North ortiz those 2 those 2 were 2 turkish citizens who were running a restaurant in libya and they were taken to one of the prisons which it which is known to the abu ghraib of libya and in total right now we know that there are 8 people understood who have been seized there id add there they have been identified by the turkish government but no identities are given in order to not to risk the lives of all of those people. So then what options. If those nationals are not released. Well sami i mean turkish authorities responded to this on the very high level they said the price will be very heavy it will be costly and since took it is turkey doesnt recognize Eastern Libyan authorities as legitimate representatives of libya but if something went wrong they could become legitimate targets so they are working on different scenario is scenarios as far as im told by un kyra but of course for now they are preparing for any option but i must say that they are expecting i mean they they they their expectations are that.

U. Leaders sounded fairly optimistic people like the french president emanuel mark home who predicted that 3 of the 4 top jobs would get resolved here in the talks but those talks were delayed they started late on sunday night local time and then they broke up for a series of bilateral meetings between donald the head of the European Council and the heads of government originally mr micawber and Angela Merkel the german chancellor had expected one of the 2 socalled lead candidates to take the job of the president s of the European Commission either manfred verb or a german from the center right or the tip favorites france timmons the dutch politician a socialist there was then a series of negotiations in meetings where some countries told donald why in their view they didnt see mr timmons as a suitable candidate countries like poland and hungary extremely unhappy with the prospects mr has put forward other names from the center right grouping as possible European Commission heads including in fact michel barnier.

Rokia biggins family has farmed this land on the banks of riverbank sheets for generations now our home is badly polluted even though that had. Run them up we used to drink water from this river and cooked food with it now we cant even wash our hands here we get rushes in our fee if we stand in these paddy fields we cant eat fish from these waters dont you see there are no more fishermen around. The department of environment has already classified tree leavers around the capital as biologically dead because of pollution the environmentalists impact of clothing production in bangor that shows how the true cost of cheap textile is been followed by the very poorest living downstream from polluting factories while the production goes up day by day the desire to cut pollution does not. Some factories conceal drains which dispose of untreated waste a lot of other day in d. C. All these factories built large drains and then installed large pipes inside the drains when waste water comes out from these drains the stench is so awful you cant stand here the poor bear the brunt of pollution in the office with me and i look we are facing a lot of Health Problems these waters are so dirty its not cheating we contacted anything in this land. Treating factory waste water is an expensive process we have been very still are. Being invited to tell friendly and sustainable by.

Lets take you through some of the headlines here on aljazeera now demonstrators in hong kong are trying to force their way into the building housing the legislature they want a controversial extradition deal completely withdrawn under thomas has more from hong kong. You can see here why protests have been trying to smash their way into this ledge cobell the century the hong kong and. Close a riot police wait until were taxed is going to until theyre given commands to come out and there are thousands of protesters out there at the bus majority wearing helmets like they and they have gas small stones well because in previous protests protesters have had to gas rubber bullets fired at them and the expectation frankly is that that is going to happen again in the middle of that melee there is one leg just like who is trying to act as. Between the protesters outside this building and the police in so i think to be honest one man on the road this many people outside that many Police Inside well its not quite what hes going to achieve its a very tense situation out here it really feels as though were in a break before things get very violent. A gun battle is ongoing in the Afghan Capital after an explosion that killed at least 10 people dozens have been injured the taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack smoke was seen coming from an area near the u.

