Yes some people though not accept this maybe this is the last point of the 2.7 soldiers 7 civilians very strong maybe maybe. I can satisfy my soul yes my office us well. There is great concern among many Sudanese and think in particular of Darfur these people Nuba Mountains Blue Nile about the fact that General is the head of your military council. Is Number 2 both are accused of serious war crimes abuses in Darfur in particular elsewhere in the country and civil. How do you respond to that because they say these are people who need to be punished not ruling us. But they are by the people there was a war in the fall between the militias it was not a game it's civilians it is of many civilians died there were abuses against civilians who met his parent the tree group fighting with the government is accused of huge numbers of human rights abuses in Darfur he will never be accepted by many Darfur he's for example now he's accepted moment of the phone to see.

What you are saying no because my duty Also if you understand. What's. Going on but I've talked to hundreds of Darfur is people in the Nuba Mountains and southern Sudan have accused your armed forces of abuses President Bashir is wanted for genocide by the International Criminal Court the accusations are. Not a genius like you do not like. It not like genocide again aside never happening in Sudan if and when we get a. Sort of military civilian Supreme Council a civilian government would it have the freedom for example to open up human rights trials if necessary would it have the freedom to withdraw Sudanese troops from Yemen for example. The full freedom. To be in front of the full freedom and they would have the full freedoms of the site if they decided to you have to use the wall for a minimum of course would you and the others on the transitional council be prepared for example to give an amnesty to people like. Sentenced to death to let other rebel leaders cheaper labor him and why did. We come back we're giving them. It was a come. To the people. And it's really really. Passed after a general said that the Halleck saying the rebel leaders are free and able to return to Sudan interesting to see if any of those trusts him in the military council enough to take up his offer and the other thing he was really keen to push was ask more it's chaos we don't want Sudan to descend into civil war he said the protesters will say well the easiest way of making sure that happen is to hand over power to us the civilian. News Day from the b.b.c. World Service more from James in hearts here and throughout the morning but let's take you to Venezuela now leading figures in the Venezuelan administration have again pledge their allegiance to President Maduro following u.s. Claims that he had been ready to flee the country the u.s. Is insisting that some of those offering support to the president's have been plotting to overthrow him all this after deadly clashes on the streets of the capital Caracas and the release of video by. Mr matters political opponent showing him alongside a number of men in military uniform speaking at an event in Washington President Trump said he was sending our prayers to the people of Venezuela in their righteous struggle for freedom but as our correspondent Barbara Starr from Caracas the government of President Maduro is presenting a united front.

Who the coup plotters reject them and restrain them as well and to the armed forces unified He says under the command of our laws and constitution. Do you wish. Next to him the defense minister who the American said had been in negotiations with the opposition not any more it seems they thought we could be bought as it were mercenaries he said. This is all to mirror Square it was the main gathering point for the opposition on Wednesday was a public holiday today you wouldn't know that protests are taking place your traffic is moving normally there are people sitting quietly on the benches. Something is going is now disappointed he was here. The protests and came again thinking he'd find another March.

Has admitted that he didn't have enough support in the military for his call to rebellion earlier in the week now he's talking about a series of strikes leading up to a massive work stoppage but it's not clear how that would work and some like this man rule are skeptical it will be effective he's watching to see what both sides do . You can think the government is preparing itself in an intelligent way for what is coming as it's always in the past. And fortunately for the place has good intentions but I'm not sure he's doing the right thing I'm more radical I believe that a military intervention is necessary. If. You bomb like that and God you know Obama Hi how do you act like any of the. Students at the Central University of Venezuela aren't ready to give up on civil protests street theater highlighting what they say are the deadly dangers of this government art student is one of the organizers did you have hope this week on Tuesday when Mr called for the military to join him Yes And what about now.

Yeah it made landfall a couple of hours ago I'm speaking to you from the state capital of Bhubaneshwar where I where having to rental rain and I can see this wins. Basically making sure that the 3 of them gusting in the powerful winds that we can see at the moment around 60 kilometers and here is the town of Pulte one of the most holy sites for Hindus and what we've seen is that the Cyclon came in a couple of hours ago when they're gusting according to the Indian meterological department up to 210 kilometers an hour and remember yesterday there was this massive evacuation operation that took place across a recess be authorities using cars buses tractors any form of transport that they could use to get people from the low lying areas into these temporary shelters that they have set up but as you can imagine with winds of up to 200 kilometers an hour many people are scared here. This is because we have never Piers these are jobs like whatever. People ask you there are various. Things from this but they're also saying that the electricity will be cut off. The magnitude. Large it is. 44 years people are too scared from to cycle on it it sounds horrendous really wrong hole and the fact that so many people have been evacuated but there's an awful lot more people in the way of this site clone as it goes inland.

Over the next few hours and remember it's going to wide intensify over the course of the next few hours it will be what West Bank all want to India's most populous states could go by I want to the world's largest cities and then into Bangladesh and of course Clare getting people away from the path of the storm is only one task those people who are in shelters at the moment must be wondering what could be left of their houses what could be left of their livelihoods if they're fisherman how will they be able to rebuild them and remember in India and in South Asia when we meet when we see that disaster is coming to the areas like this it is the poorest of the poor he suffer and take the longest time to recover and even though we have we've heard about the preparations what help is standing by once the inevitable happens because this is going to be a major rebuilding exercise isn't it.

World Service is going to be returning to James Copnall in Sudan shortly but let's talk business because says of the gun burger maker Beyond Meat sword on their Wall Street debut as investors bet on the growing popularity of plant based foods Philip is on the business desk this was remarkable entry wasn't it Philip The stock closed up 163 percent on the 1st day of trading values the California company it closed $3800000000.00 u.s. Dollars It's the biggest ever 1st a gain for a company when I say the biggest ever 1st ink. Name of a company ever and I realize I used the word ever in that sentence twice but it was so big I think it deserves a center line it's the money raised from the listings going to give beyond the cash that it requires in order to compete with the other rivals the rich already in there it's a relatively crowded market in this our freezer is the fake meat market a lot of these companies are those impossible food is a nother one that a whole host of them out there I spoke to called the Rangers senior vice president for communications at the tech firm. Asked him if a 163 percent seemed quite large to him it is in the markings of all good start ups at the moment that come to the market bill me has not made a profit yet.

All seen what's happened with digital technology startups things that have gone boom and exploded and people have missed them or they haven't seen it coming people are looking for what's that unique thing that we
