of cycling and mozambique. do not take the law into your own hands that is the warning from sudan's military council to protesters who were still on the streets calling for an immediate civilian government a news conference a short while ago the military council said it is negotiating with protesters and good faith. has more. sudan's generals war their patience has limits they want the protesters on the streets of the capital how to remove roadblocks checkpoints and allow trains to bring food supplies across the country where they were there we are responsible and we have to take responsibility as a military council as it once is no military council we have to protect the citizens and protect the law we will not accept any chaos or attack on civilians

and their properties and properties of the state and we will deal with this firmly and in accordance with the law this is what we wanted to clarify to the sudanese people we did not want to add insult to injury. the army's warning comes after talks with the opposition hit a snag the two sides have agreed to form a new body to run the country until the next elections the army wants a majority in the transitional body the young activists behind the mass protest movement the toppled president on battle bashir worry the military is buying time to prevent a civilian takeover. but despite its repeated warning to use force against the protesters the army has a fall of voided an isolation that's mike lee to an confrontation and. we have made many concessions for the sake of protecting our nation and preventing scenarios similar to what happened in neighboring countries we want to talk to end

quickly so that the tension deescalate this. but the military may have little options to prevent a descent into chaos on the streets pro-democracy activists remain defiant they say they want the army's role was stretched to and its influence contained during the transitional period for boast of its more than history sudan was run by bigotry man. millions hope that uprising will pave the way for civilians to take over zero. it's bring in mohammed all his life for us in khartoum so mohamed there's been this this press conference we've been covering that on the military council it seems to be perhaps ramping up the tension a little bit there were supposed to be more talks today have that has that happened is that going to happen. well if you're i can't hear your question very clearly but it's it is about whether the negotiations will resume

today nobody really knows what's going to happen because of those statements strong statements today by the head of the the deputy head of the military council and also because of the me good results of the negotiations yesterday when they came out from that meeting without clear agreements only statements. and counter statements about what was discussed we know that only two points have been agreed on so far or old in points in place upon the creation of a joint military council and the writing of a constitutional declaration every other detail is just kind of being discussed as you know that the them is in the details they have not agreed on the membership of the two sides how many members of each side they have not agreed on how many years the transition should take they have not agreed on any other specifics and the protesters are asking for drastically for those including judiciary reforms

including getting rid of even the entire security apparatus because they think that it is system functioning on behalf of the former regime of bashir today the military council as we all have heard has given those the statements in which he accused the protesters of being lacking seriousness about the negotiations and about finding a solution accusing them of lying to their base about what's going on accusing them of block in public roads the protesters of disrupting public or that and saying that the military is patients is running out in terms of what should be done to preserve law and order those statements have been received with a lot of anger among the protesters they took it as a message and hints that the military is about to take some. action to disrupt the city and of course the military said they're not intending to disrupt the sitting

but the protesters think that removing the roadblocks is the best step to words ending the sit in and the protesters their leaders in particular they think that the only strength they have in around the negotiation table is that people here in the city and on the streets of khartoum they think that said they people go home no single concession will be given to them by the military and they say they don't trust the military to talk about the long history of dictator military dictatorship in sudan and they say they see signs that history is repeating itself and that the military council is not intending to cede power to civilians all right mamma dalai for us and current him mohamed thank you. a protester censored and have reinforced barricades after organizers accused the military of attempting to break their said it ahmed joe has more for us from khartoum there was a confrontation all tied to sudanese military headquarters protesters attacking that demand for

a time to civilian rule to the gates of the building the tal's as the contest made it to be with us these after the transitional military council last fall the reopening of roads bridges and railways blocked by the protesters not order completely changed outposts way. almost immediately the protesters began reinforcing the body creates they say the military is a real intention is to disperse them. or to have all but no one can remove those barricades i have been put by the protesters to particular lives and i can remove it. until now this has been a happy place for weeks the protests the cops not here chanting and singing themselves hoarse they need peace justice and freedom as tension rises their message to the transitional military council is simply of a power and. the impact of the blockade of the old somebody created bridges is being felt across the cup at

