saddam's military have deployed special forces to try to contain that violence we're going to go straight to him morgan now he joins us in khartoum walking to tell us about the situation right now. well to understand how we got here we have to go back a few months when the then transition military council which ousted former president bush here in april told the operations unit that they were no longer needed and that they have been disbanded and dissolved and they could retire or choose to join the military and their efforts of course forces now what we've seen today is those who have rejected joining the ranks of support with the military think that their retirement money this difference that has been offered to them is not something that they feel is sufficient and they're demanding more we've seen several main streets in the capital khartoum being shut down by the military and their efforts to put forces as they were deployed to the price difference in the situation several fires around various cities various parts of the film and the
6:03 pm
ministry of information came out just a few minutes ago and said that there has been no reports of fatalities or injuries and that they are trying to contain the situation he's called on to those people who have basically mutinied for some members of the military if he said that they should put down their guns and try to negotiate peacefully with the transitional government but they've issued a statement those who are right now firing at the military saying that they want the head of the general intelligence service to come and sit down with them and pledge to increase the money for their retirement otherwise they will continue with the camp fire and various parts of the capital khartoum and some other states here but you may not be able to tell us just. 'd what sort of numbers are we talking about here in the rebels who are refusing to sign up to this new records. what are we talking about. al-jazeera has spoken to some sources and they
6:04 pm
are saying that the numbers are at least 5000 in the capital of so many known and that number could go as high as 10000 people who are rejecting the severance package so it is quite a large number which is why the government has chosen to deploy the military not just personnel. but there are also you think tanks helicopters around various parts of the capital so they are concerned that this whole. situation that is unfolding in front of us will evolve and that they will be the security situation that we've seen some people reporting that they have been robbed. and that they are concerned that some people would be targeted or would be caught up in the crossfire so it's still a situation that is unfolding and we're waiting to see what comes out of that thank you he will move in joining us live from. libya's fragile cease fire is in doubt after warring sides failed to reach a breakthrough during 8 hours of talks in the russian capital warlord who leave for half the did not sign a deal formalizing the truce but moscow says the talks are not dead however the
6:05 pm
outcome has angered turkey's president richard burr to one who's accusing have quote running away from negotiations and he had this warning for have to us forces . in the coming days we will carefully monitor the choices that will be made between the legitimate government if attacks against the people of the government of libya continue we will never refrain from teaching him the lesson he serves russia which supports have to campaign says it will continue to push for negotiations over violence but there have been reports of half his forces gathering in southern tripoli threatening the truce brokered by turkey and russia and we have 3 correspondents covering the rapid developments in the story. is in tripoli will go to him jamal this child is in the turkish capital ankara 1st though we go to moscow and what's moscow saying about all of this day. well stan after staying silent for most of the day the government didn't explain
6:06 pm
anything about why i have to suddenly left moscow and didn't sign the agreement he left apparently in the early hours in the middle of the night now they have. a statement that the ministry of defense says that is actually very positive about the final statement that they have been drafting and that he needs 2 days to discuss this with his allies in libya meaning the local tribal leaders they also said that the main outcome of the talks yesterday that lasted 8 hours is that both parties agree on this in different seas fire so there's a lot of optimism here that this cease fire will still be signed by by half star also i spoke to there had of the russian contact group for libya and he also had the same optimism he sat at the end after suddenly brought more conditions to the to the table he was actually present to during the negotiations but he said it's no
6:07 pm
