ah, what is true? what's vague? it doesn't matter. the only criteria, what will people, we shed light on the opaque world who's behind benefits and why are they a threat to what's all open world starts january 5th on d. w with this is the w news line from bern, sedans. prime minister steps down asked violent don rast, escalades, after weeks of protest, abdullah ham dock says

a power sharing deal with the army has failed to restore order. also on the program on called new beijing approved legislature is sworn in as a charity loses another independent media outlet. the cities a news website says it's closing down to journalists no longer feel safe. europe's christmas holidays are over, but not all children have going back to school. this government's debate how to cut the number of only 20 infections in the pandemic. monitoring your turn. switch traditional mode of transportation as part of efforts to fight terrorism in the south region. ah, i'm fil gale. welcome to the program. the prime minister of sudan has resigned falling bunch of political turmoil. abdullah ham dot said it was not possible for him to restore order under

a power sharing agreement with the military. when the army stage a coup back in october, mister ham dock in his cabinet were detained before he was released and reinstated in november. his resignation from the transitional government leaves the military and sole control of the country. ah, under the weekend of protest is to don the quickly descended into violence at least 2 people were killed by security forces. after thousands of pro democracy demonstrators took to the streets, dozens have died in mid unrest since prime minister abdullah hum doc signed a polish m deal with the military following accruing october. but he now admits that hasn't worked out. and new thinking is needed. oh,

in our local massacre, i decided to give back the responsibility and, and announced my resignation as prime minister locum to give a chance to another man. a woman of this noble country ought to continue leading ugly inaction than i thought and help it past do what's left of the transitional period to a civilian democratic country. while aboard me colon mike about graham, and i'm going to carl now with dolan matheney and the more opium military and civilian leaders have been sharing power. since it also cracked, omar bashir was ousted in 2090 after 30 years and charge elections are currently planned for july. c boots with ham dock gone and sued, done roiled by and rest the road to democracy. looks increasingly fragile. let's take a closer look at this colored higher, who's managing director of inside strategy. pardon us, as

a think tank founded to support state building and transition in pseudo a welcome to d. w. and what is your understanding of why abdullah hum doc resigned? well, quite literally ethan. see through any of the plans that he had to bring about any sorts of continuation of the transition. and that's because the transition is effectively dead as of the october 25th qu. but beyond that, the 21st of november agreement, which effectively codified the coo, ended up constricting the prime minister as an executive space. so in fact, in, in, in reality he found that he couldn't do much of anything. he couldn't appoint a new cabinet. it couldn't undo appointments, made since the coo, he couldn't, you know, choose his own staff or am or gather the kind of political parties and political support around him that he could. and that's because most people political part is included, read the agreement that he signed with the general. but hon as nothing more than

a continuation of the crew and so were low to be a part of it. right. so he went in or if i can put it this way with his eyes open. so why is he now giving, giving a given that was he naive? well, he had said that he had signed the cook, that the agreement on the 21st as a means to stop the bloodshed which had happened since the crew started. and, and also because he didn't, he wanted to make sure that the gains of the past 2 years, he was referring particularly to the economic games were not squandered. now both of those things have happened. we've seen an increase or ad continuation of people being killed of seen were repression tactics used by the regime continue. and the international community has held off on returning some of their investments and all almost all of the investments and 8, and that was from it. so those, both of 2 reasons ended up sort of being without foundation and he found also that he couldn't make any headway with the military. i think that's an important factor

that often gets missed. you know, ham dog made a lot of mistakes, but really the key factor here isn't that not being able to do anything that he wasn't able to do anything because the military made it short. mitchell, that was the case. right. so where does that leave these mass protest which as we saw in the, in the report have been met with violent at the armed military responses. now the military is in so control of the country. how do things change if at all well, there's increase pressure in the military now because they cannot, ah, they do not, no longer have this fig leaf of a civilian facade. i'm an with you know, behind which to hide and they also aren't able to say that there are other sort of governmental structures that are to blame or to be held accountable. they are now to be held solely accountable for any violence that gets me to that, against protest and protest as have vowed 2 things, one, they maintain peaceful protests and to they will maintain to hold these protest

despite the rise in suppression and oppression tactics from the regime very much similar to the ones we saw underbrush here. right? so the protest continue, the military stay in power. so what, given that sudan is such a poor country, what does the military want? is it now to just stay in power so we cannot be held accountable for its previous actions, or is there a longer term strategy? well it, it's worth saying the sedan is not a poor country, it's just consistently been poorly managed. and that's why you see these levels of poverty, et cetera. i mean, the military is going to have to contend with that. i do think there is some sort of naivete about the realities of governing. and actually that they've bitten off more than more than they can chew. what i would like to see now was at their local allies in the region, particularly saudi egypt, the united arab emirates, israel, and further afield. united states really sort of put pressure on them to realize

