why didn't after last month failed to attempt by forces loyal to receive both sides, blame each other for lo reforms. a worsening economic crisis, poverty and corruption. many people are angry, but some sort of writing the news of the military takeover. a coalition of political parties has been teaching assistant in front of the presidential palace for more than a week, urging the military to take control if member say some of those who participated in the 2018 uprising against the government have not been listened to. the military have been key to creating the conditions for this discord in security and certainly in congress to given that the bar hon as you know, in many ways, since we had a state in this hybrid transitional arrangement. and those who have been part of this movement to push the government out are themselves key members of government. so any criticism of government performance is very much self criticism. i think the

ah, this is al jazeera quick remind all the top stories. this are a state of emergency is no enforcing. see dawn after the transitional government that was meant usher and democracy was dissolved. the health ministry says 7 protest as have been killed during the protests against the military takeover. the bible ministration says it will suspend $700000000.00 of aids to see don in response to the coo egypt says joint cutter, france, and the un envoy to sit on and colon for restraint. and people in haiti of hell to general strikes, processed against the worsening security situation. still no words on the face of

the american and canadian missionaries who were kidnapped by a gang. over a week ago. i will let said take he straight sir, a top story again. that's a qu in see don, we can speak now with cameron hudson. he was a year special envoys. he sit on and was also director of african affairs. the national security council joined us by skype, washington, d. c. it's good to have you with us at the sir. at the u. s. i says it will most suspend $700000000.00 worth of age until a directed lead. well, so the civilian leadership is, is restored. does the u. s. expect this action to, to force the sudanese murphy to reverse position to, to reverse this can well, i think that washington has few actions left on your call that our special envoy was in cartoon for the last 3 days,

giving very explicit warnings to the military leadership in sudan of what the consequences would be if they pressed ahead with a military coup. they have done that and, and so now washington is in the position of either making good on those warnings now or, or not, in which case it loses its own credibility. but at the same time, by imposing these costs on cartoon, it is losing the leverage that it did, it might have going forward. so washington is also in a bit of a corner right now trying to push the military into a direction where it could re engage with the civilian leadership and try to put this transition on back on track. i think it's gonna struggle to do that. however, as well, who has got to pay these costs than what, what kind of impacts do you think suspending this year said will have on the seat on given that the majority of it is foods aids and humanitarian aid? well i think that's exactly right. i mean, when you look at the $700000000.00,

when you break it down, roughly $400000000.00 of that was going to the family support plan, which is giving $5.00 a month to the poorest of the poor inside sudan to show that there is some kind of democracy dividend coming from civilian rule. so i suspect that they will be reticent to suspend that assistance. another 100 plus $1000000.00 is going to wheat a to so that so that we can feed to knees and give them subsidized bread. right? so once again, we don't want to hurt the average to me civilian. $30000000.00 of that roughly is going to democracy programming in sudan, which of course, we don't also want to suspend that at this moment. so there's very actually little money that we want to suspend. most of the funding that we have been going a has been going into sudan has not been going to the military. it has not been going to the security services or to prop up, ah, the regime, it's been going to the, the people most in need in sudan. and so suspending that now is really going to

hurt the most vulnerable parts of the population. what would the do you think that perhaps explains why the, the c, jenny's military of just decided to go ahead with this qu, if the threats inversion co, most from the united states isn't really going to hurt that the military leaders a tall. i mean, is there anything that the united states can do the sanctions on the military or, or, or lou is the u. s. basically without any options to tolan, completely impotence in this situation? well, i would never say that the u. s. is impotent, right? i think that, you know, of course their sanctions are a possibility. i don't think they've been prepared so that those take time to, to prepare. there has been discussion about creating your sanctions program that would be targeted against individuals who are undermining or preventing the civilian transition. so these would not be the same sort of sanctions that plagued sudan for 30 years under the bitchy regime. these would be very targeted against

