following months of political turmoil. abdullah ham doc said it was not possible for him to restore order under a power sharing agreement with the military and the army seized power back in october. mister ham dock and his cabinet were detained. he was and released and reinstated in november it resignation from the transitional government leaves the military and sole control of the country. ah, under the weekend of protests ensued on the quickly descended into violence. at least 2 people were killed by security forces. after thousands of pro democracy demonstrators took to the streets. 7 dozens have died in mid unrest since prime minister abdullah hum dock signed to polish m deal with the military following a crew in october. but he now admits that hasn't worked out. and new thinking is

needed. oh, read a boomer in our local massacre. i decided to give back the responsibility an o and announced my resignation as prime minister locum to give a chance to another man, a woman abyss, noble country, and was about to continue leading our d a nation. been at the war and help a pass to what's left of the transitional period to a civilian democratic country. while aboard me colon mike about graham and i'm relatable. now with donald mckinney and de moral fia luck. 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, births with hum, dock gone, and sued, done roiled by unrest. the road to democracy looks increasingly fragile.

well, let's take a closer look at this with hollywood hire, who is 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 sort 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 reality, he found that he couldn't do much of anything. he couldn't appoint a new cabinet. he 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 less because most people,

let's go got his included, read the agreement that he signed with the general, but hon as nothing more than a continuation of the 2 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, 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, you is 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 within repression tactics used by their as you 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 fact ahead isn't that not being able to do anything that he wasn't able to do anything because the military made it short made sure 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 sole 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, um, and 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 protest 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 happening and cartoon and other major cities because it protests, it's also happening and our fall as central politics and cartoon in the rising tensions that was very clear. thank you so much for sharing your are your i'm not as with us. colo tire from inside strategy partners. thank you for the roof of south africa. parliament buildings on fire again, almost a day after fire fighter said they had contained a major fire. in the last hour, flames and billowing smoke had been seen in the roof of the assembly building in

cape town, and firefighters have been called back the parliament to call to alight early on sunday. in spring burning since 49 year old man who said to face court on tuesday, charged on several counts, including often just before the fire, a flat off again and minister warmed the temperatures in the building remained dangerously high. it seems the check inside as evolving is so that's minus a 100 degrees celsius, down from what it was yesterday, it over $400.00 degrees celsius. i'd be done in the meantime, east to use a drone that they're putting inside the building to assist the destruction of the building. i'm to can can cool down some more news from around the world now. starting in brazil, my president j. a ball sanara has been taken to hospital to be treated for a suspected intestinal obstruction. government medical bulletin says the 66 year

old is doing well. he was hospitalized in july with similar problems, resulting from a 2018 knife attack, which left him with stomach, whoops. in a call with ukraine's president vladimir zalinski, u. s. president joe biden has said, benighted states and salary will respond decisively if russia further invites you crate. president biden's, also back in diplomatic efforts to resolve the stand off talks between us and russian. officials are scheduled in geneva this month. us defense secretary lloyd austin has tested positive for $1219.00 and is planning to isolate at home for 5 days. i set out an official guidelines general austin's fully vaccinated. he says he last met president by more than a week before he began to feel unwell, her war, and ensure that hong kong where another media outlet is closing down in the face of pressure from the chinese government. citizen news says it no longer felt safe to

publish after journalists from a competitor would charge with sedition the decision by one of or one of the territories. few remaining independent news providers came on the same day. a new legislative council of beijing loyalists was sworn in for hong kong. this is the start of a new era. these the 1st lawmakers to take office on a new election rules that excluded any one deemed is loyal 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 voter turnout. the lowest in the city returned to chinese rule. so young don't lie. young hong kong chief executive carry lan over saw 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 no longer see clearly the reasoning of lauren forestman. barbara, i see the and we can no longer feel safe to work on 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 just the latest sign of hong kong, increasingly on free media environment and of how rapidly beijing has worked a road to city special status and freedoms. turkeys annual inflation rates as jump to more than the 36 percent. the figures from december, the high from, from 8020 years value of the turkish lira has slumped to record loaves, forcing retailers to hike prices. the currency has suffered as a result of a series of central bank rate cuts forced through by president reggie tie bird one . go straight to turkey, that and join d. w,

corresponded dorian jones in istanbul. welcome a dorian, how severe are the countries inflation problems? well it's brutal invite to give you an example. i mean i was picking up my son today we went to his favorite po, feta cheese on toes and the price increase from 8 to 11 live. now they write, the price is with pencil so they can increase the price is without changing the menus. and this is happening all over the country. prices arise, you want everything, you can imagine. i'm buying milk, it was 16 lira last year. and now it's $24.00. when i came to buy a cruise from christmas at the beginning of the week, it was a 100 lira when i went to buy it 2 days later to jump to a 124 basic staples, things are poor. people rely on like lentils, the prices have increased 3, fall from $8.00 to $24.00 lira for a packet, and things like toilet paper that something every is talking about. last year, a packet of 9 was 50. now it went,

then it went to 70. and now it's on my mind blowing a $150.00 lira across a bull prices. oh, rocketing and talked, woke up on new year's day for the announcement in electricity have increased a 120 percent. this is leading to independent analysts to say the inflation is far higher if at one group is put the figure it over 80 percent inflation in turkey. and some people think that is a very conservative estimate. okay, so this sounds like it's are out of control, does the president have a plan to bring it back under control? but well, the presenter is confounding. a conventional economic wisdom when you have a rising inflation. the idea is that you increase interest rates. you think money out in the economy and actually for prices for the present with mrs or east know that lie interest rates poses more inflation and he is the amount in place in your things to be quite full sense. while the rest of the world interest rates are

