In the sky and when that impact rumbled across the sea. I have a clear. Son line of sight above the haze bang into a beautifully clear with sky there was no. Explosion in the sky there was no rocket streaking there was no plane coming down in flames and if there had been i would have seen it. Because i was looking right out i mean im. A student me aware of my surroundings when im at sea. It didnt happen. Until rebel is a pilot with more than 52 Years Experience and then a rose by sea engineer we asked him where the flight 990 might have been hit by an. I believe me thats the missile did not hit the sack croft if we look at all the elements of the evidence that we weve received. Evidence from witnesses did not see any missiles in the air that night which was a very clear night before right all stations that have the aircraft on their screen saw no missiles being fired at that aircraft as we discussed earlier the debris field was fairly isolated and only found 400. 00 metres apart which would not have been the case of course if im a solid hit the aircraft at 33000 feet. Because of the 10 hour flight time 2 crews were required. Copilot jamail alba treaty was one of the members of the relief crew he would feature heavily in the n. T. S. B. Investigation 20 minutes after takeoff took over from audio on one copilot of the active crew. Only 2 days after finding the cockpit voice recorder leaks from the n. T. S. B. Theyd made out leads to accuse each time a loud batouti of crashing the plane. I deeply regret. That some advantage benefit sources have led the news media to speculate on undocumented information protect way from one of the most sensitive investigative tools at our disposal oh my goodness. There were leaks on every investigation i had any responsibility for oversee. Tina usa or for 27 others i had people sign confidentiality agreements and if there was not leak then the media would take someones information and make it appear there was a lick this is a. Back up pilot egyptian commits suicide and mass murder and end of discussion just open and shut case and that troubled me had to make a whole lot of sense this fellow as far as we could tell comes from a very well established a heavily back in egypt had military officer and an unblemished record one of her senior pilots about ready to retire all sorts of reasons to stay alive why would he commit suicide and kill over 200 people. I pulled 19th 2118 months after the crash the n. T. S. B. Issued its draft report finding that the probable cause of the accident was a result of the relief 1st offices Flight Control inputs i thought the n. T. S. B. Report was flawed in a number of areas. They kind of jumps on the conclusion that the handling pilot was mishandling the aircraft. With the finger pointed at suicide however i think they neglected to look at the other relevant evidence that was found not only from the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder but also. Parts of the elevator control system. In sausalito nori was one of 2 translators hired by the n. T. S. B. To translate the cockpit voice recordings. In a photo of the uta had in motion with a belt. It can show a sheet that thehotel and can often im smiling. When i do. So back to the atlanta hog in motion that they can one have had time to know mike enough that i think you have to be fucking fia. Achievement a cockpit voice recorder with those units l. T. Here but she is out of the out that im a open youre going back to get them fight that i had forgotten. Above all else what really seems to have condemned the 1st officer was his use of a common arabic phrase to a cult to which the n. T. Is to be translated as i rely on god more properly it is i put my trust in god this phrase was interpreted as the final prayer of a man intent on suicide and mass murder his motivation. At 149361 the night of the crash the flight data recorder shows a Rapid Movement of the right elevator the autopilot disengaged is followed by the copilot 2nd use of the i rely on god fries the throttle leave is a move from the crews power settings to idle fighters move between 3 and 4 degrees now use down the plane begins to die in 12 seconds altitude he repeats the same phrase 9 times the captain returning from the toilet asks whats happening. Now but to the repeats the i rely on god fries and a mosque a corner fortunes out. The occult a look at. What. A list of what he needs so tell us the name of the music of today. Well how many kids. Then of those of us of a like him could see the little fellas you know and then as it is over the heart of it he took us as it did then eileen went out of course. But jim hall remembers the initial response by egyptian personnel was somewhat different it was a general from egypt that came in the 1st general take over and was the Investigative Team and this was the last time i was to see him. Reported to me that it appeared that there was a problem with their pallet that had caused the invest problem the accident. That person was a vice marshal mom do as he has not spoken publicly on this issue since the crash. We were eventually able to contact him on a very bad phone line from egypt. Who are well what i. Was told by jim the whole he said that when you listen to the cockpit voice recorder you had to look like weve got a problem with that. Is that correct. You dont remember her work or her thank you. For your call once he reported back to cairo which he said he had. And. His that individual and the team. The majority of them returned to cairo and were replaced by another Investigative Team. That. And at that point in time. We had the official line from egypt that it had to be the problem with the aircraft were you recalled because the 1st comments. Or a photograph or the art you have are. Very