that they're making wrong calculations right now. and continuing to double down and repress, particularly because the protests haven't shown any signs of abating and they've not shown that they are going to sort of cow tower to any of these repression tactics. what the minute you need to do now is get some good advice about how to move forward seating some of the control that they have in order to stop, the continued destabilization that's not just happening and call to and other major cities because it protests, it's also happening and our fall as central politics in khartoum in the rising tensions there was very clear. thank you so much for sharing your are you, i'm not as with us colon tire from inside strategy partner. thank you to take a look now. some more of the store is making headlines around the world to start in brazil where president shire boston are, has been rushed to hospital for treatment of a suspected intestinal obstruction. the 66 year old was or was hospitalized in july for structure, the intestine resulting from the 2018 night attack,

left in the stab wounds to his abdomen. in a call with ukraine's president vladimir zalinski, us president joe biden. and the united states and its allies will respond decisively if russia the invades ukraine. president vibe is also backing diplomatic efforts to resolve stand talk between the united states and russian officials are scheduled in geneva. this is defense secretary lloyd austin has tested positive coded 19. he's planning to isolate at home for 5 days as a set out to the official guidelines. he said he last met the president of more than a week before he began to feel, well, he's vaccinated for war and ensure no, no, hong kong media outlets at closing down in the face of growing pressure from the chinese government citizen, you said it no longer felt safe to publish after journalist from a competitor would charge with the addition the decision by one of the terrorist,

a few remaining independent news providers. i came on the same day that a new legislative council loyal to beijing was sworn it for hong kong. this is the start of a new era. these, the 1st law makers to take office and a new election rules that excluded any one deemed disloyal to china's communist government. and the 1st to be sworn in under china's national emblem. another sign of beijing's tightening grip. just 20 were directly elected with voted, turn out the lowest in the city returned to chinese rule. so young de la young hong kong chief executive carry land over, sold the ceremony. she now faces even less descent from outside the council, as well. after a major independent news website announced its closure made immediate crackdown. although i don't know we've been trying our best not to violate any laws, but we can known gassy, clearly the reasoning of lauren forestman so far i seen all the and we can no

longer feel safe to work all taking all the move was prompted by a police raid on pro democracy outlet stand meas, last week, when several journalists were arrested under colonial era sedition law. to many western observers, citizen uses closure is, is the latest sign of hong kong, increasingly on free media environment and of how rapidly beijing has worked her road, the cities, special status and freedoms. well here's that database corresponded phoebe call on what this latest closure of an independent media outlet means of press freedom in the territory. oh, is this a news accept pledged in just a 2017. it was an independent news outlet, mainly financed by us attrition fees up to be that it was independently run late without pressure from the business people or political pressure. so citizens

there and also stand news which was shut down earlier last week. both of them have gained huge popularity in hong kong, even though they're just a very young media outlets and home with just a few years history. but they're really popular. have a lot, read the base of media in some business, and hawkeye, especially those pro democracy supported. so this is indeed a really huge blow to the gentleness industry that 2 independent media outlets have to close themselves out like so often pass it under the pressure of their forties and the new legislation and hey, have to adjust when a new normal in hong kong that most of the influential independent media outlets have shut down with only a few remaining outlet still running. so this is really affect the future of home. so the feature of how jealous can work on the ground.

phoebe call, or india, which is preparing for a new surgeon corona virus infections due to the omi chrome variant health authorities in our vaccinating 15 to 18 year olds. i've been plans to administer booster shots to people over 60 from next week. several cities including the capital debbie already under strict restrictions, but that wasn't the case over the weekend. the beach resort of go new year in india, celebrations, fireworks, and stalking the crowd. omicron fears that the highly contagious new virus drain could spread rapidly seemed to be being borne out with the highest data numbers of infection since october. and a sizable figure of cases confirmed as the new omicron variant. it comes as india tries to make up for the devastation of the del to wave and is now expanding his vaccination program to children, aged 15 and above. but the spec to refer the familiar calming measures has drawn

a mixed reaction with troubled feedings about to return to lock down. the load on dog locked downs are not an option. give another variant emerges after this. will they locked down? again, this will cause massive economic losses. it's wrong. and other halo non le, i'm worried about the variant but lot downs really inconvenience people that daily needs are not met their salaries affected. sometimes have these problems are inevitable. you got it all of the locked down and vaccination, a to tools in the fight against cave in 19, but with all microns rapid infection rate, the authorities might need to look to other strategies to keep the virus at bay or his date of the correspond. namisha just well with her assessment good on a lot of cases, a steadily ticking up across india as those of the on the cross variant. the detection of which has now crossed $1700.00 cases. india has seen at see full driver and cases over the last week and in delhi alone, that has been

