but then some of the most important thing that has to get a grip on is the role of those 2 councils what the sovereign council is built to what they could have done so to speak to do that is something that is still under discussion are if we don't change have some of their members currently right now here and so i just about we're trying to make sure that the armed groups are also are backing up this agreement because it says that the 1st 6 months have to be dictated to peace in the country and conflicts in several parts of the country so a lot of things to be discussed lots of issues to be talked about where to find the silence that where they sign the final document which would mark the beginning of the transitional period or i have a morgan they're going stuff in there let's continue the discussion here in the studio because i'm joined here by slidin is a man analyst an expert on sudanese political affairs good to have you with us so thank you for what is the start of a new democratic year officer. not yet as mentioned there's a lot of work to be done remember most of the stickin

for immunity for the members of the sovereign council and the executive council that's something that the opposition coalition does not want because they largely represent the protests on the streets and the protesters are demanding accountability and justice so if they give in to that demand there are concerns amongst the opposition coalition that they will lose their support as industries that something they don't want it's also the issue of who is eligible to be in the executive council and it's up in council so a lot of issues are going to be discussed and while this deal that was signed a few minutes ago in the capital is quite difficult significant there are still a lot of obstacles to overcome before sudan's transition is. just a just a final point to you so so where does this then leave the protest movement because does that is this a deal that the protests will be happy with or will they feel that to some extent they've been sold out because of the military inclusion in the sovereign council. well process that have been very clear in that the mandarin letters lot of success a

he's the 2nd in command almost in this ruling military council but he leads. he's the commander of a very well known paramilitary force so the bit at the center of much controversy over the past few months. yes yes indeed he now he's been saying that his forces have nothing to do with attacking protesters on june 3rd and during because that's a nice thing that he is for accountability he wants to he wants there to be investigations into the acts that have happened so it seems like the statement that we've been hearing from him is that he wants investigations and he wants accountability but we've also been hearing from members of the transition military council but they want immunity now that something that the opposition coalition is saying that they will not accept what they did promise protests which effectively they are representing and this negotiations how is that they will be accountability for the deaths of well tested so if that clause does the people in the streets will not be happy but that is not be happy and be and the coalition is already having a

this scene is outside the legislative council building. protesters there are trying to break into that building they're trying to smash objects through the glass doors there. they are in a standoff with riot police who are on the other side of the glass there. those police warn that they are ready, they will respond if protesters break through the glass and into the building. welcome to viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. >> and i'm rosemary church. all this coming as a planned anti-government march is about to begin. the public outcry against the controversial extradition bill has grown louder and the government has shelved it, but not completely scrapped it, and that is why these protesters are out there in front of this parliamentary building. so let's turn oh our anna coren. she is following all of these developments for us live from hong kong. and anna, as we've been covering this, the protesters keep ramming that reinforced glass door with that steel framed trolley, and they appear to have actually p

it's not that now the legislative council has been occupied at 10 30 in the evening. and these are the live pictures things settling a little bit now but you imagine it won't change much through the night now that they have effectively occupied the seat of power in hong kong we will return to this story a little bit later continuing coverage on al-jazeera of the protests in hong kong. we're leaving hong kong there for now because there is developing news concerning iran the un's nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. the international atomic energy agency says iran has stockpiled more enrich uranium than is allowed under the 2015 nuclear deal i eat a inspector's reported back from the islamic republic after the claims teheran has accused european powers of not doing enough to help save the nuclear deal after the u.s. withdrew from nato and subsequently placed sanctions. we'll have a little look before we speak to anyone about this that they dispute around the 2050 nuclear deal. donald trump pulled out of the agreement last year and imposed tough new sanctions 3 months later in

the legislative council. protesters a re chamber of the legislative council. the protesters are demanding the withdrawal of a controversial bill that would allow suspects to be extradited to the chinese mainland, it's something they've been protesting about in their hundreds of thousands for weeks now. and today those demonstrations reached a new height, really, when the demonstrators went inside the council chamber. this is the scene live now inside that chamber. you can see scenes of chaos. the protesters in their yellow helmets, lots of pushing and shoving there. these are the dramatic live shots from inside the legislative council chamber. we saw those riot police. they are they are. they are running now and they look like they are going to confront the protesters once again. we saw them confront them earlier, as i mentioned, with pepper spray and tear gas. with batons as well. and this is all in the end, a protest about whether hong kong, the former british colony, will continue to enjoy the freedoms it

