Hello the most recent seasonal flooding in china has been so limited to the west and to the high ground in the west a streak of cloud over sichuan gives it away and theres not much else where there is a bit of an arc here thats that is an active area with heavy rain likely in northern vietnam went across the border to you know maybe western ground and still sichuan demonstrated by chengdu is in greenbelt daquiri means the heavy a potential right now that goes away about how we get to friday but a streak of rain just north of hong kong has come into this eastern coast of china otherwise its still a remarkably dry picture for late august. The monsoon rains that made eventually Good Progress right up to pakistan are on the withdrawal slow though it is but this satellite picture which is fairly recent represents more or less to forecast the next 2 days or more us nepal sax words and west words to the west coast have been so much heavy rain but mobilize active it has drying up for you but it does suggest no more significant showers the far west of in the of nor indeed for pakistan because it is still dry to the west that through afghanistan as to iran and to the middle east where humidity is the only trouble.

The leaders of uganda and rwanda have signed an agreement aimed at reducing tensions between the 2 countries once a close ally is rwandas paul kagame me and ugandas your way rima 70 have been accusing each other of espionage and political interference relations have steadily deteriorated rwanda closed its border with ukraine and the in february severely impacting trade on both sides then in may Ugandan Police accused rwandan soldiers of entering the country and killing 2 men a charge rwanda has denied welcome from. Tensions reached a head in february this year and made a sea of accusations and counteraccusations from people in the governments of rwanda and uganda that each was spying on the other followed a series of high profile murders here in uganda over the last few years that included a Senior Police officer as well as other government officials some people in the Intelligence Services here believe that the government of rwanda was responsible meanwhile some people in the government of rwanda have accused uganda of hosting and helping exiled dissidents who want to overthrow rwandas government its important to understand that both president 70 and president. Are military men who both came to power by successfully leading armed rebellion and overthrowing their predecessors and both live to some extent in fear that one day somebody will do the same thing to them todays meeting is the 2nd is being mediated by angolas president. Was a meeting in july which both sides tabled their grievances we didnt hear much more from that meeting suggesting that not much progress was made today we are waiting to find out if some agreement will be reached if things will deescalate and if they get to no border will reopen resuming usual trade between the 2 countries the nigerian president. Has sworn in 43. 00 ministers into his new cabinet its almost 3 months since bihari began his 2nd term in 6 months after he was reelected president took the opportunity to assign ministerial roles but chose to keep the Key Petroleum portfolio to themselves nigeria is africas top producer of crude oil has more now from the capital. The swearing in ceremony for the nigerian cup when it comes to for base to the day president obama was sworn in for a 2nd i am he says he needed even more time but phased a lot of pressure from officials of his own party who felt that any further delays of naming the cup in it would have a knock on effect on the budgeting process and also the entire Government Operations at present one has said he wanted a good mix of technocrats and politicians in his cabinet to ensure that not only progress the chip in the 1st time is built on but also his legacy is also protected to faces a lot of the challenges here among them in security these this massive fighting going on in the middle belt of nigeria between farmers and. Pastoralist and along ethnic groups which has created not only the displacement of those of people but the deaths of hundreds in the past few years and this is a continuing problem and also these kidnappings where young frustrated and employed nigerias taking matters into their own hands and kidnapping people for once a month then these issue of boko haram which has not been defeated yet and of course start off shoot of it which has pledged its a little too eisel which has been the cause of some of the wasta tox in the north and part of the country in recent months of course all these problems has created some sort of disappointment among many in a genius with some not only calling for a revolution but also protesting for it the u. S. President donald trump has canceled a state visit to denmark on twitter after the danish Prime Minister rebuffed his interest in buying greenland Betty Fredrickson describe the u. S. President s idea as. He fired this off. Of denmark is a very special country with incredible people but based on Prime Minister fred recent comments that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of greenland i would be perspiring on meeting churchill in 2 weeks for another time the Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the us and denmark by being so direct i thank her for that and look forward to we should have been some time in the future and the danish Prime Minister was talking just the past 2 hours or so in copenhagen saying shes disappointed mr trump has called off the trip at discussion. However been very gracious about a potential sale of greenland this has clearly been rejected by kim petersen a position that i share of course. This does not change the character of our good relations and we will of course from denmark continue our