happy with saddam's military council has agrees with opposition groups to a 3 year transitional period the opposition will have a 2 thirds majority in parliament but the 2 sides set yet to decide on the make up of the sovereign council the board say that will guides the transition have a morgan reports now from khartoum. after 2 days of talks back started on monday and violence that resulted in the deaths of protesters and injury of at least $200.00 the 2 sides into dan's quest to form a transitional government announced more progress a little father i like garments all of which agreed on all the powers given to the servant council the council of ministers and the legislative council and we have agreed that a transitional period will last for 3 years. the transitional military council which has been governing sudan since the overthrow of the country's 30 year president and the opposition coalition which has been demanding the council hand

power to a civilian rule and say a final agreement will be signed before the end of wednesday make this a sovereign council which will be formed in consultation between the military council and the forces of the declaration of freedom and change and the cabinet of ministers and a consultative council 66 percent of which will be allocated to forces of freedom in china. i was minutes after the announcement was made thousands celebrated in front of the army headquarters they've been camped there for nearly 6 months initially to demand the military take action against the country's president then to demand that they hand over power to civilian government after they ousted the president since sunday they have been increasing pressure on both sides to reach a deal by calling for strikes and setting up barricades on main streets in the capital sort of to the to this announcement didn't cover all points of contention the final point that the military council and the opposition coalition have to

agree on is the structure of the south frank council which will be guiding the transitional period people here say if the military doesn't agree to having a civilian head that's council then protests will continue. they also have other questions they want answered and other demands they want to response to another one who like to know who is responsible for guaranteeing the results of this agreement between the military council and the coalition of freedom and change the coalition of freedom and change represents the interests of the people in the street. when they announce tomorrow that the deal is done in our revolution will be complete we need to get justice for all our martyrs that's when our revolution will be complete with all the demands in new concerns one thing people agree on is that this announcement brings them closer to the civilian government that they've started the revolution for more than ever before morgan i'm just there. well for more on this let's think. he's a lecturer at the university of kill in the united kingdom and joins me now i thank

you so much for speaking to as a hero knowledge is 0 1st i'm going to get your reaction see these developments would you say we're heading in the right direction. absolutely i think the fact that you know the current college and of opposition groups which also includes a number of arm of movement who will be fighting against the same military regime there are people shifting winds and the military council reaching a deal on the basic outline of the institutions that will lead the transition i think this is an excellent tone of mint and it is certainly. a decision or an argument that would put. on their i pods that we have been seeing lots of celebrations here but how much progress as i actually been made we've gone from a 2 year transition period that protesters were on happy with what i was 3 year transition periods and there are still sticking points with the make up of the

sulfur and cancel. it's too early to celebrate think political transitions are very complex processes it's not just about overthrowing one particular out or italian government it's about beauty in the new institutions building a new culture shaping people's perceptions an attitude is invading a new principle these are not going to be easy especially in countries like like sudan for example where you have deep it and it divisions where you have an authoritarian system that divided societies and trialed on the basis of divide and rule for more than 30 years so it is going to be very difficult and i think you know if the military has come this far i don't think at this stage agreeing on the composition of the soaring council is going to be very difficult i think some of the most complex questions are whether the military would agree 200 power over

civilian rule so if they are money to concede on that point i think they will find a way to agree on the composition of the soaring council well let's stay with that points of either the city's military have played a big part in ruling the country for for decades do you think it's likely they will yield power and step into the backgrounds. i think it is good to be very complex going to be very difficult. the opposition at the moment seems to have the momentum it seems to have public support it is the voice that represents the larger society and given i think international paper and also regional issues it would be very difficult to make

