the ministry of defence have issued a statement saying this was totally unacceptable behaviour.son saying the incident was alarming and unacceptable, and earlier today the prisons minister rory stewart, who was a member of the armed forces, he said this was outrageous behaviour and said soldiers should not be party political. the mod has said it has launched a full investigation. thank you. the south—east asian country of brunei has introduced strict islamic laws to make sodomy and adultery punishable by stoning to death. the move has sparked international condemnation, including from high—profile stars such as george clooney, and the country‘s gay community has expressed shock and fear. 0ur lgbt correspondent ben hunte reports. the sultan of brunei, one of the richest men in the world, ruling over a small south—east asian nation. and it‘s in this country where strict new islamic laws are being introduced, making gay sex between men and adultery offences punishable by stoning to death. translation: anyone visiting the country will attain good memories, and are able to experience

this is happening outside the headquarters of the army, infantry, the ministry of defence, and you have awareness and changing attitudes. the sudanese professionals association called what was supposed to be a press conference. when we arrived it was more like a music festival. the speeches were full of defiance. the crowds, full of passion. and expectation. this movement still has momentum. but it is the military who control sudan. how they will be removed is unclear. let's end with some music from the streets of nairobi. commuters in the kenyan capital have had reason to enjoy rush hour more than usual since a youth—choir called the ‘red fourth chorus' began performing in some of the city's busiest areas to promote art and music. the bbc‘s nairobi team met the choir‘s leader, philip tuju and his choir out singing on the streets. the reason why we decided to perform in the street, we felt in nairobi there are not enough opportunities for people to experience art and we thought we would give back to the community. i am the founder and director of red fourth chorus. we do this mainly on

one thing the military are demanding is control of the interior ministry, they wanted transitional military council to have control of the interior and defence bashir‘s regine created this deep security infrastructure, national intelligence and security services, a host of parallel security organs and whether the military take it upon themselves to uproot that and give it to civilians will be a critical issue. the important thing is that the civilian opposition remains united, it has its programme, the declaration of freedom and change, of course it has had three orfour freedom and change, of course it has had three or four months since the uprising broke out to agree that but now that the military, the important thing is they don't play at various factions of the opposition against each other. the civilian opposition need to remain united because if they don't that could affect the protest movement on the streets. clearly people have taken part in these demonstrations and done this for a number of weeks and months, they will not look at what they have achieved already and presumably will be galvanised to state demonstrating until they get a
