here is investigative unit, because under cover in southern africa burnett, we control 90 percent of the government. once it's going, it's perfectly brand new, good part, full on al jazeera, the latest news, as it breaks over the years, trump 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 their defenders what profit real now jet associates, what question to be in demand from around the world? it's an indication of how reliant benjamin netanyahu is on support from the far right. plans with a so called national guard have suddenly feed them. aah! or as strikes in gun fly, continue for 2nd day in sudan between the army and its rival power. military force

raising fears were full scale war conflict takes a heavy toll. 56 civilians killed the un and well power called for an immediate de escalation. ah, at mccloud, this is out 0 line from to host coming up. g 7, a foreign ministers meet in japan to discuss the world's most pressing issues, including the war and ukraine. orthodox christian worshippers in ukraine and russia celebrate easter, despite divisions in the church over the war. so there being more as strikes this, you dance capital cartoon, where rival military lead is a jostling for power. threading the nation into, carol's, the fighting has now spread across the country. the west, the violence has been sent it on the capital ta tomb. and they ring on de map by sides have been buying for control. those who don state broadcaster the

presidential palace the airport in various military bases, or at least 56 civilians have been killed. but that number is likely to be much higher. hundreds of people have been injured. sedans army has ruled out negotiations with the rapid support forces, which it has designated a rebel group. the african union has convened an emergency session to discuss the developments. discussed right now to him morgan in talk to him and have it. tell us now what the latest is while fighting is still ongoing between the rapid support forces and the sudanese army in various parts of the capitol. hot room fighter jets can be witnessed in several districts seeming to targets a r s f locations using airstrikes and we can see plumes of smoke where those tribes have been carried out. we have statements from the rapid support forces that they were a bit that they withdrew from some of their bases and that they were not defeated

as the army says. but the army said that they were able to take control of nearly all the bases belonging to the rapid support forces in the city of om doorman. here in the city of hot tomb. in the southern part, there are heavy fighting, continuing in menaced on many streets on many districts. and their lot of concerns were among civilians on what is going on, who has the upper hand around the vicinity of the presidential palace. it's relatively quiet, but around the vicinity of the army headquarters, the general command there is fighting reported between the r s f and the army. so fighting still ongoing between the 2 sides doesn't seem to be a d escalating anytime soon. and in other parts of the country, it seems like the fighting is spreading in the eastern city of port sudan. there is fighting between the 2 sides. the army says it's taking control of the r s f bases in golardo, if enough, casella, and in the southern city of cosi. so, it looks like this is actually escalating and not the escalating or what kind of impact is it, having on people across the country. how's it affecting the daily lives of people?

because this fighting happened without any prior a heads up for many people here. it was a weekend way. it started in the early hours of saturday. many of them were not expecting. and so did not had they did not take precautionary measures and shops have been closed since the fighting started in the early hours of saturday. and they still have yet to open in many districts of hot room. so many people say that they are facing food shortages, water has been cut out in some districts, there is electricity occurred, electricity outside as well. and then there's the issue of internet. some people reports internet outage in some districts of hot assume. so lots of content and these are the people who are doing all right when it comes to their health. nearly 600 people have been injured. many of them have difficulty accessing health facilities and when they do manage to access a hospitals, there's the issue of shortage of medical personnel because even nurses and doctors can't access hospitals and can't leave their homes because of the uncertainty on

the streets and hot zoom and other places, he bet, thanks to that to him and morgan reporting that from how to him. thank you. well sued ons, national army is considered one of the strongest in the horn of africa, but the rabbit support forces is also a powerful paramilitary group. so how do they square up? well, the sudanese army is about $205000.00 to personnel in its ranks, including some $100000.00 active duty soldiers. and his air force has a 191 craftiness, one of its most important strengths is no confirmed information about the power of the rapid support forces, but it's best to make it. it has around 800000 troops and about $10000.00 vehicles, which are mostly 4 wheel drives carrying weaponry like antiaircraft guns and canons . at let's in our from our course one at mohammed val, who explains how the paramilitary force was formed. that up it's support forces are put on military fight, as mainly from don for the our staff 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 wasn't asthma, but the origin of the false goes back to 2003. that's when president of the ship created and armor, the tribal militia to crush a local rebellion in the west. the force became known as the gentle wheat sedans come through the general abdel for tangible hon was instrumental in creating and training both the don't a wheat and later the r f. he worked in the field for years with his now deadly. i from lambert hampton douglas. known as hammer t, the commander of the outer surf in 2019 the 2 men joined forces to overthrow i'm out of the ship. behind headed the transitional military council and had done