He says there will be consequences for libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar unless he releases 8 turkish nationals ankara says halftones fighters will become legitimate targets if they are released immediately after Eastern Administration cut all ties with anchor on friday accusing it of supporting the rival un recognized government in tripoli. Headlines the news continues here on aljazeera after inside story so stay with us talk to aljazeera. Problems besides the instability is corruption we listen to. Who are pushing the United States and President Trump into conflict we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter. Whos fueling the fighting in libya the United Arab Emirates is accused of supplying fighters trying to seize tripoli with antitank missiles made in the United States so how did u. S. Weapons end up in the hands of the lord hath a whos trying to overthrow the un recognized government this is inside stuart. Hello and welcome to the program im peter dobby its a question being asked by libyas internationally recognized government in tripoli and in washington to how did u. S. Made antitank missiles sold to the United Arab Emirates and up on the battlefield in libya the libyan Army Supporting the u. N. Recognize government says boxes of the weapons stamped with you a logos were found in got a gun troops recapture the city on weapons day 3 months after the warlord after took control theyre trying to use it as a springboard for his campaign to seize the capital after has the support of regional powers including saudi arabia and the and iraq the weapons find raises questions about whether the u. A. E. Is violating internationally recognized u. S. Arms sales agreements and the u. N. Arms embargo on libya. Liseys the weapons and ammunitions have been sent to the specialized experts and have been documented the military commanders and the political leaders are now fully aware of these weapons and ammunitions to make the right decisions that will be announced well libya correspondent head in tripoli sets up our discussion. As a the capture of the strategic town over the u. N. From have to has forces forces loyal to libyas you and backed government of National Accord and i was said that they captured a number of anti tanks rockets. A. T. G. Sophisticated advances u. S. Made anti tanks rockets now the military sources with the government of National Accord say that they have assigned a team of experts to check and document these weapons and also to arrange any poor to be submitted to the concern of International Institutions possibly in the United Nations meanwhile officials at the pentagon as in the defense say that they are aware of these reports but meanwhile theyre investigating and demanding Additional Information we know that libya is under arms embargo since 2011 but the u. N. Backed government of National Accord says its the only libyan institution entitled to import weapons in coordination with the Security Council but the United Arab Emirates which is. Accused of supplying have to do with those anti tanks javelin a. G. T. And anti tanks rockets has been providing have to do with weapons drawn and also fighter jets since 24. 00 teams this could be. This could possibly be a violation of the saves agreement between the United Arab Emirates and the United States but the question now is whether or not the latest states is going to take an action against the United Arab Emirates given the fact that there are mutual interests between the 2 countries who would argue i had full insight as to. Tripoli. We have a panel lets bring them in joining us from tripoli son of a couche a former Senior Advisor to the negotiating team of the high council of states from london andrew smith spokesman for the campaign against the arms trade and from washington Lawrence Korb former u. S. Assistant secretary of defense welcome to you all in tripoli there are inbuilt guarantees here why are they not working there are no guarantees in the end user certificate have no in forstmann mechanism and thats probably one of the biggest reasons for their failure i mean their failure is not new their failure was apparent in the many conflicts where u. S. Arms and french arms ended up in the hands of a groups affiliated with al qaida and isis is themselves so this is not new i think historically. These guarantees did not work did not work in the 1936 to 1939 civil war were german arms ended up in on both sides to greece anderson if in london specifically about these weapons that have ended up in libya they are they are branded with the u. A. E. Logo on them how did these weapons get from a production line in the United States to libya. I mean point as it was no such thing as arms control once arms enter a war zone in fact was very little control over arms once they leave our shores particularly small arms theres no way of knowing who your weapon will ultimately end up with and 2 it will ultimately be used against so i think the key point here is that for all the end User Certificates and for the socalled gotten ts which can be issued they are actually largely very meaningless and that by putting weapons into war zones by selling weapons to despotic regimes by selling weapons to regimes with very poor stability or very crude human rights records we dont know where her ultimately going to end up we could be feeling human rights abuses and wars for years and years to come Lawrence Korb in washington they were originally sold we understand to the United Arab Emirates where they sold in the knowledge that they would then go on to any other country no not at the time under the Obama Administration in fact its against the u. S. Law for weapons we sell to one country to go to another without the u. S. Permission whats different here unlike whats happening in yemen a lot of times the weapons we supplied to the usa in the saudis which we know were being used were actually captured on the battlefield by hoodies or groups allied to them this time it looks like the usa just gave them right to general have to are in violation not only of u. S. Policy but u. N. Policy. Tripoli there are no we understand we are at the beginnings of multiple investigations thats fine and dandy what are the chances that police have to gives those investigating officials chapter and verse on where he got the weapons who supplied them to him and how much money he gave them to get them. Nothing hes not going to give any corporation would not give any corporation to the International Criminal court he thinks he has enough Political Support from the french and the russians the immoralities saudis and egyptians to get away with this stuff he hasnt handed over or somebody thats wanted by the International Criminal court and i think these weapons are representative of. The u. A. E. Doubling down in a support of after thinking that they can get away with it based on the fact