on going dialogue with the u. S. On how we can develop our cooperation and deal with the many common challenges we are facing ok lets bring in my colleague kimberly even by the standards of this white house is this all a bit kind of out there. It is and it caught a lot of the white house staff by surprise we know including the ambassador who had just previously to this announcement tweeted a photo of the anticipated arrival of donald trump despite Donald Trumps tweet in the cancellation that this is not going to or this is going to save a lot of money thats not necessarily true either this is been a trip that was planned for many many weeks in advance theres a lot of expensive forward planning that takes place so on the one level this was a big surprise and then on the other hand you have to ask was it a big surprise this is the 1st time weve seen donald trump taking a transactional approach to diplomacy particularly given his real estate background the other time weve seen Something Like this is that in the case of the relationship between north Korean Leader kim jong un and the u. S. President repeatedly donald trump has talked about how he believes he can make the deal that other president s have not been able to achieve to give have north korea give up its Nuclear Weapons by selling the prospect of opportunity Economic Opportunity through real estate other things done travis repeatedly refer to north korea as great waterfront property so pulling back from all of this this has caught a lot of people on both sides of the atlantic very surprised but at the same time when you look at some of Donald Trumps other transactional deals you have to kind of shrug your shoulders and say this is something that he does but to put it in context and we shouldnt just criticize donald trump i mean everyone else on twitter is doing that but you and i shouldnt of course i mean there are precedents for this kind of thing this is how we kind of got alaska this is how the Virgin Islands became the u. S. Virgin islands you know and greenland does have clearly strategic and military importance for the very very front line of the defense of the United States ok its a bit of a throwback to the cold war and the relationship between the u. S. S. R. And washington but there are real reasons why on paper it might actually not be a wholly bad idea. Yeah and i think it was in the context of those discussions with white house staff that donald trump kind of went to his default setting of thinking like the Real Estate Developer that he has been for his entire professional career but youre absolutely right not only is there history but theres strategy in all of this the history as you point out the United States has tried to Purchase Green land in the past most recently in 1906 under president harry truman and then a 100 years before that as you point out fresh off the back of the purchase of alaska so its not out of the realm of history thats for sure and then there is important strategy in all of this and thats again where i think these conversations 1st surface given the fact that not only is greenland the airbase theyre part of americas early Ballistic Missile Warning System its also used by the u. S. Air force as well as north American Aerospace Defense Command so where some of the absurdity comes from well its just been so long since he was had a discussion like this that people are going wait a 2nd what and then even donald trump injected some humor into it as well he put out a meme that has been said across the world you pointed out on twitter where he said i promise not to do this to greenland it shows very sort of a desolate space with one of his gleaming golden towers with trump across the top so it is a little bit absurd when you see the u. S. President doing that and then to think about in the midst of all this were talking about defense were talking about diplomacy but thats how donald trump rolls absolutely can be good still to thank you so much. Nearly 100 refugees and migrants who spent their 1st night in weeks on dry land after their rescue boat docked in italy prosecutor ordered it to be seized ending a standoff between the Spanish Charity operating the ship and the Italian Government hardline migration policies are at the heart of italys leadership crisis which forced the Prime Minister to separate conti to resign sonia gago has more from the island of lampedusa. Several e. U. Member countries have agreed to take on the nearly 100. 00 or so people who are on board the open arms vessel that would be spain portugal luxembourg and france there being willing to take them on and so they will now be able to claim asylum in those countries as well the prosecutor did immediately order the disembarkation after having visited the vessel and saw for himself the state the condition that the vessel was in which we are told that was were in poor hygiene conditions as well as the very fragile condition of the people on board both physically and mentally as well but there is also another ship is not too far away circling the Sister Island of lampedusa the island of the noise and it has been circling the area for several days now with 356. 