over the last ten to fifteen years that has resulted in numerous numerous you know deaths up to you know hundreds of thousands in mass displacement and despite arrest warrants and force al bashir has visited a number of countries in the region including syria. while the rest of the region have been experiencing an arab spring alba she had faced little political unrest until late twenty eight scene when the government decided to triple the price of bread. it triggered protests nationwide and calls for his resignation as they accuse him of mismanaging the economy sending food prices high and causing regular fuel shortages all muddled but she would have served as president until the end of his term next year but now he'll be remembered as one of the last remaining african strong men brought down by a people's uprising sort of al-jazeera. so who is exactly the

defense minister. well he's long been a significant figure in sudan's military establishment he served in the sudanese armed forces until taking command of the artillery division he went on to work in a number of high level posts from head of foreign and military intelligence services to being the joint chief of staff he was dismissed in twenty ten as part of a major military shake up after retiring of came back to the political scene working in diplomatic posts in egypt and oman he then became defense minister in twenty fifteen and in the wake of the mass protest in february he was appointed his first vice president while maintaining his defense duties let's bring in john baptist he's a research at yale he joins us from berlin. just explain to us what you think might happen in the coming two years. well i think two years is a very long time from now i think your what will happen in the next twenty four to forty eight hours will be crucial as your reporter said the demonstrators in the

position of media clear that they are not happy with what happened today that. that the military will be in power for for two years is really not what what what they've hoped for now we can expect demonstrators to stay on the street tonight and the question will be will in the street to try to implement the curfew that they've announced will this odors that have been protecting demonstrators for the past for the past week or so for the past week turn their weapons against them to strangers and if you've been from the from the street in front of the military headquarters. can you get what they want just to interrupt you can they get what they want in as much as you're talking about the military there the police have been told to keep their guns out of sites not to fire anyone one nazis of course the military have not either been told that or told themselves that. well i don't know what

instructions the military has received but it's clear that we've also seen agents from the national intelligence and security services disappearing into been in their positions i think the margins of maneuver of the regime are pretty narrow in that respect because i think the will of much of the rank and file soldiers and agents of the ministry of interior and nice the will to the press as weakened and i think i think the christians will continue to to pressure the current government now in the positive side of all these and in the short term we the specter of violence within the regime seems to have vanished because clearly the appointment of even. as the head of the military council signifies an agreement among senior security and military figures. obviously this means that the regime

the regime is the same as it was yesterday with the exception of a few figures close to bashir who have been detained so the crisis is far from over and i think we're going to have two full of different mints very closely in the next in the next few days there have been several months of protests on the streets but what was the it's the division all that the idea that now they should take those protests to the next level. well it clearly i mean demonstrators were hoping that there would be some form of civilian transitional council but as far as we can tell there's been no consultation of any opposition group. in these negotiations that have led to the nomination of the military council these negotiations i've been purely within the regime and both the sudanese professionals association and the secure part put in

a position parties that are signatories to the declaration for freedom of change after announced this transitional council i think any kind of serious. solution to these crises will require the regime to make a earnest effort to open this transition to civilian figures and to really put the reins of this transition in the hands of civilian figures and this is not what we're seeing so far why didn't bush go last february he had an open exit door presented to him at that point but he decided to walk away from that and stay where he was well i think he really i think the instant i seen that movement that he really probably never thought that he could it could be safe from from from the legal liability if you left paris so he decided to go until the end and he didn't leave of his own volition i think for

a long time you read i don't the fact that he had built these security and military forces one against the other so we mistrust among them as a way of hedging against the risk of a coup but the situation clearly has shown that. he felt these people of course you needed together to remove him and save the interest. ok jump up to thank you very much. thank you very much. still to cover for you here on the news including these stories and as well of. intel nicolas maduro that his time is up. it's time for him to go nicolas maduro has an angry response to those words in the u.s. vice president mike pence calling on him to step down. and at the source news find out which team grabs the final spot in the n.b.a. playoffs.

