12:02 pm
a machine the head of the military council has said the transition to civilian rule could be as short as one month rather than two yes if it's managed without kills thousands of people have returned to the streets after ousting demanding the country resist another period of autocratic rule. the music of defiance these protesters refused to go home after the army declared a curfew some of been there through the night for many in the motors extatic if they also feel they've been cheated. after three decades of life under ex president omar al bashir a new strongman takes his place defense minister our even hoof the head of the country's military transition council. the good is that this is a farce the regime did not fool here this is a reproduction of the same vision. we do not accept this and we will stay on the
12:03 pm
streets going to the regime change is completely only the rebels money it's not right that the government has repressed us and now still wants to see control and power over us. as young people in citizens we see what's happening the government is manipulating us. law you know there cannot be another regime that. this man is a bloodthirsty leader and he wants to bring us another regime and. other means of this is completely unacceptable. to regime foodservice. season these people will not die how does the shuttle doesn't go despite or maybe because of the protests the army has been making a show of force deploying vehicles through the capital khartoum just in case it wasn't clear who is really in charge. now with me in the studio i have
12:04 pm
down behind who's a sudanese human rights activist living here in berlin welcome and i'm thank you fled a sudan because you were facing prosecution under the rule of a model bashir what was your feeling when you heard that he's being pushed out of power i was so happy yes and. it's happening after city yes where we lose really so much in this period of time we look people in there for we used all sorts of half of the country ones wouldn't be so i was annoyed or not so that's why for me it was a really happy but also sad moment when i must basically say that it is also this kind of different feeling but i'm happy for that and that's happening. it was announced that he had been pushed out and news came that there's going to be a military council which will govern the country for two years it was a huge disappointment among the protest as we're now hearing reports that the military council has said that they could be a transfer to civilian rule within
12:05 pm
a month if there is no chaos what do you make of this statement i think it is one step forward we're seeing it there because it is also somehow is going to prepare the country to have really civilians government and not more army this is a really interesting point they moving forward but it's to the point it's not about how they can make this not about the time about who would be in and i think that's a question now because for example they still not acknowledge that just. as the civilian. security service was killing people for four months this is still coming new government over and over for those months or something because what's the point now people discuss president except. for just before we came on the military analysts were giving a press conference in talking to gen this tell us about some of what they said one of the fed is saying also they wouldn't go to give the government now does
12:06 pm
a civilian government this is really important points of people already demand this you also they will make some they are. always open. and see what does a party need and what they also can offer i think this is also good for him to have somehow just dialogue but as i said before we have to wait now to see who would have. the diode ok because if the dialogue hold again with some people who was bought out of the government before this is a problem because it north for example is also bought of the old government and somehow he is also accused sometimes of of organizing military and other for then distills acquits and who will hold that they are actually because also you know because given the role of the military in the past thirty years. how much do you trust what they're saying to you right now for me was my was my old experience with government especially with this muslim brother is that it's not so easy that's why people yesterday go on the street diet and they say we don't trust because the face
12:07 pm
of the announcement of putting bugs the government over her but she was also bought of the muslim brother this is a problem is also is and that's why we have to wait to see how they handle this if it is will be again sitting with these good point but how they will sit with it and who will be the point so you think an important first step but we have to see where it takes. them thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us here a sudanese and activist who is based here in berlin sunday for having. a un human rights funniest judicial authorities to give the wiki leaks founder julian assange a franchise australia is also weighed in on the case saying a solid and australian national would receive consular support but any u.s. action extradition plans have nothing to do with a straight meanwhile supporters of authorities have had protests in sydney with the australian journalists union voicing its strong support for him assault is

12:09 pm
will reveal some details of which the world is not yet aware that justify the decision taken by president moreno if they regard assad just staying at the embassy in london during the term of former president correa and foreign minister. the two of them tolerated thing such as mr assad putting feces on the walls of the embassy but it is the line behind. the police van took a song to court where he was found guilty of breaching bail in an earlier case but person anderson says lawyers confirm that the arrest relates to an extradition request from the united states since two thousand and ten we warned that china signs would face prosecution extradition to the united states for his publishing activities but he says unfortunately today we've been proven right with today received a warrant and a provisional extradition request from united states alleging that he has committed conspired to chelsea manning in relation to the materials are published by with
12:10 pm
