Column and now theyre on the run from the citys all far exceeds the w talks exclusively to 3 on the protest as defined chinese rule and demanding real change. Plus public and patriotism is donald trump leads 4th of july celebrations in washington to his supporters turn out in the pouring rain but critics who lost the president of politicizing independence day. Job. Im on you tube is nick cannon thanks for joining Us African Union mediators say that saddams ruling generals and opposition leaders have reached a power sharing agreement under the deal a half civilian hof military council will rule the country for the next 3 years and protests have roiled sadr. And since the ousting of longtime president Omar Al Bashir in april opposition leaders all say the new deal is a victory for the movement. Celebrations in the capital khartoum as a political standoff deescalate in a gesture of peace sudans ruling military freed more than 200. 00 rebel fighters who are part of the countrys opposition a step towards reconciliation one rebel leader praised their release. Well i mean the limit is that it shows clearly that the army and the armed forces are our partners and not our enemy. Army and i want your cooperation and understanding we will meet the demands of the sudanese people the status of that those demands are 1st civilian rule its been the heart of the conflict which began after the military ousted long time leader Omar Al Bashir activists called for a transition to a civilian government an impasse ensued and then bloodshed in june Security Forces opened fire on a protest camp in the capital leaving more than 100. 00 dead but after a month the warring sides were at the table again in power sharing talks mediated by the African Union and ethiopia after 2 days a breakthrough was announced. And the mission isnt the 2 parties have agreed to share the Sovereign Council equally between the military and civilian for the period of at least 3 years. With the they have also agreed on an independent civilian government under the leadership of a prime minister. In a further sign of healing they also agreed to launch a National Independent investigation into the deaths of the sudanese who were killed in the fight for democracy. And interviews i e bergen joins me in the studio now for some analysis i you have reported extensively from sudan for us tell us about the significance of this deal its a significant deal in that it is actually it is the culmination of about 2 and a half months of 7 this uncertainty between the protesters and the military and ago that have been going on and off since the removal of ahmed of bashir on april 11th. But this is by no means the 1st time that it looks like the military council and the protesters have reached a deal there were many ups and downs in this almost 3 month period with the military sometimes backing away from quite big concessions at the very last minute so it remains to be seen if the deal will actually hold however this is the 1st time that we have a deal that is a result of a mediation before that it was the military council and the protest leaders negotiating directly with each other but this is the 1st fruit of the African Union and the ethiopian mediators and the most important thing to remember the most significant thing about this deal is that this is not this is by no stretch of the imagination a civilian civilian rule because there might be confusion people went out demanding civilian rule what people are telling me is and still what they want this is a power sharing agreement that may or may not lead to civilian rule in a couple of years following the culmination of the transitional period but that remains to be seen in case so potentially a good 1st step as you say youre in touch with people in sudan what are they saying do they have confidence that this is going in the right direction so before we get into what people are saying its important to remember that all of this entire negotiation is happening with a near internet blackout that affects most of the people in sudan and the internet was cut off by the state and so the state obviously has command of the of the of the official channels of communication so state media with that being said we were able to reach some people on the ground and the reactions have been mixed theres a general feeling that its a compromise but there were no other options that the forces of Freedom Change had to realize that any kind of agreement would have to involve the military and that some compromise needs to needed to be. Reached and that the t. M. C. Had to be included which would show which was not always. The aspiration of the of the protest movement but there are people that are disappointed and you know they are disappointed to still see to still see the faces that have that were prominent in the bashir era whether its amityville commander or burn who is the head of the transitional military military council theres also end of the important clause in this agreement that was to investigate the atrocities on the streets but then there are big question marks about whether the people that are allegedly complicit in these atrocities can investigate themselves how fair would that be and. As weve been saying it remains it really remains to be seen if this agreement will hold because at any time the military still commands the power to basically call it off and take power completely arent even thanks so much. Italian authorities have barred another migrant rescue ship from docking on the island of lampedusa the boat is carrying more than 50 migrants pulled from the mediterranean off the libyan coast or thora he say the italian boat should take the people on board to molt but the humanitarian group rescue operating it says the rescued migrants are in no state to make a detour like that.

Given food you have to have to call you up you know youve got to many migrants never make it this far at least 53 people died on tuesday when an airstrike hit a Migrant Detention Center in tripoli water on libya is now itself a deadly place for them the u. N. Backed government has conceded thousands of them and it centers are no longer safe. From the support the bombing was done by an f. 16 aircraft and the government of National Accord cannot prevent of sixteens from launching attacks in libyan airspace and then we send a message that since we are obligated to protect migrants it is our duty to release them from the camps so they will not be bombed again. That means many more could soon risk their journey across the mediterranean but italy has shut its ports to boats like the alex and co impeding rescue efforts. On wednesday a grim reminder of the human cost about packed with migrants sank off the coast of tunisia. With no rescue boats nearby only 4 people were eventually saved by fisherman.

