11:03 am
while we can still hear heavy artillery being fired from various parts of the capitol, hotel room, especially in the northern parts of the capitol and in the southern parts. now we know that there is fighting between the r f and the army in front of the gates of b general command of the army. and that's one major army facility that the iris of has been trying to take control of since saturday. because again, that's the headquarters of the army and taking over that would effectively mean taking over the army or by the r s f. now we also know that there's been fighting it undermine. there's been airstrikes launched by a sedan. so for us to dance armies, fighter jets, and there's been anti aircraft missiles fired by the ourself in various residential neighborhoods. we've spoken to people. and they said that big in his street fighting began here at what seems to be an exchange of fire between b r s f a. and this would in his army. so lots of tensions on the streets of her to
11:04 am
him as the battles between the r s f and the army continues. is it not clear yet? who has the upper hand, both sides claim that they have control of major facilities here in the capitol? yeah, i was going to ask you whether there was a sense of who controls what you know, places like the airport, the national broadcaster, is there a sense of who has the upper hand, if you will, while both sides claim that they have control of these facilities but there is ongoing fighting around the vicinity of the airport. now the general command is right at the back of the airport. so the, the fight and the battles right now around those areas is both for the airport control and the control of the general command. these areas are still being fought over. there's the presidential palace, the r s f says it's in control of that. the army disputes that and we have seen tanks rolling headed towards the direction of the presidential powers in the early
11:05 am
hours of this morning. so it's not clear if the army is going to reinforce their troops, they're of the or if they're trying to take control of that facility. when it comes to the states, they are a safer seems to have lost some of their bases in the eastern part of the country. places like ports for them, cassandra and g. a body of these are in the east, but they have taken control of the airports and of the markets in yellow that's in south dar for while the fighting for control in various other parts of the country continue. how are people's lives being affected by, by this fighting? he but there was, as we know, a brief monetary and pause on sunday where people able to get out to get food. for example, while both at the recess and the army agreed to a 3 hour pause in fighting after a proposal suggested by the united nations. but within an hour of batt 3 hour window, there was fighting between b r s f and the army around the vicinity of the general command and be presidential palace. now the whole point of this 3 hour pause in fighting was to allow people
11:06 am
who were traps in places like hospitals and schools and public institutions around the vicinity of the presidential palace and the general command to be able to get out and go back home. and for those needing medical attention to be able to access hospitals, but because it was so brief, many people who spoke to said they were not able to get out, that they still remain trapped within areas where they're fighting between the 25. and there's a lot going on on the diplomatic front table to try and end this fighting. talk to us about what's expected over the next few hours the next few days. and whether there's a viable mediation effort. well, the intake of a mental authority for development held an emergency meeting on sunday and agreed to send the heads of south sedan kenya andrew booths. he to try to mediate between b, r s f and the army. the head of the e. get at the moment is a sudan itself, so it's not clear a how much power those 3 country need is,
11:07 am
would be able to have over the 2 fighting sides. but then both sides had just before the fighting thought it agreed to deescalate, when mediators on the ground spoke to them. and then after the fighting started both label the other as the enemy, the r s. f has described the head of the arm as a criminal and said that he will not self fighting until he takes control of all the army bases around the country. and then the army, branded the r s f as a rebel group, and are now targeting them as such. so it doesn't look like any mediation would actually have an impact on both sides. both sides seemed to be determined to, if not, this completely destroy the other than at least have an upper hand over the other. thank you for that update. hipaa morgan is i correspondent in khartoum, while the u. s. secretary of state antony blank and says the us and its allies. shay a deep concern about the fighting incident. he was speaking on the sidelines of the g 7 meeting, a foreign ministers in japan. as raleigh, are you again across all of our partners on the need for an immediate she's for in
11:08 am
a return to toss talks that were very promising in felicia down on the past to a full transition to civilian life. government, people in sudan, one military back in the burse. they want democracy. they want us, italy like government sudan. these return to the f al jazeera, as rob mcbride has more on what was discussed in japan. a lot of expressions of concern by participants in this sir g 7 foreign ministers meeting center they, they started arriving here in japan's a saturday through sunday. or the later statement has come from antony lincoln. the u. s. secretary of state and it came at a photo opportunity just ahead of a bilateral meeting with his british sher counterpart james cleverly. he expressed his concern about what's going on. herb lincoln said that the people of sedan won't democracy and they want a resumption of the talks that were moving toward civilian rule. and he says,
11:09 am
the way to allow that to continue, he says, is for the military to get back to their barracks on. let's take a closer look at how sedan got to the situation to this point. the most recent bout of instability are began in 2019. that's when the military ousted long time leader omar bashir. after months of mass protests, then the army moved against the protesters, but under international pressure it was forced to sign a power sharing agreement with civilian groups. elections were set for 2023. in october of 2021. yet another military takeover. unseeded by minister abdullah ham dog 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 fe elections and a return 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 early i spoke to dahlia, muhammad abdomen m, who's

11:11 am
because. a they, you know, this, this uptake and using fighter just has really raised the stakes. i don't know how they will come down from that, how they will even agree to meet. even if the mediators are able to get into that. will they be able to do anything because both hon and have said really strongly worded statements and they don't seem to be want to want to back down there is there is no desire from either side to take a step back and maybe say ok, let's talk on the discuss, negotiate in other world news. china says it's willing to have close the military cooperation with russia. the statement came from beijing's defense minister leash young fool, who met russian president vladimir putin. on sunday. it follows a state visit by chinese, private and cheating. being last month, the leaders discuss beijing's piece plan for ukraine's. according to yvonne has sentence 10 members of its air defense forces to prison for the downing of
