11:06 pm
protesting who are prepared for a fight many of them carrying on brown and weapons on google carrying the sooner we get well thought out the part the more constant tonight we're coming to our going to the front of a remarkable are you still people rather the 3 little girls who were fact. carpet will help her him warm are answering the. questions continued into the night as beijing looks on there seems to be no end in sight for the standoff between protesters and police and hong kong. incidentally the ruling military council has reached an agreement with the pro-democracy coalition to form a transitional government the deal aims to pave the way for democratic elections the breakthrough follows weeks of negotiations by the african. leader but the celebrations on the streets of khartoum it's almost 4 months since longtime leader omar al bashir was ousted during that time many sudanese feared another

11:08 pm
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 that's 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 and also reports that in sudan not very long ok as so last month the. 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 summarize what they agreed on in the power sharing agreement this was basically the
11:09 pm
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
11:10 pm
accusations of brutality towards protesters 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 pictures of sudanese people see. what are they sort of waiting i mean i was there in april right after i'm going to show your show and people were very committed to you know in the name of the near civilians really knows the clarion call of the protests 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 phrase won't be easy this this will be the true test of the games 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
11:11 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 now to some of the other stories making news around the world thousands of supporters of northern ireland the news they have taken to the streets of belfast the prime minister of ireland joined the upright state of gracious the event comes just 2 weeks after the british parliament voted to extend same sex marriage and abortion rights to more than i get. at least 11 people have drowned and more than 30 have been based off the 3 ferry boats capsized in the central philippines the entire island ferries either to sank in rough seas wind and rain forecast as have warned of more heavy monsoon rains and and storms. police in russia's
