12:02 am
rallies and civil disobedience will in a moment, will have reaction from the united nations. my canter is standing by for that 1st though too, or so, sir, whose incidents capital hard tomb. and they have already been protests in the country in the past few weeks, against the prospect of military rule. how people reacting now to this the lost you have the announcement of the near a sovereign council, her people to the stress or the in, in, in 5 district in and, and her tomb. and there are now at the moment still protest going ad l r. burn street also, harper, a bully and jibber and, and, and battery as well. so, but this protests are quite disconnected as of now, and they're not happening in a big sur, kale. so however, there are the calls at that. ford's for saturday and the opposition out here is
12:03 am
trying to organize mass rallies, demonstrations protests is all set. are they to show that they do not want a military rule in the country, whether it's going to be big or not? that is, that is a question. but through the last 2 weeks now, did the opposition here haven't been been able to manage to organize the mass rallies against admitted to the rule. lad, by general albert han. and that has been one of the main problem with the opposition here because they are being quite fragmented in fight things that are, are, are, are weakening, dave, strength in their sense of, as i said, that's going to be quite clear on saturday whether they're opposition forces particularly led by the are forces or freedom and change are going to be able really to put a pressure coming up from there that, that, that the series on general and will handle not. but as of now, after the, in the did that the new book, someone at the concert has been and those are,
12:04 am
there are 5 small scale protest going across the city for now. and if tiring, the burning the tires and barricade in the roads. now when we look at the makeup of this council, the body that is effectively now in charge of the country, what is general but hon trying to achieve? what image does he want to project in terms of who he has selected? well, the that the, the new sovereignty council is dominated and led by the army. they did the army chief general or of office for that one himself is the head of new sovereignty console. and his previous deputy, mr. committee who is also a, that the leader of the largest paramilitary or group here in sudan, namely at the did the rapid support forces. yes. appointed as his deputy or as a member of the that the new sovereignty council. 5 members from the army and the
12:05 am
fife. from the civilian side, which each of them is, is representing a certain region district, or the region off of sudan. and also there are 3 militia leaders who have signed the job piece agreement in 2020, which was aiming to put an end to the internal fighting among between the army and on groups. so here i can say that the that, that, that this is showing us as a picture that the negotiations between on me and also the prime minister up to lamb luke has failed, have failed so far. and because there is no one from the ousted government, but the trends of the transitional governments that is now but present in this new south, the council, all of their previous members have been replaced by the new people represent in different districts called the fan, middle shoe than a north sudan,
12:06 am
and therefore the only missing region for now is east through that. and he swore this through. that is quite critical because is it host added to this port of sudan, which connects rad, see to hard toom and in this is quite strategic. but what we have learned that there are still negotiations to, to, to, to, for, to appoint and name. there's going to be represent, south sure is true then as well as of now the main complication for mr. and, and his myths did a rule is whether he's going to face the resistance from the states and whether he will be able to get international support. and just a little bit ago that, that, that, that, that special representative of the young general secretary is the un secretary general walker per the says that the army chief is making increasingly difficult to return back to a constitutional order. an african union has suspended its activities, we to them the united state and the world bank, they, they stop the aid,
12:07 am
a process they're, they're considering they adapt to relief as well. so the main or question here is whether he's going to be able to control the streets and getting financial support or not. well, let's pick up on that point about international support with mike can a for now or so center and how to tim un security council has been meeting to discuss the situation and sit on mike hanner is watching this for us and, and they had previously called for return to this joint agreement between military and and civilians. what is the reaction been to this move by general until fatah, the hon. well, the secretary general's office was very click to i respond to this latest action. or the secretary general has issued a series of statements calling a return to the democratic process that transition government that supposed to lead to elections in 2023. and within a very short while of that announcement of the sovereign council being established, a spokesman for the secretary general made this statement. obviously, taking
