9:01 am
some reports suggest he's under house arrest? ah, so we begin with breaking news out of sudan where the military has arrested several civilian ministers and officials protest leaders are calling on people to take to the streets and resists what they say is a military coup. tensions been rising for weeks between military and civilian faction, sharing power, and a fragile transitional government. well that was supposed to lead for down to elections after a long time the, the omar bashir was pushed from power in 2019 while the military had to change several members of sedan, civilian leadership, including members of the transitional sovereign council, prime minister, abdullah ham docs, whereabouts are known though? local media report say he's under house arrest. is me to advisor pfizer mohammed solid has been arrested. so has mohammed out 40 silly man, he's the spokesman for the southern council and has been vocal in his criticisms of
9:02 am
the military minister of industry, abraham l shape and minister of information that comes a balloon. i've also been placed under arrest. that's according to reports. well, he but morgan joins us live now from cartoon. he but so we're hearing about these arrested. who these people are, what have you been hearing there? well, these are the restriction of telecommunication access, specifically, which is done of internet and researching phone communications here within so that it's very hard to get information on the fact that developing story, what we do, what we do know is that the shut down the bridge is leading to how to move seen, to communicate with them, to open the roads to allow us to move. but they say that this is a ministry operation. they are not letting people get into how to now they also listen from the army. and also from that they shut down the air for preventing life and also how to answer then generally. and we're still waiting for the statement
9:03 am
from the literature with regards to the development. what we can confirm that the books of the sovereignty council aspect of the presidency of the country has been arrested. along cabinets ministers such as the minutes of industry. and the cabinet minister in the prime minister's office were still waiting for more details on the whereabout. 4 i'm doing who has been describing this rift between the military and civilian as the most dangerous crisis. this transitional government is facing. in fact, he said that it was dangerous questions the country is facing. now, while his whereabouts, who mean i know we know that he has held several meetings over the past 48 hours with the us special envoy to the whole of africa to try to mediate and navigate. also this current crisis, political tension between the military and civilian government. all sizes is correct that they are very, very eager, still very determined. and this transition period was election, but the latest development has raised questions on how to move forward again,
9:04 am
because it's usually a reason that's the guiding document that is guiding. this transitional government says that it's the prime ministers who deals with that. it's fine because we do everything today affairs, while the sovereignty counsel is more of over being bought, even right now. and it's our sharing agreement right now. questions as to whether that's confusion, that the region that documents that runs with our, the military and civilian transition government is still about it. and whether they are, the sides are still fighting by the physically, that missouri would be reco several cabinet when if he buys you say, the information minutes we came out early with that short statement saying yes indeed that some arrests were made of officials were still waiting for this press conference from the supreme council, who do you think will be talking on what are they likely to say? well, this book section of this over and it sounds like it has been arrested. so it's likely that they had all the sovereignty, counsels himself further than i've been for the alcohol will be the one to speak or
9:05 am
his friends advisor. but then the issue is what they are going to see. people on the street say that, and you move to take over our any movie dissolve is government any move to try to form a different government or even declare a state of emergency will because it is a coo. and that's because the state of emergency supposed to be declared. 8 rather recommended by the time it is to be full of the prime, it is the to this hovers the council within rubber sounds. and i was just as a religious not to be announced without the joint agreement of the council of ministers and the sovereignty counsel. so people on the streets right now, bringing hires, expressing their anger at the latest. let me say that they consider this a clue. they regard this as a minister over of, of power. but the question is, how far the school goes. only several minutes that have been arrested. you talking about cabinets that is made up of 26 minutes and 14 members of a sovereignty council. only one member of the council has been arrested and for
9:06 am
a minute says from the cabinet have been arrested. so the question is, how far this google is, and who exactly is the military trying to target by arresting specific figures? congressman executive avenue. yeah, and that's an interesting point. you may keep it because some members of the cabinet have been detained, was telling us about why the military has chosen to cherry pick the scene official suit of arrested. when you look at the latest developers over the past week or so, there was a, there is a problem with resistant in front of the presidential palace. 1 over and the executive cabinet is not inclusive or rather the transitional government is not inclusive of everyone's budget. urban lucian. now the forces of freedom and change coalition. that's the coalition that's i think that will improve that against from a residence and receive which is made up of $33.00 or over $63.00 group associations and vertical bars. these that group that for the freedom in change coalition has splinter a subset or subgroup forms within it. and using the mean group of being exclusive
