10:04 am
showing their presence inside harder to him. international airport. it's not clear when this was taken and who has control of the airport at the moment. that's one of the points of struggle between the 2 sides, civilians and parts of her to him report seeing tanks on the streets and that they can still hear the heavy artillery being fired. and that they can see the combat ongoing. between the rapid support for says and this is denise army, so it's clear that on the 4th day of the fighting, this battle is continuing to take place and many parts of the capital, her tomb. and in the northern part of meadow e. when you look at the other states, it looks to be relatively quiet. so it looks like most of the fighting is focused in these 2 areas, another city of meadow, e and in the capital harton. and how about the latest figures we have? are that a 180 people have been carol kill that's according to the un thousands injured as well. our hospitals coping well, hospitals have reported that there are some, some of them that have been heads and so they can't operate and give medical
10:05 am
assistance to those who are in need. but they're all the doctors who spoke to who said that the numbers are reported of deaths and injuries is going to be far less than the reality on the ground. because many people can't act of hospitals. and many people can seek medical attention. and families have been reporting their loved ones and relative missing. so there's a question of where are those people as well, they're quite concerned. they say that they are worried that their relative loved ones may have been killed in the fighting between the rapids support forces and the army. but their bodies cannot be retrieved because of the situation on the ground medic, they can't count the day. they can't go out, they can't risk their lives because of the situation. then there are those who are trapped for 4 days now with no food and want to many people did not expect the fighting. so they did not store and food and water for these days. and how is not a city prepared for war? despite the numerous conflicts infidel, there was never any direct fighting between, between the group here in the capital. so there are no safety shelters. people say
10:06 am
they don't know where to go for safety, and this has been the situation now for the past 4 days. ok, but we'll let you go for now. thank you for bringing us that from cartoon. we'll stick with our tool for a moment and speak to, i mean, kind of follow up with a researcher and policy analyst joining us from the capital as well. thanks for speaking to us. what's it like from, from a civilian point of view in cartoon right now. thank you. the situation this morning continues to be that they were just listed as we're speaking now. i did the whole bidding, i then today it will be hard to know specifically and, and bomb being actually descriptive, what it's targeting for sure. but they are supposed to come in and how to fill it out. we could go bad targeting, add the content so that 5 being continued as intensified as, as it has been on the other hand. yeah. so how are people,
10:07 am
how are people coping with all of us? yeah, i was just about to say i had a baby that people are finding it difficult to to manage. but i think the most alarming thing is that people are starting to burn out because that has been cooked in many areas. i don't to day one. so the 4th day to be add because the water station where the damage due to the piping. so in many cases, people are just starting to run on the north of to buy ad shops. because so that, that open ad very limited. and they have also, although they have many, it will be stable, who's also going to have power. and it's very difficult for anyone to ask me because i can get, you know, minutes in supply and, and so,
10:08 am
and i'm in so many cases people have died. i've read it because of this would be for the family to have, you know, had to meet with you in the house. is there no way to fax it or is it clear to you right now? who has the upper hand in the capital and who controls the airport for example. and, and how do you see the situation developing? it's very critical. who has that? but has we keep receiving information from active information from active i guess, but i'm this fight to support. and so i need to know 21 back down. it's very much online. they have been using, i looked at formation and this information back to may 1 to 10,
10:09 am
but in the airport they have the evidence that the support work is i was told from different i would misses and video and so on. but then you also see some good use from the new source. i said just think otherwise. so it's very difficult to who actually has apprehend, right as to whether not you days. what do you think? just over the next few days, how do you see this, this developing next 2 days, next few weeks, what he thinks will happen. so it isn't that i didn't find that any of the courses are willing to talk, i think anytime soon, but then i don't have to give it a little bit. where should i be more open if so, as far as so to extend that for me to saying that to the
10:10 am
community who will have to best i'm see because i think it's a national community pushy to send delegates to me. i like the got to be had the state, so he got member state console, and that would be very important. and that would be very useful because, like i said, that saying that they're open, but we have them until we see that they actually commit to the fire. ok, we'll have to leave it there. we thank you so much for joining us from cartoon antennae blinkin says that a us diplomatic home boy came under fire on monday in sudan and describe the incident is reckless and irresponsible. the u. s. secretary state is urging both sides to reach an immediate cease fire. he was speaking on the sidelines of the g 7 foreign ministers meeting in japan. this morning i made calls to general's brohannon that he urging them to agree to a 24 hour ceasefire,