individuals in the military who are trying to subvert the democratic process in sudan. but again, those take time to put into place. i think the options at washington has right now are the, the diplomatic tools. ah, the, obviously the financial leverage things like suspending the debt relief negotiations that are going on. that would, that would bring sudan debt really. that's a very powerful tool at washington, still has to use in all of this. but i think the bottom line here is that our envoy was there just yesterday morning of the consequences. the military took the decision anyway, in my analysis that suggest one of 2 things. one that the military was so threatened by the power of civilian rule in the country, that there was nothing that was going to undermine their effort to maintain power or number 2 that they have received guarantees from outside of the country. perhaps

the gulf states perhaps neighboring egypt to um, to step in and to fill the gap that the cut off from us and european assistance is going to create that they felt confident that they could replace whatever money that they would be losing with new money promised from outside actors that we don't know, but something has happened to change the calculus of the military to think that they can, whether the worst that washington has to throw at them. that's a fascinating analysis. so hopefully it will find that in the coming hours and days, but for now, cameron hudson, great to get your thoughts. thank you for joining us on al jazeera. thank now in just a few hours south, east asian leaders will hold their annual meeting with its most general was excluded for refusing to take steps to end violence in this country. scott hiler reports me and mars. don't delete minute lie, inaugurate new military ships that was just days before his neighbouring south east

asian nations excluded him from a regional summit. this week it's viewed as a potential watershed moment for the block of 10 nations known as aussie on, as it's very rare for it to take such a strong stance against one of its own middle life stage a coup in february after the opposition won a landslide, election victory led by on songs to cheat. he called the election flawed and has since led a crack down, killing hundreds of people and jailing thousands. some see, this is a foothold for the block to take a more robust than unified positions in the future, including on issues outside the region. the implications of the consequences of this inviting and mine getting through that and prevailing if you will. and i think that will billable woven appetite, more bold enough, yon for take on the more equally more important issues of the day. it will be in future instances where asi and its members can afford to be neutral. and those

instances will involve large economic and military powers within the region, and the super powers, the united states and china. while austria and members have been divided about china's territorial claims in the south china sea, recent military posturing around the korean peninsula, anti wan has prompted a steep increase intention and military build up that has made its way south, many military within austin and are now intent on buying the latest weapon technology and expanding their capabilities like submarines and unmanned surveillance. but purchasing many of these weapons comes with strings attached training and installation by military advisors usually mean involving a country outside the region. and concerns over lack of transparency within the 10 members about the new technology and weapons. often members are moving forward quite get some of these without any agreement on how the issues like trust me, trust can be handle how the issues of dynamics between different people. pablo supplying

different supplies to different countries can be an impact for relations among members. but many of the few nations are still struggling with the pandemic. as new waves continue to break out, and vaccine rates remain low. so governments might face public resistance if they start spending billions of dollars on weapons and not on restarting economies. and reopening borders got either al jazeera bank of nigeria has loans the digital currency only month, century bar banks and financial institutions from dealing with crypto currencies. names the in 9 round, the currency will operate as an electronic wallets decrease reports and i form of food. jen vetter after 3 would delay nigeria, the digital currency is now legal tender. i did launch. president obama bahati says the will i showing opportunities for banks?

good publishers are already publishing all the content they can, they can do. but bad actors have an incentive to play the algorithm. facebook executives know this, says francis, how can, but the reason they haven't changed the algorithm is money. they think user engagement would decline. and with it add revenues. i think there is a view inside the company that safety is a cost, a cost center. it's not a hunter, which i think it's very short term thinking. us congress and regulators are investigating facebook. part of the deadly storming of the u. s. capital, an independent report commissioned by facebook, said it failed to stop the platform being used to incite ethnic violence in me and mar. so miss how god believes as a real world cost in lives, i have no doubt that the trap like the events for scene around the world, things like me on more. if those are the opening chapters because engagement be shrinking, does 2 things. one, a prior, prioritize and amplifies divisive polarized.
