anti-government protests in hong kong are largely peaceful but concerns are mounting about unauthorized rallies planned for sunday. and easy rider legend peter fonda dies aged $79.00 and born into hollywood royalty after him producer will be remembered as an icon of the counterculture. welcome to news i'm carl last month sudan is celebrating a historic agreement after months of protests the country's ruling military military council and civilian opposition alliance have signed a constitutional declaration paving the way for a transition to civilian rule and free elections as new chapter in a nation that has weathered demonstrations and a bloody bill and terry crackdown after the ousting of longtime president omar al bashir. they came to khartoum from all over the country to celebrate

a historic day the military council is history and a new era begins. to come to today we can finally breathe free again everything was so expensive we were desperate. in a festive venue amid foreign dignitaries representatives of the opposition and the military signed the agreement after months of tough negotiations on a sovereign council with even representation from the opposition and the military will govern the country overseeing the formation of the government that elections are set to be held in just over 3 years. paramilitary groups will be integrated into the regular army earlier this summer a militia mounted a brutal raid on a protest camp leaving many that left a scar but hopes are high that the country can turn the page. back we hope that things will start to look up and done we want to be proud of our country again. and

agree on a real pain. for millions here today is liberation day though they realize the road to democracy is anything but easy. let's get more now on that historic agreement joining me now in studio is thomas he is with the africa and he's been reporting on those developments in sudan 1st of all i mean is this the deal that civilians wanted let's say it's the deal that some civilians wanted it's affected group of opposition parties that have come together just the group that signed the agreement today the lines of freedom of and change themselves on bread old in isolation so lots of different groups political activists political parties and human rights activists to come together but some civilian activists have been saying that they will not agree to any military involvement whatsoever in this agreement and because of this they have even threaten all. ready to go to the

streets the biggest question really hovering over all the celebrations today is will this landmark deal hold up yeah i think that is the big question that everybody in sudan of course ask themselves but also in the region because it has big rif occasions for the whole region in itself but they the opposition groups are affected but also the military affected we've seen strobes more coups in the last few weeks and this paramilitary groups the militias and all these groups omar bashir the previous president played very cleverly up against each other but also want to see in the old days and overall there's been very little trust in the military so people who would be watching very carefully these in these reforms that the a promising and see whether there's any delays a change to soldiers well what about its former dictator omar al bashir i mean he's currently sitting in prison he's wanted for war crimes charges charges of genocide

by the international criminal court will he see a trial of fair trial well you probably see a trial the question is it is it fair i mean there's no history of free and fair justice system in sudan even his own supporters have questioned whether this is the right process he's also wanted in the i.c.c. the international criminal court for. genocide in darfur that's on unlikely that they going to hand him over but he will probably stand trial are probably going to see a couple of delays but whether it's going to be free and fair is a good question we heard there in the piece i mean the road to democracy in sudan is anything but easy just tell us about some of the roadblocks along the way i mean the big question or the big issue has always been the economy. the sudan has been on the sanctions there's been a stitch in measures one of the reasons why these protests they have been simmering for years in the. they came to the surface then they all collided in

a pool when the shia then was ousted but those problems haven't changed there's no oil because very little oil production because it went to south sudan when they split and then also the expectations there's very little opportunities you might be able to to get an education for young people but then there's no jobs off the words that's why we see some of them even coming to europe but overall people have very big hopes maybe 2 big hopes and the expectations of going to be very difficult to manage just a matter of months that we've seen this historic deal come to fruition thomas thanks very much. to italy now where the government has allowed 27 unaccompanied minors to disembark a migrant rescue vessel in limbo off the italian island of lampedusa interior minister matteo salvini reluctantly authorized them to leave the open arms ship 6

e.u. countries say they will take in the migrants. accompanied by the italian coast guard the migrants finally reach land medical stop a 1st to see the unaccompanied youths before they are allowed into the receiving center in lampedusa. but just a few 100 meters off shore more than 100 other migrants are in limbo as the italian government refuses to let their rescue ship dock. that's been on board the open arms since they were picked up near libya on august 1st. last call for their constant fights and arguments on board it's been 17 days of unbearable tension and living in overcrowded conditions even a detained person should not be treated this way because they will is holding us against our will even though a court has mandated the evacuation of these people so they can receive medical attention. the spanish rescue ship one a legal battle to enter italian waters despite a ban by far right interior minister matteo salvini he still refusing to let

vessels dock in italy despite offers from other e.u. countries to take in the migrants his hardline stance is popular with many people here. why should they come to laugh or do so why. the aid group has now filed a formal complaint with prosecutors in sicily accusing salvini of holding both the migrants and the crew hostage i tens of thousands of protesters in hong kong kept up their pressure on saturday with another weekend of pro-democracy demonstrations fears of an imminent crackdown by the chinese authorities have stoked tensions that saturday's protests were largely peaceful meanwhile thousands of probation supporters. at another rally where they called for an ends to be violence. charlotte chelsea hill is following the events for us in hong kong and she sent us this update for eggshells blunt's of the walls of this police station that left

over by a small gathering of protesters who converged here after a peaceful rally earlier on today now there was a moment where it looked like this gathering could descend in some of the violent scenes that we've seen in recent weeks we caught on camera several demonstrations curling bins at police vehicles down below now riot police acted swiftly they dispersed those protesters who left chanting that people should gather in a mass rally plans for tomorrow now organizers of that rally say they want it to remain peaceful and rational they came to avoid some of the violent scenes that we saw at hong kong airport earlier this week which would be jumped on by chinese state media with beijing calling some of the more violent protesters close to terrorist organizes eager to prove that it's far from the truth and that this pro-democracy movement still enjoys broad support on the streets of hong kong. demonstrations have been taking place in moscow of useful elections in the capital

city opposition supporters have been calling for their candidates to be registered and for independent monitoring of the vote among those taking part are musicians and our reporter met one of them who's been protesting the police file and mass arrests. must cause protests just getting a soundtrack the lyrics go 6 malkan the center of moscow anyone who inhales it ends up in jail that is how well known pop musician latest song describes the mood in the capital the ongoing protests in moscow inspired him to write the song several days ago that. we were all citizens it doesn't matter whether we are musicians or nog whether we sing songs at the rallies rallies are not for singing not for having fun not for looking at famous people rallies or society's attempt to interact with the authorities so through. a blow off as not the only musician who

has recently come out in support of the protests for free elections and against police violence last week some artist performed at the organized rally in central moscow. meanwhile the musicians of corky park are just out to entertain for several weeks now authorities have organized music festivals here to take place during opposition protests critics say the concerts are intended to draw people are away from the rallies. leading russian pop stars took to the stage this weekend many visitors support their decision to perform in the park is the best when it comes to argue whether just music painting books it should be detached from politics the 2 shouldn't make this meal should while people are enjoying free music and gorky park protesters came out again in the center of city many. i think the support of to musicians has given their protest more visibility. you're

seeing you. if musicians take the responsibility to express their opinion. about what's going on because they know that many people listen to them or to go with them that's an important gesture at the 6th when it was. the 1st group of people of us going. protesters have been rallying in moscow for over a month and they have called for demonstrations next weekend aswell with more and more musicians joining the fight for free local elections the opposition hopes their movement can pick up speed. all the world is in mourning peter fonda star of the sixty's cult classic biker movie easy rider has passed away the actor and producer died of lung cancer at the age of 79. we probably won't want to call it what was the craziest thing you've heard but there was