to that parliament. and he has more power of the constitution than this president will only had to portfolios defense and foreign affairs before he did the clue to take over. not only all of the executive portfolios but the entire lar, entire legislative function and all of the judiciary. so we grabbed it all for itself and again, taking away those powers from the parliament, which itself was a product of years, a deliberate calibration between the 2 region part parties. this new constitution was written basically by one man to make himself all powerful. the kremlin has broadcast a video showing president vladimir putin in visiting to army command post and russian controlled parts of ukraine. the footage broadcast on state television shows prudent speaking to military leaders about the combat situation in southern her son. moscow says he was then flown by helicopter to eastern guns to hear reports from commanders there. meanwhile, foreign ministers from the g 7 group of nations have concluded their 3 day meeting

10:20 am
the story that is worrisome is that a lot of this is being driven by a debt raised by local governments. their expenditure was up 6.8 percent. but their actual revenue was up only owe point 5 percent. so they're borrowing money from the banks. the property market has been ok. that's been the one slightly bright markets . it's now in positive territory after being in negative territory for a long time. but i'm still worried it under the cover, there's a lot of structural problems and china, i don't trust their g d p number anyway because most of that is pretty heavily manipulated in beijing. so i look at what's going on at the one good figure was apparent oil, the demand was up 9.5 percent, which does suggest that there's some economic activity out there. but i'm beginning to think that a lot of that i could to activity was driven by additional debt fuel by local government investment in infrastructure and other areas. because i'm not seeing a lot of private activity that's growing. unemployment among youth is up to $99.00
10:21 am
over 19 percent. it's actually rising. so the underlying economy is still fairly weak. exports has been decent that that could help them, but the global economy is looking weeks. i'm not sure that's as good as sustained for the rest of the year. the french president's man around my craws defended controversial pension reforms in his 1st address to the nations and signing them into law on saturday. so there were demonstrations in several cities during his speech. i. cro says he understands people's anger, but insist that raising the retirement age by 2 years to 64 is necessary to keep the system afloat. natasha butler has more from paris. hundreds of pre a be no on the street ever since present in my own michael gave is the speech a little bit earlier that police are out in force. they trying to move them. they're trying to make them be so they can re open the roads, but this is just some of the anger the we have been seen on the streets over the
10:22 am
past 3 weeks and months since the beginning of a pension reform. they say that even though it is being signed in to know that they will continue to pay, i gave a speech in which you need to write to, why you decided to pursue this placement. i tend to refer, you said it was necessary to people who are longer than 62 people could live in young. he says that he was friends, people to move on, but he doesn't really look. is it going to do that to me? no, some of them had a recent opinion believe that some recall disappoint people support with such a problem. i, a defamation lawsuit against fox news will begin on tuesday in the us state of delaware. but closely watched case was brought forward by dominion voting systems which are seeking $1600000000.00 in damages. it's accusing fox of airing false
10:23 am
claims that it's voting machines were used to rig the outcome of the 2020 election in favor of joe biden. my connor reports as lawyers gather, there's a lot at stake, not just the $1600000000.00 damages claimed by dominion, but also the nature of the protection supported by the 1st amendment, which provides will freedom of the press. in focus on the decades old supreme court rulings which provided sweeping protection for media companies. even when they disseminate false information. it's not enough for dominion to prove fox was wrong and it's allegations. it also needs to prove that the media company knew the claims are wrong, but continued to broadcast them regardless. they would have to show, 1st of all, in terms of liability that fox acted with actual malice or reckless disregard for the truth. and then secondly,
10:24 am
if the jury satisfied as to that, that there's been proof of the actual damages that were incurred by the point. so both those 2 things would have to be found by the dirt. already thousands of internal communications within fox had been made public and legal documents. these appear to show that the company's hosts like laura ingraham, what privately skeptical of the vote rigging allegations as what other network heavy weights like sean hannity and tucker carlson, who in private emails describe donald trump's claims of vote rigging, as disgusting dominion alleges that despite these private opinions, fox continued to publicly and actively support trumps baseless claims of both rigging and dominions alleged role in that. the reason says, dominion the media network did not want to alienate the significant number of trump
10:25 am
supporters who us villas, delaware superior court judge eric davis, has already ruled that fox on air personalities and executives, will have to testify, including the company's c. o rupert murdoch and his son and fox, co chairman laflin, who dominion alleges, knew the claims the false, but did nothing to stop them being broadcast. the trial is expected to last 6 weeks, but the potential consequences to the application of the 1st amendment could last very much longer by cana out 0, washington work is now underway to repair the damage to the centuries, all the ox on mosque and occupied east jerusalem there were violent confrontations in the compound when is really forces b worshippers earlier this month without me having has more. oh, during these last days of ramadan, an extra compound becomes
