best of it, they're trying to frighten the people to be there to go somewhere else. but the truth is that it got nowhere else to go. the way you miss it online. cat at here with me, sandra, goblin, on al jazeera. aah! in an exclusive interview, the deputy head of sedans, routing council, says last month's military takeover was the best available option ah, the thousands return to sudan streets denouncing protest her deaths and the new power sharing deal. ah, hello welcome, i'm pete. adobe. you're watching al jazeera alive from our headquarters here in doha, also coming up. pretty sciences say

a newly identified cubic 19 variant in southern africa is the most concerning. they've seen satellite pictures obtained by alger 0 show how the u. e is providing military support to the ethiopian army. and a vigil is held for those who die trying to cross the english channel a day after almost 30 refugees and migrant struct. ah ah, top story, the deputy head of sedans governing council has told al jazeera but last month's military takeover was the quotes. best option to stop what was a spiraling crisis. general mohammed hummed on des. globe says they discussed it with all parties including be detained. prime minister, who he says was on board abdullah ham dog has since been reinstated by the generals and a new power sharing deal comes in hitting it over here or what happened on october

25th was the ultimate of a long process. since that changes started and so dan, during that process, many discussions were made. and many initiatives were proposed by the various parties, the prime minister himself proposed to initiate. and during our meetings in the transition and part of the council or the sovereignty council, with the cabinet of ministers, we made maximum effort. but we couldn't reach a breakthrough. at that point, we were left with 3 option is the best of which was the move we had taken. who was it was completely agreeable to the prime minister himself of the work. we did not make such a move on our own. they said with another he said with who will come and be the prime minister was in agreement with us as to the decision we had adopted. however, for him with the move should be endorsed by the freedom unchanged coalitions. as they said, we were left with 3 scenario freedom and chase coalition,

endorsing the dissolution of the government, which was next to impossible. the 2nd was the move we had taken, and the 3rd was the collapse of our country. we adopted the best option available, as we made the right decision from our perspective, and at the same time prevented the collab. johnny's life from washington is david shin, formerly the us ambassador to ethiopia and kina fossil. he's now a professor of international affairs, george washington davis. you welcome to al jazeera, mister ambassador, was what we've seen unfolding in this country. the best option. well, clearly it was the best option for the military. and for the generals, in fact, it may have been the only real estate option. well, the protests were going very much against them, remains to be seen. whether this is going to be the best option for the people in

the straight for the civilian elements. i'm sure the society could be a useful 1st step, but there's nothing more than that. it's only a 1st out a sign as mr. ham dock is concerned. he was detained, he is now apparently working with the military. is he still proactively a prime minister, or is he a puppet? well, that's of course a big question. and i think there are issues news from the street who would argue. ready there are some who wouldn't say this was the only option he had. his argument was that he wanted to stop the killing. you know, this was one way to do it and i think that is accurate. again, it's a question of where does this go from here? are there generals really serious about you have enough power or at least some power over time? and if so,

one cannot rule out the possibility of my work. but if they're not willing to give up any power, then this is not going to work, is this is essentially a soft qu well, in fact, the qu already took place. so what we have now is sort of picking up the pieces after the crew. and clearly the generals are trying to make the best of a difficult situation for themselves. the real issue is, are, are they willing to give up? not only political power, but a certain amount of economic power. they have significant interest in the mining sector into them, for example, that goes right to the military. and at some point that has to become part of the civilian government. how do they do that? how do they take that next step and what kind of pressure will come to bear on them to make sure that they at least appear as if they are taking that next step?

while the pressure will continue to come from 2 places, the same places that has been coming from in recent months, the most important one is the st. alternately, the broadcasters on the street i think, are going to determine the outcome of the situation in sudan. the other pressure is from the international community, collective life. well, not just united states, but the entire international community. and this also means the role of egypt, saudi arabia, and the united arab emirates. what are, what are they going to do? they have a, a history for being partial. so the generals are, they're going to continue that or they're going to take a position that is perhaps more aligned with civilian government at some point in the future. is it your sense, david chin that these comments from mr. deck low, make the situation on the ground,

less combustible. i mean, he clearly wants it to be less combustible, but from what you're saying, that doesn't necessarily follow. now, it doesn't necessarily follow, it could follow. but it all depends upon the sincerity of the generals and their willingness truly, to eventually turn power over $2000000.00 government. and if they're willing to do that guy, there could be a good outcome to all of this. but if this is nothing more than a ruse, in order to keep particularly the international community quiet or sort of out of their hair for the time being, and then it's not going to solve anything. david should good to talk to you. thank you very much and you can watch the full interview with general dec low on our program. talked to 0 that since 730 gmc friday morning. and then after that 1st transmission via the website al jazeera dot com, thousands. the sudanese have been back out on the streets,