that the us or the trumpet Administration Needs its cooperation and the saudis and egyptians in implementing the. Deal of the century andrew is it possible to tighten and use legislation. The main thing that has to happen is a far stricter policy regarding who arms are sold to look ultimately we want to live in a world where nobody is selling weapons to anybody and people arent going to war they obviously thats not going to happen in the short term but certainly in the short term what we should be looking at is much tighter regulations and controls over who where these weapons are sold whats the character of their being sold to what is the political situation they are being sold to. At the moment so many different arms from so many different providers are going into a region which is already very tense and middle east i dont believe that pouring more weapons into it is going to me any less so and looking at the character of the m. Ratties emits tech killer early despotic regime but so are then so are many of the regimes in region who are being armed and supported there is an incentive for cooperation because. At the moment theres almost certainly going to be said steady stream of black Market Weapons going in as well as weapons which are being seized lawrence in washington would it be fair to say that so many countries a kind of half adopt in the moral high ground on this as an issue because as an issue globally it is getting traction and yet theyre saying one thing and doing something completely different. Well i think what happened here well find out what all is said and done is the fact that President Trump has leaned toward general history in fact he had a conversation with them i think thats what the u. A. E. Thought well hes not going to get upset the remedy in the United States is for the congress has just done for the saudis which is to prevent the arms sales now President Trump could declare an emergency and do it anyway but i think over time opposition to the sales particularly to the saudis in the usa is really building in the in the United States and the other thing that is important to keep in mind is once youre selling you really dont have control anymore what you can do is not sell into that country again if they do what the u. A. E. Appears to have done here and should the world really be so very very surprised to see i mean the u. A. E. Played a significant role in the events surrounding what happened in the skies above and the land surrounding benghazi back in 2017. I dont think that people should be surprised i think i agree entirely for them lawrence just said about the growing opposition to these arms sales within the us i think we the fact that senate and congress have taken a line against arm sales to sage arabian support for the sages human for war in yemen is historic and its very important but its also the case that these weapons should never have been sold in the 1st place their safety regime their immorality regime they had appalling characters before the war in yemen they have appalling characters know theyve always been death parts and dictatorships and they should not be have been receiving weapons in the 1st place specifically with reference. To. Would this have happened with this weaponry thats got to him via the u. A. E. If donald trump hadnt made a phone call last april weve already touched on this but last april there was a phone call where the perception for relief i have to was donald trump is edging towards indorsing me. Well theyve had they made a big brouhaha about it and in libya the phone call there that ties it all off for all there are Communication Channels as an indication of the u. S. Support for the 5. The m. R. I. It is probably thought thought that if we had hume that they delivered these weapons after the phone call but the images support. Is not new to leave after they have. Built a air base and near benghazi they have been delivering arms to after since 2040 so this would continue and i think they might have basically think they can get away with it and they have got to a gotten away with it for a long time not only libya but them yemen and other parts of the world lawrence in washington so many countries so many people who buy these weapons now seemed to just more recently than than the timescale that sila is referring to they seem perfectly comfortable with breaching the guidelines with breaching the restrictions so has any has anything shifty or changed within that calculation that those people are making well known fact its got worse because President Trump has bragged about the arms sales that he sells to countries in the region hes made this a centerpiece of his Foreign Policy and every time the congress oh well wait a 2nd those weapons are ending up in the wrong hands hell say no no im just creating a lot of jobs here in the United States its what we president eisenhower called the military industrial congressional complex the fact of the matter is these 2 create jobs american arms trade is about half of the whole worlds arms trade and so when you have a president who embraces it these countries feel even if we violate this. Were still going to be able to buy them because the president is so concerned about american jobs and unfortunately most people in this country are not paying attention to whats happening in libya or yemen right now the focus of the whole question of iran will come onto iran in just a 2nd perhaps but andrew picking up on that point from lawrence is it a help or a hindrance when the relatively new as he was when he said this donald trump u. S. President talks about the beautiful weapons that the United States makes and also to pick up on that percentage that lawrence was using 50 percent i think im right in saying lawrence 50 percent of the u. S. Arms sales go to specifically the middle east. I think its not helpful when donald trump takes that tone but donald trump as a particularly appalling front man invites sense but Foreign Policy hes following regarding arms sales doesnt feel distinctly different from bottom as peter fessor was under the Obama Administration under clinton the u. S. Government was by far the largest arms dealer anywhere in while and there was no shortage of dictatorships and human rights abusing regimes but it was continuously arming and supporting donald trump might be more obvious and his rhetoric might be more distasteful and his commitment to freedom and human rights might be slightly lesser but they all these president s have forward actually very similar sorts of policies and the end results have seen u. S. Political and military support for human rights abusing these eams and dictatorships across the world for decades and just so happens that donald trump is even more a verdict and open about it but just to be clear. In tripoli these weapons that were talking about the branded you a weapons they are also being described online