on it is just after 10 gmc 12 pm in cartoon where the fighting that began on saturday, has intensified, the military has threatened to launch more air strikes against the powerful r s f, the rapids support forces. the fight for control is now threatening to derail sedans, transition to civilian rule. let's look at the scene right now in cartoon, where there's been more heavy gunfire into monday. there had been a brief low and violence on sunday during a 3 hour humanitarian pause. at least 97 people, however, have been killed and hundreds injured since then. and medical staff at this hospital and cartoon told al 0 showing on the emergency department injured 5 people and destroyed 2 cars workers and patients and now being moved to a neighboring hospital. this is so this is the situation in sudan as we speak with
1:03 pm
fighting. now, having spread across the country, the worst of it though, has been centered in the capital cartoon and neighboring city of on dorman, both sides trying to seize the state broadcaster the presidential palace, the airport, as well as multiple military bases. so let's go live to hipaa. morgan encore, to me here, but what's the situation in the capital as we speak? while over the past, our fighting has incense intensified and the air strikes has gotten to a point where we ourselves had to seek shelter from the air strikes and from the anti aircraft. missiles that's being fired by the reputable forces against for denise army fight suggests. now, the sudanese army says that the situation is under control, that they're targeting the rest of the forces around the vicinity of the presidential palace and around the vicinity of the general command of the army. as well as some parts of the central parts of the city. fighting its intend to find,
1:04 pm
i don't know if you can hear the sound of we can the that's the sound of the 2 sides exchanging fire around the vicinity of the presidential palace on mile streets as well. so both sides are determined to gain the upper hand. at this moment, the sudanese army put out the statement that is now in control once again of the state television and on demand and said that they will be using the state broadcasting broadcast. so to relate the message to the civilians who are right now, very confused as to what's happening outside and in desperate need of security. that is of environment and air strikes out by the forces. and it looks like we have picked up some locations. i'll be right around the vicinity of the general command headquarters, bullets the presidential palace, which they said they are targeting. so the situation is intense. the air sparks are continuing and so our aircraft natal continued to be fired on the ground and the
1:05 pm
shelling and heavy artillery continues in the central part of harpoon as well as the northern and southern parts. yeah, we definitely heard that loud and clear and we thank you for joining us in these difficult circumstances for you and your team. we appreciate the reporting. you mentioned that there are claims and counterclaims about who controls what are you able to get any clarity on who might be gaining the upper hand. what if you look at what's happening on the ground when you know that their anti aircraft missiles be fired from said some locations. you know, that's where the rapid support forces are. and when you see where the fighter jets are flying in that the fight it had belonged to the sudanese army and at their targeting those locations. so the fighter jets are flying over various parts of the capitol, hot him over under man, over the northern parts of the capitol as well as the southern parts you can see smoke rising. but all of that just gives you an idea, an indication of where the fighting is going on at both sides claim to be in control of major facilities. the iris have says, a 2 at has rated be
1:06 pm
a residence of the army, commander general of the fact the headboard, hon. something the army denies. they say that they're in control of the army headquarters where fighting is right now, reaching around its vicinity and around the vicinity of the airport. the state television is under the control of the army. but when you look at the seats, the other states outside the capital horton because the fighting is beyond just the capital are when you look at places like eastern sedan in port sedan, casala and a lot of the, our us of bases have been taken over by the army and when you look at places like dar 4 in south, dar for the rapid support force have taken control of the airport and other major facilities. so it looks like it's both sides have control of certain locations, but it's very hard to tell who has the upper hand over all in this battle between the 2 sides and heber, as you speak, we're also watching live pictures of the cartoon skyline, specifically in the direction in the vicinity of the airport with a massive plume of smoke rising over that area. and yet as we look at this,
1:07 pm
the wheels of diplomacy are also just starting to turn. what can you tell us about that? oh, while the in the governmental authority for development held an emergency meeting on sunday because of what's happening in for them and decided to send delegation that's behead of salt for them. can you and you go to the president of those countries to put down, to mediate between the head of the r f f and the army commander. now of course them arriving here is going to be very hard. first of all, because it's fighting around difficulty of airport so their safety can be guaranteed, and those are presidents of faith. so it's going to be very hard for them to land without proper and advocate security. but then when you look at the message is coming from both 5 as well. the commander of the are set up with a statement a short while ago describing the army as a radical group and saying that he will not stop until he defeats them. and then you have a statement from the army saying that they will continue with the strike until they
1:08 pm