a comeback for those. been part of the former game and the members of the quality not already making it clear that former members of the regime should not have any part in the transition going forward. we'll have to leave it there professor alan but thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us on al-jazeera as allo allo joining us from university. sensi some other news developing this hour the state department has always as all non-emergency governments employees to leave iraq immediately this comes amid rising tensions in the region last week the u.s. deployed warships to the gulf and in the it said rules it responds to indications of threats from iran will rob matheson is standing by for us in baghdad we can cross. the u.s. withdrawing all non-emergency personnel what more can you tell us about this latest developments. but we understand that they're making this announcement specifically

for embassy personnel here in baghdad in the green zone which is not far from where i am and also the consulate in libya what we have not yet heard is what's going to happen to the consulate in basra but at the moment it is concentrating on those personnel we're not yet sure it's precisely how many personnel that's going to affect the numbers can change and at one point the u.s. was in the process some years ago of attempting to draw down the number of consulates stuff and bases stuff that it had in iraq so those numbers have been fluctuating or what is not also done yet is make an announcement for other u.s. citizens here in iraq who might be working in the oil and gas industries or in construction for example it's at the moment only the non-emergency stuff in the embassy in baghdad in the embassy the consulate in arbil who are being warned to leave the country by commercial means that means by commercial flights as quickly

as possible now this is a significant ramping up of the rhetoric here in baghdad but in a sense perhaps it's not surprising given the situation that the u.s. is facing in terms of the terms of its standoff with iran but of course embassies in any country are always essentially marked down as targets all the time so security processes are always in place the last. a u.s. embassy was struck here in iraq it was actually the u.s. embassy which is as i say just a few kilometers a few 100 meters rather over from where i am now is back in february when 2 rockets were fired at the u.s. embassy here in baghdad that came in the back of u.s. president donald trump saying that he intended to keep u.s. troops in iraq in order to watch iran that was something that as you can imagine incensed iran and incensed the shia groups many of the shia groups here in iraq which are close links with iran but it also incensed the iraqi government as well

because it said that was an affront to its sovereignty and only iraq could decide what foreign troops if any would entitle to be here the whole situation that we're facing at the moment as far as the iraqis themselves are concerned is that this is a situation that the iraqi people do not want to be in but they have long feared that the u.s. and iran are going to be in the midst of a faceoff which could increase could get come more tense and their country is going to be right in the middle of it tehran will have to leave it there but thanks very much for joining us from baghdad meanwhile iran's supreme leader says he doesn't swan's war with the united states but i it's so that the company is refusing to negotiate despite this rising tension between washington and tehran junky. there is not going to be any war neither we nor them seek war they know it will not be in their interest negotiating is poisonous as long as the us continues with the same course of action

a negotiating with the present american government is twice as poisonous. answer iran has officially pulled some of its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal or in sources have indicated that iran has no resume your anian enrichments and heavy water production on the nuclear agreement iran had to limit these 2 activities for president rouhani has given his european allies a 60 day deadline to honor their commitments that china has reported slower than expected economic growth in april that's a period before higher u.s. trade tariffs took effect who thought seeing 5.4 percent last month that's a drop from an 8.5 percent growth rates back in march edging brain as this updates from beijing. well these figures will worry china's leaders because they demonstrate that in april there wasn't much confidence among chinese consumers in

fact the figures for retail sales were the worst in 16 years and that's a worry for china's government because at the moment it's trying to convert china's economy from one based on manufacturing to one based on consumption also down was industrial manufacturing output that fell from 8.5 percent to 5.4 percent meanwhile president xi jinping has been addressing a conference here in beijing entitled dialogue of asian civilizations the theme very much asia for asians this conference another example of chinese soft power now the thrust of president xi jinping speech was essentially that all civilizations are equal and that all civilizations should treat each other with respect. the no civilization is superior over others the thought that one's own race and civilization is superior and the inclination to remove or replace other

civilizations is just stupid and meanwhile the state media here in china continues to maintain a very defiant and strident tone and for the 1st time in several months is referring to a trade war as opposed to trade tensions but not naming president trump not blaming president trump blaming the u.s. government and not blaming the u.s. people either now it still seems very likely that president xi jinping and president donald trump will meet at the g 20 summit in osaka in japan at the end of june but analysts are warning the by then the damage to the relationship could be very serious indeed. still to come on al-jazeera. i'd say palestinians call the catastrophe siren signs for $71.00 seconds one for each year since the creation of israel. and they will more die in venezuela's opposition

