12:12 pm
that ousted longtime president omar al bashir. security forces chase a protest and down this street in sudan's capital khartoum they whip him and beat him before he appears to run away. across the city protesters have been blocking roads as they try to increase pressure on the ruling generals to step down. a military council took over last month after a veteran president omar al bashir was forced from power. but these people don't want the army in charge. no longer get a month ago and the old regime has not fallen yet so we're staying you've seen with your own eyes the oppression we've escalated our protests because we reject the decisions by the transitional military council we've blocked knol street to pressure the government we want to ensure our voices are heard we hate what they're doing they even use whipsaws. who we're going to focus. on monday said dunn's
12:13 pm
military council and opposition groups finally agreed to a power structure for the country's transition. the. protesters want civilian rule but the makeup of the governing bodies has yet to be agreed. just after these pictures were filmed at least 5 sudanese protesters and an army major was shot dead on tuesday the ruling generals blamed supporters of the former regime and the situation has been exploited by other factions and by sleeper cells of the old regime and others who are still targeting its revolution. the generals may claim al bashir is old guard was responsible for this file and it's increasing tensions between the military and civilian protest is all too plain to see. why the demonstrators refer. used to go
12:14 pm
quietly talks between the 2 sides continue. uber him as just returned from sudan where she's been covering the protests for us and she joins us in our studio why are we seeing this escalation now i mean it's been a couple of weeks of relative calm i would say since the beginning of the holy month of ramadan there have been some sporadic attempts by unknown forces to disperse the barricades that are that are everywhere around the sit in and this is exact this is what happened sort of with more intensity last night that the forces were trying to disperse the barricades over these borders that the protesters have put up surrounding the city and now the barricades is a very sensitive topic for the for the protesters they see this as as the 1st line of defense for for their sit in one of the barricades that there was an attempt to
12:15 pm
disperse that yesterday or is it done yesterday was where i went into the protests every day and one time i asked one of the people standing there in protecting why you saw a touch of this he said you know it's because our martyrs have paid with their blood for us to be able to put these structures appear so force if the protesters see any force trying to come and take this physical representation of their gains away they will defend it in mass in mass numbers and violence will occur although the protest leaders have yesterday during these attacks urged the protesters to stick to their peacefulness saying that peacefulness and nonviolence has been the ultimate weapon for the success of this movement well the military's denying any involvement in this violence what do we know about who's behind it are these supporters of the ousted president bashir it's very unclear the military has immediately put out a statement after the attack started blaming this on 3rd party groups that were said were quote unquote happy with the positive progress of the negotiation. as you
12:16 pm
know yesterday there was a brick breakthrough in the negotiations however my sources on the ground tell me that they have seen the rapid support forces among the forces that were that were trying to disperse these bank of course the rapid support forces and elite unit of fighters under former president i'm going to share many of the fighters come from the militia that has been condemned in darfur in the darfur massacres and in the for human rights violations is all of this and come from the military has again distanced itself they are is that itself is a paramilitary group so operates at times under the military but also as a times under the government that has been sent by the bashir forces to fight on the side of the side of the coalition in yemen so there is reason to believe that
12:17 pm
they might feel threatened by the negotiations although the protesters are so are not convinced by what the military says so far just very quickly what's your what's your perspective on this how do you think this violence is going to impact those talks i think it is definitely soured the mood on the streets among the protesters who's distrust of the military has now been exacerbated and made even worse however my sources inside the news professionals association have told me that the meeting with the military council will go on today as a schedule 1 pm but it remains to be seen this meeting was supposed to be the meeting where they iron out the details of this new sovereign council but the mood on the streets and for chair and i was the mood of sorrow and mourning for the people that lost their lives last night all right our reporter for him in studio with us here thank you so much. now a california jury has awarded more than $2000000000.00 to a couple who says monsanto's roundup week killer caused their cancer it is the
12:18 pm
latest headache for a german company buyer it bought monsanto in a blockbuster deal last year to date buyers share price tumbled by around 5 percent this was the 3rd lawsuit to award damages over roundup and many more are pending. and alberta pilly odds say roundup caused their cancer so they sued even though a lot of people believed they wouldn't stand a chance against buyer in court. we've been finding cancer for. 9 years now. and it was caused by a round of. changed our lives forever. we can't do the things that we used to be able to do and we really resent. for that. their lawyer told the jury and turn over documents prove to monsanto wasn't interested in determining how dangerous its product is now by a has been hit with $2000000000.00 in compensation an astronomical sum even by
12:19 pm
