but i maintain every weekly news anchor brings a seemingly simple breaking. story and then of course there's donald trump. and it's the clouds channelise that's right out of a hamas script that calls for the annihilation of israel that is not what that phrase because he joined the least named post as we turned the cameras on the media focused on how they would vote on the stories that matter the most in bad news a free palestine a listening post on al-jazeera. you're watching al-jazeera remind the now of our top stories sudan's opposition groups are calling for people to rally after friday prayers the military has removed president

saw as i been saying what south and with a saw each and that will be a determination i would imagine mostly by the attorney general for his doing an excellent job so he'll be making a determination i know nothing really about him it's not my it's not my deal in life what yes. it is there i don't i don't really have any opinion and i know the attorney general will be involved in that he'll make a decision. jabbers dancy has more reaction out of 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 a 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 julian assange encouraged

chelsea manning to give him more information to the julian assange protected chelsea manning's identity and already those two are causing concerns those two parts of the in time of course the concerns 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 quote no luck so far and they use those four words to make the case that those words are discussing a sounders attempt himself to try and break a password or a partial password that chelsea manning had 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 juna stange 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. britain's prime minister has defended the decision to extend drags it until the end of october to resume a told parliament securing an old only exit from the e.u. required compromise the debate follows a late night decision by the e.u. to delay the case departure date by six months bernard smith reports from london. operation now granted an extension to britain's membership of the european union prime minister to resign may told parliament it was something she'd never wanted 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 the six month brags that

extension the e.u. has given the u.k. was longer than mrs may had wanted but shorter than that suggested by european commission president jean-claude juncker and other leaders the compromise was because of french president emanuel mccrum he'd said a long delay would undermine the project of european integration. u.k. opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn described the need for a second extension to bragg's it as a diplomatic failure but he said he was committed to continue talks with the government labor will continue to engage constructively in talks because we respect the results the referendum and we are committed to defending jobs industry and living standards by delivering a close economic relationship with the european union and securing frictionless trade with improved rights and standards mr korwin also left open the option of calling for a referendum on any deal with greed with the government if the political parties

agree a way forward then the u.k. could avoid taking part in european parliamentary elections and leave the e.u. before the october thirty first deadline even if both sides do find some way of coming together the e.u. withdrawal deal will still contain a clause guaranteeing an open border between northern ireland and the irish republic whatever happens in future e.u. u.k. negotiations and it's this backstop that has prevented previous attempts by the prime minister to get a deal through parliament and so far there's no indication that m.p.'s will be any less divided on this in six months and they are now. burnitz al-jazeera. pope francis says the feet of south sudan's rival leaders are urging them not to return to civil war the vatican has been hosting president salva kiir and opposition leader react machar to encourage them to strengthen peace efforts which are said the pope's unprecedented gesture has given them

president omar bashir had been arrested and removed from power ivanov also declared the constitution suspended and said the country would be ruled by the military for two years as the news broke tens of thousands of people took to the streets of the capital khartoum and jubilation. it came too late we've all been under israel for thirty years and feel the step came too late but everyone is happy no. none of these this revolution was achieved by the people. and only those two sources. say i'm going to. everyone will work for a better united sudan sudan is suffering from economic hardship. there are those who aren't so happy by the military action and say this is nothing more than a regime orchestrated who are joining us to discuss this from stafford virginia is sudanese journalist. and the khartoum dalia rubi is a member of the sudanese congress party and here in our studio ahmed could do

a ph d. student at george washington university welcome to the stream everyone it's good to have you here let's start with the sentiment in sudan summed up for many by this tweet on my laptop this is from inside it's a bittersweet day it had the potential to be the greatest day in our lives the sudanese but unfortunately we are still ruled by the military so there's a lot of work to be done by people at the sit in but then there's an aside here he wants us to still know we are happy bashir is gone for good. describe for us what that moment in the defense minister announced the toppling of the regime unquote what was that like for you. i mean i think the build up to it was more a story. we woke up pretty early in the morning thinking that we were going to hear some great news it took six hours we had the t.v. on and unfortunately we were faced with. and actually a us sanctioned. i'll show. from two thousand and seven

he's telling us that you know this is transition two years military regime as if nothing that we have said for years and now for the past six days and for the cost for months actually matter is and i think it angered a lot of us and we had a lot of hope at the beginning i mean the streets of up to here where. it was just incredible i don't think any of us will forget will forget these few hours we went spontaneously we went with so much hope. all from all walks of life coming in to gather we've got understanding that this is that we're going to see the real change that we're standing up for and it is unfortunate what's happening but what what's important is that we have not lost or is all we have no intention of backing down we hope. we don't hope we actually know that change will happen i'm being emotional

i know but change will happen because i think we deserve it and i think that the use of spoken very clearly for all these months it's not the time to back down. yet and i think yeah i it's a it's a i think it's kind of a very what's the word it's a very it's a very confusing but time but there's still hope there's there's still a lot of determination i think that statement announcement was a lot of a lot of determination right then more of a kind of push back the more we're actually pushing forward and insisting. we will be going forward and i think that it's very inspirational to see especially the youth who have been born actually after that came and to see them so inspirationally leading the way and showing us that they're willing to fight all the way for change peacefully fight for change right was an inspiration and then being the ruling party there you spoke about the youth and i'd actually like to