00 people on board this is already another cause for concern because they will have to at some point go to adopt for a safe landing they have already requested that an executive with the European Commission has already called out the e. U. Member states to show compassion and try and simply provide a solution with which these people can be taken on and given the opportunity to seek asylum in e. U. Member countries but of course this is all part of the process which has been happening in these islands here even though the interior minister my peers salvini has said that he has banned these landings from taking place the reality of the of the matter is that they keep turning up while there are people who are desperate to try and escape the conditions that they found themselves in libya they will do anything they can. Possible to try and find safety in the European Union country an unprecedented number of wildfires have been recorded in brazils amazon rain forest this year nearly 73 funds and of the been detected between january in august the president has been condemned for his Environmental Policies that have accelerated the deforestation of the amazon. As the coordinator for forests and biodiversity of friends of the Earth International she says the corporate interests in the amazon rain forest are being protected by political power in brazil. Internationally everywhere we see thats the extreme right its really links to the interests of and corporate interests at once just to sell more products that want to have more access to all door environmental places and we see this especially very very strong in brazil where there are pretty interests dont have access to more Agricultural Land is really represented by also not all we have heard earlier this year and minister of environmentalists gargle soliciting in the next an Environmental Program reza president us not to agree with the alarm dont use to criticize the Agricultural Production of developing countries and so what a release for them the amazon is there for business its there for making profits its their its not their product in the environment and they are not worried about the International Consequences and the consequences for the country itself at the same time they are interrupting our older than normal processes as well as they are of the human rights of Indigenous Peoples which there are multiple in brazil and they are actually the ones who dont normally protect the forests which they are just completely outlawed in the situation. This is al jazeera these are the top stories 10 of the 11 members of sudans newly created sovereign comes all have been sworn in to lead until the elections can be held in 3 years time general abdel fattah the previous head of sudans military jumper will serve as chairman. Protesters in hong kong have gathered in front of the british consulate to appeal for the release of a man detained in Mainland China earlier Chinas Foreign Ministry said simon chang an employee of the u. K. Consulate violated the law and will spend 15 days in administrative detention but the Foreign Ministry is urging the u. K. To stop interfering. This u. K. Consulate employee is a hong kong citizen he is not a u. K. Citizen in other words that means hes chinese so its entirely in internal matter for china so with regard to the recent series of mistaken comments the u. K. Has made regarding Hong Kong China has openly expressed its position we want to once again urge the u. K. To stop making indiscreet remarks and stop stirring up trouble on the hong kong issue of the Un Special Envoy to yemen Martin Griffiths has arrived in sanaa its believed hell meet with the rebels on tuesday he told the un that yemen was at risk of falling apart up next its the stream rob will keep you company from 15 g. Perception is validation we believe you want to receive but in one life time we cannot see everything. We would lie if the experiences of others and the legacy of previous generations. With that testimony we know very little. With this documentary open your eyes on aljazeera. Thousands of people from around the world apply to join prestigious us Research Programs and conferences every year but to make the tough u. S. Rhetoric over the immigration many face complex visa rules that frustrate their efforts and so me ok i really could be here in the stream if you faced a tough time getting into the u. S. Or elsewhere to further your work or academic education we want to hear your story tell us about it live through twitter or you tube. Hollywood yeah princeton just 3 of the many u. S. Universities renowned as being well to meet us in science and Technology Research each year thousands of people from around the world and to colleges in the u. S. All join International Conferences that key steps along the path of Career Development but many scholars and experts in their field face a long process to get a u. S. Visa as a trumpet ministration hardens the governments stance on immigration and some are denied entry altogether Harvard Universitys president says students and faculty are facing uncertainty amid rigid policies chinese scholars are among those expressing unease as the u. S. Makes it harder for them to work in sensitive fields and business analysts warn the u. S. Is becoming less attractive to Global Talent for not. But how us entry rules scholars and Research Professionals were joined from were joined from munich by. He is a Communications Research associate at the think Maximillian University of. Honey gardai z. Is an assistant professor at the university of california San Francisco where he joins us from just outside to give us switzerland we have Jennifer Hunt hes an economics professor at Rutgers University and has examined immigration and the science and Engineering Force in the u. S. Head of ways were going to get to having such a slot lineup with smart lineup Smart Community we have a lot of researchers academics and i mean any of that comes as no surprise to you i mean but i want to start there because a lot of people sharing personal stories with us about the hardships they face trying to get these visas start with postdoctoral fellow at the University College london and here is the hurdle that she faced unfortunately creasing the restrictive policies of United States such as the travel ban has made it impossible for scientists like myself to attend conferences and workshops. Where we can have a Dynamic Exchange of our findings and ideas for instance last year and could not attend in our