details coming up. those are our top stories, live from paris. genie: we will start first in ukraine with the man who once played a president on television . he has now become one in real life. standup comedian volodymyr zelenskiy inaugurated this morning after winning a landslide victory against incumbent president petro poroshenko. he is the youngest ever post-s-soviet president. he has announceded he is dissolving parliament to hold early elections. as the leader of a country dependent on international aid, zelenskiy will also have to deal problems and tense relations with r russia.a. our international affairs analyst joins us to talk more

about the situation in ukraine. let's start with the decision to dissolve parliament. what is behind that? the difficulty is there is no base for him i in parliament at the moment. does have mr.r. zelenskiy is a certain amount of goodwill among ukrainian voters. he won in a landslide against petro poroshenko, admittedly not with a massive turnout. it was around 62% to rid nevertheless he does have a mandate and he does not want t o lolose momentum. is having this effort to hold early elections. if he waited until the official date of october 27, that would probably play against his political party, which is called servant of the people. it would be five months of being president, but without the tools to do much.

it would look like political impotence and he did not want that. even with the early election, it is expected he will need a partner. he is unlikely to have the brbreakthrough in parliament he had in the presidential election. so he will probably have to find a coalition partner, or the servant of the people would have to have a coalition partner or partners in parliament. comingthe new president into office with little to o no experience. international relations will be quite difficult for him, it would seem. is a says his first task cease-fire. he says, we did not start this work, but it's up to us to end it. he also said negotiations with russia are inevitable, without giving any precise time for that to happen. there have been a few -- perhaps you could say somewhat dovish sounding comments, but at the same time, there's not much room for optimism in terms of

relations with russia. if you look at zelenskiy's positions during the campaign, not be anyre would special status granted to the breakaway regions, and he also crimea's return to ukrainian control could only be possible under new leadership in russia. that is not music to the heirs of the kremlin. the kremlin, which actually earlier this month eased procedurures for ukrainians to apply for russian passports, if they wanted. that is simimilar to what russia did in georgia's breakaway region. thosees it harder for regions to come under kiev's control. we heard a kremlin spokesperson zhang the russian president has no plans to meet with mr. zelenskiy and will not be congratulalating him on taking p the post.

it's a preretty frosty atmosphee riright from the startrt, and it seems it's going to be difficult for presidenent zelenskiy to achieve his first goal, which is ukrainianack the 24 sailors under arrest in russia after being captured in an incident earlier thihis year. genie: thank you for that, armen georgian. between theck on provisionncil and a asking for representatives for civilians. this was after the army ousted and arrested omar al-bashir last month. negotiations between the council and the military ceased after violent protests. they are committed to a bute-year transition, overnight talks failed to produce a breakthrough. no deal this morning,

and that is something of a surprise. the military and the opposition both said they were very close to the deal when talks broke up a few days ago. they said that they needed to i's, the t's and dot the and that could be in. we are basically where we were when talks broke appear as there's a plan for election to democratic transition of three years time. there will be a parliament dominated by the opposition. but we do not know the crucial question, but who will sit on the country's top body in those interim three years? will it be a majority from the old guard, the army, or representatives ofof the protesters in the streets? perhaps there will be more clarity tonight. our correspondent reporting from khartoum. the former south african president jacob zuma in court
