thanks for joining us we begin the program in sudan where ethiopia special envoy says the opposition has agreed to suspend its campaign web civil disobedience indefinitely in turn the military will release political prisoners as a confidence building measure both sides have also agreed to resume talks on forming a transitional council the announcement comes on the 3rd day of a strike residents stayed indoors and businesses remained shot in much of the capital khartoum protest leaders had vowed to continue their campaign until the military hands over power to a civilian led transitional government doctors say the number of deaths since the military launched its crackdown on protesters last monday now stands at 129 people . well activists in sudan's war torn darfur region meanwhile say that at least 8 people were killed there on monday for refusing to open their businesses as part of the strike videos which haven't been independently verified show homes and shops burned down the allegations in there for come as amnesty international says it has new evidence of human rights violations there the rights group says satellite pictures and testimonies confirm that government forces and militias at that 45 villages between july 2018 and february this year abuses recorded include unlawful killings sexual violence and forced the spokesman for the violence involves the government's rapid support forces the group accused of carrying out last week's that lee crackdown on protesters well obviously his beer in sudan was closed nearly 2 weeks ago now but before that mohamed valar correspondent was in khartoum covering events for us and he job now joins us live from doha mohammed good to see you and it does seem that perhaps these are moves towards a more peaceful direction when it comes to trying to find a solution to the situation in sudan how do you read them. barbara the 2 sides have suffered from the events of last week the military council has apparently felt that it has lost the moral high ground because of those killings more than 100 about 130 people killed so there was a lot of condemnations from the international community and also from inside they have seen how the people have turned against them inside the country that civil disobedience that has been for 3 days has impacted the probably the military view of what's happening and also the only and the u.s. has talked about it u.s. has condemned this and asked the military council to return to negotiation table and to do something about those people who have killed the civilians so a lot of pressure from inside and from outside that made the military council you know review its position remember just a few days ago after the killings they said they will not go back to the same to the same agreements that have already been signed between the 2 sides or agreed on now they are reversing that position or so the protesters on the other hand have seen their selves losing the most powerful card in this game of this standoff which she's the protest in the streets and the city so now they know that they only have the civil disobedience and the civil disobedience cannot be continued for over they know that if it continues it will impact the livelihood of the population and it will turn the people against them they have to use this card very carefully and sporadically and that's what they have decided so both sides now see that there is no alternative to returning to negotiations mohammed so they're going to go back to the negotiating table but i seem to understand from what you're saying do you think the protesters are in a weakened the position as opposed to you know 23 weeks ago and ultimately where do you see these negotiations leading. absolutely the protesters now are we are you know they will not admit that but because they have lost the 2 you know powerful card the protests in the streets and the thousands of work in that city in front of the military council now the military council now they have to do something they have to be careful in using whatever power they still have including the civil disobedience so we can only expect concessions on the side and we can expect a lot of concessions on the military side because of the accusations on the condemnations as i have said but there are sticking points and the most the main sticking point is who is going to lead the transitional sovereign council is it military majority or civilian majority i expect tougher negotiations i expect tough days more difficult negotiations to take place and it is going to take time before they agree on anything in this particular respect the other points have they have already agreed on mohamed val with the latest on events in sudan speaking to us from doha mohammed as always thank you. molly's prime minister has visited the scene of the country's latest massacre seeking to reassure terrified residents there gunmen killed at