field to present my work and again just a year despite the fact that i took there to give a talk i cannot go and i am sending a prerecorded presentation also to pass a could not attend job interviews us or system situation is because of so all of this has made america which was once and talk just a nation to pursue send your ear unfortunately no longer. So cut our list of obstacles in her way and i pulled this up because i know that you can relate you wrote this project walling off the ivory tower talk to us about your issue in trying to get to the us. Yes thank you for inviting me this year ive tried to participate in you know the International Communications associations conference because im a Communications Scholar it my paper was accepted so i should present there in washington d. C. And in the end of may beginning of this year i applied for. And they didnt give me. A special date at the consulate in munich at the u. S. Consulate there are 2 and so many questions there and they 1st said they will give me the result and they denied it again while i emailed i had to answer 15 more questions about who was my girlfriend who were my working partners. Are the apartments located where i was living in the last 50 years but i was waiting for 3 to 4 months and at the end there was no decision decision at all and i couldnt travel to the i. C. A. Conference did you get any indication as to why he might have been 10. I think its a because of my research im conducting doing research on the kurdish media system this is part of my ph d. Project and for the Research Research i have to travel to Different Countries of the middle east so for example i was in syria i was in iran i was in iraq and turkey and of of course i did i told the people at the consulate that there was there that i was doing research there and i think this is part of why i was rejected and im also not just an admission im also a political activist on the list just activists and this is also maybe part of their decision not to let me to the u. S. Can i have to say money can i was checking out your social profiles where no visa experts what we did know to stay on your twitter profile they described you as a mensch and a communist and that just right there on twitter for everybody to see that may 7 well have influence whether you companies or are not you are now thing we all say often we thought do you feel that there was more than you could do. In towns of you understand that you know your area of study might be quite controversial. Maybe your writing Something Like this might be to make you more. Attractive. But so youre saying its to tight my political beliefs i think that i understand why this is nobody can make you write that. Kryten or not i think you have to be open you have to be transparent with your beliefs because your beliefs also are affecting you are ways of research the topics you are researching so there is i think there is the socalled neutral to your objectivity in science is a myth and i think im more on the side of transparency so i think that there is my point of view and then the people can decide whether they like it or not. And of course you are not alone in that i want to share this from evolving on twitter who says these issues are a major problem for those of us from developing countries wishing to get Higher Education or even attend Capacity Building conferences abroad he goes on to say stringent visa policies are the reason for this its common practice for some developed countries to deny young enthusiastic student visas for rather unconvincing reasons honey talk to us about your view on this persons idea that these are unconvincing reasons and theyre really just stopping people from furthering their research. Well actually i dont i dont disagree. You know for example in the my medical field where i work. I think you know cancer knows no border regardless of your political view or which country you are these are the hurdles that you know all nations are all humans are facing and we really need our best and brightest to Work Together to solve this kind of violent problems and a lot of that requires you know getting busy together thinking about problems together and interacting with each other so its absolutely not a great idea to have these valuers for connection. I also want to point out another issue that i think. You know its important to to raise and that is the fact that it is absolutely true that it is difficult to get in to the u. S. And the u. S. You know the reason processing takes wherever but its also important to know that one for a lot of the students when theyre inside because of those processing times they actually are stuck in the us sometimes for you know durations of their entire duration of study which is you know 56 years and so the opposite also applies that there are isolated you know from you know friends and families and and also having basically access to you know what we call back home basically yeah so they start to stay here for long durations of time if there are conferences now outside of the u. S. They actually cannot attend either so it kind of goes both ways. You know either both coming in or leaving is a problem or for a large group of students and i think the extent that is the problem i think is different for Different Groups of students from Different Countries so you kind of get this you know a caste system where there is a Different Group so students. Having to adhere to you know more and more difficult problems regarding the visa processing and. Jennifer let me bring you into the conversation im just looking here at the refusal rates for u. S. B. Visas and these are freezes that allow you to consult with Business Associates in the u. S. That you can actually work with these visas and say just looking back just over a year ago 2 years ago you can see the countries