this is the day of news coming to you live from berlin chopper from the power of that saddam's president won't face extradition for war crimes so i don't see him going to try to say they were not can do what a lot of bashir over to the international criminal court to face allegations of genocide he also said the transfer of power to the people could come soon if handed handled smugly also coming up the phone still has to blithely behind bars for wiki leaks founder julian assange this is a rescue

a sort of freedom of speech for the capture of a dangerous tackle we look at the legal battle ahead. plus it's been nearly two years since a so-called islamic state sought to create a so-called caliphate in the philippines but local muslim rebels on the island of mindanao joined the military to help flush them out but is this a devastated region at risk of conflict once again our reporters were there to find out and have an exclusive report. from the moment that she good to have your company sudan's military rulers have said they will not extradite a tougher president bashir he faces an arrest warrant for alleged genocide in the western darfur region issued by the international criminal court but the medically say he may face trial in. saddam 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 mode as ecstatic but they also feel they've been cheated. after three decades of life under x. 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 a same vision. we do not accept this and we will stay on the streets and to the regime changes completely. the rules limiting it's not right that the government has repressed us and now still wants to see control and power over us. as young

people and citizens we see what's happening the government is manipulating us. not there cannot be another regime like this man is a bloodthirsty leader and he wants to bring is another regime. other most of this is completely unacceptable. the regime of fools of the study was in these people will not die how does this go to the local governments are 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 a studio i have down behind who's a sudanese human rights activist living here in berlin welcome and i'm thank you fled a sudan because you are facing. you should under the awful model of

a she what was your feeling when you heard that he's being pushed out of power was so what is happening after city yes where we lose beauty so much just because of time we look at people and therefore we also as a half of the country once would then be i was annoyed or nor so that's why for me it was a really happy but also sad moment when i must visit that is also just kind of a different feeling but i'm happy for that and that's happening so often it was announced that he had been pushed out and news came that there is going to be a military council which would govern the country for two yes it was huge disappointment among the protesters we're now hearing reports that the military council has said that they could be a transfer to civilian rule within 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 billions government not more army this is really

interesting point a moving forward but it's a point it's not about but also 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 set of this was killing these people for four months this is still coming. government for these months or something because what's the point now people discussing president except out. just before we came on the military analysts were giving a press conference it took them to jenice tell us about some of what they said one of the fed is saying also they wouldn't go to give the government now to the civilian government this is really important point words of people already demand they say also they will someday iraq's. and see what does.

martinique on what they also can i think this is also good point to have some how to but as i said before we have to wait now to see who would hold the diet coke because if the dough can hold again with some people who was bought out of the government before this is a problem because if for example he is also bought out of the old government and somehow he is also accused sometimes of go of organizing military and for then distills acquits it is there who will hold the daily as all these are actually because also you know because given the role of the military in the past thirty years. how much do you trust what this saying to you right now for me it was my my or disobedience was a government especially with this muslim brother is not so easy as us white people yesterday goes on a steady diet and they say we don't trust because the face who brings them the announcement of putting bugs the government over them or bashir who is also bought of the muslim brother this is the problem is also it still is there and that's why

we have to wait to see how they handle this if it is will be again sitting with the is a good point but how they will sit with it and who will be disappointed so do you think an important first step but we have to see what it takes to. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us in a sudanese and activist who is based here in berlin sunday for having me. now the un human rights body has urged judicial authorities to give the wiki leaks founder julian assange a fair trial australia has also weighed in on the case say assad an australian national would receive consular support but any u.s. extradition plans have nothing to do with the strain they were supporters of assad have had protests in sydney with the australian journalists union voicing its strong support for him assad is currently being held in custody in london but he is wanted in the u.s. on charges of revealing classified information his future has ignited a fierce debate after he was arrested at the ecuadorian embassy in london where he

had taken refuge in two thousand and twelve police strong armed a song out of the ecuadorian embassy in london handcuffed and protesting the bearded wiki leaks founder resisted leaving his refuge of almost seven years the arrest comes one day after wiki leaks accused the ecuadorian government of spying on a song secretly filming his meetings with lawyers and a doctor inside the embassy. ecuador had clearly had enough of the controversial guest in london accusing him of interfering in its foreign policies and violating the rules of asylum. it will be in the bottom a lot and in the next few hours the government will reveal some details of which the world is not yet aware that justify the decision taken by president moreno if they regard a songes stay 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 lane 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 want that join us on she would face prosecution extradition to the united states for his publishing activities with wiki leaks 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 with chelsea manning in relation to the materials published by with the legs in two thousand and ten the us justice department accuses the 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 sanch the forces 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 and in us a professor of law at the university of oslo and also a former special property here of the united nations working group on arbitrate detention welcome professor on the us now julie a soldier's lawyer says hey her clients detention is a breach of international law do you agree because they u.k. says he violated their laws well the united nations looked at this in two thousand and fifty in the united nations working group law which are the convention

