join the transitional governments and on thursday the military of course tough words or more are bashar ending thirty years of his rule demonstrations though remain in the streets of khartoum and are. calling for an immediate transition to civilian governments. we do not call for the removal of demonstrators by force in fact the reason we intervened in the first place was because force was used by the asad regime but our call to everyone who is organizing the protests to bring life back to normalcy still stands having said that if we find people with weapons of course we have to bear the responsibility as guarantors of the state we can't allow that to take place in order to protect the protesters outside the army headquarters or anywhere in the land of sudan as long as the protesters are allowed to demonstrate we bear the responsibility of protecting them and won't allow any third party to do so. or have the morgan has more from khartoum. after the meeting between the political parties and the military council the military council said that it was optimistic but look at what some politi

a broader context for you joining us live here in the studio is senior political analyst marwan bashar it seems kind of counter-intuitive that the americans as we're being told george cushions just about to put up a peace plan kind of half being hooked by some people to the israeli election results that the americans aren't having back channel talks with the palestinians absolutely this is but so paradoxical and i agree with your hundred percent why. i think there's a number of reasons but primarily i think the main reason is that what president trump thinks of as a peace is a peace between him and prime minister netanyahu they reckon that if america and israel are i've a formal offer sort then that would be the formula to be imposed on the palestinians and the arabs it's not only the palestinians out in the dark the arabs are also in the dark or what exactly are the americans thinking about and so in so many ways now that trump and then you know agreed. present the american president think this is a victory for the united states and for peace because this is

line that could not be crossed the united states had promised to intervene if there was proof that bashar assad was using chemical weapons the following day the u.s. president spoke to the press ibrahim was convinced that the course of the war would change what we now have is evidence that chemical weapons have been used inside of syria but we don't know. how they were used when they were used who used them we don't have a chain of. custody that establishes what exactly happened. and i back in the one night or so i feel that a bit just from a metal mean keefe. but they'd been in job either less in the. name and didn't. make you feel. in the short list for the surface or. brahim was determined to reconstruct the whole incident piece by piece he went to the house of many. the only victim killed during the attack. here is that all. this is the old roach story just this gate from the sky and many of us here and here duff there also was in the journal just around here so there is the burden it's really well known about muffin and. if the shift in looking over there will work in any order a new

bashar al assad's crimes were being pushed into the background. this happened in spite of the thousands of civilians who were killed by his forces in july twenty fourth two months after the russian veto the syrian opposition attempted to resurrect caesar still seeing. this time they went to the u.s. congress which opposed the military intervention in syria even after the chemical attacks and. a group of republican supported us intervention. evan mcmullan a member of the commission of foreign affairs arranged for caesar the photographer to be interviewed in front of members of congress. we knew that most people in the united states didn't know of us its mass atrocities and the idea was that if americans understood more what exactly atsic was doing if they really understood they would have much more sympathy and they would expect i believe our leaders to do more and especially the president who is our commander in chief and who leads our foreign policy to do more to act to stop assad's. trustees. caesar was in hiding afraid of being captured by the

russian veto and the un is powerless to confront one of its own members syria is a sovereign state and bashar assad is the sitting president in the short term there seems to be little hope for an international criminal case other ways need to be found. the question is how can you have justice and when you have it at the national and so a lot of countries have what's called universal jurisdiction they can prosecute everybody anybody who commits torture anywhere in the world whether it's their citizen or their who is either the perpetrator or the victim sesh it cannot get in the night there with all false l.u.v. is the ick the motivation to best out of the cream and again. it was. september twenty fifth teen the russians officially joined the war in syria with the stated aim of destroying geisel. there's a massive surge in aerial bombing. abdul qadeer is in gaza into a number that if you've been in the head you might or see damage in the top five but they are a little. thought than what the daily believe the thirty and then he. can face the death. and then forgotten what it was seeing him and t