douglas served as his deputy. but the art of theft continued to grow in both sides and means by some estimates it now boss $100000.00 puffs on a it took on several roads including border security and maintaining law and order cross. so that activists accused ourselves of participating in the killing of 123 pro democracy protest as in june, 2019. but it's him at his aspirations for unrivalled political leadership in costume. that led to discourse with his ally, albert han and paved the way for the current situation. differences over the terms of integration of the asset into the army intensified after the signing of a framework agreement that lay the foundations for the transitional period. in december, 2022. the failure of talks on this and other issues. finally led to what observers have been warning about an all out military confrontation. crisis group was warning

. i just hate years ago. you know, while basil was still empowered, that if he ever left our one of the big concerns would be that he left behind such a mass in terms of the military insecurity. that a huge risk was that these parties would themselves turn on each other as ever. it's the civilian population will pay the price. those impalpable fear of the current conflict may prove more deadly and more destructive than any sudan has witnessed. in the past. um, advice of jesse that's mohammed. well, emma wells here right now because he is covered student extensively. so 1st up as fighting goes on and seems to be intensifying in certain areas. is it possible to say the degree of support free the site? well is, i mean, obviously the, i mean one of the 2 sides is, is a, is a, a guests in cartoons and in most parts of savannah. thus alice, if they hear from southern dar for, from the al a district and the even inside are for itself. they don't represent the majority in

terms of tribal structure, the demography there are. so i and i, in, in the, in this, this means that in cotton and in other parts of central and northern sudan and east from sudan, they don't have the popular support. they need to continue this fight if they can rely on the, the money they have on the weaponry they have, because they have been working a lot for years. but in terms of popular support, they don't have much of it in most of sudan ra, a. you i, to my, as far as just then the, the, the military, other 2 military sites measure up. is it possible to say which side has the advantage, or is it kind of different fighting mechanisms that they have historically this, within his army was i had the upper hand, is that the, they have a lot of experience fighting rebellions in, in the south. and in the, not in the, in the west, and they have been managing the switch and even the, with the south,

you know, for 20 yes. so they have a lot of expertise, senior commanders and so on and an accumulation of what period some of it is older now. or they can always say they can always claim that, you know, they have what it takes in terms of expertise and, and readiness, and also national support to do to, to, to, to were when this war for era seth is a younger force. their creation is recent and they have a lot of resources. they receive money from e, u, a, in the name of fighting against contraband and, and illegal migration. and they receive money from many other sources. they actually sent troops to yemen. and that me is, i mean, doing though, what saudi lead a campaign in yemen. and that me is probably some, are some financial support from saudi arabia during the last few years. they can rely on the money they have to recruit young fighters and they can buy weapons if they want, because this vast country borders are open,

it's desert and so on. but i think the popular support is key and the ability to maintain and continue this fight in a cross, sudan is, is also key. and that's something that is very unlikely that big right? in that you're right. so we are where we are. things seem to be intensify in certain areas. what will it take to calm things down from the looks of it right now or it looks like these 2 leaders, one to a, you know, each one of them wants to is adamant on neutralizing the other side. at least in terms of the leadership. they think that if they neutralize the leadership, they can, they can easily know when the situation, you know, but it's, it's, it's, so it's gonna take either a sweep or sweeping, quick victory in, in, by just a few days. take the bases and control everything and prove it to them to the