which is the specialist book. and she. was held in north tension in violation of international law one that the u.k. authorities should release in my local struck two three there will movement and the obvious it 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 or in the sense of state from ation systems with different kinds of security devices now the problem with that is that 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 in 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 cart is in many countries in there been possible for them to restrict to bar ass from learning about these news so professor that is your thing that this case has huge implications for press freedom what do you think will happen now to jordan aside. well i'm really worried because 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 prime minister 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. it she then stood up and said that as our share have contributed to more press and bringing me a very important information to us all and also the neighbor leader after his down 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 this. politically there was also a very sad event in there the court where the magistrate had some very negative catches stations of mr sarge which were inappropriate and and which makes us who

are you know those are saying a pound of service internationalists here for the possibilities of a fair legal process it's not i started of very well we have to leave it then that and this professor from your at the university of us still and former special at the tail of the un working group on arbitrary detention thank you very much for your thoughts and did abigail thank you. it would have been the opposite but some of the stories making news around the bust in pakistan a bomb in a market in the south western 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 claimed responsibility for the bombing as yet but sunni militants have carried out similar attacks against the area before. and israeli spacecraft has crashed into the moon's surface just minutes before touched on the crash was due to

engine failure but israeli air space efficient still hailed the mission as a breakthrough for look cost small scale spacecraft and vowed to try again. in slovakia media reports say a former soldier charged with killing investigative journalist. has confessed to his mudda good sack and his feel say both twenty seven were shot dead last february as he was due to publish a report on government corruption. now to the mindanao island in the southern philippines which is known for its natural beauty but it's also a place where islamic states chose to create the so-called caliphate in southeast asia even before i escape to the sea in the mindanao had seen a long running struggle between its christian majority and minority in may two thousand and seventeen i is fight as i made them move a few hundred fighters seized the city of. the battle to flush them out devastated

the region did the reporters peaches mon and hans christian travel to mindanao to see what life is like there today. we are on patrol with the largest muslim rabbit group in mindanao the moro islamic liberation front m.i.l.f. for decades they fought for independent. 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. for the muslim minority strongly supports the m.i.l.f. only five percent of filipinos are muslims and almost all live in mindanao or their areas are among the poorest in the philippines many here blame the christian

majority government for their plight. we visit the military headquarters of the m.i.l.f. the government needs the rabbits to secure 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-s. we ask him what might happen if the autonomy project goes badly. people really become diminished. by this treasure. all. go in there. and become bigger. he tells us that they will disarm up to thirty thousand fighters

but only with full muslim autonomy. we will not. the commission of course lists and we will not give up our arms which we promised to the government. this is what both sides are trying to avoid and not my robbie the largest muslim city of the philippines lies in ruins bombed out after a few hundred s. 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 territory who ordered the bombing but he's also a strong supporter of muslim autonomy his film a peace advisor tells us. it is a struggle signal to the bad guys. this country i have been in the peace process

under several presidents and we have. far as we have this time the president feels that. if. 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 foreign i guess fighters might also decide that mindanao is the new front. and that's. a sandra greatest man who not joins me in the studio now welcome center first of all you were in mindanao in mojave with your colleague christiane osterman how difficult was it for you to food there for as long as we were in 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 old they decided where we could go 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 so-called 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 the rest of us 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 so the threat is still there and also if you think about 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 an as

a sect in the story then they're now i think could be the next front because there are local grievances there is a muslim insurgency happening so they can just tap into that as they did in two thousand and seventeen where the government is promised me to now a certain degree of autonomy is not a bitch to actually get support of local muslims and good against i guess 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 the president or to if he has such a reputation for his brutal dealing with the drug traffickers is he the man who could bring in the 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 a lot of people in mindanao voted for him because in fact he is the first philippine president to hail from him now so probably he does have a better understanding of the conflict then you know others before him united front if it is one of those who do have you with us on the in the studio. and you can see some of biggest manhunts christiane o's two months documentary philippines in the sights of i s. on a you tube channel that's documented. boy in chief executive say's a cruise have made nine hundred flights to test software updates on the troubled seven three seven max jet and have planned more in the coming weeks of this is in a bid to convince regulators to let the plane fly again it was this particular model of aircraft that crashed just over a month ago. right after takeoff in
