2:02 pm
bashir in april opposition leaders all say the new deal is a victory for the movement. celebrations in the capital khartoum as a political standoff deescalate in a gesture of peace sudan's ruling military freed more than $200.00 rebel fighters who are part of the country's opposition a step towards reconciliation one rebel leader praised their release. well i mean the limit is that it shows clearly that the army and the armed forces are our partners and not our enemy. army and i want your cooperation and understanding we will meet the demands of the sudanese people the status of that those demands are 1st civilian rule it's been the heart of the conflict which began after the military ousted long time leader omar al bashir activists called for
2:03 pm
a transition to a civilian government an impasse ensued and then bloodshed in june security forces opened fire on a protest camp in the capital leaving more than $100.00 dead but after a month the warring sides were at the table again in power sharing talks mediated by the african union and ethiopia after 2 days a breakthrough was announced. and the mission isn't the 2 parties have agreed to share the sovereign council equally between the military and civilian for the period of at least 3 years. with the they have also agreed on an independent civilian government under the leadership of a prime minister. in a further sign of healing they also agreed to launch a national independent investigation into the deaths of the sudanese who were
2:04 pm
killed in the fight for democracy. and interviews i e bergen joins me in the studio now for some analysis i you have reported extensively from sudan for us tell us about the significance of this deal it's a significant deal in that it is actually it is the culmination of about 2 and a half months of 7 this uncertainty between the protesters and the military and ago that have been going on and off since the removal of ahmed of bashir on april 11th . but this is by no means the 1st time that it looks like the military council and the protesters have reached a deal there were many ups and downs in this almost 3 month period with the military sometimes backing away from quite big concessions at the very last minute so it remains to be seen if the deal will actually hold however this is the 1st time that we have a deal that is a result of a mediation before that it was the military council and the protest leaders negotiating directly with each other but this is the 1st fruit of the african union
2:05 pm
and the ethiopian mediators and the most important thing to remember the most significant thing about this deal is that this is not this is by no stretch of the imagination a civilian civilian rule because there might be confusion people went out demanding civilian rule what people are telling me is and still what they want this is a power sharing agreement that may or may not lead to civilian rule in a couple of years following the culmination of the transitional period but that remains to be seen in case so potentially a good 1st step as you say you're in touch with people in sudan what are they saying do they have confidence that this is going in the right direction so before we get into what people are saying it's important to remember that all of this entire negotiation is happening with a near internet blackout that affects most of the people in sudan and the internet was cut off by the state and so the state obviously has command of the of the
2:06 pm
of the official channels of communication so state media with that being said we were able to reach some people on the ground and the reactions have been mixed there's a general feeling that it's a compromise but there were no other options that the forces of freedom change had to realize that any kind of agreement would have to involve the military and that some compromise needs to needed to be. reached and that the t.m.c. had to be included which would show which was not always. the aspiration of the of the protest movement but there are people that are disappointed and you know they are disappointed to still see to still see the faces that have that were prominent in the bashir era whether it's amityville commander or burn who is the head of the transitional military military council there's also end of the important clause in this agreement that was to investigate the atrocities on the streets but then there are big question marks about whether the people that are allegedly complicit in
2:07 pm
these atrocities can investigate themselves how fair would that be and. as we've been saying it remains it really remains to be seen if this agreement will hold because at any time the military still commands the power to basically call it off and take power completely aren't even thanks so much. italian authorities have barred another migrant rescue ship from docking on the island of lampedusa the boat is carrying more than 50 migrants pulled from the mediterranean off the libyan coast or thora he say the italian boat should take the people on board to molt but the humanitarian group rescue operating it says the rescued migrants are in no state to make a detour like that. yet another heavily laden boat on route to the italian island of lampedusa the alex and co was built as a recreational vessel but now it belongs to a charity its current role saving lives on board of 54 migrants rescued

16 aircraft and the government of national accord cannot prevent of sixteen's from launching attacks in libyan airspace and then we send a message that since we are obligated to protect migrants it is our duty to release them from the camps so they will not be bombed again. that means many more could soon risk their journey across the mediterranean but italy has shut its ports to boats like the alex and co impeding rescue efforts. on wednesday a grim reminder of the human cost about packed with migrants sank off the coast of tunisia. with no rescue boats nearby only 4 people were eventually saved by fisherman. one survivor recounted his ordeal. there were people. from mali the ivory coast.

