ban after just 10 days in the job. until gal welcome to the program sudan's transitional government and rebel groups in the darfur region have agreed to hand over former president omar al bashir to the international criminal court or the i.c.c. the court based in the hague issued that warrants for al bashir more than 10 years ago he's charged with committing crimes against humanity and genocide related to operations against darfur rebels between 20032008 sudan's ministry ousted out basheer last year mass protests against his 30 year dictatorship he's a lawyer says the former president refuses to deal with the cold. we get more from the double reporter. welcome. explain the significance of this step. well this is

actually ends up happening is nothing short of historically heard today from a member of sudan's sovereign council which during its transitional period after the overthrowing a lot of bashir is in charge of the country saying that they are now ready to hand over many people that are wanted by the i.c.c. for crimes against humanity for now this includes he didn't name the former president by name but it is the 3 people are former president bashir and 2 other top officials in his in his former government this would be nothing short of historic this has been a long demand of the i.c.c. as well as the community in darfur but you know it's not as simple as just handing him over to the court overnight 1st of all sudan has yet to ratify the rome statute of the i.c.c. so it would need to do that 1st or you don't have actually a member of the courts of such no it has not it is not ratified in a not unsurprisingly under. he would not ratify such would that would bring him to

justice for crimes where both this but this would be such a vindication for the victims you know i was in there for 2 years ago and even decades after this fighting the level of devastation is not something that anyone can imagine these people are living without nothing and up until today there was no sign that they would get the justice from the man that they see is the cause of this and justice so if this happens and as you say the as a there's a road there's a long road yet but if these happens if there's this transitional government saying this that's a big deal it is it would be seen as a major win for the transitional government the so-called you know sudan is a country that has suffered from internal conflict for decades and this transitional government has made its utmost has to end these conflicts so if this does happen this will ease the door for rebels it will send a positive signal to the other rebel groups that the government is currently in the goshen with however this also you know this puts the transitional government in a kind of awkward position this is the power sharing. agreement between former
5:04 pm
between military leaders many of whom are former allies of armor of bashir while they're not themselves wanted by the i think many of them are complicit in these crimes so this is likely to also make them quite nervous i can think of at least 2 senior members of the sovereign counsels who are from the military that have a connection with these crimes that were committed in darfur ok. thank you. for cameroon the held elections for the 1st time in 70 years last weekend but the process has been overshadowed by ethnic unrest 3 years ago separatist an english speaking northern and southern regions unilaterally declared independence and the creation of a new state ambers odia the separatist pursuit of self-determination has taken a heavy toll on civilians who have become the targets of terrible violence the w correspondent the blaze said this report which you may find disturbing.

a 1000 lives. tens of thousands of kenyans have followed funeral ceremonies for former president morsi who died last week aged 95 the government declared a national holiday and more is to be buried on wednesday at his home in kenya's district. scores of people have been injured in clashes between security forces and protesters in the lebanese capital beirut violence broke out protesters tried to block lawmakers from breaching the parliament building opposition groups want to stop them from holding a confidence vote on the country's new capital. of palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas has reaffirmed his rejection of the peace plan offered by the united states declaring that it will not be accepted by the palestinian people speaking at the u.n. security council mr bass at the deal would strengthen what he calls the apartheid regime and reward israeli occupation rather than holding it accountable for crimes committed against palestinians the deal backfire the u.s.