high. Very very here very hard work walker very again right right you were in the line of your military both. Here very. Careful in your minded do you think but to be deliberately crashed the plane. Crew of course no. Let me put another scenario to you got a very busy n. T. S. B. You know t. W. I. 800 lots of other investigations it kind of feels like they heard this phrase and they thought all thats easy pilot suicide thats totally wrong. And insult to bind us together. We need. Choose to wait we were asked to take this investigation to begin with we did it. And a good job was done by the investigators the n. T. S. B. Has a worldwide reputation. For factual investigations and where we have problems with staff. In terms of workload we just extend the time for the investigation. We tried to tying the cop but voice recordings from the n. T. S. B. But they are legally able to release to the f. B. I. Also refused to release the recordings referring asked back to the n. T. S. B. But finally after 3 years of searching and long after all interviews for this film or completed we have time to copy of the cockpit voice recorders. Flight 990. 00 took off from j. F. K. At 121. 00 and climbed to normal. But i think. You saw it on the flight it to the 3 you know. About 20 minutes after takeoff the relief 1st officer. Comes forward and says he doesnt want to slate and suggest that he release the active 1st officer i doubt. He will but i thought you. And i know. That any. Event there. Was. This what. 27 minutes after takeoff the captain goes to the toilet 12 seconds later we hear an unintelligible frights followed by what was translated as i rely on a. Pet dog and as an aviation safety expert with 42 Years Experience he teaches a crash investigation. We also asked him to look at the n. T. S. B. Report. What about the use of that oft repeated frights. Yeah its important is it very important not really i mean if your in danger your lifes in danger and youre threatened youre going to say whatever you want to say and youre going to say rapidly in this case she rapidly less than a 2nd between each one of them statements of making that statement i mean this guys scared or something going on that he doesnt know he doesnt understand hes not trained hes not capable of handling this got him scared i mean id be saying something to. None of the egyptians involved in the 990. 00 investigation would agreed to be interviewed without the permission of the government this wasnt given. At the time however the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority or e. C. I who by now were doing their own investigation issued a furious or a bottle of the n. T. S. B. Report on. The n. T. S. B. You selected facts and speculative conclusions to support a predetermined theory and particularly the n. T. S. B. Is conclusion that the proper book codes of the accident is that deliberate action of the 1st officer is not supported by any evidence of intent or motive it is inconceivable that the n. T. S. B. Can credibly proffer a probable cause was based on pilot action when it admits the existence of unexplained damage to the critical of the theater component offered to president mubarak through ambassador the ambassador here. Listen to the cockpit voice recorder yourself. As an aviator so you can set and listen to it in your own environment. And so. You know we want i wanted. To. Edge every investigation. To be sure that we were doing the very best job we could. The cockpit voice recording last for a total of 31 minutes 45 seconds. Per head of whatever mio but melanie. What if you have a survivor a man wants to crash a plane so every was trying to clear the cockpit he was pretty lucky that the captain wanted to go to the toilet in exactly the right time if he wanted to play the cup why didnt they lock the door why didnt he push the elevators all the why ford why did he retired the throttle when you would push the thought it was all the way forward ignoring taken since none of that makes common sense you know again the report speaks for itself im glad to participate in the interview. Because i have Great Respect for aljazeera and your viewing audience. In regard to the report. It is there and available. On the n. T. S. B. Website for any wondering. And to the work of other federal agencies cast doubt on the reports conclusions. In the 1st century. The growing up in the United States i learned that the 1st amendment is really key to being a freedom of the soul going to be something new for men and women for the resources that are available but its an aljazeera story is that we just dont tell you what the subjects of the story want to know the government is not going to do the one thing the demonstrators want to apologize for thats what aljazeera does we ask the questions so that we can get closer to the truth but in. The pages of this exercise bill code unspeakable mannerly compiled testimonies of victims of congolese musson. As this intimate evidence finds its way to International Courts the Central African republic is plunged into further. And intricate tanev of people and a nation crippled by recent history. A free comes to of a 2 part series on aljazeera. Their future problem is something which is or Geopolitical Mission thats for Governments International institutions to manage and the 1000 refugees dont have the right to walk freely on the other boards and will freely as far and as much as they want its multinational colonialism this is a very im not and over the democratic process these companies they just want the money europes forbidden colony episode one on aljazeera. Hello there im mr with the headlines on aljazeera an agreement has been reached between sudans ruling military john to end a coalition of opposition and protest groups