groups to a 3 year transitional period civilians will now have a 2 thirds majority in parliament it's insides have yet to decide who will guide the transition and china has reported slower than expected industrial growth in april that was before higher u.s. trade tariffs took effect growth in that sector still to 5.4 percent that's a drop from an 8.5 percent growth rate back in march. and more than 60 people have been arrested after a wave of attacks against muslims in sri lanka the police chief has warned that officers will respond with maximum force to what he called rioting modes that have killed one person tensions have been high since the easter sunday bombings which killed at least 250 people in all from and as has more from colombo. police and the military are continuing to crack down and hunt out those who were responsible for

the violence outbreak in mainly the northwestern province but obviously around the country now a key thing about this latest outbreak of violence according to many people both eyewitnesses those involve the victims is that yes the christian community had to be in sort of angry frustrated after the easter sunday bombings but the we did these attacks sort of unfolded in the last couple of days it just does not seem to be a spontaneous sort of outpouring of that emotion of many people pointing to the fact that they were all going to is groups in many cases even according to one of the local villagers that spoke to our jazeera these groups seem to have been brought from the outside villages or different areas and there was a say a sort of a constant and an organized targeting of those in the muslim community and this is a reason for concern arrests particularly of 2 key figures who had been

identified as those involved in previous and to muslim violence basically violence that broke out in the central part of last year those people also being arrested obviously brought in for questioning pointing to the fact that this has gone beyond a spontaneous sort of an outpouring of emotion the police so far having over 60 people in custody a number of those people being produced before the magistrate as the law enforcement and the net and the ring tightens to bring them to book. as well as supreme courts has called for for more opposition m.p.'s to be strips or immunity so they can be tried for treason police small time the opposition controlled national assembly in the capital minutes before position they don't want to. i was due to lead a session to see a new man has more from caracas. it was his last chance to speak in public before

going underground minutes earlier opposition deputy economist but only had been stripped of his legislative immunity so that he can be tried for subversion. all the regime knows how to persecute the national assembly but we won't surrender it won't fall to its knees and give up the struggle for freedom that we have begun. with with that he left joining 13 other opposition deputies who by their gone into hiding asked for political asylum in embassies or been imprisoned since losing their immunity just in the last week of the. proponents of president last month the day had begun badly they discovered they'd been locked out of the now powerless legislature the only institution they control the national assembly building is directly behind me but since early this morning police and national guardsmen have been allowed anybody to go inside one officer told me that it's because the bomb squad is inside but according to opposition deputies who were due

to be meeting there today this is just a ploy another attempt they say by the government to intimidate them. the deputies gathered in an adjacent building as a handful of government supporters shouted insults. we are here to raise our voice against those traitorous. president madugalle has targeted the deputies who form part of the opposition leader. tightest inner circle but remains defiant vowing to convene the assembly again on wednesday. if we have to hold our stations on the streets we will but the federal state of palace belongs to the parliament to the people. and we want to announce it do they have brute force on this side obviously yes but that will not dissuade us no matter what they do to us. why the all says

embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and it also coincides live on my military that are coming from the so-called the last century the u.s. is planning to leave in a month or so in this is that we've read in many media outlets that the right of return is not even a right of the palestinians consider this. i told american attempt to raise their right of return and forward these refugees what marketing here today it's worth noting also of the u.s. has come to the support for the un agency that cares 2 for that if you change the policy of refugees who are estimated to be about nearly half of the population across the world we have 13000000 palestinians across the world but nearly half of them are refugees so they fear that medical. aid and the right of return. needs are very noisy where you are but to just tell a 71 years on just how was the future looking for the palestinians the.