12:08 am
a look at these developments. oh, i would say they're very concerning. oh, we want to see a return. oh, to the transition as quickly as possible. oh, we want to see the release of from houser, us, of prime minister, ham dark, as well as all other politicians and leaders that have been detained. all the security council held a hastily organized meeting on the ongoing crisis. the council was told by the 2nd general, special representative in sudan that the establishment of this sovereign council greatly complicates the intended return to a transitional process leading to full democracy. there was no formal statement from the security council after its meeting. however, the u. k. ambassador are merged to give
12:09 am
a statement saying that the window for opportunity of getting some form of negotiation of getting dialogue going off. returning to the democratic process. that window is closing very rapidly, so great concern among members of the security council as they continue to weigh what action they'll gain to take next. thank you very much. from the united nations . my can adjoining, as that was silly man, baldo, as a senior policy advisor at the central conversation, is wacked extensively and sit on has been following events, a closely joined us via skype from new york. so tell us why abdul fertile but han is filling, emboldened enough to cement his grip on power after having seized control of the country just a few weeks ago now appointing himself as the head of this newly formed council that will govern the country is sitting alone because he's relying on the water to offend and goes. ready to the game. ready we have seen it in the way of
12:10 am
the dimensions and in the way of model handling of those arrested in attacks. again, this piece will see many using, you know, live munitions in time to suppress is from descent. we have seen it in action, which continues until today of keeping the prime minister under house making his movement, his communications, and his just proceeding of any head or from dietrich would it would proceed. reliance on brutal power and at the same time taking actions to establish a defect to control the steps were used in the hundreds and re appointments of the land is to the former a game to fill in those cases. office that you can, what does that have been these small scale protests in reaction to what has just happened around the capital, hard tune,
12:11 am
but they are planning big demonstrations this weekend. the military has in the past, under estimated the, the level of opposition and resistance from really a broad sway the food, nice society on a, making this miscalculation again. they will give them a evidence of that election. but this with on is people of the 10 to military rule and having done again after 52 years of it's 63 years of independence, ruled by them. you need to do this with them. you don't wanna deal with another military. you are going to oppose this game. they have shown it on the day of the cruise, spontaneous protest broke out on october 30th. do you know, hundreds of thousands of people to close with on demanding returned to us the 1000000 to transition to democracy. now that our calls for must put this on,
12:12 am
you know, on the status on, on the 17th. again, on the 17th of november. and i believe, and that should be sending a strong message to the international community that the population there population is for. dan is rejecting military or the national committee. i suppose i already know this from the scale of protest we've seen in the past few weeks. and it's really in many ways a mass movement in the country. and of course, they've called this return to the transitional arrangement. which obviously one is refused to do. now with more protest planned is how serious is the risk of escalating violence? that is good there because you know the methods used to contain or to the space balance with the same ones used under, on the ship by the same units actually of security agencies. reputable forces. similarly, therefore, news,
12:13 am
army units and pattern militias of the islamist movement deployed to use excessive violence, disproportionate violence and extreme lethal power. ado basically intimidated it produced status and drive them out of the streets. it's just proven totally ineffective. we have seen the people organize and come out again, and by the way, it's not only about decisions. it's also actions of civil disobedience that dig a shape of is thrice, rolling the slice slow down in places where there is a very, you know, fully prepared to decide to you to make it, you know, the governing the country difficult, if not impossible for this will be recorded. wow, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on this with us. thank you for having me. so that for you on this news out from london,
12:14 am
i will call is decision. apologize for replaying the ha or with an apology from south africa is lost, a party era president released shortly after his death after the cool france voice as concern that russia might start pulling the strings in molly. and then later in sport as legend of most a gp is getting ready for the final lack of his career. and he will have that story and more ah, will thousands of migrants and refugees remain trapped on the freezing border between bella luce and poland caught in a deepening war of words that set to escalate. soon as monday, the european union could impose more sanctions on barrows, adding to the list as started out of the government crackdown on descent. it says
