routed fears about the erosion of basic rights in particular for women and girls, despite assurances from the taliban, and about to return to cruel punishments. for certain crimes, everybody will be safe, nobody's kid will be kidnapped again for ransom. now together, they're feeling thy way forward into their new reality. ah, this is al jazeera ah. just 1500 hours at g m t. hello, i'm come all santa maria, welcome to the news hour on al jazeera. a crackdown on protests as in sudan leaves at least 2 people dead as activists announce a new sit in and cartoon. we have to make sure that they are getting the assistance
6:01 pm
they need and that so the fighting ceases. and the, the talking starts. that's the u. a secretary of state backing regional efforts to end the fighting in ethiopia. also in the news, the united nations as iran is stepping up its nuclear program. and by lighting the 2015 nuclear deal. and we're bring your live update from the bowl. poland beller. bruce border a day after yvonne and cracked down on migrants and refugees. and he spoke more doubts about the feature of a roger federer as tennis korea, the 4th year old says injury will keep him out of action until the middle of next year. ah. without an incident where protest latest, say at least 2 people have been killed during another massive rally against military rule. he opposition groups and
6:02 pm
called for people to come out and demonstrate turning out. despite the killing of 6 people on sunday protests to say they will not be intimidated. they have now announced a one week sit in now. all so this is strategic, the military of locked down several areas and closed off bridges. you've got the l mc limited bridge, the undermanned bridge, and the touchy bridge. the aim of all this to start process is moving south into central cartoon to join the main protests. there. it is a little after 5 pm in cartoon to correspondence to cover this one for his hip, morgan and alco to him. bureau be with you shortly. here i want to go down to the straits. first of all, wrestle soda with a good number of people gathered there behind ye wrestle? well, that's right. yeah. now we end to put a district for capital hard to. and people have started to gather here around 1 pm, a local time, which is the usual practice for this thought that however,
6:03 pm
this protest today is taking place on a working. there usually is a process based on the, on the weekends. and the brought doesn't say that there's a good the reason that they decided to now conduct brought us on to working. this is to mark, this is the most affordable army to move the country. so that's why he did this bullet this way. but there are several other places, 7. hi there. this is that those steel horse been this protest of security that forces on interfering people. there are 2 if i didn't get to you guys on people as shooting and it did these 1st them right. so we've lost our link, unfortunately, there with a wrestle soda, but we have got hip morgan as i say, in our cartoon studio to keep us up to date that you are hipaa, sorry, but of a technical problem. bad to bring us up to date, i guess with the overall picture. and as we saw the military cutting off areas strategically to try to keep protesters from gathering
6:04 pm
yes indeed. and the military has resorted to another tactic to keep protest from gathering in bed as the shutting down of phone lines, making calls with them heart of tomb and to any part of for them inside the country is difficult. so people with cellphones and with landlines can only receive calls from outside the country. but sudanese cannot communicate with each other via phone or text messages internet which was only available via satellite and via fiber cables that has also been cut the shut down by the authorities. and the reason presumably is because during the past process on saturday, when processes were dispersed from one location, they were able to communicate online and via text messages with each other to mobilize in other locations. which made it very hard for the military to disperse them. as it looked like they wanted to, so even before the process started, the phone lines and internet connections, the very few that was available in around the country that has been cut off. now, despite mediation efforts to end this crisis, political crisis,
6:05 pm
which is also having economic impacts on the country, there is yet to be any concrete results general add them for the hall. hon has formed a sovereignty council just over a week ago, and that has angered protesters further. so people are saying that it looks like the military is trying to dig its. he'll then and try to proceed with forming a cabinet, a civilian cabinet that people do not want. they want to see the return of prime minister abdullah hancock who still under house arrest and general at them for their humble hon. met with the u. s. assistant secretary for african affairs on monday and he said that he does want to see prime minister, the lamb duck returned again. so it looks like a change of position from his initial stands, where he said that he wants to see a new prime minister and a new cabinet. but it looks like, despite all the talks we're seeing from diplomats from the you and from the us. and from the army here, there is still no results to get this country out of the political deadlock. it currently is an okay, thank you. hey, ben morgan, in our cartoon bureau, let's go back to wrestle surgery on the streets of culture,
6:06 pm
