can i ask you now to the circumstances of the removal of omar al—bashir, what made you and your senior army colleagues decide that it was time for bashir to go? was there any danger at any time that force was going to he stepped up against the protesters? was that something that omar al—bashir, at the time, was asking for? and did you personally tell him, no, that's not acceptable? there are reports that you are one of three army officers who personally told president bashir that he was no longer in power. can you confirm that? what did you say to him? and what did he say? he said ok. just like that? yes. because, i... was he arrested immediately? what did you do with him? because i'm hearing reports, reliable sources here in khartoum, that he is in a state of shock at what has happened, that he's depressed, that he's refusing to eat here in prison. how can we verify that he is in prison, because, again, so many people in sudan are saying we don't really believe that he's in prison. can i verify it personally? but isn't it your responsibility of the current leader of sudan, because one senior western diplomatic sources said to me you must show yourself better than the regime you've replaced. you can'tjust detain omar al—bashir, ali osman taha, his vice president, and his other associates, his two brothers, and not charge them, not have them visited or inspected by the international red crescent, for example. what should happen to omar al—bashir? because he stands accused of crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide. and amnesty internationaljoan nyanyuki say he "must be immediately handed over to the icc, the international criminal court, for due process to be followed. his case must not be hurriedly tried in sudan's notoriously dysfunctional legal system. justice must be served." will you hand him over to the icc? so he will not be handed over to the icc? do you have the mandate to decide that, because what if the transitional government or a subsequent democratically elected government says we don't abide by what general burhan says, we want to see omar al—bashir delivered to the icc and the sudanese professionals association says that as an option they want to leave open. you couldn't stop that, could you? so you accept it's not a guarantee that you can make? could you pre—empt this, perhaps, by allowing him to go into exile somewhere, because president museveni of uganda has said he would give him shelter. is that a possibility? when will you put him on trial? when can we see him on trial? and would it be, the court case, could it be under international supervision? in terms of what the international community can do to help sudan at this transitional period, one thing that you are seeking is a removal of the sanctions by the united states of america, because sudan is on the list of states that sponsors terrorism, but the americans are saying that that is too premature. you've talked of sending a delegation and it's likely that they won't accept it. we've also had reports that the united arab emirates and saudi arabia have pledged to give sudan, to give you, $3 billion. they know you because, of course, you been in charge of sorting out the sudanese soldiers who've served in yemen and that helps the coalition there against the rebels in yemen. but we've heard chants on the streets saying to saudis "we don't want your money". has that money been sent to you and have you accepted it? have you received the money? is it on its way? but if it comes you would accept it? finally, for 63 years of independence for sudan, from britain in 1956, for all but ten of those years sudan has been ruled by the military. former prime minister sadiq al—mahdi of the umma party, one of the oldest, biggest parties in sudan, says the military have become hinged to the idea of takeover, so we must have a civilian military charter that makes the military subject to civilian democratic control. are you, general burhan, committed to taking, finally, the army out of sudanese politics? well, they want you to step down, though, the street has made it very clear they don't want the army to stay in power and you've become accustomed to ruling. you're ready now? yes. straightaway? yes. a matter of days. general abdul fattah al burhan, thank you very much indeed for coming on hardtalk. there is a change on the way, it's certainly going to feel a lot cooler, but not really until the end of the week. today, wednesday, it's actually not going to be too bad. temperatures could still get up to around 20 degrees but some of us will need our brollies. there are showers on the way, there could be some thunderstorms too. a lot of cloud on the satellite image, these are weather fronts, they are heading in our direction and for the rest of the week, we will see a succession of weather fronts approaching us and those will be giving showers. we can still see quite a lot of orange and yellow, that is basically the temperature of the atmosphere. it's what we call the air mass. some warmth there but the colder current of air across the north atlantic, that won't reach us until probably friday, that's when we will really notice the temperatures tumbling. here's first thing in the morning on wednesday, temperatures of ten in the south, six in the north. showers going right from the word go across cornwall and devon. much of the west country into wales as well. some just about nudging into the midlands by around lunchtime. but by two or three in the afternoon, notice that the south coast is actually clear of the showers so the sun may come out again. quite a changeable day from showers, back to sunshine. those showers will continue to drift northwards into the lake district, eventually later on in the afternoon. those temperatures still managing to get up to around 20 degrees but where you have the cloud and the showers, it's going to feel quite a bit cooler. maybe around 14 or 15 degrees. you can see those blobs of blue, the showers move northwards as we head into wednesday evening. eventually, that warmth or what is left of it will waft away towards the east and this colder air will reach us. thursday and friday, that's where we see those temperatures tumbling away. here is thursday, again showers in the forecast, a little bit more widespread, and some of us that didn't have the showers on wednesday may get them on thursday. temperatures only 13, 14, 15 degrees. throughout the country, whether you're in the south or the north, may be some sunshine thrown in there. here is friday's weather forecast. breezy as well, showers, could be the odd crack of thunder as well, really feeling quite cool, i suspect by the time we get to the weekend some northern areas might be struggling to even make double figures. the outlook into saturday and sunday is a showery one. temperatures in the south of around 12—14 degrees. maybe 10 or ii in the north. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: grief and mourning turns to anger in sri lanka. she cries the country's president vowes to overhaul security after it emerged the authorities had been given warnings days before. "a gentle, innocent soul" — the family ofjournalist lyra mckee pay tribute to her, as politicians from across the political divide gather for her funeral later. do you know how your clothes are made? we're looking at fast fashion all morning, with big brands getting more transparent as they do battle
