hostage by their relatives but does it own neighborhoods have turned it into a better the zune their water at the houses they've lived to behind could be destroyed in the fighting. the more that do hate and tripoli. the u.s. secretary of state has met venezuelan refugees in a colombian but what a talent is he once again called on president nicolas maduro to step down my compost as the u.s. will use all economic and political pressure to hold the world to account and he was in the city of course with us to wrap up a four nation tour latin america with the goal of further isolating the are. the united states will continue to utilize every economic and political means at our disposal to help the venezuelan people using sanctions vsa revocations and other means we pledge to hold the regime and those propping up accountable for their corruption and their repression of democracy we are deeply aware of the recent intimidation tactics used by the material regime this past thursday but that all

should know we are watching and our support will not waver. meanwhile venezuela's political and economic crisis continues today panic water shortages and rising inflation and making life even harder for many but as your model child reports from caracas communities are working together to try and cope. for decades many working class venezuelans have had to collect water from points like these at the bottom of the mountains that surround the valley that is correct the country's infrastructure has forever been underdeveloped however in recent weeks the number of those queuing up to gather water has noticeably increased several electricity blackouts has meant that water plants haven't been pumping to homes across the capital was bilis nearest comes here once a week with her two children despite being economically secure they wait for more than an hour with their buckets and containers. i've been coming

more often in recent weeks because there's no water when we have water in our building it's not drink we use it for other areas but we can't drink it. what's confounded the problem even more is that caracas has witnessed an unusually dry period with no rain reservoirs like this have dried up. but the government sees the main reasons for the water crisis are subject sores and the u.s. imposed sanctions aimed at turning the people against president nicolas maduro and you. will see that they want people to explode and turn against the government to justify a possible military intervention and the us government spokesperson is openly stated that the purpose of these sanctions is to make people suffer. to offset this and more importantly seemingly to win people's hearts the government is providing heavily subsidized goods and services to poor venezuelans in a room on the second floor of one of the hundreds of thousands of buildings that sprawl the many favelas scattered across venezuela

a group of pro-government activists old school uniforms children's clothes and other garments as part of an initiative set up under former president hugo chavez similar uniforms are sold in the shops for around twenty seven dollars these are offered for a mere thirty cents their work orders have increased drastically since the u.s. sanctions kicked in these activists also run a control center where they receive requests for help from local residents and monitor things like water shortages. we monitor and listen to people's needs and with the help of the government we don't provide for them it's not surprising that giovanni is a loyal supporter of the government were not for hugo chavez and his socialist revolution he would never have been able to get a university degree he tells me. the american sanctions are not hard to government they're hurting or people if america wanted to help the people they wouldn't impose those sanctions. for a country with the largest oil reserves in the world you'd expect living standards

here to be high but the reality is the basic things like water aren't always available now opponents of president maduro put that down through mismanagement and corruption by a socialist government that's been in power for years but there's no denying that u.s. sanctions have played their part and devastating the venezuelan economy and preventing the country from developing i'm sure you are just caracas still ahead on the bulletin the red cross calls for iceland to release a new zealand aid worker kidnapped in syria almost six years ago plus. i'm going to be jakarta way to meet you down preparing to vote in an election that for many will be about the economy and trying to decide whether the current president has done enough to improve their lives.

they flatly answered no on the circumstances and then you have to remember that throughout the electoral campaign the blue and white lists really positioned themselves as attacking benjamin netanyahu as a person as they say his divisive policies his racial policies and also attacking came on these corruption charges and looming in the i mean come july now these consultations will continue for the next forty eight hours at the end of that process then president ridley will call in the person that was most recommended to form this coalition government and no surprises there it will be benjamin netanyahu because he does have the numbers on paper then at that stage that person benjamin netanyahu will have twenty eight days to form a government. the later a feminine social democratic party has declared victory in the country's general

see. these days it's so difficult for me to make a living we don't have enough money for tomorrow's food if we don't work today only wait to see three dollars a day or the economy has been one of the main points of debate during this six month election campaign it's growing at around five percent which is short of what the president was aiming for body enough he says to earn a second term in office. to continue to develop the economic independence of indonesia. jacoby's main focus has been on infrastructure development like the opening of an underground train line in jakarta which was first proposed more than thirty years ago. on the campaign trail joko widodo has spent much of his time trying to sell voters on the economic achievements of his government over the past five years which he says has led to the lowest unemployment rate in twenty years his opponent has opted for a much more populist approach. like the last election in two thousand and fourteen

scene long. in the center of khartoum the sudanese capital is the uprising continues but many of the civilians fear the security forces could be preparing to break up their city in. fear and despair grips thousands of libyans displaced by the fighting close to the capital tripoli. french weapons used to target yemeni civilians a new claim by an investigation using secret intelligence documents and i'm peter simmons with all the sports with tiger woods celebrates a memorable masters when three years after his last major victory many are calling it sports greatest ever comeback. protector revolution that's the rallying cry of protests in sudan who feel their

job is still only half down they've been camping outside the military's headquarters in khartoum for two weeks now but they fear the security forces could be about to start breaking up their city now the protesters say they want the new military leaders to immediately hand over power to a civilian government the military council is asking political parties to agree on an independent figure who could be the interim prime minister meanwhile deposed president omar al bashir his close aides our had been out of he is now stepped down as the defense minister he briefly taken charge as the interim leader after bashir was removed in the coup last week. all right let's go now to our correspondent in the city in these capitol hill more than get the very latest so first of all bill we're seeing a live shot all the outside the army headquarters in central khartoum where people seem to be milling around fairly contentedly what is the situation because we hear