to share power during a transition period leading up to elections and mediation from the African Union says a council will be set up with rotating leadership between the military and civilians this will last for about 3 theyll also launch whats described as a transparent and independent investigation into recent violent events. We would like to reassure all the Political Forces and military movements as well as all the youth the men and women involved in this transition that this is a comprehensive agreement that doesnt exclude anyone and reflects the aspirations of the entire sudanese people. This agreement paves the way for the creation of Transitional Authority to choose should and that will implement Political Economic and social reforms one of the most important priorities of this government will be to ensure pace and conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the killing of protesters and bringing the killers to justice. New details have emerged about the attack on a Migrant Detention Center in libya the u. N. Says it was hit by 2 strikes and there are reports that gods shots at refugees and migrants who were trying to escape the bombing that these accounts have been disputed the ministry of justice in tripoli says 16 people have been confirmed dead and choose days strikes with 77 injured the u. N. Recognized government says world Khalifa Haftar forces to blame but have to reject that allegation. Hong kong student protesters say they werent told talks with the government unless they held in public chief executive kerry last had offered to meet them in private a small number of demonstrators ransacked the Legislative Council building on monday hundreds of thousands of largely Peaceful Protesters have been calling on them to scrap a controversial bill that would allow extradition to Mainland China u. S. President donald trump has delivered an address in front of washingtons Lincoln Memorial during u. S. Independence Day Celebrations its the 1st such speech by a president since 951. 00 opponents accuse him of politicizing the holiday and they say the speech a military parade aimed at boosting his Reelection Campaign and are a waste of taxpayers money those are the headlines now its back to aljazeera wild to stay with us. You know im. On the 31st of up time and 999 egypt air flight 990 disappeared from ride and crashed into the atlantic about 111 kilometers of the east coast of the us with over 200 casualties. The investigation into the crash was conducted by the National Transportation safety board or n. T. S. B. In washington d. C. But we will consent that it hadnt and havent the true cause of the accident when the federal Aviation Administration required a change in the design of boeings him 67 in 2014 we decided to revisit the case. Because american citizens died in the crash and there was the possibility of a criminal act be iced out were among the fairest on the same in fact once the n. T. S. B. Had heard the cockpit voice recordings it wanted the f. B. I. To take over the investigation the f. B. I. Refused i repeated request for an interview referring us to their website and the history of the Boston Office it can be found a very brief mention of the f. B. I. 990 investigation. The f. B. I. Concluded that the tragedy was neither a criminal know what terrorist incident. This funding was not published until 2010 about 10 years after the crash yet the n. T. S. B. Did not attract its report or reconsider its conclusions. It was clear. In whatever language there was a struggle going on in the cockpit of the 767 but how was there a struggle what all we had was a cat come back inside. Whats happening whats happening and if you read the. Rest of this struck script that has been the text recording. It well youll see it. In flight 990 s last moments the captain returned to the flight deck and gave frantic instructions to his copilot. That night. That. He did. Theres no evidence according to the that the the data that was issued by the n. T. S. B. To indicate that it was a struggle in the cockpit so if im going to if im going to kill everybody and myself included i would have locked the cockpit kept anybody from forcibly prevent me from doing what i want to do been hes not somethings going on that scared this guy and in the end hes still hes got to go react and he freezes he doesnt know what to do and then the captain comes back and try to help him and you see him function as a team to try to recover the fly the airplane. Disconnecting the old i pod was another reason that suspicion kind tourist unjam out but today. A year after the crash the Egyptian Government asked the n. T. S. B. To interview captain jamal out and he had flown on the same bearing 767 from Newark Airport to los angeles the day before the crash. Captain aaron told investigators that the auto pilot was hunting for the glide slide during the approach to ally hicks and that because he was uncomfortable with the autopilots performance he had disconnected it and landed the plane and. I think happened what my team saw happen and what we put forth. Is that albert tutti. Who is monitoring this on a lot of. Felt something or heard something that wasnt quite right. Here power many many hours experience hes trained and the 1st thing you do and suddenly youre going on youre not quite sure what it is youre the shutters up if you disconnect at all you want to you know its you want to get a few whats going on about whats problem here and we think that n. C. Just like that out of the leverage on the back was more than he hold down straight up now we also know that this same problem has occurred on a number of other operators of that same type American Airlines entered into Charles De Gaulle they had a similar problem with pitching of the and stabilizer problems and elevator problems. And 2 or twice with their own mexico on the same airplane. One of the main concerns the egyptians had with the n. T. S. B. Investigation was with what became known as the im intelligent bill fries 27 minutes after takeoff the captain says hes going to the toilet theres a conversation between him and al but before the flight big door closes. 