this government and will anybody be held accountable for this serious failure. Well i am not sure if anyone from the government to be held accountable for what has happened but yes the obvious appointed as a nation we are disappointed to learn of the fact that the parties had received crimea crying from ation of a possible Terrorist Attack and there was a Syrian LebaneseComing Cation between the time and he said because the cabinet of ministers and the president and the state intelligence and the police and nobody seems to have carving it that this information be charged and it has cost so thats very heavy today there have been reports which i found out that ever since the october twenty sixth constitutional crisis it rested on my trip by the students in a sex crime is that we committing to and appointed the following president as the new Prime Minister and that of the entry points that there had been internal conflicts between this government and the president so it is

a walk in capital colombo thank you. Tensions are escalating ensued on after talks there broke down between protesters and the countrys military rulers or the Military Council has told demonstrators to take down roadblocks outside the Army Headquarters where thousands of been staging a sit in since the ouster of president Omar Al Bashir on april eleventh the demonstrators are demanding an immediate transition to a civilian government. They will not be silenced the protesters on The Streets Of Khartoum have to stay until sudan gets a civilian government and after dusk fell on Sunday Night Protest Organizers called for an escalation. How do you feel rather. We will continue our sit in and start negotiations with the Military Council and we will continue our revolution on the streets with more protests until we get all of our demands
had got that nobody went out. With the demonstrators halting talks pressure on the Military Council is growing on sunday its leader met with the head of the African Union local media reported that the union threatened to suspend sudan if it did not transfer power to a civilian government within fifteen days. Its been almost that long since the army as did president Omar Al Bashir after months of protests the minute she cancel says the delay in handing over power is because it wants to hear proposals from all Political Parties. For protesters thats raised fears that factions close to bashir could play a role leaving much of his regime intact or paving the way for another strongman you know. What we thought we were disappointed by the depressing news from the Military Council who we thought would respond to these crowds and all this pure blood all over khartoum but these guys are just an extension of the regime which is
stolen thirty years from us well im going to say about the demonstrators arent turning down the Volume Protest Organizers have called for mass rallies on thursday when they plan to announce their own civilian Transitional Council in a challenge to the military. And we can take you now to sudan where did obvious just are advocating is in the capital of khartoum and joins me now on the phone to first set the scene for us where you are the Military Council asked protesters to remove the roadblocks but they said theyre not going anywhere and are staying put whats the risk that this standoff could lead to a violent confrontation. Yes the Military Council are the people to move on. Streets some of the streets that are blocked because of the area but thats actually what makes every angry are describing that the tension between theMilitary Council and the protectors because they say were not going to leave until the Military Council hands over the power to the. Civilian council i was just delighted to see that i was talking to the people you feel how angry they are and they are afraid that the Military Council the straight part of them much trying to. Trust them that they have to move in and they will never do it according to what i heard and i quoting what my impression is when i talk to the people now the Military Council has made some concessions that announce anticorruption measures arrested members of Bush Years Party bush or himself is behind bars Public Opinion is just not buying what the army is selling what exactly do they want. Thats a very interesting question because everyone one something if you have to
evacuate you have different Political Parties you have different groups you have different. People saying we want peace and we want that there is no you see what all they want to also very creative in fact that they are saying but what but they dont want that one thing is they dont want the Military Council to stay in power because they are afraid that this is all the kind of. Place i think kerry i think they will stay longer in power and thats getting or as. A ten year is its too dark but we have to also mention that the two sides from the protector of the Opposition Parties theres no unity so that the Military Council is taking a branch attractive that i think youre about to buy to get the power through. The oceans leave. The next days and the next weeks or months i think this is good again which is happening you know i sometimes theyre severely as the people choice

To ukraine now where the comedian of a lot of mirrors alinsky has won a Landslide Victory in the president ial election has taken Seventy Three percent of
the vote while the incumbents Petter Pershing Go has managed only to secure twenty four percent while its a Crushing Defeat for your great political establishment especially given that selenski has no political experience. It was a stunning victory for a political novice. Ski has up ended the status quo in ukraine shortly after exit polls delivered him a landslide he addressed his supporters on social media. Team but he simply hello everyone which follows i wanted to thank all of you for joining me on this journey for the four months of important work great work that you did we did it together we united ukraine we united our People United our country on the streets you know and thats. The result was a bit of blow for incumbent Petro Poroshenko who conceded defeat the divide to stay
in politics par shank a had presented himself as an experienced paris hands but it seems many ukrainians were looking for a fresh approach where we can says i think well see some changes lets hope there for the better and that ukraine see some real developments of the eclipse but you know the most important thing is that the war and solution should remain there will be a dual system weve nothing to lose things cant get any worse than they already selenski is young and full of Energy Planning care if hes an actor and a clown were going to see some big changes hell be better than four schenkel one hundred percent. But if you craniums believe fail to solve their problems its not clear his alinsky will either the closest hes being to political power is playing a fictional president in a sitcom.

To remain in office till twenty thirty all voters are expected to back the changes supporters say these words give us c. C. More time to complete Major Projects critics however it would mean more author terry in rule as he came to power after leading a Military Coup in twenty thirteen. Well earlier i spoke to michael sun a journalist in cairo and i began by asking her how voting has been going so far but there seems to be plenty of people at the polls that i and other journalists this its also been incredibly difficult to find anyone who says that they voted
against the change is and that is in part because many people that i spoke with who simply unaware that had no cap against these amendments and even exist and that is in large part due to suppression of a kind of opposition clearly i asked and. Arresting someone who held up a sign telling people they would vote no yesterday and theres also been claims from different gyptian authorities that there have been International ElectionMonitoring Missions here open seeing whats hap
