a civilian who is agreed upon by both sides let's go live now to him morgan our correspondent in khartoum and hear both so effectively the t.n.c. the transitional military council which we've now become familiar with effectively becomes obsolete but its members are transferred on to the new joint council. yes indeed marquis not all of its members will be part of the governing council which will be shared between the military and the opposition coalition and the forces of freedom and change only 5 of the 10 members who are in the military council will be included in the new sovereign council now that covering council has been a point of contention between the 2 sides the reason why negotiation can talk between 2 sides a lack of real time big think about the role of that council and they disagreed about the composition how many representatives each side should have and who will headed. what this comes down to in this deal that was signed on back today is that

for the 1st 21 months it will be headed by the military and headed by a general of the 1st $100.00 who is said to be sworn in in the next coming few minutes and for the remaining 18 months of the transitional period it will be headed by civilian nominated by the opposition coalition now that suffering council is expected to have a large disserve morning role if that's to rubber stamp on decisions made by the legislative assembly and the executive council which will have members nominated by the opposition coalition as well and run by a prime minister now there's been a huge amount of skepticism hasn't there as to whether the generals were actually get a hand over power is a much confidence now in the process from the ordinary people of sudan those in particular who were protesting for so many months. well they're saying that it's a wait and see for them there they seem to be very happy they were celebrating back today they were celebrating when the initial deal was signed in early august and

they're saying that because it's a civilian majority in the foreign council then they're going to accept it they're also happy because most of the powers will be like in the executive council which will have at least 18 ministers and a prime minister nominated by the opposition coalition which is to implement the vision of that opposition coalition the people are saying that because the executive council will have a largely civilian and opposition members with the exception of the ministry of defense and the minister of interior and most of the power will also be in the legislative assembly which would be setting down the laws including the election law and the constitutional laws then they seem to be very optimistic but what they are concerned about martin is the 1st 21 months of the transition period that's when the military can control then they're going to have to wait and see if that transition from the military rule to a civilian in the in the program council will happen it's still a long way to go a lot of things to be to be to be seen from that program council from the

transitional period still more swearing in we have to see the swearing in of the members of the current council and their prime minister but for the moment my scene people are celebrating they're saying that this is the 1st step down the democratic transition rule morgan live in khartoum thank you. australian causes held for the sex abuse conviction of the form of vatican treasurer a cult and. he was jailed for abusing 2 boys 20 years ago the vatican says his knowledge is the ruling adding that still has another chance to appeal alexia o'brien reports. arriving at court cardinal george pell was taken in through a door away from the waiting crowd. there was no room inside for everyone the court packed with other survivors of abuse by the catholic church and supporters on. all you. 7 really inside the hands of

owners are being taught how to fill out piles of customs papers if it means a border going up across ireland they'll have to and it's an expense many can barely afford this is what people mean when they say the irish economy could suffer because of brick says do business is no do you know what the british government's plan is. i don't i don't see why the commentators at the start of this whole process don't watch the inches watch the miles so if you're trying to think if you try to follow bragg said step by step be incredibly frustrating because it's not a logic most people are familiar with. ever since he became prime minister boris johnson has said the u.k. will leave the e.u. before november in his letter to the european union he also insists a new deal can and must be found to free his country from being stuck in a customs union because it's been rejected by the british parliament but neither

of traffic with all the contingent security risks to the place might not be far away the dread fear in our land is that any physical manifestation of a border could lead to dissident republicans attacking not only british but irish customs officials britain says it's just scaremongering there will never be a border on the island of islands but in his letter to the european union boris johnson cannot say how he could guarantee is in the sense of dundalk a sculpture was erected after former u.s. president clinton helped finalize the good friday peace deal and addressed a 100000 people in celebration the sculpture is called dialogue and celebrates the art of compromise how times have changed enormously al-jazeera on the irish border . now imagine going. without being able to see anything something completely in the dark well that's argentina's blind