2:14 pm
that report from burning out in hong kong and a short while ago he sent us this update from a demonstration where protesters mothers have turned out to demand peaceful policing by security forces. the last few days may have been more quiet and on kong after monday's dramatic events after protesters stormed the legislature this event is called for by a group of mothers these mothers have 1st appeared 3 weeks ago after police violently dispersed young protesters they have come out to say that their children do not deserve to be treated like this and they are out today again as the police is looking for those who stormed monday's legislature they say shattered glass does not measure up to human lives and they want to see their kids protected the government may have hoped that the more moderate parts of this protest movement would turn away after monday's events however we see no sign people here are
2:15 pm
convinced that the government is responsible for people's for the young people's anger. and. venezuela is accusing the united nations human rights chief of bias that is often michelle bachelet presented a damning new report on the country based on the government's own figures it found that many of the nearly $7000.00 killings jaring security operations in venezuela since the start of 2018 may have been extrajudicial executions it also said that nearly 800 people remain in custody after being aba trial really a rested and the un report found that 1500 deaths over 4 months and 201829000 were caused by a lack of hospital supplies. now addressing the un human rights council in geneva called on the venezuelan
2:16 pm
government to talk to the opposition rather than cracking down on it but encourage the government to view the opposition and human rights defender of partners in the common cause of human rights and justice and to plan the see through durable political agreement that leads to reconciliation and since the start of the year venezuela has been caught in both an economic crisis and a political standoff between president nicolas maduro as government and national assembly leader kwan the duros won a 2nd term in a disputed election last year and is resisting attempts to oust him by the u.s. backed opposition led by earlier this year why don't we declared himself interim president it's a crisis that has led to mass protests and forced millions to flee. the us president donald trump has led 4th of july celebrations in washington d.c. now the holiday marks america's independence from british rule and is usually
2:17 pm
focused on national unity trump sidestepped side step tradition though with what he called the show of a lifetime a speech to donors flanked by military vehicles and even by his standards it was an eye catching spectacle but did the event live up to the height height let's have a look. although it rained on his parade president donald trump had promise quite a show. including a beefed up military showing he had dubbed it a salute to america critics didn't like tanks being part of a national holiday celebration and many had wondered whether he would use a speech to the nation to campaign for reelection next year but he stuck to a nonpartizan script as we gather this evening in the joy of freedom we remember that all share a truly extraordinary heritage they gather we are part of one of the greatest stories ever told the story of america there were concerted efforts to speak to the
2:18 pm
nation as a whole but most to trump speech praised america's historic achievements focusing on the past our nation's creativity ingenius lit up the lights of broadway and the sound stages of hollywood it filled the concert halls and airwaves around the world with the sound of jazz opera country rock n roll and rhythm and blues it gave birth to the musical the motion picture the western the world series the super bowl the skyscraper the suspension bridge the assembly line and the mighty american automobile the show of a lifetime got some good reviews. i work for the military some of those airplanes that flew over i've actually worked on. it's a celebration of freedom i thought it was very good american focused patriotic speech avoided partisanship which was very welcome but some nonplussed.
