ok well that looks like we've heard a from the main party is in that ceremony just for viewers who are just joining us ripping the live pictures from khartoum where representatives from the sudanese military and the sydneys opposition have just signed the political declaration we heard jury ng that brief press those press statements really that 2 documents have been the goosey 8 it's the political declaration and the constitutional declaration it's the 1st of those that has been signs no we're expecting a 2nd documents to be signed on friday we heard 4 speeches at the final one though came from mohamed duggal the vice

presidents of the ruling military. he's known as head see commands are all of the paramilitary forces he was among those paying tribute to those who had helped sign and the go see those 2 documents controversially there he spoke of honoring the memory of the fall and martyrs those who had fueled the revolution in his words we also heard a lot of praise being paid to both sides there that of course from the new envoy to sudan he was speaking who said it is time for the sudanese people to marriage from the siege later right in them paying tribute to the sudanese people who. a u.n. envoy to sudan said deserve this moment certain the many talking of the historic progress being made today let's find out more about that from al-jazeera had

a morgan who joins us now from neighboring ethiopia just give us a sense of your thoughts here you've been covering the events in sudan for us for quite some time just how significant is that this this one document has been signed today. one hell of a start as the 2 slice have been negotiating to try to reach an agreement since former president mahmoud abbas here was that in april now the talks have been suspended several times last call last after june 3rd when the military attacked the political opposites in front of forces in the capital khartoum so the fact that they were able to come together and sign a document what it reminds us that it's a lot of negotiating is quite significant but let's remember that this deal back has been signed powell is just the starting point it basically says that the sides will be sharing power during the transition period it's that it says that the forces of freedom and change and that foundation military council will be having 5 members each in the supreme council which is effectively the presidency during that

transitional period and then the enforcers of freedom and change will be the ones nominated members of the executive council which it doesn't discuss however is the role of these 2 council that is up to the constitutional declaration which as we heard from the envoy and from others will be signed on friday afternoon. and we're still expecting that that to go ahead spreads should that go ahead as planned the signing of this constitutional declaration i'm not sure they will be a very significant moment given the level of upheaval we have seen in sit on over the past few months. yes indeed that will be the significant moment perhaps more significant event today's moment because it will be defining the rules of those 2 councils there you have to figure out what the supreme council will do what it's meant what its mandate is how much how much power is how and also has to the constitution look there will also be defining the role of the executive council and if the sovereign funds we can't interfere in the work of munches that that if

council but the parliament if they be created 3 months after the start of the transitional period so that document that is still under discussion will be perhaps the more significant document more than the one that is being planned at the moment let's not forget that there are a lot of us talking points between the 2 sides regarding that document is why it has not been signed nearly 2 weeks after june 2 sides have agreed to share power the transition military council is saying that it wants immunity during the transitional period but the opposition coalition is saying that there should not be a blanket immunity there should be clauses that specify when that immunity can be lifted because i want them to demanding for is accountability for the death of the person for vestas especially during june 3rd so a lot of things remain to be discussed between the 2 sides and until then we're going to have to wait and see how they're going to sort it out and if there will be signed the declaration on friday one of the sticking points as you mentioned there . certainly this this question of immunity how significant was it do you think that

we heard from mohamed hunt and doug. he's the 2nd in command almost in this ruling military council but he leads. he's the commander of a very well known paramilitary force so the bit at the center of much controversy over the past few months. yes yes indeed he now he's been saying that his forces have nothing to do with attacking protesters on june 3rd and during because that's a nice thing that he is for accountability he wants to he wants there to be investigations into the acts that have happened so it seems like the statement that we've been hearing from him is that he wants investigations and he wants accountability but we've also been hearing from members of the transition military council but they want immunity now that something that the opposition coalition is saying that they will not accept what they did promise protests which effectively they are representing and this negotiations how is that they will be accountability

for the deaths of well tested so if that clause does the people in the streets will not be happy but that is not be happy and be and the coalition is already having a hard time selling this deal to the protesters on the streets they're saying that they have been betrayed a lot of them have not accepted the deal are saying that they want a better deal they don't want any military representation during the transition period they want a complete civilian but the opposition coalition is saying that because it's a transition they have to share power and elections are held so this clause of immunity if the correlation decides it probably is and give it to the military council like they want then it looks like they're going to have to base their supporters on the streets with protests and saying that they want complete accountability and justice for the death of the distance ok but morgan their life or as anything about thank you very much indeed for viewers just joining us a quick reminder of what we have been discussing we have had members of sudan's military council and the opposition groups signing a political accord just moments ago that's part of

a prior sharing deal aimed at leading sudan to democracy we understand another agreements will be cited the much of the the constitutional declaration more sticking points in that document which will be signed in khartoum we understand on friday but for now a 1st step taken in the long route to democracy for saddam. well let's bring you some other news now the u.s. house of representatives has 40 to condemn racist comments that president donald trump made about 4 congresswoman on sunday trant telling the politicians to go back to where they came from and he has refused to let up despite growing criticism both at home and have brought my county reports now from washington d.c. without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table the vote went largely along party lines only for republicans joining house democrats in their

rebuke of president. it was a rare occasion on which all in the house were forced to go on the record in response to intemperate comments made by the president these comments from the white house are disgraceful and disgusting and they come and are racist the vote was delayed by republicans who attempted to have the accusation of racism made by the house speaker introducing the bull struck off the record i urge you to listen and you know that the balance of my house is going to the general speaker of the house if she would like to rephrase that comment i had actually read my remarks as a parliamentarian before i read them the unprecedented argument delayed to vote for hours many republicans clearly more angered by the speaker's words than by those treated by the president as a general making a demand that the word be taken down. a request for jones' words or on parliamentary question to be taken down despite the republican fury

a vote was taken and the house ruled the speaker's words should be kept on the record then another moment of drama for the 1st time a formal attempt in the house to move articles of impeachment against the president impeaching donald john trudell president of the united states of misdemeanors. the move is likely to intensify what has been a bitter debate among house democrats about impeachment more than 80 representatives are on record as urging such a move others including the house speaker have been arguing that it would be better to continue investigating the president through house committees rather than risk a failed move to impeach therefore donnel john drop by causing such horror to the society of the united states is unfit to be president and warrants impeachment trial and removal from office

supporting her representatives from a different political families and what she also managed to do is together with voters to bring france and germany closer back together the french german cooperation is not everything in the good opinion that sure but without a close frank or german cooperation things really don't move forward in the european union among the promises that. has made is reform of the very electoral process that had failed to produce a democratically elected candidate with her name emerging instead from behind closed doors as the preferred pick of e.u. heads of government and state it's not only far right populists talking about a democratic deficit in the e.u. anymore many other any peas are saying it as well. and try as she might to be the consensus candidate for all her promise of a green climate deal for europe wasn't enough to sway the greens what is this dream deal for europe can you explain that to me i can't well if you can't i can't either