12:15 am
migrants are being deliberately moved to the border in protest. an alliance that fly them into the country could be among the individuals and companies that are hit next. and always as president says, he would retaliate by shutting down gas pipelines that cross country from russia in the middle of an existing european supply crisis. heading into the winter, this is or warring, the defense ministers of neighboring lithuania is stony or in lap you say, incidence involving migrants could spill over into the military domain. a dean barber has the latest on this now. ah, now, as the temperature is plunged, they try to keep warm as best they can. men, women, children huddling around fires. these scenes were filled by bella roses, telegraph news agency, near the border with poems bell. ruth says there are more than 2000 refugees and
12:16 am
migrants camped out here with more arriving all the time. on thursday, some of them got to speak to the representative of the united nations refugee agency in bella, luce, sweetwater, or to cut off each of the situation is catrice dropping it, and it will be more catastrophic in the day. i think ya to why therefore, we must be doing something yo, we've started to provide humanitarian aid by the red cross and we'll continue to do that the several days as me, chris, the official said the you and would help any one who wants to return home to do so, but demand for that may well be minimal. poland which release this footage says there are up to 4000 people near the border and more than 10000 more across belarus . yousif atalla fled syria. he's now relatively safe in poland. he was driven towards the border by bella, russian police, but he says he was also beaten border a goddess gun or followed us. and then they catch us the thick and he uses we took and he's like this in that way,
12:17 am
lose and below salt earth. just the side hickok mean, the faith with her his foot. so i 1st of all, to couple minutes the use as many has been uring people from countries in the middle east and encouraging them to cross into poland. lithuania, to create chaos. german chancellor, angular merkel has asked russian president vladimir putin to press the bell a russian leader to stop what she called the instrumentalists zation of migrants. and as the german parliament hosted bella, russian opposition leaders, svetlana taken of sky, there was no sign of tensions easing. the earl appears when you want her to give us and so on. again, look at the european union will expand and tighten it sanctions against. look a shank as well. jim, this is what we'll decide that our foreign ministers meeting in brussels on monday . those people and companies actively involved in human trafficking will be further sanctioned. no matter where on the globe being vice but president lucas shank as
12:18 am
confident he's got moscow's backing, not least because to nuclear, capable russian planes practice bombing runs in belarus on thursday. and now he's raised the prospect of disrupting russian gas supplies that passed through belarus, saying we're hitting europe and they still threatened to shut the border on us. what if we caught natural gas supplies? of course, this political standoff does nothing to help the desperate families at the border. at least 7 people have died here in recent months. there were real fears that number could grow. that in baba al jazeera, jon hauser is the in term director of the wider europe program. european council formulations to joins us now from london. and of course there is a, a broader context to all of this in terms of poland, relationship with the you. but when we look at these images of refugees stranded at that, poland better russian border in freezing when to conditions that are set to get was
12:19 am
how worrying is it that the, the rhetoric an approach to this is one, it's being framed in terms of an act of aggression bipolar as opposed to a humanitarian crisis. it is worrying. i mean on one hand, the pores government is right, trimming it this way because it's quite an exceptional crisis. it's not the same type of crisis as we saw in 2015. it's a, it's an engineered aggression that weaponized as migrants. however, it is also a very serious humanitarian crisis, and the polish government has certainly not addressed that. and it's, it's bound to get worse. and we don't know exactly what is happening on the border . that is a big problem, and as the situation gets worse, we, we need to get more information on the more oversights that we don't have because there is this special zone along the border. and this is,
12:20 am
