a new civilian prime minister i said president omar al bashir is party will not spill lights to join that transitional government's handling of the farm bill we do not call for the removal of demonstrators by force in fact the reason we intervened in the first place was because force was used by the ousted regime but our call to everyone who is organizing the protests to bring life back to normalcy stilts. than us having said that if we find people with weapons of course we have to bear the responsibility as guarantors of the state we can't allow that to take place in order to protect the protesters outside the army headquarters or anywhere in the land of sudan as long as the protesters are allowed to demonstrate we bear the responsibility of protecting them and won't allow any third party to do so. or morgan has more now from khartoum. after the meeting between the political parties and the military council the military council said that it was optimistic but look

at what some political parties are saying that their list of demands have not been met now one point of course the contention between the two sides is how the transitional government would look like for the next two years the council wants a government that is made of civilians but where it has a certain degree of influence while the political parties want an independent government to wrote to rule the country during its transitional period a year to decide the way or the mandate or the method of the of picking up a prime minister something that the council says is up to the political parties but the parties have to agree on how they will decide on a prime minister and how they will decide on the make up of the cabinet meanwhile the sudanese professional association the body that is spearheading the calls for protests are telling people to continue with this attempt for the ninth day in a row people are saying that there their list of demands is not yet met they don't want there is a nation they are not ok with the resignation of the former chief of intelligence. they want the complete abolishing of the national intelligence and security

services they also want to see the former regime members being tried in the open they want to know who is being arrested what crimes they committed and if they will have a fair trial and be held accountable to all crimes that they've committed during their fifty years in power so at the moment it's not just the political parties in difference with the military council but there seems to be some kind of differences between the parties themselves and until they get together and find a way to form a transitional government many on the street say they will continue to protest well into the shah is an international law and politics analyst she says the situation remains charged on the political level. i think that every day and every announcement give us a little bit more clarity but the situation remains very volatile and there are still many different ways it could resolve itself so i don't think we're really on the clear path just yet i believe that the latest announcements are generally

positive but it is still i would say concerning that. there is a general ham out to be who is known to have been very violent and brutal and are for and is in charge of the rapid support forces still considered part of the military council and some of the insistence by the military council that they will retain control of the military and the ministry of interior and so i think it remains to be seen just just how many concessions they're willing to me there are many different disaggregated militias and security forces in sudan and it's not entirely always clear what their orders are and where they're coming from we still don't really know where omar al bashir is and under what conditions he has resigned and the same is true for the former head of the national intelligence service and. we're not sure how much freedom and influence these men still have as well as

many others who would be unacceptable as as having any kind of power to those who have been organizing the protests and to the opposition parties. libya is a un backed government forces say they've signed a fighter jets warlord hell if i have to or these pictures appear to show the aftermath in southern tripoli after us forces however say the plane crashed into the fence of earlier this month to take control of the capital. of the well has has more now from tripoli. military commanders with the government of national called in tripoli say that they have shut down. fighter jet this has been also confirmed by half those forces who say the fighter pilot managed to escape with a parachute apparently a fighter jet was shot down near an area near the disused airport in and