the founder of wiki leaks has been arrested in london and is facing an extradition warrant from the united states for computer hacking police dragged julian a song from the ecuadorian embassy where he spent the last seven years the ecuadorians a victim for what they said were quotes repeated violations of the terms of his political asylum is wanted in the u.s. for computer hacking and the leaking of hundreds of thousands of classified military documents we have two live reports for you here on the news hour on this developing story still she have returns he will join us from washington in just a moment with more on the u.s. extradition request we'll start with a conversation with my colleague were chalons who's in london sorority spent most of the day in court or in a van what happens to him next. well the judge district judge hearing his case here. westminster magistrate's court in london who is dealing with two issues that are being placed

in front of it the first was a domestic one relating to. judy in a sound entrance to the ecuadorian embassy seven years ago two thousand and twelve when basically he skipped bail out zach exactly what the judge said he done here found him guilty on that. that case has now been referred to the crown court for sentencing and a few weeks time now there was. exchanges of tween the district judge and julian assange is legal to see. julius and his lawyer said that. yes i was didn't trust the british legal system to treat him fairly and questions the impartiality of a judge who dealt with applications to throw out the arrest warrants against judy in the sound and the district judge also said the judas and his behavior is that of

a narcissist who can't get beyond his own selfish interests the prosecution also said that judaism to try to resist arrest when police were dragging him out of the ecuadorian embassy earlier on today on the more serious issue of the extradition well that was already being properly dealt with today on may the second l.b.o. video link hearing well that will start being considered and then at the beginning of june it will begin in earnest and of course it's more serious because if julian a sound is extradited to the united states he is very likely to face a court there on the charges of the u.s. wants to try him on which is essentially leaking secrets could we have any idea of jail term called me for interrupting you there were do we have any idea what the timeline is here because you've already touched on this but clearly the home office or the security services are talking to the foreign office and they must be talking to the state department in washington do you get the sense that this could happen

in a matter of days or maybe weeks. well the standard extradition process takes twenty one days or so from arrests i know it's not going to be a particularly fast thing and it also has to go through various legal hoops a judge must be satisfied that whatever the person is accused of is also a crime here in this country so you can judge what i say will whatever g.v. . i haven't seen a sound is accused of that in the united states for me to extradite him it would have to also be a crime here there are also human rights considerations that a judge would have to consider and health considerations to and then have to be innocence doesn't like what an extradition judge has decided he can go through appeals process the process is first the high court and then to the supreme court so no it's not particularly fast that process but of course this is something the

united states wants to be pushed through as quickly as possible so we'll have to see how long it takes what actually comes to pass rory thanks very much. well let's put this in context for you a couple weeks back a couple months back in january on our talk to al-jazeera show i spoke with the ecuadorian president lenin i asked him how secure julian assange g.'s asylum status was at the embassy in london. you clearly don't like him being there are you prepared to force him out loud because he will do the opposite the only way this could happen is if mr assad's fails to fill his commitment not to affect the politics of neighboring countries as in every home or country that provides shelter we have conditions for those seeking refuge mistress' sanchez always been welcome the now embassy and he has to respect those conditions he should not interfere in the internal politics of friendly countries as he will be but there have been several recent opinion polls done by reputable publications in the states that seem

to say you are under pressure to do something about the issue and this pressure coming at you as well from the state department in washington. because i have been through the no differently not but we would not accept it under any circumstances country and our government our sovereign it's more problematic for mr assad's than for us and and we don't think that remaining at the embassy for more than six years is convenient and regathered to his human rights which means that in iran are talking to us they're back in january here in britain and see joins us live here on the news and from washington she have as far as they're concerned what might the legal process now shape up to be. well i think that the u.s. government has been trying its best to pursue julian asylums without setting a precedent that means that we could all get arrested if we publish something if we

report on something that the u.s. government doesn't like because they say it's secret even if it's in the public interest all of this stems from that leak in twenty ten by chelsea manning including various elements that we use extensively here on al-jazeera including the give it about famous video of a u.s. helicopter pilot shooting various iraqis including reuters journalists in iraq the tens of thousands of documents leaked by chelsea manning which showed evidence of war crimes in iraq and afghanistan diplomatic contraventions of the law by u.s. state department officials and it goes on and on we use this database constantly so if if and this is what the obama presidency tried to do if you prosecute someone for publishing that information that means we're all culpable that means you can arrest the new someone from the new york times for this kind of thing so this is what the donald trump department of justice has come up with that only charging him with one count of hocking which has a maximum sentence of up to five years they allege that at

