cancel this week which i think suggests that there are people in it who are demurring really from the you know old for violence perpetrated mainly but not exclusively by the rappers for forces i think a lot of the opposition are hoping for a split because that would mean that they will be weakened obviously the consequences of the spirit of course are something which could be very alarming because it could mean that there was actually street fighting in hot tomb between factions of the army. if there was a split the army probably has the hardware to defeat the purpose of all forces but it might not be easy it i mean are the records what forces mainly in control of khartoum or always they also control from the regular army i don't think so we've i don't think we know really the reports are visible patrols by the rapid support forces mainly in technicals. but the army headquarters which of course was the site of the original process was cleared is in the hands of the regular army and in

terms of your forecast is for how this goes i mean it's it hasn't looked good in the last week or so it seems like what seemed like a sort of potentially peaceful transition like it is going backwards is there any hope of it staying peaceful. going back to being peaceful perhaps. i mean i think optimistic sudanese might say that the history in sudan the history of automation of military governments and civilian governments usually the civilian governments don't last very long. the history of. compromise is at least within the central riverine elites and i think it is important to bear in mind that terrible though these events are this is the logical outcome of 20 years of. for mentoring. massacres in the air for where the government used proxy forces and therefore divide the moral and created this culture of

extreme violence we just finally visited the capital and i think this is a great shock and possibly a surprise for some sad news i think i think people would generally surprised by the extraordinary violence this reaction but it's a monster created by 30 years of military government president rafiq you very much dave you're nuts thank you. still to come on this news hour. officials on both sides of the border say the new u.s. and mexico immigration deal isn't really new at all. and thousands of venezuelans pour into colombia after the crossing reopens for the 1st time in 4 months. and school with peter will have the action as india proved too good for australia at the cricket world cup.

without borders he said the number of mediterranea crossings is much lower than last year but migrants are now taking a much greater risk the absolute number of people who are fleeing across the central mediterranean is much lower this year than it has been in previous years but the key point of concern is that whilst over the same period last year the chance of dying in attempting to make that journey was one in 59 over the last 5 months the chance of death during the course of of that journey is now one in 15 there are many factors that drive people to take this desperate option one of those factors is the recent conflicts in tripoli in northwest libya that has destabilized a large region had a massive impact on civilians in and around that city but is also likely to be pushing people to take options that otherwise might not thought of including crops

from the community had died 3 of whom i had gone to school with i was very sad the solution many would say is to simply stay at home and the new agreement does include a plan for development in central american countries so that people don't have to leave but the presidents of honduras el salvador and guatemala themselves have been virtually silent during this crisis and without their support their countrymen could be for. given the thinking in this new deal they've been left on their own john home and i'll just get a cuppa to mexico. thousands of venezuelans have crossed into colombia to buy food and medicine after president nicolas maduro reopened the border and had been shot for 4 months as part of a battle between the government and opposition to bring aid into the country from reynolds has mall. thousands of venezuelans lined up to cross the simone boulevard bridge into colombia was a rare chance for these people to purchase food medicine and other commodities no
