that re headquarters, we didn't think we had a little bit of gunfire coming from there as well. but again, 20 of people out there protesting have been morgan. if you're still with me, i was pointing out that anger we've seen is 3 years worth of banga. obviously, 3 years worth of just frustration for people looking at basic things like foods and inflation and all sorts of problems which have not been addressed by anyone, whoever's in charge. yes indeed. now, for a lot of people, the fact that the prices of thread has increased dramatically from when the revolution 1st thought that the fact that inflation as with the 3 figures from 2 figures when the revolution that has caused a lot of frustration, many of them had prior to this political turmoil calling on the government to act the fact that these have been lifted as well as a political tricity, raising its prizes many finding life difficult to ours. back
11:31 am
for me has been regarded as choice coming from the government. but when you look at the 24th of october pacifically, that's just the days after the front of the presidential palace happens. when you hear from you listen to the chance that you've had menu to say that yes, we do understand the situation is dire. we do understand that there have been short coming from the government economics. progress has been the traditional refund that was constantly fairly progress. that's something we heard from people, but they see that they understand that as much as they are frustrated. they know when the military take charge will be near impossible to achieve. again, this could be the reason why hundreds of people are ready to place on the military in front of the printer that you're seeing. to try to get to the center. i'll be capital, have too many open in the sand. the government over the past 2 years have been best
11:32 am
. but then again, this is the transition process waiting for the political election. the judicial, the constitution, we can move on to all of the major demand, the economy and the phone. but they've been asked before. they want to make it better than these are not the point that the government should be focusing on, especially because they understand as, as for the people who are speaking to the not all economic companies or even on the assets are actually in government. so again, i mean, you look at those were changing and the fact that there has to be economy talk with . and now you have the military erected members of the transitional government. despite that, people taking the quality of what people see needs to happen and how they regard the furniture and how they still believe that the transitional government civilian
11:33 am
side to take charge of how with had said, hey, but morgan for now. thank you. we are a little bit past half past the hour on al jazeera, continuing our live coverage of this military takeover in sudan live pictures while on both sides of the screen from the sudanese capital concert. the left hand side of the screen is the 2 t bridge which linked to the island with the main downtown part of top to i asked a shot, i guess, to the last a shot, you would actually be saying things like embassies, the central bank, ah, universities in the like there, so it's a crucial part of the city. the bridges have been shut down by the military. this one though very much used by protest as we saw a large number of them. there are early before running on the bridge right hand side of your screen. let's have a little listen up here. i'm sure you don't show you ah
11:34 am
. 6 that the live stream we're getting in from cartoon fire mobile and it shows you just a small sample of the huge number of people if come out on to the streets, protesting through the city and outside the military headquarters as well after the military arrested a number of high ranking officials, ministers, advisors, and that includes the prime minister of del honda who's apparently been taken to a, an undisclosed location because he wouldn't release the statements which should supported the military take over. and this is the result. this is the result. chaos on the streets of the cartoon. something that's developed in the last few hours, there was a fail to attempt last week, but really this has been going on for years. it's been building up and to understand what's happening now. it is important to look at some of the key events of the recent years. you go back to december of 2018 when thousands of people in
11:35 am
the northeast in region of barbara protested against. and we were just talking to him about this high unemployment poverty corruption. within days those protests had spread to other cities including the capital, hard tune. in april of 2019 a key moment when the military removed, then president omar bashir from off as he had been in power for nearly 30 years. 4 months later, and after accusations of uses violence against protests, as the military agreed and said they would form a civilian, lead, transitional government. the new cabinet took office in september under prime minister of dela hm, doc, as part of a 3 year power sharing agreement. it now appears that his time as leader of that government has come to an end or is very much under threat. so let's get a little reaction. hollard fair, who we spoke to earlier insights strategy partners, which is a public affairs firm in seattle, but one which specializes in government relations. speaking to us from catherine pollute said, these latest developments really, to have all the hallmarks of
11:36 am
