement and during his presidency was the securing of this nuclear deal in 2015 but since the united states left and then reimposed a series of sanctions there has been no benefits for the iranians that's why they feel like they haven't really been able to see why they're still in it but the same
5:10 pm
time they don't want to abandon it because this nuclear deal is really something the iranians have to hang on to it's the only chance they have was to interact with in terms of their interaction with the international community to ensure that they are aware that their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and under some kind of a supervision of the i.a.e.a. that was the main point iran will limit its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief a return to the international economic markets but since the u.s. left everything has changed and this whole nuclear agreement is now in question and the iranians are saying the europeans have to put have to uphold their and the deal and the europeans are now saying well the reins haven't done that so far they're reducing their commitment and there's really no compliance left on there the technical aspects of the deal within their nuclear program they've gone back to pretty much where they were pre 2015 levels for their nuclear activities so we have to come back to the negotiating table none of the parties want to abandon this deal
5:11 pm
this is important i think the iranians don't want to and the europeans certainly do don't and neither does russia or china so i think this mechanism has been triggered to force all sides to come back to the negotiating table and talk out the issues that they have at the moments are a source of our thinking. now libya's fragile ceasefire is in dallas after warring sides failed to reach a breakthrough during 8 hours of talks in the russian capital the war lords $24.00 have to did not sign a deal formalizing the truce but moscow says the talks are not dead however the outcome is anger and turkey's president. is accusing have to out of running away from negotiations and he had this warning for have to sources. in the coming days we will carefully money to the choices that will be made between hafter and the legitimate government if attacks against the people of the government of libya continue we will never refrain from teaching him the lesson he
5:12 pm
deserves for russia which supports have to campaign says it will continue to push for negotiations over violence but there have been reports of have to his forces gathering in southern tripoli threatening the truce that was brokered by turkey in russia earlier in the week let's bring in step for us and she's joining us from moscow to talk us through what more the russians are saying about the cease fire talks. well after the government silent for most of the day about why i have to suddenly left moscow without signing the agreement in the early morning the early hours of the morning and now it is this a ministry of defense statement basically saying that the half hour has reacted positively to a definable agreement that they made yesterday but he needs 2 days to discuss this with his allies in libya meaning the leaders of local tribes and it also said that
5:13 pm
the main outcome of yesterday's talks which lasted nearly 8 hours is that both fighting sites. agreeing to an indefinite seize indefinite ceasefire and this will create a good atmosphere for the berlin conference which is now scheduled to take place on sunday january 19 also they mentioned maybe an explanation why things are have been delayed is that the amount of into libyan problems have piled up over the years and this morning. the foreign minister basically pointed the blame at europe and the west western forces who basically made this mess in libya as he sort of describe it that this need thorough work so it needs more time but they are optimistic that this will happen that there will be a signature in 2 days from now i also spoke to the hat of the russian libyan task force contact group and he said he was also very optimistic that half the will sign
5:14 pm
and the main reason why i asked what happened last night and why did he disappear he said that he suddenly brought new conditions to the table but there was nothing to worry about this is normal he sat and he was very much convinced there will be still this signature and it's also not clear if you will travel back to moscow tools signed the agreement according to this this had of the contract contact group peace that there's no need for that so it can happen anywhere so we'll have to wait and see if this russian optimism about this cease fire will actually materialize in the next few days. all right step awesome thank you well jemiah jim i'll show ya isn't it turkish capital ankara and he says president is trying to pass the blame for any renewed violence he wants through showed the international community that it is have to i don't have to those allies who are to
5:15 pm
blame for any resumption in fighting for the instability that continues in libya not the same time show that it is his political efforts and those of the turkish leadership that are trying to establish some sort of peace and push for a political solution the reality is that that's what has developed over the past 24 hours at least in the sense that the recognized government of tripoli the internationally recognized government of tripoli which turkey backs has agreed and has signed on the paper which stipulates having an open ended cease fire and working towards a political solution and the ones that province have been the other side namely that of hospital b.c. that's put the russians in a precarious situation because they've supported tough there so much both financially and through something mercenaries militarily but they are not alone in terms of sponsoring crafters. project in libya there is the united arab emirates
5:16 pm