around the clock this is live from london also coming up 10 security council members issue a petition of protest to force the u.n. into action on syria. boris johnson plays a game of chicken with the e.u. saying it's must compromise to stop but no deal breaker. and one of the biggest data breaches in banking history more than 100000000 people have their information stolen as capital one is hacked. security forces in sudan have fired live ammunition intake of protesters as mass rallies continue across the country. several hospitals in the city of say they've been treating people with bullet wounds demonstrators are angry over the killing of 5 students including 4 schoolchildren at a rally on monday protest leaders have canceled planned talks with the country's ruling military council because of the unrest. well the growing anger has forced the head of the military jointed to respond saying the killing of peaceful students is a crime that requires immediate accountability opposition groups are demanding an investigation into monday's killing. i want what happened in elevators the straw

the council can do it.ouncil leader would turn around and say we are being ripped off because it is up to them with their councillors to go through the procedure is to make sure we get the best value for residents. that is not necessarily about course, it is about providing the best service as well and that is the nature that councils operate under. any council saying they are being ripped off, they are not using their services to they are not using their services to the best ability. you say you can do this in source. what i don't understand is why it is not being done. is it costing too much or are councils not up to the job in terms of quality? it is a mixed economy. sometimes you have things you want to have in—house, sometimes it is outsourced. it is about having the ability to provide both in—house and outsourcing as well. but it is up to individual councils to determine what is the best for their residents. most people will be listening to this and saying this all comes down to getting value for mone

the ruling transitional military council i believe that we might have reestablish that connection let's try going back to it these revolutions. that we had tried. a league solution to the martyrs 100 of the sudanese revolution and those sacrifices their blood for the sake of the country a big salute to those who work hard to have a lot of illusion success like that and i'm sure the revolution will be successful also i'd like to think those in. what other come true is and then in a special thank. you for supporting what's going on in sudan this agreement. can be corned and end to the current situation. but. the sudanese people will continue the mission of the evolution this agreement is only the 1st step this doesn't mean that the revolution is completely successful but it means that other steps will follow as is quite clear in this agreement the 1st 6 months will be are located to bring peace in sudan and put an end to all the guns and as you all know. the 6 months which will be allocated to bring peace in the country and to deal with it is an order to put an end to what is going on in

council payers —— council tax payers money.house the new normal and they are not saying to councils, you absolutely cannot outsource under a labour government. strikingly, they are saying that. but they are saying ten questions, and i will spare you all ten of them, but ten questions that councils must ask themselves before they chose outsourcers, for among them, outsourcers would be subject to the freedom of information act... they would have to offer conditions on wages, hours of works and terms and conditions no less favou ra ble of works and terms and conditions no less favourable than would be offered by the council... they would limit the contractual period is offered to an outsourcer to the terms of the local democratic cycle. in other words, they are closing any difference that would exist between the two, it would appear, and therefore incentivising councils to do it themselves. councils can do it themselves, if they feel inclined. yes, and the criticism made, and one conservative leader of a big council, oxfordshire c

you put the ball in the course of the security council but 10 members of that security council of now being to see the secretary general you were there at the meeting saying actually it's you that should take action you should set up an inquiry into these bombings are you now going to set up such an inquiry well yes members of the council have been to see the secretary general earlier today and raised issues with him in the sector generally thinking about the request that was made and he will in due course decide how best to address the request and hannah. ordinary syrians are angry at what they see as passing the buck a doctor who ran a hospital in aleppo is now featured in a documentary about the war he's been in new york to express his outrage that the crimes he witnessed 3 years ago and now being repeated he has this message for the international community i think it is the last chance for them to do the right thing to stand with the people like in this situation that it's not like the bad guys and the good guys and who do we stand with just like there are children mothers. people

yes, and the criticism made, and one conservative leader of a big council, oxfordshire county councilwill decide, and some we will take in—house and some we will outsource, depending upon what we think is best. if they don't like it, they can get rid of us. that is the argument coming back from the conservative, both locally and nationally. from the labour perspective, they want to tilt the dialogue, ideologically they are more comfortable with the public sector providing the services. —— tilt the dial. the challenge for local councils, even those who think this might be a reasonable idea, should labour be in government, is logistically, can they get together the expertise and the staff, to take on a service that they might not have directly provided for a generation. the other issue is, and this is such a huge conundrum, academy schools, have control over their own budget, in the past those called had to buy services in from local education authorities, not like that these days. quite, in the changes there have been to the public sector and how the public sector is managed, over the