9:07 am
and that's only for political parties are taking over the political affairs of the day to day. 1 and over the country that includes the ssl that said any congress bars, the dual credit union bar the and those 2 members of the votes over 4 of the officials who having a reference to the 2 political parties. so it looks like it's a response to what is seen as. 5 over the political process over the days of the country for the ministry and for the protesters who are thinking that then well more than a week now in front of the presidential, haven't been military take over. he but just a final thought. you know, as you've been telling us throughout the last couple of hours, but the internet is down, it's very difficult to gauge what accurately it's happening on the ground. but the official facebook page of the minutes of information is saying that indeed abdullah hemmed up the prime minister is under house arrest. how much pressure do you think
9:08 am
that putting to bear on him to come out with some kind of statement to say that he supports the military's actions? well, the problem is that has been repeated. you saying that he wants to sing by because additional degree ration that he wants to lead this country to a free and fair election and that people should abide by the constitutional reason, the power of agreement between the military and civilians. the question is, how far is he going to the will of the military? that is something that is not very clear and how, how much of an impact his arrest and the rest of his company will have the current development is also not clear again. and we cation having restricted for the flows relation is greater than was mostly controlled by them in 3 at this point. but. 9 even if bryan is dropping and this is before, does development, people have a thing that even if bryan will dissolve his government, then they will say to the st thing that they do not agree. listening to military
9:09 am
dictate what should happen in the transition of the grievance majority should be having the decision making process should be handling the key decision making process. so even if 5 minutes have agreed to the military will groups who say that there should be the solution of the government, then they will still say to the streets. they say that again, they had, there was, if i was hearing, agree with the constitutional reason that is guiding this transition. this is what these agreement that was signed between the transitional government and the roof that deals with security arrangements and how to do it on groups and the piece process generally. so they say that they are documents that have been agreed by all political parties, all sides, that she got this transition to elections and do a walk with the so any kind of step to basically disregard any point of those documents will be seen by the people on the street. alright, i have a morgan life or the from the sydney's capital card to him. he bye. thank you very much for the update. so how did sedan get to this point?
9:10 am
when in december 2018, thousands of people in the northeast and region of barbara protested against high unemployment poverty and corruption within days those protests but to cities, including the capital cartoon. in april 2019, the military moved president omar bashir from office. after nearly 30 years and power, what 4 months later and after accusations of excessive use of force against protesters, the military agreed to form a civilian lead, transitional government. the new cabinet took office under prime minister abdullah ham dock as part of a 3 year power sharing agreement. let's get more now from mohammed alum enough men . he's a journalist based in cartoon mohammed how it people there in cartoon viewing this military action. i mean, it looks like a qu, it sounds like a qu, so is this a co yes, i think this school it's, it is an additional actually because the military wanted a good news and i'm going to use that one to use the power one to the under pressure that did come in to, to get the nation. so this is we, so we saw over the,
9:11 am
over the bus 2 weeks that the military has mobilize the room and usually people and get them to come in front of the potential balance. actually to say that the different for us, that again is the, the, the, the government of the prime minister. but i just received from some sources that the minister himself, in his how was detention. and his i was, that is now is, and that is used from the military itself to come out to this with the knees and said that he's about, he's support. what has helped me make a decision of dissolving the government. but by all means, this was not going to be mission, neither constitutional or from the people going to streets. so the people in the cities know all over the city now income to other states, other people in the city, it's spooky, murder kids. duncan, again, is the money that it's saying that they will lead to their homes unless they move
9:12 am
