effect on subsequent stories. the listening post doesn't cover the news. it covers the way the news is covered to suppress moderate. and in some cases amplify the content you see on your primal, then the he has own. and with the latest news, as it breaks over the years front has been the target of numerous lawsuits and criminal investigations. but this time is different with detailed coverage, although many countries are speaking to reduce that dependent profit. we all know genesis the toilet will continue to be in demand from around the world. it's an indication of how reliant benjamin netanyahu is on support in the far right plans for the so called national guard have suddenly been up by ah

at least 3 civilians have been killed in a fierce escalation of violence between sedans, army, and the nation's largest power military force ah, i know about this and you're watching all the zeros, continuous coverage of the unrest and saddam fighter jets attack positions of the rapid support forces on fighting shots down cartoons. international, airport sedans, part of military force, takes control of state television as the government, bronze them, rebels. also i had the warning sides and yemen released more detainees as part of a major prisoner exchange. ah, just pause to 14 g m t r 's and some done is a nation in turmoil. the military is fighting the largest part of military group in

the capital. khartoum and beyond. there are urgent calls for immediate, the escalation from washington to brussels. at least 3 civilians are reported to have been killed in the fighting, and several have been injured. victoria gained by reports ah, heavy fighting spreads 3 cartoons tensions between the sudanese army and a powerful paramilitary force. spill over into the street with the army says it's defending itself from attacks by the rapid support forces across the capitol. it's now designating the force as a rebel group. i come on a couple of your ego. your staff is trying to assault many critical positions. our forces are deployed and discharging their duties. defending positions. fighting has been underway since this morning until this moment. this is a battle for our national dignity. but the rapid support forces say their bases were attacked by the army. i yo, this battle will pave the way to

a peaceful solution. all those criminals will stand trials. i cannot give a time limit to the fighting. however, we are adamant to end it with the least of losses or flights have been cancelled at car team. international airport were armed man or on the tarmac and rapid support forces had taken control of state television service, sudan t v. i had to san one minus the no. this was the moment the stations broadcast was caught with tensions between the army and the rapid support forces emerged months after military takeover in 2021. and they heightened when talks to integrate the r s f into the army stoled. i really feel very sad and very angry. actually, i'm in rage, and i see i see it all bit most of them sham. when you both of you, you have been in cascade. ah, all this great revolution. and ah, you already committed an unsent. he can pull speaking of viet nam,

us secretary of state antony blinking said washington would continue to support sedans, transition to a civilian lead government. it's a fragile situation. there are other actors that may be pushing against that, that progress. but ah, this is a real opportunity to finally carry for the a civilian la transition. and one that we in and other countries are trying to are to bolster people across sedan, are bracing themselves for more fighting a new crisis and an uncertain future victoria gate and be al jazeera. her morgan has the latest for her to while, despite the calls are for the fighting to offer the situation to deescalate, the fighting is still ongoing. we can still hear heavy artillery being fired in various parts of the capital. hot too, you can still see smoke rising in the northern parts of the capital in the western part of the capital in the city of under man. and the fighting has intensified over

the control of other airports as well. both sides trying to control the airport and that's because the airports will be major supply routes for whatever managers to control it at the state television. and the rapid support forces are inside asper staff, who we spoke to, but they're still fighting on going over the complete control of that facility. so still heavy battles on going between the 2 sides trying to gain controls of major facility around the capital and other states as well. ah, several sides have put out statements calling on both the the iris have commander and the head of the army to use wisdom rather than force to try to iron out their differences and to resolve the issue. but it doesn't look like this is going to happen because we've seen a statement from the head of the army to al jazeera, saying that unless the rapid support forces withdraw from the positions that they have a place, their forces ads over the past 2 days than they will be notarial, there'll be no negotiations. and then we've heard from the commander of the rapid

support forces describing the, the head of the army as a criminal. so it doesn't look like just based on those words that are coming out from both sides. it doesn't look like they're ready to de escalate the situation. it looks like both sides are either side, wants to gain control of as much facilities as they can as much areas as they can before they try to figure out the next step. and if it will be negotiations, both sides wants to thought talks having the upper hand over the other. diane mohammed, i'm the one i own, is a citizen activist joining us by skype, from a cartoon. very good to have you with us. can you give us an idea because i understand that you're still, you're home in the moon and caught him? thought you have been seeing and hearing over the last few hours we haven't seen anything because actually we're not, we haven't ventured outside of the house. i know there's been lost in the arts and the rebates pick up the past 1015 minutes. it's really loud because where i live,

it's close to the airport. so it's like a hub. i been guessing for the clashes between the army and the army. so, but we're hearing conflicting reports, i mean it's all basically word of mouth will be posted on social media. there's nothing official coming up from any site anywhere. so we're just basically using contacts, friends and relatives to get information to put into the area that they're in. like a friend of mine, just message me a few minutes ago. she said it's getting really bad at all with math. so, and here where i am in cartoon, it's also because it's a, it's a, this, the area and it is kind of a hub for the are assessing terms of their headquarters and they have a basis here. so although hi could i get conflict areas and to speak, but it's not looking good because all of the interviews that book committee and were hon gave. we obviously don't know what's, what's next can happen. what's the next step,