the transitional military council just appointed as chief of staff in april what happened. well so i mean he's not the only one who's the rest of them and if there was a point to as you said as to. president obama and bashir in the 11th of april he was appointed by the military council and what the reports we're getting from several minutes resources is that there was a coup attempt this morning against the military council along he was also arrested along with the head of the armored division and the head of the popular defense force that's a defense farms a force that was established by a former president almost a shoot to disband the former ruling party formerly for its official as well have been arrested the military council is yet to come out with an official statement explaining why these people were arrested what is happening but what we do understand from judicial sources and military sources is that they are currently being investigated for trying to organize a coup attempt and let's not forget that this is not going to be the 1st time the military council since ta

or a person employed by the council or a person employed by the council or a person employed by a company, but whether the bins are emptied on time. the challenge for labour is convincing people this is a change behind the will lead to an improvement that people will notice. also, a lot more people would suddenly once again become public sector workers and the cost of employing people properly with sick pay, holiday pay and pensions is not inconsiderable, is it? quite. labour's argument is we would have a greater accountability because there would be a direct link between your elected councillor and the service that the council is providing, that the councillors are overseeing. there is that argument they would make. it comes back to the question that some will ask, which is can it be more efficient than providing by the private sector? also we saw an hour or so ago with the leader of 0xfordshire county council talking to bbc news, a conservative, and he said you should have a mixed economy. some things are better done ina economy. some things are better done in a particular area by the l

and thus you the transitional military council. the civilian opposition the civilian opposition the alliance for freedom and change was in a no win position they either have to take the agreement as presented by the african union and the opium or the transitional military council is going to say they won't negotiate we're withdrawing the waves can i interrupt you there to ask you why you think the opposition want to end a position of power given that they have the so many hundreds of thousands of people who've been out on the streets rushing for them follow the 6 months now. well that's a key question and there are some details we still have yet to hear about for example the transitional. sovereign council as it's called will be led by the military for the 1st 21 months since you mention but what is the role of the chair or president whatever fishel title this person has it will be a civilian majority $8.00 to $7.00 civilian to military but what if there is a decision taken in which the majority votes in ways that offend the milita

council president did russia recently this is the money flight to judge your unjustified. this is professionalism that may be the case but georgia's leaders were reluctant to openly attack russia at this event that parliament's head of european integration was sent out to face questions denying claims by protesters the georgia's government had become too lenient towards russia at the plaza saying nothing to prove the russian want to say it's a. total loss that's why i say. that it doesn't actually require any farther with russia or is really concerned about your presence here with this conference and you have georgia very far western or the truth we would like to find ourselves eventually we think the europeans are in one of the debates parliamentary leader spoke of russia as a whole keep buying force or join your russian me you know higher up to 20 percent of our territories it means permanent threaten the more security it means severe violation of human rights of people who are living in occupied territories came loose signing of financial agreements between georgia and

colonial era british flag has been unfurled in the legislative council of hong kong and still with us as we look at these pictures as we think about these amazing images how do you think it'll be going down in beijing. are they looking at this and i imagine they'll be getting quite worried worried. full hong kong they want this to be appalled so china on one system ultimately there is this period between 9097 to 50 years when hong kong was essentially given government by beijing but that well it's anybody's guess and the idea that most people have is that beijing would like to take more direct control over the race so in parts people in beijing the leaders there will be worried that that jeopardizes that integration into china broadly but of course they'll be very concerned as well that some of these images do make that people in mainland china. now that other people in mainland china might start trying to emulate this cookie i don't want to go too far hong kong is a very very different place to mainland china and people here have had democracy or a token democracy since the end of br

been signs that there are disagreements within the military council the military council itself as it has boarded a number of internal coup attempts from other officers there is a division. between them perhaps it could result in another sit in possibly and. in front of the presidential palace that's what the opposition was calling for yesterday that the march go goes directly in the area in front of the presidential palace and it could always it could always turn violent although i will say that the violence yesterday and the loss of life of course and the loss of life is precious was much less than expected and the protesters have committed themselves to a peaceful movement and so far they've stood by that i thank you very much for filling us in the w's. now millions of people took part in l. g.b.t. celebrations in cities around the world at the weekend in turkey police broke up a gathering of activists in the largest city istanbul dashing hopes that a recent political change there would bring an end to a ban on gay pride barges demonstrators insisted they would not be silenced. the

