chapter in one of sports greatest rivalries as roger federer and rafael nadal meet again. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for joining us sudan's ruling military council says it has failed a coup by members of the army and the intelligence services now this comes just days after the council made a power sharing agreement with pro-democracy activists senior general omar abraham says rebel soldiers were being rounded up and that the coup was an attempt to quote hinder the transition to democracy sudan is seen mass protests and bloody crackdowns by the military that since the toppling of former dictator omar al bashir earlier this year. we have with the. now

abraham who's been reporting from sudan for d w is following the story for us good morning can you tell us more about what's behind the school attempt what we know is that there are 16 alleged retired and some still active military officers that were involved in this court and that was thwarted by the transitional military council 2 things to remember about this this is not the 1st time that in a very short period that the transitional military council has said that there has been a coup attempt in mid june they said that there was another one that they thwarted but they had so far not released the names and not said who exactly is behind it and what their particular motives are the 2nd thing to remember is that this is quite unsurprising the sudanese military is not a homogenous force as one might think of. an armed forces there are parts of it there are previously militias militias that have been integrated and become a para military force and in the past period there has been growing dissatisfaction

with some of these forces so it's not surprising to imagine that some officers are unhappy with the power struggle within the transitional ok now the coup attempt they might also be unhappy with the power sharing agreement that was just reached and this failed to apparently it's been rounded up to the leaders of at least might be related to that somehow doing anything about the agreement the agreement the official draft has yet to be released. but we do know that it is a it's a roadmap a power sharing agreement for a transitional period that would last a little bit over 30 years that the country would be run by a sovereign council during that period and that the leadership of this council would be rotating the 1st 21 months by military and then later on by civilians it's unclear if this will end the unrest that sudan has seen since december of 2018 there is some doubt the satisfaction with this agreement ok and what could be clouding all this is reports we're getting there coming out of. some mass killings

in the sudan allegedly by members of the military can you fill us in on anything about that so on june 3rd of this year the military forces cracked down on a huge protest camp right outside of the military headquarters in the capital hard to i was there in may this was a very lively area with a congress congregation of revolutionaries there coming from across the country on june 4th right after the crackdown the military shut down the internet and just 2 days ago the internet came back so we're seeing now this trove of footage from that day and the carnage is really beyond what many of the protesters had imagined so this is what the protesters are seeing now does have potential to cloud this agreement the country has yet to sign ok thanks so much for bringing us up to the this. is to lebanon now where a number of the refugee camps for some of the 2000000 syrian refugees in the country have been declared illegal with some refugees now being forced to demolish

their own homes lebanon has taken in more syrians than any other country relative to its population now many of those refugees are on the move again. it's back breaking work in scorching heat. and his neighbors demolished the roofs under which they've lived for 6 years the refugees from syria have to tear down their huts using only their hands and a few simple tools. the trash and i'm very angry with i've lived here since 2013 and within a span of 2 weeks they've decided that everything has to be demolished it's very hard for us i have diabetes and i asked my sizzix all 113 huts in this refugee camp near us all are set to be destroyed a decision made by the lebanese government to stone buildings are deemed illegal and must now be removed as quickly as possible. but every morning soldiers come by and tell us to hurry up that many of the refugees have illnesses or suffer from

depression some 100 also their legs we have nothing here in the city. were fled bombings in the syrian city of homs with his wife and 3 children here the 60 year old grandfather and his family found refuge a room a kitchen a toilet and a roof over their heads the family was grateful but is now all the more shocked following the demolition order. getting my whole being in the lead we are just crushed by the news that they want us out we were safe here but what should we do now is just as hard as when we had to leave syria last and many that i can ever get my own. cell has been hit hard by the influx of refugees the quiet border town took in 120000 syrians 3 times its own population the rundown electricity and water supply is close to collapse the local schools only have space for 3000 pupils but

there are 12000 children many locals worry about their jobs but that. the syrians i've been in many businesses that competed with aus and i lost my job as a result of the. muslim majority of our beach disposal schools and clinics already and didn't function properly before the war as these problems have grown with the arrival of the refugees when i can said the mission. still allah who chese says he understands these concerns and is willing to implement the expensive eviction order but he calls it manipulative and aimed at forcing the refugees back to their homes. yet. this increases the pressure on the city council the refugees the ide organizations but it doesn't fix any of the problems at all. so far none of the refugees have left they fear persecution in syria but life in

