clash at this time with the transitional military council and the security forces of the time when their progress and what they're calling clear progress particularly on agreeing on what structure the transitional joint council will take so i mean which mix. i mean which makes their claims that there are outside forces trying to cut all the peace talks. some sort of possibility but again anything is possible tension has been building the protesters have been come outside the military headquarters for almost 5 weeks now and at the center and that's the point they were fast losing hope. but they always maintained that peace and have been trying to be us organized as possible while the protesters have been telling us is this clash has happened is it's not them but the military has also been another explanation for the whole thing saying that there are people who have been getting out of the square and going closer to the presidential palace which is now the city of the transitional military council mama just a final thought from you away from those clashes that we've seen on the streets wha

protests that allow that or not we've already we've already heard from the head of the of the transitional council saying that of the transitional military council think that they will not allow any different testers to provoke the military and the rapid support forces so we're going to have to wait and see when they come to move those barricades how the protesters would react and if they would allow their barricades to be removed after being there for more than 6 weeks all right so here morgan there in the sudanese capital khartoum he brought thank you for that let's bring in jill she's a sudanese american journalist and activist and joins us via skype from the u.s. state of pennsylvania journalists talk 1st about the latest violence on the streets of the capital that's prompted both the military and the opposition leaders to turn pretty break of talks who do you think is behind these outbreaks of violence over the last few days because this is clearly a huge problem for the talks going forward. i think it's very clear daryn that the rapid support forces are behind this with the help of the trans

the protest abroad to the embassies of some countries they perceive to be supporting the transitional military council on probably the reason why there's been so much intransigence in the past days from the transitional military council who've been ceding lots of power and giving and lots of concessions to the protesters this country's protesters say ah so don't have media in the united arab emirates and they say they will ask sudanese abroad to protest in front of the embassies to ensure that they get out of the off else off so that by some have the most powerful site over twenty years in india is battering the east coast syphon funny has killed at least two people in addition to state one and a quarter million indians have left their homes to seek higher ground has more from new delhi. with one hundred eighty kilometer per hour winds a cycle unfunny slammed ashore in the distance state in eastern india. twenty first made landfall friday morning near the coastal city of putting a holy place for hindus. the strong side clone is expected to move north through the end weekend as it hits west bengal and

point on the creation of the solving the consulate is going to be the highest organ in this transitional council that has been that a transitional administration that's been proposed for some done of course at the move comes as a huge relief to many people here in sudan because of one point there what dolls have been one of the transitional military council will resume talks with the opposition movement but there was a lot of pressure as you said from the international community and also because the protesters had fulfilled most of the demands of the military council now the talks that the size of stage what happens from here on in is going to be really important to what happens next is sudan have both sides want a major in that. sort of consul and everything will depend on compromise from either side and to underline what's at stake for the country mohamed sit in these protests have been outside those headquarters for. the cause at the very future of the country after decades of president bashir it is at stake. indeed and that is what the say even if it means staying for the same duration they'

the opposition coalition have to agree on is the structure of the south frank council which will be guiding the transitional period people here say if the military doesn't agree to having a civilian head that's council then protests will continue. they also have other questions they want answered and other demands they want to response to another one who like to know who is responsible for guaranteeing the results of this agreement between the military council and the coalition of freedom and change the coalition of freedom and change represents the interests of the people in the street. when they announce tomorrow that the deal is done in our revolution will be complete we need to get justice for all our martyrs that's when our revolution will be complete with all the demands in new concerns one thing people agree on is that this announcement brings them closer to the civilian government that they've started the revolution for more than ever before morgan i'm just there. well let's go live now to mohammed who is in khartoum and mohammed the country appears to be a step closer to civilian rule but there are

however, a transitional military council will be very concerned that the strike is holding. e opposition coalition will be hoping the strike at them negotiating power and that the transitional military council will have to listen and reopen talks. if they do not, opposition leaders say they will take further action such as more strikes. for now, the padlocks remain firmly closed. al jazeera, khartoum. >> thousands of students and teachers have marched through capital.ian they are keeping up the pressure on the military, demanding sweeping changes in their country. nearly two months after abdelaziz bouteflika reside. the army chief has been calling for mutual concessions between interim leaders and protesters. the demonstrators want him and athers from bouteflika's er gone before and elections are held. a group of gunmen in northern nigeria have launched an attack on to villages, killing at least 23 people. the killings happened in the early hours while victims were eating breakfast. gang reports say the carried out raids on other villages, stealing cattle and burning homes. t

actually operating right now in the last few days we've seen the vice president of the transitional military council meet with saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin salma we've seen the chairman of the transitional military council meet with. c.c. and we've also hearing that. he's the chairman has the same name almost with the egyptian leader is going to the u.a.e. to meet with the leader mohammed bin day that's and bring the protesters because they're saying these people the transitional military council acting like the defacto government of sudan and they're not and that's why a they called the strike but also they say that the more the army tries to behave like the leaders of the country the more united they come and the more in effect hard ball they're going to play to get their demands which is to reduce the role of the army in public political life and have a civilian leadership. imran khan my friends encourage seem thank you. we're getting reports from northern nigeria has a military convoy killing at least 20 people but it happens all the army was trying to relocate refugees from a camp f

for that to a transitional council as for the transition period so we're yet to hear from the opposition on that proposal they're saying that they are going to debate and they're open to negotiations and that they do not mind having an mediation between the two sides and the military council also said that it is optimistic and that it wants to form a transitional government as soon as possible but as it stands right now sudan is no closer to having a transitional government than it was when president bashir was ousted on the eleventh of april so how is likely to go down there with the opposition and all those protesters who are still on the streets so keep up the pressure on the military. yes indeed they've been here for one month now they've been in front of the army headquarters for one month saying that they know they're the winning card is the pressure card that the opposition coalition can use to force the military council to hand over power to an independent civilian rule and many of them have been coming from various states not just the term basically different states a

