office. after nearly 30 years and power, what 4 months later and after accusations of excessive use of force against protesters, the military agreed to form a civilian lead, transitional government. the new cabinet took office under prime minister abdullah ham dock as part of a 3 year power sharing agreement. let's get more now from mohammed alum enough men . he's a journalist based in cartoon mohammed how it people there in cartoon viewing this military action. i mean, it looks like a qu, it sounds like a qu, so is this a co yes, i think this school it's, it is an additional actually because the military wanted a good news and i'm going to use that one to use the power one to the under pressure that did come in to, to get the nation. so this is we, so we saw over the, over the bus 2 weeks that the military has mobilize the room and usually people and get them to come in front of the potential balance. actually to say that the different for us, that again is the, the, the, the government of the prime minister. but i just received from some sources that the minister himself, in his how was detention. and his i was, that is now is, and that is used from the military itself to come out to this with

others in vietnam, and always that combat experience shaded the advice he gave to presidents, to cabinet officers, to cap weinberger, all that jeremy and others have discussed was shaped by his experience as an american soldier, so we've lost a great military leader, a true north to so many of us, and also we've lost someone of humor and grace and kindness. just look at the photographs you're showing and look at the picture on his face. that's the colin powell i knew and love. >> what will you remember most about him? what was it like to interface with him? >> it was this remarkable combination of humility, which we've all just talked about, but his pragmatism, his ability to go right to the heart of an issue. you know, as a mid grade kind of young irsauvg he would buy old beat up volvos and repair them, put new engines in them. as jeremy was saying he was someone who could work with his hands as well as his mind. that combination of pragmatism and also the ability to be kind and thoughtful to others, it's so rare in washington. you know where we say in washington if you want a friend, get a dog.

stephen barclay, the cabinet office minister and george eustice, the environment secretary, had beenut she said she struggled to get a meeting with the home secretary, priti patel, but issues surrounding visas because we understand there are some of them government who are pushing for some kind of relaxation of the english language requirement for visas to try and get more foreign workers to come over to help in the pig industry and addressed some of those staff shortages. the problem with this proposed solution is that it is politically quite difficult for the prime minister, especially after he has just prime minister, especially after he hasjust come prime minister, especially after he has just come out of a conservative party conference where his big message was wanting business to move away from a reliance on cheaper foreign labour to what he described as a high skilled, high wage economy. interestingly, as you touched on, that very approach is something that has been criticised just today by some bosses from energy intensive industries, these are industries like the steel indus

joint select committees�* report into the covid response, and it cites an interview in which cabinet officeter steve barclay refused 20 times to apologise for pandemic mistakes. the telegraph says the eu is to offer a new brexit deal on northern ireland trade, making concessions over checks on british goods. that story is also the lead in the guardian, which reports that the eu is offering an "olive branch" despite french concerns about the move. the i newspaper splashes on congestion at felixstowe, saying supply chain issues have caused a build—up of containers, threatening christmas deliveries. there's a striking picture of that situation on the ft front page, showing shipping containers piled high. but the ft�*s lead is about the uk economy's recovery from the pandemic. the imf is warning it will be harder hit than other g7 nations. the times also leads with the problems at felixstowe, saying ships are being turned away. there's a warning of possible gaps on the shelves at christmas, given the number of toys usually imported through the port. the express also goes for the northern irelan

from office of to billy 30 years in power. 4 months later, after accusations of use of violence against protest, as the military agreed to form a civilian lead transitional government. the new cabinet took office in september on the prime minister, abdullah hum dog as part of a 3 year power sharing agreement that says speak to work. generally, i met a sudanese activist who joins us live from washington, dc. good savvy with us, what's your reaction to what's happened incidentally? thank you so much for having me on the program. you know, it really began last night for us in the diaspora. we were watching the news. we were actually speaking with members of our family. i was talking with a cousin last night who was absolutely horrified at the sounds that she was hearing . she lives very close to the main stretch of highway that same cartoon crying on the phone and asking how this could happen, how they could be abandoned in such a way were heart broken or utterly devastated. you know, we, we were incredibly impressed and enthralled with protesters whenever they stood together against the tyrannical regime, the overthrew that ran the country for 30 years and they were a will to band to