they, they do the military and bidding the full civilian government. so we, we, we spend more confrontational, more people to pump the streets, maybe insistence by the 2 sides to, to pressure for the people for the site. yeah. mom and we also had, does reports as well. the doc is indeed under house arrest. you talks about there are reports that the ministry is putting pressure on him to accept to support the military takeover. do you think you'd like it to bow to this pressure that i don't think so because we should that but i'm out below him. self has to be to lead that the can do consideration like that isn't gonna be violated and we see even members to see him and we go from and source. is
9:13 am
that the meeting yesterday by the us? especially boy with the minister on the head of someone comes up on his to be at the home with him at the so the 2 sites have actually stick with their position and it by minutes. but because it is it actually to dissolve the government. so as i said, the military trying to get recognition to, to, to, to be in the my is by all means in order to another, not to get, i mean the government under the goodness mom, let me just jump in there again. so we're just receiving reports now that even a bellingham duck himself is calling on the sydney's people to take to the streets, to defend the revolution peacefully. they've also been civil society groups, a pool for protests and civil disobedience. is this military action then likely to
9:14 am
galvanize to mobilize pro democracy protectors onto the streets? do you think? definitely it's. it was clearly even on the 23rd, just over marsh a few days ago that even the, the, the, the, the, the, the coup actions by the military actually unified or the, brought them because he put this unified all the, all over on the, or the political parties that that the spirit from each other among the 15. so this is indeed, this is the steps by the army will indeed going to unify, did they, they, they, they brought them up. this is what it says on the political parties. this is a professional association, different going on all the people with the code for civilian for civilian mom, and then i get a final thought from you before you go. i mean,
9:15 am
some experts we've been talking to in the last couple of hours about what's happening in sudan. they're saying that, look, this is the end of what they're describing as the democratic experiment in the country. what does this mean then for the promise of elections and also for democracy going forward? do you think? yes, it's actually this moment actually is the crucial moment in the entire history of so that and since the independence in 1956, i mean to divorce. totally did they did they did, they did it. it is the disease of money that goes through the country so, so that is in cross roads in historical moment and crossroads between the military and civilian rule in the country. so. so this is why and this thousands over this is now in the states in order to put an end for the military of the country. i mean, since this independence, so it is sort of the moment if the, if the, if the money that he succeed in,
9:16 am
this is the that means with will into really times if, if the assistant seats going to, to do to, when that means a remarkable change in the sort of saddam will happen in the coming years. all right, to monitor elements, asthma journalists, based in sydney's capital costume. mohammad. thank you very much indeed for sharing your thoughts with us. if you're just joining us here on our job here, let me summarize for you, the breaking news coming out of sedan where the military has arrested several civilian ministers and officials, including the prime minister of della hummed up, who apparently is now under house arrest. the pictures you're seeing in your screen are earlier film coming into us here. we're down to the are of numerous protest has taken to the streets. protest leaders have been calling on them to take the streets and resist what they're saying is now a military coup and tensions and rising for weeks between the military and civilian factions. of this very fragile power sharing, transitional government. and of course, this transitional government was supposed to lead to elections,
9:17 am
but that now looks in serious doubt. so these lectures pictures are coming from the streets of sydney's capital cartoon. ah, sorta bring us some other news. now ethiopians military has carried out more strikes and to grow as a renewed campaign, intensifies against rebels who control most of the region among the sites. it was a facility and the town of ad was being used by the to gripe people's liberation front to make military equipment. that's according to the government. well, fighting has been going on for almost a year, but air strikes and bombardment by it was military increased over the past week, and that's forced the u. n. to cease humanitarian flights to the regional capital nicole, a map brightness from san research. that's a think tank focusing on security in the horn of africa, he says, to grant forces or on the offensive, despite ethiopia as military superiority. on the one hand, if your peer is
9:18 am
a state, a government which had until recently, one of the most powerful militaries on the continent. and it has access to military assistance from allies. it has been purchasing weapons and ammunition, including drones, but also conventional armaments for ground forces. for the last few months. i, while the t d. f for the to grand defense forces is isolated. there's a blockade on the, on the to gray region, which means they don't have re supply. but at the same time, it is the to grant forces that seem to have taken the advantage of the initiative. they have retake and control of most of the gray region, and they have now taken the offensive into neighboring and her regions with the intention of lifting the blockade on to gray and bringing the theo