aids in two thousand and ten the u.s. justice department accuses a songs of conspiring with former us army intelligence analyst chelsea manning to break into a pentagon computer and blames them for releasing classified information about military operations in iraq and afghanistan including this footage of a reuters journalist being killed in a drone attack. a son supporters view him as a fearless defender of free speech someone who is exposed to alleged u.s. war crimes. his lawyers say the arrest sets a dangerous precedent for the rights of journalists and that they will fight his extradition to the united states. joining me now from oslo is a model and then also a professor of law at the university of oslo and also a former special wrapper tear of the united nations working group on arbitrary detention welcome professor handed us a juvenile assault as lawyer says why her clients detention is
12:11 pm
a breach of international law do you agree because a u.k. says he violated bindle as well the united nations looked at two thousand and fifty in the united nations working group law which are the connection which is the specialist body all. was held in tension in violation of international law one that the u.k. authorities should release in my local struck two three there will movement and they're obviously seems to be no sign of that what do you make off the u.s. extradition request is valid. well it is a very technical attempt to distinguish between ordinary press activity and assisting in extracting information from public in the sense of state from ation systems with different kinds of security devices now the problem with that is that
12:12 pm
there were no way you go about doing that likelihood is that it will be used against journalists and be used to restrict basic freedom of press. so this is extremely extremely difficult and also threatening in relation to the freedom of the press and and just look at information he managed to bring to us all about u.s. military activities in iraq and the abuses there of course they wouldn't have been there if that in any possibility for the u.s. authorities or collaborate read the whole court is in many countries in there been possible for them to restrict to bar us from learning about these news so professor that is your theory as this case has huge implications for press freedom what do you think will happen now to jordan aside. well i'm really worried because their
12:13 pm
one thing is that you design the international or. you know yesterday in parliament just before the extension of bricks it she had to announce a problem in this the matter you started by saying i'm sure the whole house will rejoice in the news that mr sanchez been arrested and the conservative benches indeed it was chairing now it's good to to know here that labor. the. shadow minister for. the home secretary she then stood up and said that as have contributed to the press and bringing me a very important information to us all and also the neighbor leader after his diana hundreds and then there was a call in the labor leader of that supporter so the point is that in the u.k. this is not political it's you know where the government tries to make hay out of
12:14 pm
this. politically there was also a very sad event in there the court where the magistrate had some very negative catches stations of mr sonner which were inappropriate and and which makes us who are you know those who are saying the service internationalists here for the possibilities of a fair legal process it's not right started off very well we have to leave it then that and this professor from your at the university of us still and former special half a tale of the un working group an arbitrary detention thank you very much for your thoughts on the death mail thank you. that could not be up to some of the stories making news around the wasn't in pakistan a bomb in a market in the southwestern city of kreta has killed at least sixteen people and. the attack appears to have been aimed at the minority shia muslims no group has
12:15 pm
claimed responsibility for the bombings but sunni militants have carried out similar attacks against shia in the area before. and israeli spacecraft has crashed into the moon's surface just minutes before touchdown the crash was due to engine failure but israeli aerospace official still hailed the mission as a breakthrough for new costs scaled spacecraft and vowed to try again. mindanao is the second largest and in the philippines and it's known for its natural beauty it's also a place the so quick islamic state chose to create a caliphate in southeast asia even before i ask him when the see in mindanao had seen a long running power struggle between its christian majority and muslim minority in a two thousand and seventeen i is fighting made them move a few hundred five to seize the city of marjah the battle to flush them out was has
12:16 pm
devastated the region. reporters sound of businessman and hans christian most amman traveled to mindanao to see what life is like there today. we are on patrol with the largest muslim rabid group in mindanao the moro islamic liberation front or m.i.l.f. for decades they fought for independence tens of thousands were killed. but since the self-proclaimed islamic state burst onto the scene in two thousand and seventeen the muslim rebels have joined forces with the philippine army both sides feel threatened by us fight as. the muslim minority strongly supports the m.i.l.f. only five percent of filipinos are muslims and almost all live in mindanao their areas are among the poorest in the philippines many here blame the christian
12:17 pm
majority government for their plight. we visit the military headquarters of the m.i.l.f. the government needs the rabbit support to secure a peace and to fight terror president rodrigue has promised them a far reaching autonomy is. the chief of staff isn't in uniform a sign perhaps of the shift from insurgency to politics the m.i.l.f. has seen defectors joining i as we ask him what might happen if the autonomy project goes. people really become diminished. by. all. the will. there. he tells us that they will disarm up to thirty thousand fighters but only with full
12:18 pm
muslim autonomy. we will not. decommission our forces and we will not give up our firearms which we promised to the government. this is what both sides are trying to avoid and not be the largest muslim city of the philippines lies in ruins bombed out after a few hundred fighters had occupied mahratti for five months two years ago. more than one thousand people were killed tens of thousands remain displaced. it was president to tear to who ordered the bombing but he's also a strong supporter of muslim autonomy his film a peace adviser tells us. it is a struggle signal to the bad guys. around with this country i have been in the