im dresser. while we're in a different now in a 1 pm local time. so despite the security measures taken by the army blocking the bridge, blocking the main roads to prevent people from traveling, they managed to get in. now a people are attending this process and then on the report a 2 people have been killed and several others injured, particularly in on dorm on so far is relatively, at least as of now. but we do not know what the security forces are going to have an agency here as well. so there's the protesters here. how barricaded the laws. they are ferdinand tires and they are demanding the military to start back. so i'm
6:07 pm
now i'm joined by a today because i am in the final position a so these on november 13th, the protesters have with me a more than a 100 people for a job or not. and whether the casualty is going to go out. so and also the professors here said that they are going to start to in protest for one day sitting growth
6:08 pm
that cools escalate the passion here because in 2019, when that didn't protest started on june. 3rd, the military has interfered the protective seat in protest and they are killed. move one more than 100. 20 people saw the concern on grove in here all over the state. they're not going to leave it on this. a civilian government is in charge and that is ursula soda in cartoon bringing up to date with what the protesters themselves are saying. joining us from miami now is abdul hardly get shy of. he's the sudanese attorney who actually wrote a piece for al jazeera dot com on november 9th. i think it was there and you were talking about 3 possible ways in which sit and could go either status quo remains i . e military rule, or going back to the split civilian military rule or 3rd option. people actually
6:09 pm
start talking and come up with some sort of concession so that everyone get something. you want to revise that at all. now because as i look at these pictures on the streets is hard to say any one talking absolutely are 1st for thank you for having me come while on the on, on just english. yeah, i think when these dinner is very valid, you know, for 5 days to go or when we could go. now i don't think this is tickets right now. i mean, what we're looking at is a, i'm in a tree that i didn't want to to continue with the, with the cool all efforts and mediation, or foster nurse to cool. i don't seem to bear in a fruit anytime soon. so i guess what we have right now is 2 positions and position by the military, that what they have done is basically to correct and fix the, the off for the, for the resolution. i'm out of the position that says, you know, we shouldn't have any doubt. i'll go negotiation with the, with the military because of the have done. so i guess the are in december right now, and we've got to remember as well,
6:10 pm
was talking and negotiating would be the ideal way forward. i mean, military coups are just not that by nature, military takeovers. i mean that the, the cases and the clues in the title, isn't it, it is about force. and i guess the military doesn't want to show any sign of weakness. would they view negotiating as a weakness? no, no, not at all. i mean, it's a look at, 1st of all, it's remarkable, this remarkable to see the studies for testing. i meant total communications, black out in the country, there is no phone, no internet. you have to do an international phone call to get a hold of anyone and should on right now. and i think this shows the resilience and passion of the student and their ability to, to greatly organize these fun to restrictions. and all of these are on track down a secret crown, but i guess, yeah, i mean it's, it's the military. when you do who you are there to stay, it's not. it's not like a classical insider. cool. i'm not sure what we have right now is a good that it's here to stay. and the chances for the finish to go the, the,
6:11 pm
the and are willing and more than before to touch it. and the, the, the, the, they came to realize that the relationship with the military was not tried in the 1st place. this takes us back to square 0, not even one round at the sound of this a broadcast. i don't if you heard about actually talked about the protest leaders. it's sort of a generic sort of phrase on trying to understand a bit more about the leadership of the protest movement. how strong is it, how cohesive is it? because in any situation like that, there needs to be some sort of strong, a fig, ahead or leadership to, to keep people corral together. i mean, so i think we need to differentiate between 2 to 2 groups. here, there are state. so then these professional association, along with the neighborhood resistance committees, and these are basically the, the, the, the, are not part of the political, they're not affiliated politically with any political parties are organizing the part of the street. and then you have the efficacy, which is the freedom,
6:12 pm
the freedom to freedom of freedom, a change. so basically these are the forces we signed with the military. the constitution was been part of the government has been part of the government has been possibly submitted to counselor. now there's 2 different views here. now the, the, the, the civilians and those who are protesting right now, do think that they shouldn't be in inhibitions, that the government to no dialogue and those schools are massive and you need to listen to them. so i don't think in a political the can be you know, which without getting them on board. another thing to bear in mind whether we were discussing how organized or organized. but most of those people who are more stop to, to any, any, any media out that they have been arrested. so it's quite risky out there now to, to, to try to organize and try to come up with any, any i would say, roadmap again. they've come out the have a roadmap, they have a process, they are organized and i think they are called to make it so it would take time for