this camp will only get harder for them now. khalid and his family have been told to move into a tent made of top hole and plastic electricity and running water have not been connected yet it off as little shelter from the summer heat and the bitterly cold winter. preview now and some of the other stories making the news today car bombs killed members of the libyan national army as its leaders gathered in their eastern stronghold of benghazi 4 people are dead 33 others are wounded. the explosions there came at the funeral for a high ranking military general. the group is conducting a 3 month old offensive on tripoli which is the u.n. backed government's capital. nigerian police have fired tear gas to disperse anti-government demonstrations by shia muslims in the capital of buddha and the

all eyes are on architect david chipperfield and the new jane seeman gallery the gallery serves as a new entrance point to one of the world's most important repositories of cultural treasures the linz museum highland chipperfield spent 20 years on the project including giving the galleries neighbor the noise museum or new museum a new lease of life ready the main function of the building is to be an orientation for the cities. that come to the me but this collection of buildings known as the museum island. on the city point of view this is a new sort of the open corner and this was a very in a way incomplete. corner. and therefore. that this building in the way that we designed it i think is an offer a generous offer. as a piece of city as much as being in or a place to buy tickets and go to the bathroom tickets for all the museums on the

island can be purchased here. not in the more than 10000 square meters spice also boasts a $300.00 seat order to oriental. and a museum shop not fished entirely in french walnuts. from the central hub visitors can walk underground directly to the main exhibition hall of the pergamon museum and to the lower level of the noise museum. and we will be able to write into the noise museum. in the future you also be able to go left into the park so. this will become part of a route. which allows you. to come. into this level go through the program and come back out even on the other level surf there is a sort of. interchange. connection. this overage. no foundation pile is a reminder as to why construction costs almost doubled to 134000000 euros we were.

there for many. months nearly years in merced and mortar. to build the foundations and water work was worse compared to. the 1st show in the galleries temporary exhibition space will commemorate the building's namesake jewish beilin patron and art collector james seaman. the new gateway to berlin's cultural acropolis is a core component of a master plan for the island devised by david chipperfield and approved by the city in 1909. the main purpose of the gallery is servicing and connecting the beyond this it also gives the island a central focus of the james seaman gallery a dazzling new attraction on the unesco world heritage site museum. let's talk about this new treasurer did of your culture editor reiner travel the

morning writer the original design for this building was put down on a napkin i understand yeah that's what we're being told and it's a story but it's true in a way because i think all masterpieces of architecture can be reduced to a very simple idea of structure and here in this case it's just 3 elements it's the colonnades it's the flight of steps the broad staircase leading up to the entrance and it's the plinth wonderful word we see soccer in germany the plinth the pedestal where it's build upon and all 3 elements the. cullen aids the stairs and the play in 3 different features have been taken from museum island because you see the big plinth on museum island all the museums you have the colonnades around the around the island built by studio in the 19th century and of course you have the flight of steps at the ultimately on which is very imposing so so he took 3 elements put them

together in a new way and that's the building and that's what he sketched on his napkin and it's very easy i mean sketch the eiffel tower it's going like that it's a very simple structure or take the pyramids it's just like a very simple structure and the pyramid i have to say was one of the ideas for the museum island because in the eighty's. pay the famous artist sarah still reading her roommate as a central entrance for the louvre complex and then berlin thought we have to have this is well and that's what they realize they didn't reach so far back the planners and shipping fuel into integrity they used were greek elements classical elements absolutely that's the classical prussian athens of the north idea i mean in the 19th century russian kings wanted to be early and to be the pressure of the athens of the acropolis on spray and of course he realised that as well so he went back to the eighty's with the idea of a central entrance it was not to be

a field that was the planning commission in berlin and he took the elements from the 19th century of classical prussian architecture let's talk about the wood chipper field he's no stranger to know he's kind of the favorite the darling of of berliners in terms of architecture not so many beautiful buildings have been built since the wall fell but he did he built the most beautiful and the most long lasting i've desk say they're here to stay they will be here when we talk in 30 years we'll talk about sylvia that i'm not about many other architects that have been around in berlin and. he he was also already engaged in the museum the rebuilding of the building next to the structure we're talking about now and also he built a lot of museums around europe germany britain he's even he can be very down to earth he's even redesigned a mock american classical because he's intrade very simple design with this kind of

design what kind of experiencing experience is he trying to make visitors yeah that's what he was explaining also in the film we just saw he once the people to ascend to the temple to go inside and to enjoy the view on berlin historical berlin and then to go down to that he calls it a subway station big like sure is subway station where they can go to the different museums in the future at the moment for the time being they can go to one of 2 museums on museum island that's a project for the future still a lot to be done is an exciting idea reiners ever so great to have you and thanks for thank you. our market will story of survival now their parents sent them abroad during the nazi era fearing the worst they remained in germany they were sent to britain on trains called kinda tons porter children's transport now a group of those children and their relatives have made the journey back to berlin