problem there's no need to be worried he will do that's mostly signed his agreement because he has no other option that was the very clear message that i got here from the ministry of foreign affairs we'll have to see if this is going to happen in the next 2 days induced thank you for that let's go to turkey knowledge mothers are we standing by in the capital ankara the optimism coming out of moscow tomorrow but there's also a very blunt warning coming from 0 to one that he would teach have to us forces a list of what we read into this. well it seems a bit of a shift in turkish policies when it comes to pursuing their foreign policy objectives that lisa fritz compare it's true for example in a somewhat similar situation that they experienced in syria over the years where they supported a certain side but never really backed it up with any real kind of my it's on the ground this time it seems ankara is departing from simply depending on
6:08 pm
international norms and rhetoric but actually is trying to for want of a better phrase put its money where its mouth is it's already deployed military personnel in libya it's a sign several bilateral agreements with the governments there and that's essentially what they're saying is that they're not going to stand by and watch as have to either tries to walk away or scupper these attempts to try to find a political solution or will they know nor will they stand by idly if you continues to push militarily to gain more sections more cities and advance towards the capital so we heard from president one with that strong warning but without strong warning you also gave his justification for his country's involvement in libya both referencing historical ties and cultural ties but also strategically why he believed it was important for turkey to push for this political process jamal thank you ok let's go to tripoli. head is standing by can you tell us more about these
6:09 pm
reports we're hearing about movements by have to force. well the situation is honesty will still especially in the vicinity of the old inactive airport in southern tripoli in an area called around the word we're getting reports from there from military sources confirming that that have been clashes since this morning between have to his forces and those loyal to the government of national accord that explains how both leaders cannot really reign on the armored groups on the ground we know stand out several groups under have to hear out against the mosque or talks in fact they issued a statement claiming to have sort of for what they call not consulting them before he decided to go to mosque or on the other hand there are so many of the groups with the government of national called whole lot of still determined as they say to
6:10 pm
move forward until they push have to us forces out of the capital tripoli remember they have a prerequisite they said it several times that have to the forces must. pull out of tripoli as a prerequisite for any these talks the thing that is derailing these talks and maybe why have to is delaying the signing this cease fire a call is that he has civilized local allies and regional allies and bows are not maybe are not ok was signing this seize fire accord specially those inside libya you know that have to the allies here are the remnants of the good deputy g.m. hole they want to reinstate they get through how to sew in case how to move on in any peace talks so this can give him an opportunity to be a part of the coming to state but not for them which they do not accept stan but thank you for that but with your why live from tripoli we're going to take
6:11 pm
a look now at why this conflict has wider consequences for the region the. b.-a has become a major transit route for migrants and refugees heading to europe so european governments want a stable country to stop the flow of people crossing the mediterranean there's also a new maritime border deal between libya's internationally recognized government and turkey it carves out a corridor between the 2 countries potentially clearing the way for oil and gas exploration but greece egypt and israel oppose that agreement and speaking of oil libya is not reserves are among the largest in the world nearly 50000000000 barrels just more and is a form of a use a new coordinator in libya and he joins us now live from brussels it's nice to have you with us i want to go to something that our reporter from moscow said and it is this that in russia they believe ultimately have to will sign this deal russia or is a big backer of have to support is does he ultimately have little choice in this.
6:12 pm
well i hope they optimism in moscow is borne out the fact is though that mr hart has marched his men to the top of the hill and marched them down again now on 2 occasions it happened last april. just before the offensive against tripoli when the united nations were about to have a peace conference he pulled out of the last minute. on the face of it maybe a danger he's done the same thing here it's complicated it's difficult as your correspondent said is own people are a broad range of supporters ranging from some of them islamists of course within his own force and so very hard to get under the skin of that and to see what the reason is but i hear you have to be a little bit cautious about his real desire for a peace solution here always defaulted to a military solution which i would prefer to call a military solution and sorting out the situation of the country well indeed if he does resort to that military solution or illusion as you're calling it then we're
6:13 pm
