tgc analysis era. 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 seeking to reduce their defenders. what profit we all know, just as a 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 of plans with the so called national guard, have suddenly feed there is no channel that covers world news like we do. we revisit places the state of missouri really invest in that. and that's a privilege. as a journalist. ah, there's been more violin seems to damns capital cartoon despite the warring sides, agreeing to a temporary pause in fighting at least $56.00 civilians have been killed since

saturday. including 3 aid workers, the world food program has stopped its operations across sudan. ah, i'm several venue. this is al jazeera, alive from doha. also coming up today, a prisoner exchanged between yeomans, who the rebels and the saudi u. h. e. coalition comes to an end, nearly $900.00 detainees have been released. and g 7 foreign ministers meet in japan to discuss the world's most pressing issues, including the war and ukraine. ah, we begin in cartoon, we're fighting his continued over the last several hours despite sedans, army and the rapid support forces paramilitary group agreeing to a temporary pause on humanitarian grounds. the country has seen

a bit of power struggle since saturday, when the airstrikes and done battles began. at least 56 civilians have been killed and hundreds injured. the u. n's world food program says 3 of its employees were killed and it has stopped the operations in the country. so this is the state of play and sudan at the moment fighting has spread across the country, but the worst of the violence has centered on the capital cartoon and neighboring on. dorman, both sides have been vying for control of the state broadcast or the presidential palace, the airport, and multiple military bases here. but morgan has more from court to we can see forms of smoke continuing to rise in various parts of the capital, including the southern part of how to me. and i'm not sure if you can hear serial, but we can hear the sound of heavy artillery continuing to be fired. it's not clear yet who is firing at who at this point. and that's because both sides claim to have the upper hand, the rapid support for to say they're in control of the presidential palace,

but they're in control of the television and that they're in control of the army headquarters. now we've seen pictures both the, by the 4th thing showing that they are inside or rather than the armed forces are inside the headquarters of the army headquarters. so it looks like the army is in control of its general command at the moment, but fighting is ongoing around its facility. and that's where you can see both plumes of smoke coming from. this is the direction of the general command of the army headquarters. lots of tension here and because they, the sci fi, some people have stepped out into the streets, hoping to leave the hospitals and schools where they were trapped or access medical facilities. but right now that doesn't look like something that will be possible for them. people have been confused when the fighting thought that it was a saturday morning, which was a weekend here. many people were thinking that it was going to be an average day. so many people did not take precautionary measures with regards to what is unfolding right now. many people did not throw or extra food at home. many people

did not take, did not figure out or did not know that this was going to happen. the integration of the rapid support forces into the regular army has been one of the main demands of proto mosque or democracy groups for a civilian transition. last month talks between the paramilitary unit and the army failed to reach an agreement because the unit says it needs 10 years. but the army wants that done in to mom and vall explains how the paramilitary force was formed up to support forces upon military fight, as merely from the for the safe was created by former president omar bashir in 2013 to stabilize the water 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.

but the origin of the false goes back to 2003. that's when president of the ship created an arm of the tribal militia to crush a local rebellion in the west. a force became known as the gentle sedans. coming through the general of this 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 glue known as hannity, the commander of the stuff in 2019 the 2 men joined forces to overthrow the amount of the ship. hon headed the transitional military council and handed douglas served as his deputy. but the art says continue to grow in both fights and by some estimates it now both 100000 tests on it. it took on several roles including border security and maintaining law and order cross sudan activists accused out of 5th of participating in the killing of $120.00 for the pro democracy professors in june

2019. but it's how much is aspirations for rival political leadership in cartoon that led to discourse 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 and other issues. finally, led to what the observers have been warning about and all our military confrontation practice group was warning just 10 years ago. you know, while by 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 would themselves turn on each other as ever explicitly in population, but the price, palpable fear of the current conflict may prove more deadly and more distractive

than any. so that has witnessed in the past 100 fine or just, you know, well more on that sedans. national army is considered one of the strongest in the horn of africa, but the r s f is also powerful paramilitary groups. so just how do they square up? well, the sudanese army has about $205000.00 personnel and its ranks, including some $100000.00 active duty soldiers. and its air force has 191 aircraft, one of its most important strengths. there is no confirmed information about the strength of the rapid support forces, but it is estimated. it has 800000 troops. and about 10000 vehicles, mostly 4 wheel drives carrying weaponry like anti aircraft guns and canons. matt braden is a strategic advisor. it's a 100 research, a think tank focusing on politics and security in the horn of africa. and he says the violence will effect the entire region. there really doesn't seem to be any