5:11 pm
and israel would grant would grant israel several of its long held wishes d.w. correspondent as well. the occupied west bank transplant could lead to the defacto onix nation of parts of the territory which was captured by israel in 1967 an extension of territory was condemned after world war 2 by the united nations charter critics want trump's proposal could violate principles of international law if it's implemented so 1st obviously we should take this very seriously. this is not a peace plan this was a plan for perpetuating the oppression and dispossession of palestinians not giving them statehood nor rights but the permanent state of apartheid if you me important thing to know is the defacto annexation has already occurred so when we're talking about annexation especially with regards to the trump land we're talking about did your annexation is are already controls all of the land from the river the jordan
5:12 pm
river to mediterranean sea others argue that the plan calls for negotiations not unilateral actions if one looks carefully at the greenman proposal with no comparables although not proposing that is will act unilaterally nor are they demanding the palestinians except to the such they say this is our proposal you parties sit and negotiate it now is will there under this plan israel would have certain parts of the west bank but it might need to be negotiated israeli prime minister benyamin netanyahu had promised to swiftly assert sovereignty over the west bank settlements on the jordan valley the us however seems to be pushing for that to happen only after the israeli elections on march the 2nd a joint us israeli committee has started working out the details of the map if the international community is still interested in international law being a fundamental governing regime for universal values needs to consider what's happening in palestine very seriously indeed what happens to the palestinians here
5:13 pm
can easily happen elsewhere and i think it proves a case in point and we already see moves elsewhere in the world if israel proceeds with such a defacto an exaggeration it's unclear how the rest of the international community will react when you take a closer look with the hardy armor who's a former u.s. deputy special envoy for israeli palestinian negotiations welcome to d.w. how do you see this is this plan likely to violate international law. look 1st of all the main question for for your viewers is why should the international community in europe in the us care and it's because from day one right the outset 100 years ago 70 years ago we've been implicated in in creating. this sort of 2 state solution which the united states and israel even accepted over 70 years ago
5:14 pm
so that's number one you know look the trump plan essentially violates all the coup or principles that we. that the international community that former u.s. presidents worked on so 1st and foremost there's you know half of the people in the holy land are jews the other half are palestinians there needs to be kind of equal measures of freedom. equality prosperity and security for both peoples and this plan simply does not provide for that so it's a given that not just the palestinians dislike this pond but they also have support from the number of countries. the palestinian know how to get the babies of the countries of back them through official channels. well in it in a great sense they already have right so the arab league the organization of the islamic conference the european union high representative the united nations secretary general have all said that plans must be based on united nations
5:15 pm
resolutions and not trump's plan so it's essentially the trump plan is essentially an agreement between an embattled american president and a prime minister in israel who is both up for election and is currently being invited so it's really a plan between those 2 individuals and their advisers doesn't really include anyone else there's that i mean chance of this big just being imposed on the palestinians . well as i think it is in your preview one of the speakers said you know in a sense israel already controls right all of the land between you know all of palestine in one way or another either directly or by you know sort of controlling the freedom of entry and exit so in a sense israel already controls all the land. and so if israel wants to declare certainly hands and next i suppose they can do that but it's pretty clear that the
5:16 pm
international community will never recognize that look israel is one of the most prosperous countries in the world its per capita g.d.p. is greater than france greater than japan it should be basking in comfort and security and prosperity and drinking pina coladas on the beach instead it's in battle and traumatized because it is trying to control the lives of half of the people that runs between in the holy land and it's just it's not going to work so it security and prosperity require a fear deal and that's what the international community and president abbas are speaking about good talking to thank you for joining us on a. great pleasure. still to come here. close to london's world famous that tate modern gallery is creating. the collection by painting to scotty
5:17 pm
showing up we'll find out why. the 1st russian billionaire. donated the original 892 olympics manifesto to the even museum in switzerland was the mystery bought of the 14 page document as an auction last december it sold for 8000000 viewers making it the most expensive sports memorabilia ever sold at auction. the original manifest it was penned by the international olympic committee found here to outline his vision of the modern games. let's get more. involved jonathan crane welcome to jonathan tell us more than about this manifesto. was a french aristocrats and he basically wanted to revive the ancient greek olympics he thought sport could be used to prevent war and also brings the sides the closer together now we've got a little from his 14 page manifesto he says it is clear that the telegraph railways the telephone the passionate research and science congresses and exhibitions have
5:18 pm
