a victory for that movement. celebrations in the capital hard to match 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 being the images that it shows clearly that the army and the armed forces are our partners and not our enemy. when sure with the cooperation and understanding we will meet the demands of the sudanese people the status of that those demands are for 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 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. at 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 agree to launch a national independent investigation into the deaths of the sudanese who were killed in the fight for democracy. indeed to use i.e.

bergen joins me in the studio now for some analysis on a you have reported extensively from saddam 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 uncertainty between the protesters in the military and negotiations that have been going on and on and off since the removal of ahmed bashir on april 11th the 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 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 official channels of communications of 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 amity the commander or brown who was 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 these atrocities can investigate themselves how fair would that be and as as we've

been saying it 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 to eat for him thanks so much all right it's a look at some of the other stories making news around the world turkish authorities say 3 people have been killed in a car bomb in the south of the country turkish president richard type and one said the victims were syrians inside the vehicle the blast occurred near the town of right on the syrian border. at least 190 bodies have been recovered from a mass grave in syria in the city where the so-called islamic state militants once had their key stronghold the graves in iraq contained the bodies of men thought to have been killed execution style by the militants as well as women stoned to death all iran has condemned the seizure of one of its oil tankers off the british

territory of gibraltar bordering southern spain british royal marines boarded the best on thursday it's believed the oil on board was on its way to syria in violation of european union sanctions. and the german car maker b.m.w. says it si kluger will step down when his contract ends next april the guy has steered b.m.w. for the past 4 years the company has slashed profit expectations and critics blame clear for b.m.w. slow shift towards electric vehicles. now to a surprising poll result here in germany a majority of germans do not want the country's defense minister underlined to be president of the european commission a survey by german pollster in for a testy map shows just one 3rd of germans think she is the right person for the job overhaul say she would not make a good commission chief. and joined now by our political correspondent on the

sparrow thomas why this skepticism about wilson a funded lion was in the fonda lion is germany's minister of defense on a such she is in charge of a extremely difficult and controversial ministry this is a ministry that is but has been criticized time and time again because of the state of the forces here in germany the criticisms relate to the readiness to the capability of the armed forces on a such as a reform the line has also been criticised although it's important to stress to some of the problems she inherited this is a role that in many cases has been described as korea so depending on what your position is on was it on the line you may think that she has done a good job given the circumstances or she hasn't done enough to change things in the bundesliga so that said that's one issue why germans may be skeptical about her she's also facing an investigation into spending irregularities and i think many

germans are also not happy about her nomination because of the way that she was nominated in the end not having been on the ballot during the european elections if she does get the top job with that allow her to skate full of controversy at home or would it follow her to brussels do you think. i would say a bit of both in a way she will be able to escape because her roles in brussels will change she will have other priorities to deal with at the same time when you look back on her career you always have to consider what she did and watch you didn't do as head of the defense ministry just as you would also look as well to watch she achieved or didn't achieve when she led previous ministries such as the labor ministry or the family ministry let's not forget that it was rough on the lion has been the only minister since 2005 in other words since i'm going to started chancery that has been throughout that period with i'm going to merkel so she's a politician that has enough experience at the german level and she will try to take that experience but she would also take all the controversies with her to

brussels if elected by the european parliament like a now we have also been looking at german voters think should be responsible for selecting the e.u. commission boss and during the european elections in may funded lion was not a candidate for the job now there is a sense amongst many germans that government leaders made a backroom deal instead of choosing one of the candidates nominated by their parliamentary group for the commission president's job and the pollsters are asked who should choose the president of the european commission should it be the heads of government all the european parliament 21 percent feel that government should have the final say but an overwhelmed well meaning majority of 71 percent say the european parliament should decide who will lead the commission. so tell us what do you make of these the think is the german seem to be opposed to deals like the one that we we saw this week and this description of

a backroom deal is one of the key reasons as well where people are skeptical about that off on the line or in particular about the nomination future head of the european commission this this idea here in germany that those backroom deals affect european legitimacy that they affect. european democracy and by the way there is something that has been backed by important political parties here in germany like the social democrats they have rejected outright on the lines nomination with those arguments that i have just mentioned there's also and it's also important to stress another side of the story those who believe that the heads of government heads of state do have the rights and do have the responsibility to present those nominations after all they are themselves elected leaders and they also have responsibility such an although the european elections are european they do also have a very important national component so it's important to see what both sides of the story reveal in this particular case but this is certainly one of the reasons why

people are not very convinced about was enough on the lines i mean nation. thomas perry thanks so much. molt has agreed to take in dozens of migrants rescued by a humanitarian charity vessel in the mediterranean the boat is carrying 55 migrants who were rescued off the libyan coast in return is silly will take 55 other migrants currently sheltering in the move to fuse is a brewing standoff between the charity mediterranea and its leaves populist interior minister who refused to allow the boat to dock in a city. voters in greece go to the polls on sunday in a snap general election prime minister alexis suppressed is battling to keep his job after implementing austerity measures recommended by european debt says many greeks all still suffering the effects of tax increases and budget cuts he. has

this report are. going out these people are in no mood to celebrate all of the greek elections are just around the corner and the leftist syriza party is striving for every vote polls suggest their time could be up with sores their supporters here in athens still believe that the ruling party's values they buy from it are you that is the serious stands for more democracy equality and solidarity in. order. to produce a series of represents renewal and change in the culture of the creation of better economic conditions. because we're going to get men 9 for me it's safety calmness and assurance in my life with mistakes and other things but at safety. making almost in this fight the people here behind me still believe in the lefties sure it's a party but the party has been losing support and many here in greece have decided to join another political camp. i think and he is one of them pensioner in former

math teacher young he's the most. in 2015 when greece was in the middle of a financial crisis he believed series i would be able to create a better future for him and his family. now 4 years later he says he has had enough . of this and miss the more sun i expected something different compared with previous governments. because it was the ethics and the way they express themselves that had irritated me the floor of a 4th but series as politics proved to be the same style or even worse when. they hit all of them. the most says series as making middle class people like him bearing the burden of greece's economic crisis pension cuts and high taxes have made everyday life less affordable. for you tomorrow another group is using

this to its advantage the conservative new democracy party with its leader kitty across him to talk yes. he's currently the front runner in the polls. but they're rivals and prime minister alexis c. plus so as a party claim new democracy is hardly the champion of the middle class the huge deficit. that destroyed when the glass is made able to think everything is made by there is the support of the that now. but he senses itself as the savior of the 2 parties arguments are familiar by now but jenny's the most has decided to vote for a new democracy this time the retired teacher has this simple reason. want to be part of the in mathematics there's the idea of the method of elimination proving something by eliminating the other options. unfortunately the greeks

will now vote based on that logic. to secure the quote don't mathematical and see if enough greeks follow this approach in sunday's election there's a realistic chance that it's swing voters like most who will ultimately decide this spell its winner. in hong kong a demonstration is underway to show support of the pro-democracy activists who stormed parliament on monday thousands of mothers led today's gathering in a show of solidarity with the protesters who are now wanted by the police it comes after the student group project says an offer to meet with the territory's chief executive kerry lam the protests was sparked by a bill forward by law that would allow extradition of hong kong residents to mainland china and we'll have more on this story indeed only news asia which is coming out right after this program. venezuela is accusing the united