that are unpopular for allowing people to come in hes in this particular kind of visa into the u. S. Somalia iran to pity yemen syria United Kingdom france germany so france and germany are more popular in terms of allowing people in do you notice that theres a hierarchy of who eventually gets into the country on a visa thats involved in science or technology of research and who doesnt make it i think with those particular b. Visas its actually difficult to know what from the statistics what the purpose of the visas are so we dont know how many of those was or for normal business also the sorts of conferences that people were talking about but but clearly whichever one theyre for. Putting barriers in the way of getting such abuses interrupts the flow of both commerce and ideas between the us and other countries which is bad for both the us and the other countries. So i mean i think the people who are talking on this panel right now there are still kind of problems for example im having german citizenship i can travel to 167 countries without getting a visa permission. Maybe i would have been there to include someone from actually from somalia because they have universities there too doing some Good Research and letting them talk about their experience because i think maybe as some alien researcher you would never think about applying to a conference in the u. S. Because you know that you wont get accepted by permission yeah honey you added all of that i think that i name 5 s. In tampa which countries make it and which countries stand even if its just going to a conference you call it a constant can you expand on. Well im not sure if its necessarily the right border or not but basically you know you have groups of students you know conferences are pretty much off the table for for many of these countries and students coming from those countries or academics coming from those countries simply because you know you are aware of the conference a few months beforehand on the use of processing or exceeds that. So what happens is you you cant you limit access and collaborations and basically exchange of ideas or what are entirely a large part of the population who is actually working on these problems but actually it sometimes are in parts of busy the world where we want to be there for it was for example when it comes to be but it comes to us when half were example there are certain areas that you want to be you dont want to hear from them and and these kinds of. Barriers very much limits and i think thats thats a huge problem Going Forward not for attracting you know the best and the brightest to the us but also busy making sure busy that science in general remains borderless and we can have the exchange of ideas that we need to. And online people are talking about the impact that all of this has on the world really so why do loop flores says it greatly impacts Cross Cultural exchange writing on you tube different perspectives provide different approaches to shared problems so keeping in mind that Cross Cultural exchange i want to share a video comment we with you that we got from a professor the director of Global Health programs at Mcgill University here is what dr harper i told the string. Reciprocity is very important for global we send lots of students and faculty members countries to low Income Countries but many want to meet us approachable and invite experts on loan from countries please pay severe problems many up and really struggled with getting visas to come to the us canada and u. K. Which makes it impossible for us to learn from people who really understand what the problems and to a new shins are i really dont think will help our science in general connect violence when rich countries deny. The ability for scientists to travel freely across countries and for is rich exchange of knowledge and information that is absolutely critical for our feed so jennifer you heard his take for you what are the knock on effects of this. Well obviously to innovation requires interaction amongst people and sharing of ideas and building teams and combining different points of view as that progress from the girl just said and its useful to understand how important it is to realize what actually affects Economic Growth per capita so output per capita in a country can be divided into the quality of the workforce so you might say education growth and that the growth in capital also Machines Computers that sorts of thing and growth rather innovation and to give you an idea of how important innovation can be if you look at the growth in g. D. P. So output per capita in the u. S. Since the 2nd world war 80 percent of it is innovation and innovation can be partly technology and science it can also be things like improving management techniques or it can be things like improving the rule of law or Property Rights that kind of thing so it has many components but for that period in the us its mostly about technology and so this is something thats very important to the wellbeing of people and you for that innovation this sort of exchange that were talking about is very important and it can be exchanged going to conferences and temporary meetings where we can be talking actually about immigration to the us for example so lets get term visas in those be visit to business that youre talking about student visas temporary work visas eventually permanent residence or even citizenship and all of those are important for innovation in the us and in the worlds. I want to add jennifer you were talking about how broad this visa system is and who it impacts theres a story that we remembered as a team about 2 youngsters there were 2 chess champions have a break your heart in the visa line yesterday this is the ambassador the car to the u. S. Ambassador for kenya and he was in the line with a little boy and a