rising, on top of that i, he's l. so with announced a 50 percent increase in the minimum wage. and the last economists say that that will lead to further inflation as employ pass on those were weight height across to consumers of the present standing firm. he dismisses his ease accusing color act theresa shops of taking advantage of increasing price isn't necessarily and he's even center. he's officials to visit shops on the market. they reduce prices, and there are even rumors that special costs will be set up across the country to enforce the reduction of prices. but these loose have been dismissed by ex. but to say that this is just catering for the cameras and will do nothing to deal with inflation. ok, thank you for that, dora dorian johnson. if stumble, india now is preparing for a new surgeon corona virus infections because of the only chron variant health authorities and are vaccinating 15 to 18 year olds. and there are plans to administer booster shots to people over 60. from next week,

several cities including the capitol delhi are already on the strict restrictions, but that wasn't the case over the weekend in the beach resort of goa. 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 dated 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 delta wave and is now expanding its vaccination program to children, aged 15 and above. but the spec to refer the familiar coming measures as drawn a mixed reaction with troubled feedings about a return to locked down. the load on dog lock downs are not an option. if another variant emerges after this will they locked down again. this will cause massive economic losses. it's wrong. so in other halo, non le,

i'm worried about the variant but look downs really inconvenienced people that daily needs not met their salaries affected. sometimes half these problems are inevitable. you've got it all of the a lot downs and vaccination, a to tools in the fight against cave at 19. but with all microns rapid infection rate, the authorities might need to look to other strategies to keep the virus at bay, or the netherlands, or seen more violence during protest against corona virus restrictions. there were about 30 arrests as thousands turned out in amsterdam to demonstrate against the national lockdown imposed a week before christmas. they say no to the locked down now to the government's measures. this there 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 with them. we're all going to die. i like to live. i'm not my 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 freedom. hey, i'm here because i think that we all must be free. oh, would i mobile design? 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 or mccombs prescribed on the

coroner's spreading, even faster than we feared. and so we need to intervene now to prevent a much worse outcome there, as a precaution are for zora. 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. a kenyan paleo anthropologist, rich and leaky has died at the age of 77. the work of the world renowned conservationist on the fossil hunter held to underpin the fear that human evolution began in africa. which li, he was also celebrated for his work, the se, wildlife of poachers. of the leading campaigns against the ivory tried a dr. paula to homer, a. c e. o of wild life director, one of africa's press, known wildlife conservationists to join us from nairobi. welcome to the w. what has the conservation world last withered richard lee?

you name it and as a person, he was very loyal to his friends. and he was also very concerned about big issues and he felt very, it was very important for him to speak out on major issues, whether it was corruption and the impact of that on the economy of kenya. whether it was climate change on the impact of that on species extinctions, you know, he will, he was not shy over using his brilliant minds to, to further b, intellectual discussion on many of these issues. like i'm claiming a made his marker are not just on the counter blomberg on the world. on in 1989, he was appointed to li, big canyon wildlife service. why was this in organization so important for the country? well, at that time, the previous organization had been very much involved in the poaching itself. there was so much corruption and perhaps abuse in that organization. and richard leaky,

basically insisted that we could have a national wildlife authority that had integrity, that would fight for wildlife and succeed. and he trained many, many africans to work and run that organization. can your while have service became an african icon for conservation of country. our country and our service and authority has played a major role in many of the global conversations, whether it's climate discussions, are biodiversity discussions, and also of course, wildlife treat compositions, especially through the cities convention. and now that he has a past, what happens to the, the fight against corruption and against wildlife poaching? well, richard, major work in the last few years has been very much on the failure anthropology. he was, he was running an organization called to conner base. it institute, which is a local research organization that works on the pre history and on fossil finding

latest approach in the fight against g hottest terrorists in mauritania. a traditional solution to a modern problem. the mahari national guard or a police unit recruited from local nomads. there, camels are their most important tool there. the best way to get around the vast border region between mauritania and molly g. hottest 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, does it? am i gonna say no, i agents go undercover in the market unless they spy on the traders. for example, if we see a know med buying large quantities of fuel, we know that is not normal shipper. and no matter your boss is to see the bodies, one up there work is not without danger. while the men cook, lieutenant colonel city labs are secures the camp in or fair ah said kid,

we form a circle. each group has a century and we from the command or in the center or sample. the mahari police travels through the desert for months at a time or feed in monsieur dante valdez on the hotel. we patrol the region. sophie, we look for nomadic populations, but to yourself the we raise awareness. even though we gather intelligence as well that and communicate that to the central government in no act shots of thought that are on opposite of the capital corps are partly funded by money from the european union. it's an international attempt to improve security here. and in the larger region known as the sa, held, it's counter terrorism that starts at a local level. got the lizzie steamy had his to it. now, how did units gather intelligence?

lemon us, they spoke the threats and been anti terrorism units that get involved in take care of those threats on that account. said let us their job is to also deepen trust with people, people they know from their own communities. they help them by providing health care to said them, the sequence of to this woman says she has vertigo, nausea and general fatigue. that's why i gave her some alban designs because she could have a parasite desert. so see on the pot as he thought. this approach combining local knowledge with traditional connections and offering help as well as asking for information. it's proving popular. a few 100 new mahari police are already operational and authority say they plan to recruit $200.00 more i. this is d w in years life from berlin, his remind vot top story at this hour. so don's prime minister has resigned
