The further we drive the more sawmills ling finds its important for him to record every discovery. But combing out illegal activity can be perilous in cambodia.

The a use is the deal only proceed if its convinced vietnam is acting lawfully but there is no doubt about this illegal cross border trade its something even high ranking officials in the government it made it out i mean there is still timber going.

Celebrations in sudan up to the military rulers and protest leaders agree in principle to pave the way for a Transitional Government. Ellen malcolm devika polony watching us is there live from doha its good to have your company also coming up a conditional cease fire is reached in syrias lost province as the death toll continues to rise from fighting in the. Puerto rico gets a new governor after weeks of protests but theres uncertainty over his fate. The democratic republic of congo raises to contain an ebola epidemic with warnings it could last for 3 years. Sudans military groups have filed a constitutionally agreement to pave the way for a return to democracy now the deal is expected to lead to the formation of a Transitional Government which will run sedan until elections in 2022 but its not been signed yet and the details will be discussed for there on saturday according to the Draft Agreement though a rapid Paramilitary Force in support forces blamed for the deadly crackdown against protesters will be brought under the command of the armed forces shelob ellis reports. In the early hours of saturday an announcement that sudans military giunta and the Opposition Coalition had agreed on how to govern the country they fleshed out the details on the makeup and functions of a Transitional Government until elections in 3 years in an illicit im very pleased in the name of the african mediation and to respect to delegations to declare to the sudanese people and the International Community that the 2 delegations are fully agreed on the constitutional project. Was. The reaction was immediate on the streets of carter. Announcing the deal African Union envoy Mohamed Haass on the bot gave no detail about the contents of the declaration he said talks are continuing on how and when it would be signed. During the negotiations the military council ceded to demands for justice over the killing of at least 6 people including 4 schoolchildren at a protest earlier in the wake of 9 soldiers were detained was a victory for tains of thousands of sudanese who had marched demanding justice for the deaths they get if i get that and that it was certainly a horrible massacre we pray the situation improves and that the right of the students are not neglected blood for blood and punishment is a must was the protesters have been flexing their muscle since december. Restoration started with the economy president Omar Al Bashir was in the cross his the number of protests grew along with their demands until bashir was removed in a military coup in april general says off the military council the protesters demanded civilians take the lead in the transition they start a decision outside the army he calls his forcing military rulers to begin talks over how to share power. On june 3rd Security Forces raided that demonstration they killed more than 100 people and injured many more talks resume to months later mediated by the African Union anything the 1st breakthrough came on july 17th leading to the signing of a political agreement between the military and the Opposition Coalition they agreed on and live in person Transitional Council with representatives from both sides and a rotating leadership ah. The disagreements had remained over the wooding of constitutional changes now with the details agreed and assigning imminent sudanese people have a roadmap to a more peaceful future shelagh ballasts 0. So far the 2 sides have agreed on a stablish ng 3 governing bodies and this is how to work its Sovereign Council over on the government it will have 5 members from the Opposition Forces of freedom and change 5 from the military and an 11 independent civilian and executive council will have ministers mostly chosen by the opposition but the military will pick the defense and interior ministers both sides have agreed on a Prime Minister though the name has not been revealed yet a Legislative Assembly will be dominated by the Opposition Alliance with the remaining seats going to parties which were in part of the ousted president bashir as government believe lawrence is a professor at George Washington university and he says the negotiations lack transparency. Its remarkable to me that no one elected any of these people and theyre working out a 33 month plan for a very elaborate power sharing arrangements and very elaborate schemes to rebuild the country and to make institutions and systemic change without any elections which happened more than 3 years or 3 and a half years into the future and so its just its just very interesting to me that you know we have sort of breakthrough after breakthrough from these 2 negotiating sides usually prompted by violence and then announcements of of of of of steps forward that are often opaque and the processes of paper so while sudanese do have a right to rejoice here and they are moving you know towards peace and away from war i dont think this is really systemically change yet this is rather a sort of pact did transition