a protested down the 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 veteran president omar al bashir was forced from power. but these people don't want the army in charge. no longer than a month ago 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 flip that. on monday said dunn's 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. the situation has been exploited by other factions and by sleeper cells of the old regime and others who are still targeting his revolution. the generals may claim out they she is only god was responsible for this violence that increasing tensions between the military and civilian protest is too plain to see. why the demonstration is refused to go quietly talks between the 2 sides continue.

to cause one and karim has recently returned from the forces in sudan's welcome. so i know that you've maintained your contacts there what are you hearing about this latest situation what i heard is i talked to one of the people i trust on him hard to him and his also at the sit in area and they were yesterday really surprised when suddenly people were shooting at them and suddenly having chaos all around and actually till now it's not clear what happened you know they know they don't know who are the people who are shooting because the military says it's not us we're doing it some of the protesters according to what my contact told me they think it's the military but the military is saying no it's our supporters of. our bashir so they are still questions but actually different opinions but this till now there is no facts the situation. has been intensified over the last couple of

weeks despite the talks between protesters and the military what's driving this intensification i would see i would say like this the the protesters they want to civilian counsel military is still the one ruling today they did different concessions for the protesters but the protesters saying no you have to hand over power to a civilian council. some are talking it's not fact this analysis is people on the ground telling me there might be also be a division among the military where some of them are saying. it's enough now we have to act and others are saying no let's calm down and be and continue ruling and listening to what the protesters want so actually it's they it's a circle they want a civilian council the military council says who should we hand over to because the protestors among its among themselves are not united you don't have

a group of people who say we are like example 5 people and we are representing today the entitled military side that's not the fact they are not united they are divided and that's again what the military is taking advantage of and the shooting is a siege is significant i would guess because if you have. civilians who have to pose the president and you have a militia counsel who who is who are in charge yes essentially by permission of the mob you don't really want to start shooting them no actually not by you till now we don't know again you know different analysis but no you don't know because till now it is it was peaceful to sit in area i was there to sit in the area it is peaceful people so when you talk to the protesters say the military is protecting us the military is responsible for our security we want the military but we want want

a military that is ruling us they should hand over the power so the military to now didn't shoot until now they say we are we are not the one responsible for it but at the same time they should be the one responsible also because they are taking care of security and that's why they should be taking care of the security of the protesters so the big issue as far as the military is concerned ok who do we hunt power to what else is holding up these 2. i think that's them. that's the biggest thing like to to hand over to whom do we want to hand over and the other side some say also that the military themselves have interests in ruling the next the transitional. days of 2 or 4 years because we just look to the neighbors to egypt and we know what's happened in egypt today you have a president who was part of the military and that's why in khartoum a tradition the military is part of the ruling structure and you never know to know if they are just being nice or really they have their own strategy but they taking

it step by step but i think till now when you see how persistent and how determined the protesters are it won't be easy for the military to take this next step and say we want to stay because the 1st the protest as we see it in pictures i felt it there i saw this i saw it in the eyes of the people there really determine after 30 years they say it's enough and they don't want the scenario that happened in egypt to happen again they learned you know people learned the arab spring among each other they learned when you look to algeria sudan are saying we want to or now we want things happen again 30 teacher because politics kareen thank you thank you. not just of the other stories making news around the world turkey's military has launched a massive exercise in the mediterranean the g. and black sea for the 2nd time this year the defense ministry says 130 warships and almost $26000.00 members of the armed forces are involved the drills come amid new

secretary of state by pompei which is russian counterpart sergey lavrov have met in the russian black sea resort of sochi after discussing the arms control iran and syria mr pompei is expected to meet russian president vladimir putin the 2 men describe it also is constructive amazed at recent tensions between the washington and moscow news is arms control liberation. understood to. begin that are these very nice stable relationship d.w. correspondent drugs sort of has been following the basic welcome how do messes lavrov under pumpin who want to improve relations. well phil bumpier and lover of sad that small steps are necessary to improve the relationship lara said it's time to work together constructively whatever that means and promptly or on 3rd we are committed to improve the relationship with

