4:03 pm
fulfill the people's wishes or dreams for justice and let's expand on not with the rest to sorry. tool is the one who interviewed. i've been for duffy, but hon. he's joining us from cartoon resorts. so what did the general have to say about the ongoing political talks with civilian politicians? well, yesterday when i met him, i ask about the political consultations and the talks that are going on in the country. so he said, there are talks with the political parties, including including after le, handled that i was the prime minister and said that he is are hoping to form a government within the next 24 hours. and however, the mr. how do it as well yesterday has met the, represent the representatives of death, political parties, and he told them that he's going to accept the decision and he's willing to follow
4:04 pm
the decision of the people in the streets here. so i asked general hand whether he is insisting on on how due to come back as a prime minister. he says that he will be happy to see him as a prime minister. but there are the talks with some other figures as well and report that we have heard that there are the other some of the other candidates political figures also have be invited to have to include in common interest. maybe to take that position because some sources close to hum duke said that actually hum duke is as, as, as not ready to or not keen to accept to be the prime minister that is declared by a, the leader of the military take over. so here in that sense, i think that behind is having a be plan to continue without hom duke as well. that's highly a possible burg here. the critical issue is that without hom, duke,
4:05 pm
whether the military takeover will get the consensus of the fleet and the international community or not. that is the big question to be answered. yeah. and on the issue of the international community, what did you say about whether he had been in consultation with those in the international community prior to the military takeover as well as auster? well, i asked that question to him, and i was under the surprise because said that even prior to the middle did the military take or where he had the consultations with their original governments and the in some of the international organizations, including the you. and he says that even though they were agreed on the steps taken, they didn't provide any encouragement in to out the did that the military, our takeover. and i asked him specifically the, the usa of the world bank has suspended the age to sudan. and the african union suspended his activities withstood, and france is considering of cancellation off did the that the relieves whether
4:06 pm
he's concerned or not to says that these are the procedural or the measures that are taken. but he is not concerned at all that there's measures are going to be followed by the sanction. so he was quite comfortable when he'd come to that. and he says that even after the military take over this consultation with the original countries and the international with institutions such as a such as you and, and the prom and come phrase the u. r. c, u k. france and germany also how he can a place here. and when i ask him about the at the elections of 2023 at why not now, but wait him 2 years more. he said that they do not have enough funds and we need a consensus. so it is not that the right time to go that i to with that decision. so here, as i said, there are 2 are permanent factors that are going to be determined and what, how did the future of sudan are going to be? and particularly mister will hands on carrier. so the streets and the international
4:07 pm
community without after law. hm. 2 of the of the prime minister after ham look, it seems very difficult for mr. albert hand to get the support from the street or to is them down and to get the at the to restore the international relations and get the support of the into nash. oh, our community, because a so far the, you and the u. s. c. and your opinion have been quite firm on the, on the demand. asking mr. i will have to immediately return back to the civilian governors. had a by mister, after le hum duke. okay, thank you so much rest. so sorry, for that update from cartoon. well, you can watch your full interview with don general on the on, on talk to al jazeera in about 90 minutes time will. earlier we spoke on the phone with some i heard back from the, to the nice professionals association. she says that the military cannot be trusted
4:08 pm
to facilitate a smooth transition to a civilian lead government. well, if he says he will not be part of the future government, he might well step out of the picture right now. what's keeping him from stepping out of the picture? we've heard such promises from previous dictators with such promises in different contexts around the world. for us, these promises are dieting. we were asking for a complete civilian government. this is what we were asking for democratic transition since december 2018 since he stepped in the fixture in april 2019. there has been a market survey that has been numerous that there has been complete address throughout with the military in the picture. so what type of added value is he added to the picture, but in fact, he's complicating the scene even want the presence of the army in the political life. incidence throughout independence has been complicating the picture. the
4:09 pm
president of the army right now in the rush is complicating the picture. this is not the 1st time that's who is attempt that we can. so there's a 3rd the do not to get another attempt that they're trying to take over the, the entire power into the military time. they are not to be thrusted anymore. what we are looking for now is, is this is now high time. this partnership is over, it has collapsed totally, and it's time for us now to move on to a full civilian 6 palestinian rights groups recently designated as quote, terrorist organizations by israel say at least 3 of their activists had their phone tact. so they say the spyware will, pegasus was used on their phones for more than a year. 3 other activists also say they were hacked. the rights groups are demanding and international investigation into the hacking. let's good morning this with harry false, that he's joining us from law. so what more are the organizations the policy and organization thing about this?