a point in twenty ten. said look this is about all the information i have to give you and you did so and replied with this curious eyes never run dry in my experience so encouraging chelsea manning to delete more information than the indictment says that also manning provided us with part of a policy for department of defense computer and this is what everything hinges on these four words sometime in march told told manning according to the d.o.j. that he had had no luck so far in trying to crack about that's it those four words and they also it alleges part of the man as a means of the conspiracy that julian. actively try to protect and conceal the source chelsea manning from the public look for public exposure which is what any journalist would do so it's relatively thin stuff especially when we think about the precedents for journalists the press and their sources the protection of

sources the encouragement of sources to give up information that may have enormous public interest like the post the prosecution of war crimes. the other point of this is though that if a stange is extradited to the u.s. there's nothing stopping the u.s. government from them continuing to file charges against assad which would have even more precedence for that that cold concept of a government prosecuting a journalist or a publisher for publishing something that the government doesn't like this would suggest then the government could do that to any journalist around the world. thanks very much let's bring in the she's a human rights and technology lawyer and she's collaborated in the legal case with julian our songs over the past ten years she joins us on skype from belgrade serbia what does julian our song do now. well whether it do the lawyers do know

i mean what he ma'am i'm my principal concern now is that he has been denied proper health care for seven years and now he's in the hands of the four of us who denied that the proper health care for seven years if you see on how the events unfold today it was for me. none nada not. a human treatment the way that he was bush out of the embassy and immediately. forced to face court. a burton that hasn't been outside for seven years that hasn't received urgent medical treatment that has to deal with it have we any men's pressure and that i am the last poster mode to. stress. about he's ok course ok just one of just let me interrupt for a second when you talk about his health care and his health situation presumably he

is aware of his own health and the ecuadoran authorities inside the embassy are aware of whether he's got good health or not but he wasn't detained in the embassy he wasn't chained to a radiator it was his choice to go into that building and it was his choice to stay there for seven years and it was his choice to leave this morning and he must have known because he does court controversy that's part of his m.o. if you will he must have known that when he walked out the building there would be a scrum of policemen and women there would be a scrum of the world's media. their number one he was he was not a choice in what the stakes are so super human right the right to seek asylum and he was granted the right and that right once once he's granted it it has obligations for the country granting that attached it is human right to. seek asylum to be granted asylum and to enjoy the asylum that's not you not what i

was saying and i'm sure you're aware of that what i was saying was yes he had the right to claim asylum but it was his choice to claim asylum it was his choice to walk through the front door at the embassy right yes yes sure do it if you exercise a right and get inside the embassy and see. the dramatic protection today what happened today he west expelled from the embassy forced out from them by sea and walking out from them by sea i do describe it ok very very highly very briefly if other words you can be read in the headlines and in two minutes but. if he is extradited will we see someone in a court either in the united states or back in the u.k. who is not according to the court today who is not a narcissist and a self publicist. well what that statement was serious violation of the fairness that any judge should keep on any procedure or and i

what i fear is that he would be not there's not a chance of fair trial either in the u.k. or in the u.s. right now under disco circumstances it has been a political case a political persecution with lots of irregularities through the faces missing documents longer terms when the terms should be shortened short of when there should be longer. nondisclosure. the nondisclosure of freedom of information requests constant denial of things that i read regularly granted. so what can we expect from the u.k. justice and from the u.s. justice what i fear the most that is that these case right now in the u.k. is the perfect distraction from theresa may mess with the bracks it and the timing of the case makes makes me very suspicious of this and also way that mediates

thinking the case makes me wonder why he's not described as cubes journalist and why the angle of the bad healthcare them person misbehavior is being pushed by the media that this is a very serious case of freedom of expression and should be treated the such we must leave our conversation there and also via in belgrade thank you so much. still to come here on the news for you. we look at what's at stake in northern ireland as uncertainty fuels morpheus over the future of the border. and in the sport we'll hear from the australian cricket aiming for sporting redemption in england.