1st case of the disease since an outbreak in the region that child traveled from the democratic republic of congo with his family on sunday officials have sent a team to trace likely cases cases and vaccinate those who may have come in contact with the child uganda has been on high alert since the outbreak in the eastern b.r.c. where nearly 1400 people have died from the virus let's go to russia now where a wave of public anger has forced the authorities to make a rare u. turn over a case against a popular journalist all charges against the russian reporter even balloon of have been dropped in just over an hour ago he walked free from a police station investigative journalist had been accused of drug dealing but his lawyers and said the drugs were planted by authorities balloon of is known for his work exposing corruption among moscow's political elite. thank you very much for all the support i still hardly understand what's happening i'm happy that justice has been served and that a criminal case was dropped i hope the investigation will continue and i hope no one will find himself in the same situation as me go live now to step vasant who is in moscow for us with more on this story obvious relief they are in the voice of the reporter even the loon of but what do you think the reasons might have been behind this u. turn is it really as simple perhaps as authorities are saying. know it's very unusual and everyone was pretty much surprised that this is happening because this is of course not the 1st time that someone in a poem and a critic a journalist has been framed on brocks charges and the most of the time if you're caught up in the legal system here in russia that means you will stay there for a long time many have spent many years in prison so the same was sort of expected to happen this time around but it didn't and one of the reasons is that the kremlin was already starting to become quite uncomfortable with this case in the last couple of days pascoe of the spokesman of putin sad that maybe mistakes had been made which was already a hint normally he says well this is the law and we can't intervene and what we've seen in the last couple of days was pretty extraordinary like for example yesterday 3 leading business so newspapers all had the front page the same words i we are even gallon of so basically they were all saying this could happen to us as well and this whole protests reached up to the highest levels also in the state media anchors famous anchors here in russia spoke out against this case and questioned the reason for his arrest so basically this whole turn around must have been the result of this all this pressure that was put on the authorities but you mentioned this pressure journalists have been intimidated before in russia so why did this case bring about this sort of pressure and i guess this almost unity as you're describing it among the rest of the media. yeah i think because it's in moscow and he was quite a well known investigative journalist who still is has uncovered stories that are basically heard your stories here in moscow pretty much corruption stories so basically it came very close to a lot of people who are working here and this is also the 1st time that it's a prominent journalist who is basically trapped in this kind of legal case it happened a lot in chechnya and in human rights cases before but this was very close to home and that's why i think a lot of people felt like if this could happen to him it could happen to me it could happen to everyone so that's why this whole out for of for protest and and questions also on social media even on the state media there were questions raised about this case up to the highest levels step person with the latest on that story from moscow step thank you. still ahead in this half hour u.s. president donald trump alles of good relationship with north korea after receiving what he called a beautiful letter came john and political strife in

reports from riyadh where look on a launched his landmark scheme he won praise for integrating migrants in the town he ran but to many is a man in exile he's no longer allowed back to his hometown of riyadh even though he made the remote southern italian village well known for its welcome to outsiders now he's facing trial for allegedly aiding illegal immigration you're for through the roof i've made a choice as mayor to support people who have no voice pushing for that every day because i believe in a human society. this is the reaction is new mayor antonio 3 foot he made his inaugural speech on sunday promising a new dawn for the village with the help of the far right immigration league party vehemently against the previous mode of integration and they say it's time for change they threw their support behind 3 fully b.r. germany saw in your the reaction needs to develop not just barely populating itself to silence the. 3rd thing is identity and standing strong went on to feet where once the streets were full of life there's scarcely anyone around now the government has cut funds which sustained projects here migrants who settled here are locked in to talk to anyone about

allegedly abetting illegal immigration amongst other charges could even face time in prison from a global village to a rapidly deserted one reaction is new league policy backed may has promised a