4 of them were among the 10000 jewish children sent to britain in the run up to world war 2 most of them never saw their parents again often they were the only members of their families to survive the holocaust the obvious keep brady met 94 year old marx who was visiting berlin from britain here's his story. the people who who did live there live and be older than. go to school. and smoke was coming out of the school. and there was a commotion the teacher was outside the school and he said you go home today is a school 13 year old boy who doesn't have to go to school has a day off i didn't mind. i got home as quickly as took me 25 minutes i suppose of a bicycle to get home and they hadn't told me this the night before

a friend had phoned this is don't stay at home tonight it's going to be trouble tonight they knew what was going to happen it was all planned it wasn't spontaneous it was pretty all arranged. and fortunately my father had not been in a time so he wasn't i didn't pick him up or call him so that was beginning of the realisation that it's impossible but it's clear by the screen then made a decision he was to move the school to england that was they had they had most of the director of school so he started this and i'm still when i think about it that in 2 months he organized the 1st group to go to england and he managed it in 8 weeks it's quite incredible i mean work we've all together there were 20 boys we all do it so that we weren't in the same class of school so it wasn't. there was no

fear. for some it was traumatic some of the it was one of the younger ones because of being way from home was difficult they were going to be parents. that was the beginning of our trip to england and i was expecting soon or later to go to america with my parents. in. time went on and in the last communication heard from them was in 1942 my father wrote on the 19th to tell me that they were leaving. and only in all we knew they were going to the east no did. we no no it was that they went to extermination camp. but this i didn't find out that 30 years ago. and you live with it nothing you can

do both. but at the same turn you see what's happening you think what's happening here what's happening in the whole of europe and all these various countries where the right wing is coming up again i remember that i do remember when my parents in those with the adults used to talk about hitler would. last for 5 minutes you know but it lasted and he created. you know we'll see what happens with the end result was and it did happen and i'm afraid it's could happen i don't hope not. to have escaped brady joins me now in the studio good morning you spoke not only to a current marksman number of other children from the kinda tough spot what struck you the most speaking over but it's always very moving to still have a chance to change to survive is that both people that were children in the kenya

transport and also holocaust survivors but it's very moving how they tell their stories as well like it was yesterday and also with us and nonchalance some time. it's very clear that this is something that they have had to deal with for the entirety of the lives and of course every experience was very unique but also also very tragic and for a long time for many of the children that were involved in the kindertransport it nice it took the many many decades for some of them like marks here to find out exactly what happened to their families and to their relatives and where exactly they were sent to jarring the 2nd world war there are about a 1000 of the original 10000 children who are still alive today. germany remembering going to transport will for a long time. the kindertransport was so prevalent in germany's memorials of the holocaust. there was much more prevalent in u.k. history and u.k.

memory but as you saw there is a group of survivors from the kindertransport here will visit in berlin this week that's mark in the 80th anniversary of many of those trains leaving of course many of these trains were organized in those last few months before the 2nd world war broke out on the 1st of september in 1939 and germany decided actually early start late last year to give a one off payment of $2.00 and a half 1000 euros to each of those surviving kinda transporting children which of course is being welcome but understandably no amount of money is ever going to be compensation enough for the relatives that they lost and the tragedy that they had to experience how were they received with the arrived britain what type of research did the can the transfer children get in britain well of course this was a at all that there were organizations in the u.k.

that were ready to receive them they were sent to homes both with jewish and non jewish families and a lot of the children did go to a very warm welcoming family. yes but that wasn't always the case many of the children while they experience hostility at school they weren't seen necessarily as jewish refugees at the time was the german enemy which was an amiss understanding among the younger generation at schools and of course this then had a lasting effect on the experience that they had then in the u.k. and for a long time even you herr accounts of some children that were sent to the u.k. that for a long time didn't know that they were jewish they were sent to the u.k. at such a young age and again this is a many of them have to retrace their footsteps and retrace the family history to find out exactly where they came from and what happened to their families here in germany under the nazi occupation kate thanks very much for looking into this