office . he had been the president for nearly 30 years and 4 months later, after accusations of using violence against protest is the military agreed to form this civilian lead transitional government. and your cabinet took office in september under prime minister conduct. this was a 3 here power sharing agreements well in place to introduce a boat mendoza, who is the director of southern africa, political economy series trust and has also worked with the now detained sudanese prime minister abdullah hancock. he's with us from her aryans and bob, which is i thank you for your time. so what have you made of the events today? the military is trying to say that it had a duty that it had to do this. i wonder if i've just taken the for them easier option yeah, that's proverbial is rich. when comes the military, best, especially in a country like you done with it, becomes, is generalized over the tickets are what are my main concern is the safety of those were under house arrest, including my, my brother and colleague are humble or concerned about their safety and the hoping that such cost as outages it is being held in safeguarding via security done elsewhere here in the region here. what's the position

office. after nearly 30 years in power, but 4 months later and after accusations of excessive violence against protest as the military agreed to form a civilian lead transitional government, the new cabinet took office in september on the prime minister dela hummed up as part of a 3 year power sharing agreement, let's bring in hollywood care. she's a managing partner at inside strategy partners, a public affairs, and based in seattle. and they specialize in government relations to join us on the phone now from saddam's capital cost to them. so this is the fast moving story. what are you hearing now about these arrests by the military? possibly including the prime minister della ham dock. so what's, what's happening in the capital at the moment told? well, it's very difficult to ascertain the specifics because there is a total shut down, not just of the internet, but also signal that it's very difficult to get even estimate text messages across . obviously that has deliberately seen this before in after the massacre. june of 2019, which was a sort of a very low points, particularly for the military which has based massive accusations of violence, particularly on that day. and so we're sor

while the new cabinet took office in september to the prime minister of della hum, dock, as part of a 3 year power sharing deal that's bringing back hollowed claire. she's a managing partner. insight strategy partners. the public affairs for i'm based in seattle. they specialize in government relations, actually join us on the phone from sedans, capital car, to him, full, good job you back. so since we last spoke to you 100, what are you hearing now about these arrests by the military, including one report that the prime minister bellingham doc is under house arrest? what's actually happening in the capital now? and it's very difficult to, to ascertain what exactly is happening of the case such as the room and the boundary. so trying to confirm everything that we're hearing, but so far i think what's really important is that the one of the key people in the southern council for the man said also the spoke of the southern council. he has been very vocal and his criticism of the military, he's been very demon and has a session of civilian med room. and so it's, it's quite clear that sor

the new cabinet took office in september under prime minister of dela hm, doc, as part of a 3 year power sharing agreement. it now appears that his time as leader of that government has come to an end or is very much under threat. so let's get a little reaction. hollard fair, who we spoke to earlier insights strategy partners, which is a public affairs firm in seattle, but one which specializes in government relations. speaking to us from catherine pollute said, these latest developments really, to have all the hallmarks of a full military coup. at the closing of the bridge is the and the closing down of telecom added to complete an internet blackout. you can't make phone calls, you can send text estimates messages quite clearly the rest of key government figures including members of the sovereign council and also the minister for cabinets. if i had it on my to indicate very much it. this is a qu, in any case, any contravention of the constitutional declaration of the constitutional document of 2019, and pushed by the military to try and maneuver. second, to william active is considered

the protest, as the military agreed to form this civilian lead transitional government, a new cabinet took office in september under prime minister hum duck. he's now been arrested a part of that 3 year power sharing agreement, which we talked about. man of the 2nd point i made in that graphic there was about omnibus sheer. does he still loom, how much does he still loom over sedan and his supporters look. i have lots of friends in sudan and i talked to them on a private basis, you know, very wide margin of opinion like you know, the opposed opinion about him on the sheets. port people are polarized about him. some say some swear by god. if omar bashir now returns apollo, people will, will welcome him because this, you know, the, what happened to the sudan, a pound and so on. and the deterioration of the economy that they said this tuition was better during the time from our bishop. but, but those who participated in of in his overthrow is quite the opposite. he said, even the devil, we prefer the devil to los than our mother. she saw he's a very polarizing figure, but he's not in power. there ar

granatt, he was the first head of the civil contingencies secretariat, which was set up within the cabinet office responsible for emergency planning in the uk. thank you very much for being with us. reading this report, it seems to me that we had scientists operating in one bubble, civil servants in another, politicians, and there's — and someone always thought that another part of the system was making the decision or dealing with it. is that the conclusion you've come to? that's certainly one of the big problems. one of the things the report highlights is the fact data wasn't being shared between agencies, including three departments of state and scientific expertise. the need to co—ordinate thatis expertise. the need to co—ordinate that is always absolutely primary in any crisis when the thing you have to get hold of it is the facts very quickly. you can't make effective decisions without the facts. you may have to make some informed guesses but you need information to do it. so does that suggest, when we are looking at how to improve the way government functions, that there needs to be a depa
