4:04 pm
of the president kind of side has promised to uphold people friday. but there are still fears here of a return to absolute one man room, lexia brian al jazeera or we're going to speak tom edgar lou on the phone. now he's a member of the executive committee of the not the party and is at the protest. and eunice, 1st of all, so can you just give me your impression of what's happening on the streets? what's the mood? i'm thank you for reading what's happening when i had spoken about to get you to me today, you can say when you don't have to be on the tree happening today that we can be sending out most
4:05 pm
of the day. i'm not always going to be blocked, people coming for the things that i want to drive, they are being deprived from reaching to come up on the road being really being known. so people can not come to protest against the 2. however, the member, which is that we choose here today, why the big but nobody can speak aloud and just people get straight to demonstrate again. mr. go and what are your demands of the president? our demands are basic. we need to go back to the constitution. you need to go back to the flow, we need to go back to separation between our to the end of the control of the sake . we are a democracy and nobody has the right to break the system. if
4:06 pm
one wants to give the people the right, the president said, there is no way other than democrat the means and twos. and what do you think will happen if your demands are not match? well, right now, something has happened in the country. and people how starting taking the street as a means of expressing their views. this means the public's and this means that i cited using the total installation problem with anything people. i cannot see any way. but one way that's going to constitution going back to grad because the tuition otherwise we are going into them. i mean road in which we feel that our country will not be able to secure food to the people that come through to the people of geneva. and they don't think that the missile side to be able to, to deliver,
4:07 pm
to govern in the way he wants to do. so he will have to 10000 today. tomorrow there will be hundreds of 1000. i'm going to be appreciate your time in speaking to us. thanks very much. indeed. that's the situation there and units. let's speak to to jamal a shell. now, who's an expert on this? really? you reported from trinity many, many times including a during the spring. so what's your sense of what's happening here and how representative is what we're seeing of the national sentiment. i mean, it's representative in the sense that it shows there is widespread opposition to the president and to his decisions. obviously in democracy is the best form to judge representation is through elections. i will point to the fact that he won presidential elections. but those participating in the streets will point to the fact that there was a parliament which case i had decided to suspend and not part of it came about through elections in the vast majority of the members of parliament are opposed to
4:08 pm
the decisions that she made them here in the issue is if i cited ones to turn to the streets for legitimacy, while he may have had the upper hand on july 25th, 20 made announcements, it's becoming increasingly clear that she no longer has that or is at least at risk of losing the street. so therefore, the choice is actually to go through the ballot box is what we're hearing from whether be another even are the principal parties and even the trade unions and members of political parties were initially in support of him for you to do that. you need to respect the constitution, that's the constitution that dictates what's happening. and here is the danger. because what's triggered a lot of people here is that walls, they may have initially supported the high side decisions because he addressed them in an anti corruption way emergency measures that were needed to deal with the crises, both in terms of economy and in terms of cov, it people question, well, if that's the case, why are you taking all power i'm putting gets in concentrates and get into yourself
4:09 pm
and why then have your support has gone out and burned the constitution? why then has he dismissed the constitution of something that isn't sacrosanct and doesn't need to be respect to that degree? right. the next question is if he doesn't exceed 2 demands at these protesters, what happens then already hearing that, how access to the streets is being blocked through degree. so where there's still time for him is that the people here come out so far opposed to him or posters announcements. the reason to, you're all tentative in the sense that you have a president's figure there. in terms of the opposition, there are divided amongst many different things. all that is unites that all that unites the mother. is there a position to these moms who is then he won't, who is going to negotiate? to move yet? that's a model for the are spring countries in the pool is that it's embraced through the governing, through the train, which included different principal factions, the trade unions, and so forth. he's done away with that in terms of his single minded approach. if
4:10 pm
he's able to convince people to come to negotiate, to the negotiating table and discuss that could be a solution. but i think when we're looking at this is still a bit early to talk about real pressure being hyped up on him he's. he will be very much aware of this, but when i was listening into one of his speeches just 48 hours ago where he said that, you know, he was continuing with his decisions and the path that he had chosen on a bass. if he doesn't really care what's going to happen and he's going to continue fervently, that was not the rhetoric of somebody who felt on the person either. he's in denial . and that could be the case by the way, because me looking at chinese and st. tv, which obviously he's running, it's not even showing this protest, so he could be very much hoping that he can ignore this and it goes on. but there's a lot of people, both internally, incentives and externally, who are watching this. you're talking about european countries that were there, and busses of which went and maximum per person on him is going about now sounds coming from washington and pressure on the structure of that to intervene. so if
4:11 pm
these protest continue for another day or 2 or 3, there could be a high popping pressure on the president actually change his course, right? and then we look also what the security forces are doing, what they're going to keep, because he used them in his announcement for what's his opponents cor constitutional cool. what he calls extraordinary measures where he made that announcements with the journals of the military. i'm the police sitting around the table with him, but then again, the attorneys in the army, if you remember back into the love and they were very loyal to natalie who ruled with an iron fist for, for almost 25 years, refused ultimately to fight for him. and to, to, to fire against the processes. will he try and use them now? there are elements of what's been described in the deep states who have now reared their head back in with a saw you how they operate already. they've taken some sort of a fight in the sense that they've blocked roads, preventing and few presidents protested from taking place will be further that
