Saddam has formally disbanded the military council that took power after deposing longtime president almost all of the shade in the past few hours the military and protests leaders have announced and 11 member Sovereign Council to run the country for 3 years to the elections are held it will be led by left hand in general the fact that for the 1st 21 months but it has been heading the military council which is ruled the country since but she too was ousted and april has been morgan has more now from current form. The decision by sudans military council to appoint a Sovereign Council comes in line with a power sharing agreement that was signed between the military and the Opposition Coalition known as the forces of freedom and change on saturday now asper that agreement the rule of the suffering council will be largely ceremonial and it will be overseeing the executive council which will be having members nominated by the Opposition Coalition and the Legislative Assembly which 2 thirds of it seats will go to the Opposition Coalition as well the Sovereign Council will have 11 members 5 from the military 5 from the Opposition Coalition and 11th member which has been agreed upon by both sides it will be sworn in on wednesday morning and after that a Prime Minister who has already been nominated by the opposition will be sworn in in the evening this marks the beginning of sudans transitional period which will last for 39 months the 1st time 21. 00 will be headed by the military and the remaining 18 will be headed by civilians its taken more than 8 months of protest and more than 4 months of negotiations for the sudanese to reach to this point and start the transition period but both sides the opposition and the military say theyre now optimistic that soon sudan will start its transitional phase and that the journey to civilian rule has begun. Well its been a long road to sudans new government so how did we get here while months of protests which began on the rise in food and fuel prices led to the military removing a longtime president Omar Al Bashir from office and april the military then assumed power but protesters werent happy they wanted a civilian government and continue to mass at an outside the military headquarters on june 3rd Paramilitary Forces attacked and killed over 100 protesters shortly after protest leaders of the military resume talks mediated by the African Union and ethiopia several power sharing declarations were signed and under the agreements the main Opposition Coalition chose the Prime Minister they selected. An economist well lets get more on all of this now were joined by silly man by a Senior Policy Adviser on sudan for the enough project and hes joining us from west orange in new jersey very good to have you with us on aljazeera so what do you think the Sovereign Councils 1st priorities will be in getting sudan back on track not just after the past 10 months or so of protests but 30 years of bashir. The fed is the top priority should be not to interfere going to or to meddle with the agenda of this government zillion governments have an enormous task to do list the National Economy achieve a lasting peace in sudan evolution of that have been corrupted undestroyed wrigley and the leadership of president Bush University that gets them there for the millions use and the priorities are completely on right now as we speak sudan is facing a many of the Club Disaster and not people come up with any more time than the military should be humbled into accepting the leadership. And this about the share of us kept and place by the military who were 10 and their power do you think that the role of the military in the new government code stymie the reforms that are needed whether its the economy fighting corruption and also accountability. These are real challenges why we call in the military you have been the me. And one of the she was the light. Of the slant and gross or aspirations for freedom or. So of. The sudanese people we saw the powers are now abuse and. So many carlson however there will also be sure that how much of the political and they. Are concerned about is that sort of was a reaction to revelation of the benefits and the tedium it really has. And i believe they were right to resist but starvation is the word of the law in the country that 2 systems could really quickly. Die and sudan will come together to justice and the. Respect for thousands of years of human life and on the subject of accountability and justice can there be accountability for the dozens of protesters at least 100 who were killed on june 3rd when the man who is thought to be of a sponsible for that remains in charge of the military. Never going to do the little among. The might rise will engine a much less a good guy and of course that cant be what all this beautiful says here remember that your cool cool in most. Other areas of the new influenced many of arenas jurors in the country in the lives of. The massacre of. The arm they have to be accountable and economy is crimes of the once youve done able to. Find peace or conciliation a military will have to get responsibility or the share of. Simplicity currently. So is up for me again a matter of done deliberately be a push by both rule of law should. Last about every thank you very much for your time on this video appreciate it sort of live in west orange new jersey thank you its move on to other areas now and italy is in a leadership crisis after Prime Minister just set a contest resigned following divisions in the governing coalition context his deputy far right leader but they are salivating of being an opportunist after salvation he called for a vote of no confidence against conti italys president when i talk to Party Leaders to say the new government can be formed sagna guy a guy reports from abroad. As leader of the government had overseen one of the most challenging coalitions in recent times battling one political crisis after another