the protests that erupted in hong kong in june show no sign of abating in august there are no in the 9th weekend and violence seems to be escalating. we have to keep or there's no way we are going to back down that we have to be on the street in order to achieve more pressure they become and so they will come by they will make concessions the protests are followed a familiar pattern peaceful by day violent by night demonstrators feel they know who is responsible. i think as long as the police are calm and peaceful i believe consider us and we are very calm too i think most of the violence come from the police at the beginning. those hopes of calm were soon smothered in a blanket of tear gas fired by police after protesters vandalized a police station but that didn't deter what are no battle hardened demonstrators.

9:04 pm
many sudanese feared another strongman would simply take his place but last night came the announcement that the military and civilians had reached a firm deal to lead together. the. move that. the 2 delegations have fully agreed on the constitutional document the the agreement is expected to be signed in days it will start a 3 year period of transitional rule leading to elections during that time power will rotate between a military and civilian leader with a cabinet of technocrats to manage the country details remain to be finalized but sudanese are hopeful action is shit i love it we have very happy and we couldn't stand her and everyone is in the streets to express their happiness with the agreement we hope it will be a civil state for ever and that people didn't die for nothing to dish out
9:05 pm
a lot for the mistake not going to. we hope that everyone will work together to get the country out of hardship. and we hope that those who caused deaths will be immediately held accountable one of the most from it the celebrations some hold the last images of those who lost their lives in the struggle more than 100 people are believed to have died in crackdowns against protesters according to doctors several soldiers have now been detained over the recent deaths of 6 demonstrators giving sudanese hope for justice and peace. and our reporter avraham has been following the latest developments a also reported incident not very delicate a.s. so last month the parties signed a power sharing agreements they've now signed or reached an agreement on the constitutional declaration what is in it so it's important to. perhaps go back and
9:06 pm
summarize what they agreed to and the power sharing agreement this was basically the nuts and bolts of the transitional period there they established that it would be 3 years that there would be a sovereign council made up of civilians and military and that its leadership would rotate and also they decided who would get to rule the sovereign council 1st which would be the military then followed by the civilians the constitutional declaration is meant to flesh out these details we don't know all of the details in the agreement yet but we have some we now know that it will be the opposition the forces of freedom and change that will appoint the prime minister and that prime minister will then appoint the cabinet however the ministries of defense and the ministries of the interior will be appointed by the military so a huge compromise there is well there will also be a legislative council made up of $300.00 members this will act as the defacto parliament of sudan and the f.f.c. will get to a point 67 percent of the members of this legislative council there are some unclear points the very contentious point of immunity for military leaders and
9:07 pm
accusations of brutality towards protesters that hasn't yet been addressed but that was a very contentious point ok. when omar al bashir was removed from office price has continued with people demanding a 100 percent civilian death and they didn't get that but we see fictions of sudanese people celebrating what are they sort of waiting i mean i was there in april right after i'm going to be here fellow and people were very committed to you know in the middle name of the knee a civilian civilian is the clarion call of the protest but since then a lot of the country has seen a lot of violence and a lot of loss of life and there's just a sense that something needs to happen something needs to be signed for a new phase start there is a huge recognition from everyone that i've spoken to that this phase won't be easy this this will be the true test of the gains of the revolution if you will and it was i think it's become very clear for the civilians that the military is just not going to back down and perhaps trying to exclude them would only create more of a rift between. you know on the streets and then would lead to even more violence
9:08 pm
and even fears of something more serious like a civil war. but you know people really do recognize that you know in these 3 years that's where the work is really kind of ok. abraham thank you. it's now to some of the other stories making news around the world thousands of supporters of northern ireland. have taken to the streets of belfast the prime minister of ireland joined the pride separations the event comes just weeks often the british parliament voted to extend same sex marriage and abortion rights to northern ireland. emergency workers in north west england all racing to shore up a leaking dam which is in danger of collapse for costas all warning more bad weather is on the way the dam was damaged last week off to heavy rain sent torrents of water over it all more than a 1000 people have had to leave their homes. at least 11 people have drawn the more
