be sworn in and that it will come to power it will largely be supervising because they're the executive council which is made up of a prime minister who will pick his cabinet and all would be from the opposition coalition and it will also be to provide them the legislative assembly which is 2 thirds of proceeds will go to the opposition coalition and so after the period of stopping and starting in the various disagreements it does seem as though there is a certain amount of momentum towards eventually holding democratic elections but what about. those who don't agree those who aren't on board those people that are not so tall impressed with the deal so. well at the moment martin there are a lot of people indeed who were not impressed with the deal but nevertheless it said that they supported the opposition coalition choice for a prime minister that they're looking forward to the site of a transitional period but some of the groups that are not in agreement with the deal especially the armed groups are saying that they want once a transitional government is formed once that suffering council is

this sovereign council and what's remaining next is for the prime minister to be appointed an executive council to be formed and here's what's become of the man known as hekmati the much feared man who's been accused by the protesters of being behind well he certainly leaves the rapid support forces. the forces of course who are accused of carrying out much of the butchery of june the 3rd and not to mention of course what is going on in the conflict in darfur what's happened to him. one might have seen a gentle hand over the double or he may see as he's known is going to be a member member of that sovereign council it will have a head that no deputies all the other 10 members will have equal representation equal rights in that sovereign council but general humidity will be in that council as well which is going to be very tricky because one of the demands of the forces of freedom and change and of protesters over the past 8 months of protests is that they wanted justice and accountability especially after june 3rd so what the council is going to have to see is how that justice and accountabilit

our executive council has to in orderrge boat, 70% to endorse anybody. that means you have to have a grand swell of support. see what happens with the candidates and our members. seen those have candidates talk more about the issues that are important to working people then we have seen in the past. people always say, what do you want in a candidate? we want a candidate who wants what workers need. wants whatdidate workers need, we have a chance of getting it. if they only say the union word when they are in the union candidatese five have supported and have a history of supporting unions over the years, and we will see what case they make on how they intend to change the rules of the economy so they make america work for workers. >> who you think is the best person to beat president trump or is that the labor message. ?hat is your top priority >> it is a workers message and it is a combination of those. if they make the case for changing the rules, they will be able to have success in an election. it is not either/or. it is a combination of both, and th
