10:08 am
a fact that there was like a whistling sound like something being dropped. so it hasn't let up. maybe they go quiet for 1015 minutes, and then they start all over again. and it's really beginning to take a toll on all of us, but there's not much we can do all stuck in doors and we just have to try to make the best of it. if we can, you say you're all stuck indoors dial yet. they was a brief, yesterday in fighting. were you able to get out all to, to get food to get a sense short, were you able to venture on northern our area? not in our area. if anything, the passage was supposed to start from 4 o'clock the fighting, intensified from 4 o'clock until 6 o'clock, which is when we were supposed to break our fast because it is so still rama on. so we couldn't do anything, but i do know people in other, other areas of cartoon were able to go out and get some supplies. but there's also
10:09 am
another problem because a lot of factories haven't been working. and there's been power cuts throughout the city of the supermarket their produce and the products have gone bad. so even if we were, if, even if we were able to get that to get out, i don't think we would have been able to find anything. bakeries aren't working, you know, there's no more, there's no movement between the, the urban and rural areas. so the fresh produce. i mean marketing if there's any package to the public. sorry, they probably would have gone bad. 9 9 so as yeah, mainly the passage, the passengers for those who are injured, those who need medical care or medical attention. okay. more than for those you know, whether those people were able to, to reach hospital i honestly, you know, i don't know that on that since i don't know. yeah. yeah.

10:11 am
let's talk on the negotiate. and that's my fear that they've crossed klein and there's no going back. it's just they will just continue until one of them remain standing or i don't know something happened, but i don't think diplomacy is going to work, but i don't know what very sense you get a sense. is there a sense of who has the upper hand right now? no, absolutely not. we don't know who was in control. we don't know who controls the airport . we don't know who controls the national broadcast that we know nothing. i mean, i, i don't know. i mean, i live next to the airport. i have no idea who goes by all i year is just the sound of the artillery and the bullets. but we have no idea who is who and who, and which is you know, which side has started off firing that the other we don't know. i don't think anyone does know. yeah, very day we can take the said look, they released at face value. yeah, thank you so much,
