demands for the president to end his thirty year rule bashir declared a state of emergency in february which reduced the revolt against him. but since saturday thousands of demonstrators have been camped outside the military headquarters in khartoum. close to 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 demand for bashir to go and is also determined not to allow chaos the. demand has increased the number of participants of the people has infused as well there was more. action to the military and 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

hours after the announcement the military council was sworn in led by the defense minister ahmed off marking the start of a transitional period set to last for two years but the takeover isn't welcomed by some protesters on the streets who say they want to accept a military transitional government a sentiment echoed by some opposition leaders have pointed out in the statement read by the minister of defense is categorically rejected by us we will not accept a half victory we need a whole and 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 paving the capital and everywhere nationwide don't be scared and don't retreat we will continue our path until the end of. a curfew came into effect at ten pm local time but hundreds defied it into new and with the city and in front of the army headquarters demanding

a change to the hours old transitional council minister denise fear that with al bashir gone and many rejecting the new military government there could well be that chaos army commanders want to avoid people more going on to their own hearts on. the africa center first study says protesters want the military to reform. no i think we've seen transitions in a number of african countries but this one is a little different because the sudanese people have made it clear that they have jackson is not just an individual it is to a system really be eager for institution governance that do represents them and institutions of governance as one of the. protesters so aptly put it they would like to have a government that roof over them and the military that watches over them so that distinction is really clear in the minds of this is in these people and so a transition has to have incorporate those to our states protests it's not possible

it technocratic governments names have been floated and but i think we have to look back and this is just be this into the announcement that. the new ministers about to topple the regime and every gene that they're othar. power and so there is an inconsistency there that the who off the right really really honestly do believe that it's really having you know incident this is something different international rights groups are calling for sudan's military to hand over at the ousted president to the international criminal court omar al bashir faces charges of war crimes crimes against humanity and genocide in the darfur region. i think there's a better chance of omar old bus years appearing in the dock at the i.c.c. as a result of what happened today he certainly invoked i mean again the legal

argument that he was head of state and as a sitting head of state he was the immune from arrest warrants or be brought before a court. founder julian assange has been convicted in the u.k. for skipping bail he was arrested at the ecuadorian embassy where he's been confined in recent years he now faces extradition to the u.s. or a challenge supports on one. 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 offices hold him out again ecuador had 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 fame with mr sanchez in the police cells

he wants to thank all of his supporters today ongoing civil wars 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 this health has been undermined in all this stuff but fortunately he was brain and here's a new system to nice job principles a missing debit and not enough away for you know and he's afraid to fly joining us on she has his supporters here in the u.k. but the district judge here in this case was known one of them he said that a sound his behavior was that of a narcissist you cannot go beyond his own self interest you found him guilty of the charge of skipping back in twenty twelve and has sent his case to the crown court

for sentencing the more serious extradition process will 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 words amused by people who think of us as the patients of ecuador has reached 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 al-jazeera london today gordon served as director of national security and donald trump's two thousand and sixteen presidential campaign he says the songes case is not a threat to journalists who publish stolen material. well i think a lot of people would conflate what he's been charged with which is computer fraud which is conspiracy for the hacking into a classified defense department systems computer systems in conjunction with a young soldier in the army named bradley manning at the time who's transformed to chelsea manning since those days but that's a very different thing than publishing stolen information so he's not being charged with publishing stolen information he's being charged with computer fraud conspiracy for the hacking itself so yeah you bring up a good point i am concerned about it and people should focus on what the law is in the law is quite clear that you can't hack into classified u.s.

government systems we can lease kind of cuts across the spectrum for the entire world some people on the left love them some people on the left hate him some people on the right love him some people on the on the right hate him so what i think the standard should be though is did he break the law in the united states yes or no it is clear that he did also you know richelle a point that i'd like to bring up is you know when i was about five years old i learned don't bite the hand that feeds you and so he was staying at the ecuador embassy for seven years with asylum so what do you do he attacks the president of ecuador president merino by spreading around pictures of the president's bedroom pictures of the first lady pictures of the daughters what he eats i mean this is ridiculous that it pressed president merino to the point where he could not take anymore and workers in iran say u.s. sanctions are hampering their ability to help people hit by massive flooding southwest iran is suffering some of the worst flooding in decades and more rain is in the forecast the government has ordered tens of thousands of people to leave

their homes in the city have a vase that is the capital of christan province hundreds of villages in the oil rich province have also been emptied of people say misrata he has been monitoring the aid effort and the capital tehran. landing into her on the first flight for the u.n. high commission for refugees thousands of blankets cooking supplies sleeping mats and tents to help flood victims the u.n.h.c.r. works in iran primarily with refugee communities aid workers say at times like this helping with flood relief is the right thing to do but it was not easy u.s. sanctions meant weeks of extra bureaucracy. almost a few weeks ago now to the most heavy falls happens you can still see differences here impact. for example behind me to reverberate there's also civil. on the sites i have a few nobody communities especially communities closer to reverse where water is so
