civilians for 18 months the opposition coalition is due to choose a prime minister early next week. to khartoum and our correspondent morgan is it's purely a day of celebration there or is it perhaps tinge to all colored with a certain sense of realism. while peter we just heard a speech from the representative of the. we're going to change 100000000 of them and he one of the things he mentioned is people who have been killed during the protests the number of people who have gone missing so while this has been a euphoric event for lack of better words there has been a bit of sadness there were people mentioning that this is not without any blood that people lives were lost people were killed and many of them went missing over the process of the 8 months but despite all of that people are think that they're
10:51 pm
happy that this means that there is a new beginning that at some point there will be a civilian rule before a free and fair elections are held so there's thing that they're very optimistic we get to hear from the head of the transitional military council he's due to speak any minute but people are celebrating and behind me there are some of the protesters some of the people who had taken part in the protests there here in the near the dining hall celebrating but also reminding that the protesters who have died must get some kind of accountability and justice should be accountability for the lives lost so while there is euphoria in the air people are saying that there should be accountability and that all the promises that the opposition coalition made to the protesters when they promised to present them should be fulfilled how long until we know the prime minister is being in his role and also off the back. as well the key thing how long until we know who gets those top jobs in this
10:52 pm
transitional that ministration. well tomorrow the suffering council is due to be formed that will come on proviso that will comprise of 5 members from the office blish and 5 members from the military and 11 member that is the greed of foreign by both sides who is supposed to be a civilian so the civilian will are supposed to have a majority and the sovereign council and the transition military council which is currently ruling the country will be dissolved and a prime minister is expected to be named are already has been made by the opposition coalition which is expected to be confirmed and sworn in on tuesday but more important than those dates peter is how soon can we expect change on the ground protesters are demanding so many thanks from the opposition coalition and the military council they want to better health care they want better infrastructure they want better educational services they are saying that they want to justice and accountability all these demands they want to see being met by the
10:53 pm
opposition coalition and the transition military council in that transitional government that is going to be formed and more importantly they want a better economy and that is going to be very hard concerning the fact that sudan has a very high inflation rate one of the highest in the world and which would be very hard for any upcoming government to basically just through birth in a few months here but keep us right up to date unsure but in the meantime thank you so much ok let's take a look at how sudan reached this point where we are today for over rising bread prices started in december of last year they quickly turned into calls for the former president bashir to resign used to pushing up food prices increasing fuel and shortages through his mismanagement of the economy is wanted by the international criminal court over allegations of crimes against humanity war crimes and genocide protests grew rapidly in early april that people took to the streets daily and bashir finally stepped down demonstrations continued until last month
10:54 pm
calling on the military to him to civilians all. $100.00 protesters have lost their lives during the push for democracy in sudan earlier i spoke to abdel wahab appendix is a professor of politics at the institute for graduate studies he says while the signing should be celebrated the reforms will be slow i would have people expect that next morning when the prime minister sits in his office things are going to change and of course. that's not not going to be the case simply also because the demonstration still from the brought this over the last 7 months have also grounded the state capacity down and the economy it has been. has been even legal loaded more and more. in the states capacity to intervene has been reduced so in order to get way. in december.
10:55 pm
this will go to a 4 and that's that's what the people who are protesting against tens of thousands of people in hong kong took part in pro and anti-government rallies today supporters of the government gathered in the town are park area in the central district say of hong kong together with their slogan counter-demonstrations took place on the other side of hong kong harbor in kowloon march was there were demanded government reforms and more democracy as night fell there was a tense standoff with the police in hong kong as densely populated long cock district protesters threw eggs and they shone lasers at a local police station but quickly dispersed once officers took to the streets under thomas has more now from the anti-government protests that. this right place i'm only been here about 15 minutes and yet already they're getting back into their vehicles to go to whatever protests spring up next this is the tactics of the protest as they bring big numbers thousands to a location like
10:56 pm
a play station one play station it's just down the road and they gather outside making a little noise and some of them very few but some throwing eggs at the play station as well the police come out to the entrance of their play station and make noise and return and threaten tear gas before they actually deploy it's the protesters move on and suddenly quickly the police come out in vans like the us but as soon as they're oid the protesters just disperse into the metro system on to buses by foot going on to the next place is a count and mouse game these protests and police chasing around hong kong. well another correspondent me it has been a pro-government rally in hong kong. organizers say about 470000 people at the end of the rally that number is probably a bit lower but still it was a large showing here now most of the people we spoke to said they were coming here to denounce the violence the banner of this rally was save hong kong and support
10:57 pm
the police most of the people we spoke to also said that they felt that the police has been unfairly represented over the past few weeks there is a sense of worry a sense of anxiety about these outbursts of violence that have been unfolding on the streets of hong kong one woman i spoke to said this is the do you thing to have grievances but they have to find a different way to express it we do not want this violence because you don't know how much it can snowball where it could lead so you did have that sense of worry about the future now there is certainly a sort of generation gap between the 2 sides most of the people who were here by and large were maybe for 30 years old upwards a sort of working middle class and working class people whose feel that they have a good life and that there is much to lose if this situation continues
10:58 pm
here in hong kong be was obviously soup or to towards mainland china we saw a lot of chinese flags there was chinese anthem at the beginning of the rally and then there were a lot of speakers for example from the business sector representative of the taxi drivers and went on stage to denounce how much they had lost since this wave of protests started back in june so certainly a huge difference between the 2 sides and one thing that really stuck with us is that people came up to us to say please say the truth show both sides show that there are 2 camps here in hong kong at the moment and by them. most important is for the violence to stop and then after that we can try to solve the problems in this defense ministry says the soldiers being killed along need to street line of control with pakistan the ministry is blaming pakistan for carrying out mortar attacks around the town of jewellery several soldiers from both sides were killed 2

11:00 pm
very poor as far as connectivity is concerned at least some movement has been like civil lines which is where the who's who. live but many areas still all reeling under a very heavy impact of these restrictions that have been imposed by the indian government there is a hope that over the weekend things perhaps will get easier but the indian government has again reiterated that it would be a step by step approach recalibrate constantly calibrate i beg your pardon on how much restrictions would ease in. schools however should open on monday and government offices as well spokes person for pakistan's military forces are prepared to respond to any indian.