also seeing a message coming directly from turkey president of the one saying he would teach him a listen what would be the capacity of turkey in this situation who will be backing the g n a and what impact could it have on actually stopping the advance of have to force if it came to that. well turkey of course has started to deploy some troops to the to the jna and to tripoli and quite some time now has been providing quite sophisticated weaponry to the jna and its allies and i suppose they could get to a situation where they might be able to deter any further attacks by half turn his people or hat for himself has recently benefited from the deployment of russian mercenaries denied of course by moscow but the group are certainly there and others the military situation seems to me to be as it was for the last 9 months which is
6:14 pm
essentially a stalemate what's needed here is some sort of diplomatic breakthrough the russians and the turks together made a valiant effort i'm not sure that they thought it through as well as they could have done because to have invited the principals seraj to moscow and then to one of them pull out of the last minute does not look good neither for moscow nor for turkey in fact more indeed for the country and that's sort of a worrying there is the berlin conference in which germany is organizing on the horizon together with the u.n. with the support of the e.u. institutions but in the e.u. which perhaps should be playing a more prominent role we're still a little bit split on this particularly if you're in italy and france and the americans are taking a backseat there are vacuums all over the place when it comes to the diplomatic process but the best hope i think would be that i have to find their way back to the table in the short term and then we move on to the berlin conference where
6:15 pm
perhaps it will be possible to get to a permanent ceasefire judge thank you for your your insight and ellis a judge more joining us there. there's plenty more ahead on the news hour including the u.s. remove china from its list of the manipulators ahead of the signing of the deal when they trade with. the new man in charge of spanish football champions bustle gets down to work peta will have all the details. but getting reports made ronn of several arrests in connection with the downing of a ukrainian a lot of earlier president house of rouhani said all those responsible will be punished rouhani also said no single person could be blamed for what he's called an unfit difficult area 176 people died when the military the stake in the shut down the passenger jet last wednesday. this
6:16 pm
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 them now. while 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. 3 european countries have triggered a dispute process against iran which could mean u.n. sanctions being reimposed britain france and germany say the iranians have reduced their commitment to the 2015 agreement to limit nuclear development that's despite european if it's to defuse tension and encourage iran to restart negotiations with the united states where john howell joins us now live from london john what's the
6:17 pm
process here begins this this situation now there is a review of it alternately does it lead to reimpose sanctions or open the door for further negotiations of a new deal. i mean look this certainly could be the beginning of the final unraveling of the iran nuclear deal that is possible remember iran has been gradually stepping back from its commitments under the deal ever since donald trump withdrew the united states. last year in 2018 rather clearly was the decision by tehran last week in the wake of the killing of custom soleimani that it was no longer going to be bound by you or any i'm enrichment limits particularly the precipitated this move by the e 3 britain france and germany and the e.u. it's the biggest step that they've taken back from the deal in response to anything teheran has done they've been working hard to keep the deal alive to keep economic incentives for iran alive in the belief that this deal the fabric of this deal is
6:18 pm
the best way to contain iran's nuclear ambitions now in terms of the dispute resolution mechanism it's contained in the deal there are very clear processes that go on now there will be discussions within the joint commission set up under the deal of all the signatories to try and reach a resolution is a 15 day period for that to take place which can be extended by mutual consent if that all fails it then goes to foreign minister level for another 15 day period again extendable finally if no resolution is to be found the final adjudicator becomes the u.n. security council where of course a number of the signatories to the deal are veto wielding members the security council will have to decide whether to lift the sanctions relief that is on iran under the deal together and reimpose those sanctions that have been in place before the 2015 signing of the deal now just that barrel is the e.u. foreign policy chief here earlier said that wasn't the aim and intention of all of
6:19 pm
this the aim and intention is to bring iran back into full compliance with the deal is mr brown. dispute resolution mechanism is not to bring both sanction. game of these make of these were used to resolve issues relating to the implementation of the agreement within defray work of the joint commission. i think it's has to be checked if you stand for to find solutions and return to full compliance within differing work of these they would even. talk you to the united states now democrats speaking of course this is in relation to the future impeachment proceedings against the pursuit for higher education. there's $1.00 trillion dollars of student debt that exists in this nation it is an anchor around the aspirations the hopes the dreams