9:19 am
can federal government to the bargaining table. the areas that have been bomb, the facilities are far behind the lines. they are at best sort of dual use facilities that could be civilian, might have been re purposed for, for military reasons. but in general, in warfare, you're this sort of strategic bombing aiming for targets that really don't have any tactical or immediate value has a very mixed record at best. and in some ways it seems to be galvanizing the to grand defense forces and their supporters. columbus president says the rest of the country's most wanted drug traffickers, the biggest blow against the drug trade this century. there antonio cassandra, who was also known as of tanya, was captured in a remote area close to the border with panama on saturday. he's the lead of columbia's biggest drug cartel. i'll some run pity, as mona,
9:20 am
from butter. the rest of diarrhea and sonya also got better known as alton yell is on the front pages of all the newspapers here in columbia and the talk of the town here in the capital book fair and beyond that because this is a very significant arrest. but you would be hard pressed to find anybody who believes this carrier, the same weight as the death of pablo escobar back in 1993. as the president of columbia suggested when he announced that the capture people here will tell you that at the height of escobar power, those were much scarier times as bomb went off in a major cities across the country. also escobar was a very public figure and a person who became a sort of robin hood for many a poor columbia answer while auto. now, he's definitely a household name here, and he is very powerful,
9:21 am
especially in the north west of the country. but he spent most of this time hiding in the jungle is no one will be regular. it was good news that he was captured and i don't think it's going to change much. i'm just because the programs in the country remain the same or no, no, not, not that area can mean i don't think it will have the same impact as death of public cuba that caused the real change in the country and with in colombian, society. this arrest doesn't feel to say the truth is that it's difficult to know just how much of an impact this will have on the elicit, the drug trade. the experts will tell you that if the demand of cocaine remains the strongest, most likely new leaders will appear that will replace them. what we do know is that the columbia wants to extradite auto near to the united states, where he will face a number of charges, and where many people hope that he will share secrets about both his operations here and his many international connections. was such
9:22 am
a guzman as the director and co found of columbia risk analysis. he says the arrest will have little impact on the drug war. did basic equation of the drug war, which is a very inflexible supply and in elastic demand coming from the united states in europe, another consuming countries suggest the changing, auto nil. awe is going to be quickly replaced by other drug king pins. we're going to continue taking advantage of that basic equation that their supply and there's demand, and people will continue doing cocaine in the pacific coast and in the caribbean coast, where the glendale world for operates. these cartels don't manage the cities, but the rural areas, parts of the woodland. you can, your parts of the wire hook, oak parts of charcoal remain under the control of many of these organizations. now, the government has the full ability to move and to participate in operations in
9:23 am
these areas. but after the government leaves these organizations take control. i think it's an unquestionably a victory for the government and for the authorities that are able to demonstrate that they have the ability to have intelligence assets to have. i'm an, a very closely coordinated operation against the most wanted criminal of the country. so i don't want to undermine the importance of what that means, but strategically the larger picture doesn't suggest that this is a game changer. all. libya's electoral commission says candidate registration for december's elections will begin next month for the 2 rival legislative houses have yet to decide on how the vote will work. a peace deal struck last year means both sides must agree in a political framework before the elections can take place. malik china is in tripoli. he explain more about what's yet to be agreed ahead of the elections. we're just 2 months away from the scheduled nationwide elections in libya,
9:24 am
but there's still some questions that's what kind of election libyans will see. will they be a general election with the parliamentary elections? what we see a parliamentary presidential election simultaneously? those are questions that have yet to be resolved, as the size have yet to agree upon a constitutional framework for those elections to be held. now earlier today, imagine syiaa, the head of the high national electoral commission, said a few things. one, he said the commission will not deviate from its commitment to implement free and fair elections. he says we plan on opening the door for candidates to register and the 2nd half of november. and this is really where the divide happens. who can run for president? what kind of powers does the president have? according to the libyan political agreement, signed in 2015. the high council of state, based in tripoli and the house of representatives, the parliament based and eastern libya,
9:25 am