public. so that the other side, it realizes that it has to, they have to negotiate. if that doesn't happen, and if the situation remains, as it is now, i think at each side will continue to believe that they can win this war. and that means there is no negotiation. he says, my personal understanding at talking about the foreign players. it's very clear that the foreign players are either unable or unwilling to stop this because they can. i think they can stop it because they sent money. they send weapons and so on . i'm not talking, i'm not giving specific names, but there are countries that support this side or the other. they can, i think use the leverage the have to force a to impose negotiations, but we don't know about their intentions. we did hear from the sex your say didn't we're saying that there were lies here at moments of opportunity to go on with the goal of a civilian lead government. but yeah, right now that seems like a i don't know why. i don't know why he says it's an earth unity. maybe he's saying

that you know, now that they have seen the danger of the prospect of a protracted civil war. that could be an opportunity for us, for the parties to realize that negotiation is better than fighting. i mean, i think that's what he means. otherwise, what type of opportunity i don't know. what about the people who don't you think finally made you think they saw this coming? yes. or when i was there a few months ago, everybody was talking about this. and not only this, but even we're still talking about the, the likelihood of other parties, the half dozen other armed militia that now reside in cotton. and they have their weapons to join such a fight. if any fight happens between if any fighting happens between amber hunt and allison leader committee, both of them have allies among the rebels, the extra bulls and the rebels who are still in cotton with the what does it's on.

and it's very likely that each for each one of these 2 commanders will call on his, on his allies to join, to help him otherwise, you know, they will lose their prerogative. i'm interested in the country. some of them are ministers. all right, so the how to handle it. appreciate your analysis and expertise. thanks very much. did thank you. and these are some extraordinary contrasting pictures of what people ensued on or what she on television and what is unfolding outside that state television, showing a performance. and you can see also the pictures of devastation outside, so somebody see where and that's will show us the tv. the reality outside is smoke over the capital to lead to her and al jazeera why protest is in france, say they'll continue the action despite the president signed into law a controversial pension bill. plus, i'm rob rentals and los angeles will take

a closely studying the earthquake that hit turkey and syria in february, but hoping to learn how their own quite pro region might fair of something similar happened. rob reynolds reports not from los angeles. the devastating earthquake in turkey and syria is sending shock ways of concern half a world away to california. these workers are retrofitting an older residential building to make it more earthquake resistant. the main thing we're doing is we've installed this wide flange column and it's going to be connected to this foundation here. many such buildings were built without enough steel to reinforce concrete structural pillars and beams. they lack what engineers called ductile strength. so the word duct islet, yet as to do with flexibility, a building has to be able to move a little bit, and concrete is really strong, but it's, it's a little brittle and it's not very flexible. and so having enough steel inside is what makes it flexible because steel is very ductile. the magnitude 7.8 turkey

syria quake happened in a seismic zone. strikingly similar to the san andreas fault, which ones through los angeles county home to 9300000 people are actually very similar, quick sounds. her falls on southern california is no stranger to large earthquakes . the 994 northridge quake was a magnitude 6.7. and it could happen again in los angeles. there are about 1200 older buildings like this one. that engineer say would be heavily damaged if the city were struck by an earthquake of the same magnitude as the one that hit turkey and syria. the los angeles county board of supervisors recently voted to create new rules requiring retrofitting of older non ductile buildings. and to create an inventory of vulnerable structures,

experts who have modeled quake scenarios, say, loss of light in the event of a major l lake wake would be much smaller than in turkey and syria because of better construction. nonetheless, there will be a loss of life and there will the sunday of destruction and people got to rebuild its gonna be a big hit. the worst part will be the aftermath with major highways, possibly severed electric power and water pumping stations, knocked offline for weeks. los angeles is preparing itself, but the force is slowly grinding beneath the surface or unstoppable. rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles. now india will soon become the world's most populous nation . the exact figure would be named for at least a year. it's once in a decade census was due in 2021, but was delayed by the pandemic. and that's depriving those she should be eligible for critical aid. michael apple as this report to me shadows value i,