6:20 pm
and the ability of younger americans to be entrepreneurial to start a family to purchase a home and to live the american dream and so we're going to take action this week as a relates to that proposed rule by secretary the violence we had a discussion about that we also had a discussion about what was taking place in puerto rico in town in terms of the malpractise of the administration the people of puerto rico american citizens who have died in war after war. on behalf of our great country but right now. have suffered through the intensity of a devastating hurricane. and the earthquakes and aftershocks children are unable to go to school hospitals are not necessarily receiving patients the people of puerto rico are in distress and yet the administration refuses to spend
6:21 pm
a dime congressionally allocated money to help out american citizens in puerto rico shame on this administration it's an absolute disgrace and will continue to escalate pressure on them to do the right thing we of course had a discussion that was led by speaker pelosi along with chairman adler and chairman shift about the next steps in the impeachment proceeding the speaker indicated with the full consent of the caucus that those articles of impeachment one abuse of power to obstruction of congress will be transmitted to the senate at some point tomorrow the speaker indicated that at some point between the moment that we are in right now and the resolution being debated on the floor. that
6:22 pm
individual impeachment managers will be named we are going to keep the focus. on the stunning corrupt abuse of power engaged in by donna. who pressure the foreign government to target an american citizen for political gain at the same time withheld without justification $391000000.00 in military aid to a vulnerable ukraine as part of a geo political shakedown scheme that is why donald trump has been impeached. because he abused his power and obstructed a constitutionally inspired impeachment inquiry and in america no one is above the law not even the president of the united states of america. the next step is simple the senate should conduct a fair trial
6:23 pm
a fair trial involves witnesses and documents what is the president hiding from the american people. donald trump said it was a perfect car. if it was in fact a perfect call. we should hear from mick mulvaney about that car and the actions that preceded it and follow we should hear from john bolton about that july 25th phone call. in a geo political shakedown scheme that the president was engaged in to advance his own personal and political gain the american people deserve a fair trial in the senate at the same time we're going to continue our relentless focus to get things done on behalf of every day americans are relentless focus to drive down the high cost of lifesaving prescription drugs.
6:24 pm
a relentless focus to protect more than 100000000 americans were preexisting conditions against the president's efforts notwithstanding his lies about health care. we're going to continue our relentless focus to strengthen the affordable care act to enact the real infrastructure plan and defend our democracy and with that let me yield to our vice chair katherine clark. thank you chairman jeffreys and good morning. the articles of impeachment boil down to this president putting is own political gain over that of the interests of the american people and what we see in the bills that are sitting on mitch mcconnell's desk is an extension of that these are not talking points they are policies that directly impact american families and could save american lives every day
6:25 pm
that mitch mcconnell holds up background check legislation we lose 100 americans to gun violence every day that mitch mcconnell holds up expanding health care and pursues a court case to undo the ac a 82000000 americans with preexisting conditions worry about their ability to protect their families every day that mitch mcconnell stonewalls the dream and promise sacked 700000 dreamers are left with their future in limbo every day mitch mcconnell delays the raise the wage act 33000000 americans including 20000000 women are denied a raise every minute mitch mcconnell obstructs the violence against women act nearly 20 people are physically abused by an intimate partner with every
6:26 pm
denial delay and obstruction his allegiance to donald trump and special interests becomes clearer and clearer. this week house democrats will once again stand with the american people passing the legislation to protect older americans from discrimination and to stop our students from being defrauded our message to the american people is that we will never stop working for you our message to mitch mcconnell is no one is fooled about where your allegiance is lie it is my privilege to be able to welcome to our d.p.c. see co-chairs and i will hand it over to matt cartwright. thank you vice chair clarke and chairman jeffries ladies and gentleman the.