i want to fly but they have more wet weather just making its way towards iran as we go on through the next dial says move out of the way you can see how this latest little line of cloud line is stole my drift across iraq this one here just making its way so just down to the southeast all of iran iraq will make his way for the ace was this is to say to the southwest of iran as you can see the the flood waters do remain high the sun is out it's not writing a lace but we are still expecting more showers that will cause further problems and hence people moving their property after the way try to get to higher ground away from the flooding scattered showers they make their way back in this week i through friday and it's a similar picture as we go on into sas i think but the cloud around a child's to some wet weather just about anywhere across iran at this stage whether weather will be over towards afghanistan brush the weather over towards the ads and

better to twenty four degrees celsius and pleasant sunshine coming through a lot of sunshine too across the robin is that we have got some cloud of rain you can see possibility of wanted to spots of rain them to the u.a.e. northern parts of amman southern areas of saudi arabia i most of the saturday. up to.

al-jazeera. every. methamphetamines for me and my a flooding into countries across asia. one o one east asked why or how far he's caught failed to stop the myth. on al jazeera . welcome back these are your top stories so far this hour instead on the military has staged a coup after weeks of antigovernment protests the defense minister says president omar al bashir will be arrested and held in

a quote safe place the military will be in charge of a transitional council for two years and a state of emergency has been put in place for three months. the founder of wiki leaks been arrested in london and is facing an extradition warrant from the u.s. on charges of hacking police joining us songs from the ecuadorian embassy where he spent the last seven years ecuadorians a victim for what they said were repeated violations of his political asylum. the polls have closed after the first day of six weeks of voting in the world's largest ever election nine hundred million indians are registered to vote in what's seen as a popularity test for the ruling b.g.p. and no render a modis five years as prime minister. a massive exercise in democracy started in the capital new delhi. these people were among the first to vote arriving early at this polling station and predation to cast their ballot in the first of india seven phase election ninety one part of the. entry seats are

being decided in twenty regions this first round. security personnel have kept the watch why nine hundred million registered voters there are many different concerns . our main issue is development so i will vote for development others have different priorities so. we hope that the next government will reduce unemployment and improve security as more over roads should be made and poverty be reduced corruption is also a major problem. among india's youth unemployment is at its highest in decades subset and the fastest chief in the us is the issue of they can be no big issues in their jobs are the biggest issue. many of the b j p supporters are small traders and it says it's made it easier to do business and improve services for the poor and middle classes but opposition parties blame it for high youth unemployment exploiting divides in communities and the ongoing debt crisis facing farmers

opinion polls suggest the b j p is heading for a reduced majority. or do you want to but some analysts say many indian voters do not decide whom to vote for until the last minute the previous big. everybody was thinking. and then the slogan for india shining. so you never know what is going on. the main opposition congress is hoping to capitalize on this uncertainty are promising voters millions of new jobs as well as a guaranteed minimum income for the poorest twenty percent. but it's uncertain if that's enough to persuade voters. this election is just getting started and there's still six more phases to come whether voters give the b.g.p. another chance elect the opposition or coalition of regional parties takes power will be seen over the coming weeks until as joins us live now from new delhi so how

is the turnout in this first phase and does not speak well for the government or for the opposition. peter the last the count is still coming in but in some areas is pulling in the state of west bengal it's as high as seventy percent but it wasn't smooth across the country there were some incidents in the southern state of on their pradesh for example several hundred voting machines malfunctioned that's also where one person was killed in a clash between party workers we've also found out that a young boy has died another critically injured in indian administered kashmir after india clashes broke out this was shortly after troops were withdrawn as well as polling staff now how this all helps the government or maybe helps the opposition we still can't tell as we heard in the package there are several issues including regional issues like language a cast of pretty killer big one in the state of the predicts that went to the polls

today as we also heard in the story between now and the last days on may nineteenth many indians may change their mind or may not even make up their mind until they go to the voting booth thanks very much. britain's prime minister is resuming talks with the opposition the labor opposition in the u.k. to try and find a way out of the brics a deadlock forty eight hours before britain was due to crash out of the e.u. an emergency summit of e.u. leaders agreed to a six month extension this reason may told parliament she's hoping to get a withdrawal agreement passed next month so british voters avoid e.u. elections. the choices we face are stark and the timetable is clear i believe we must now press on at pace with our efforts to reach a consensus on a deal that is in the national interest i welcome the discussions that have taken place with the opposition in recent days and the further talks which are resuming

