entire system a system that does lots does god give service equally to the people assess them that live people under poverty a system that does not also done as a country as a rich country with a human and natural resources to act as any other country in the world the new military council held its first meeting on sunday. over the weekend it also met with sudanese opposition leaders promising to rule for a maximum of two years while democratic elections are organized. opposition forces are in charge of appointing the prime minister and his cabinet for civilian government and calling on them to have united voice. but the crucial decision of who will become president is one the military council wants to keep for itself. back on the streets there are also demands that
5:04 pm
bashir is associates face justice. while the protests continue many are already painting a new picture of what life in sit down could look like. for you know. i do. whether that vision one last depends on what the military decides to do next. let's get more amish from sudanese activist and. or welcome to d.w. we'll start with a vis the city outside the sudanese army h.q. that's been going on for some time now for some days what are you hearing its legs it takes in six of after all which is actually all of this political transformation happened because of this big amount of people appearing the sitting to day in the morning there was attempt from the army to victor sitting but the protesters kind of close and may depress again it's on you which is successfully hold the place for
5:05 pm
for the for the purpose of the sit and which is make the army reason as a statement saying that we were not we were not attempting to sit through a big we were just coming to the space so basically there's kind of a victory for the for the protesters to keep on hold the space in front of the on how quarter no shooting no shooting it was like it and was a negotiation with the head of the army troops who came to take people out so this sounds like the country is actually in quite an interesting transition anyway because the fact that there was no shooting on the fact that the army sort of went in and then retreated that's significant isn't it yeah yeah basically that the army is like has made many people from the old the old regime is still there are in the poll and they want to keep this is transformation without keeping themself in sight so they wanted to start a negotiation because any kind of brutal act it will lead to mass demonstration more and it could also need to end of their role and of being in that or and so if we if we look at the people who are protesting that aside from regime change aside
5:06 pm
from the old president going to the to the protesters necessarily want the same thing. yeah the bridge this is the kind of main concerns from the beginning when people want to street something is called the declaration of freedom and change that made by so these professional association so made all the people came out to street and this declaration that it has to be fulfilled somehow and this demand now from the people all of them to do to fulfill the declaration that they have a consensus from the beginning and they also give. blood for it when they went in the street in one thousand of december and now there's kind of a political division is still but there's kind of mutual agreement which is declaration of freedom of change that a civil transition or civilian authority beeves a transition for a democratic society and the army council who is now in charge they say this will happen within two years do people believe this do you believe this there's old old time mistrust because the army was in the last thirty years in government governing this country and the army is is not is not an institution could be. that could be
5:07 pm
the way for for a democratic society and that was people demanding they need a civil society even in the transitional period that the army called for it now for two ears because civil polls could be the way for a democratic society and democratic transition and it's a country ready for to be run like a proper civilian democracy other political parties all the other effective political parties yeah and in this declaration of freedom of change there's many missions from the left to conservative to liberal parties inside this under this declaration of freedom of change and the polity since they exist of the modern so that now and actually there are now who are demanding to get the poet to demo or to technocrats authority that could. organize the social conflict which is need to democratic society and that we will watch and see how this changes of the coming days and weeks but for the thank you for joining us a sudanese activist and artist i met the south think. we'll take
5:08 pm
a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world environmental activists have blocked several key intersections and bridges in central london to call for action on climate change it was the first of two weeks of protest planned by a group calling itself extinction rebellion similar demonstrations were also held in other cities across europe. and japan they feel the sheema nuclear plants operator has begun to remove fuel rods from a cooling pool it's a milestone in the slow process of decommissioning but from the plant which suffered a meltdown after a tsunami in twenty eleven removing the rods is crucial to avoid further disaster if another earthquake hits. you member states of approved controversial copyright reforms have posed by u.s. tech giants like you tube and google reforms were agreed last month by the european parliament and have not passed the final stage before and it measures are intended to ensure the process the news publishers are paid silicon valley however argues
5:09 pm
that they will stifle online creative freedom. most inventive called was out once one of the germany's high stuff flying corporate honchos the head of germany's the largest car maker of volkswagen now has been charged with fraud german prosecutors say that t. and four other top managers knew for years that v.w. was cheating on emissions testing for its diesel cars the revelation of that cheating cost free to billions in fines around the world headquarters first car company boss to be charged over the scandal in germany. we have more on this there from robot watch from d.w. business welcome rob what is most in france a corn accused of well you mentioned serious fraud the prosecutors about used the word particularly serious fraud here in these four others are also accused of manipulating competition laws through the diesel emissions scandal so just
5:10 pm
a reminder of what that is what this is all about it's been dogging v.w. for years now but the company has admitted that between two thousand and seven and twenty fifteen it was using this software that meant that cars when they were being tested for emissions performed better in those tests than they did when they were actually on the road they were actually giving out more harmful chemicals when they were being driven martin vinta cohen says that he didn't know about that until just before it became public in twenty fifteen however prosecutors have been saying today that they think he knew about that at the very latest twenty fourteen but he didn't tell drivers and he didn't tell regulators ok so today's news is that he's facing legal troubles here in germany but this is just the latest of his legal battles yeah it is i mean he is actually got to an arguably bigger case to fight in
5:11 pm
the u.s. where v.w. is being sued he's being sued personally they're also calling for him to never be allowed to. take a leading role in any organization that has operations in the united states but of course he was never likely to be tried in the u.s. because germany doesn't extradite its citizens so now that he's been charged in germany he may actually end up having that day in court so what happens are just askin questions now i mean for v.w. it's the scandal that just won't go away that desperate to draw a line under this it cost them billions and billions of euros so funny just last year german prosecutors did find them a billion euro save the diesel emissions scandal in the us they've already been fined more than twenty billion euros over this scandal so they just want to be able to draw a line under it as martin vinta cornwell if he's convicted prosecutors say that he could face between six months and ten years behind bars the same goes for the other
5:12 pm
four executives they also face having any bonuses they made over the period during which this software was being installed in those cars taken away from them and there's been more bad news for german companies yeah it's not been a great few days we did find out over the weekend that diamond has been accused of not being completely open about the lengths they went to to hide the emissions from their cars it seems that on top of the seven hundred thousand cars they were made to recall there may have been of the sixty thousand cars that were cheating emissions tests so it's not a great time for the german automotive industry robots from v.w. business thank you. thing. now to finland where they have social democrats have won a narrow election victory over their populist rivals the fins party by margin of just no point two percent social democrats took nearly eighteen percent of the vote giving them forty seats in parliament well short of the one hundred one needed for
5:13 pm
a majority so this means party data on t.v. and well have to build a coalition if he's to become the country's first leftwing prime minister and more than twenty years. finland social democrats celebrating their victory in sunday's parliamentary elections even though there when came with the slightest possible margin one single seat. i. thought i i. i. i i i for finland social democrats the thrill of victory could soon be replaced by the bleak reality of trying to form a governing coalition that stu to the surprise showing of you see how the whole is anti immigration finn's party who came in second by just one seat add to that the
5:14 pm
poor performance of the center party the social democrats could have a hard time putting together center left coalition making it a bittersweet victory for the party's leader and even a. i like it's a big spike difficult to say what really happened for some reason the fins party managed to get their voters out on election day and this is what we saw during the elections it's clear that the political field has changed and now we have equal size parties unfinished society this is a european phenomenon i and indeed europe has been looking closely at finland's election it's being seen by many as a bellwether for how your. skeptic populous parties could fair in next month's european parliamentary elections the finns party as part of an alliance the could become the strongest faction in the european parliament and could radically change e.u. policies on migration families and the environment. a month after cycling