a tenfold res, causing the imposition of new restrictions, including night, gulf views, the closure of gym, who will go ologist, as well as spot delhi is now expecting to enter a red alert, which will cause the complete lockdown of markets like this one, along with other restrictions by people who are all voted about the on the tron bed . and the also why do you about the consequences of such locked down, which are both economic and educational. while other countries seem to be trying to figure out how to keep within businesses open along with that could owner by the 30th india may very be on the back foot. as a consequence of the massive that can be a bit thought last year. as a result of the delta parent. so mr. joshua for a lot of children around the world are returning to school today, following extended to holiday breaks, but locked down. so keeping stuff from returning to the classrooms, like in the netherlands and with a rising number of only cross infections, england has followed other parts of the u. k. and mandating the wearing of face

masks in secondary schools. germany is also a me to keep its schools open and with a pandemic entering its 3rd year. the disruption to everyday life has been especially hard on children. catherine, a thinker is a secretary general of the german federal student conference, which represents the interests of school pupils across germany. a welcome to d w. that's the let's start with we can start with a sort of the start of term report. what do you think of the way school authorities of handle this crisis so far? i think we had big problems, especially in the beginning after pandemic, because we're completely closed. and now we're already like 2 years in. and we're at the same point as well, and begin to plan that make as much more to be improved. i think we have

to communicate with other ministries and the politics. right? so you don't think it's going well what, what code or should i help with school? authorities have done better or differently it's important to communicate, especially with the students that are in school, and we do people that are living through the rules that are yeah, given from above and nobody will, it's hard to us. but we like the people that i had one situation and that point. and if you would hit your students to young people, what they're feeling, how they're feeling in school. like maybe would be a better way to handle situation and to, to canon schools. and what sort of effect you think the pandemic is having on children and their educations? well deborah, biggest problem we have in that case is and, and my case and,

and many others that are mental health is suffering from many young people because we're at socialist time thing. and in our generation, in our evolution, social context are among pardon and then every other part of life. and those and given young people are really struggling with the live in that case. awesome, that's good luck. right? but these are extraordinary circumstances. do we just have to accept but we will get some things wrong? and unfortunately, a, some children's education and indeed mental health will suffer. we simply can't just accept the fact that people are suffering and there must be year . how say it's am, there must be options for young people to search for help and to get help at these

because why now it's very difficult. and many people who are offering those have like psychologists are closing down their places. and people simply meet upset those places they need to how they need to talk about and not only in their pants house, but also with external too. and you've been quoted as saying that digital learning isn't working a, where do you feel is going wrong? and dummy in many parts, it's gone. so some students don't have any, any tablets or any laptops that can work with at home day, don't have the science to work alone or even don't have the connection to the internet. and then there's the parks where to digital learning is kind of happening

online to teaching of happening. and it's really important for many teachers and also from in skins. dead digital learning is not the same as to one another and presence and it can be the same as the teaching online. ok, thank you so much for joining us and explain to clearly katerina speaker from the a german federal student conference. thank him. violence hasn't broken out during protests seconds. corona virus restrictions in the netherlands. there are about 30 arrests of thousands turned out in amsterdam to demonstrate against a national lockdown in post a week before christmas. they say no to the locked down, no to the government's measures. what is their limit? this demonstrator asks, it's just the latest demonstration in the netherlands against the government's curbs. aimed at stopping omicron police band. the protest that didn't stop people

from turning out. many say they're not afraid of catching the virus. i'm here because i like to live and i don't think we should be scared. a stop, we're living because we are saddle them, we're all going to die. i like to live. i mom, they a restriction measures have nothing to do with my health. i mean, there are people who want to impose control on us and take all our freedoms. i'm here because i think that we all must be free. oh, what i most i scuffles broke out as police broke up the demonstration. it violated the current locked on rules in the netherlands, according to which only 2 people are allowed to meet at once. non essential shops, restaurants, bars and theaters remain closed until at least the 14th of january. announcing the measures, the prime minister made clear, he had no choice, omi called,

was great on the corner spreading even faster than we fear it. and so we need to intervene now to prevent a much worse outcome assoc precaution at fort worth. but the measures have also outraged the vocal anti lockdown protesters. and as long as the government measures are in force, they say they will continue to take to the streets. there's more of the latest developments in the pandemic starting in indonesia, which says it will of a booster vaccine to the general public from the 12th of january for adults who receive their 2nd shots more than 6 months ago. israel has already started that giving 2nd booster shots to health workers and people over 60 people with people with weakened immunity like transplant patient started to receive their 2nd boosters on friday. and france says it will make a decision on whether to recommend a 4th shot in february or march. the head of the french vaccination program says it, scientists are waiting for more data. so more headlines from around the world. now

solution to a modern problem. the mahari national guard are a police unit recruited from local nomads. their camels are their most important tool. they're the best way to get around the vast border region between mauritania and molly. jihadist groups linked to al qaeda, have gained ground nearby, and authorities fighting them. need the kind of intelligence that only locals can offer was oh, is it a while ago? so i agents go undercover in the market. they spy on the traders. for example, if we see a nomad buying large quantities of fuel, we know that is not normal shipper and norma. boss is to see the pot is one up. there work is not without danger. while the men cook, lieutenant colonel city labs are secures the camp. in or fed, ah said kid,