you know what the poach government has, has introduced in order to keep the eyes away from the region as the situation potentially deteriorates, very fast. it's very difficult because of that void of information and extremely warring it thank you. mentioning doctors and g o workers, journalists, all, they cannot access this area to establish what is going on. can i ask what you have been hearing, what information you have? so we do have some information from journalists who managed to get close to the it, to the zone. we have also information from migrants who, who managed to escape it, who managed to pass. and then they, they, they took talk to journalists and we also, you know, have information from the other side of the border. and we have information from the publisher polish guards at the situation is dramatic. and we, you know, we, we have seen the footage of thousands of people at the border of,
12:21 am
of them being pushed there and back. and we hear of death. but we, we don't know the extent of it. and, and the problem that i see and is that, you know, we depend on very fragmented bits of information after all, and especially that on the other side, we have journalists that can access or can access the area on the bill or russian side. but these are not independent journalists in their a vast majority. they serve the bell russian, and also russian propaganda so, so that the information we get is surely not good enough. and what is happened to break is sort of deadlock and tension between the polish government and the european union as been that intensifying battle, as he pointed out over the rule of law in poland. if poland is not going to ask the
12:22 am
eve for help and accept some sorts of european involvement, trying levy what's happened if just to provide some sort of assistance to the people who have gathered their yes. so this is still difficult for, for the both parties to talk and the e u has somewhat ignored it. unfortunately for months now, the situation is escalating now and they, you is doing much more of this week, which is very welcome. and you know, it's, it's, it, it's a big problem that poland is not asking for help actively and has insisted for months that it's managing on its own. and that you cannot, cannot impose it's help hunt poland because then you hear the right wing voices in poland saying that brussels has attacked our institutions. they say in poland, and now they want to take over the border. and so, so you do get these kind of are kinds of arguments in poland. so brussels needs to
12:23 am
be able to, to, to not to present itself as a helpful ally and not as somebody who wants to impose its solutions. and at the same time, europe has a very, it has a lot of interest in helping there because it is a your border that you cannot allow to have money higher prices there and also, and yet, migrant. they, you know, if they do get into poland, they, most of them, it seems, they don't want to stay in poland. they want to go, go further into they use. so it's not, it's not just a polish problem, but it's, it's a, no, it's an issue for all of you to solve. and, but it's, you know, it's very important for you in poland to work together. but if poland wants to, as you say, it's a you countries will feel the impact of this as well. john, jose,
12:24 am
thank you very much. thank you. the me with just a day of us climate summit left to go. that is actually generally told delegates they need to pick up the pace and make agreements. and turning the terrorist described efforts to keep up a warming to one and a half degrees above pre industrial levels as being on life. the port said the talks have not met any of the us goals, but insisted that there is still hope till the last moment. we lane on a get the temperature rise, trek well above 2 degrees celsius. so net seattle edge is required. rapid suspend the emissions cup these beckett and i welcome to recognition of this spec in yesterday's us, china cooperation agreement that i can see that an important step in the right direction. but the problem is ring hollow when the flow for the seal receives the
12:25 am
aliens in subsidies as matter by the i m app or when companies are building gold plans or when kind of uneasy without surprise, by starting markets and invest the decisions every country, every city every company, every financial institution, must radically care and verifiably, reduce that emissions, and the kind of not portfolios stopping now. well, andrew simmons is falling on the 4th summit in glasgow. antonio gutierrez said that we were on course as a, as a, as a will community to need 45 percent reduction in emissions by 2030. but despite all the pledges all the pledges given here and in coalitions of the willing elsewhere with cuts on deforestation,
12:26 am
cuts on emissions, other initiatives and reduction of coal power. all of that would mean that by the end of this decade, emissions would still be climbing. so really there was no chance of staying in touch with that 1.5 celsius safety cap for global warming set the paris accords in 2015. so he went on from there to, to make this warning, the amounts, the else was hearing glasgow or encouraging. but they are far from enough. the emissions gap remains a devastating threat. he went on to talk about the finance and up taishan gap, also to represent a glaring injustice for the developing world. are now pakistan's foreign minister, same international community, mr. void repeating past mistakes and perceived positive engagement with afghanistan . sharma would cray. she has been meeting senior diplomats from the us, china,