russia but what does it mean in practical terms of president trump maybe committed to improve the relationship with mr putin but what about democrats in congress who are not certain will not listen sanctions against russia and mention that during the press conference when we talk about russia moscow is of course not willing to give back crimea sorry for saying of course but this is from my point of view the realistic term that must be used right now and pierce said that washington doesn't want war with iran but at the same time i'm asking myself is washington willing to come back to the negotiating table respect the nuclear treaty with iran that america russia china and of course europe have signed i i don't think so right now so sorry phil for so being so pessimistic right now but i don't expect any breakthrough today so on the iran. given that the 2 are on the opposite sides who is going to need to make

a concession in order to bring about this this flare in the villains. i think right now america has to step back a little bit and say what compare saturday during the press conference we don't want war we would like to come back to the negotiating table right now i'm not sure whether the hawks are stronger in washington and tehran and then the one who would like to come back to the negotiating table it's hard to tell but from from moscow but moscow of course doesn't want any war in this area and iran is a close ally to moscow in iraq so rich in moscow thank you. the german the pharmaceutical stocks chemicals giant a buyer lost another lawsuit related to brough into the way gell is made by monsanto which by acquired recently a jury found in favor of

a couple who contracted cancer after using the product in the water than $2000000000.00 in damages and there are many more lawsuits in the pipeline. 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 however that may and it was caused by round of. instance our lives forever. we can't do the things that we used to be able to do and we really resent monsanto for that. their lawyer told the jury and turned all 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

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've continuously told they are and monsanto are coming after them investors seem to have come to the conclusion that buyers woes won't end anytime soon since its takeover of monsanto back in june of 2018 virus 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 month sento takeover. of germany's chancellor has been addressing international climate talks here. until america announced that she wants german ministers to find a way for the country to become koppen neutral by 2050 the chancellor explained

that this wouldn't mean germany would stop emitting greenhouse gases entirely rather the country would offset its emissions through reforestation and the carbon capture. changes to the climbers are monitored by side is from the european space agency one of the projects is to restart to see distribution of the earth's surface water and groundwater the grace follow on satellite mission. records changes in the earth's mass caused by movements of bodies of water. this is how earth looks if its gravity field is shown not completely round it's an imperfect spear with dense and bulges and this is how the twin satellites of the grace follow on mission see it they orbit the earth 15 times each day and monitor its mass which constantly changes especially the masses of water on the earth's surface and in the ground satellites are the best way to observe waters and flow

across the entire planet. using microwaves they measure the distance between one another to the 1000th of a millimeter the satellites gravitate to varying degrees and their orbit depending on how big the mass beneath them happens to be this gravitational pull changes the distance between the satellites the water budget can then be calculated from the date and they collect. every month the satellites deliver a new snapshot of the constantly changing distribution of mass on and in the earth the data will help to better document the impact of climate change. for example how quickly the polar ice caps are melting the previous mission has already shown that between 222016 the greenland ice sheet melted faster than previously believed.

every year about $270000000000.00 tons of ice are being lost there. and with the satellites help researchers can now monitor the global water budget. and they can examine how far the ground water level has sunk due to over use or how climate change alters precipitation and the distribution of water new insights from outer space into the life processes of our earth. or years of. director of the european space agency's observation programs he joins us from the living planet symposium in milan italy welcome to the w. what do missions like grace tell us about the state of the planet. is a really interesting mission because it provides information about certain aspects of the climate in particularly the water bodies and changes to the gravity but

there are a number of satellites so who are complementing measurements and therefore really provide a larger view of how the climate changes and what impacts and affects our climate change in particular you have mentioned water and ice caps there's also other missions like us out there or s moss who are measuring really the changes of the mass balance and the ice balance and therefore giving essential measurements so far of what the state of our climate is how much ice is melting and how this affects our water levels and also finally increase of 4 temperatures or so as part of overall global change so clearly climate change is a hugely contentious political issue depending on where in the world you are you know the science as you go where you gather the data and then do what's with it does your data gathering actually have any impact on policy. i hope they do

but we really gather. information that cannot be disputed because these are facts what we're measuring it's not fake news it's it's a real measurement so we're taking from our home our satellites and they are using the same instrument globally so even if you take a measurement over germany another one away another one over america are you still use the same instrument and therefore you can to really compare these measurements and this of course is essential in the climate debate where sometimes so it is not not easy to compare measurements and observations but what we do as the space agency is we provide the observation which of course then leads to a better understanding of your system and do a better understanding of what the climate may may look like or how in which direction it evolves what is crucial and this is the task of politicians to transform and translate these measurements and observations into decisions that then change the behavior of people in order to protect our planet so what i'm not

