a bittersweet return to their homes but the city they were the lucky ones sent to britain on so-called in the towns close. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for joining us so dan's ruling military council says it has foiled a coup by members of the army and intelligence services this comes just days after the council made a power sharing agreement with photo mockers the 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 sadat has seen mass protests and bloody crackdowns on them by the military since the toppling of former dictator omar al bashir earlier this year. we're joined now by abraham

who's been reporting from sudan for us and is following this story good morning can you fill us in on what's behind this disc to attempt so what we know is that what the military council has told us which is that 16 officers some retired some still active are allegedly involved in this in this coup attempt the military says they want to hinder the progress that the country has made 2 things to keep in mind about this attempt it's not the 1st time that the military council in a very short period has said that there has been such an attempt there was one allegedly back in june however it they never revealed the names and never said who was behind it so you sort of have to take their word for it and because there hasn't been a lot of transparency the 2nd thing to remember is that it's not surprising the military is not homogenous as one might imagine it's made up of a mixture of more traditional forces and paramilitary forces that were that have their roots in militias so there are there are reports that there is some dissatisfaction with the power balance between paramilitary militia forces and the

more traditional forces within the transitional military council ok this this failed to midst all these different factions that you mentioned came just after a power sharing deal with civilians was reached the 2 connected. that's what the military council says they say that you know there are some attempts to hinder this progress. but we know very little about this transitional this right i mean the official draft is yet to be released and it remains to be seen if this particular deal also brings an end to the unrest that sudan has says has seen since basically the outbreak of demonstrations back in this number of 2018 ok those those demonstrations you fit into this whole story quite a bit and there have been reports of of mass killings by the sudanese military we're waiting for more details to come in can you tell us anything about them right so on june 3rd of this year there was

a huge. sort of military sorry pardon protestors sitting outside of the military headquarters in the capital khartoum this where this is where protesters had been congregating for months and months trying to put pressure on the military to hand over power to civilians this crackdown was bloody alleged 100 people were killed within hours there are even reports of rape men and women as they try to to flee the site on june 4th right after this attack the internet went out for a month and was just restore 2 days ago so it's only 2 days ago that we're able to see mass footage of that day and some say that you know this carnage and this violence that we saw in these videos might have an effect on this agreement. covering sudan for us thanks very much it's to level now where some of the refugee camps for the 2000000 syrian refugees in that country have been declared illegal

with some syrians being forced to demolish their own homes lebanon has taken in more syrian refugees than any other country relative to its population now many of them are on the move once again. it's back breaking work in scorching heat. and his neighbors demolished the rubes 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 see 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. mourning the soldiers come by and

tell us to hurry up that many of the refugees have illnesses or suffer from depression some have lost their legs we have nothing here in the city. 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. yet my whole being in the light 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 that was the enemy that i can never 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 competed without and i lost my job as a result. i was a majority of our beach disposal schools and clinics already and didn't function properly before the war these problems have grown with the arrival of the refugees . when i can said the mission. he 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 toppled and plastic electricity and running water have not been connected yet it offers little shelter from the summer heat and the bitterly cold winter. let's preview on some of the other stories now making the news spahn laden vehicles have exploded near a group of libyan national army leaders and their eastern stronghold of benghazi killing 4 people and wounding 33 explosions at a funeral for a high ranking general cast doubt on that group's 3 month old offensive on tripoli which is the u.n. backed government's capital. u.s. president donald trump has dropped plans to add a question on citizenship to the 2020 u.s. census he said he would instead direct federal agencies to compile information

along so this ins using existing database change of course follows a political battle over and clued in the question on the census. on the hawaiian island of maui raging brush fires have led to thousands of residents being ordered to evacuate firefighters are battling to keep those fires away from residential areas the blazes so 4 scorched 3000 acres on the. well for many visitors to berlin their trip simply isn't complete without a stop at museum island on the river spray in the very heart of the german capital museum island is home to 5 prestigious world class institutions the program on the altars museum the noise museum the national gallery and the bota museum now combined they treat museum goers to masterpieces of history art and architecture

museum island was founded in $823.00 is quote a sanctuary of art and science and grew to its present day science by 1930 had survived wars political on here and has been made into a u.s. u.n. rather in esco world heritage site now 3 and a half 1000000 people visit museum island each and every year and now there's a new entrance gallery befitting as for stage after 2 decades of planning and building the james gallery is ready to open stores. on lines around architect david chipperfield and the new change scene and 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 neighborhood the newest museum a new museum

a new lease of life the main function of the building is to be an orientation for visitors. that come to the need for this collection of buildings known as the museum of art and. from the city point of view this is a new sort of urban corner this was a very in a way incomplete. corner. and therefore. this building in the way that we've designed it i think is an offer a generous offer. as a piece of city. as much as being in a place to buy tickets and go to the bathroom or tickets for all the museums on the island can be purchased here. for. the more than 10000 square meters space also boasts a $300.00 seat oratorial. and a museum shop outreach to 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 go right into the noise museum. in the future you will also be able to go left into the park so. this will become part of a route. which allows you. to come out 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 original foundation pile is a reminder as to why construction costs almost doubled to 134000000 euros we were. there for many months nearly 2 years and merced in mortar sorry to build the foundations and water where there's rests compared to. the 1st show in the