little govern for about 3 years while elections are organized leadership of this council will switch between apparently the military and civilians. is the founder and president of the sudan policy forum joins me here in studio it seems like we haven't really moved very far from july the 3rd in terms of we've been waiting for this agreement waiting for the scream and it hasn't turned up why. they are trying in the absence of trust between the f.f.c. and the t.m.c. there are trying to change politics agreement transform a political agreement into a contractual agreement which is very difficult because any time you do that you run the risk of making it to move to loose. or making it too early to accommodate for any changes so it seems to me that jane doing this document into a contractual agreement arises from the fact that there is a lack of trust between the p.m.c. and the f.c.c. if that is the case then with a lack of trust comes disagreement let's just focus on the disagreements here about the area of disagreement there are 3 major areas of these agreements he had. f.f.c. the forces

by rebel soldiers the military's head of security says they have been rounded up just days ago the council agreed to a power sharing deal with pro-democracy activists also coming up. syrian refugees in lebanon are being forced to demolish their own homes that as authorities declare a number of prefacing camps illegal so where do they go from paris. and berlin unveils the latest treasure on its world famous museum island after 2 decades of planning in building a new extension opens its doors a water logged on clothes some complications and expensive challenge. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for joining us sudan's military council says it has put down a 2 by members of the military and intelligence services this comes just days after the council made a power sharing agreement was pro-democracy activists senior general jamal omar abraham says rebel soldiers had been rounded up and that the coup was an attempt to quote hinder the transition to democracy so then has seen mass protests and bloody crackdowns on them by the military since the toppling of former dictator omar al bashir earlier thi

secretary general it followed a meeting of the security council where again the security council since things have intensified in it since april has heard that things are still continuing to get worse the 7th security council meeting in that period of time the un's humanitarian coordinator mark lowcock told the security council that they need to look at themselves and they should take action i have to say that those that carried out the demarche 2 thirds of the security council 10 ambassadors believe the un secretary general himself and mr local who was present at this meeting need to do more they believe it's possible for the u.n. to set up an inquiry and discover who is bombing hospitals immediately after that demarche that meeting in the secretary of office i spoke to mr local you put the ball in the court of the security council but 10 members of that security council of now being to see the secretary general you were there at the meeting saying actually it's you that should take action you should set up an inquiry into these bombings are you now going to set up such an inquiry wel

and vandalism by protesters who stormed into the legislative council building. over a period of time so this is something that we should seriously come down because nothing is more important than the rule of law in hong kong so i hope community. will agree with us that with these violent acts that we have seen it is right for us to condemn it. as president donald trump says iran is playing with fire the united nations nuclear watchdog confirmed the terror on a stockpiling more enriched uranium than is allowed under the 2015 nuclear deal washington warned it will never allow iran to develop nuclear weapons and that it will continue its maximum pressure campaign until terror on changes course. who the rebels in yemen say they have launched another attack on at court in saudi arabia 9 people were injured when airport in the syrian was targeted not far from saudi arabia's border with yemen humans who the rebels have launched repeated air strikes on saudi arabia which is not a coalition against the group for almost 4 years. iraq's prime minister. has ordered the coun

the military council justified his actions and a special t.v. address. when i came on that man with troops mission is to protect protesters but we don't trust the vandals. in front of the youth center and the medical headquarters there are snipers shooting at people they have hit 3 members of the rocket support force. about 5 or 6 civilians that's why we were upset and trying to get things under control but i think that i could look at sunday's demonstrations the 30th anniversary of the coup that brought president omar al bashir to power in 1909. to talk about the last democratically elected government here the demonstrators have to continue their protests until saddam has a civilian leadership again. for more now i'm joined here in the studio by d.w. reporter jane good to see you but you were in sudan in made during mass protests there and shortly after the there was a bloody crackdown dozens of people killed apparently now we've just seen another demonstration more people killed what are your contacts on the ground there telling you yesterday it was a

ruling generals have breached the power sharing agreement under the deal a joint military civilian council will build the country for the next 3 years. not now sudan has been shaken by protests since the ousting of longtime president arm of al bashir in april opposition leaders say the new deal is a victory for their movement. celebrations in the capital hard to match as a political standoff deescalate in a gesture of peace sudan's ruling military freed more than $200.00 rebel fighters who are part of the country's opposition a step towards reconciliation one rebel leader praised their release. in the images that it shows clearly that the army and the armed forces are our partners and not our enemy. and one short cooperation and understanding we will meet the demands of the sudanese people at the service so that those demands are 1st civilian rule it's been the heart of the conflict which began after the military ousted longtime leader omar al bashir activists called for a transition to a civilian government an impasse ensued and then bloodshed in june security forces opened fire on a prot