renewing their demand for a full civilian government. the security forces create some of them with 2 gas crowds also charged messages to on the at least $41.00 people killed in the military crack down the follow, the takeover offices deny firing. live ammunition directly at the protest is the prime minister. abdullah hum dog has now ordered an investigation. british sciences thought describing a new cobit 19 very and identified in southern africa as the most concerning they have seen. yet the u. k. health security agency says it has mutations that could make it spread and infect people more easily. it adds that the varian spike protein is dramatically different to the original corona virus. a cubic 19 vaccines are based on southern african sciences, say they have detected the barrier in small numbers of people. so far. cases have also been seen in botswana and in hong kong, helen reese as

a senior advisor at the will health organization. she says, while it's right to be consent as much, we still have to learn about the new variant. i think when we see something like this and we don't yet understand it, we must all be very concerned. and scientists have to turn their full attention to trying to understand it, but i don't think people should jump to panic. or we've seen with the delta strain, for example, that it was more transmissible. and it was more resistant to the action of vaccines . the antibodies induced by vaccines, but none the less, the vaccine still prevented severe disease and hospitalization. but that this is why we're now trying to identify how widely spread this is. but we also, there will be a lot of work looking at, is it more transmissible? is it associated with any more severity of disease? and is, is, it does, does it render the vaccines less effective, those at the heresy? questions that we'll be looking at. but in the mean time, a big, big

a request in south africa, but to, to the world really in terms of vaccinating the african region is what we've been saying all along. please get the vaccines out into the region because as we know, variance don't stay in one country. and as we saw with the delta variants, became the dominant very of world wide. so we really need to push vaccination as we continue to understand what this variant means. well and 50 people have died after fire and smoke filled a russian mine in siberia. some rescuers were among the dead. 285 people were in the mine. when the emergency started early on thursday, most of them did manage to get out. senior managers have been detained, or suspected safety violations. al jazeera has obtained satellite images that show the united arab emirates is providing military support. the ethiopian army, which is currently fighting the to gray people's liberation front. there had been 90 flights between the u. e and ethiopia, in the past 2 months,

this is where they are given help. carrots as a charity tries. it's best to persuade people not to make channel crossings warning of the hazards. most of the time they fail. they don't just blame the people smugglers, they blame governments on both sides of the channel. even though, after what happened yesterday, people will try again. so it's really time to change the politics here. it's really, it's really tend to change the situation and to i mean to open safe and the guy routes to let people and to cover basic needs. when people are ear, lead them settling, fence as well. the british and french governments often blame each other for the problem, getting worse. what's the rhetoric dies down though? there is some hope that wednesday's death could bring a new level of cooperation. what was intended to be a new beginning? was a tragic end for the men, women and children who died in the english channel. how many more may have to die before there's an increase of humanitarian moves to help these people,

both the church leaders of the roman catholic church of england saying the frankly something has to change. the system itself needs to change on that sentiment was taken into the parliamentary debates as well with the home secretary, pretty patel saying that the crossings were illegal, unnecessary, and desperately unsafe and pledging to get even tougher with the criminal gangs that are organizing them. chris donna, the leader of the opposition labor party, said frankly, he was sick of the home secretary playing through the headlines. and there is pressure upon the government of forest johnson to try a new way to open up legal ways for refugees to claim asylum without having to arrive here on british shores before having to do so. as the current system dictates, the refugee council said that frankly, it should be a wake up call for the government to rethink its approach to the channel migrants. but it is important to have the context that this government has

a populist government and immigration was an absolute keystone issue. both in the most recent general election and in the breakfast vote that preceded it. the idea of taking back control of the board is a central issue. in the vote that so far is johnson when his majority and parliament and so britain leave the european union. so it's one thing to have humanity and compassion, but for the politicians in charge of this country, votes appeared to me at the more and about $300.00 people had been rescued at sea by the italian coast guard. cruz say the boats was in distress because of the large number of refugees and migrants on board in rough conditions. they were 20 kilometers from the italian island of lem producer. the police and turkey f. i t aghast to disperse hundreds of people who were rallying for women's rights in istanbul, demonstrators use international day for the elimination of violence against women to demand that circuit return to
