4:05 pm
those who are behind the protests. they are basically saying that what happened is the condition of the lamb duke has only given them more fuel for protest. and for the machine of the military, they say that he was trying to find a middle ground or he was trying to bring everyone to the table. and some of the protesters themselves were saying, let's give him a 2nd. charles, they were trying to convince their colleagues that the political agreements that he find with the military in november should be given to charles. now that his mind, they are vindicate those who are opposed to him due to his agreement with the military say they are indicated in the position in the hard line position. and they are saying that now they are more united, more people are coming to them. and say ok, now this is the time to go ahead and protest because there was no other choice. remember that the staff of these committees is no negotiation, no compromise, no,
4:06 pm
no, no agreement with the military. the only solution for so that is, the military should see power and leave it for civilians. tomorrow they are organizing a, a protest in on demand. but i just understood also that the other committees in the other parts of cartoon are joining. so it will be, it will be a general protest in, throughout the capital cartoon that shows how much support they are gaining and how much momentum they are making. after this resignation of the land, there is even an expectation about the forces of freedom, a change, whole where divided about the situation in that particularly the staff was handling the staff the words that as if the committees might even join, that it is committees and bring more numbers to the threats against the military as protest potentially builds mohammed what efforts are being made to try and bridge the divide and can they be successful given the poder,

4:08 pm

not bringing you measure, sticking with water cold here. the plan b matches which essentially amount to working from home, if you can, and wearing mosques a bit more often. and now that was a gamble. the other part of the u. k. didn't take, they did tighten things up. so for us, johnson and england is a bit of an outlier at the moment, but he is suggesting the stating that he's not wavering from that at the moment. saying that the, the mixture of measures that are in place of them, i went to the right ones and they are going to stick with them. not that it. despite searching numbers of all micro cases. the fact that there are more than 12000 people in a hospital, in the u. k. at the moment with alma crohn, one in 10, and a staff at the moment is off sick or isolating. the system is being severely stressed and bar. johnson admits that and says it's likely to get worse over the coming couple of weeks, but he's basically saying, we're not going to change from that, arguably to like to do that anyway. the peak is probably about now and any time to

4:23 pm
they can proceed and overcome those hurdles. this week we're expecting to find out whether or not that can actually happen the rain you have said that they want the sanctions listed since the americans left a deal in 2018 and impose a series of strict sanctions under aunt oil on banking sectors. the way the americans for their part have said that the ranges have to go back into full compliance since 2019 they started reducing their commitments to the nuclear deal. and further advanced their nuclear program. there seems to be incentive from all sites to decide whether or not this deal can be salvage. this week, the coming talks will be the most serious, since the negotiations began in april of last year. and that is because the, a dispute mechanism was triggered by the european signatories to the deal. that is germany, france, and you pay in january of 2020. so this has been going on for very long time. it seems it's now this week that we'll decide whether or not the parties involved to
4:24 pm
be able to come to some kind of an agreement about whether or not they can revive this the 2015 nuclear deal or dose of thanks for the dosage farther. and to roach off to har controls wind spot destruct to funds in the u. s. state of colorado. the winter storm has now hit just days later. so on to say, climate change is to blame more about mildly as this child remnants from people's lives peak through a blanket of snow. a winter storm hit, colorado's boat county days after fire had engulfed entire neighborhoods. the fire began in northern denver and within hours that destroyed a 1000 homes of the sweeping to superior town and the city of louis. so you know, these a quiet little box were kids play? did this look resident and his dog. we're lucky not to lose their home. walking through that devastation yesterday was on one hand. heartbreaking because,
4:25 pm
you know, there people lost. ah, there the other their belongings there, memories that were in those homes, families that were raised there. u. s. present, joe biden has offered funds to help with the recovery, and the county sheriffs, as such, is continuing the victims. the scenes are still hot. they're still, you know, deep in debris, hot debris cover was snow. so as a very difficult task assigned to say, unusual weather had a domino effect early trench or rain let to prairie gross, his growing hide. a dry winter turned the ground to kindling and powerful winds down, power lines igniting the grass. they blame climate change. this kind of event that happens in december with a lot of rain to increase fuels early in the year and then no rain later in the
4:26 pm
year. that drives them out is very much associated with climate change. some lives have been lost and thousands more appended. if climate change is to blame many will question, how can they prevent this destruction from recurring in the future? laura, but manly al jazeera. alright, time for la could see well whether not his room been pretty wet start the year in the end of last year. as our middle east and particularly focusing on the gulf q 8, for example, had flooding just yesterday, that moves us with the clouds and active winter frontal system. this went down to the gulf state through katha, towards the u. e. this is a couple of pictures from shouted, but they're fairly typical of the area. and it's not the end of it is more rain falling to day in the amber it's and that's probably going to focus further east following it. a shame on this shipment is that cold, strong, normally when the blows down, usually in the winter it can be a sandy one. but this one has been renting iraq, i think will be a fairly clear,
4:27 pm
but it will be felt the temperatures as a max in the amount. for example, 16, i think we'll see 23 though hot. if we're lucky, i think it won't feel anything like that. so a bit of a chill feel, but if you fall the rain along, it focuses during monday, tuesday particular on the far south of what was south east of iran, southern pakistan. and the northern to bit is causes coldness, a snow frankenstein and for pakistan. and eventually, this whole system keeps moving through the whole country, coffee in this valley and into the northwest of india, falling probably over the robber, horrible skies over delhi, and improving things somewhat active winter are up. thanks a lot. still ahead here in al jazeera, how a centuries old technique is still being used in mountains and iraq to make a staple. and a lucky escape for an nfl player in philadelphia. in late ah,