2:19 pm
or just wondering like this is not a political day per se it's just an american day and a little concerned at all to political economy whatever history lessons that we all grew up in new like i like beating a dead horse so to speak about the future where we're going. from here is that where we were we know what we were just i want to work go in for a man who deferred his way out of the vietnam draft his version of the 4th of july was almost all about the mike that the u.s. military past and present. talk more about this i'm joined now by heading from the german council on foreign relations mr thank you thanks for joining us. what message was president trump sending to the world by showing off all of this military might he did not give a partisan speech as many have expected or feared it was a speech of unity and he was praising the american nation he was praising people who did service to the community but of course he spent most of his speech and
2:20 pm
praising the u.s. military he himself has not served but he wants to associate himself with the military because it is the one situation that is well regarded in america a lot like the media or the politics the military is strong and especially on the republican side but he also conveys an image of a military strong america because in many of the conflicts that he is going into iran possibly china the military dominance of america is crucial and i think this was in. the supplements are not so subtle message that he also wanted to send can we presume that baze 4th of july celebrations assessing the tone for trump's election campaign in a way yes because he wants to be seen as the president who who is the responsible politician for making america strong and powerful and this was the
2:21 pm
man message that in this speech that was only given to him sort of no today america is stronger than ever but i think in the in the campaign of course he wants to look like a statesman with the military behind him but in the campaign he will be much more competitive and he will he will be very very like angry and focused on. his possible opponents. absolutely now trump trump made a big deal of the large crowds gathered on the lincoln memorial for this event but his approval racing remains rather low doesn't it's around 40 percent where his greatest vulnerability is now that we're heading into the election campaign and i think the speech that we saw yesterday and all the discussion about the size of the crowd it's a waste of time when you look at what important political issues on the table but it's always an issue for him just as it was in the inauguration speech i think.
2:22 pm
the message that he sent reached his own electorate the people who supported him the trump fans but also a large part of the republican voters who would vote republican but not sure about him and it also served with the criticism and the militarists. discussion the democratic side the democratic side or the opponents the liberals so it didn't really break the. rift between the 2 i think he is vulnerable if he's donald trump as in the beginning again erratic reliable with like the scandals the scandal following scandal that would be bad for him because it would drive away the middle ground republican voters from the voting but from from the ballot box. this is why he wants to position himself as a statesman. the one who is in charge the one who is powerful instrument in his
2:23 pm
hands. so he doesn't want to be seen as sort of creepy. erratic erratic president that he was in the beginning of his term all right we shall see what happens in the next year having taken from the gem council relations thanks so much. now the u.s. is tightening sanctions against cuba by hitting its state run oil shipping firm and washington says it's. imposing new penalties on havana because of its role in propping up venezuela's president nicolas maduro whom president trump once removed from power the trump sanctions are hissing ordinary cubans who have been dealing with the consequences of a u.s. trade embargo the began nearly 60 years ago. former rizzuto america today is a good day there's fish for dinner cuba is surrounded by water but these days the 48 year old has to stand in line for over 2 hours to buy fish. sometimes when a product is available again now i call my brother or friend right away and say hey there's chicken here and i get in line. but for
2:24 pm
marie it's even more important than food is whether or not she can get her medication or her brothers both suffer from high blood pressure. we're living in a time of need that's the reality today. there was never really an excess of anything here but now even soap and toothbrushes are hard to come by staples like rice flour and beans are strictly rationed people here are lining up for chicken. older people are very often overwhelmed just recently a woman waiting in line right in front of me collapsed. cuba has been hit hard by american sanctions cubans living in exile can't send as much money back to their families now nonetheless cuba is still putting on a happy face but even the tourism industry crucial to the country is hurting cruise liner operations have been canceled and any american doing business in cuba faces
2:25 pm
possible charges back home. oh my wish trump nothing but the worst is president doesn't have feelings none now. but while the sanctions right now cuban say it's because of venezuela ever since the days of hugo chavez and fidel castro these socialist nations have been economically and politically close then as well it gets doctors and support from cuba's intelligence agencies and cuba gets crude oil but venezuela is in a deep crisis and can't supply much more oil many think the u.s. believes if cuba's economy collapses it won't be able to support venezuela. every conflict with the u.s. is difficult because of its leading position as the world's most important market and no one would risk an argument with the us because of cuba political what we felt. sorry to say has arrived at her allocated pharmacy to pick up her medication
2:26 pm
she can only get it here initially things were looking good but then a problem arises. out of it and i got my medication but they didn't give me what my brother needs maybe it will arrive next week or i'll call the pharmacy central head office and ask if i can get it in another part of the city. the us is power play is making life here much harder it's his brother has to eat a lot of garlic supposedly this will keep his blood pressure down but at least today there's fish to go with it. now there are stunning new corruption allegations over the awarding of the 2016 olympics to rio de janiero a former state government over iraq has admitted that he paid $2000000.00 to buy votes that ensured that the city would host the games said told a brazilian course on thursday that the money was used to pay for up to 9 votes in favor of rio coverall is currently serving
