2:17 am
it's an indication of how reliant benjamin netanyahu is on support in the fall, right. the plans for the so called national guard have suddenly been up vomiting lou. ah, welcome back. you're watching out as aaron. i'm the stars you take here and her. let's remind you that top stories. there's been more fighting between rival forces in sudan after a brief humanitarian pause. on the 2nd day of hostilities at east 56 civilians have already been killed and battles between the army and the countries largest power min a trigger. gunman and became foster, have killed at least 40 members of the country security forces during an attack on
2:18 am
unit soldiers and civilian volunteers are among the dead. la, yeoman's warring sides have competed a large scale prisoner. it's james. the red cross says at least $860.00 detainees from both sides were freed. it's raised hopes of an end to the countries long running conflict. a more now on our top story, the violent power struggle in sudan and the country's former prime minister, abdullah ham dock says he rejects foreign involvement. ham dog himself was deposed and a military crew in 2021. he also wants issue monetary and corridor to give civilians access to food and medicine. i do look for you to the who ignore beef ashanda to learn what i call for denying any foreign intervention in sydney's affairs. we ask the international community to have a positive role to support the return of political dialogue. and i invite once again, the military and the rapid support forces to hold negotiations. now to solve the
2:19 am
disagreements that have led to the situation. while not bryden is a strategic advisor. it's a hand research i think tank focusing on politics and security in one of africa. he says the violence could be stabilized 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 has been following the tensions in 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 key 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,
2:20 am
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 in students 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. i'm leaving on and losing bank has been affected by 3 major slight cones in 5 years. expect the warning that the country must be prepared for more extreme weather out there. a

spend a day with a fisherman who says he's already feeling the impact of climate change. sham, the dears, david, my name is d, us davida. i am a fisherman at a fishing area and my po, taught mozambique, and my bordeaux was on the at all, man, dear. all right, now what i am seeing is because of the climate change before with our grandfathers and there was a loss of cash north of spies, not as of was i think i come from a family that relies on fishing. i am also a fisherman and my children will probably be fishermen who is under gun man. do these cycling? some floods have reduced the amount of fish we catch. it's possible that when my children's time comes they won't be any fit. joyce goes into barzyk lonny chaise, who do the climate and floods is what's causing this, says 2014, that has not been a lot of fish. it keeps on reducing. the problem is that the constant wind and the
2:22 am
flooding in the sea means there is a lot of river water mixing would perceive water in the town, are very much page by the commander ah, shaggy, basically the last floods in february. there was a lot of river water. we stayed for long periods without fishing and even the days that we went got we came back without any fish. nose are fed up or gay north, give them a shout. nobody is affects us because we make a living from fishing when we returned without any fish. there is no money and we can't earn a living with them. in columbia, a rebel green prince broke away from the fox to carry on the armed campaign against the government is now ready the peace talks. as a leaders meeting, the dissident m. c. group says it will be ready for dialogue from next month and rejected a peace deal with the government, which other fog rebels accepted back in 2016. the deal protects former combatants from any potential jail sentences. nearly half

a 1000000 people account and the conflict seismologists. and even state of california are closely studying the earthquakes that hit to key and syria in february. they're hoping to learn how they're earning a quake. praying region might fast something similar happened that her balance reports have from los angeles. the devastating earthquake in turkey and syria is sending shock waves 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 install 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,
2:24 am
but it's, it's a little brittle. 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 $1200.00 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 ductile buildings,
2:25 am
and to create an inventory of vulgar will 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, but nonetheless, there will be loss away and there will be some day of destruction and people gather rebill. that's going to 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 the longest running stage, musical and broadway history is taking its final bow. android, where does blockbuster show the fans in the upper has the rail, that there's a fans for decades. but as gabrielle is under reports from new york,
2:26 am
the phantom could not survive it. after 35 years on broadway phantom of the opera is dropping the curtains for good. for most, it will be the last time they see the musical. at least here, we want to see the phantom one more time before it else. sadly phantom of the opera, based on the french novel from 1910 1st day viewed in london in 1986, 2 years later in new york city. since then, it has 2 world wide wheat and seen by a 140000000 people in 33 countries. but it's 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 this theater, it's a big orchestra. 26 pieces of metal. it's a big, beautiful costumes. i mean it's,
2:27 am
it's everything that we offer is everything. almost $20000000.00 tickets have been sold to its showings, $13981.00 performance is 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 rising cost to put on the production, add it all up. and that's why producers decided their show could no longer go on.
2:28 am
but not all is lost. phantom is still playing her majesty's theatre in london at their plans for a mandarin version to open in china next year. gabriel's on to how jersey york. well, that's faint to kristen salumi, she's outside the majestic theater on broadway with that final performance is currently taking place kristen, the end of an era's now what just minutes away off to almost $14000.00 performances, but i see it's had a pretty good run these last few months it sure has, i mean the so much excitement tonight, so much buzz on the red carpet behind me. the cast is on stage right now. literally getting ready to take its final curtain call and a very bitter sweet moment for fans of phantom of the opera after 35 years. so many performances, 14000 performance is towed all a lot of people had stopped coming to the show. after the pandemic, ironically,
2:29 am
they decided to call it quits because attendance was down. and the soon as they announced the end of the show, people started buying up the tickets and they were selling out and they had to add 8 more weeks to accommodate all of the last minute interests. but this is in the final show, a lot of stars on the red carpet attending a show. that is very quint, essentially broadway and very dramatic staging. apic music that keeps people coming back for more. i talked to one woman before the show who had seen it more than 50 times already and was in tears talking about the end of this era. and i'll that's the way a lot of people feel about the show. i'm sure kristen, i hear the man himself as this, and i to andrew lloyd webber. the composer is here for the final show. we also saw lid men. well, miranda, the mag hamilton,
2:30 am
that hit musical was on the red carpet. andrew lloyd webber and back got keys to the city of new york on friday as such an epic event that this is, but you know, it's not his last rodeo, as they say, he's written more than 20 musicals and there's another one playing just down the street on broadway here called bad cinderella. and even though this is the last night for phantom at the majestic theater here on broadway, the show will go on elsewhere. it's still playing in london. it's still playing in australia. there's gonna be a staging of it in china in the coming year and a spanish version as well. so the end of an era here on broadway, but not the end of phantom of the opera. ah.