4:10 pm
well yes, well for weeks they've been rejecting these accusations that they have been acting as some kind of a front or funnelling money or another way supporting the terry designated group the popular front of the brace of palestine designated that way by israel and western countries. but they say that this is not the case. and despite that, and despite international pushback against this moved by israel, israel is continued on that path. and on sunday, these really military also designated these groups in the same way, may meaning that they could enact various measures in the occupied west bank arrests, confiscation of money shutting down offices and the like. now what they're saying is that at around the same time as they discovered that they were being monitored and hacked in this way, or at least some of them that was when this designation was out of the blue made against them. so they're questioning the link in the timing of all this,
4:11 pm
and they're also pointing out the huge privacy concerns around it. the pegasus software, or spyware, invades a phone in an undertaking way, can download, all sorts of apps can give you chapter and verse on exactly how that phone is being used, and indeed operate the camera and microphone of that phone. so one of the 3 people who allow themselves to be named was talking about this news conference earlier and saying this was a huge invasion of the personal privacy and security of his family, his friends, and the people who deals with on a day to day basis. area so far the story about n s o n s o spy, we're focused on it's used by foreign governments, but this time it seems to be very different. that's right. and so isn't israeli company, but it has so far, explicitly only sold this by way to foreign governments under the explicit license of these really ministry of defense. and under those licenses,
4:12 pm
the spyware is not supposed to be used on israeli or palestinian phones. well, 2 of the phones in question, he will palestinian numbers. 4 of them were, is ready numbers that could have been all sorts of is ready citizens who were being contacted and in other way involved with the people at the heart of this. so, if this has been used in israel, that is a major change and another step in the sort of cascade of scandals that we've seen about and as so in the use of the spyware, by various authoritarian regimes around the world, targeting journalists and politicians and activists. we have spoken as much as we can to the israeli. so the various state bodies so far the response we've got is from the israeli military say they don't use pegasus peg and a so itself has also been quoted in the meters responding to this. saying that it can't confirm or deny the government agencies to whom it sells that software. ok,
4:13 pm
thank you so much. harry fosset reporting from the occupied west bank once more had on the out. there are including i think will be here. i just don't think we'll look at taking action on raising sea levels. we look at the cities battling to keep the water at bay. whatever uninformed rebel shine at the mexican rom free details coming up later. the sour ah. the 1st china ruling communist party is holding an important leadership meeting in beijing. the talks will lay the groundwork for the 2022 congress where president she gym, paying will be seeking a 3rd term. katrina, you reports from beijing. about 400 of china's most powerful officials are meeting this week in beijing. the secret of gathering known as the plenum is the most important in the country's political calendar and laid the groundwork for the
4:14 pm
coming year. but this week's event is especially significant. a historical resolution is due to be unveiled. this will determine the direction of chinese politics, both philosophical and practical for years to come. this integration between philosophy, history, and politics. i think that makes it unique. and this i think, is really focusing global attention on this new paradigm. this new way of governing that could lead to real breakthroughs for humanity. only 3 official historical resolutions have been announced since the chinese communist party was founded in 945 party found at mount. don't use the 1st to claim his position as china's absolute leader, as well as point out the missteps of early communist revolutionaries. in 1981 resolution announced under dunk helping criticize the problems of the cultural revolution and justified economic and industrial reforms. this year,
4:15 pm
the party will mock the achievements of the past 100 years. it will focus on strengthening the communist party as the only political force in china and consolidating she's position as the ultimate peoples leader. what she's position in the party is now unchallenged. this is thanks to the constant purchase during the past 9 years, anti corruption campaigns, an increasing purchase of civil society popular opinion and the internet. in 2018 being scrapped, presidential term limits allowing she to rule for life earlier this year. as the communist party celebrated a century in rule, he declared the achievement of a moderately prosperous society. state media talented to success in following through on promises to make china wealthy and powerful presidency is expected to use this year's plenum, to elevate himself above previous liter. it's likely that his version of recent
4:16 pm
history will be accepted as the official history of the party. and you will further strengthen his power that the critics say, this great danger. generally the fall we have seen a resurgence of author, retirees, and one that combines the soviet etiology, nazi germany and even previous japanese and italian models, along with china's own tradition with this means that in phase of criticism from all over the world, keeping it is very difficult for it to react flexibility to react with a real open this and then they seclusion, i believe it is the greatest the threat to the chinese communist system. now the 40 gathering will also include discussions on who will place on the top leaders, including the premier starting next year, katrina, you all to 0 aging. they were nose warning, the number of people on the edge of famine has risen to 45000000 around the world.

they will rush in the leftovers for dinner. my phone so you know what i what i'm sure what our 11 for god must have heard that mr. i used to bring a lot of food to the house before the taliban. but now there is no work and it is pushing into even more of a crisis. i'm. i'm due to pay $22.00 for rent, but i still owe for last month. and the children's health is getting weaker day by day. they are not learn 95 percent of people in afghanistan and not consuming enough food, and more than half about 22000000 people and nourished some so severely they may not make it through the winter. this is what ria zola is trying to avoid. al jazeera has visited multiple hospitals and recent month was swelling with more children being treated from the nutrition agency say it's the worst food crisis in afghanistan. since records began, they say children are already starving to death. we are looking at 5000000 children,

4:21 pm
taken over freezing all international resources. and that's billions of dollars. that normally would be going to teachers and health care workers. and that trickles down, trickles down to the 2 men and women who may be cleaning holes are out in the streets and, and i talked to doesn't as dozens of the men and women who just heartbroken, they don't know what they're going to do. i mean, you are already hearing stories of, of women mother's cell in one child the fee, the other children in hopes that, that child can be taken care of by another family. and it hasn't gotten as bad as this going to yet yet. and the next 6 months are going to be heretic unless c international community truly unfreezes those assets. so they can pay the teachers . because now students really aren't in school. it's not a girl boy thing as a money thing. and so we're going to need and this is just what's remarkable for us to reach to $23000000.00 people at 50 percent rations now is going to cost $230000000.00 a month