towards something that isnt quite clear yet and then in terms of the government if sovereignty is with this 11 person Sovereignty Council then then and then the cabinet will be sort of technocratic and then there would be this more sort of named legislature all of whose powers would of course derive from this constitutional declaration we havent seen yet but also whatever the Sovereign Council gives them and so the personnel are very important this been an interesting discussion lately in sudan about who will be Prime Minister but i think the key question before that is what powers will the Prime Minister have and those have not been worked out yet. After months of bombing in northwest syria the government has announced a conditional cease far as trikes and it led province the last rebel stronghold have now stopped the truce has brokered during peace talks in kazakhstan the opposition says they will stick to the deal as long as the government doesnt violate it under simmons was at those talks in north. In accordance with a communique that didnt use the word ceasefire syrian state media had already announced a conditional truce demanding the withdrawal of weaponry from a buffer zone or little if the Syrian Government blames the turkish for not fulfilling their role in the so she agreement last year. How the muslim you term this has not materialized on the contrary the number of terrorists in and lead has increased namely foreign fighter terrorists in and leave. The opposition despite reservations agreed to a truce but accused the regime of violating the sushi agreement taking advantage of a withdrawal of fighters so they could launch what it called their cunning criminal attacks and their spokesman gave this war. Right now there is no trust and there will be no trust in the future when it comes with glory the heavy weapons no heavy weapons will be withdrawn unless there are a written guarantee that but russia says the biggest fighting group brands as terrorists. H. T. S. Must be eliminated turkey has an obligation according to such a memorandum to do it if they cannot do it alone we can render them some help from us. Thats why we talked also today with the opposition. That if they are interested and if they need some help also from the Russian Federation to fight russia and other rebels and in a glib zone then they can count we can do it. No one could measure the depth of distrust between the warring sides after more than 8 years of war hundreds of thousands dead moment 10000000 people displaced then theres the differences between the guarantors of these talks iran and russia on one side turkey on the other each with their differing interests. Nevertheless for so many traumatized civilians theres hope of some with spike from the bombing but no one needs reminding the deals done by leaders in high places have let the people of syria down so many times hundreds simmons aljazeera no salt kazakstan. But theyre already concerns about how long that ceasefire can hold in a hotter has the view from ghazi and tap on the turkey syria border. The guns have fallen silent but what happens next is not clear this is a very ambiguous ceasefire according to the Syrian Government is that it is conditional on the implementation of the sochi deal now the opposition saying that we wont withdraw our heavy weapons unless we have guarantees from turkey and russia and you have High Authority to share which is the main Opposition Group but the Strongest Group in saying that we reserve the right to retaliate if the truce is violated without without even mentioning whether or not it plans to implement that sochi memorandum h. T. S. Was the group that refused to withdraw from a Demilitarized Zone making it very very difficult for turkey to create this cell and in fact this is why russia kept on criticizing turkey saying youre not fulfilling your commitments under the sochi deal will turkey be able to do that this time around so there is a lot of concern that this is just a short Term Agreement or an arrangement at the end of the day we keep talking about the opposition and the government but it is russia and turkey that brokered this deal the 2 powers who support their warring sides on the ground and both of them really have to reach some sort of a compromise because turkey had political leverage if the rebels were Holding Ground the government was not able to make any significant advances the russians and the Syrian Government were targeting civilian areas killing civilians pressuring the rebels to try to surrender so there was a need to reach some sort of an agreement this specially since turkey and russia dont want to rupture their relationship but whether or not it will be short term or long term well we have to wait and see. While the u. N. Has welcomed the cease fire. According to the office of coronation of humanitarian affairs nor strikes have been reported since midnight but there are reports of artillery shelling in northern hama the pause comes after 3 months of intense hostilities that have resulted in close to 500 civilians killed and the displacement of more than 440000 people the un reminds all parties to the conflict and those who have influence over them of their obligations to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure and the principles of distinction and proportionality enshrined in the International Humanitarian law.