as being game changes does that make this more important more significant and therefore more of a worry because if these people carry on getting their hands on these weapons it means the conflicts never end that means more people die of course i mean the introduction of such weapons will invite introduction of more weapons by the other side these weapons and the have to our forces who are using poor neath. In armor are more. Rockets and now they have the javelin so this would be the would increase the pressure or no or other forces to increase their or their weapons and you know weapons are plenty around the world and there are measures that would be very happy to supply as long as you have money. And libyas both sides heard the money so that this is a very dangerous situation and we dont see any political moves on the part of the u. S. Or the europeans to do anything about it since the immoralities and the saudis and the egyptians are needed in the larger scheme of things in the middle east anderson is in london is this a double edged sword if you will when it comes to culpability i mean the surtees used cluster munitions theyre banned in syria weve seen chemical weapons being used as well of course they are banned im going to read from an amnesty report from february of this year amnesty saying the following states a recently supplies the emirates is with arms australia belgium brazil bold the area france finland germany south korea turkey the u. K. And of course the United States i could go on the list is longer we dont have time to to list all the countries involved so those awkward questions will just be ignored or will somebody deal with it sooner or later. What youre under lane to the list is the need for strong multilateral action because this is the arms industry is a Global Industry its impacts are felt globally and sellers exist all across the world in fact many of the weapons which leave a country like the u. K. Will have components which are made in other countries as well so it is definitely a multilateral global need for multilateral Global Solutions and regulations but that doesnt on the other hand up to cait individual nation states of their responsibility and when we look to the u. S. Has played a particularly strong role in arming the world for decades and decades when we look to russia its been doing the same with a particular increase over recent years when we look at other countries range unit for doing much the same but in reality we are of an equally long list published by amnesty was a list which republished in 2015 of countries who had produced weapons which had been seized by isis and it wasnt that isis had bought these weapons directly from france and buchanan over europe. Countries it was because they had seize them and battlefield for the large part of the point when we sell these weapons the lifespan of a weapon is very often longer than the lifespan of a government and will almost always be longer from the lifespan of the political situation it sold into but pickle context change but weapons can change hands and they can do a great deal of damage Lawrence Korb in washington is there another imperative here were talking clearly about libya but no matter where the proxy conflict is taking place weapons as currency because if youre the guy that sells arms the quid pro quo is you are buying the loyalty from the person you are selling those arms to so whether its the us a to the u. A. E. And then from the u. A. E. To libya theres a Chain Reaction of loyalty there well theres no no doubt about it and what happens is that these countries will say to us well if you wont sell it to us will buy in from the russians or the chinese just recently we found out the saudis are getting you know Ballistic Missile technology from the chinese and the other point that we need to make is with those very sophisticated american weapons end up in the wrong hands countries like the russians will be able to negate our strength in europe or in china in the pacific so not only is it a human catastrophe but it basically is a National Security catastrophe we know that a lot of the weapons that ended up in the hands of the hodes that technology went back to iran and so that that basically is a point that has to be made because right now unfortunately people are focusing only on the economic dimension and as my colleague said its got to be a multilateral because if the country says well if you wont buy in will buy him from phil in country x. Then in fact you know you cant go ahead with this and you can stop this problem weve been. Just for talking about salary is there another issue of culpability here or accountability the purchasing countries the middleman countries in this case allegedly the u. A. E. They never go to the original manufacturer slash supplier with literally a blank sheet of paper and they dont list off the countries they are going to bomb in theyre going to kill in let alone getting to the stage of having a blank sheet of paper from after whos going to give you a mission brief a statement of intent how hes going to use these Game Changing weapons. Well you know the problems with the end User Certificates are well known for decades but just to give you. A view of what the situation is look how leave after attack tripoli 10 days before a. National conference sponsored by the United Nations its a gender was approved in abu dhabi 20 days before that the secretary general was in tout and highly for have at dak the europeans on their own the europeans and the americans and the russians and the chinese could not even tell half the world this that wasnt nice so let alone taken a stand or making a decision about sounds fair or weapons so i think the problem is very big and i afraid that there is nothing that can be done about it right now. Its not clearly a one size fits all andrew when it comes to the kind of embargoes that are deployed against specific countries would it be better or would it be faster to stop this happening if the embargoes turned into an embargo and it was standardized i mean the embargo of which egypt at the moment is the subject it is the subject of an embargo is weaker than other embargoed that are being applied around the middle east but then of the back about ones also got to say well the people are just ignoring or breaking the embargo who cares whether its weak or strong to start with. The strength of him fired was often depends on of our geopolitical considerations and because a lot of the large arms suppliers consider egypt to be an ally despite the utterly appalling human rights record of the regime there then its not a surprise that its a significantly weaker embargo but actually this comes to point of influence which was raised a couple of questions ago because actually been flints works both ways its not so much that if were sitting around the table selling weapons to despotic regime we can try