the members of the executive council but what the role of these 2 councils will be is going to be defined in that constitutional declaration which is yet to be signed let's bring in one lead madiba he's the founder and president of sudan policy forum and joins us live here in the studio so what do you make of this deal signed today. and how important is it in terms of sudan's path to democracy thank you i i think it is quite an achievement you know after a few months few months of. transition in military council trying to avoid me is striking any deal now would be the feel very much obligated at least politically to me. a concession. and i question the extent to which they have given in too much to the demands of the forces of freedom and team because even though the forces of freedom and king are trying to appease the masses by saying that there is no immunity for or whoever took part in. the massacre of june fair. no one is bringing. attention to the at least 302300000 individuals killed in that for so the it is a very very good agreement i think they both wanted to reach for an agreeme

not only part of the transitional military council but i expect him to be part of the sovereign council grass even chair of the sovereign council in my own view there's no way with the military still defacto in control that the community thing approaching an independent investigation of the massacres of june 3rd and the violence preceding and following june. commander how messy and his records were horses are clearly the cause we have ample amounts of still kluge video footage personal testimonies we know who's responsible and the fact that the alliance for freedom and change will say that they believe that it's possible to conduct an independent investigation is going to hurt their credibility i think as more and more details of this agreement spread throughout syria and mr reeves one of the things they said is that various neighboring countries the leaders are going to act as guarantors of any agreement do you think again from what we know so far that the other neighboring countries you know including ethiopia the prime minister who brokered the the deal have they put enough pressure

my final item for today is awareness items for the council. that you may want to consider for a future public meeting. the first is the mobility permit harmonization process that is being led by mta. that is looking to make sure we are strategically looking at how we are permitting devices on our public right-of-way especially mobility scooters. there will be more coming forward about that, but the mta has asked the council to participate and provide feedback in this process. for your information we will be following up about that. another item that i wanted to announce today, this past friday, july 12, the san francisco hazards and climb resilience plan workshop for community leaders who work for community-based organizations was held on friday july 122 really start to look at how our long long-term hazards and resiliency plan is addressing the needs of many populations including people with disabilities. i just wanted to highlight that one of the items of concern that was addressed, in that meeting, was the public safety power plant that is

obviously you just go ahead yeah i was that one should buy tear gas side of the legislative council 2 days ago i was saying none of the violence exist during the action to storm into that building of course people might have different understanding on the differing mission of phallus but the fact is none of the staff of the largest city have come so and police force have been physically assaulted by a protester and the reason for protesters that already did have been there is because bill you might be reactivated but again in the legislature at the same time i hope people could aware that hong kong people more than 70 percent of them urged the government to terminate it immediately but governments do acknowledge their worst and the legislative council of hong kong now for all of the lawmakers to let i say let me share this with you nixie and joshua this is from donkey kong on twitter and she says opinions among pro-democracy people might be divided and you can hear that between our 2 guests here as some insist on peaceful actions but many including myself never blame the protesters bu

transitional council.is their responsibility to reform security forces. therefore, i think there is some confidence on the part of the population that in the event that this process does not go according to their demand, that they have the right to go out and protest. people do want some reckoning. in terms of some of the abuses and violence that has been propagated by the warmer regime. -- former regime. you do need some sort of principled compromise. reporter: anger amongst the demonstrators is high as is the demand for justice. some demand a halt in negotiations and as protesters continue to be met with violence , uncertainty over sudan's future continues. jazeera, ethiopia. anchor: the sudanese protester has beeeen rallying and condemnd the killing of protesters.s. protestswere so many that took place today in the streets of khartoum and other cities. the demand that they were asking for is to see what happens, and delivering those who committed this massacre for justice. i do not actually see the poin

has proved its ability to take action just think that's a fair assessment the european council after 3 days of negotiating has proven its ability to act. i mean that's the way to put a way to put it and we know that angle americal always stays very honorable that she never shows triumph and that of course this is a political triumph or a she in the end managed to sort of put germany into the top job and. a close ally of off for herself so yes she is the cat that got the cream in a way but of course she sort of points to the council and says yes it's all my colleagues it's the european leaders who have made this possible and to in the end sort of manage to agree i mean better than having not agreed because some observers here fear that this might drag on for days and days and that would have been a spectacle that they wouldn't really want to show for the rest of the world and barbara just briefly tell us about one of the other big nominees that we saw christine legarde from the i.m.f. being nominated for the post of the head of the european central bank how significant is that. that i