6:13 pm
the the, the have leadership to, to negotiate or even to push the agenda forward. though. yeah, it has to be join us from my mom and state. thank you so much for your time. really appreciate it. thank you. thank you for having me. thank you so much. now the u. s . secretary state antony blinkin says sudan can regain support from the international community. if the military listen to the demands of the protests. he said that during a visit to nairobi, discussing a number of regional issues at lincoln held talks of kenya's president. high on the agenda was the conflicts and ethiopia as well were fighting between the government and rebels from the northern to guy region has escalated in recent weeks, spied air started blinking. biden's man, of course, is calling for dialogue to bring about an immediate cease fire. national to what we seen is the way the conflict is ah progressed, ah,
6:14 pm
more and more parts of the country have become involved and, or are in jeopardy with their citizens. are bearing the bearing the consequences and whether that's in and t gray over the last year. more recently in a mara? ah, and moving further south toward toward addis. the people who suffer are the people and we have to make sure that they are getting the assistance they need and that the fighting ceases. and the, the talking starts a corresponding, catherine. so i was at that news conference in nairobi, his mo, from her secretary, blinkin, met the president, our idea today, and they discussed or know what more can be done, this f, what's going on. and if you, if you're being led by the african union, a former nigerian president, unless a good bassinger has been talking to both sides of the conflict publicly at least.
6:15 pm
and they say that they have no appetite for an outright conflict. but beyond that, oh, you're not seeing any commitments being made for a ceasefire or for talk. so i did ask our secretary lincoln, that beyond this diplomatic talk that we're hearing, what else can be done to put pressure on this to groups to sign a foresees fire or talks. both sides are still being accused of human rights abuses the un. and if your peers are human rights commission, i would say that up to a 1000 to grands, have been rounded up and detained by security forces a declaration of the state of emergency. so the secretary of lincoln think he's very worried about that. saying that the us is monitoring and taking fact and there will make a deliberations when the time is right. but beyond this diplomatic talk that we've been hearing, we don't seem to have any clear action on what more can be done to this group to
6:16 pm
put pressure on them to at least agree to a ceasefire. more from journalists, samuel got to show in addis ababa. now, how was all this going to go down? do you think all these other voices, the likes of blinkin, and unless you're gonna bassinger as well, all with their own ideas, similar ideas. it has to be said, but i mean, what actual progress can they might there has been little reaction from the suburbs . the prime minister tweeted a few hours ago calling on a few bands telling his followers close to 1000000 people saying each ethiopian must play a role. busy in pushing buck and you burst seen the distorted narration of ethiopia, there doesn't seem to be any interest from both sides. the job side hasn't tested the t p and left as it turns for organization. it's like asking the u. s. administration to have a talk with the taliban in afghanistan perhaps. but from the upside they insist
6:17 pm
that they're there. they're coming to decide whether they're looking for a change of government, maybe a transition government or some sort. but the prime minister in his government is the one that was elected recently, and he is the leader and the people have spoken. but that's comes the prime minister i'll be met is continue to take phone calls from trinity nation. was we sent the from the canadian prime minister just then to dope banking in port his friendship and the swedish prime minister. and also the kenyan president, kenyatta was in the sub about looking at starting a dialogue or having a role for him to really kick start a piece process between the children government and the t p left period. that what happens in new york that will really never a nation, including kenya, which is considering closing down its orders. but again, this conflict is going
6:18 pm
a big thing. so people that know not just to drive, but the number as far as so many people heading to the trouble and looking for some kind of safety net. and this is really pushing this conflict be gotten a year ago, much into humanitarian does not. it has been so far, sam, you get to try with the update from addis ababa. thank you, samuel. thank you. coming up 18 minutes past this news. our here is what is a had the most polluted city in the world. a quality in la horace. it crisis levels also a once in a century storm hips, vancouver, leaving thousands of people stranded and and sport stain canada are actually secure and memorable when over mexico in world qualifying and you will have that little bit ah,
6:19 pm