the protest movement says it has the upper hand and is threatening more strikes if the transitional military council doesn't come back to the negotiating table. however the ruling transitional military council criticized the strikes saying the army was part of the revolution i don't know who the ns armed forces are part of that evolution by god we are and then think part of this revolution and without us all morning would have been instead empowered by god i'm telling you no one would have been able to remove him not was out us. a handful of shops and government offices did open but the strike is widespread enough for the organizers to deem it a success the plan today walkout was organized by the sudanese professionals association on behalf of the opposition coalition of the workers who walked out they hope that the military leaders who replaced ousted president omar al bashir will listen to their demands for a civilian led government so he just likes to do this right but we're going for more if they don't live without you know if your version was a little shocked at one or the 1st the sudanese prof

the transitional military council is almost acting as the defacto head the facto government of sudan by taking these high level meetings rob them negotiating with the protesters and putting into place a transitional sovereign government and that's really what the protest is for what's happening in these meetings we're not absolutely sure the statements are come that come out so very kind of an a dyna have to say they say very much we support the sudanese people we support the transition from military to civilian rule yet it's not the civilians of these people are meeting with this actually the military. thanks very much. well european leaders are meeting in brussels right now to talk about the new names they want to fill the union's top jobs the election source center right and center left parties lose support and populists liberals and greens taking advantage of the voter anger with the current direction of the european union backroom negotiations have already begun to appoint the commission's president and the other heads of the situations david chaytor is following this for us from

that's preceded it but politics is slow the talks between the opposition alliance and the transitional military council are stalled for the third day you know all the parties now communicate with written messages through mediators the alliance has presented its vision for the transitional period following the overthrow of president omar bashir last month. said. he will not allow any appointment of anyone in the transitional council until there is an agreement we expect the military transitional council to respond to world vision within two or three days. it has renewed its pledge to continue the dialogue with the protest leaders until an agreement is found. so right now actually the equation the balance. now on the ground actually in the direction of the civilians and civilian they want severely or and that is very important for the three weeks have passed since the fall of the regime of a lot of bashir and yet there is no let up in the first of this crowd thousands called to new to arrive on the remote regions they say they are ready to stay here for any length of time until they had achieved the goal

break it because they are at a deadlock they could not agree or not the formation of the joint transitional council they were supposed to or form together because both sides want a majority membership of the council eleven members have been proposed the military wants seven the protest leaders are saying no you can't have seven you cannot of us two asian where the minute expect that one is expected to hand over power to a civilian or forty and you have a majority of the council that's going to take the country through a transition what they want to do is get eight of us council members and give the military three something the ministry does not want to hear about but in the past few hours one of the members of the transitional military council is you know it had that they were willing to concede a fifty fifty power sharing agreement in the transitional council with the civilians of course there are two separate efforts currently going on trying to mediate both these one of them has been led by eminent sudanese personalities people who are let in much respected within the society trying to break tha

been forced into this action because they haven't been able to come to a deal with the transitional military council they say every time they've come close to a deal the transitional moves. the council ups the stakes and says no we will all of a role in public political life also there's a lot of anger from the protesters who say that they are very angry about the recent visit by the vice president of the transitional military council to matty who went and met with the saudi crown prince mohammed bin so man they say why is he meeting with them in this manner is he now the defrocked leader of the sudanese people easy is it seems e-mail the effective representation that's very been very angry so they're hoping that what's going to happen in the next few days when this strike takes place that will give them the upper hand it will give them some leeway in the negotiations between the opposition coalition and the transitional military council meanwhile the protests now gerri have continued as well police there have arrested dozens of demonstrators rallying in the capital out cheers. hundreds are gathered

paul's time to talk with the transitional military council they say they like their tactics the transitional military council has been a lot different from those of the former. but they say the phrase. big problem which is within the opposition forces for freedom and change to themselves last week the 1st as a margin between the civil society we which is led by the sudanese professional physician which doesn't like the protests and sudan's position.

protesters and the one soldier how was that like the impact then on further talks between the transitional council and the opposition coalition. well the military council is saying that it's up some mystic it's going to be able to continue talks throughout the day today on a tuesday as well as on wednesday to try to come up with a transitional government they already said that they agree on the structure of that transitional government with the opposition coalition but most of the support and most of the backing and the pressure that the opposition coalition is able to put on the military council comes down from the protesters in the streets in front of the army headquarters and they're very upset and they're quite upset that they lost some of their members who have been with them in the city and some of them who have been there since the 6th of april when the system started so they're saying that they do not want the opposition coalition to negotiate with the military council which would make it hard to find a transitional government but at the moment the protesters are saying they want answers a

the differences between the 2 groups with the transitional military council saying they want just a 2 year transitional period while the opposition movement say they want a 4 year period because they say that is and not time to instill the law and men the rule of role in the country and there are other sticking points including a new constitution for sudan saying there will be tucking it for the next $72.00 hours and they hope to make progress but again the gap between them is a widening and what's the military saying to these claims that are doing the rounds saying that someone has been trying to break up the demonstrations. well that's been the claim of the protesters who of the sit in outside the military headquarters that say that they have been up to homs by the rep and security forces who which is more or less have put a minute in militia type of group that is headed by the deputy of the transitional military council. general tommy t. and what is happening is the the the security forces say that that is no true and rather the confrontations there hard with protests those was now