12 seconds later another voice is heard saying words which the investigation describes as and im intelligible fries. That that amount of your family and you had for the emotional family not the sweet mess im at the hydraulic when i see them at the welcome back to me that the malignants outfit will sweep me in some hour we miss a law or been hey a new home may need to look that scrape one has that some at the hydraulic will ask us to some really have that consultant be 2nd in the back that much that im not and had that is a consult its got good will say i go oh i shocks the. But in a quote had. The n. T. S. B. Report says the 5 arabic speaking members of the Analysis Group concur that they do not recognize this as an arabic word words or phrase the entire group agrees that 3 syllables are heard and the accent is on the 2nd syllable for arabic speaking Group Members believed that they heard words similar to control that one English Speaking member believes that he heard a word similar to hydraulic before other members believe that the words were an intelligible. Like being t. S. P. We also found the socalled unintelligible frys difficult because a lot of quality of the recording. We went to sounded to new use techniques to clean the sound on ad copy that may not have been a viable during the original investigation. That would be indicating something is happening with the across those unexpected and hes trying to assist the copilot in. Noticing what was happening at the time. That would be dynamite i think from my point you know i mean extraordinary important piece of. Why wouldnt why would anybody say either control or hydraulic if there wasnt something wrong with the system they realize now theyre going to big problem. But they never of the never been in town. The plains pitcher or up and down movement is controlled by its elevators in a 767 the elevators are operated by a system which terminates in a hydraulic jack now and is a pallet control act o. P. C. At. Each elevator has 3 p. C. s so that if one of them jams the elevator can still be controlled by the other to an important part of the mechanical linkage that transmits the pilots control signals to the p. C. I. Is known as the bellcrank assembly at the time of the crash these were constructed with rivets that were designed to bright boy shia in the event of a p. C. I. Jam this would disconnect the control inputs from the jammed p. C. I. And allow the other 2 p. C. s to continue working on the 6 bellcrank assemblies 5 were recovered from the wreckage of 90 the rivets on no 5 was shown the n. T. S. B. Noted that this might have been caused by the impact of egypt the a 990 with the c im not going to attempt to. Get into detail engineering discussions with you. Because number one i dont have the time nor do i have the professional experience to get into those discussions. At 150 i am the captain returns and asks what is happening the elevators begin moving slowly downwards away from their original positions pushing the plane down. Engine start late is a move from Engine Running to cut off the speed brake is deployed the captain says pull pull with me pull with me. And suddenly the recording and. Everything. We know from right dot dot after its initial dive the pine actually climbed again reaching at least 24000 feet before it finally dived into the sea at some point the plane will start broke up we know this because the wreckage was found in 2 distinct debris fields 366 meters apart was that Something Else broke they they were over they couldnt keep that leverage to keep thing going they couldnt level it off some or all that or play in the back there time and they never got there and if you never got there and the aircraft descended and accelerated to a speed just below the speed of sound which was way beyond the design limits of the aircraft. And some point in that descent both pilots managed to recover the aircraft into a climb but both engines have indicated indicated by the flight data recorder to be shut down. The speed alone would have caused. Aerodynamic forces only at craft weigh about the design limits of the aircraft and resulting in. Being detached from the. 7 months into the investigation the if i received a detailed safety recommendation from the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority urging an examination of the procedure put checking alibied belt cracks and they were the newest directive was issued by the f. A. A. To check the shared rivets or possibility of shared rivets in the bellcrank system in the elevator control system of the back of the airplane. So a directive was put out to the operators around the world and out of 152. 00 that were found defective 52. 