little girl they are kenyan chasse champions and they say they were turned down for their visa so they were a trip to the u. S. Was not possible this time i reminded them that they are champions but i find this picture once my life one is going to heartbreaking that these youngsters couldnt come and play chess around the world and really develop their chess ability so it seems the in impacting the very young but how do you remind us a little bit earlier that there is a personal impact as well because when students get to come to the u. S. They get into these important universities they are too scared to leave and they cant go to weddings they cant go to funerals can you explain what god feels like because you experience that. Oh yes actually i mean this is the this is the ones who. Dont get me wrong i think i was privileged to be able to do that and you know now being a u. S. Citizen now link here but. You know i work in your lawn some of the. The worlds best scientists and so this is for me a dream come true but also looking back and realize all the challenges that i went through as a student and im trying to you know do what i can to make sure that you know other students do not have to go through the same process which unfortunately not only hasnt got better its it has worse absolutely you know we are in writing this is dense and you know scholars in into our country and we are basically the hosts and you know their physical and mental busy health is also as a is our responsibility regardless of you know whether theyre productive in this on the science front or not were also responsible for them so you know having students year for for long stretches of time with no access to go home to their friends and their families. Is is really heartbreaking i dont i dont know why we dont really hear enough of this i really want to emphasize it here that you know imagine not being able to see your family of 4 or 56 years. Regardless of what happens readings you know roles and you miss all of that. And its really not clear why. Its not clear to me it was not clear to me down and still not clear to this day what was the benefit of that. You then defend let me read. It let me share it and ill give it to you just a couple people sharing their stories says i was one of the registered participants for the mcgill Summer Institute 2019 i was super take in t. V. Research i apply for a visa in ghana and was refused on the grounds that they werent satisfied i would go back home another person says i was denied a visa twice last year at the u. S. Embassy and to attend the u. S. Saf for a masters in Electrical Engineering and right now ive submitted my application at the embassy of france to study hoping i get it soon he want to jump in there this is the last maybe 6 1st. But i think this conversation is about the us at the center because maybe we can also see some positive advantages of not getting into the u. S. Because i think i think most of for example social sciences where i dont come im coming from very best on not just and very focused on what is happening at u. S. Universities but i think we should like should be part of a movement that that is trying to divas to nice social sciences and also also other sciences so like shifting the focus of great job just from the u. S. For example to to the global south to the african countries to Asian Countries because there is also really Good Research and theorizing being done and we should focus more of that for example also by shifting important conferences from the u. S. To other countries for example my Communication Association i m c r is all going to their annual conference next year in beijing and not in the us anymore. I dont know i think its you know as i mentioned earlier i think you know also you know goes the opposite right you have a body of scholars and economics who are already in the u. S. So having access outside is also as difficult and of course you know i also Company Agree that depending on your busy area of research i think you want to be in different places in the world. But you know certain countries are really foremost investors and parts of science in these than if you are in those areas you want to be in those countries as much as possible. And you know you want to just maintain that honor yes i was actually going to Say Something that reinforcing what honey just said which is i think its very useful actually brought up the distinction between fields because it does depend a lot what field with talking about whether it matters where you are and where you should be but at least for the last quite a number of decades perhaps even 100 years for science and engineering the place to be has been the u. S. And one could argue that the same person is more productive in terms of science and engineering innovation in the u. S. Than outside the u. S. And even if thats not quite true one of the things that we think is that its easier to commercialize science and engineering innovation in the u. S. So that for those fields what happens in the u. S. Is very important because it may make sense to bring people to the us rather than letting them work in their own countries but of course in social sciences there its very much true that different people have different experiences different points of view different approaches often with studying specifically certain regions in the work a lot of the work should be done in those regions even engineering though some people would argue that the engineering problems to be addressed to different in Different Countries its really only pure science that can exist but independently of the country so even with engineering there is an advantage to. To having people from different places and working in the places certainly spending long stretches of time ok. But to crimes point i want to go back to you because