contests aimed at being a stabilizing force between 2 vastly different Political Parties the far right league and the anti establishment 5 Star Movement it proved to be an Impossible Task and qantas said he would be offering his resignation but there was no question over who he thought was responsible. Let me say that interior minister told renae has showed that he is following his own interests and those of his party. In a blistering attack against any country accused him of unleashing further turmoil and in doing so endangering italys already started to con a me but the leak party leader was unrepentant. I would do again everything i did everything with the great strength of being a free man therefore it means im not afraid of the judgment of the italians overshadowing this impasse has been my terror cell beanies own political agenda vocally anti migrant hes also waged war on the engineers that have attempted to rescue Asylum Seekers crossing the mediterranean and its a tactic that has had success support for his views have increased across the country turning his party into a force that cannot be ignored. In the middle of this Political Drama the spanish rescue vessel hovering off the coast of lampedusa with dozens of Vulnerable People on board for more than 2 weeks they have not been given permission to disembark the open arms vessels repeatedly requested permission to dock despite continued rejection or someone board became so frantic they risked their own lives by jumping into the sea attempting to swim to land they were rescued by nearby Italian Coast Guard vessels. On tuesday a local prosecutor visited the vessel and issued an emergency measure allowing it to dock in lampedusa but this is one incident among many others despite tough new laws preventing such landings they still arrive desperate for safety in europe no matter the cost of reaching their son you know you. Roam. Dozens of mind of a stranded on a rescue ship off the talon island of lampedusa finale 3 weeks have come ashore the sultan prosecutors ordered the boat to be allowed to dark the open arms rescue ship arrived at lampedusa harbor a few hours ago spain and 5 other European Union nations have offered to take them and. The u. S. State department has approved plans to sell 8000000000. 00 worth of f. 16 fighter jets to Taiwan Congress is expected to give the green light to finalize the deal beijing strongly opposes any arms deal with taiwan which it sees as a breakaway province but lets get more on this our correspondent again joining us live from washington d. C. Could be one of the largest arms sales in about 20 years for that island again what are they looking to buy here. Yeah you know even hearing about this arm still for a few days now but its now getting more clear on what exactly this is going to be on tuesday the white house informed Congress Formally that they were going to be proposing this arms deal it is huge its you mentioned 8000000000. 00 and were not talking about 12. 00 or 3 f. 16 s here were talking about 66. 00 f. 16 fighter jets from the u. S. Made that would be sent to tyrone taiwan it would as you mentioned be the one of the largest arms purchases by the taiwanese in nearly 20 years so its a very very big deal here. Now previous administrations whether the Obama Administration before trump or the or the Bush Administration before that had received requests from taiwan to buy arms but previous administrations have always been leery of doing that not wanting to upset the chinese but weve seen under the trumpet ministration that has changed under the trump ministration theyve been. Getting a closer relationship with taiwan the trumpet ministration sent high level delegations to taiwan theyve opened up diplomatic offices in tehran in taiwan taipei excuse me and theyve also supported pro taiwan legislation as well so this is all part of a broader context of the trumpet ministration getting closer ties to taiwan and china not surprisingly very upset about this theyre asking the u. S. To immediately cancel the sale. Yeah thats right as no surprise here that the chinese are not happy about this is at all when word started leak out about this last couple days the the china daily newspaper run by the communist party their state run paper said seriously eroni its signals to taiwan secessionists was the how the newspaper framed it for this arms sale and then a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry said as well nobody should underestimate our will and ability to safeguard our sovereignty and territorial integrity so china is giving the signals that they do not approve of this at all theyre calling for the u. S. To cancel this but it appears that will not be the case this all happens now as we remember that there is ongoing trade war between china and the u. S. So its going to be interesting to see now if she china tries to retaliate by prolonging these trade negotiations because of this arms sale thats so it all comes at a very sensitive time as these trade talks continue thank you very much for that the now that gaping end is on day with the natives live and washington d. C. Thank you. More ahead on the news. The unidentified bodies in the wrong but activists say evidence of sectarian government talking about. A funeral of more than 200 People Killed by landslides and flooding in Southern India and. With other top batsman for the. Details an. Opposition activists in syria say rebels have withdrawn from the strategically important town of qana shakoor and Southern Province the Syrian Government has been gaining ground in the largely rebel held region zaina hall there has moved from beirut. Homeowners back under the control of the Syrian Government Images Released by pro regime media show the town in southern italy empty of residents and fighters rebels withdrew early on tuesday after days of fighting and hundreds of air strikes its location gives the Syrian Government access to parts of