fearing the worst. government which to end what is you cannot create it here should not be destroyed he created an economic system which works here and can work throughout the country the small towns here suffer from the population there are no young people here as they've all left the promises of the new mayor will be a challenge in this remote area if he actually is to come back from the brink it faces many here believe it will require a complete overhaul if it is to avoid the fate of dying out altogether so new diagonal al-jazeera reaction southern italy. iran has released the lebanese businessman who was imprisoned 4 years ago on charges of spying for the u.s. . who was u.s. residency travel to beirut with lebanon security chief he was the tamed while visiting iran for a conference in 2015 lebanese media reported that zaca had been pardoned at the request of lebanon's president michel the iranian state t.v. cited official sources saying that his release was secured only following the intervention of hassan nasrallah the leader of the iran backed lebanese group hezbollah. the us is imposing sanctions on the syrian businessman and his family after washington accused them of profiting from the civil war some have falls and his 2 brothers amir and hussein have close ties to president bashar al assad they're being cut off from the u.s. financial system for allegedly assisting assad and his government they're said to have made millions by developing luxury properties on land seized from those who fled the war. u.s. president donald trump says he's looking into the possibility of granting asylum to venezuelans fleeing political turmoil in their country he also told reporters he thinks something positive will happen with north korea after receiving what he called a beautiful letter from conjunction. no nuclear testing no major missile test nothing like when i 1st got here when i 1st got here it was a mess we have a very good relationship together now i could get from it because of the letter i got yesterday. i think you know i think that something will happen that's going to be very positive but in the meantime we have our hot his back the remains keep coming back we we have a relation what he. writes get more from a white chorus white house correspondent kimberly how there so he spoke of this beautiful lesson from kim jong un and he seems to think the relationship will improve beyond the letter one of the reasons that he give. well he continues to build optimism and that's what donald trump does is he speaks in very flowery positive language even if the facts don't always reflect the optimism and this is certainly an example of that because you remember the last time that the north korean leader kim jong un and donald trump met was in hanoi vietnam summit and that pretty much fell apart when they failed to get any sort of agreement or statement on denuclearization the talks of sensually stalling the reason that donald trump may be sort of putting forward these flowery positive statements talking about the beautiful correspondence he received may have a lot to do with what's coming up on donald trump's calendar at the end of the month that's the g. 20 summit that will take place in japan and then he expects to go to south korea after that so certainly there seems to be some attempt to try and portray a very positive situation going into these meetings even as donald trump has acknowledged that earlier in may in fact north korea conducted a strike drill which his own advisor said have violated u.n. security council resolutions even as that was happening donald trump continued to express optimism saying it really didn't bother him too much it wasn't an issue in his mind and that seems to be what he's continuing to do in advance of this meeting with world leaders and later in south korea later this month let's also look at what he said about venezuela it is perhaps surprising that considering everything this president has said about effectively not wanting people from south america to come whether they're economic migrants or even claiming asylum now he seems to be almost opening the door to potential asylum seekers from venezuela what's behind. yeah there are couple of things behind this the 1st is in the last week domestically there have been a number of editorials kind of challenging donald trump for what many see as kind of hypocritical statements that in fact that he's talking about the venezuelan government nicolas maduro the leader there as being a brutal dictator but doing nothing for the people that are still living there so he's been challenged to offer temporary protected status asylum and we already know that 3400000 venezuelans have left in recent years but despite sort of the wealthy this of the united states it's not the united states that has been sort of accepting these individuals instead they've gone to countries with far lesser in terms of means like colombia argentina ecuador peru so what we've seen in recent months here in the united states is in the house the democrats sponsored some legislation that really didn't get a lot of republican support to try and allow $72000.00 into the united states to seek asylum there was a similar measure in the senate that also received basically lukewarm response so it appears that donald trump maybe you'll going to some of that the other thing to remember in all of this is we're already into election season here in the united states even though the election is not until $2020.00 that needs the support of many particularly in the state of florida which has a geographical proximity to venezuela who may be sympathetic to those in the plate that they're experiencing and want to see this from this president and he needs their votes that's going to be a key battleground state next year so that may be another reason this is coming into play and why it's coming into play right now can really help here with the latest from the white house kimberly thank you. go to hong kong now where protesters have already been gathering ahead of another mass rally on wednesday against a controversial extradition bill organizers want to repeat the size of a march in the city's financial district at the weekend when around 1000000 people took to the streets. but testers are opposed to a proposed new law that would allow people in hong kong to be extradited to mainland china scores of businesses have pledged to close for the day as a sign of support for the protests. meanwhile china's leaders continue to voice support for hong kong's leader kerry lyon who's resisting the months to shelve the controversial extradition bill brown reports now from beijing where legal experts are defending the proposed law.

were persuaded to return others were extradited from one of more than 30 countries that now have a treaty with china a criminal lawyer i represented 2 suspects who ended up on a plane back to china both receive suspended jail terms proof he says that the rights of suspects are being safeguarded in china. they send what some people or you hong kong oppose or warry about setting up base addition system with china that i personally think is unnecessary because the positive sites way overrides the negative side because he says it would ultimately help to reduce crime in both hong kong and china chinese officials say there's nothing sinister about hong kong needing a new extradition law they say the territory has become a haven from justice for hundreds of criminals who can't be prosecuted because of the legal loophole. china's legal system is controlled by the communist party and say critics is biased towards a presumption of guilt especially in high profile or politically sensitive cases like those involving human rights lawyers government statistics report a 99 percent conviction rate in 2017 just a woman who just is one of a handful of activists still prepared to talk to the foreign media he says the hong kong protesters are all right to resist the plan's new extradition rule sending certain war since i honk kong is the only place in their communist rule where people can take to the streets to express their opinions and i support them the last time we did that in mainland china was 30 years ago. china's state media says the violence after sunday's rally in hong kong was premeditated and planned. but concedes the protest was a reminder that more needs to be done to explain why the law change is necessary adrian brown al jazeera beijing. radiohead is releasing