a traffic gridlock song called one of the few streets in central called tune up and they follow solomon has been a taxi driver here for more than twenty years now. business is bad my income has gone down by up to sixty five percent since the roads were closed. foreman is sudanese the fault of going back to anything similar to the bush eighty years is unbearable until now the protests. have the protests not disruptive but. we would not have seen a close roads or even protests that didn't have grievances talks between the military council a position parties and protest organizers to form a transitional government continuing but no deal has been pushed up to several rounds of negotiations the most optimistic hope that the lack of a breakthrough is just another glitch in what is undoubtedly going to be

a long process on the talks will eventually bear fruit. out here. but they are certainly not going to. come about the wall just. venezuela's government says it's dealing with what it's calling a cool led by a group of soldiers police fired tear gas on the soldiers gathered near and they are airbase in caracas opposition leader says the final phase of a plan to oust president nicolas maduro has begun another opposition figure a way of asking for a from house arrest he says the military let him out. what is happening in the capital today as wilander who want freedom should come here just for up to order join and encourage our soldiers join our people good morning be it as well or let's do this together. through. the call is for everyone to come out into the streets at

this moment to give back into what we have built over the years when we are here now in the streets not only with the international community and not only our citizens but now with the national armed forces who are backing the citizens of the future and progress. across fondant joins us now from argentina so daniel it's clear something is happening the opposition has called for action do we know yet that it's really actually an attempted coup. well that's certainly how president nicolas maduro has defined it but he's quoting a small crew something that he and his forces are perfectly able to deal with we always knew this was going to happen the question always was when one way though it's been torrington this way look talking to opposition trying to gauge what kind of support he has among the venezuelan people and more importantly among the venezuelan armed forces and the police force you know busy things that now is the time and it's here in this very dramatic video outside the. base in caracas very

early this morning thinking now it was that time so we're now waiting to see what the response will be primarily from the military we know that he has some support from the military but will that be enough will this just be the opening of the floodgates will thousands more come out and support him he certainly hopes so will the venezuelan people come out onto the streets in sufficient numbers to show their support there's a rally anti-government rally planned for may the first that tomorrow he's hoping to see large numbers there the gates of luck a lot of road prince allow protests to go in and also waiting to see what the response is going to be from other countries he's declared himself the president he did that earlier this year to see what the response will be from neighboring countries like brazil colombia more importantly perhaps the united states there have been noises from these countries expressing various degrees of support for what some are calling a coup some of this calling. the government of this calling it is something that

they can control ok. site is argentina and for more on what daniel mentioned there about how other countries are going to react let's go to the u.s. where white house correspondent kimberly halkett joins us live kimberly the u.s. is firmly bent and one way to escort what has their reaction been to what's happening. yeah the reaction continues to to mount here in the united states the latest coming from president donald trump's very senior advisor kelly and conway speaking to reporters the driveway behind me in just the last hour she said that the white house is monitoring the developments in venezuela very carefully and that the united states supports the people of venezuela. and dural nicolas maduro the president of venezuela officially have to go now we should also point out that there has been other reaction coming from prominent trump administration officials including the national security advisor john bolton who urges the venezuela military to protect the constitution but interesting in all of this too is

a comment a recent comment from the spokesperson for the national security adviser who would not comment on whether or not there was an effort underway with the involvement of a mercenary army to try and topple nicolas maduro but there have been reports in the united states with regard to that in fact that the founder of blackwater a very controversial security firm founded by erik prince that he has been talking to trump supporters as well as wealthy venezuelan elite and that there has been this discussion so far though the united states not commenting on that what is coming out of the secretary of state's office in the form of a tweet from the u.s. secretary of state powell however is that u.s. government fully supports the venezuelan people in their quest for freedom democracy cannot be defeated is very clear that the united states the trumpet ministration is supporting what they say is the interim leader one guy though i can