6:27 pm
current house majority was one. because we promised to work for the people for the regular working ordinary american people that's who we promised to stick up for and this is a promise that we've been keeping we promise to clean up government h.r. one takes bold steps in that direction we promise to bring down the skyrocketing costs of pharmaceutical medications we've done that we promised to fight the current administration's efforts to dismantle health care for people with preexisting conditions it was astonishing when we learned last spring that the attorney general of the united states william barr decided to throw the full weight of our american justice department behind an effort to invalidate the patient protection and affordable care act i was astonished to learn that and
6:28 pm
lawyer asked the attorney general myself what happens if you win the lawsuit what's your plan he said well that's not that's not our department. and vice chair carcas right we're talking about upwards of 80000000 americans i've heard as high as 130000000 americans with preexisting conditions who are left on tenterhooks. while we did while we wait we'll leave this year obviously talking about a lot of american domestic politics but the real headline in all of this is the impeachment process and goes to me we heard initially from a team jeffrey's use the democratic caucus chair and he went through the next steps in this that the articles of impeachment remember that donald trump was impeached in the house of representatives the democrat controlled house of representatives those articles of impeachment will go to the senate tomorrow he says that this is a stunning abuse of power by donald trump and he's if it's to persuade ukraine to
6:29 pm
investigate his potential presidential political rival joe biden after it goes through the senate then the process will begin to ultimately move to a trial of donald trump it's worth pointing out of course the senate unlike the house is controlled by the republicans particle he's standing by live for us now in capitol hill just like a suit where this moves through we've been waiting for this this being to lie and finally the articles of impeachment will go to the senate what then. well then that we can see how many republicans join on board with mitch mcconnell so people at home might be wondering wait this happened 4 weeks ago that the house voted to impeach the president u.s. president donald trump so why did you say house speaker nancy pelosi simply wait for 4 weeks to send them over to the senate well let's think about the scene here we know that mitch mcconnell republican a loyalist president trying to said there's no need to call witnesses they can just do opening statements then they'll vote on what to do next he did things that this is basically he said guaranteed that the president won't be impeached because again
6:30 pm
republicans controlled the senate and you would need 20 republican senators to meet that threshold to basically remove the president from office so knowing that mitch mcconnell has said we're just going to basically do a quick trial move on he's not to be impeached nancy pelosi did what a lot of people see as pretty strategic thing is that she said on the impeachment articles for 4 weeks and what happened in that time as you saw pressure builds on a lot of these republican senators there are some conservative groups that are running ads saying that there needs to be witnesses and in that time we saw john bolton the president's former national security adviser who knows a lot of what was in that secret safe he came out there as a lawyer and said if i'm subpoenaed by the senate i will testify so pressure is building on these individual senators now mitch mcconnell can say i'm the leader of the senate we're not going to witnesses it's not up to him the way this process works is $51.00 senators need to vote to call a witness so that would just take 4 republican senators to join with democrats to
6:31 pm
say we want to hear from john bolton bolton has put out clues there he has made it known and made it clear that he has information about foreign policy that has not been released to the public so now next week after the senate starts there their opening statements that's when the real drama comes in will you see 4 republicans say no i want to hear from people or will you see the majority go with what some republicans have been saying is the house had their chance they didn't prove anything let's move on so it is going to be high stakes high tension drama here on capitol hill next week. thank you betty. you're watching al-jazeera here's a reminder about top stories negotiations are underway in sudan to wyndham mutiny by security force personnel shooting started and soon after disbanded intelligence
6:32 pm
service unit was given an ultimatum to either retire or join the rapid support forces blamed for killing at the government protests. across the reminds update on efforts to secure a binding truce in libya its defense ministry says warlord. has taken time to discuss the terms of a cease fire agreement with his allies early a turkish president accused him of running away talks in moscow. 3 european countries have triggered a dispute process against iran which could mean more sanctions being posed britain france and germany say the bra has produced its commitment to the 2015 agreed the 2 minute nuclear development. on that story now we go to teheran and joined dorset jabari dawson just take us through the reaction in iran to this decision by the other members of this iran nuclear deal. but we've heard from these spokes person of the foreign ministry up us who said be
6:33 pm