to influence and very often these regimes know that theyre not just buying weapons but also buying Political Support and crucially but also buying silence and i expect thats a big consideration for the savior for example movements who are understandably under a lot of International Criticism because of the merger of Jamal Khashoggi and because of the terrible war v of which and yemen and so by buying weapons but also buying allies but also buying support and i think that played a crucial role in shaping the ever changing message from the trumpet ministration about for merger of shockey in the ever changing message of countries like the u. K. About the need for a peaceful solution in yemen lawrence if there is to be a change in this legislation if the embargoes are to be tightened if the final use declarations are to be enforced properly will that dynamic come not from the president and the prime ministers in the manufacturing countries not in the selling countries but from the voters because people will people will voice an opinion on this perhaps at the ballot box. Well you hope so basically maybe with a change of administrations i know that the Obama Administration while they did sell things to them they were very careful about making sure they didnt up in the wrong busy hands but thats got to be in other words it has to be i think the leading arms banier factors who have to recognize that the short term gains that you might get from selling these things are far outweighed by the long term problems that its causing as i mentioned both strategically as well as morally and i think thats what the United States has to get back its moral position in the world where it stands up for a lot of these things unfortunately right now were letting off control agreements expire were getting out of the j. C. P. O.

Turkey warns of serious consequences unless an 8th of its citizens see by warlords free for half the us forces are released. Now protesters are back on the streets of hong kong this hour i. Demonstrators have been trying to smash their way into the main government building its the anniversary of britains handover of hong kong to china 22 years ago but people remain angry about an extradition bill that could allow criminal suspects to be sent to Mainland China for trial. Andrew thomas is among the crowd of protesters from those pictures we were just looking at a looks like things a turning violent how a protest looking now. Well im right in the hall today here outside the Legislative Council essentially the pollens of hong kong and things a very very tense theres been a bit of a law in the last half hour or so as you can see in some of those pictures where the protest to be doing is trying to smash that way into this building and in places they succeeded in breaking the glass and the thumps that you might hear behind me as well all the crowd pushing objects into that well its now just the other side of the glass the look the looks of right place inside the building but so far this crowd here probably 3000 people out here all of them wearing hard hats like they smoke wearing gas masks as well as a real concern the place will come out with tear gas rubber bullets and people here want to be protected the feels as though that could. Very quickly it hasnt yet so weve seen a couple of people being carried off by protesters who have fainted its very hot here we think one or 2 may have got some pepper spray from earlier in their face but for the last hour all side has been might have a sprite more objects going in than coming out people have been throwing eggs ive seen some small rocks as well being part of that building but so far it hasnt gone as violent as it feels as though it has the potential to get a sigh about 23000. 00 people out here riot Police Inside separate so this is another huge march against this very controversial extradition bill which has been suspended but not handsome and that was not expected out of hundreds of thousands of people at that as many as a 1000000 now the crowd there different to the one here this is a very proud i would say the. Hidden shouts again that is are a few seconds the boss majority of people here under the age of 25. 00 the people marching tend to be older if you like will maines. Hong kong people here are prepared theyve got hats that got gas miles and it really feels as though this could turn quite nasty and quite fast. Andrew you mentioned that the authorities are suspended the bill any sign of theyre going to go any further meeting peoples demands. That is obesity what people here at once but so far from perry lamb the chief executive and from the home called up and recruiting and perhaps there was. A suggestion that they are going to completely cancel the bill in some ways its a matter of semantics and terry lamb has made it clear that the bill is not going to go back anytime soon but that doesnt feel like victory here and that is why these people want to formally cancel the force thats why she doesnt want to formally announce that parallel because it does it would be at the plate and after back down the road a temporary one as at the moment she took the train but the people here want more than that they also want the investigation into the policing of previous protests whether happy rubber bullets and tear gas used they want the release of all those people arrested in those previous riots and they want the resignation of terry lamb as well so just getting the consolation that bill might not be enough. All right andy thomas there from hong kong thanks so much to hong kongs chief executive carol lam is trying to calm the recent unrest shes promising to work with the people going on e. T. C. In a way he comes legal fund after this incident i will learn lessons and ensure that the government in future will work closer and be more responsive to the aspirations sentiments and opinions of the community the sas and mess basic step to take is to change our style of governance to make it more open and accommodating you also need to reform the way we listen to public views such work should be carried out without delay and will start with me. Security forces are involved in a gun battle with taliban fighters in the Afghan Capital kabul it follows an explosion that killed at least 10 people smoke was seen billowing from an area near the u. S. Embassy in the city. Joins us now live from kabul so whats going on with that gun battle one of the which building exactly the taliban faces trying to storm. What powerful explosion took place this morning here in kabul in one of the busiest street here in kabul close to the Afghan DefenseMinistry Area taliban attackers were trained to attack one of the Logistic Department of the Afghan Ministry of defense and they attacked the building they bring they brought a truck full of explosives they exploded the truck and the rest of that tech as well tried to make it to the.

