12:02 am
but military taught source is tell al jazeera, the prime minister has been taken back to his residence. the un security council has just finished an emergency meeting. all the crisis will have more on that shortly. but 1st the man who led the crew says he acted to avoid a civil war as he been morgan reports from cancer im general abdel fatter al bowen claims it was a legitimate take over level clinical use. it was not a cool, that's the message from the dance military leader who overthrew the interim government on monday. general abdel for the hon says he took power to help dance transition to democracy and avoid a civil war. but that is what we have experienced a bottleneck of occasions where we had to stand up to the prime minister and the factions who had signed our constitutional document. on these occasions, we had witnessed a great deal of disagreements. it was a struggle for power sharing, distribution of legislative council seats and offices of the executive branch. as
12:03 am
a result, we have witness political fragmentation and it prompted the armed forces to step in at them. to dance interim government was created in 2019 after mass protests led to the overthrow of long time be there on the machine. it was a combination of civil and military leaders as part of a power sharing agreement in response to the demands of protest. analysts say it's not clear how general hon intends to address the many problems south facing for them. with 3 huge challenges at post one was the economy. the 2nd was actually putting in place all the institutions for them are chrissy in the 3rd was consolidating peace with armed groups and it is entirely unclear what proposals general alper hunt house, protecting these problems. in fact, it would appear because he's just digging himself deeper into the whole hundreds of people continue to protest against the power grab despite of violent response by
12:04 am
security forces. on monday, sudan economy has been struggling after years of conflict and uncertainty. but this could make things even worse. the u. s. is re valuating its relationship and has suspended a $700000000.00 assistance package for the now depos transitional government. we firmly reject the assertions that this is within the authority of the military leadership in sudan. from our perspective, these actions are utterly unacceptable. they contravene the constitutional declaration, but more importantly they contravene the aspiration of the sudanese people. general hans as many government institutions will be found in the coming days to steer the country until elections in 2023. let's hear more from him, morgan whose line 1st and caught to him huber at what more are you hearing about the prime minister's whereabouts? the seems like rapidly should a changing situation. the yes,
12:05 am
indeed, early this afternoon, general abdel for the hon said that the prime minister was at his house despite being there against his will. but over the past hours. so we've spoken to military resources who say that he's now taken back to his residence, and that there will be heavy security principle presence around his house for his safety. now it's not clear how much movement he will be able to have and how much freedom he will be given. but what we do know is that from the statements of general have been put on earlier, is that he wants prime minister. i've been to him to be part of his cabinet. he said that he spoke to the prime minister. and he is hoping that in the transitional cabinet that is yet to be formed by general. i've been put the following, the military take over. he wants the prime minister to be part of it, and he wants it to be a government of technocrat, with representation from every state of the 18 states infidel. so right now the, the prime minister of the land is taken back to his residence, heavy militaristic, security, heavy security presence and military presence around his house. and around him with
12:06 am
uneasy between yet to see how much freedom of movement and speech had given him who'd be able to address the media if he'd be able to make calls. and if he would be able to move around and act as a prime minister, despite the fact that the transitional government, the executive council that he was heading is now dissolved. and what sort of impacts is this having on the process? this is likely to mean the process will continue or is they've taken the wind out of the sale of them a little bit. well, protest has have been demanding the release of the prime minister for days. now since they heard the news of security forces at his house, even before they knew that he was being taken to an unknown location on monday morning, now they were also demanding the release of other political figures who have been arrested, including members of the sovereignty council. and members of the executive council protest of been saying that the fact that they were arrested in the 1st place is
12:07 am
a sign violation and a coo and following general abdel. and for hon statement on monday, the said that anything short of a returned to the constitutional declaration and restoring that civil civilian lead transitional government is going to be something that they are not demanding. now it's worth mentioning that while the prime minister was taken back to his residence, more political figures were arrest that his advisor has been arrested over the past hour. there's also news of arrest of food, big party going to my happy who's from the party, a leading figure from the part that she's one of the main opposition group. and which is one of the main parties in the forces of freedom and changed coalition. that was the former ruling coalition when the former, when the transition government was still in place before it was developed on monday . so more news of arrests as the news of a prime minister, the lamb being taken back to his residence as being released. thank you here, but will also joining us from the united nations in new york is kristen salumi,
12:08 am
