through what they said they would do to allow for a transition of power if this effort fails they will sink into a dictatorship from which there are very few possible alternatives it's a very delicate moment i want to stress again the president wants to see a peaceful transfer of power from the doro to go i don't know that possibility still exist if enough figures depart from the regime and support the opposition there john bolton also said that he does not view what is taking place in venezuela as any sort of who and when asked about some support on the ground for president nicolas maduro someone the united states does not support he said this is really just military fear of cuban security forces mcgirr is directing his thugs to conduct his affairs he went on to caution russia for its involvement as well in venezuela saying that they view the actions of russia in venezuela to be very

where they were there we are responsible and we have to take responsibility as a military council as a transitional 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 he 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 he to smash 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. and so far it has avoided an escalation that might lead to an armed confrontation. over the 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. but the young activists behind the mass protest movement that toppled president omar al bashir worry the military is buying time to prevent a civilian takeover. they say they want the army's role restricted and its influence contained during the transitional period. in a press conference on tuesday so that it's professional association denounced the military saying they have no desire to give up power to civilians here along with. the military council is not serious about transferring power to civilians but it's clear they want to keep power and retain it for themselves this is unacceptable the revolution did not take place in order to stop a unilateral military regime and another unilateral military regime therefore this will not be accepted it is not acceptable but strong statements that sound of

tomatoes have replaced the soft and optimistic language of the last few days casting doubts over the prospects of the talks that are now stalled until further notice. now a new round of talks between the taliban and the united states is due to get underway here in cata the state department has said its voice. is visiting doha here made representatives of the afghan groups this will be the sixth round of talks between the two sides who are trying to find a framework for peace for afghanistan so far the afghan government's been excluded from the dialogue are being go live now to our correspondent charlotte bellis is in the afghan capital kabul and charlotte how far do developments here in cattle in those talks between the united states and the taliban impact what's going on where you are as afghans themselves get a get their dialogue underway. well people here are watching it very closely the

last time the u.s. meet with the taliban was about six weeks ago then they discussed foreign troop withdrawal they also discussed the taliban not harboring any other groups in order for the u.s. to pull out we understand in this round sources tell us that they will be discussing a cease fire not just a couple of days we're talking a number of months now this all happens while the loya jirga is hosted here in kabul the loya jirga a grand assembly of more than three thousand people who have been brought together here in kabul the high end to me to talk about should these talks go well with the u.s. what would the afghan government's position be what would their negotiating position be what do these people think they should prioritize what should they read line speed in talks with the taliban joining me now is the head of the loya jirgah also the secretary of the high peace council mr donaldson i thank you for joining us thank you charlotte. so you must be watching these talks and or how closely starting today what are your thoughts on the oh of the afghan government is still

most representative loya jirga of the afghan history we are hoping that taliban would. change their view of looking at the post trinity that the government is offering them for face to face talk and they would look at the demand of these people sitting there are asking taliban in gomen to declare immediate cease fire sitting here in doha in kabul watching these talks a place and or her as a representative of the afghan government do you feel sidelined no not really because we are put in picture by the us government maybe not to the level that is expected by us but this time of the numbers was here. i met him one on one and he shared with me and he met with president in his team and he met with the representative of the civil society of the political elites so he is sharing information. what pleases the main worry is that these