american litigation standards and things could well get much worse for the chemicals giant. this is not the end of this litigation this is the beginning there are tens of thousands of people out there probably 203040000 people and i have continuously told bayer and monsanto are coming after them investors seem to have come to the conclusion that buyer's woes won't end any time soon since its takeover of monsanto back in june of 2018 buyer shares have plummeted by more than 40 percent the company says that it will appeal the decision and continues to deny that roundup causes cancer but increasingly it appears by a might have seriously underestimated the long term cost of its monsanto takeover. manmade trash has reached some of the deepest points on planet earth submarine explore victor of a school though was inside the mariana trench in the western pacific ocean when he
12:20 pm

12:21 pm
this conference and his speech showed how many obstacles are still on the way and how many obstacles have to be overcome until we reach the actual united nations climate change conference at the end of this year in a sense jago did she live for instance this conference today house the title making paris happen and paris as we all know in 2015 the world reached the agreement to limit global warming by 2 percent but until now not very much has happened many countries didn't deliver at all and other countries like the united states and paris and brazil they say well we are going to be actually be just him on this any more we want to withdraw from this and. clearly addressed this said international cooperation is very important and it's very important that especially the developed countries reach that is responsibility and. make a strong commitment to these targets here's what you have to say. the question is
12:22 pm
not what are the costs to reach these targets but how much will it cost us if we do not take action not everyone in the world is convinced but it would cost much more so it does not see the huge progress that all this of course goes to the direction of u.s. president only from the brazilian new president both sonora both of them have been very critical on reducing carbon dioxide emissions speaking of criticism there's been plenty of criticism here in germany that the country is not meeting its own climate policy goals what the chancellor have to say about that absolutely true i. did say and she had to make that germany will not reach its climate gold for the next year in 2020 germany wanted to cut down its carbon dioxide emissions by 40 percent compared to 1900 said well this is not going to happen but she also stressed out that it's much more important now to reach the even more ambitious goals of 2030 then germany wants to cut its emissions by 55 percent compared to in
12:23 pm
1990 until then jump. on today shows announced already heard that she wants to join the french initiative to become climate neutral something she has been opposing so far into those today she announced well i had a little rethink is what you have to say. we couldn't be a business how can we reach the target of becoming climate neutral my 2050 would be the discussion must not be on whether we should but on how many couldn't if we can find a positive answer then we should join the initiative of these european countries and i do hope that we can do this using these rules and on she also said that she is open to putting a price tag on the emissions something she's also been opposing very very directly in the past so this shows that germany's building towards something like a carbon tax something especially her government didn't like an old naming untouched but it could be that germany joins all the countries like sweden or
12:24 pm
switzerland who already have a common tax and i would see that within the next 23 years all right our correspondent will benefit of all covering this our climate conference here in berlin for us thank you so much for what. now it's a big weekend ahead for fans of camp pop music and cutthroat nationalism that's right it's a eurovision song contest which takes place in tel aviv on saturday. this is nehta barfield last year's winner roadways that brought the european countries to israel she was one of dozens of contestants were 1st thing out of the live shows which will be watched on t.v. by tens of millions of viewers. by jervy looks set to prop up the bottom of the standings once again but when it comes to the staging the country is in a league of its own in fact this will be the 6th time germany's slowly on vita has designed the sets for europe's premier pop gala. the final run up to the
12:25 pm
euro vision song contest in tel aviv a key test room for florian feeder. he designed the backdrop for the show the biggest competition of its kind on the planet. now we get a chance to see whether everything works as planned. the bruno boards it's all it's a big set and big venue but the stage itself is actually relatively small and that creates an intimate party atmosphere even though when viewed as a whole it of course looks gigantic. unison course also. is the 6th time the german stage designers shape the look of the contest the 1st rehearsals every participating country like poland is responsible for its own performance but one design element reappears again and again the triangle it's a reference to the star of david and its rainy symbol. the expo exhibition center
12:26 pm
tell of eve is the venue for this year's european song contest the most complex aspect is coordinating with the various country delegations and israeli t.v. producers. it's not easy to do a search for your vision we have 4141 countries when we need a lot of versatility and i think you can see the floor and stage a lot of versatility guys who beat us this concept of course it's important to me that the whole thing looks good and works visually but the most important thing of all is that it works as a whole. you can only judge that after the show. and when it's over i'm happy if it all went well would leave florian vader has done far more than create a stage for a competition with a 29000 euro vision song contest he sets a new milestone for stage design.