get rid of the last element of the rapid support. 4th is when you look at those 2 statements, it's not clear. if any diplomacy and mediation efforts will have an impact in ending this 5 between the 2 size head of morgan reporting live from car to him and we are distinctly hearing what sounds like heavy shelling, not far from where you are again, these live pictures in the city of hark, whom airport, with that huge plume of black smoke coming from that part of cartoon. now a video blocker blogger, who is traveling incident has shared his experience of what's happening in cartoon when they opened the window, i could see the black smoke. i don't know a lot of people they are going by walking. they are going with their bag. many of the people they are loading the stuff from supermarket. they are going in their car . many of them they're taking in and out of a goes to escape, duffy b. and the general who had the rapid support forces mohammed hum done, douglas has urged the international community to take action. he posted on twitter
1:09 pm
a short while ago accusing rival general abdel fat oliver hon. of committing crimes by bombing civilians from the air original and western powers have called for an immediate cease fire and a resumption of talks on civilian rule. us secretary of state anthony blinking has been speaking with saudi arabia and with the united arab emirates, they support opposing sides in the conflict. the un security council is due to discuss the latest developments also on monday and regional african block, known as i gad plans to hand to send heads of states, including those of kenya and booty, to mediate as soon as possible. the african union, german wants to head to sedans, capital cartoon, also to discuss an immediate cease fire and neighboring countries concerned about the fight spilling over their borders, including south sedan and egypt have also offered to mediate at the regional block . i gather, held a meeting on sudan and as decided to send the president of south sudan of kenya and
1:10 pm
to boot the, as we're saying, to help with mediation efforts before me decided on a number a number of decisions. and one of the most important decision is for the so the nice parties to halter fighting, to going to conditional sufficient or false till it is to protect civilians and their, their decision was made. it was for this 3 presidents a to engage with with general han and gender mit. and as you know, the 3 presidents are highly expedient. ok, some important background to all this is take a closer look at how we got here. the most recent balance of instability and sedan began in 2019. that is when the military ousted a long time leader omar bashir, after months of mass protests, then the army moved against the protesters. however,
1:11 pm
under international pressure, it was forced to assign a power sharing agreement with civilian groups. elections were then set for 2023, but in october 2021. yet another military take over and seated. prime minister of della hum, dock 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 from fair elections and a return to civilian rule. 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 of dalia mohammed manime is a student, these activists in cartoon. she says people are starting to have problems accessing food, and they fear the situation could get worse. that 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 run on. so
1:12 pm
we couldn't do anything, but i do know people and other, other areas of cartoon were able to go out and get some supplies. but there's also 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 their products have gone bad. so even if we were, even if you 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, is no more, there's no movement between the, the urban and rural areas. so the fresh produce. i think it will get worse simply 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 su, than will they be able to do anything because both were hon. and they have said
1:13 pm
really strongly worded statements. and they don't seem to be one to one to back down there is. there is no desire from either side to take a step back and maybe say ok, let's talk or negotiate ah, g 7 foreign minister is meeting in the japanese city of car resolve. our have said that they will prevent russia from accessing weapons from 3rd parties. they've also address tension in the endo pacific and the fighting in sudan. rob mcbride reports posing for the traditional family photo. the top diplomats of the g 7 still firmly committed to supporting ukraine in its war with russia. they agreed to keep sanctions in place and to stop moscow from trying to get weapons from the countries after accusations north korea is already supplying them. and fears that china might start away with family, reject any need to attempt to change the status,
1:14 pm

1:16 pm
a russian opposition activist and prominent kremlin critic has been sentenced to 25 years in prison by a court in moscow. vladimir kara, morsa was convicted of treason and denigrating. the military. he was arrested a year ago after he denounced russian president vladimir putin invasion of ukraine . kara mores are called putin's government a dictatorship, and he says he has survived to poisonings, which he blamed on the kremlin. while alexander sylvia is a russian opposition politician himself, he joins us from la muscle and cypress. your reaction to this sentencing 25 years in prison. well 1st of. busy all of course that is absolutely stolen like term. so i'm, and recently i left already used to sentence opposition figures for like 5 to 7 years, which is already a lot. i mean,
1:17 pm
despite the stereotype that 5 years is like something something, ok, it is not. but now this new kind of oppressions are starting, i'm afraid the usage of the state treason article is going to to, to, to, to get higher and higher. and of course, a got this sentence just because he's been fighting corruption since i don't know since the very beginning of perkins era. and he mostly because he's one of the office and one of the main figures to, to push and to will be the, the act, the 1st act of personal sanctions imposed on russian authorities in bold, directly involved in killing a lawyer who investigated an enormous frauds
1:18 pm
