against former president ahmed bashir but hamdan has paid a high price one night in january on his way home from a demonstration he was followed by security forces. you know some people came from behind me and started beating me with an electric but. they did not say anything. i was hit directly in my eye. i told the officer that i had had i surgery and that i had lost my cornea he said we could kill you never mind your eye. hamdan might never see with his right eye again and the harassment continued when he was taken to a detention center by the security forces there an officer recognized him as a prominent activist that. forcibly stripped me they ripped my shirt and trousers they started saying inappropriate things and threatened to rape me i felt ashamed being in front of so many people and being naked and having all these things said to you it's been a huge psychological toll. another witness to the cost of the revolution is doctor now. she helps run this field clinic at the heart of the sit in in front of the army headquarters in the days leading up to the removal of ahmed al bash

banks egypt since the removal of ahmed bashir has been trying to act as a broker with the african union for example and reaching striking a deal to try to give the military council some time to to to hand power with that being said it is obvious that these countries are interfering perhaps more on the side of the military than the protesters because they do have an interest in having their allies remain in power all right. thank you. next story is in zimbabwe where the government has again hiked the fuel price this time by up to 47 percent now when the government did so a few months ago protests erupted in the country privileged reports. this situation in zimbabwe keeps getting tighter and tighter for the ordinary person this is at the back of fuel increases that have happened twice in the space of 4 months queues every day in every way the fuel is not readily available this has had a ripple effect across the economy because prices of goods and services have gone out shopping with ca's are feeling the pinch because salaries have not gone up to match the increases that are happening in t

something that the 2 sides have been arguing about since the military council ousted former president ahmed bashir and took power now they have agreed to have a 3 year transition period that's the average of what both sides wanted the opposition coalition wanted a 4 year transitional period while the transitional military council wanted it to your transitional period so that they have agreed on the middle ground and 3 years is what it's going to be for the time being they've also said that the 1st 6 months of that 3 year transition period will be dedicated to ending words around the country including the western region of dark for the southern regions of southern kordofan so these are issues that they will be tackling during the 1st 6 months they've also agreed on how much representation will be in the legislative assembly there is the we've heard from the military council that the opposition coalition will be getting 67 percent representation in the transitional legislative assembly and the other parties will be getting 33 percent they've also said that the opposition coalition will be deciding w

felicity this afternoon the state prosecutor the state's attorney and downs that the former president ahmed bashir will be charged with incitement to killing protesters who participated in the december uprising which is of course still ongoing now the sudanese doctors committee said that at least 90 people have been killed so dan's government has been insisting that that number was much lower and that only 38 people have been killed regardless of that felicity right now the state attorney is charging president former president arm of the shoe with the incitement and participation in the killing of those protesters and the charges for that out of the punishment for those charges under the sudans law act will be death if convicted so we're yet to hear from the state prosecutor what will happen when he will be presented and how he will defend himself but for the time being people seem to be feeling that some kind of justice will be achieved if he is presented to try out for a trial and if it's fair and just in the meantime just tell saw all the military and opposition from some sort of agreement over

capping there for 7 weeks now demanding that the military council which ousted former president ahmed bashir from power on the 11th of april to hand over power to 3000000000 rule but talks between the military council and the opposition coalition have been stopped from more than a week because the 2 sides could not agree on the corporate composition of the sovereign council which effectively will be the presidential council so with talks falling protesters are saying that despite the threats despite the continuous eruption of gunfire battle between protesters and the rapid support forces and the military factions they will continue with their system and till they hear that a civilian independent transitional government is in place. thousands of activists are gathering in cities around brazil against education reforms since the election of president jebel so narrow the country has seen a raft of cuts and freezes to the education budget the government says there are necessary measures to tackle an ongoing financial crisis well done sharma joins us live now from daniel so why is this issue set

heart of the sit in in front of the army headquarters in the days leading up to the removal of ahmed al bashir in april this clinic was at the frontlines of the violence. there were people coming in with all kinds of gunshot wounds head wounds i were leg wins and all of the body there were just randomly shooting people even had sniper when those. doctors themselves were also targeted by al bashir is regime. cannot you know my guess is this video taken on new year's eve shows for doctors being arrested by the military on the street in front of a hospital in hush 2. doctors said that says it's because doctors have historically been at the forefront of all. igniting strikes and protests against the regime. no matter how many times doctors were attacked they stayed in the hospitals this was very annoying for the on bashir regime that's why they tried everything they could against us and arrested us i took part in demonstrations and matches but i never dared say i was a doctor it was dangerous despite the violence dr who doesn't believe retribution is the way forward for sudan and this is the messa

but what we do know for sure right now is that if convicted president onward former president ahmed bashir will be charged will be punished by death ok and what do we know about where this talks between the 2 sides . well the opposition coalition and the military council are still going to continue their rounds of talks they started their 1st one today and it's set to go for 3 days and will end the day after the opposition and the court and the a and the government and the military council came out and said that they have agreed on the structure of the of the transitional government but they yet to agree on how much a presentation the military council will get that was one point of contention they said that the more they're going to talk about how long the transitional period should be the military council has been very in insistent on a 2 year transition period while the opposition coalition wanted a 4 year transitional period that's something they said they're going to talk in the coming days but in the meantime protesters on the ground are not happy with the military council we've we've

headquarters demanding the military council which overthrew the country's 30 year president ahmed and bashir to immediately hand over power to a civilian government the military council has denied it was involved in monday night's violence it's blamed what it called infiltrators for the shooting but the opposition coalition which is in talks with the council to form a transitional government has rejected the military's version of where i live. we want the army to show us evidence that they were responsible because the injured people say that those who shot at them were in uniform and were driving armored vehicles they deny these allegations so the blame goes straight to the military council the military council has to do an investigation and tell us what happened we cannot accept their explanation that they were outsiders sowing discontent. wednesday is set as the deadline for the 2 sides to reach a deal on forming a transitional government but the protesters who are part of the city say those talks must be halted until those responsible for monday's filings are punished. for god that is not
