already painting a new picture of what life inside done could look like. for you know. i'm just. whether that vision one last depends on what the military decides to do next. is get more omission 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 do you hear it's like this it's an x. in six of afro which is actually all of this political transformation happened because of this big amount of people appearing the sitting today in the morning there was attempt from the army to viktor sitting but the protesters kind of close i mean the prick hates it when it's on you which is successfully hold the place for 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 say to

a victim we were just coming to clean the space so basically there's kind of a victory for the for the protesters to keep a hold of the space in front of the on how courts are no shooting and no 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 you because the fact that there was no shooting and the fact that the army sort of when say and then retreated that's significant is that yeah yeah basically that the army is like has made many people from the old the old regime is still there in the poem and they want to keep this is transformation without keeping themselves inside so they wanted to start negotiation because any kind of brutal act it will lead to mass demonstration more and it could also need to end of their rule also or end of being there or and so if we if we look at the people who are protesting that aside from regime change aside from the old president going to the to the protesters

necessarily want the same things. yeah the bridge this is the kind of main concerns from the beginning when people want to streets something is called the declaration of freedom and change that made by cities professional association so made all the people came out to the street and this declaration that it has to be fulfilled somehow and this demand now from the people all of them 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 babe's 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 a institution that can pave the way for

a democratic society and that with people demanding they need a civil society even in the transitional period that the army called for it now for to eat is civil because civil polls could be the way for a democratic society and democratic transition and is a country ready for to be run like a proper civilian democracy other political parties of effective political parties yeah under this declaration of freedom of change there's many. from the left the conservative the liberal parties inside and the declaration of freedom of change and polity since they exist of the modern so that now and actually they are now who are demanding to get the poet to demo or to technocrats authority that could. organize the social conflict which is lead to a democratic society in that sense of this and we'll watch and see how these changes are coming days and weeks with an sank you for joining us a sudanese activist and artist at the south think. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world environmental

was once one of germany's highest flying corporate bosses the head of the country's largest carmaker volkswagen now he's been charged with fraud german prosecutors say he and four other top executives knew for years that volved falcons cheating emissions tests for its diesel cars the revelation of that cheating cost v.w. billions in fines around the world ventricle is the first car company to be charged over the scandal in germany. we have more on this now from robot watch from dieter of live business welcome rob what is martin vince a cone accused of well you mentioned serious fraud the prosecutors have actually 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 a reminder of what that is and 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 vinter cohen says that he didn't know about fast until just before it became public in twenty fifteen however prosecutors have been saying say 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 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 to go away that desperate to draw a line under this it's cost them billions and billions of euros so funny just last year german prosecutors did find them a billion euros over the diesel emissions scandal in the u.s. 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 for martin vince a 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 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 the 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 to robots from daily business thank you. and finland's social democrats of want to narrow election victory over their populist rivals the finn's pati of the margin was just no point two percent social democrats took maybe eighteen percent of the vote giving them forty seats in parliament well short of the one hundred one they need for a majority so that means party leader. will have to build a coalition if he's to become the country's first left wing prime minister more

than twenty years. finland social democrats celebrating their victory in sunday's parliamentary elections even though their win 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 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 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 euro skeptic populist parties could fare in next month's european parliamentary elections the finn's party is 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. you're watching news live from berlin still to come. a german becomes a surprise