who's been following developments that where an emergency meeting on sudan is now over? i realized kristen, that it was, of course, a closed door meeting, but we'll send you get of the kind of stamps you and leaders are prepared to take on those behind. this qu, while secretary general, antonio gutierrez, was very quick to condemn the coo and call for the release of prime minister hom dog. the high commissioner for human rights was also very critical of what's been happening on the ground. but when it comes to countries in the security council, generally, we've been hearing expressions of concern, a call for an end to violence, a returned to dialogue. and the process that was established after omar, i was sheer left to office in 2019 of working towards a 2023 election. there seems to be a universal call to get back to that. but there are some differences in nuance in the way council members are talking about the situation. reactions range from
12:09 am
expressions of concern on the parts of countries like china and russia, to more forceful condemnations by the united states in the united kingdom. take a listen to the difference in tone that was set by the ambassador to the united kingdom and the deputy ambassador to russia outside of the council chambers. the u . k condemns the qu outright, and we all condemning and very concerned by the violence. in particular, the recent reports about beatings of women and girls, there was a violence sir before enough to leave the carnage for so this is more delicate than this. i don't think, as i was asked to label, such with asian school or not cool. and that difference in language will have to be overcome if the council is going to take any form of unified action going forward. and in fact,
12:10 am
secretary general guitarist was very critical of the counsel for not being more unified. he called sudan. the latest in a string of coup d'etat is an epidemic of qu datas. and he blamed the council for lack of unity and many cases for emboldening. i countries and, and players and countries to, to take action like this. he called on the council to make a unified statement. those discussions are ongoing, but they're not there yet. of course, on monday we saw the united states, sir, a count, $700000000.00 worth of for financial support of a to sedan, to try and put pressure on the q leaders. want sort of of a leavers. do you think the international community can pull to put the squeeze on those behind this crew? well again, it's very difficult until the council comes together. but in terms of funding, the united nations is actually calling for more funding for sudan. they've got
12:11 am
appeal of millions of dollars that's under funded. they say there's 9000000 people in sudan that need some form of humanitarian assistance in whereas the united states is talking about cutting off funding funding that would go to the government . the united nations is talking about needing more funding to help out what is looking to be an increasing demand for assistance on the part of the people they are given. the strife that the country now finds itself in or i, kristen, thank you very much. was staying with the sudan, lead sir, bringing raga. mccauley. she's a political commentator, an editor of the book series african arguments. thanks for joining us. oh, thank you for. first, the, all you in touch with people in sudan, can you give us a sense of what's going on on the ground, particularly given these developments of the prime minister has now been allowed to return to his residence? well, the situation remains the same. there is an intermittent internet availability,
12:12 am
but otherwise it is a complete blackout. um from what i hear, it's been heavy crackdowns on protesters in the street. so you could hear the sounds of heavy artillery used in the streets of cartoon for sometimes for longer than 10 minutes. and the kind of videos that we've been receiving shows an extreme and use of violence by government forces against on civilians and death toll it on the rise. there are many, many injured and yeah, we do get the impression, of course, that in recent months, at least, if not longer than that of the international community, it started to make inroads and forging you friendships and alliances in suit out. of course, all of this is likely to assess the country back. what's your view on that?
12:13 am
sorry, could you repeat the question? i couldn't hear you say the, the, the current term or in the country is likely to set the country back a given that the international community has started to afford relations with sudan and recent years after years of isolation. yes, absolutely. and to don had paid a heavy price to be admitted into the international community. and the b service of debts. and the payments that sit on is made over the past year. money that doesn't have an inflation is higher than that of lebanon, even yemen. and all of these process sees at started when men to deliver sudan to better situation has been cut off midway in. and as you probably heard, the americans have suspended the aid package that they had promised or 700000000,
12:14 am
and surely or other form of forms of financial and technical assistance will also. so for the same fate, we understand that the military are still though saying that democratic elections will take place in 2023, but clearly about message isn't doing much to com. tensions not, not at all because people don't believe that this will happen. and they also don't want that kind of these kind of elections. i mean, as soon as people have whitney, i mean, lived through these and a democratic games before in the big sheer era in dictatorships and military regimes. we presenting themselves repackaging themselves as a democratic governments while manipulating the ballots. while controlling the controlling the process of and in the voting process is,
12:15 am
is false wage show short then what the constitutional declaration and the 2 year i mean and the revolutionary period that led to it promised them. ok rather macaulay, thank you very much for your inside. the still to come. all the news are very different image from the traditional taliban fighter, the by the 313 or the taliban special forces hit it out in uniforms. north american accessories, also a change in p. r, wanting to move away from the idea of an insurgency and being an official security arm of the state. and stephanie decorated cobble will have that story, coming up. and boeing out of royal life. japan's princess marco marries her common a boyfriend after years of media scrutiny. and it's a 2017 cheating scandal. cast a shadow over the baseball world series as game one is set to begin in houston.