who issued a statement saying that in iran's response will be firm and strong in relation to or any action any destructive action that could be taken by the remaining signatories of they nuclear deal on this statement also went on to say that they it rain is see this as a passive measure day don't really see this as anything new where in fact it is a a serious development in terms of the feed where the future of this deal goes the european signatories are saying they're not happy about the steps iran has taken so far to reduces commitments since the united sates leftist steel in 2018 iran as a january 5th stated that it would no longer comply with all the limitations on its enrichment activities and enrichment related activities under the j.c. fuel way so really what was left at what is left of this deal is the i.e. a inspection of iran's nuclear facilities that's really the only thing that was loth and now the europeans are for have said that it's time for them to come back
6:34 pm
to the table and to have the scutcheon a serious discussion about the future of this deal because as it stands now they believe that iran is not complying with their agreements that they came to be in 2015 there was a just dipping a wise niro nuclear deal for him uh the do want to talk about the your wrists that we hearing about in relations the shooting down of that ukrainian plane is really thing more you can tell us about this well there was a briefing today in the capital with the weekly briefing that's held by the spokesperson of the country's judiciary and in that briefing we heard that the officials have arrested a number of individuals in relation to the ukrainian airliner crash now what is not clear is that whether or not these people are part of the government part of the revolutionary guard part of the khomeini airport staff it's very vague at this
6:35 pm
point who has been arrested and what they've been charged with all we know so far is that iran's judiciary has said that they have arrested a number of people but that their investigation is still ongoing it's important to point out that even the president hassan rouhani has said that there needs to be more clarification about the events that actually led to this horrific catastrophic mistake the human error that occurred that the iranian saw at this plane he said that there needs to be further cooperation between the various organizations that deal with the security of the country and especially when it comes to passenger planes flying around sensitive areas near among the airport so for now we know that they were indians have arrested a number of individuals it's not clear what they've been arrested with and who they are for the time being i understand that the investigation is still ongoing. thank you for that those jabari live into iran let's go back and discuss further that this decision by 3 european countries to trigger
6:36 pm
a dispute process against iran for what it sees as breaches of the iran nuclear deal for more on that we're joined by ole miss a call by who is executive director of the vienna center for disarmament and nonproliferation and joins us live by skype from vienna nice to have you with us there was an inevitability about these this was or was going to happen was that the triggering this dispute process. you are correct and fact. there was probably the political choice with respect to the e.u. 3 countries. can use into place at some point they have been gradually different steps announcements made by our obviously it's all into action by the us dollar deal on the only and then dreams ition of a u.n. sanctions search since major summer 19 iran has been gradually
6:37 pm
reducing our obligations under a deal and they don't they just want on january cease team which basically only didn't limitations on the iranian enrichment program as it was not it and they go with what is. needed and their technical needs for a start needs that. you will have been calling for they are out of compliance and have been saying that they will treat your best nectarines yeah i don't think it's team as a supplier it's a loner then if you want to get to this point of course the europeans they have one of the deal to hold in the 1st place but the united states scuppered that walked away from it so let's look at where this goes to is this a move by the other 3 members of the european members here to move towards ultimately re-imposing tougher sanctions on iran or would they like to see
6:38 pm
a renegotiated deal. and this flight whether they. use 3 countries france germany and the u.k. once you. find a resolution and preserve the current in one deal and the triggering out there mechanism. could probably have provided and i'm told it intends to diplomatically and each man and finding me is some solutions who preserve the deal and the crimes he said but they need to provide economic. sanctions and what iran has wiring they met is the old could also backfire because of the way it is in mechanisms to go it has a very. timely way and this consequence of. that need to
6:39 pm
happen and in the end if that's not result in dispute. dana whole issue could be back with her to the u.n. security council and then. there is a possibility. of this action that a piece. about it's. there this morning there is not discussion about renegotiating in you deal a better deal as. she has suggested all the way to her far more a stance saying nothing up they also would like to tap and you were saying that interest why we're talking about a possible audience preserving the existing deal or we'll have to leave it there alina thank you so much for that event to cover joining us there. well the u.s. is removing china from