00 of those were replaced and consequently boeing actually bought out a completely new system to replace the the bellcrank system at that time. These airworthiness directives were released in november 2000 and ordered that all 767 operators to perform a one time functional check of one shear rivet in all 6 elevator pca bellcrank assemblies within 30 days reworking or replacing the bellcrank assembly if needed. Failure of 2 of the 3 bellcrank assemblies on one side can result in that single elevator surface but not both surfaces moving to a hard over position independent of the pilot command resulting in a significant pitch upset recoverable by the crew. Failure of all 3 bellcrank assemblies on one side can cause an elevator hard over that may result in loss of control ability of the airplane. Most people remember this case now to see one of happenstance agree with us it was about. The n. T. S. B. Report shows that it relied heavily on dot who supplied by boeing well if you know youre going to look to the manufacturer who knows more about the vehicle. Than the manufacturer of the vehicle and. So we have in. Whether its air bus whether its embry or whether its a russian not a faction aircraft you know we under the Party Process include the individuals that have information that factual information that would help the investigators in terms of putting together the facts its worth noting that the n. T. S. B. Had previously stating that boeing had withheld an important report that could have explained the cause of the crash of t. W. A. Flight 800 in 9096 that statement was issued just 2 days before the crash should be debated now and. That is the case then ive seen situations where manufacturers put their own economic interests are not forthcoming with the factual information when that happens its extremely disappointing but it does happen and it is happened. On numerous occasions but the good investigative work usually if there is a situation will will determine. Where someone is acting out of their self interest rather than trying to act out of the incentives interest of worldwide aviation safety. We asked buying twice to participate in this documentary they refused saying their comments are included in the final accident report they said none of the mechanical Failure Modes examined during the investigation were consistent with the f. D. R. Data because the f. D. R. Elevated positions did not displace to the positions predicted by the failure mode and effects analysis during the initial pitch over and the elevator motions after the initial pitch over indicate that both surfaces were functioning normally. A memo issued in december 2000 by the chairman of egypt air mohamed fire mariah on explains how egypt air managed to reduce insurance premiums on of slate because of evidence absolving the company of responsibility for the accident it effectively how bowing responsible although the Government Island egypt there arrived at this conclusion it did not knowledge and lawsuit against boeing instead the Egyptian Government lodged a case in the name of the Agent Insurance Company accusing boeing of being responsible for the crash because of a malfunction in the tail elevator assembly however the case was lost because the original contract for the purchase of the plane registered as soup gap stated that boeing could not be held responsible for any injury or death of any person or loss or damage to any property including the aircraft is that we miss. An. With that that if. I began to be meek about miki its an empty net i mean he said it get that mean. Or should it get added it didnt mean. And now i have to look at it and now im a school that we repaired with thought oh bt came in a young kid and said that in hades point the boy kind of pioneered this on these complex cases where youve got a product issue and youve got a aviation issue. And boy really would take the lead they would go reach out to the other syndicates youre defending terror they might be in say here lets make a deal right now before we get started on this. We have some exposure you have some exposure we dont know alice hoglan to play out but we do know that its in our common interest to get these cases resolved sooner not later and with less money and they put together a working package an agreement with arbitrary percentages to be adjusted later by arbitration and out of the light of day and someone has picked as stalking horse thats generally the airline because they have the correct relationship for the families and they are given a bag of money as they already have made up of these various participants very secret so youre saying that even though it looks like boeing never applied the would have been a contribution from boeing i would say that there was contact we know there was reduced in how much. This contention seems to be supported by the records of a case heard by a new york court on the 18th of october 2001. The records show that at the hearing egypt is loya conceded the ilads right to sue bowing he told the judge that egypt it would pay for compensation and that boeing should not be asked for any financial commitments in the aftermath a. That settlement even of power and well like a proven to have been responsible for the acts of a. Communist well im. Back at our best me i know i can then but then as im hot coffee at that hour when misty if youre game and serious he has a. Lot of ls he rob again and many key ally has. Been missed. In january 24th tape more than 14 years after the crash the federal Aviation Administration issued a new air worthiness directive that shows that the problem did exist with 767 elevators. All of the replacement of all bellcrank that still had share rivets with newly designed belt cranks that did not. The if i only said we are showing this 80 to prevent continued operation with the yielded or failed share rivets in the elevator p. C. L. Cranks assemblies and to prevent certain failure or jams in the elevator system from causing a hard over of the elevator surface resulting in a significant pitch upset and possible loss of control of the airplane. Thats after the fact fix and youre going to youre going to discourage people from from correcting mistakes if you hit them with that or the fact you had to prove what was wrong and. As we were finishing this film there were 2 crashes involving boeing 737 max aircraft the 1st was on the 29th of october 28th and 12 minutes after takeoff from jakarta indonesia the 2nd was an Ethiopian Airlines flight which came down on the 10th of march 2019 killing or 157. 