have to agree upon this framework to hold elections. here and in tripoli, they've set some conditions. they voted on the conditions for who can run for president. that board have to who control if they're in the eastern libya they've allowed, they voted for condition that allow for have to to, to run for president. now whether or not the very side, the high council state and the parliament can agree upon a framework within these couple of weeks of, in order for the election to be held to schedule. we're not really sure. and we're going to have to wait and see what kind of solution the various sides come up with an order for libyans to be able to carry out the vote. william loans, the former us diplomat. he says libyans, tired of the government and holding elections will be a major step forward. the reason we're having election is because the libyan population doesn't want the current government to stay in charge. it wants those parliamentary bodies. he mentioned even less to stay in charge. and one of the ironies here is that the of the responsibilities they're claiming to come up with
9:26 am
the constitutional basis for elections, of the 2015 agreement. neither of them ratify that agreement. and so really what needs to happen is both sides just have to forward forward with elections, which are going to produce as many problems. so, but really, libyans want to turn a page after 6 years of civil war. and a major step forward is the whole election. and the big international conference last week in tripoli was for that reason as well the, the very senior effort ation from france from the u. s. from other countries, pretty much every outside power they deal with libya was there, except the moratti's and the rockies are supporting a political load or a military solution. so there's a lot of reasons why this could fail, but there's a lot of impetus to make it happen. 10 western nations are waiting to see if they're on bachelor's, will be asked to leave turkey after president russia typo on call for the removal of a diplomatic status. it's in response to the u. s. and other western countries issuing
9:27 am
a joint statement coding for the release of the jail business men offline corolla. he's been accused of involvement and failed to in 2016, under financing nationwide protest 3 years earlier. rachel said i was in this town, but he said the dispute could see the impact fees relations with fellow nato members. stanley, this having such a diplomatic spat with them the most prominent country, his wonder is not going to have the turkish economy in a right track. so just this country's majority of them are natal members and turkey is one of the most important nato, a country as well. so if that happens, turkey will literally expel is need to allied ambassadors at germany is number one, turkeys number 13 partner france or sees and not very much prominent trade partner and the u. s. is the largest nato member as well. include in sweden, denmark new zealand and some other companies as well. so this will definitely bring
9:28 am
turkey into a direct direct confrontation to promote the competition with the western camp, which is not going to be a good news for the turkish economy. however, this was in a make him processed trickier recently over syria is meditating and north africa has been having lots of problems with the usa and some other important european companies owned in room. in rome, there will be a g, a g 20 meeting next week. prison, i was expecting to meet president biden there, but if the explosion of this diplomat happened, one of these invoices happens. then there are concerns that this meeting will not happen in room between prison, avalon, and bite, and that could further deteriorate the relations between turkey and the western countries. what i saw aid in touch masses from the european council on foreign relations. she says this could be yoda one strategy to engage more with the west. well, that's a stead too far, even by the standards of this current turkish government. but that's clearly what
9:29 am
our to onset. so now the turkish foreign ministry i think, is trying to find a formula expelling the u. s. master and the german ambassador and all the nordic ambassadors dot would really stand shock waves through not just turkeys. you know, foreign policy establishment, not just get turkey in trouble with its allies, but also the financial markets president out on is obviously a man who has, who wears his emotions on his sleeve when he's angry. he's angry when he is happy, he's happy. but there's also a skyler stick issue, his way of dealing with horrid times, difficult time challenges have always been upping. the ante is a risk taker and he's taking a huge he, i think everyone is aware that he's taking a huge mega risk. but he usually, it gets the ups the ante escalades. i'm hoping that his
9:30 am
counterparts would, you know, sort of take a step back or tone down or offer engagement. and you can find much more on our website all the way to select breaking news out of saddam with the military has arrested several ciboney ministers on officials, including the prime minister al jazeera taco. ah. type a quick check of the headlines here on the al jazeera saddam's information ministry says a number of ministers and officials have been detained by the military, including the foreign minister of dela hm. doc, protest leaders are calling on people to take to the streets to resist what they say is a military coup in well, sounds, military has restricted internet services in the capital. cartoon. bridges and roads have been close to the international airport as reportedly been shut down. auto sales. hi morgan is falling developments from.