and egypt who obviously have their own considerations as well turkey's president insists that things must go on as they have been planned and as we heard there had a warning if that doesn't happen that he wouldn't hesitate to ensure that turkey responds to any attack of those forces. still ahead on al-jazeera iran's president promises that everyone involved in the ukrainian plane tragedy will be punished. a new study says the world's oceans are warming at an alarming rates will tell you why the seas are one of the clearest indicators of the depth of climate change. hello again and welcome back to international weather forecasts well for japan things are looking better in the next couple of days the big system the cause of the rain is starting to pull away but your temperatures also going to fall as we go

5:24 pm
mistakenly shot down the passenger jet last wednesday. did see. that taught you think it's right or this incident was without precedent in the history of our country there has never been a time when a person in charge of our air defense systems or an officer has committed such an error against a passenger plane in the country's capital and so close to the international airport mans him now that of the sympathizing with all the dear families that were hit by this major tragedy i tell them that we will continue this path until discovering all the aspects of the incident and punishing those involved and finally reassuring the people that such an incident will not happen again. because more from. president rouhani expressed remorse and condolences for those people killed in the plane crash and he said that he had attempted to shorten the length of the investigation once he knew the cause of the crash he had asked officials to let people know straight away but he also said that this was an
5:25 pm
unprecedented mistake and he said he promised that the government would carry on pursuing this case and he called on the judiciary to form an independent tribunal with an independent judge to look into this case but you also said it was a positive move that the armed forces had accepted responsibility and apologized and that's reflected here in iran many people feel it's a watershed moment they're not used to their own forces accepting responsibility or apologizing or saying that they've made a mistake but again president rouhani did say that this wasn't the responsibility or a mistake of one individual those operating the missile but there was a series of mistakes but ultimately he did repeat the line coming out of iran that this is the united states the united states is to blame setting off the cycle of events after the assassination of general costs and so the money the heightened tensions on the evening the airplane was brought down they said this is an excuse for them to not pay attention disease case and he said that needs to be an
5:26 pm
investigation and reform to the air defense system if required but he said that this was and i quote unprecedented for such a grave mistake in the history of our country the u.s. is removing china from a list of current countries it accuses of manipulating their currencies it's happening just days before they're expected to sign the 1st stage of the trade deal u.s. president donald trump has long accused china of keeping the wind at low levels to get an unfair trade advantage alan fischer is in washington and tells us what this could mean for the trade war. go back 4 years donald trump when he was campaigning to become president said that in this 1st year in the white house he would clear china to be a currency manipulator well he eventually got round to just 5 months ago now it really was a symbolic gesture it didn't really have much impact it could have opened china up to greater scrutiny from the international monetary fund but it didn't really
5:27 pm
happen this was at the height of donald trump's trade war you'll remember he imposed targets or in billions of dollars worth of chinese goods he said that china was poor in billions of dollars in fees into the u.s. treasury in fact if you look at a report that came out just last week it said that 100 percent of the cost of tad of swizz being borne by american families $1.00 survey said american families were about $800.00 a year watch saw so this sure is that things between china and the united states are getting better in the markets have responded well to that it's up again in the united states at the close of business on monday so it seems as if things are improving but there is criticism of donald trump not surprisingly it comes from the democrats chuck schumer is the leader of the democrats in the senate he said look china is still a currency manipulator the united states shouldn't be taking that tab away and it
5:28 pm

5:29 pm
a climate change expert at the australian national university and he says irrepairable damage is being done to our oceans and we're running out of time to act. the record is absolutely clear when you look at a 30 year period from the 1950s to the 19 eighties and compare it to the next 30 year period from the 1990 s. to the present the ocean is now warming 4 and a half times faster than it was back in the mid 20th century so that showing not only is climate change. the really big issue but it's speeding up and speeding up probably more than we've expected hopefully it will add to the other events that are occurring like the bushfires in history and other events around the world as a wake up call to say we are running out of talent it's a bit like the titanic the titanic of course crashed into the iceberg in the 1920 s. and so and by the time they realised they were getting close to that iceberg it was too late they couldn't change the course of the ship we saw just
5:30 pm
a saying it's really getting late now it's almost getting too late and if we don't start changing our behavior our use of fossil fuels etc we could pass a point of no return feedbacks into a london mix and the earth may continue to warm even if we get our greenhouse gases down so there is there is a tipping point employed of no return in the system and we're concerned that the risk that we're coming close to that is increasing this evidence of what's happening in the ocean is a very important very big piece of evidence to say that we have a really interesting dangerous waters. the headlines on al-jazeera at this hour so the news security forces have opened fire in the capital khartoum. problem they're believed to be from analogous than that operations unit of the general intelligence services fighting has broken out