hulu. ah elegant, you're watching out 0 mind about top stories and a student prime minister abdullah handled has resigned lessons 2 months after he signed a deal with the military following qu, i'm book failed to former governments. he said more talk to needed if the country is to move toward civilian rule. yemen. susie fighters say they've seized the united arab emirates ship off the port city of data. the rebels say the vessel was carrying military supplies for the saudi led coalition says medical supplies were on board. you k prime minister bronze johnson has warned prussia on hospitals will
4:30 pm
be considerable in the next couple of weeks in england, secondary school students returning to classes later this week are required to wear masks. well, let's return to our top story on the resignation of students. prime minister, abdullah ham dog dalia after morning is a pro democracy activists as she joins us live from khartoum. by skype or dahlia, we knew this resignation was coming. but what's your reaction and where does it leave the pro democracy movement? ah, my initial reaction was i was a bit upset because i, i always thought that even though he committed a lot of mistakes or hm dog, he was still the political buffer the week that the civilian side needed. he was that, you know, like the figure head that the people could, could speak to, could aligned to. but now that he's gone, i can't see a replacement or i can't see an option b in or who else is gonna step up. the
4:31 pm
political parties burnt there, bridges and they had their political bickering. got us nowhere, definitely not the militant military entity. so for me it's a question of what now, what's next? what's going to happen? who will be cool, will show up as the head or as the leader of the civilian side. right. do you think it's my favorite non emerge? because a one thing will be very evident from this is the, the lack of unity in the pro moxy ranks of civil infections. i guess i need to close ranks the do and they need to, they need to put as a priority, the welfare of the country and the, and the people partisan politics need to be put to the side and they need to realize a need for them to move forward for us to move forward. they need to understand and the need to, you know, you know, put in the work though that's required to help him to help us. so that work was putting back in 20192018 when the revolution 1st started. but it basically fell
4:32 pm
apart during the transitional period of the government. but now they have to go back to, you know, have to go back to square one and start fresh. and because under the day i no one has come out to winner. i don't know whether it's the military or the civilian political side. no one has emerged as a winner because we're all back. and i, like i said at square one, and i know the streets, the resistance committees will continue to call for protests and the people will continue to go out. and, but where will that lead us? i mean, we go out, we protest and we go back home, but we need in the next step, rejected is where the civic society got nor i was gonna say was it meant this is, this is just the, it's the lack of unity is. that is the problem, isn't it? because it, there was a distinct opportunity and i guess you could say that in a sense of, per democracy movement was to blame because it didn't take that opportunity. and there's also a lack of trust. i mean, this is a big issue, you know, because the political movement was given, you know, that was given to this amazing,
4:33 pm
it role to play, you know, to, to help this country move forward. we the people that once on the street we did, our party was now up to them and they failed us. they failed that and i think they, whether they will admit it or not, that that is the case. and now the issue is how do we move forward? i, i'm hoping that they've now that ham dock has stepped down. they realize that they need to get their houses into order. they need to get their, you know, they need to get everything organized, a need to start from scratch. and i think also the military side needs to understand, but the people will knock that up. they never agreed to the deal between hum dock and the military. and they've never agreed to the military being that to lead us. you know, we accepted them as being a part of the government, but not to be the head of the government. and if, but hon and, and his allies in though the others and the aren't factions, believe that they can now leave the country. they're, you know, they're fooling themselves because it's was, it's been clear since day one that we do not accept them as our leadership. ok,