but anyone can take or do to de escalate because it doesn't look like they either one of them wants to de escalate the situation. it was only within the last 24 hours of these 2 men were appallingly agreeing some sort of way forward towards a transitional government. some sort of agreement it was hoped was going to be reached over the bringing the a record to support force him to sedans. army and all of a sudden, well, we offer, we are now just a few hours later. how are people in the country reacting to what has been happening? it said literally, everyone was shocked because like you just said, until last night we were all being told and all you reading and hearing that an agreement has been reached. you know, things are ok. but my understanding is there was some elements within the army that were not happy with how more hon reacted to the are assess movements in better we know than sedan. and that could of lead to an escalation. maybe this whole taco

reaching an agreement was just a ploy. and this was what happened was unfolding today was actually the plan all along with a was the r s f or the army policy. i don't think anyone knows. and i think the very obscure statements being released by the lights of the troika and the united states. the you also reflects on them and they also don't know, i sorry, they also don't know where they stand or where the situation is at the moment. actually, we are at the mercy of 2 men, and there are heavily weaponized followers and personnel. dahlia. can i just ask you before you go any further? can i just check that you are safe to talk to us? yeah, i where i'm at home, we're safe. it's just like i said, the constant artillery the house shaking the window so we're trying to keep away from anything that has glass or anything that we're okay. i okay. i and i just want

to ask you one final brief question. in the event that there is some sort of agreement that is reached in the short clam to try to do that leads to some sort of cessation of the fighting that is going on. do you think that the people in sudan are going to be able to trust either side, going forward in the event that they then attempt to rebuild some sort of negotiation? absolutely not. i mean, the soonest people never trusted either side. and i was like that was one of the criticisms regarding the negotiations in the, in the piece building. so when i asked you mom saying i stayed with dalia, i'm very sorry. we are going to have to leave it there because unfortunately the audio signal that we're getting for you is, is becoming quite bad, but thank you very much indeed for being with us on al jazeera. so what is sedans,

rapid support forces? well, the year was formed in 2013 to fight on groups in the da 4 region. it was later used in crackdowns, an anti government protest. the rapids support forces lead the response to rallies in khartoum in june 2019, in which 123 people were killed and hundreds were injured. last month talks between the powder military unit and the army failed to reach an agreement on why and that will be integrated into the armed forces. the rapid support forces, as it needs 10 years for the army, only wants to. my colleague is a member of the sovereign council and head of the sedans people liberation movement . north is a mediator who met rapid support forces answer to these army generals earlier this week. and he was just meet them again on saturday. it is a disturbing on watering situation over when sees a loser, and we ought to do something about it. we try to do about 3 days ago,

myself and my money. we tried to talk to most generals if it's the so that we actually rich some sort of understanding the situation till we that's about actually to meet this morning, then most of them and then they both meet with us so that we use the situation, our preference so that we needed immediate solution or they mediate their problem that we need to create a situation and then you can get the forces. and then what was, what was 5 saudi admin, but formation positions on that one. whether it's a b 2, or which i clearly know it is unfortunate that we are exerting as trying to talk to most yet i was trying to i'm going

into them that if they could make immediate sci fi, i'm again, freeze the situation till we find a solution was in the table to send one this one. did you need so that we ended right. it is a very good by going to continue going to be the 5 is a thing and the last way to be but it but it high. i'm not talking about the, the, the kind of solution to complete the set of priorities to make a media put he's a solution i 0 is muhammad vas covered sedan extensively with us. now live here in the studio. good to have you with us, mike hawk, i was just seeing that there, that wars end on tables. but from what we've been hearing in the last few minutes, it doesn't look like this is gonna end any time soon. where does this leave any possibility for negotiation, at least in this, in the short term, to get some sort of ceasefire. but it doesn't look like he'll be in

a go station any time soon because the 2 men are bent on destroying each other right now. right now, the fighting is intensifying around the homes of both and behind and the, and i'm betty inside cartoon itself and they are not far apart. so that gives us, gives us an indication that mean the aim of both men is to neutralize the other side. on to in terms of leadership. so this is not a moment and this is not the atmosphere that can be conducive to talks when the life of the leader himself is threatened. he's not going to think about unless one of them believes that he is about to be overcome. but that's not, that's not what we see on the ground. we see areas have taking the t v station and the, the army showing some pictures. we don't know if they are true or not, that they are in full control of the metal we base. we have some flight or just in the air and counterclaims or so from ourselves that only one fighter that is now