hear from one of those here because actually still there in the sit in as we speak that she sent us an audio comment on on why she's there and how she's feeling and i think what you are talking about is some of those emotions the hope and the anger as represented in her comment have a listen. good evening this is an abraham from sudan her term reporting from. sittin in front of the general command of the armed forces headquarters we're still here we're still angry we're still frustrated we're not happy we're not satisfied with the outcome of the. what we could only call a recycling of the same regime that we've taking out to the streets against and we will be here until we get our demands and the committees on the ground are urging activists to stay away from being too noticeable which is why you didn't see her face and that comment there but i spent to talk to us about the emotions that that you just heard from valley and you heard from the protester there at the sit in

that kind of rollercoaster ride i think there's a lot of highs and lows people anticipated a total transformation because the demands have been very clear from the beginning people have said we want the regime to collapse we don't want an alternative that is a face lift to the regime and unfortunately the announcement itself what it showed us is that the region was so strategic in basically recreating itself it also announced the four major elements of the regime or the pillars of support which were the military the nys with its current head the police and the rapid support forces the ourself this is a militia bashir created in the wake of the door for conflict or genocide. to support his regime now these four pillars basically are still in power but without the facade which is the few individuals that were arrested i think there

were a couple things that many people work spectating for example the movement that actually spearheaded the transformation the professional association was completely sidelined and ignored by the military. this was the movement that actually forced the military to make this move along were you expecting was like a nod to validate that that meant well saying that if you don't understand absolutely people expected that this movement that brought us here needs to be a part of this moment and they weren't which was a huge disappointment and i think that at this stage people are not going to accept anything short of a full inclusion of the civilian opposition parties there are the signatories to the freedom and chain charter which was written by the professionals and signed by the vast majority of the civilian and some of the armed opposition groups in fact

in the unified behind this movement unfortunately they're not playing a role at the stage which is very disappointing so before we go too much further i'm hoping you can tell us a little bit more about this minister of defense we have this week from oh say from dean a former stream gas and a member of the diaspora he says this is a symptom of larger issues lack of strong institutions and political accurate and this is a bad remakes to the sheriff team and an insult to the sudanese people the defense minister was handpicked by al bashir after the revolution began and he's an alleged war criminal so what do we know about general. who has it been a longtime member of the military and the government was there also. and if you don't mind for some time. he's going to be part of the surest close circle of allies and that's why he was brought in and the shortly after the

bashir step to a speech to be closer within the circles system. so i mean he was hand-picked in the anticipation i believe can be sheer force changes that were coming and. you know this this seems to be just as we shall be arrangements. heads of government rather than any genuine transformation or. acknowledgement of the necessity of transition into something new. so i want to share this because there are so many tweets on him and what this means khalid he writes changing faces doesn't change the character of a regime and so i think better to some better than this gift that a circulating online this is all of the ads which we did at the resemblance is impeccable physically and figuratively so slight tongue in cheek there but it is

a guess that is transposing on a bet she enters a photo with jenna general even a house photo and you can see what people online feel about this does that surprise you at all that you have the fact that this is what happened this is what is replacing how many bishop. i think they're a bit of bellemont of the pride we're more into related to who how much regard they had awarded that awareness and the political knowledge of the people in the street today. and pointed out i mean that history the history of sports that are being as part of the transition as well if i were going to tell we all a lot of people know about it and a lot of people have not not not know our expectation to follow it but i kind of wanted to go back to what i do a thing. related to their. to their sorry i keep forgetting i meant related to the declaration yeah so really it's exactly ration. i would say i would

kind of slightly disagree that that there hasn't been enough that been done the declaration the forces the signatories of the declaration went in on the eighth of april with their statement asking for five specific things number one is obviously the toppling of the regime or of it of bashir as well of the other points these this statement was read out in the sit in first day or the eighth and ninth as well as today. and people got a lot of you know they recognize that they've heard it and they've supported it and today they actually did a very clear call for people not to go home and this is going to continue until until the transition actually happens and i think it's very important for us to point out that there is an actual elected body with the professional association in it but as well as said the sudan poland and civil society alliance and

others the national national union as well. the conversation the conversation has been always kind of undermining the strength of this umbrella and how how much more clarity that we actually have on transition and i don't think people are recognizing that there is there is a lot of court. it's been done for the past few months and now there are clear lines and way forward for more civilian. engagement an actual transition that does not have to end bulk this extremely militant process for two years. there is there's definitely room for doubt this this alliance or these forces have how the position to speak internationally are really going to mend as well as to the. military yeah it's just i mean just to reiterate the point i was trying to make is that the military itself did not take these forces into account that is absolutely right the actors played a very central role they help mobilize people to hell.