done more for peace than any treaty or diplomatic convention well i hope sports will do even more say this manifesto to be the only copy of a speech. in paris in 8922 years after that he founded the international olympic committee and then 2 years later in 1906 the 1st pics were held in athens so this is a hugely significant document when you consider how the olympics is developed since then now i.o.c. president thomas back obviously very proud that they can now display this manifesto in the olympic museum in los an. we're told it was the reason for the olympic games. for. overestimate the significance. of these speeches. and so tell us more about this benefactor off yeah it's really interesting that we now
5:19 pm
know the identity of the by a because it was made public at the time is a russian businessman he's worth billions a year worth quite a lot of money you made a fortune in mining metals you also owns the newspaper commissary has a lot of sway in the country he's also got his finger on a few sporting pizey i used to own a share in english football club. that he is looking to buy and potentially been linked with. some interest that is also the president of the international fencing federation which coincidentally thomas bach won olympic gold medal in comparison is that and that position also gives him some influence the top sporting table in the olympic movement a slightly cynical question is he doing this filly act for the public good well if you ask him he says it was appropriate to keep what he called a priceless manuscripts in the olympic museum but he did pay an awful lot for it 1000000 euros as we said that was 10 times more than was expected remember this comes at a time as well that russia is fighting for its very and then pick future it's been
5:20 pm
banned from the olympics pending an appeal in the course of arbitration for sport that's because of a state backed scandal now we know thomas backed the i.o.c. president is taking a more sympathetic stance towards russia he opposes a blanket ban on all athletes in russia generate all full lots of money as a sporting superpower brings in a lot of money for federations an organization so this is really an interesting story that kind of pits sporting idea was against politics probably something that didn't really envisage when he penned that document more than a century ago jonathan krohn thank you. out of football and you're going klinsmann has stunned germany's blunders league about resigning as coach of head to bat live after 10 weeks in the job the former germany and united states coach was a significant appointment for hatter who have new big money backers and were hoping to turn the side into bring this league title challengers but they were the only
5:21 pm
$1.00 of the last 5 games to confirm the news an hour after klinsmann posted his resignation on facebook. i don't expect from d.w. sports can tell us more welcome a young young kids but of course a big name in football this is a bad look for heter and indeed lofty ambitions yeah it's very bad to be honest it's pretty embarrassing for the club has had no idea that this was coming klinsmann blindsided them by announcing this on facebook without consulting them it seems and opposes big questions about the club's management and also structures in place klinsmann was 1st brought to the club back in november to sit on the club's advisory board and that was reportedly at the request of the club's biggest investor and then 2 weeks later he was brought in to coach the team when i was found themselves in a bad position and so now they spent some time with him for about which players he wanted to spend $80000000.00 euros on players that he wanted to bring in and now 10 weeks later he's just left them jump ship without any notice and it's a bit of
5:22 pm
a circus to be honest ok so what is each side saying so klinsmann himself was quite pointed in a little bit of criticism of towards the club he said that he needed the trust of all people involved and that unity team spirit and focus on the basics one guaranteed at the club which meant that he wasn't being able to fulfill his potential as a coach now that sounds as a criticism which you can take it as one but it also sounds as if he's passing the buck a little bit i think he's pap's found himself a bit out of depth at the club he's not a world class coach he was sacked by almost a decade ago he was sacked by the u.s. national same and even his time at. the german national team in 2006 most people required regard as being the brains behind that. pets of their all to look to their credit they couldn't really do much they didn't know this was coming so all they have said is was shocked by this was sad to see him go and released another statement you know when we have time to take stock ok so where does this leave hatter in
5:23 pm
a pretty pretty tough position to be honest 1st there's the question of what do they do with you again klinsmann he said in his statement that he expects now to go back to sitting on the advisory board that sounds a bit farfetched to me given the way he is resorts right now. they're in a lot of trouble on the field. in a relegation battle their only 6 points off the bottom 3 spots they've just lost to mind next up they have what is that powder born cologne and all clubs in the relegation you know battle as well so if they don't pick up a couple of wins in those games they're looking at a disastrous relegation this is a club that has began missions they want to be in the top 4 playing champions league they want to eventually challenge for the bundesliga title but there has to be a bit of a reality check for them that they're not ready and they need better structures in place if they're going to challenge or to reach those lofty ambitions never a dull moment going to spencer did of the sport thank you is. so from german bund

the team started to grow through word of mouth. these are the only ones i care about so it never even occurred to me that i would ever play hockey for some. also my classmate the coaches daughter she suggested i come and try to play hockey to cut securing the cuts. the team now has around 15 playoffs changing minds won't be easy but locus us slowly warming up to the country's 1st female ice hockey team. so now you know that one man's trash is another man's treasure or perhaps another man's art an artist in london is transforming discarded chewing gum from the city's streets into a miniature works of. a stone's throw away from st paul's cathedral in london is the millennium bridge over the river thames this part of the british capital is no stranger to world famous galleries but practically on their doorsteps there's an unlikely artist in residence. for the studio but.