indication from the side that there is a, an option of negotiation. both are seeking total victory, and i don't think that's a surprise for anyone who's been following the tensions and the build up this conflict. now we're sudan to descend into full scale civil war. then the entire horn of africa, region, ethiopia, the, the most populous country in the region will be heavily affected south sudan, which is in crisis. egypt, which is one of the keep backers of the regime in cartoon. chad, which has been hosting student is refugees for many years, all would be heavily effected. and so there is a scramble, including an african union emergency meeting this afternoon, or today in added sub about to try to respond to the crisis. but for now, what's happening incident seems to be moving beyond anybody's control. i don't

think there's any single actor that has the leverage with both sides. the united arab emirates has leverage, has, has been engaging with both sides in the build up to this conflict. egypt is of course, a major backer of the government in, in cartoon, other gulf states also have stakes. and the united states has been trying to exercise some diplomatic leverage in the last year or so. at least 4 people have been killed and several others injured at a mast shooting in the us state of alabama. it happened that a birthday party for a 16 year old and a small town of dade vill most of the victims were teenagers. according to the police department, it is not yet clear what led to the incident or whether the suspect was arrested. ask you to please keep our community in your prayer. i ask you to keep my police department in your prayers. and i also ask interviews. please do not lit this

the british foreign secretary. he posted a selfie of himself and his 6 colleagues arriving on the specially charted shin cancel. the bullet train coming from tokyo waited all smiles, no hint of any disagreement, but we do know that they have intentions in particular, in the approach of the g 7 towards china and especially on the in the wake of the emmanuel macro. and the french president's visit to beijing seen by many of his g 7 colleagues, has been just a bit too overly friendly with g, g, and ping. given that the us wants to try to rally the lies to counter the growing influence of china in this part of the world, which is not seen as a good thing by the united states. but so we see from the french foreign minister kathleen collar not a damage control at this sunday evening. moving forward. she is having to outline the frances position when it comes to dealing with china that she isn't,

that they are not breaking away from the other european allies in particular from the united states. in fact, she has been tweeting that all of the g 7 are united when it comes to supporting a free and open indo pacific that's taken as being aimed at china and china's intentions. in this part of the, the world, the warring sides in yemen is conflict, have released more detainees for a 3rd and final day as part of a large scale prisoner exchange. this is the latest group of the prisoners to arrive in the rebel controlled capital. santa dozens of troops from the saudi u. e collision coalition are also being released. the red cross says more than 900 prisoners from both sides have been freed in the operation exchange as part of a broader diplomatic effort. the end of the 8 year long conflict, the t, mr. tor from the international committee of the red cross has travelled on the flights with the release prisoners, and she says it was a moment of pure joy when they arrived at the airport. it's such an amazing

momentum. it's such a beautiful moment of happiness and joy that we can witness a big deal course every time it's needed and it to the whole and you know, those who felicia, the all new to this week version 900. where with over thousands of people would be able to send together this year. our goal here as being a national company, the red cross beyond taking the changes from a to b. o, here is also took action monday with me that my critics, i mentioned we able to visit with you in private before the course of the week before trips with one of the conditions. and during those visits, we were able to check if they had any special needs. if they were aware just to

the united nations secretary general, antonio gutierrez and his special envoy to sedan 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 is pushing for an end to the fighting. and to return to the negotiating table, the sydney's ambassador to the arab league says sudan should be wary of international involvement. if we have to affirm that what is happening in sudan is an internal issue. and at the same time, all efforts needed from all worldly arab countries in order to calm the situation in the country. we call upon this meeting to confirm this point and to recommend that the settlement be left to the sudanese away from international interference. at least 16 people have died in an apartment building fire in dubai. the blades swept through a 5 story building in the l. ross neighborhood,