today this is not the normal way of british politics and it is uncomfortable for many in both the government and opposition parties reaching an agreement will not be easy because to be successful it will require both sides to make compromises to westminster and my colleague bernard smith so bernard clearly still so many variables but the reason may it would appear does not feel as if she is flogging a dead horse. no and although the labor opposition leader jeremy corbyn easier than mrs may asking for a second extension was a diplomatic failure he said talks with the government will continue that continuing today and then be going on for many days now the problem is that both sides remain quite a long way apart on coming together on a deal particularly on some of the red lines to resume a's government has particularly one that stalks about this customs union that is keeping the u.k.

closely aligned with e.u. rules regulations and tyrants the labor party wants some sort of customs union and the government has said no so they're still far apart on that although parliament is out on a way for an easter break they say they'll continue talking next. week and in the weeks to come the challenge is how they come together to do that before the european elections seems very unlikely indeed and it's going to be even a challenge to do it before october because even if they do find some way of coming together the withdrawal deal teresa mayes withdrawal deal school can say in accord guaranteeing an open border between northern ireland the arab public whatever whatever happens in talks between the e.u. and the u.k. and it's of that pause that to stop the withdrawal agreement getting passed by parliament several times before there's no indication and peas will be any closer or any less divided rather in six months time than they are now peter understood burn the suspect in the talk and talk and talk about drugs it's many thanks well

one of the main bricks at sticking points is what happens to the border between northern ireland and the irish republic in the south the possible return of checkpoints is a major concern not just on trade but for the peace process too of course there was the good friday agreement of the leaves of the end of the one nine hundred ninety s. that's especially true in the second largest city in the north which has been at the forefront of decades of sectarian conflict chance stratford has that angle of our breaks of coverage today from londonderry. the union flag know down which country the approximately four hundred people who live in this neighborhood identify with they describe fountain as the last protestant on play when the predominately catholic west side of londonderry the house is a caged in by what people call a peace wall and everywhere you look there are references to the u.k. the neighborhood used to be a recruiting ground for protestant paramilitary groups during northern ireland's so-called troubles the three decades of violence between predominately protestants

wanting to remain part of the u.k. and mainly catholic republican groups fighting for a united independent island most of the violence indeed with the good friday peace agreement in one thousand nine hundred eight most people here voted for northern ireland to leave the european union but are aware of the challenges ahead hard on today as far as very important. how protestant culture as important to each undivided joe and we are also speaking for myself very much part of great britain we've never really had pace there's always the violence flared up jason carroll in process deftly gin up on about all the adult the british government the e.u. and the irish government do not want a hard border between northern ireland and the irish republic if the u.k. don't leave the e.u. the british military checkpoints disappeared more than twenty years ago so series a maze briggs it deal rejected street times by the british parliament contains the

so-called backstop a last resort to keep an open border if the u.k. crushes out of the without a deal which is one of more than two hundred roads that cross the border and out the so-called stop would given all of a lot of this part of the u.k. some form of temporary special customs union status with the u. it seems inconceivable that they would have to be some form of mechanism of checking certain goods that cross this. and the issue is once again renewing phase of violence could well threaten so some people say the good friday agreement and are highlighting just how important notions of religion and identity are in northern ireland in catholic areas of derry the mule's tell of resistance to british rule and the fight for an independent united on and. the chicks here is met with disdain and sometimes even threats. gary donnelly is

a republican dissidents and activist he left the republican national party shin fein when they signed the good friday agreement he says he was recently shown when he heard children talking about attacking british soldiers never having seen one before the young children came around the corner and they were talking about. shock me. gary says the republican national is slowing shin fein had their self to blame for breaks it because they signed the good friday agreement for me as a republican i thank the good friday agreement. and ireland which is a violation a legal violation of irish sovereignty and that at dead. you know the connection between this part of ireland with. great britain and this community at the monitors and spiral particularly amongst young people there is a ravaged by drugs alcohol addiction there's a lack of hope amongst young people the army's republican army graffiti appeared