and corruption within the russian system and who was later killed in prison for that. okay, mr. so are you, if you're saying you're explaining to this, is that even by russian standards, a 25 year prison sentence is a very heavy sentence. why do you think that is what, what lessons should we be learning from that? well, 1st of all, does just an attempt of sending a signal to, to the rest of the opposition figures to lead fresh immediately? they didn't do that by now, that if somebody stays, they will face the same same consequences. is it still possible to criticize the president or the war and ukraine in russia? well, it's just the, the reason for initiating this criminal case was the fact that he was criticizing the war. he was strictly opposing the war in ukraine. but then when the
1:19 pm
criminal case has already been initiated, they just added and added and added more more episode. so they, they basically, they don't care, or whom do you criticize president or, or corruption just if they start suppressing you, they will probably not stuck. they will, they won't stop, continue in continuing or there are still voices of dissent within russia. yeah, there are still a few, but they have to be extremely cautious. most of them are all ready either under house arrest or the pre trial restriction already in prison. so most of most of us has already either left or in prison back in russia. so those few who are still left today,
1:20 pm
well basically they could be put into jail for, for saying literally anything. so for instance, you're in opposition, politician. you, you're in cyprus, as we said in the introduction, do you feel it would be possible for you to go back to russia? well, i hope so, but i'm not sure that that would be immediately. that would immediately be possible. what i don't know, what i put in dice ah, being realistic, i should have made that even a one by putting dice on the system will probably have the, the period over a year or 2. this term term turbulence is the most dangerous period. so i'm absolutely sure that all of us would sooner or later be possible to come back, but i don't thing it's going to be going to be easy. alexander sylvia. thank
1:21 pm
you for joining us on the program today. thank you. as la mancha has joined poland and hungary and suspending grain and other food imports from ukraine. they say the cheap ukrainian grain is driving down local prices. european union officials have now announced that they will be meeting this week. the discuss ukraine grain export issues in within the block. the polish ban followed protests by farmers there and the resignation of the agriculture minister of charles stratford is live in keith charles. this all seems like an unintended consequence of this grain export deal. explain to us how we got here. yeah, it's a, it's a complex process and certainly an indication of mounting pressure on ukraine by it's european partners that up until now have done so they say everything that they can to try and help ukraine in its wool with russia. this deal unfolded as
1:22 pm
a result of some black sea ports being blocked off the rushes invasion, which of course stops the export. all millions of tons of ukraine's grain and food products to its markets around the world. the poles. now the slovaks also the hungarians and the romanians, now also romanians information that they may do the same. because apparently, so much of this ukrainian grain is got stuck in bottlenecks, logistical problems as it's been exported via the land roots out of ukraine. it is seriously depreciated the prices of local grain and food products in their neighboring allies in ukraine's neighboring allies. and as you say, we've seen protests in poland, the resignation of the polish agricultural minister. and we understand that there
1:23 pm
are ongoing talks between and ukrainian officials, ukraine, an agricultural minister and officials in warsaw as they try and negotiate a reopening of this transit route. now this is a temporary ban. we understand certainly according to the polls, they're saying this is a temporary ban until june, the 30th. but yeah, it is an indication of the kind of pressure that sir domestic populations in ukraine's western allies of those countries are, are facing the governments in these countries are facing as they try and accommodate and help ukraine as much as possible. because of course, this grain is vital revenue for the ukrainians as they year as they try and fight the russians after. ready the invasion, so we're talks ongoing, we understand that they are going to be more tools in slovakia and romania in the days ahead. so there's mounting discontent and aimed at this grain export deal
1:24 pm
coming from you western countries. but of course, this is already coming on top of existing discontent against the debate from russia . yeah, there is increasing pressure from russia with respect to the yeah. the export of ukraine in foodstuffs, grain and, and the export of russian expos via the the black sea. this was a deal, or a couple of deals that are, that was signed in july that were broken by the u. n. and turkey. the russians are saying that they will pull out potentially from their side of the agreement if demands they are made that they are making are not met. this deal is supposed to be renewed every a $120.00 days. it's due for renewal on may, the 18th, the russians say that they may pull out if a whole host of demands are not made. these include, for example, russian ships getting full access to ports around the world. there are
1:25 pm
a huge problem. so the russian se, with maritime insurance, and they also wants restrictions to be lifted on agricultural machinery that russia says it so desperately needs. and so, yeah, we not only are seeing increasing pressure by the russians with respect to the ukrainian export deal via the black sea, but now the land roots var ukraine's european harness on charles stratford, reporting from key. thank you. man morris hunter has granted amnesty to more than $3000.00 prisoners to mark the buddhist new year. it is unclear whether journalists and protesters jailed in its quality crackdown on descent will be among those freed . the military government has arrested thousands since it's who more than 2 years ago. for the $98.00 foreigners serving sentences in the end mar will also be released. a french court is set to rule on a landmark case and the crash of an air france jets in 2009,