galleries temporary exhibition space will commemorate the building's namesake jewish beilin patron an art collector james seen on. 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 the james seaman gallery a dazzling new attraction on the unesco world her. museum. let's talk about this new treasure would interview culture editor reiner traveler good morning writer and 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 the elements it's

the colonnade it's the flight of steps the broad staircase leading up to the entrance and it's the. wonderful word we see in germany the plinth the pedestal where it's build upon and all 3 elements the. colonnades 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 again 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 harrison

already harry's room it as a central entrance for the louvre complex and then berlin thought we have to have this is well and that's what we realized as they didn't reach so far back the planners and shipping fuel into the they used were greek elements of 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 the athens of the north acropolis on spray and of course he realized 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 but was the planning commission in berlin and he took the elements from the 19th century of classical prussian architecture let's talk about deal with your field he's no stranger to berlin no 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 desks a they're here to stay they will be here when we talk in 30 years we'll talk about sylvia and 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 a classical piece 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 here 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. or market will story of survival now their parents sent them abroad during the nazi are fearing the worst if they remained in germany they were sent to britain on trains called kinda tough sport now a group of those children and the relatives of made the germany 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 w.'s kate brady 94 year old kurt marx who's been visiting berlin from britain here's

a story. well whom should i hate the people who who did it another live anymore they're older than i am and. will be here so much longer. i 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 is a stone stay at home tonight there'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

a time so he wasn't i didn't pick him up or call him so that was. the beginning of the realisation that it's impossible that's clear by the screen then made a decision it was to move the school to english 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 age weeks it's quite incredible i mean we've all together there were 20 boys we all do it so that we weren't in the same cause of school so it wasn't. there was no fear. for some it was traumatic some of the it were not for younger ones because it was being way from home it was difficult they were not with their parents. and it was the beginning of our trip to england and i was expecting.

soon all they took to go to america with my parents. in. time went on i was in the last communication had from them was in 1942 my father wrote on the 19th to tell me that they were leaving. and only all we knew they were going to the east you know did. we know know that there were extermination camps. but this i didn't find out years ago. and you live with it nothing you can do both. but at the same time to see what's happening you think what's happening here was 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 it. can't last for 5 minutes. but it lasted and he created. you know what's what happened with the end result was if it did happen and i'm afraid it could happen i don't hope not. devious kate brady joins me now in the studio good morning kate you spoke not only to occur the number of other children from the kinda tough spot what struck you the most speaking over was it's always very moving to still have a chance of a charity to speak to our survivors that both people that were children in the can to 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 sometimes and it's very clear that this is something that they have had to deal with for the entirety of their 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 of nace it took 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 joining the 2nd world war there are about a 1000 of the original 10000 children who are still alive today how was germany remembering going to transport well for a long time. the kindertransport was so prevalent in germany's memorials of the holocaust. they was much more prevalent in u.k. history and u.k. memory but as we saw the group of survivors from the kinda transport 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 earlier sorry late last year to give a one off payment of $2.00 and a half 1000 euros to each of those surviving kinda trans 40 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 when the arrived britain what type of research did the can the transfer children get in britain well of course this was a 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 very warm welcoming families but that wasn't always the case many of the children while they experience hostility at school they were.

seen necessarily as jewish refugees at the time wars the german enemy which was an a misunderstanding 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 their 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 force . it's to wimbledon now and the new chapter in one of sport's biggest rivalries will play out later today when roger federer and rafael nadal meet in the semifinals it's the 1st meeting of the 2 most successful male players of the sport's history at wimbledon since 2008 and with both players and also the thirty's

it could be one of their last encounters at a ground slam about. rafa nadal is match up with his prey drive will be the 4th time he has met the stressed master at wimbledon. roger federer on lost last month to nadal on policing clay the grass is of course a different matter federer has won wimbledon 8 times he also holds a strike to one edge over nadal unclassified says the mutual respect is built on more than a decade of direct competition federer has 2 more grand slam titles than the spaniard but not dollar has a significantly better head to head record the left hander with a 9 match eat when using the last 10 meetings as a guide the scale is even. give me the sports greatest ever

rivalry 40 off roger versus rafael off as a pace in the wimbledon final and. the fact that federer is now 37 years old which means this clash is one to rally. all did their businesses up next with ben and it looks like the trade war is increasingly taking to the skies but yeah definitely the trouble between the u.s. and china has china looking to us for its next plane orders rather the boeing this is putting us actually on a course to overtake boeing this year it already has one deliveries in the 1st half that's a 1st isn't it which is a 1st in about 8 years ok so it's been a long time. has been lagging boeing in this case it comes with chinese help ok now i understand thomas cook is also factoring into this battle in the skies the ailing british travel group is looking to a chinese invested to rescue what the funds would help it through to the end of

2020 ok so thomas cook is looking for money from china and we're looking at a boeing and airbus has a lot going on the business as ben will be so you in on that coming up in just a bit don't forget there's plenty more as well as our website brian thomas for me thanks for being.