well, the head of the united nations nuclear watchdog says iran has boosted its stock pile of highly enriched uranium. ralphio grossi is expected to visit toronto next mondays. visit had several times this year. in his latest report by the agency highlighted, lack of access to monitor nuclear activities. the you and what shock estimates. iran grew at stock palm more than 5000 percent from just 48 kilograms to almost 2 and a half 1000 kilograms, and did it in just 3 months. roughly grossi says, restoring the agencies monitoring capabilities is essential for a return to the 2015 nuclear deal. to run removed surveillance cameras as cameras. after the test, a carriage nuclear site came under attack early this year. the report also opened questions about the origin of uranium trace is found in several former sites. lots to talk about without a virus is the director of the run project at the international crisis group in washington, dc for us. ali, 1st of all, i think we need to understand this enrichment how i mean it will do, we know,
6:20 pm
do you know how this level of enrichment has happened in vol? they sang just 3 months. well, you know, we had a good guess the game. iran was saying, playing here was a game of blankenship in order to increase their leverage ahead of the resumption of negotiations to restore to 2015 nuclear deal. on the 29th of november in vienna . it was clear that they were trying to install more centrifuges in rich more uranium, and therefore get back to the table with a much stronger hand in order to drive a much stronger bargain basically to their advantage. and now the i, a report basically confirms that they have accumulated much more left you say a stronger hand. i mean, is it, is it strength or is it almost a threat and saying, hey, look, we've got all this uranium and we can keep making it. i just wonder how that will sit with the negotiating parties in vienna. look, it is,
6:21 pm
it is both at the same time, it's more leverage and it's also more threatening. but the more iran's nuclear program verges towards the capability of producing nuclear weapons. the more international community would be concerned and the running calculus is that the more they would be willing to make concessions that they were reluctant to make to the previous iranian government. the ronnie administration during the 6th round of talks that took place earlier this year in vienna. well, it is, the idea is that iran can still ratchet up its nuclear program, much more and much faster than the west can reciprocate by rationing up sanctions. because the trumpet, ministration, basically maxed out us as leverage by sanctioning almost anything that moves in or so you mentioned there, 2 players, ronnie and trump, who no longer are, are on the scene any more. so tell us how you think things change. i will change now with the different administrations and particularly the iranian administration
6:22 pm
. we already know, broadly where the, by the ministration is going look, the race administration came to office with the view that its predecessor was weak and was too desperate to restore to deal, which was its key foreign policy achievement. and was willing to accept the deal that was not fundamentally in iran, the inference. and so they took 5 months. dawn came to us from the negotiation in order to focus on basically escalating their nuclear program significantly, as evidenced by the i a report and also ratchet down the level of transparency and monitoring of their new care program. in order to get back to the table and drive a harder bargain. now the vitamin ministration is, i don't think in a position that it would be able to surrender to iranian demand, it control flexibility. but that has to be reciprocated with iranian flexibility. so i'm afraid the iranian approach is going to result in
6:23 pm
a different attic deadlock which could result in the unraveling of the agreement. and now with the nuclear advancements that iran has made the risk of military confrontation are also much higher. because israel is increasingly concerned about iran's nuclear program and so is the united states. so this is not a sustainable situation in which you can have a diplomatic deadlock ever changing. playing field isn't alley vice from international cross group. thank you. appreciate that. my pleasure. thank belarus. has set up shelters for some of the migrants and refugees stuck on the border with poland. thousands had been living in makeshift camps. this is a day now after polish police use tear gas and stun grenades to stop them from crossing into the european union. i report is from us, i beg, lining up to get some sustenance, al jazeera of them these refugees, and by the russian troops in the britsky area near the polish border. bella ruth has in recent days,
6:24 pm
stepped up attempts to show its treating people humanely. on tuesday night, it provided shelter for hundreds of men, women and children in this warehouse logically relatable. the commentary on this video comes from brother, russian state media. many of them have now returned to the forest. these pictures from wednesday film by poland, interior ministry apparently shall migrants leaving a makeshift camp as by the russian forces. look on some a carrying logs. the only thing that's kept them warm at night, overnight, there were fresh attempts to break through the razor wire and reach polished territory. i was earlier. polish forces had used water cannon across the border at a group of migrants. polish border forces said they were attacked with stones polish police said one officer was taken to hospital with the head injury and the polish side to what provision there is has come from volunteers. on tuesday, the human rights commissioner of the council of europe visited one migrant aid
6:25 pm
