Here joyous dons former president bashir has been found guilty of corruption and sentenced to 2 years in a Reform Center the judge ruled that the 75 year old will not serve his time in prison because of his age a trial centered around suitcases found in bushs home filled with notes of multiple currencies worth more than 130000000. 00 the courtroom in the capital khartoum descended into chaos when the verdict was read out bushs supporters chanted that the trial was political and ordered to leave. Well another night of our own where nobody course is diverted there is not based on the local basis of what happened in the streets the search will appeal is for that matter is open in the Supreme Court the law is still affecting trust in the law has not changed but i trust in this court has changed completely because to be honest on top of her tics is not based on any facts but based on what has been happening on the streets from numerous law is one of our series have a morgan is in khartoum she says the judge went out of his way to make a particular point. Well the judge 1st of all outlined the charges against the president and the actions that will be taken once those verdicts are issued if hes found guilty he did indeed issue a guilty verdict against the former president obama and bush here but before issuing that verdict he mentioned. That that is the name of a young man who was charged for illegal possession of foreign currency in 1989 by bush or his government when he came to power now upon mentioning the name to his defense team accuse the judge of being biased and a basically meaning towards the forces of freedom and change core mission that is the coalition that has been leading antigovernment protests that eventually led to the ousting of former president im going to shoes but they were not the only ones angry on both sides and to bashir there is anger to be felt on the streets. Supporters came out demonstrating saying that the judge has been biased that the trial is a sham and that they also condemned the Transitional Government for dismantling the former ruling party 2 weeks ago meanwhile and came out after bashir protesters came out saying that this is not enough theyre saying that he should be charged for other crimes and even in this corruption trial he should be charged with should be sentenced with a harsher verdict or saw this trial was about corruption and illegal possession of foreign funds but bashir also faces additional charges in 2009 in.

Is founder and president of the Sudan Policy Forum a working group that focuses on policy oriented reform in sudan he says fundamental changes need to be made to the constitution before meaningful change can happen. This verdict has only added insult to injury if you look at the whole situation. Of all what things he has committed yes there are trials coming but obviously the direction of things is telling us that its not what needs to be a t. V. But the day direction in which things are heading is is not is not giving us the right signal there that there are constitutional issues as well as political issues if if we go back to the whole constitution of the document we realize that the whole issue of legal reform was completely left out. We dont know if this was done intentionally or not there are. The other lady who was helping him.

Envoy for north korea is due to arrive in south korea for talks john young is giving the u. S. A year end deadline to drop its insistence on unilateral denuclearization britains new political reality present Prime MinisterBoris Johnson with a dilemma what to do with all people who voted conservative for the 1st time in says days election his party cut through a sways through the socalled red wall constituencies in working class parts of the country that traditionally voted labor for a childs report. To the victor the spoils for 2 days after the landslide election Boris Johnson surveyed his demands this is sedgefield tony blairs former seat labor since 1935 now conservative blue that people may have been breaking the voting habits of generations to vote for us and i want the people of that all the to know that we in the conservative party i will repay your trust. Of all the stories in the 2019 election this is perhaps the biggest the working class communities in englands midlands north and in wales who deserted labor in droves its a seismic realignment of british politics for sure. U. K. Is a small country but it can still feel a long way from big multicultural urban centers in london to the kinds of places that have just given Boris Johnson his majority labor still does well in liberal minded metropolitan areas but say its paid the price for alienating more socially conservative brecht voters outside of the big cities. Labor activists canvassing in such places before the election fed back grim reports the partys model position on bricks it was one complaint but perhaps a bigger one was a leader Jeremy Corbyn they didnt think he shared their values wasnt patry arctic enough was too city focused in those seats that weve lost its about listening to people what was it and i think it wasnt just a long history of maybe 40 years of neglect and them saying to politicians you never listen to us i mean of allowed our communities to be run down in this way the conservatives now have to figure out what to do with their new voters because its not a Natural Alliance the conservatives have traditionally been the party of the landed and the rich giving purpose back to towns devastated by the industrial collapse presided over by conservative governments of the 1980 s. And maybe beyond that the conservatives have constructed. A policy offer at scale could meet the needs hopes and dreams all the new alex constituent states so its a very exciting. Opportunity and i think there will be quite a loading. Jeremy corbyn will go soon and by january 31st britain will have breakfasted.

Just a month ago this movement did exist and its founders probably didnt expect that their message that they 1st thread on social media with resonates so much among the italians that they would have this kind of turnout not only here in rome but in several cities across the country and also in several european cities now the message is very clear italians need to mobilize and fight against the spread of the far right targeting specifically one leader. They had of the orderly party theres a lot of accusations here that he has been using quite divisive rhetoric that italians need to stand up against this sort of fear mongering tactics against politics that are dividing this society about the rise of racism most of the people here will tell you that they sort of lean towards the left and its also maybe perhaps a message still words the leftist parties in government certainly day people here will tell you theyre not doing enough just to spread the message of the left are not representing them anymore the question now where this Movement Goes from here does it become a Political Party will it come up with some concrete political demands what will it do next certainly it has been very successful at mobilizing people now the next step is what everybody is wondering about.