a vital commercial highway that connects the Northern City of aleppo to the capital damascus and has been a military objective for months this is a very Important Development in the course of this conflict. This is the 1st step in the 1st stage maybe. Efforts by the government to regain control of the territories along with him 5 road between. Aleppo i think the next target would be moderate to normal. The opposition didnt just lose. Rebel fighters had little choice but to leave towns further south in the northern hama countryside they would have risked being besieged if they didnt move further north the opposition was hoping the presence of a turkish observation post in the area would stop the government advance but i dont attempt by the Turkish Military to reinforce that position failed when an air strike launched by a syrian or russian warplane on monday prevented it from reaching its destination the Syrian Government and its allies have been advancing in the past 2 weeks they have now taken more territory than they did in the 1st 3 months of their military campaign its not clear if the rebels have been subjected to heavy firepower are exhausted or if the army is using better tactics like concentrating the strikes close to the front lines and on rebel supply routes. But the relentless airstrikes in parliament continue to force people into displacement in recent days more than 25000 are believed to have moved north closer to the border with turkey or monitors and activists say over 700000 syrians are homeless since the military escalation began in late april of. The past few days witnessed unprecedented bombardment that is why the people who didnt leave during the 1st months of the offensive back everything and left most of them believe their houses will either be fully destroyed or taken over by the regime. The bombardment of opposition held towns across southern libya continues as the Syrian Government presses on with its offensive there have been more civilian casualties as rebels promise to defend what is left is their last stronghold the battle is not over then for their aljazeera beirut yemens how they controlled media say rebels have down to us is drawn in the province southeast of the capital sanaa and u. S. Central command says theyre aware of the reports but dont have any more and formation well that he when has that the conflict in yemen as at a critical point she had a chance he has more or a great deal a strange sense Martin Griffiths last briefed the Security Council on the situation in yemen notably the takeover of the southern port city of mumbai southern separatists griffiths condemned that movie said talks of the room proposed by saudi arabia in jeddah to take place as quickly as possible the southern separatists have agreed to those talks the only government however has said in the past that they want a full withdrawal of Southern Forces from them before those talks can take place however the Yemeni Government did welcome the prospect of the talks at least at the u. N. Security council meanwhile the griffith says for the future of yemen these talks have to happen as quickly as possible. We have facing a crucial moment and the destination of this conflict in yemen as we have seen in other than and ill be on questions regarding yemens future are being posed more forcefully than before the fragmentation of yemen is becoming a stronger and more pressing threat. And this of course makes our efforts in the yemeni Peace Process more urgent than ever but there is no time to lose the stakes are becoming too high for the future of yemen yemeni people and indeed the wider region also briefing the un Security Council the uns assistant secretary for humanitarian affairs she once again said that the humanitarian Assistance Program of the un is only 34 percent funded the main problem there is saudi arabia and the u. A. E. Not stumping up the money that theyve promised and this could have really dark consequences in the next few days she said she said water and sanitation programs will be stopped in 4. 00 governorates and 300000 people are extreme risk of cholera as a result. The u. S. President on trump says he doesnt see a recession on the horizon and concerns raised by some Economic Indicators are unwarranted bought a new survey does show that 74 percent of u. S. Business economists expect a slowdown by the end of 2021 White House Correspondent kimberly heloc at reports. The United States is experiencing its lowest out of all of that rate in more than a half century its a top talking point u. S. President donald trump but a tuesday after initially dismissing concerns of a recession the president addressed it head on i think the word recession is a word thats inappropriate because its just a word that the. The certain people im going to be kind to certain people in the media are trying to build up because theyd love to see a recession last week the dow jones suffered its worst plunge of the year it has since stabilized but many economists say it reflects fears of an economic slowdown out there are other signs of households not to be willing to make those large kinds of investments anymore at least not to the extent that they were a couple years ago and that chip. He says he will be being more cautious separately confirmed reports the white house is considering payroll tax cut to put more money in workers pocket and courage spending he wrote tax is something that we think about and a lot of people would like to see that in the verb march affects the workers the workers of our country. The president is also pressing Americas Central Bank to cut Interest Rates to further stimulate spending if the fed would do its job which its really doing very poorly over the last year and. You would see a burst of growth like youve never seen before. A Congress Also warned the u. S. Trade war with china isnt helping either trump has pulled back until december and imposing new tariffs on some chinese