4:12 pm
maybe they just do not to see read how big this process is going to be. their role will be very indicative and to see how they play now as the school and certainly seems if we're heading with some kind of tipping point one way or another. thanks. thanks so much indeed to michelle to the occupied west by now where a funeral has taken place for one of 5 palestinians killed by israeli forces. yeah, there's the bodies of before others are being held by radio authorities, the troops storms, several villages janine and ramallah earlier in the morning surrounding houses and opening fire. israel says it soldiers rated the villages to rest what they call mass operative. and let's speak to nita able to him who says in the in the occupied a west bank and it's a give us the late to situation was happening. what happened early on sunday that these really forces have raided 5 different villages in the occupied to us bank, including here in the baby. they've killed 5 palestinians. all the,
4:13 pm
all and 3 of them were here and look, maybe we went to see the house where these palestinians were hiding. and we've seen the remains the belongings of those palestinians. of course their bodies were in there because they were, according to witnesses, left to bleed to death fit, then were taken by the israeli forces. these 3 people are from mass and the party has more and 3rd death calling for more resistance against the occupation. and one of them is the head on who has been on the run for weeks israeli forces. i tried to arrest him in his house when they put them, they understood his wife and parts and other members of his family as a way to force him to surrender. of course that this doesn't happen and it ended today with his death now also in jeanene to palestinians were killed and according to the palestinian health ministry, one of them was a 22 year old and the other was a 16 year old. now,
4:14 pm
4 of those bodies that were killed of the 5, they are still with these really forces. one of them, the 22 year old has been laid to rest in genie. and in a funeral that we've also seen his be on. they are crying. she was, they were supposed to get married next month. the father said that he just celebrated his birthday yesterday. so it is a very tense situation here in the occupied with that can many palestinians are saying that this is part of the price and the pain, their enduring under these really occupation needed what's a sense among people there? is that how this could develop so there are spontaneous demonstrations that took place here and there in the occupied west bank and mainly and on the lower tens of fasting. and so out to the street carrying the palestinians, flag crossing and flags calling for more resistance against the occupation. so, but let's not forget that these rates are not something new. they happen almost
4:15 pm
every night where there is really forces read different cities and villages in the occupied to bang they arrest palestinians. but it's worth mentioning, the v is a number of doctors among palestinians has been increasing just since the beginning of this year. more than $65.00 fall seniors were killed in westbank itself, and many of those palestinians were killed in these nightly rates. that thanks about him reporting. well, israel has released a prominent palestinian politician after 2 years in detention of lead, a gera was arrested in 2019, during an overnight raid on her home. she was accused of inciting violence and blowing to a band organisation. in july, she was refused permission to attend the funeral of her daughter. john was released at the selim checkpoint in geneva. if any, more still ahead on this desire, including a river of molten lava, still flowing palmer in the canaries,
4:16 pm
threatening and explosive reaction in the sea. and the 1st in europe, iceland. electra parliament, where a majority of members or women coming up to boxing has a new heavyweight champion, will hear from him. the new page with peter. ah, so demonstrators ensued on her blood to oil pipelines and protests against the peace deal with rebel groups. it's happening in the eastern city of port sudan. the ministry of energy says there are enough all reserves to last up to 10 days. last october, several rebel group signed a piece deal with students, transitional governments, for protests from the budget tribe say the agreement ignores their interest. all students government is warning to disruption could cause huge financial losses as because ports who don is the countries main c port and vital for the economy. one
4:17 pm
of the pipelines brings in crude oil to the capital of cartoon. the other transports oil export from neighboring south sudan, which produces 162000 barrels a day. the oil is brought to port sudan and then shipped to global markets. the cartoon government receives around $25.00 for every barrel of oil sold from south to don. give morgan has more now from call to and all goes back to october, 2020, which is about a year ago when a group of opposition, an armed group, signed a peace agreement with the sudanese government. after months of negotiations. now the b to tribe is one of the main tribe that is counting ethan sedan and they have rejected this piece agreement, saying that it is not representative. and as does not address the root causes of marginalization and of under development in the eastern region. now it's worth noting that there are b to cries or beecher groups that did sign an agreement with the student needs transitional government. but those currently brought blocking the route and
4:18 pm
highways leading to the rest of the state. say that the group that signed an agreement with the transitional government does not represent them. so there's an issue of who exactly represents the tribe right now. the be a group of elders or the council of the beach or elders have loved the main road that leads to the rest the states, as well as the road that leads to the main ports, blocking that port effectively on, on, on saturday they also block the pipelines causing economic destruction of this is something that has caused so much concern that members of the sovereignty council and the executive council here in the transitional government have flown to the to, to the rest, the state capital of port down to try me. go see it with the processors to open the road that needs to the se, but offer to open the airports as well as the ports to make sure that the operation and the economic activities continue to make sure that the country that is suffering from an economic crisis does not suffer further. let's say now from, well he met a boy who's the founder and president of the sudan policy form. he says,