even sure you can answer this is it's a political question but what do you think when you see the dates of it you've gathered whether it be from this man mission or elsewhere taken by politicians and twist and say well this makes no sense and this makes no sense and no climate change is not really a thing. climate change is not fake i mean i can assure you we measure this every day and we have very clear data which confirm that the climate has been changing since a couple of decades now and this changing faster days nothing to dispute i mean this is this is reality and this is going to be disputed but i think what really is needed is a dialogue between the science community between the space agencies and really to politicians and the society at large and willie outlined what these measures show and what needs to be done in order to protect our own living own home planet there's no other planet we have at our disposal we have only

a planet and no planet b. and therefore i think decisions need to be made in order to protect it. well in your and yours if africa and the european space agency thank you thank you very much and the curtain goes up on the film festival this evening the opening for the official premier of u.s. director jim jarmusch comedy horror that dead don't die in the south of france they've been rolling out that carpet for tonight's star guests 21 films have been chosen for the competition section quentin tarantino from british filmmaker ken moche and spain's pedro almodovar are some of the other big names ending the event which is now in its 72nd year. and scott is there right next to the red carpet welcome scott what we expect this year.

well thanks yes this year you listed off some of the the big highlights obviously the biggest on everyone's waiting for is quentin tarantino's new film once upon a time in hollywood with leonardo dicaprio margo roby. and brad pitt that's happening next week and it's going to be the biggest event at the festival this year but cannes really trying to up its game after being put in the shadow a bit by the venice film festival which had a much better films of the last couple of years cannes trying to really assert its position as the number one film festival and it seems have done pretty good job especially with tonight's opening night film you mention death jim jarmusch is the dead don't die pretty impressive piece of work it's really a zombie film for the trump era let's take a look. peaceful. something terrifying. something for

a farming. is coming. on. the dead don't die since an all star group of cops including bill murray. thank and zombie hipster icons including he popped the living was banned together to survive this was really awful maybe the worst thing i've ever seen was no holiday so. i'm thinking zombies why. the undead. ghoul's jim jarmusch is a classic american outsider filmmaker. he started making offbeat movies in the $1980.00 s. going against the period's bright colors and conspicuous consumption his stars were far from the mainstream and his films showed eccentric characters on odd missions often without a hollywood happy ending. it worked his taste in stories and casting as well as his

dry wit in dared him to a generation of critics and viewers who were looking for something different. over the years and jarmusch broaden his appeal and developed a stable of actors this includes adam driver who starred in his previous film patterson with about a bus driver who writes poetry like a shoe box and later you hear there was a 4th dimension. time. the dead don't die takes viewers away from that day late world a return to the shadows for a director who's always seem to thrive in the dark. to choose just a short. to do. so let's go back to scott rose for. scott's that's a whole lot of movie stars should we expect to get some glamour and low cut dresses the red carpet said tonight or is made to put an end to all of that.

no no it hasn't it's definitely going to be another night of glitz glamour and sex appeal on the red carpet as it always is here in cannes to has made a bit of an impact here it's a point of discussion but when it comes to strolling up the red carpet looking your best as a bad or a woman that's never going to change as long as the cannes film festival keeps going now french alone is expected to receive an honorary prize and that spoke to better control why. yes you might know he's a really legendary french actor particularly for his work in the 1960 s. and seventy's and he is supposed to be getting a lifetime achievement award palme d'or for his his body of work this caused a lot of controversy because it is a very outspoken. supporter of the far right here in france and he's made some very

controversial comments including talking about slapping women criticizing same sex marriage and adoption by same sex couples and the comments have made this choice of picking him for a lifetime achievement award very controversial here at the cannes film festival is sticking to its guns and it saying it's not giving him the award because of his political views or his personal views but simply because of his work as an actor which they say deserves to be honored in this way but it's definitely going to stay controversial particularly in the wake of me too because cannes is seen by a number of people to be really behind the curve when it comes to recognizing the people who've come forward to complain of sexual harassment within the film industry we'll see what happens when dion gets his award and we'll see how long this controversy lasts. thank you so much.