12:16 am
we just days ago before a major climate conference, the u. n. is warning the promises already made to cut emissions aren't enough. even with many country setting new net 0 emissions targets it forecast. cutting greenhouse gases around 7 and a half percent by 2030. but the report says emissions actually need to be current by 55 percent in that time. if there's any hope of sticking to the 1.5 degrees celsius, increase the supposed to stave off the worst effects of climate change. the report says there is a 60 percent chance temperatures will rise by nearly double that $2.00 degrees celsius by the end of the century. and the u. n. was that some nations including brazil, china and india won't cut a tool emitting more greenhouse gases by 2030. then they did 11 years ago. who and
12:17 am
grandison is executive director of the u. an environment program. she says they will hold nations to their promises to cause emissions when at this point, right, countries have given in what are referred to us in dcs. these promissory note, national determined contributions where they said this is what we're stretching our ambition to do. and when we add it all up, it shaves off 7.5 percent of our emissions. if we want to land at $1.00, we need to be much more ambitious. we need to be 7 times more ambitious and reduced by 55 percent. if we want to land at 2 degrees at the end of the century, and honestly we don't, then we need to increase on vision by 4 times and reduced 530 percent our radar, our, our emissions. so there is a to do item here, and the g 20 countries east 20 large economies are responsible for 78 percent of all emissions. so the to do item lies with them. and within the g 20,
12:18 am
obviously the developed countries have a special responsibility to really step up. but actually everyone does all 193 member states of the united nations must step up as best they can. we obviously are going to hold every one to their words. these, these net 0 pledges have not yet been formalized in the submission to the convention for climate change. but when we take these net 0 pledges into account, instead of hitting 2.7 degrees at the end of the century, we had 2.2 degrees. that's still too much, but it shows what is possible. okay, well let's bring it. daria laharerra, who's a founding partner of world fund, an organization that invest in startups using technology to tackle climate change. she joins us from munich in germany. thanks so much for your time. firstly,
12:19 am
it sounds like the organization that you work, for example, how so much more joined up kind of thinking when it comes to approaching climate change to think perhaps the answer as opposed to some of these big promises, big slogans that have been made by countries and companies have recent weeks. well, i think and look, i think we are very good at talking right. but now it's the time to actually act. and there is a venture capital firm that really believes that we have a tool that hands and to enable at outstanding, under the nurse to use technology to, you know, to tackle the climate change fast. and, and that's what we're doing. and i think the only solution to that is to do it together. and as rather i'm on it, i kind of national level because of the global character of the glam change. i mean, as you heard in our introduction, there is quite a gloomy outlook full. what can be achieved it, sir?
12:20 am
the cop summit in glasgow. what are you hoping? what is your organization hoping will be the main takeaway result? well, i think we're really, i really needing, you know, concrete action plans. and as for us, we see ourselves as the, you know, enabler of the ecosystem. and we are taken mester, so we are there to build a platform to enable tech entrepreneurs and to, you know, become market leaders and also to kind of be able at the portfolio level of, of world sign to and cast save at the reduced is c o 2 at, at least 2 giga on and by 2040. and i really hope that and during the corporate 26, there's going to be more concrete, you know, commitments to concrete goals and how we're going to measure them in by when, of course we've heard about sort of concrete goals and concrete commitments, the latest country of course is australia to say that by 2050, it will be
12:21 am
a net 0 country and that's for a country that's highly dependent. house be naughty, depended upon coal. do you think all of this so cool, green washing by companies and countries is good for the climate challenge? well, look, i think it's, it's not like good or bad, right? so what we need today, we need, you know, massive capital which we also have in the industry or in our economy to be massively invested in technology and also nature based solution. right? so i don't think it's only upon the regulators and on the country level, we really have to, you know, we're in alone in europe. we have 2 3rd of leading research institutes. we have 45 percent of all patent applications in the space happening here. we have so much talent, and i think it's what is really important that i kind of both the regulators, but also the private market really commits to investing more capital in this space
12:22 am
. and if you look at the numbers today, only 5 percent of the european men to capital actually flows into an, into the climate tag. in this is what we are aiming to change with the world fund. and also talking about investment particularly form wealthier countries, perhaps here in western europe when it comes to money reaching those countries in the developing world to help them make the transition. do you think enough support is available? cuz as we're hearing from the raw, the gloomy outlook, it looks as if the likes of brazil in india could be producing more carbon over the coming decade. yet look, i think m, there is much to do and it's not enough yet. but as since you mentioned gloomy outlook for the 2nd time already, i think like every day i decide for actually lead to actually believe that we still have tools at hand and to proactively change this current situation. so there is
12:23 am
still at still less ac, more, more and more positive outlook, i think to see ok. daria saw of a shining a. what we hope is a ray of light on the climate crisis. thank you for your time. thank you. this anger in ecuador over plans to increase oil and mining exploration. indigenous communities are also worried about the rising cost of fuel. indigenous groups earlier sued the government to try and hold all developments in the amazon cooling present. guillermo masses efforts, a policy of death. demonstrations of scattered all over the country, closing road blocks and street closures raise a bow, has more from quarter poxy in ecuador, all across a gwyle or indigenous movement. labor unions and others are protesting against the government of the jetta. more last or were in the province of got a back seat where dozens and dozens of people have taken to the streets to protest

12:27 am
many, many lives, thousands of lives could have been set saved. but prism bull sonata, it's like he, it seems as if he doesn't learn the lesson because after this report was, are made public last week. it's being voted now, but it was made public last week. bill sonata went on social media and he continued to, to publish videos, ah, this time what he was relating the vaccine to linking it to aids, saying that our an alleged report to had said that, ah, in the u. k. people that had been, had had 2 doses of the coven, 19 vaccine were, are more likely to catch aids. and this video, what, because it has it's, it's fake. it has been taken down by the social media. but now the senators, what they want is they want the supreme court to ban president bull sonata from using our social media. so this is the new law issue that came up to day in the
