deadly force to break up a protest camp in hard to. joining us now from nairobi is mohamed el name a sudanese activist mohammed thanks for joining us the deputy head of sudan's ruling military council said snipers shot up to 6 civilians you just watched that press conference what is your reaction. well yeah in addition to saying that he also said that the unknown spy snipers had killed a few r.s.s. soldiers i think that the credibility of the transitional military council should be put to question because they have a history of this on the city and it seems to me that it would be very convenient for them to claim that this occurred considering the fact that for months these protesters have been very disciplined in their. violence or you're in touch with those protesters on the ground what are they telling you.

what we do know for a fact is that people are in the streets in millions that the vast majority of people if not all are maintaining nonviolent stance and as one of the slogan says we started this peacefully and we will end this peacefully. and they question the credibility of these reports. and believe that. everybody else should as well. you yourself earlier in addition to that story though. in addition to that there have been reports of. sniper fire in the eastern city of casella and these videos have been distributed on social media so. yeah it's good to know ok so more than one report listen you took part in many demonstrations before you left with the beginning of the month after the military

opened fire on protesters on june the 3rd today's demonstration is the biggest since that day what goes through your mind as you watch this protest evolve well i just amazed by the momentum of the protests i'm amazed to find the people going into the streets and what's what's most surprising about this is that people have been able to organize themselves without using the internet there has been a huge internet crackdown and millions of people have been taking to the streets demanding immediate civilian government and demanding justice for those that been killed in these demonstrations coming after a week's long standoff between the ruling military council and protest leaders what would you like to see happen when all of this is over. well i would like to see an immediate handover to a civilian government under no conditions whatsoever and i would like to see an end to the transitional military council and its regional backers. keep their end to

them postponing any solution to the problems that are occurring today and i would like to see international support for our aspirations to have a free and democratic civil state. ok mohamed el sudanese activist in nairobi thank you very much. it's being called an historic event u.s. president donald trump has met with north korean dictator kim jong un in the demilitarized zone between north and south korea where both leader shared a symbolic handshake trump is the 1st sitting u.s. president to enter north korea he described today's events as without precedence. this has never happened before an american president stepping foot to north korea crossing a line that has divided the peninsula for nearly 70 years trump said he did not know until the very last moment whether the meeting would take place. this point

handshake is all it was supposed to be when trump made his surprise off while at the g. 20 summit in osaka. but then there was more kim said he hoped the moment would signal and new beginning after the breakdown of nuclear talks in february. but even still does it one question what it was i believe that just looking at this auction is an expression of his willingness to eliminate all the unfortunate past and open a new future. on the market but. then trump went further saying he would invite him to the u.s. and the white house. minutes later at a joint news conference he said it was the personal friendship between the 2 need is that helped to diffuse tension you develop a great relationship i really think that if you go back to whatever years and you look at what was going on prior to my becoming president it was

a very very bad situation a very dangerous situation for south korea's a good career for the world. in the end what was supposed to be a brief encounter turned into a 15 minute meeting also involving the president of south korea kim and trump have agreed to start working talks on pyongyang's nuclear weapons but it is unclear whether down the line this will remain any more than a photo op for a president keen to leave a nothing legacy here or your. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. in hong kong tens of thousands of people rallied in support of the city's police some marchers carried chinese flags showing their support for beijing's government rally follows weeks of mass opposite opposition protest in hong kong during which critics accuse police of using excessive force. a public appeal by german celebrities has raised

over a 1000000 euros for the captain of a migrant rescue ship arrested by italian authorities. that was detained after forcing her vessel carrying 40 migrants into an italian port following a week's long standoff with officials. in new leaders are in brussels 1st special summit to choose who will fill the blocks top positions following european elections the leaders of france and germany have been at odds over how to allocate the jobs with the appointment of commission president proving one of the biggest headaches. ever think is here about the top secret it's the 2nd time that e.u. leaders are meeting to discuss who should be the commission's next president the head of the special summit french president manuel mccrone said he was optimistic of a breakthrough. it's important that we come away from the summit with answers and a new team unlike last week mccrone isn't expressing any clear preferences this

time if you do. one of the criteria is competent and i can name some names. my great best friends to mamma. the goal is a candidate e.u. members can agree on and one who doesn't divide many eastern european countries are opposed to the netherlands fronts to months whose criticized poland and hungary for lapses in the rule of law something they haven't forgotten. i'm afraid this person is number believe the right one to. tell you the same thing the possibility we were doing the police was much more similar to both the phone and the region. it's a complicated equation to balance with all players seeking to weigh in. the e.u.'s leadership should represent interests across the block east and west gender equality in both big and small countries promo still in the side is just very important to also the see that your profit growth products 28 e.u.

members including the united kingdom that means $28.00 national egos to balance and then there's the european parliament which also wants to have its say german chancellor angela merkel warned a difficult compromise of the head to be the sitting in the way things stand the talks are going to be easy to put it mildly the european parliament or at least 2 of its political groups are committed to the principle of selecting one of their candidates so i think it's going to take a while though and that's the focus so it looks like another long night in brussels but this time leaders have to come up with names that they can present to the new european parliament when it convenes this week. in turkey police have used tear gas and rubber bullets to break up a rally by l. g.b.t. people marking an annual gay pride day in istanbul gay rights groups and activists had defied an official ban on the event to gather in the city the pride of and has

been banned in turkey since 2014 when 100000 people took part in the march the turkish government outlawed pride describing the l g b t community as objectionable to society. for more on that i'm joined by the correspondent dorian jones dorian you were at the pride gathering today was there hope that police would not break up the march. indeed there was such hope since a short fic tree last sunday of the opposition in winning the match ship of istanbul. did say that he would try to lift the ban and speak to the city governor but it seems that those attempts had failed although the police did allow the hundreds possibly thousands of l g p p t people to gather in the back streets and they did carry out their celebrations until the police then got the orders to break it up and they did that using large amounts of gas and police snatched up some riot police and for hours off that that there was

a game of cat and mouse all through the back streets as they tried to chase the people out of the center of the city and how is the situation of the g.b.t. community in turkey as a whole at the moment well they have been impacted along with the wider toxicity on this crackdown on democracy and off the claims of a growing authoritarianism of the president groups have been closed down and other activists have been detained in this general crackdown but homosexuality still remains legal in turkey does it has ever since the formation of the republic in 1023 but the problem has always been that. people have complained they haven't been able to express their sexuality in public there's been little tolerance of that that's why pride was seen as so in full to that really did help to change people's attitudes in fact the last legal. march in istanbul so maybe 100000 people got ok the fact that it has now been banned still remain committed to keeping it alive
