the man but the protesters are asking not only for civilian government but also asking for a presidential council at this edition of council not a military council a civilian presidential council with majority civilians but with a limited military representation that's one of the key demands and the list of those demands have has finally been submitted in a paper that includes what looks like a road map that the military council said it is expecting from the protesters the various components of the opposition and the protesters it has been submitted this afternoon and we are waiting for the military council to comment on them no comment has been mentioned in the briefing that i have just talked about no comment on those the months particularly is too early to for the military council to study the points that have made summited and then the two major points as i said is the creation of a civilian presidential council with majority civilians from the protesters side and a limited representation from the military side and a government a cabinet that is basically made of technocrats. thank you very m

of the opposition parties says what he wants to see now is the setting up of some sort of presidential council do you think that's likely how would that happen. yeah i think that disturbs the school nature of the demonstration has that as a tool of negotiation is one think not cries of ducks are tree artists you know going to is another thing. he per present them tional nature adapt their deal tree on the regime has been dogging that up for the past twenty years many have to your best the something else in here obviously does a schimmel which is still in place that numbers of those who cheered this back to the creator declare victory ration of the statement of the after army chief i'm not willing. to do to lose control of their over to transition so i believe debts now what. is going to be looked at very low prices least the will of the army and he is the army going to step forward and say well we i have been doing real people the people who have power in their hands and who are we are the one who are going to negotiate a transition or are they going to step or the back and speak no we will ju

a civilian presidential council instead of just a military council they want the majority of members in the presidential council to be civilians from the protest aside from the opposition side and only limited the presentation they are for the military but even inside those parties or so there are differences because. the islamist leaning parties those that have been closest to the model bashir are now saying they want the military council to state and that's understood to be because they are afraid of uprooting them and they are afraid of harsh measures if there is no one there for them and that coincides with accusations from among the protesters that actually the islamists are still ruling sudan the old regime the deep state is still holding so that and is protecting. components and remnants of that energy so that it's a very very difficult situation for both parties and it is a very long road ahead today they have organized friday prayer inside the venue itself thousands attended that prayer and also we have been there and we have seen how they are preparing to even fast

this is just the names of people who should be a part of this civilian transition presidential council and that to me is a kind of confrontation with the military council because they have not the two sides have not agreed on this list tonight. with the latest in khartoum thank you. egyptians have started voting in a three day referendum on constitutional amendments which could allow president sisi to stay in power until twenty thirty if approved that the current term would be extended by two years and he could stand for another six year mandate after that the changes would also allow him to appoint top judges and give the powerful military even more control and it would bring back the upper house of parliament to the senate with a third of its members appointed by the president. has more. president i'll deliver to his sisi was sworn in last year after winning his second term in office the vote was marred by claims of irregularities a crackdown on activists and potential challengers a few months earlier sisi had said he would not seek a third. but the egyptian leader seems to have chan

government and they don't want a military council to going to lead this transition they want a presidential council with the military as a side from several sides and not leading this this so this council so there is a lack of trust and yet the talks between the protesters in the military council continuing who would you say has the upper hand right now i would say if the broadest continue in the magnitude and the strength that we have been seeing in the last. week in seven days then the protest movement has the upper hand they will say in the streets they will continue their sit in front of the mother three headquarters and cattlemen also in other countries we also have to. remember that there are many other parts of sudan they are taking part in this. uprising so i think there is a kind of a. movement and the protesters. you know step up the pressure. they have i think the upper hand now. people now. thank you so much. but ok let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world right now new protests have been held in serbia against the government of president alexander the

the presidential council will appoint a government's. and then we go for. the presidential election but again we insist people have the power and they have all the other the the the tools to make that decision not the actual government nor the army and so you've outlined the kind of transition you would like to see him and as it stands the president's resignation parts of the cather been solid the chairman of the upper house of parliament in charge of caretaker president for ninety days until elections are held just explain to us why that is unacceptable to you is it the ninety day period or is that you just do not believe that you would get fair elections and still are i guess part of the current system in power. well and as as we believe in research and movements we really believe that's the it is not going to talk about interest constitution anymore for many reasons the first reason is that's the constitution has been. like that i'm being probably the president himself when he counseled the election. on the eleventh of large the second reason that the in

position and leave that to the civilians or whether they should stay in that suffered a presidential council as military overseeing a government of civilians we need clarification everybody here and it's got a question about this including protesters themselves understanding from reports we've got today is that tomorrow the protesters will not only announce names for a civilian cabinet but also names and ideas and plans for a sovereign civilian council to run instead of a military council and they allow only for a limited representation from the military side that means discussions are not only and divisions are not only among the opposition and the parties and the protesters on the one hand about how to create a government and how to and what names to announce but also very very difficult negotiation is expected to head before the military council seats power completely whether it will cede it or not it's a big question absolutely and will be interesting to see how things develop tomorrow sunday for the moment mohamed with the latest from khartoum mohamed thank you. well still to come in th

so they won the presidential council to be made up of independent members that would oversee the executive council made up of technocrats according to statement that was put out by the declaration but other parties are saying that they're there to protect the revolution they want a one year transitional period and that the council should not basically argue with the military about its role because right now one of the main issues between the parties and the council is how that transitional government will be run the military council is saying that it wants to be the one supervising that government while most of the political parties are are saying that they want an independent government now it seems like there's a division between not just the military council and the political parties but amongst the political parties themselves so they're not any closer to forming a transitional government sammy and the african union has given them fifteen days which ends by the end of the month but we've seen people and we've been talking to people over the past few days and more than an
