50 kilometers north, west of car 2. there was fighting around an airport in the city of mirror. we in southern dar for the sudanese army still controls the airport in the town of niagara, but violence has been reported there as well. if morgan reports from country it doesn't look like the situation is the escalating. in fact, the army put out a statement saying that it will not negotiate with the rapid support force of until those forces are dissolved and the rebel. a troops are dealt with. so it looks like if, despite the fact that people have been calling for the escalation of the situation here in the capital and across the country, the armed forces looks like they're going ahead with developing the rapid support forces and continuing to attack, they've already enabled the group as a rebel force and we were seeing a continuing of fighting here in the, in the area of hard to me near the vicinity of the presidential palace. we can still hear shots being fired. we can hear heavy artillery being fired. it's not

clear yet who is in control of the presidential palace, but the army says it is in control of the headquarters. the state television is being battled over both 5 wanting to gain control and how to international airport at the moment looks to be under the control of the armed forces. so the escalation continues and lots of tension here. and big capital as fighting continues between both sides with civilians caught in the middle, the. the heavy fighting spreads through her whom extension between the sudanese army and the powerful paramilitary force spill over into the streets. the army says it's defending itself and attacked by the rapid support forces across the capitol. it's now does it anything before us as a rebel group? now we, the army did not initiate any flights. we were present in our command and we were surprised with the attack at about 910 this morning. coupled with an assault on my

residence, the army did not deploy or make any movement. the army headquarters and presidential palace are under the control of the general command. we do not wish to see this country slipping into war. however, we must teach a lesson to any non regular militia. but the rapid support forced to see 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 with the least of losses. ah, all flights have been cancelled as my tomb international airport. where armed men are on the tarmac and rapid support forces. and so it state television therapist for dan t. v. a bad by the had to san were minus the mural. this was the moment the stations broadcast was cut. the fight think i think has been confined to the capital.

there's been violence in north and south dar, 4, west and north go to find states as well as murder. we in northern sudan, both sides claim control of major facilities there and in other areas. but so far it's been hard to confirm who has the upper hand, the tensions between the army and the rapid support forces emerged. months after a military takeover in 2021 and be heightened when talks they integrate the r s f into the army stalled. i really feel very hard and very angry actually i'm in rage and i see i see a 2 bed. most of them share when you both of you, you have been in caski on this grid devolution and you already committed an incentive speaking in vietnam, u. s. secretary of state, anthony blinking said washington with continue to support for dance transition to a civilian lead government. it's a fragile situation. there are other actors that may be pushing against

that, that progress. but this is a real opportunity to finally carry for the civilian la transition. and one that we and other countries are trying to are to bolster people across to dan are bracing themselves for more fighting a new crisis and an uncertain future. he been morgan all to 0 or to the sudanese army as well as pro democracy groups have long demanded. the rapid support forces be integrated into the military is estimated, the group consists of about $100000.00 fighters. mama vall explains how it was formed up, its support forces are put on military fighters, mainly from dot for the on a safe was created by former president omar bashir in 2013, to stabilize the war torn region in western sudan. and more broadly to consolidate

his personal grip on power. he was concerned about any security institution being strong enough to overthrow and challenge him. so he allowed, you know, he allowed basically a proliferation of different armed groups and centers of power within the country. i. but the origin of the force goes back to 2003. that's when president of the she had created an arm and a tribal militia to crush a local rebellion in the west. the force became known as the gentle wheat sedans. coming through la general update, the data behind was instrumental in creating and training both the gentle wheat and later the us f. he worked in the field for jazz, with his now dead from 100100 douglas known as hannity, the commander of the stuff in 2019 the 2 men joined forces to overthrow the amount of the ship bore. hon headed the transition military council and handed douglas served as his deputy. but the assess continued to grow in both sites and we buy

some estimates. it now both $100000.00 tests on it. it took on several roles including border security and maintaining law and order cross activists accused out of 5th of participating in the killing of $123.00 pro democracy professors in june 2019. but it's how much is aspirations for unrivalled political leadership in cartoon that led to dis, called with his ally, elbow han, and paved the way for the current situation. differences over the terms of integration of the stuff into the army intensified after the signing of a framework agreement that lay the foundations for the transitional period in december, 2020 to the failure of talks on this. and other issues. finally, led to what observers have been warning about and all our military confrontation practice group was warning. just 10 years ago. you know, while bus here was still in power, that if you ever left power,

one of the big concerns would be that he left behind such a mess in terms of the military insecurity. that a huge risk was that these parties with themselves turn on each other as ever. it says, typically in population, but the price, palpable fear of the current conflict may prove more deadly and more distracted by any so that has witnessed in the past 100 fine. i'm just, you know, let's take a closer look how matters evolved the most recent bout of instability in saddam and began in 2019. that's when the military ousted long time, the, the out, the sheer after months of mass protests. then the army moved against the protest us, but under international pressure it was forced to sign a power. sharon agreement with civilian groups. elections were set for 2023. not tobar 2021 yet another military take over, unseated prime minister, abdullah hun dog. who was seen as the face of the transition to democracy on

december 5th, last year, military leaders signed another deal with political groups promising to pave the way for fair elections and returned to civilian rule. and 2 weeks ago, sudan was set to take the next step, but disputes about how to integrate the rapid support forces into the army got in the way. or how may the color follow is a researcher and a policy analyst based in cotton. he says some political groups in sudan had been aggravating the situation for the past few days. i look of islamist needed associated to a good many deal formative i've been going on in social media and just think that the next few days would be very critical, very. 9 you know, strong responses to that continuous exclusion of these limits and that what does it best continues to exclude them? and so, and so they have been openly mobilizing the agents that i live in the military and