00 passengers on board the similarities between the 2 crashes caused several countries to ground or ban them excite aircraft from their yes buys. Boeing is an Incredible Company they are. Working very very hard right down. And totally though very quickly come up with the answer but until they do the planes are grounded. These incidents prompted the u. S. Department of justice to investigate the licensing and marketing certification of buying 737 max aircraft issued by the federal Aviation Administration meanwhile boeing has said it does not respond to or comment on questions concerning legal matters with internal litigation or governmental inquiries is it right to say that i didnt see like the federal Aviation Administration and the n. T. S. B. Are frightened of Companies Like boeing. Most definitely. They have to be the. The manufacturer the larger it is the larger the arms and the reach is hard to it i mean you just if you look at boy look at how far reaching their capabilities are to they have more government. Solicitors in washington d. C. Thats what im good their products are approved theyre a jordi of their companies sells to the United States government. The inquiries into the 273 max i crashes will no doubt continue for months even years to come borrowing has already conceded that it might some mistakes when releasing this to model airplanes but there have been no concessions from anyone involved in the investigation of flight 90. 8 its a very sad situation that the or far it is have pointed the finger at a man who is trying to save himself and consequently all the passengers behind him. After almost 20 years this may come as cold comfort for the families that lost loved ones in the crash of egypt and 990 especially for the family of 1st officer john i out but 2.

Sudans military council and opposition leaders reach a power sharing agreement. On the whole robin this is and is there a line from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 30 minutes an international roue over the british seizure over the rainy of the oil tanker iran says its illegal as the u. S. Applauds the move. Also student protesters in hong kong say that theyll hold talks with city leaders but incest those talks must be in public and a stalemate on the front lines in northwest syria the government loses hundreds of troops as fighting drags on. Welcome to the program of sudans a ruling military junta and a coalition of opposition and protest groups have reached an agreement to share power a mediator from the African Union says the council will be set up with rotating leadership between the military and civilians the council will operate for 3 years leading up to elections next year bryant has more. In khartoum the crowds gathered chanting for the revolution just hours after opposition groups announced a deal with the military council there reminding the joint to it will be held accountable for its actions. Our revolution against injustice they say the military is on a just it shows the scale of the challenges facing the partners in sudans new power sharing deal. This agreement paves the way for the creation of Transitional Authority institutions that will implement Political Economic and social reforms one of the most important priorities of this government will be to ensure pace and conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the killing of protesters and bringing the killers to justice is the coalition of opposition groups and the military council have been at loggerheads for months they only came back to the negotiating table this week after intensive mediation by ethiopia and the African Union but the bulk of. The 2 sides agreed to establish a Sovereign Council to be shared between the military and civilians for 3 years or more but also agreed to create a civilian government that is nationalist competence and independent under the leadership of a Prime Minister that has the same qualities. The talks broke down in may over who would lead a Transitional Government in the crisis deepened days later when Security Forces stormed a protest camp killing more than 100 People Forces led by this man mohammed harm done doug alone known as him 80 were accused of leading the violence. We would like to reassure all the Political Forces and military movements as well as all the youth the men and women involved in this transition that this is a comprehensive agreement that doesnt exclude anyone and reflects the aspirations of the entire sudanese people some say there will be no accountability while he may hes involved the problem is late hes we are not really sure what it. Is not in the right. Not. Not power sharing its not our. Muscle and this is how this is you know. Its going to be really hard. Any sort of. Antigovernment demonstrations began last year with protesters calling for a long time leader Omar Al Bashir to go the military took over in a code the process does argue the Ruling Council is a continuation of the shias regime demanding a transition to civilian government. Opposition groups say they hope this day it will be the beginning of a new era for alexia brian al jazeera. Versus reiterate the details of the agreement mediators say the 2 sides will establish a Sovereign Council by rotation between the military and civilians for 3 years or slightly more theyll be an independent investigation into the violence that killed dozens of demonstrators and wounded hundreds of others and both sides have agreed to postpone the establishment of a Legislative Council. But the issue is a political analyst at the Sudan Solidarity Group south africa he joins me now via skype from pretoria good to have you with us on the program.