i know that some of your students are just boycotting the u. S. Is that why try and get into a country that doesnt want us we will go to where else are they going. So i mean as far as i know students are tending more toward some European Countries including germany for example also canada over where the resistance ration is easier than than the u. S. But as we have heard it also has its own difficulties for certain areas. But you know what i am for size that you know as much as it was for example for me im privileged to come to the u. S. And go to one of the best graduate programs it is also true that more and more of the gaps are closing between the u. S. Led programs and other parts of the world so its absolutely true that more and more students will take into account these kinds of problems and will make decisions accordingly which is right they are choosing other graduate programs across the world or dealing with you know the result processing so the long run i think apart from the fact that there are ramifications for you know science and scientists who are in the u.

Ok lets remind ourselves of the men to servants that led to this point months of protests over rising food and fuel prices prompted the military to take power back in april but protesters immediately demanded a civilian government and they continued their sit in outside the Army Headquarters in the capital on june the 3rd party military forces attacked and killed over 100 demonstrators the 2 sides then refused to talk before mediators from ethiopia and the African Union brought them back together finally they found a power sharing agreement on saturday and the opposition chose economist abdullah hum doc as Prime Minister havel morgan has the latest from khartoum well what happens next is the appointment of an executive council the Prime Minister which has already been chosen by the forces of freedom and change is due to be sworn in later he has a 21. 00 days to appoint his cabinet most of which will be from the forces of freedom and change with the exception of the minister of interior and the minister of defense those would be appointed by the military is it because its a its the 2 positions are related to security therefore they cannot let civilians appoint those 2 members then theres also the appointment of a Legislative Assembly but more importantly than those who is a point appointment of the judiciary theyre saying that people here on the ground are saying that this judiciary that will be appointed by the forces of freedom and change should be independent should be nonpartial and should be able to deliver justice and accountability they say thats why theyve been protesting from months and thats why they give legitimacy and authorization for the forces of freedom and chain to present them in the talks upon the Transitional Government and if no independent judiciary is formed then they will take to the streets once again because they can stand and demand. Qual is professor of practice for Security Studies at Africa Center for strategic studies and hes joining us now from washington d. C. Thank you very much indeed for your time can the people who were protesting earlier on this year really be confident that this new structure can deliver what they want. There is no doubt this is a very big victory for the people of sudan but even for the protesters and the uprising. It took a lot of time for them to come to set aside the time and i think is a big is a big success what the people of sudan and i think as you do they feel that is how to transform what they have no action and i could see clearly though that a lot of challenges ahead but a lot of opportunities that the people of sudan there will be able to make a difference and do a new lot for the stability looking at this new structure that has been put in place do you consider that there is enough expertise there to be able to address the problems that the countrys been facing like for example the rising fuel prices of full food and fuel which prompted the protests in the beginning. Yeah i think the Prime Minister is one of our outstanding economists he has a very words of experience but importantly hes also coming from the periphery hes somebody sees an economies and i think he will definitely be able to provide a very good road map of how to transform the sudanese economy i think a few challenges that i would like to highlight one the fact that you have 730 years of misrule why they the game but here it will take a lot of time for you to clean the system in order to deliver so you are likely to have a very high expectation of the citizen and at the time you have this highest but this year you have a very positive for you to deliver will be quite limited because its still the old system will be there so i think one of the expectation would be one of the the real challenges of these of these government the 2nd one is disability sector itself because this is a sector that has been politicized and as you could clearly see being reported is that the tool for the ministry of defense and minister of the interior will be appointed by the members of the 7 counts of the military members of this serving council them to be appointed by the Prime Minister i think this is a very sign that as they have the security has been from the from the civilian administration and this is the sector that is consuming not less than 60 percent of the resources of the budget of the government i think would be absolute very important for the new so this new government to have an agenda of how to transform this accuser said otherwise is going to be a real challenge for the year for the government and the 3rd one is the many getting the dealing with the groups these armed groups they have not yet they have not yet signed on the part of the of the forces for freedom and change but yet i