center near the border. it is absolutely unacceptable what bella rose is doing and how the people are manipulated. but at the same time, i think we need to step aside and, and think you know what is happening at the european border. why are these people left in limbo and what can be done in order to stop this extremely dangerous situation? meanwhile, polish forces of parked water cannon opposite a new makeshift camp at the border. with no sign, the political standoff or the misery. 4000 stuck here ending soon as i beg. i'll missouri, poland. more with jona hull, who's in cuz nature for us on poland, side of the border at with fellow ruzen and generous. anything changed for those 2000 people stuck at the border will doctors has fallen in the last half hour or so on another long and very,
6:26 pm
very difficult day for those people up to half of them. you know, women and children, several 100. well, it made their way, as i said, was saying that to a make shift warehouse that was provided to them on tuesday, very hastily made up this warehouse. he won't provide them much protection from the cold, some bedding in there, a bit of food we understand. but the rest of them have gone back to the camp of the woods where they've spent most of the last 2 weeks. extreme cold conditions there. and you know, there's nowhere else for them to go. they can't go forward into the european union with, which is what they most want to do, which is of course, what they came here to do is they look out of roles above why, what they see ponies, border guards and right police quite willing to use force to keep them back, as of course they did on tuesday with tear gas and water canada con. via please stay in ballard for any length of time. belarus wouldn't want them to. they are quite simply poems in a game, and it's a, it is a game that there is no way of put properly understanding the consequences for
6:27 pm
there are diplomatic ties between the 2 sides. there was a meeting between anglo merkel and mister lucca shan't go on tuesday. we don't know the outcome of it. there are sanctions being prepared against better russian assets and interests. so mr. lucas has said he will retaliate further and on wednesday we know that an oil pipeline, or at least a portion of an oil pipeline leading to the us through betters was cut off ostensibly for shadowed maintenance. and, you know, i made all of that come out as a sort of much wider geopolitical context that is worrying not place the sort of tacit approval of russia for what is going on here. but at the same time, russia preparing potentially to open a 2nd front against another weak point for the european union, with a large military build up on the east border of ukraine and massive humanitarian consequences as well. joiner at a time when i mean we can see from you that jeff looks so cold as well.
6:28 pm
its bit bitterly cold. 12 people have died in the last couple of weeks here. at least most of them from exposure. you and agencies have in the last 24 hours or so been granted some token access on the batteries inside. they've warned that number could easily go up. the temperatures plumbing us in the fall july and the european commission president has made 700000 euros. she says around a $1000000.00 available to provide for, you know, basic supplies, medical supplies, hygiene supplies, clothing and so on. not quite sure how that would get to them. she says the european union will do more, but he, mr. lucas shameka has got to stop luring people here in the meantime, stop putting lives at risk. and on that point on thursday, a potential line of escape does open up, at least for some people to repair ration, flight, to iraq. we understand the 200 of those 2000 people have signed up to be on it. you know, there may be other flights, but remember, a lot of these people have given up everything, perhaps sold up everything in order to make this journey. they won't necessarily have anything to go back to. john hollis, on the poland,
6:29 pm
bella responded with that update. thank you, jonah. coming up to you on this news, our germany sees another surgeon covered 19 infections. the highest number reported . actually since the pandemic began and m sports air is set to be a new champion at the final big event with the women's tennis season are and he will be here with the listing. ah, now cody has been flooding through iran and he come to the warmish waters of the gulf and you tend to generate thunderstorms. that's the forecast assist a around the water could be affecting the emirates might even get into doha, but i do not think so. i'll take you to friday and show the same thing, get dangerously close. it's difficult to forecast was exactly the shout who
6:30 pm
happened, but it's a big weekend come. yes, the grown pre we can for doha. i have forecast sunshine, sunshine, sunshine. there you go. that's the official forecast to for the practice days qualifies and the race it self with the winds. optically strong. in fact that the general picture winds all that strong throughout the middle east, levant, we are changing fortunes further west. you'll notice with the hint of showers in the mediterranean, and that's coming out of what's been very active rather further west. so some chows in turkey, sometimes with a levant, and they could become quite popular. tommy get 2 fridays, i will view coda. and of course, it will feel wet as aksoy africa. we've been concentrating not on this side of the rift valley, but on the other side. and we still shall the heaviest rains in d. r congo, increasing they in knolls, and, and gouter as well. south of that day time shares are quite big and poky because temperatures are high in places. for example, in cavaloni ah,