about derry a couple of months ago people were afraid to remove it fear and distrust of the other runs deep among many in the protestant and catholic communities here chance trafford al-jazeera dairy. the venezuelan president says he's reached a deal with the red cross to allow in humanitarian aid after weeks of blocking the u.s. shipments at the border nicolas maduro announced is about face in a t.v. address and he accused the u.s. vice president of quotes racist supremacy saying the pentagon is planning an invasion to overthrow him mike pence was at an emergency session of the u.n. security council yesterday urging recognition of the opposition leader john why go as the legitimate president. ascended to the vice president of the united states mike pence was making separate dickless for a security council in the united nations you can understand the city's racist supremacy they believe me as superior to us and they believe they give orders to

a result of the political crisis in the sanctions on venezuela is far reaching aside from those being separated from their parents manu tradition is on the rise and schools are being affected true with teachers going on strike over lack of pay one of the trademarks of the socialist government from the days of president hugo chavez was its investment in education its introduced policies that allowed for poor venezuelans to go to school and university but with the climbing economy and the impact of u.s. sanctions the government isn't able to provide education for everybody and that's why schools like this one in one of caracas is for villas or shanty towns run by the local church and funded by international n.g.o.s are becoming ever more important. sister rizana herrera tells me that she too has seen things getting worse for children in recent weeks and it means that the church and its partners need more resources to help them i think assume an asylum. in the current situation has led to kids being my larry just discussed several consequences on the children

time for the sports news this hour peter thank you so much australian cricketer cameron bancroft says he contemplated quitting the game in the middle of his ban for cheating bancroft was one of three australian test players suspended for ball tampering the twenty six year old is now allowed to play professional cricket again and is making his debut for english county side durham the twenty six year old was banned for nine months after the instant in early two thousand and eighteen. will match that externally i just tell you or i would have to grow as a person you know given the end of meeting him and being honest with yourself about those mistakes you know silly i think and you know as as a person that's something that i'm completely candid before and i wouldn't have it any other what bancroft was caught on camera using sandpaper to damage the ball

during a test match against south africa or australia captain steve smith and batsman david warner were also bad for their involvement a cricket australia investigation concluded that warner devised the plan and instructed bancroft to carry it out. our correspondent lee wellings is in durham for bancroft state u. and says it's a good place for the australian to rebuild his career. it was very interesting to spend time around cameron bancroft this is a man who clearly has changed over the past twelve months he's been for a lot he spent time quite wisely after this huge backlash against him for his cheating in law you some of the things that he talks about doing he's a trying yoga teacher he was talking about some of the charity work that he's been doing extensive charity work and this is helped him get into a much better position refreshing to come back to cricket with a clear mind and actually just concentrate on batting well and getting his place back in the australian team is the longer term i think this is

a good place for him to come so employ his cricket it's slightly out of the spotlight coming to darwin in the second tier of english cricket and not one of the biggest so yes the people that we spoke to around the ground are very pleased to see him here they'll give him lots of support and i think he has every chance to might run the need to push for a place back in the australian ashes time he'll always be remembered for what he did in that series against south africa but this is a chance to start rebuilding his career properly the world athletics governing body the idea has closed an investigation into its own president sebastian coe has been cleared of misleading british lawmakers about his knowledge of the russian doping scandal the investigation focused on how much co actually knew in two thousand and fourteen when he received an e-mail about a formal complaint filed by a russian marathon runner. concluded there was no basis on which any disciplinary case could be established. well quarter finals of europe's i can tear club

collapse and sudan will descend into the chaos the army says it wants to avoid rob matheson our disease. ok let's take a live updates on the still developing story for you live now to khartoum we're going to talk to the freelance journalist mohammed amin mohammed there is in theory a curfew being used but are the protests still ongoing. yes. what was happening actually. the protest artist now there was there there was there were there is a big disappointment among the protesters because they feel that nothing changes because you know the new president you know he actually. has a big a look at him as a big symbol of the old dream of the steam of course you it was the dignity of bush in the fair he was a very successful citizen he was a minister of defense of

a ship and even his speech. the same policies he needed here the system misses the force you must use even more of measures like if you are for one month. from temby m. for a month or so. looking at him as. a new face of this. doing the same policies like that proceed and you know he's put the confidence for for one of four months. for the specific demands of freedoms of crecy and so on so. they're actually. disappointed of. this is speech and now they are challenging the state of emergency and they are insisting to stay in the square of sit in front of the military announced on the thousands of protests that actually. they had to break but this is able to measure

the. distance of the cubs. and the. care if you that that the start of the end today through this night. and the coming few my days. we are actually very. important to deal with things in sudan and to. here's one measure. of fear. and. ok are the present protesters in a in a place where they can say we will keep this going until we get all of the regime gone or walked away or out of the country indeed. nobody.