other associates throughout different groups to continue quinn q and the higher between, between the poses. i'm the military system that has had a huge cause in, i think, in the least between books for me and i'm all, i'm not independent in any way and i'm not operating on their own anyway. then they're both an extension for aged and, and so on. and with the international community they think they get on the respective lives of the of the half. and the. busy and pushing them to, to, to this total come and to end the fighting and go back to talks. i would definitely go along with the other news now yelman's warring sides have released more detainees on the 2nd day of

a major prisoner exchange. this was the latest group of the prisoners to arrive in the rebel control capitol. so now dozens of troops from the south. the lead coalition were also released on saturday exchanges, part of a broader diplomatic effort to end 80 or long conflict. it's a special moment, and i think that to have all actors willing to have these really doing the ramadan, having, you know, the detainees who have been separated from this have any for us to, to join again. it's more than just a radio. it's a release during ramadan and we inside so it's it's a powerful side. it's a very powerful, a lot have the last or the i me thank god, what i'm feeling is indescribable. i've never felt like this in my life. it's like i was reborn. i kinda know what i'm asking. yeah, i did. my name is alma mohammed ali ali from re ma governor it. i was held at alpha

ria for years. we've badly treated. thousands of protests has returned to the streets of israel for 15 straight week to oppose the government's plans over hold of the judiciary. prime minister, benjamin netanyahu put the changes on hold in march, in response to the demonstrations. the bill comes before parliament again later this month. the proposals with limits the power of the supreme court and gift politicians more se, in choosing judges. so said i was at the protests in television, and even tens of thousands of his rallies are taken to speak to it, protest against their governors plans to overhaul the traditional system. so the israeli government says that the supreme court in the company is becoming too much powerfully and that's why they're coming with some suggested changes. so simply, the government wants to add that wants to simple majority of the parliament to override all the decisions made by the supreme court. and also the government wants

to be able to appoint the majority of the judges in the supreme court of the committee. the protested here are saying that if that also is adopted, that's going to destroy the check and checks and balances and also the separation off the palmers. so and also they say are dad that but they did that. they have government is jordan in the country, into a dictatorship. so they wanted to take control from the dodges. and we don't want to like, this is very dangerous because he's the head of going to control every link. this is mean, it's not them of rugby any more, it's big that to on we all frame, can we not agree? and we're going to fight from the lease broadcast or taking place under the shadow of the recent pension and ongoing crisis in the counter. however, many of the protesters here are saying that the ongoing crisis has purposefully

been triggered by the own government, and they said that the security doesn't come without miss white. this is with still ahead. on al jazeera, controversial pension reform, signed into law in france. but union se protest will continue. thus an act of derek from the dang, you will tell you if this height, why a performer, manage that 1st crossing without a safety ah, the who's off. we go with your weather headlines for the americas. thank you for joining in storms are rolling across the midwest in the great lakes that's wiping out the heat

ah, without a 0 reminder about top stores. now, medical sources in sudan say at least 56 people have been killed during fist fighting between the army and the countries largest power military rapids support forces. much of the violence has been concentrated capital cartoon. so don's army has ruled out negotiations for the rockets forces, which it has now designated as a rebel green. the surgeon fighting is the latest blow to saddam's hopes for a transition to democracy. while have been coals for restraint from the international community united nations secretary general antonia gutierrez, shantee, special envoy to saddam have condemned the violence and called for an immediate end to the fighting. the arab league is urging all sides to protect civilians and

prevent any further escalation and the african union. these at pushing for an end to the fighting under return to the negotiating table of a would sin that was deputy head of mission at the u. s. embassy in saddam, he says the international community failed to read the early warning signs of potential conflict. the outbreak of fighting or did catch the international community by surprise. the fact that the framework agreement was not being implemented on schedule was certainly an indicator that things were not going well . and that there could be difficulties. but they have this, this kind of significant fighting and various parts of sudan all at the same time. i think those clearly surprise the idea will be to go back to the framework agreement, what, whatever pressure they can on all parties to return to the framework agreement. and ideally to implement it, to the point part eventually results in a, in

a civilian government. and the country that concept has been pretty much over the short term been destroyed. i don't, i don't see that happening anytime real soon. when you prepare the rapids support forces, i guess most of it support from witches is western song all western sudan. in addition, they apparently have a significant military presence at merrill way on the egyptian border that could pose horrific problems even if the situation could be resolved in and around cartoon or along the nile. the foreign ministers of the g 7 group of nations or in japan for the annual meeting with a worn ukraine. lucky to dominate the agenda. united states and its allies are concerned about the developing ties between russia and china. mid fears of a new cold war. rob mcbride reports from the car is our as they did last

is not japan that is raising the threat, but the surrounding authoritarian regimes and dictatorships about homelessness. and with concerns, the strains of war are testing the unity of g 7 members. the u. s. attempts to get its allies to hold the line will be fully supported by a japanese administration. notching in lockstep robert bride al jazeera caroway is our japan. japan's prime minister julio casita has called for security to be boosted for the g 7 meeting. it comes a day off and explosive was thrown at him during a campaign event escaped on home that a 20 foil man was arrested and who gave me see to further investigations will be conducted as the investigation into this incident progresses. in any case, starting with the summit, we have to make every effort to ensure security and safety on the schedule for dignitaries from all over the world gather. i want to do my best to insure safety.
