evicted and under arrest wiki leaks founder julian assange elegies drac from the ecuadorian embassy in london and convicted in court iran struggles to cope with its worst flooding in decades aid workers say u.s. sanctions are hampering their response on the world's largest election indians start voting in a major popularity test for prime minister narendra modi. a new interim leader has been installed and sit down after a military coup and did the thirty year rule of president omar al bashir i wish it was arrested and he's being detained in what's being described as a safe place is big replaced by vice president and army general. a military council will run the country for a two year transitional period a three month state of emergency has been declared and nighttime curfew was imposed

though many have chosen to defy the first one that's now in force so the main protest group rejected the army statement and called for demonstrations to continue here morgan has more from khartoum. this was how the end of thirty years of rule looked when president obama bashir was deposed by his vice president and defense minister tanks trental through the capital cheered on by protesters followed by an announcement on state t.v. students forty million people had waited six hours to hear. being the minister of defense. the chairman of the committee to get rid of this regime and to read the head of the regime in a safe place i also declare the formation of a major training transitional council to supervise the to be a year of period. more than one hundred eighty others close to here happen arrested

and political prisoners released is a protester who was arrested by sudan's intelligence agents in january. a lot of emotion. not everyone. everyone will. finally there is hope for the country. higher bread prices provoked the first protests four months ago they quickly expanded into demands for the president to end his thirty year rule declared a state of emergency in february introduced a revolt against him but since saturday thousands of demonstrators have been camped outside the military headquarters in the tomb near the president's official residence at least twenty one people were killed when security forces tried to break up the sit in six of the dead are reported to be soldiers who intervened to defend the protesters from security forces the military high command has said it understands the demands for the shield to go and is also determined not to allow chaos what happened in the last twenty four hours it was obvious that the people

the demand has increased the number of participants of the people has infused as well there was more. action to the military in part of the leadership in particular and i think that put more pressure on the military institution as a whole for that reason i think they felt the heat and they have to make action i but the takeover is unwelcome by some protesters on the streets who say they want to accept and military transitional government a sentiment echoed by some opposition leaders in the way that. the statement read by the minister of defense is categorically rejected by us we will not accept a half victory we need to hold a complete victory as anticipated and wanted by our martyrs so we have decided to continue the sitting in front of the general command headquarters the citizens will also continue to take to the streets here in the capital and everywhere nationwide

don't be scared and don't retreat we will continue our path until the end. many sudanese fear that with al bashir gone and many rejecting the new government there could well be that chaos army commanders want to avoid people morgan argues era how to turn. well thousands of protesters on now ignoring that nationwide curfew and continuing the city outside the headquarters in the capital calling for an end to the bill that your group here's here again with more on what the protesters want we're seeing people still walking to the army headquarters from various routes they say that the very determined because in the end after four months of protest and five days of sets in where more than twenty people have been killed in the five days alone they say that this is not what they have been protesting for this is not what they've been asking they said that when they went to the army headquarters on the sixth of april and demanded that the army take a side they were hoping that the army would side with the civilians and would topple of bashir and his regime and people are first of all the and government

obviously that is not what has happened the announcement in the afternoon made it very clear that a military council is in control for the next two years and just over an hour ago a military council led by the defense minister our that was sworn in so right now as it stands for the next two years a military council will be the one leading the country so people are still by the thousands in front of the army headquarters we've heard a few gunshots fired earlier it's not clear if it was directed at the protesters or if it's just to try to scare them away from the army headquarters but the army did issue a statement in the past saying that they will not harm civilian lives and they will try to preserve the lives of those in front of the base so it's not clear what stance the army will take right now but as it stands those who have been there for the past few days are still very very determined to see a civilian transitional government in place rather than a military council alderney young is the director of africana studies at drexel university he says the continuing protests will be a major test for sudan's new interim leader. i mean i think tonight's

a very important night in the history of sudan i mean first of all we have to give credit to the protestors and their incredible organization and the sudanese professional association and making this change possible but tonight from everything i've heard and read and seen so far protestors and members of the street are defying the curfew and i think this is going to be a large test for the regime and even over and his legitimacy on whether or not he's able to clear the streets and and drive the protests and drive the demonstrators and protesters and those who have brought about this change. from the streets of khartoum but i don't think you'll be able to do it. a court in london has convicted the founder of wiki leaks for skipping bail in twenty twelve june a sound she pleaded not guilty faces up to twelve months in prison earlier the

forty seven year old was dragged from the ecuadorian embassy by police after ecuador's government revoked his asylum status we're chalons reports from london. they've been waiting a long time but seven years after julian assange first entered ecuador's london embassy to escape the british legal system police officers again ecuador finally tired of its troublesome guest and revoked his right to asylum within hours he was in a u.k. court and the u.s. confirmed it wants him extradited i just claim with mr sanchez in the police cells he wants to thank all of his supporters today on going to war and he said i told you so the wiki leaks founder always said if he left his ambassadorial refuge he'd spend years in jail in the u.s. he's wanted there for publishing government secrets but to a sandra's fans some high profile he's

a courageous whistleblower because he's been told she did not and will say his health it's been undermined in all this time but fortunately his brain and his new systems in this are principles are missing data they turn up and that's the way you know and he's a freedom fighter joining us on she has his supporters here in the u.k. but the district judge here in this case was not one of them he said that a sound his behavior was that of a narcissist you cannot go beyond his own self interest he found him guilty of the charge of skipping bail back in twenty twelve and has sent his case to the crown court to the sentencing to more serious extradition process. well get under way at the beginning of may in twenty ten wiki leaks published footage provided by whistleblower chelsea manning of u.s. soldiers killing civilians in iraq the u.s. said the hack posed a grave security risk but the website also leaked e-mails from the inbox of ecuador's president and first lady sanders hosts weren't amused by people who think

of us as the patients of ecuador has breached its limits on the behavior of mr song he installed electronic and distortion equipment that was not allowed he blocked the security cameras of the ecuadorian mission in london he has confronted and mistreated guards he had access to security files of our embassy without permission other former supporters won't forgive him for the twenty sixteen us election they think the wiki leaks publication of democratic party e-mails may have tipped it for donald trump and even though sweden has dropped sex assault prosecutions that led to his first u.k. arrest for some he'll remain a suspected rapist chalons how to zero london. well president says he knows nothing about wiki leaks despite praising the group repeatedly during his twenty sixteen presidential campaign that year where he leaks released stolen mails from the campaign of chance opponents hillary clinton should have

a chance he has the reaction from washington d.c. . it's been reported that obama era prosecutors decided they couldn't indict julian assange without indicting the act of journalism itself that is receiving classified information in the public interest but reveals evidence of war crimes for example of trump lawyers they think they have found a way they say that julian assange is guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion he was involved in the hack of department of defense computers but the that relies on three particular aspects one that encouraged chelsea manning to give him more information to the judas on protected chelsea manning's identity and already those two are causing concerns those two parts of the in time of the cause of concern among journalists because that would appear just to be drawn in the behavior not criminal behavior but three the trump prosecutors use these four words in the indictment no luck so far and they use

those four words to make the case that those words are discussing a sounders attempts himself to try and break a password or a partial password that chelsea manning supplied them it's pretty thin stuff there a lot for an extradition judge to consider because clearly if the u.s. is successful in extraditing judah songs from london then other governments around the world will also feel they're able to extradite journalists who print information that shows their governments in a poor light there's a lot riding on this. as there are children left behind just parents are forced to escape the crisis in venezuela to find work. the choices we face are stock and the timetable is clear one day off to me seeing the miniseries and tells you k. and peace time's running out to strike at grex e t.