a full military coup. at the closing of the bridge is the and the closing down of telecom added to complete an internet blackout. you can't make phone calls, you can send text estimates messages quite clearly the rest of key government figures including members of the sovereign council and also the minister for cabinets. if i had it on my to indicate very much it. this is a qu, in any case, any contravention of the constitutional declaration of the constitutional document of 2019, and pushed by the military to try and maneuver. second, to william active is considered to by the constitutional declaration, which is why we're seeing coach start to come out in the streets of cartoon. as of this morning, i think that the military was surprised by to the extent to which there was m t military sentiments within the country and extend to its people across the country . not just in call to came out against military rule by comparison to the crowd
11:37 am
seen massive crowds on 21st. that sort of sponsored or broken, orchestrated protest a week earlier. so much, few people probably in the 1000, but dwindle, been to only probably a 100 or even fewer. the interesting thing about the media angle is that in the past 48 hours, we've seen this today. news agency building stormed by ministry supported last night. we heard the ministry of information was also stormed, and it's quite clear that the ministry wants to get ahead of this narrative. probably because the things that they does still have some civilian support. but again, that support is not by any means. the majority of sidney people based on the number of protest. so that was some of the reaction we had earlier from a few hours ago when this was all starting to unfold and has now very much escalated that she a number of people. i keep talking about it, but there's
11:38 am
a lot coming out on to the streets. the live pictures from a live stream. we are getting here. ah, burning tires in the background. you see the black smoke as well. people up there at years of what they say is corruption, of, of high prices of poverty and of a military count. so a military leadership which has not addressed those issues and which has now in the middle of the night, effectively, la, taken out the civilian side of that transitional leadership, which it was in a joint, military and civilian leadership. these are the live pictures we get coming through from mobile sources, state television. no way near this. we've heard that state television has been taken over by the military and we are waiting to hear from ah, general abdel fata albert han, who is the head of saddam's sovereign counsel. that has been flight up for a few hours now, but still no statement forthcoming. and nothing from the prime minister. he was
11:39 am
taken to an unknown location because he wouldn't support what the military is doing . all the development out a sedan we're keeping across them al jazeera, dot com as well. if you want to keep up with the lights from our online team there, and we'll be back with sudan as soon as there are more develop. ah, there's other news which we want to get to it for now, though ethiopians military, which carried out more air strikes and to guy on sunday camping a week of attacks against rebels who controlled most of the region among the sites hit was a facility in the town of ad while which the government says as a military unit used by the t p. a layer of the ticket. people's liberation front findings been going on for almost a year and bombardment and days for the you in to stop humanitarian flights into the regional capital. mikella is not riding from the 130. i think tank which focuses on security in the horn of africa to,

11:41 am
the offensive into neighboring alpha. and i'm hotter regions with the intention of lifting the blockade on to gray and bringing the yoke in federal government to the bargaining table. the areas that have been bombed the facilities are far behind the front lines. they are at best sort of dual use facilities that could be civilian, might have been re purpose for. ringback for military reasons, but in general in warfare, you know, this sort of strategic bombing aiming for targets that really don't have any tactical or immediate value has as a very mixed record at best. and in some ways it seems to be galvanizing the 2 grand defense forces and their supporters. i sold claimed responsibility for saturdays, boston, the uganda capital. at least one person died and 7 others were injured in the

11:47 am
rare services across town. now count on added security measures like barbed wire fences and even metal detectors to screen for danger. this street in downtown puerto prince leads to a church and on sunday mornings security guards block off the exits using motor vehicles and they keep a close watch on every one who crosses the ropes. the efforts are to prevent kidnappers from driving up to the doors of the church and abducting the pastor in just the 1st 8 months of the year, close to 800 people were kidnapped in the country. and the u. n. is pointing to another alarming trend. a dramatic increase in the number of women and children being targeted, getting the links can take place at any given time of the day or the night and anywhere it sometimes takes place a whole industry that's whole or even churches. so there is no safe place for children and more, and we really see that criminal guys are using children increasingly as

presidents as the rest of the countries most want to drug trafficker is the biggest blow against the drug trade this century. data antonio was saga, also goes by the name of tanya, was captured in a remote area close to the board with panama on saturday. he is the leader of columbia's largest drug cartel and asunder rugby at a with more now from bug a char. the rest of dido and sonya also got better known as ot and yell is on the front pages of all the newspapers here in columbia and the talk of the town here in the capital booker 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
