a few unesco world heritage sites. so than could be about to end more than 25 years of international isolation and boost its transition to democracy u.s. president trump says he's ready to take the country off the list of state sponsors of terrorism that's likely to bring an injection of international investment and urgently needed debt relief well talk to him or morgan in khartoum shortly but 1st a report. this is one of the events that have kept sudan on a u.s. list of state sponsors of terror and kept most foreign investors away for more than 25 years. in august 1908 bomb attacks on the u.s. embassies in kenya and intense annia killed 224 people and injured more than 4000.

and so dan was accused of providing a base for the bombers then president ahmed bashir had already been accused of offering sanctuary to the likes of al qaida and its leader osama bin laden. but after you have negotiations by the transitional government president donald trump says he's ready to restore sudan's international status in a tweet he said sudan had agreed to pay $335000000.00 compensation and once deposited he would remove it from the list. on the road ahead of us is long and we have to have a serious plan and work to give the to benefit from this opportunity we promised 0 people and we work to achieve 0 promise with no agenda except the interest of the nation together we can achieve the impossible being on the list has meant sudan has struggled for investment resulting in a hard currency shortage that led to inflation that 1st throw slowly then steeply the countries pound has lost more than 50 percent of its value against the dollar in just the past 2 months because trapped government is struggling to pay for stuff

lies of lead fuel and medicine all items it subsidizes resulting in shortage of sudan's removal from the u.s. list would allow it to be relieved of its that by the international monetary fund that will still take months but the country needs help now some analysts say that may mean a move to normalize ties with israel which comes with an economic assistance package could still happen i suspect however that we will see in the coming days or weeks an effort towards normalization on the part of the sudanese because washington at the end of the day needs to get some kind of political way and i think it's a sad commentary for washington and for the trumpet ministration that it isn't a sufficient enough win for them to point to a success story in the horn of africa where there wasn't one before this is a region you know beset with political problems and economic problems and for us to be able to point to a success story should be a sufficient foreign policy win for this administration that it should want to try and trumpet that when. and while president trump seeks

a foreign policy when so dance prime minister abdullah him to set the delisting would open paths for sudan's economic improvement crucial for its transition to democracy. morgan now joins us live from khartoum so how people react to their wallet mean for the country to be lifted from this list. yes indeed sammy it is quite significant for the country overall in terms of economy and in terms of political stability now being on the list of state sponsors of terror has greatly hindered sudan's economy and its ability to attract foreign investors and to even deal or invest in foreign trade outside of a country that's resulted in severe hard currency shortages and we can see that just by taking a walk around the streets of khartoum you can see people lining up for bread did shortages of rita you can see people lining up for fuel due to shortage of petrol and that's because the country has been suffering from this hard currency shortage

that makes it very difficult to import basic necessities now sudan says this is quite significant because it's also heavily indebted to the international monetary fund more than $60000000000.00 that the country is unable to pay it's also an able to loan to be able to sustain its economy so economists say that this is quite a good sign because it would mean that within the next few months so dan would be able to be basically relieved of with that by the international monetary fund and the world bank opening ways for it to be able to revive its economy very crucial for sudan's democracy because people have been saying this government has failed to deliver basic services because of the how the inflation has been rising so it is very significant both for the sudanese government and for the people of sudan who've been waiting for this announcement for months now have a maybe you can clarify something those who are stealing food establishing relations with israel. well that is one thing that has been on the table and that

has been discussed by the u.s. secretary of state when he was here at the end of august and met with the sudanese prime minister abdullah him dawk now asked for the prime minister he does not have the mandate or rather his government does not have the mandate to make that it's such a decision to normalize ties with israel he says that his government is not elected it has been brought to do it has been brought to power by revolution it's basically a coalition of various political parties with different ideologies and so to have them all come on the same page and agree to normalizing ties with israel that is something that he says he cannot do and that an elected government should be put in place to make that decision but sudan's economy is in dire need of assistance and one thing that we do know from senior officials here in sudan is that if it normalizes ties with israel there will be an economic assistance package that could relieve sudan all the economic crisis is going through right now so while the while it seems like at the moment the u.s. has to link to the issue of normalizing ties with israel to being delisted it

doesn't look like it's off the table because sudan's economy does need assistance and the government needs to be stable there already calls for protests tomorrow because of how the economic situation is going so it looks like there is still pressure from the government to normalize ties with israel or for now thanks so much of a mormon. now new rules will be in place when donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden face off in their final presidential debate on thursday their 1st live exchange was last month was punctuated by frequent interruptions from the president but this time each candidate gets to speak for 2 minutes without interruption the beginning of every segment of the debate the microphone of the candidate who is not speaking will be muted mike hanna has more from washington d.c.

. strictly speaking it's the same format and that is a 90 minute debate divided into 6 sections but what the change is is that each candidate will be given 2 minutes to speak at the beginning of each section and now the commission on presidential debates says the other candidates microphone will be switched off during those 2 minutes to stop all interruptions and then during the discussion that will follow a free discussion in each section any candidate that interrupts will have the time taken off him and given to the other candidate this just follows the absolute chaos that ensued in the 1st and only television debate between joe biden and president trump now the commission insisting that it has to take these safeguards to ensure that some form of debate does take place between the candidates early on in the day the trump campaign sent the commission a letter saying that it object to the fact that it was not focusing on foreign

policy this particular debate it also described the commission as pro biden and also insisted that it would not accept the muting of microphones well the commission announced this change in rules after that and it doesn't appear that there's been any oppose all opposition to this particular fact so it appears that this debate will be going ahead according to this new formula in terms of which the candidates mikes will be switched off for the 1st 2 minutes while the other candidate is talking the u.s. supreme court has declined a republican bill that would have limited the count of mail in ballots in the state of pennsylvania it means postal votes can now be counted up to 3 days after the election on november 3rd the top court was deadlocked allowing a lower court ruling to stand there are currently only 8 justices on the bench following the death of ruth bader ginsburg. new covered 19 infections in the u.s.

farmers white farmers in south africa who have said that there's a systematic attempt to get them off farms perhaps using violence crime such as murders and on the other hand you also have the government that has said that this isn't about targeting farmers in a specifically but it's about a broader crime issue in south africa so africa does have one of the highest crime rates in the world it has the 5th highest or number of murders in the world and annually there are about $20000.00 murders in this country of that between $50.70 farmers are murdered every year so it's actually a small amount given the $20000.00 murders we do see in this country every year every year and so there is this argument and this back and forth between interested groups farmers on one side who say that they are targeted and the government and other interested parties are political parties who say that this isn't about

farmers and this is also about perhaps labor issues and then you also have you know an organization like every forum an advocacy group who's saying that even if it had to do with labor issues less than 2 percent of the murders they see on farms are related to those labor issues and then again because of south africa's history the is an issue around land ownership about 70 percent of farmland in this country at least 70 percent is owned by white farmers specifically organizers of sunday's presidential election in guinea of this mystery announcement a victory by the main opposition candidates supporters celebrating in the capital conakry of. one president alpha combo described as irresponsible and dangerous fish results on to expensive for several. or whoever wins will lead a whole country with a bomb the natural resources. on the edge of guinea's