12:19 pm
peace process under several presidents and we have thus far as we have this time the president feels that. if we give more of our for the locals but it must be under one flag the philippine flag. but if the autonomy dr fay it's more disaffected muslims could join radical outfits in addition after the loss of their caliphate in syria and iraq more for a nice fight us might also decide that mindanao is the new front. and that's a. just man who not joins me in the studio now welcome center first of all you were in mindanao in my lobby with your colleague christiane austin on how difficult was it for you to food there for as long as we were in morocco which is an exclusion zone we were with the military so they decided where we could film how long we could stay and then when we were with the rebels as you saw in this movie also they
12:20 pm
decided where we could go a long way could stay but other than that moving around in mindanao we found rather easy unexpectedly easy because people were generally very well coming and also very willing to talk to us but you know how big is it a threat the simple islamic state in a minute now. from what we were told by authorities by the military they are off. so they're hiding in the marshlands and the jungle if you look at mindanao it office amplified in space also we know that restless skirmishers we know that there have been bombings for instance the big january bombing in a catholic cathedral on the neighboring island of creating more than twenty people some of the threat is still there and also if you think about the you know after the loss of territory there foreign fighters will shift and where will they go to a place where they can hide and as a set and the story mend and now i think could be the next front because there are
12:21 pm
local grievances there is a muslim insurgency happening so they can just tap into that as they did in two thousand and seventy. the government to strongest midden now a certain degree of autonomy is that a bitch to actually get support of local muslims and good against. extremists definitely yes because they need to win the hearts and minds of people they need to address these grievances and that's why they have joined forces with the biggest muslim rebel group. liberation front so they now are joining forces against that islamist threat and we are in a very difficult transition period but if things go well we could see an autonomous government in three years to come but president putin if they has such a reputation for his brutal dealing with the drug traffickers is he the man who could bring credibly peace to mindanao after decades of conflict interestingly the rebel leadership of the m.i.l.f. they told us we don't trust to sincerity and
12:22 pm
a lot of people in mindanao voted for him because in fact he is the first philippine president to hear from him now so probably he does have a better understanding of the conflict than others before him had some dependence upon if there's if you have you with us on the in the studio. and you can see. the documentary philippines in the sights of ice on a you tube channel documentary. now the largest election the one has ever seen is underway in india a whopping eighty four million people will be heading to the polls for the first time among them some fifteen million of them aged eighteen or nineteen who grown up on a diet of social media so how will these young people choose who to vote for. in the city of kolkata has come up it's a month says india correspondent nick met him. for.
12:23 pm
a rap song with the. twenty year old who. would be voting in india's election. and he wants others to do with. his song button press the button. to cast the ballot and twice three. times it's easy to get manipulated. which there are lots of fake truths and half truths and lies being peddled everywhere it's all mixed up. so much the election is a little squeamish it plays on a popular radio station in calcutta. frankie says he wrote it in
12:24 pm
a couple of hours since he felt so strongly about the topic. but when you. were decide the future. of. the youth of today probably have the least knowledge about politics. so i felt this important to shake them up and urge them to do some research and be aware before they cast their vote. that's what the rapper often does with his own friends who also want to be the first and then measure his. social media is where they go to for information. to be frankly shows them a video of a popular you to create or through proxy who makes him the language of analyzing political issues. this guy doesn't give opinions he gives a lot of facts and data he mentions. you get a lot of information on social media but there's also lots of misinformation and it's hard to know what's real and what's not. it's
12:25 pm
a message that has massive implications for india a staggering eighty four million people will be casting ballots for the first time in this election. i know fixated on i was at the same thing how the country will be taken forward in the fog of progress i think that is the mean not on putting is important but. i wish there was some void the. need to. give my vote to the maid to government because they want to turn india into a hindu nation if that happens where will we muslims go jacket to this. frankly the price of religious intolerance on the prime minister. at the expense of muslims like here is a major problem. and i've got to. use like unemployment and poverty are huge but now there are religious tensions and hatreds that's a new issue india is so diverse it has so many religions you can't afford to fuel
12:26 pm
hatred among people whichever government comes to power i appeal to them to please and this. for young voters like frank the very first election is the same it was a battle for the idea of india as a targeted democracy as a space for everyone. if you're just joining us you're watching d.w. news coming to you live from berlin here's a look at off top stories this hour sudan's new military council has said it supports a shorter transition period to civilian rule if it's handle smoothly thousands of protesters remain camped outside the military headquarters in the capital of khartoum a day after the army alstad president of the shia. and the u.n. human rights agency is a traditional talk used to ensure a fresh trial for julian a song the wiki leaks founder has been arrested and jailed in london and now faces