think the whole of peace again the. Is a big challenge i think it depends to a level the government will be able to start as soon as possible to bring on board the group and i think that is what it will report what these armed groups are actually having a very clear agenda again double to put a fully again of the marginalized but they have agenda of how best you can be able to transform the Security Sector and i think these are the key challenges that i am seeing very very very clearly really interesting to get your views on this little course thank you very much indeed for your time sir. 2 people have been killed in indian administered kashmir and the 1st gun battle between separatists and Security Forces since new delhi revoked its a toll on me and ian police say an officer and a rebel fighters were killed in the bottom of the district india scraps the Region Special status of this month and many parts are still on the lockdown pakistan opposes these actions and is about to take the case to the International Court of justice says a male has more from synagogue. Even before getting to the Kashmir Valley you can feel the restrictions in place on flights to sri dogger passengers are instructed to keep their window shades shut before landing here on the ground the restrictions that have largely kept people in and around their homes have been eased on wednesday leaving many people to be outside as well some vehicles Milling Around but as you can see most shops and businesses are shut now close to the center of the city is the sorra neighborhood this is been a flashpoint for protests ever since the regions autonomy was revoked earlier this month some communication restrictions have been eased with officials saying thousands of landlines have been restored but most people here rely on a mobile phone which along with the internet remain shut thats the reason why getting information from outside a tree hugger is so difficult but Indian Officials have confirmed several cease fire violations between indian and Pakistani Forces along the line of control thats the defacto border separating india and pockets on an institution near specials also confirm a gun battle some 50 kilometers from here in the bottom of the district on wednesday between Security Forces an armed gunman 1st reported since the regions autonomy was revoked. Theres also been more violence along the line of control between the parts of kashmir administered by pakistan and india the 2 countries are accusing each other of ceasefire violations but as they trade blame people on the front lines are suffering some a bit of a report about the capital of pakistan administered kashmir and their. 7 year old son had dreams and ambitions his family says he wanted to join the forces which protect his village he was killed in the latest cross border shelling in pakistan administered kashmir as usual india and pakistan accuse each other off what they call unprovoked aggression and violation of the cease fire like assads military spokesman tweeted that retaliatory fire killed 6 indian soldiers. The day after the shelling from the indian side we witnessed more shells landing on the civilian population in the Company Sector district courtly a few homes were damaged the life comes to a standstill every time tension escalates on the border. Indiscriminate firing continues from india the target civilians and kill innocent people as you can see we are a few kilometers from the border and. You can still hear their guns. People rush to see what happened to their property even the fighting subsided. Of the sheer is a farmer who refuses to move because he would lose his now and livelihood now damn. It was no way to run in the heavy shelling from the indian side and we tried to hide in the basement when mortar shells were landing everywhere. This year at least 33. 00 civilians have been killed in artillery and mortar shelling in pakistan ministered to schmear and Indian Officials also say civilians have suffered on their side its difficult for villages near the line of control the dividing line between the 2 sides every day activities such as going to school or the shops becomes impossible for you started we were coming from culturally town towards battle stepped out on the line of control we heard there was heavy shelling from the indian side so we took shelter in the basement of a mosque the foreign minister says pakistan will be taking. To the International Court of justice but people here have their doubts that there will be any outcome theres mounting anger in brackets around administered fish read not just against the shelling across the line of control but also about the plight of kashmiris stranded on the indian side some of the job it out of there with. Donald trump has cancelled his state visit to denmark on twitter after the danish Prime Minister rebuffed his interest in buying greenland a selfgoverning danish territory thats a french accent and called the u. S. President s idea absurd trying to fight off this response saying denmark is a very special country with incredible people but based on Prime Minister and that a federal projects in its comments that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of greenland i will be postponing meeting scheduled in 2 weeks for another time the Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the United States and denmark by being so direct i thank her for that and i look forward to reshuffling some time in the future and the danish Prime Minister spoke just a short time ago in copenhagen saying shes disappointed in trumps decision to call off his trip. At discussion has however been very gracious about a potential sale of greenland this has clearly been rejected by computers in a position that i share of course. This does not change the capture of our good relations and we will of course