Many of the Afghan Defense minister ministry officials. Well is the taliban sending a message here given that this is coming just after the resumption of talks with the u. S. Yes and it is a question here of a lot of people here in kabul that there on the one side of the start of on is having these peace talks with the u. S. Officials there and the other hand theyre exploiting their attacks not only getting capital kabul but also in the provinces provinces around the country we were witness of the attack in the district of kandahar province yesterday take where they can they kill as many afghan Security Forces including and dependent Election Commission member and theyre not only attacking or theyre not only killing the government officials they also also targeting a lot of the. Syrian population of afghanistan as well which is ready to question to the people in afghanistan. In kabul. At least 7 people were killed in sudan during protests on sunday that were demanding a civilian led government but were met with gunfire and tear gas right here mohammed has more. Than message remains the same as it has for months demanding sudans military rulers hand over power to a civilian government. Tens of thousands of protesters marched towards the president ial palace in khartoum opposition leaders called for similar mass demonstrations nationwide dubbed the 1000000 strong march but we dont want to feel like we stopped we want people to feel like we will continue continue no matter what everyone is out so we encourage each other. In some cases police fired tear gas at protesters the Rapid Support forces patrolled the streets with machine guns they were accused of the crackdown at a sit in at Army Headquarters in khartoum on june that around a 100 protesters were killed. In the eastern town of santa gunfire was heard and the military gentle says its not to blame for the recent violence. Or what. I mean lets you dont literally the military is here to protect protesters but we cant do anything when it comes to infiltrators 5 or 6 people have been hit and we need to go there to sort out the problem you have to know that there are infiltrators people who want to change the Current Situation but god willing if we reach an agreement and if you understand the situation we will get rid of the snipers who are killing the people right now. Sundays mass marches with the 1st since the killings in khartoum 4 weeks ago and internet and media blackout has been enforced since then the protests coincide with the end of the African Union deadline for the ruling military junta to hand over power to a you and ethiopia have led mediation efforts to find a political solution the opposition has accepted a plan to form a Transitional Government for the next 3 years the Transitional Military Council says its willing to negotiate. Sunday was also the 30th anniversary of the military coup led by Omar Al Bashir sudans president was overthrown by another military coup in april and is in prison charged with corruption activists arab countries to stop supporting sudans military rulers they will never want to lower not because they are nice but also because theyre going to be implicated if they are out of war so thats very normal very natural but we also. Know unless we. By that mean im speaking about saudi arabia the u. A. E. Then its going to be really hard for us. To succumb or be able to and i think this is changing now. The protesters say their chance of defiance will continue despite threats to their lives until their demands for civilian rule are met for hillah mohammed al jazeera. Spokesman for sudans murder trey says the jointer only responded with force after being attacked with the. In order to ensure the country exits its current problems and to achieve its aims and the revolution for which many young sudanese have lost their lives the interim military council have ensured that we are on the side of the revolution we will work closely to ensure the development and progress for the country at this very historic moment the military and other forces were in their stations and stones were thrown at them from within the demonstration that the Rapid Support forces moved in and managed to hold those who are firing at them accountable investigations are being carried out at this moment. Joining me on set now is will admit they both founder and president of Sudan Policy Forum good to have you with us and can we start with these infiltrators the military keeps saying its responding to infiltrate is there warning about in full traces who all these people. I dont believe the are any inference threat that its only perpetrate the violence and these security agents themselves this is their way of saying show you here saying the military thought is trying to plant people to turn this into a violent club salute i think thats their way of saying should you people decide to