but. me. and. everybody in. the senate box around the world. and. you're in. areas like that for the from. i think we're beginning to lose the line it's degrading as we're having our conversation so we'll maybe talk to you in the next hour or the hour after that but in the meantime thanks so much for coming on to give us the latest information on what's happening in real time in khartoum we do appreciate it. find a wiki leaks has been arrested in london and is facing an extradition warrant from the united states for computer hacking the police drag julian songs from the

ecuadorian embassy where he spent the last seven years the ecuadorians a big attempt what they said were quote repeated violations of the terms of his political asylum a soldier is wanted in the u.s. for computer hacking and the leaking of hundreds of thousands of classified military documents he appeared before a court in london he was found guilty of breaching his bail conditions in the u.k. well the wiki leaks editor says julian assange has been punished for exposing war crimes. this is a dark day for journalism as a journalist jennifer says is that sort of president we don't want this to go forward this has just has to work the averted the u.k. government is to make up for sure and that of journalists will never be extradited to the united states for publishing activity this pertains to publishing work of nine years ago publishing of documents of videos of killing of innocent civilians exposure of war crimes this is journalistic. well the ecuadoran

ambassador to the u.k. accused you know so much of not living up to his end of the asylum deal that we saw why acquittal house. terminated a series because they could get to break each part of the two sides of peace publications under the asylum treaty norms. the. during the time that the source i have remained anonymous and. almost seventy years we have respected every single right she house. she had her sons who joins us live from washington so she this is now not about extradition off the back of allegations of sexual misconduct to sweeten sole gone away completely but how many issues or how many potential charges of hacking to the u.s. authorities feel they might be able to get him on. well they're

alleging just one charge of hacking one count of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion but from the evidence they have in the indictment i mean it's rosabeth and this is the evidence that they have they say that some points while chelsea manning the whistleblower from the department of defense is a contractor for the department of defense who released all those tens of thousands of documents and videos which showed evidence of war crimes and all sorts of misconduct by the u.s. government in iraq afghanistan and around the world for that matter at one point chelsea manning said to doing this look this is this is about all i have off to this upload that's all i really have got left to which are solid replied according to the the indictment curious eyes never run dry in my experience and that in order to make its case that assad was actively helping trail see manning in in a hacking into the department of defense can computers we have this sentence a song indicated that he had been trying to crack the password by stating that he

had quote no luck so far i mean the more you look at that that will curious it gets so we're basically believing the d.o.j. that when he said those four words everything hinges on those four words no luck so far that was an indication in the dio dres point of view that he was trying to crack a password or a portion of a password that chelsea manning a given him so it's pretty slim stuff and the other part of the conspiracy that the u.s. government is alleging is this it was part of the conspiracy that of manning took measures to conceal manning as the source of the disclosure of classified records to we can fix so protecting the source on bad. why are you we have the lawyers from wiki leaks and other journalists organizations and others saying look wait a second protecting a source and encouraging a source for had over information that is in the public interest that shows it may be evidence of war crimes that sets a very dangerous precedent but what the dear jerry friends say is that we're not getting him for publishing the information because then we can to see how and i'm going to interrupt you there for which i do apologize because we're going live to

another story taking place in washington the south korean president mungy in meeting from. outside the white blank by the first lady what they're trying to do is to find some sort of common ground so they can i guess go back to approaching north korea because that talking about north korea's nuclear aspirations donald from the u.s. administration's fears about north korea's nuclear aspirations as well of course we've heard two headlining summits one of them in singapore of more than a few months ago you'll remember when mr trump was criticized when he got back to the states off the back of that summit that was the one there we covered it he goes on the night shift on doha time certainly here on al-jazeera english for you donald trump was criticized because he went back to the states and people said oh that's great you got the photo op you didn't get any developments there was then another summit and again.