11:50 am
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 alton. yeah, he's definitely a household name here. and he is very powerful, especially in the north west of the country. but he spent most of his 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 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 pub last 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,
11:51 am
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. it has been, would you believe 7 years since eric's gonna us at the woods? i can't breathe as he was dying under the choke hold of a new york police officer gun, his case led to a national movement against police violence in the united states. and in the coming out as a rat, judicial inquiry will begin looking into how his death was handled. gabriel is under reports from new york. eric gardener was unarmed, and by all accounts minding his own business. when new york police officers accused him of selling loose cigarettes outside a convenience store, daniel pen to leo, one of the officers on seen, put gardener in a cho, cold, and prohibited under department use of force guidelines. and that led to the death
11:52 am
of the 46 year old father of 6, a grand jury decision not to charge pen to leo sparked nationwide protests, gardeners dying words. i can't breathe, became a national rallying cry against police brutality. 5 years later, pennsylvania was fired from the new york police department, and the city settled a wrongful death claim, with gardener's family for several $1000000.00. but 7 years on gardener's mother, gwen carr says there is still work to be done. there is no justice for eric, eric is gone, but we still need closure. and closure would look like to me. if all those offices who was involved in my lungs, deaf that day, stant accountable. and there was transparency and which we know all of that was try and tried to be hitting a judge granted when cars request to hold
11:53 am
a judicial inquiry into her son's death. such inquiries are very rare. the last time one was held here in new york was over a 100 years ago, and it's not a trial. there will not be a jury, and nobody will be found guilty or innocent when it's over. but it's a way for lawyers to question powerful people. they dealt with gardeners, death, and a way to get a public record of who knew what when and why certain decisions were made. in a setback to the gardener family, the judge decided new york mayor bill de blasio does not have to testify saying he can instead submit a written statement despite being directly named in the inquiry. one of the critics say that reasoning undermines the very point of what the inquiries meant to address transparency. how do we whole are public leaders accountable if they're allowed to
11:54 am
just submit statements, right? when you're named on a case and you're not being called to be active, participating, vocal and under sworn oh, it's a pass. the city fought against. holding the inquiry, arguing it was unnecessary. a spokesperson for the cities, lawyers declined to request for an interview. gabrielle is ando al jazeera new york, the husband of a u. k. charity work detained in iran is gone on hunger strike after a court ruled. she has to return to prison for another year. richard wright equipped to set up camp outside the foreign office in london. my name is gary radcliff was arrested in town in 2016 and convicted of plotting to overthrow re runs. governance new challenges are filed against her just as she completed her 5 year sentence. that were from the front office congress or once for 2 years on it felt like there was nothing threatening the prison anytime soon. so
11:55 am
we're here just to make the point. government changes approach. i've had some government pushing for them to do some different. i'm willing to say 10 western nations are waiting to see if their ambassador will be asked to leave turkey after present, reject typo to one, declared them persona non grata. this was in response to the us and other western countries issuing a, a joint statement. calling for the release of the jail businessman osman cabella. he's been accused of involvement in a failed coo in 2016 and a financing nationwide protest. 3 years earlier. result, soda has more from istanbul, definitely dears, having such a diplomatic spad 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,
11:56 am
turkey will literally expel, is need to allied ambassadors at germany is number one, turkeys number one, tre, pardon, or france, or sees another very much prominent trade partner. and the u. s. is the largest nieto member as well, including sweden, denmark, new zealand, and some other companies as well. so this will definitely bring 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 american process trickier recently over syria. yes, 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 the 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
11:57 am
happen in room between prison out of one and bite. and that could further deteriorate the relations between turkey and the western countries. coming up to the top of the hour, just a reminder of the current situation in sudan, where are the prime minister and other top ministers and advisors have been arrested. the military is in the process of a takeover and the people are out on the streets. these are the pictures we've seen from the tutti bridge, in downtown cartoon from about full 50 minutes ago, or so. large numbers of people that most bridges in and out of coaching city have been controlled now by the military. there is so much anc, though, against this military and they've been people protesting outside the military headquarters have listen ah yeah. gun shots being fired out there. we had reports of that earlier times being

12:00 pm