able to do those louvers. so it, the, from the, what we see on the ground is that both sides are still believing that they can make it, and they can destroy the other side. but we know from the facts on the ground that it's going to take time, because both are well armed. and cartoon is, he is a, a big city and sudan itself is a big country. and both armies are spread across the country. so it's gonna take time before one of the 2 sides believes or, or becomes convinced that it is better to negotiate for the viewers who are just joining us, explain to us that the difference between this is situation, which is one is tempted to said to, to feel as just between the rapid support forces and the student military and their 2 leaders. but it feels as though there's more to it, there are more players in this who are not as high profile, but nevertheless have a significant em to influence. and how this could play a so play out just talk us through what their rules could be and who they might be,

right? at least in terms of the army itself. the army has never been. i mean, not, we're not talking about the top box, but we're talking about some generals in the army and some soldiers, many in the army are not and have never been happy with the presence of our stuff inside captain was up because he think this is a this is a militia from, from, therefore, they were utilized, they were created and utilized merely to, to, to fight with the, the enemies of the government. and the opponents of the government inside that, for their mission is over. they shouldn't be allowed in cotton because they're not capable of running the country. they don't have the right to have a sharing power because that is mostly literate. and they can't run a country. they shouldn't be given this high positioning the army. so within the army itself, there are elements or will never give this compromise will never accept ham dan douglas to be really the leader of the country. that's one think. and this is why

there is some speculation that probably the 2 men did not, none of them did give the they did that, the order to fight. but some, for probably in the middle half started this, took prevent negotiations to prevent a foothold, a lasting foothold for a $400.00 w, and his arissa for militia to become the same. also applies to the others, the dart 40 ins think they have always been marginalized and they are tribal fossils. by the way, essentially, tribal forces, so in tribal herb, in tribal or forces, it's like anything tribal, you don't have only one voice. you have several voices and some, some of them. my say, we now have our, i'll share, we have, this is our time. we are powerful. who should control cartoon cartoon has been submitting us, subject in us, controlling us for a long time. it is now time for us to have to have the power in the center. one would imagine that one of the things that is prevalent in the minds of the sudanese people is whether or not this is going to turn into another civil war in sudan.

briefly, if you can just give us an idea of what, what we should be looking for to see if that is heading towards that and what it would look like when it happened. i mean, so the needs are really now concerned about this, and they think it's very likely to have another civil war in cut them. and this is not going to be like the civil war and are for all the civil war in the south. this is going to be the, the mother of civil war to him. so then because it involves the center itself and it is inside capitol itself. so it is so that the survivor of this, within his estate is at stake. and the number of players, the number of players, is not just the army at the else. if we have half a dozen other organizations malicious who are now located in california, they have been bringing their weapons and men inside got home for years. some of the leaders are ministers and they have a share of power already so they can move around and do and do stuff. and all of

them are, are laid to one side or the other. so there will be called upon to join in order to preserve and maintain their, their prerogative in the, in the power system. and thus, that's why everyone is afraid that this is going to be a multi, a multi appetite civil war that will involve every one incident, almost mom a thank you very much and do this al jazeera as mama val let's move on to other news. the warring sides and the conflicts in yemen have at least more detainees, and the 2nd day of a major prisoner exchange. this is the latest group of healthy prisoners to arrive in santa the red cross says more than 800 detainees from both sides of the conflict . a g to be released by monday. the exchange is part of a broader diplomatic effort to end the 9 year conflict. landra, hey, shamal. messy is a prominent yamani activist and former political detainees. he says civilians have suffered a lot. in yemen,

you have 84 percent of the population in need of some form of a 2 thirds of the population are foot insecure. people are sick. you go and ask any, any on the street these days and tell them, oh sure, when the war, who do you think should have the upper hand? who do you think should become the president of human thought? a lot of yemen is don't tell you. we no longer care and just need electricity, the clean water, we need a job, i need to be able to put bread and the table. that's all i care with. so we're in this level of fatigue that we're really desperate to piece in which ever, whichever way it comes, a lot of people think the end of the war is going to happen within a few weeks or few months. i would caution against that. although i'm optimistic but it's and cautious optimism. it will take at least probably year or 2 years because the conflict is not just simply begin. the food is in the saudis, it's protracted. it's polarized. there are a whole lot more parties and factions inside yemen that need to be brought into the

process. it's an inclusive, holistic and comprehensive process, or the end of the war, or sustainable piece. right now. it does, it is not in that shape yet. a 24 year old man has been arrested after an a part attack aimed at japan's prime minister for your kisha at a political rally. the incident has shocked japan coming just 9 months after the assassination of former prime and a session. so abby, robber bride reports from carrier wasa. in japan. the attack happened as prime minister fumey ok sheeta was about to speak in support of the candidates in an upcoming bi election. there was commotion when someone through what appeared to be a smoke bomb from the crowd. a suspect was quickly wrestled to the ground as casita was hurried away by his security. for