goods mainly clothing Toys Electronics and other items americans typically buy during the december Holiday Season President Trump insists trade negotiations with china will work out in americas favor but as those discussions drag on theres less optimism and more fear the prolonged trade war will trigger a global recession kimberly health at aljazeera the White House Well lets get more on this now were joined by Christopher Thornberg hes the Founding Partner of Beacon Economics that for the independent research and Consulting Firm and hes joining us live from los angeles but very good to have you with us on ours as they are as a u. S. President trump saying that the media is starting fears of a recession but what about the measures that hes taking what they suggest that he might be worried about a slowdown if not a recession. Well i think hes worried about getting reelected and nice seeing you know a lot of economists acknowledge that politicians who are worried about reelection will do anything to try and shall we say stoke the economy even if those efforts are inherently short term and could actually risk the health of the economy in the long run i really think that is more what this is about than anything with the u. S. Economy itself it is interesting theres a lot of talk about recession in this nation right now but if you look at the numbers 1st half near has been great weve been growing a little over 2 and a half percent the labor markets are tight wages are rising the Housing Market started to rebound and now were enjoying low Interest Rates again so its really hard to say what is wrong right since that seals assessment then off the state of the u. S. Economy is doing well unemployment a Success Story growth has slowed the. Only a little bit and keep in mind that last year growth was a little bit about 3 percent but that was driven by the tax cuts that were put in place the in the 2017 look to fiscal stimulus plan which this nation didnt need gave us a little extra boost of growth with an extra move was by definition temporary thats what fiscal stimulus does and of course its starting to fade away in the u. S. Is seeking back towards a standard Global Growth which really is about 2 and a half percent in this economy right now and so do you think that much of that slowdown has to do with the trade war with china you know affairs of what the trade war could do. Yes absolutely not look actually to be honest with you the trade with china isnt all that important to the u. S. Economy either east in terms of trading partners or even relative to overall levels of trove the economy trade with china is about 13 percent of overall trade that used to be a little higher they used to be our number one trading partner now number 3 and what you find is our u. S. Exports are finding new countries to sell their products and u. S. Importers of finding new places to buy their products from china really is suffering worse the United States is worth noting both imports and exports in real terms are exactly the same today as they were a year ago and this to form but if trade with china isnt that important to the u. S. Economy why is President Trump so obsessed with it well well hes obsessed with the trade deficit which is a separate conversation but i think overall the chinese have over the last decade or so really violated out many of the basic tenets of the w t o which a saudi done 2 to 2 decades ago and its about time somebody said look were the Worlds Largest economy you have to play fair in the global sandbox he may be doing it for the wrong reasons but most economists i know agree that hes doing the right thing its time for someone to stand up and say enough is enough in the United States really the only economy in the world that has the power to do that is to. Get to get your perspective on this we do appreciate your time thats Christopher Thornberg live in los angeles thank you my pleasure.

Baghdad hong kong is bracing for more protests in the coming hours activists plan to disrupt services that some of the citys busiest train stations train stations and some octomom sons alleged gang members attacked protesters in commuters earlier hong kong flu they carry lamb said shes hopeful that sundays nonviolent protests may pave the way forward and the government demonstrations 1st began and other proposed changes to extradition laws that have expanded into a Wider Movement against beijings growing and influence scott heide has the view from beijing. President xi jinping last hong kong visit was 2 years ago to mark 20 years since the handover of what was a british colony to china he minced no words then about who was in control then. Any attempt to endanger chinas solver tea and security challenge the polish Central Government and the basic law of hong kong all to use hong kong to conduct if you trace an unsolved against the mainland is an act of cross the right line. But the past 11 weeks of mass protests in hong kong seem to cross that red line the government even calling some of it here terrorism however theres been not a single word from shoot himself unlike his u. S. Counterpart President Donald Trump who personally involved himself on topics big and small including these protests in hong kong present she rarely engages on specific issues focusing more on the big picture but some say dont confuse the lack of face time as lack of direct involvement on hong kong. In the scene that china will do involving hong kong will be a decision directly up to president xi jinping and the top leadership very closely at his disposal he has laws of things to take care of and hong kong probably is just one of them one tactic the top chinese leadership has decided on misinformation. Twitter and facebook have taken steps to block hundreds of accounts with ties to the Chinese Government twitter said the accounts were an orchestrated attempt to undermine the legitimacy and political positions of the protest movement.