which is home to many migrant workers. the civil defense said it appeared. the structure was not compliant with safety regulations. migrant workers often live in overcrowded subdivided apartments and police in india or investigating the killing of a former politician and his brother who were shot dead on live tv at t kind of rough mud or targeted. while under police escort and tar pradesh province on saturday, they were on their way to the hospital. when 3 gunmen pretending to be journalists fired at them at close range, the suspects are now in custody. and he who son was also recently shot dead, was a convicted criminal, jailed in 2019 for kidnapping. i mean, even the people who killed were brought from medical checkups as per the mandatory legal requirements. and they were members of the media around who interviewing them . according to primary information, 3 men came posing as media personnel and started firing. 3 people have now been

which is really wrong because just to mr. yogi was the chief minister, aspire the order has deemed to becoming the premise of this country, and this will not go on very well with whatever has happened. orthodox, christian worshipers have been gathering and occupied eastern slim for easter celebrations. after weeks of violence in the old city, which is home to christian, muslim and jewish, holy sides, israeli police, or restricting access to the area. in previous years, up to 10000 people packed the church of the holy support and its surrounding that has now been limited to under 2000 and. and in russia and ukraine, festivities come at a time of war, deepening a growing rift between the 2 churches to be treated as co, has more oh, the bells chime and rushes. most of in celebration of orthodox easter, as worshippers flocked to prey and have that traditional painted eggs and easter

bread blessed many had the war in ukraine on their mind. i have a lot of relatives in ukraine, and a lot of them have died. it is scary to talk about it because i might be persecuted for what i'm seeing now. it's very scary stuff quickly for the good, but it was a lot even though there is a war between good and evil going on. and we understand perfectly that evil wants to win. nobody likes our orthodox world. everybody wants to destroy, it. was in moscow, president putin attended east a service, led by patriarchy, real. soon after russia launched its invasion of ukraine, the russian orthodox patriarch announced his churches support for the war. almost the ukrainian orthodox church already at odds with moscow. after the annexation of crimea responded by announcing it would cut all ties to the moscow patria kate

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 a flexible because steel is very ductile. the magnitude 7.8 turkey syria quake happened in a seismic zone. strikingly similar to the san andreea's fault, which ones through los angeles county home to 9300000 people are actually very similar. quakes owns her falls on southern california is no stranger to large earthquakes. the 1994 northridge quake was a magnitude 6.7 and could happen again in los angeles. there are about $1200.00 older buildings like this one that engineers 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 duct tile 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 also life, and there will be some new destruction and people gather, rebuild. it's 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 forces slowly grinding beneath the surface, our unstoppable rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles. the phantom of the opera is falling silent. the longest running stage musical in broadway history will take its final bow on sunday. andrew lloyd webber's block buster show his thrilled

theatre fans to decades. but as gabriel elizondo reports from new york, a phantom could not survive cove it. after 35 years on broadway bank and the opera is dropping the curtains for good. for most, it will be the last time they see the musical, at least here, wanted to see the phantom one more time before. sadly, the phantom of the opera, based on the french novel from 1910 1st debuted in london in 1986, 2 years later in new york city. since then, it has to were widely seen by a 140000000 people in 33 countries. but here on broadway, that is often a highlight for theater fans. the musical has over a 130 cast crew and orchestra members involved in every performance. it's a full meal when you walk into the theater. the big orchestra,

26 people throughout the big, beautiful costume. i mean it's, it's, everything we offer is everything. almost 20000000 tickets have been sold to its showings. $13981.00 performances and $1300000000.00 in gross sales. 35 years on broadway. $1300000000.00. that's unheard of. but the coven pandemic force broadway to go completely dark. for nearly 18 months. the music stopped when broadway finally fully reopened in september 2021. audiences were slow to return. and the ones who did often book tickets for other marquee plays, such as lion king, chicago, or hamilton ticket sales to phantom of the opera plummeted, and could not offset the rising cost to put on the production,

add it all up. and that's why producers decided show could no longer go on, but not always last. phantom is still playing at her majesty's theatre in london, and their plans for a mandarin version to open in china next year. gabriel's ando al jazeera new york. and that is it from me, cyril danya. you can find more information on our website as always, al jazeera dot com. we'll leave you with these live pictures of smoke rising over cartoon. we're fighting between sedans, army and paramilitary forces continues. also inside story is up next with more on the fierce power struggle between those 2 groups. ah ah