4:19 pm
the anger from the protest is students port is justified. the grievance is just the why. i think in the case of the beginning, it's not only the the which is why it's which is why he is to see that. i think it's the minds of people in the eastern part of the country. i've been meaning for the case and it says each point where they could no longer take agreement in dubai was signed a couple of months ago and some sort of an estimate that was made which gave them some some sort of passion in the business. at least administratively so such and such agreement
4:20 pm
or such arrangement was supposed to be done in the course did you shouldn't conference usually conference was supposed to be it was him to have and now we are seeing some why that's why that was done here. and a most, most important we see some sort of a violation of the constitution and documents. ringback which were supposed to have pushed for the body that was supposed to be for me. they did 3 months after that. and now it has been like 3 years and it hasn't been formulated. and as a result of seeing some sort over part of that, you know, and voting is underway in germany for one of his most competitive parliamentary elections in years with many saying the outcome is too close to go about for the 1st time since 2000 and fife, this women, the going chance langley merkel is not on the ballot. and about 40 percent of the
4:21 pm
60000000 eligible voters who said they just don't know whose choose. well basically the main candidates have close links to merkel. i mean, lashawna is from her party, the christian democrats or cd you, while olaf sholtes is standing for the central f social democrats, e s p d. he is vice chancellor and served as medical finance minister. the issue of climate change is dominated, the campaign and the green party put forth its 1st candidate this year. and i lena bear book. we have to respond to the story. and i will talk to dominic caden berlin, profess to know how much who's in the ccu stronghold. this'll doff so 1st up is bit of a run, puts guy on over and lasha and how he's folded is his ballot. slip his ballot. yeah, he's actually made the headlines and probably probably not in the way he would have wished for on his there's that there's the story behind is that he went to vote
4:22 pm
with his wife in his home town of athens, and he folded incorrectly his ballad. so his choice was caught his, his ballot paper was caught on camera. not surprisingly, he voted for himself. that is an uproar into german media and also on social media is not clear what would happen next. according to the electoral law. according to the electoral commission, while the ballots have to be folded in a way that they are not recognizable once they put in that book. so certainly not the headlines. the center right candidate would have liked to have them this day. now looking a bit of the wider as seen, it appeared that more germans voting in this election than back in 2017, while the total turn out at the time was pretty high, more than 76 percent. where did that at this time?
4:23 pm
where we stand now that there are more people heading to the po, the stations out, for example here in north ryan with which is the as the region where the center right. candidate. i mean last it is, the minister president was 45 percent of voters. so far have cast the ballot compared to the last election at the same time, it's 5 percent more and we are, we're seeing the different degrees of increase across the boards in the various regions of germany. that gives you an indication really of how important this is. this election is for the german people made many aware that the marks the end of the air of and going to america. that what comes next is fill up in the, at this stage. what all right, thanks for that. so let's go from digital to berlin. dominant cane is standing by there and tell me what should we be looking for as a day goes on?
4:24 pm
well one thing to look out for is the relative performance of each party around the country. because clearly there are parts of the country as we've been hearing, where the christian democrats saw half strongholds as it were. electoral strongholds were the same, can be said for the social democrat party. so what we need to be looking out for once the voting has come to an end is quite what has happened in those particular areas. because the points of asset is that germany operates under a mixed member system, it's voting system, each elector. each voter gets the choice of 2 votes. one for a direct be elected candidate for a person who represents 1st specific area, one candidate as it worth. the 2nd vote they have is for a party list, and it's this 2nd vote which the main parties refer to as the, the cancellation of the chancellor vote because that vote is the one that is looked upon nationally. and that's the voice upon which the balance in parliament will be
4:25 pm
made up. so each will look out for that. how will people version, as we've been hearing 60000000 people have the chance to cast their votes? this is the only poll that really matters. yes, there were many polls taken over the course of the last few months, the last few weeks, the last few days that suggest the really close call. but in the end, what matters is how people are voting today. and in so far as the issues which have really mastered clearly climate change was a particularly important issue. but also people need to realize the mackerel effect question that all these voters already cost their balance. and those who are still perhaps weighing up how to vote. the question that facing here is, who replaces angle america, which party do they think is, is going to be able to, to achieve the sort of continuity if that's what they want? or do they want to a break from what, what people have had for the past 16 years. and the final thought is that angle america will not be stepping down today. whatever happens as
4:26 pm
a consequence of this election. whatever coalition forms, no matter what political composition it has, angular america will stay in her position until a new chancellor can be elected. and usually over the course of the last 32 years after every election has been. it's taken many, many weeks of, of arguments and finally agreement to find someone. so this is michael will not be out of the chancellor in this evening or tomorrow. all right, all right. thanks that dominic came in berlin. evacuations are underway as a severe storm targets east and india. jeff has the details and know well where the hello good to see right off the bat. we've had this iconic storm slam into the indian states of o. disha and entre pradesh. we'll press play. see where it goes. it moves toward the west, but right now i want to zoom out, give you a wider look because we do have red weather alerts in play for chat is scar, and taylor gone. we could see upwards of about 200 millimeters of rain here. heavy