that some people are afraid that perhaps the security forces are about to start forcing them to to end this in. yes martin has been speaking to activists and people at the protest site in front of the army headquarters from the early hours of the morning and they're saying that the military is trying to remove the barricades now let's just go a few days back this barricade ten days ago was placed by protesters when they decided to stage a sit in in front of the army headquarters to demand that the army take a side again with them to side with them against president obama. regime and demand that he step down from power we know that it took about six days for it for that to finally happen but remember on the third and fourth day of the sit and security forces try to breach the barricades and try to disperse the protesters and fire at them before the military responded to protect the protesters so for the people in front of the army headquarters who plays the barricade there that barricade is

there to protect them and stop them from being dispersed by military forces or security forces now the army spokesman said in. yesterday after the meeting of the political of the military council with political parties and this is what he said about the protesters and they're sitting right now in front of the army at headquarters. 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 still stands having said that if we find people with weapons of course we have to bear the responsibility as get into wars 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 and so here but just remind us again then of what the exact situation is at the moment in the square outside the army headquarters. there is a bit of attention martin people are concerned that the military despite their promise not to use force to disperse them but this is exactly what happened there is saying that this means that their revolution is far from over their victory is not complete and they are planning to stay there and tell the military council and now it says that there will be a civilian government and a transit a civilian transitional government handed over that will be independent of course the military council and political parties met yesterday more meetings are expected in the coming days but there are concerns about how the transitional government will run the military council is for proposing that this transitional government should be under their supervision something the political parties are rejecting and people outside of the streets are saying that they're waiting for calls from the sudanese professional association not a political party but the body that has been spearheading the calls for protests

over the past four months now that that body is saying that the protests are far from over that unless the military council says that a civilian government is in place an independent government is in place and until the promise to abolish the national intelligence and security services and hold every single member of the previous regime accountable for the crimes then there are volution is far from over but at the moment martine the mood outside is a bit tense people are worried that the military will use force and they're saying that they will mount a move from in front of the army headquarters and till they hear that there is a civilian government in place that is independent. thank you very much indeed for the latest from two we're actually looking at the live picture as i introduce to you. jane whose name list on sudanese affairs and he's with me in doha watching these pictures live and it seems very much the correspondence is saying that the mood changed in that square outside the army headquarters. yes.

you know let us not forget that this happened during a very delicate process which. you know demands from the street and responses from the military council and some thomas the responses might. somehow be met with some sort of a welcome sometimes these responses are not very. welcome by the way i understand there's a ten there's a ten member team that is leading the negotiations i'm just wondering whether there is any danger of the there being fragmentation between the political parties on the one hand and the professional association on the other insofar as they don't seem to be singing from the same exactly the same hymn sheet at the moment yes i think the the situation why i am saying is that if they could because remember these

protests was led by this decision of the professionals but also backed by the political parties and there were several political groupings leading to this this moment they don't have a clear agreement on the way forward before they had an agreement on they don't want this the previous regime so that was a very clear but then the way forward is so many issues of disagreement and i think it's going to be a very delicate process my sense is that as long as the u.s. and the other people general people the public is there i think they're going to force them to come to some sort of. a consensus on the key issues which comes when it comes to what are the powers of the military council versus the powers of the civilian government who's going to lead the civilian government and who are they going to be the part of the government but also let that does not forget that the

transition period. should have a very clear idea of what exactly they should that needs to be addressed we are in a country that going through crisis that needs to be addressed we have conflicts in therefore in the nuba mountains in the blue nile we also need reforms of they looked at our system so there are so many issues that need to be it is going forward so this is what the transitional period needs to address the fundamental rutan branch reform of the country of the countries institutions but do you feel that perhaps the the uprising if you like in the end the uprising leaders you feel that this is just a negotiating position because it sounds at the moment they're not prepared to compromise on the makeup of this council and the military by contrast seems to be seems to be offering an awful lot of concessions yes i think that is. correct i think it's more about a negotiation position because in this process without some sort of agreement with

with that with the military council he cannot go move forward and the people outside also there are waiting to see this process remember sudan. when sued to transitions before and to fail to fall into a stable democracy at this time this is the third time the political class are under pressure to deliver something sustainable and this cannot be delivered without some sort of a negotiation and a look at agreeing on something that the military can back and this is video and so i thought before you made you made mention of those conflict areas there is areas like doubtful which have seen conflict for the nihil in twenty years how fall is the uprising reaching out to the people in these areas and what is their position on what's been going on in in the major cities while i'm in the when it comes to

the issues of darfur would remember that when the uprising started back in december all the armed groups supported the protest. however since saddest day when the removal of the former president we haven't seen clear statements for four from the rebel groups the guarding the the situation that unfolded since. thursday and this is the remains of one area of a trial and that. the military council and the put the opposition groups who are leading the civilian side needs to reach out to these armed groups in darfur in the blue nile in the noble mountains and involve them because this process has to be inclusive in order that whatever results out of this these groups needs to be part of it so that the country can enjoy some sort of stability otherwise if there are excluded at this estate they will have to then confront the new reality because once a government is installed in the next few weeks then they have to deal with the new

reality whether in that for a new or mountain or in the blue nile and i think it would be much better if they are included at this is stage because it is in the you really to be informed and they have to be part of salah al-din saying thank you very much and if you now to libya where a number of fighters loyal to the warlord tell if i have to have reportedly handed in their weapons and army vehicles to forces loyal to the other side to the u.n. backed government in tripoli the two sides have been fighting for control of the capital since earlier this month we go live now to mahmoud he's there in the libyan capital and said can you tell us any more then about these reports of defections and the handing over military equipment to the government of national court. well martin military commanders with the government of national accord saying.