Students in hong kong have rejected the offer of a meeting with the territories chief executive kerry lam has paused efforts to pass an extradition bill into law after weeks of massive protests but activists say they want the bill withdrawn completely on monday they stormed hong kongs parliament in protest that is pulling out met 3 of those involved. Stephanie boris and can not their real names were protesting outside the Legislative Council on monday when suddenly a group of young people started to attack the parliament trying to break the glass from. The time i was still struggling over whether i should leave or i should support them i thought by the time the glass broke and the 1st protesters entered the building she had made up her mind i thought that i needed to support what they wanted to do it may be wrong all right but they are still hong kong people. Most of the protesters were very young 18 year old borers also had his dolls but decided to join india and the protesters entered the building spraying graffiti calling for universal suffrage prodemocracy activists have been fighting for these 2 months for decades to know how old it was. My parents asked me if i really had to join the protests they said they had already enough out there but i said no one will stand up if everyone thinks that way. Meanwhile the city is trying to clear the remnants of the silt damage to the legislature is estimated at 1000000 euros the government has vowed to prosecute those who participated several arrests have already been made. If i told you that im not afraid i would be lying we may be talking about 10 years in jail but from that day until now i dont regret that i went in i just feel that i did what i needed to do. Many moderate protestors feel that this might not have helped their cause but criticism has been limited as they say they understand the anger that surfaced. When we entered we had already lost but we felt there was nothing else we could do any more peaceful rallies have achieved nothing the 3 are currently in hiding as the police are stepping up their efforts to identify those involved in storming hong kongs parliament. That report from burning out in hong kong and a short while ago he sent us this update from a demonstration where protesters mothers have turned out to demand peaceful policing by Security Forces. The last few days may have been more quiet and on kong after mondays dramatic events after protesters stormed the legislature this event is called for by a group of mothers these mothers have 1st appeared 3 weeks ago after police violently dispersed young protesters they have come out to say that their children do not deserve to be treated like this and they are out today again as the police is looking for those who stormed mondays legislature they say shattered glass does not measure up to human lives and they want to see their kids protected the government may have hoped that the more moderate parts of this protest movement would turn away after mondays events however we see no sign people here are convinced that the government is responsible for peoples for the young peoples anger. And. Venezuela is accusing the United Nations human rights chief of bias that is often Michelle Bachelet presented a damning new report on the country based on the governments own figures it found that many of the nearly 7000. 00 killings jaring Security Operations in venezuela since the start of 2018 may have been extrajudicial executions it also said that nearly 800 people remain in custody after being aba trial really a rested and the un report found that 1500 deaths over 4 months and 201829000 were caused by a lack of hospital supplies. Now addressing the Un Human Rights Council in geneva called on the venezuelan government to talk to the opposition rather than cracking down on it but encourage the government to view the opposition and Human Rights Defender of partners in the common cause of human rights and justice and to plan the see through durable political agreement that leads to reconciliation and since the start of the year venezuela has been caught in both an economic crisis and a political standoff between president Nicolas Maduro as government and National Assembly leader kwan the duros won a 2nd term in a disputed election last year and is resisting attempts to oust him by the u. S. Backed opposition led by earlier this year why dont we declared himself interim president its a crisis that has led to mass protests and forced millions to flee. The us President Donald Trump has led 4th of july celebrations in washington d. C. Now the holiday marks americas independence from british rule and is usually focused on National Unity trump sidestepped side step tradition though with what he called the show of a lifetime a speech to donors flanked by military vehicles and even by his standards it was an eye catching spectacle but did the event live up to the height height lets have a look. Although it rained on his parade President Donald Trump had promise quite a show. Including a beefed up military showing he had dubbed it a salute to america critics didnt like tanks being part of a National Holiday celebration and many had wondered whether he would use a speech to the nation to campaign for reelection next year but he stuck to a nonpartizan script as we gather this evening in the joy of freedom we remember that all share a truly extraordinary heritage they gather we are part of one of the greatest stories ever told the story of america there were concerted efforts to speak to the nation as a whole but most to trump speech praised americas historic achievements focusing on the past our nations creativity ingenius lit up the lights of broadway and the sound stages of hollywood it filled the concert halls and airwaves around the world with the sound of jazz opera country rock n roll and rhythm and blues it gave birth to the musical the Motion Picture the western the world series the super bowl the skyscraper the suspension bridge the Assembly Line and the Mighty American automobile the show of a lifetime got some good reviews. I work for the military some of those airplanes that flew over ive actually worked on. Its a celebration of freedom i thought it was very Good American focused patriotic speech avoided partisanship which was very welcome but some nonplussed. Or just wondering like this is not a political day per se its just an american day and a little concerned at all to political economy whatever history lessons that we all grew up in new like i like beating a dead horse so to speak about the future where were going. From here is that where we were we know what we were just i want to work go in for a man who deferred his way out of the vietnam draft his version of the 4th of july was almost all about the mike that the u. S. Military past and present. Talk more about this im joined now by heading from the German Council on Foreign Relations mr thank you thanks for joining us. What message was President Trump sending to the world by showing off all of this military might he did not give a partisan speech as many have expected or feared it was a speech of unity and he was praising the american nation he was praising people who did service to the community but of course he spent most of his speech and praising the u. S. Military he himself has not served but he wants to associate himself with the military because it is the one situation that is well regarded in america a lot like the media or the politics the military is strong and especially on the republican side but he also conveys an image of a military Strong America because in many of the conflicts that he is going into iran possibly china the military dominance of america is crucial and i think this was in. The supplements are not so subtle message that he also wanted to send can we presume that baze 4th of july celebrations assessing the tone for trumps Election Campaign in a way yes because he wants to be seen as the president who who is the responsible politician for making america strong and powerful and this was the man message that in this speech that was only given to him sort of no today america is stronger than ever but i think in the in the campaign of course he wants to look like a statesman with the military behind him but in the campaign he will be much more competitive and he will he will be very very like angry and focused on. His possible opponents. Absolutely now trump trump made a big deal of the large crowds gathered on the Lincoln Memorial for this event but his approval racing remains rather low doesnt its around 40 percent where his greatest vulnerability is now that were heading into the Election Campaign and i think the speech that we saw yesterday and all the discussion about the size of the crowd its a waste of time when you look at what important political issues on the table but its always an issue for him just as it was in the inauguration speech i think. The message that he sent reached his own electorate the people who supported him the trum
