12:07 pm
i'm sorry. can you repeat the question? but what he says very like for a new is not i understand that you haven't left your house since this began 4 days ago. what's it been like for you? it's very difficult because our areas complete younger the siege, the rapid security forces, and it's a bit intense here because we can't really literally a row one of the houses away from the main street. but when there resided alongside the station alongside, i'm sorry. so it's a bit difficult to really move because you don't really know what, what you're going to find. it's stressful. you can hear the clashing all around. it's quiet right now. that's a bit difficult. honestly. how are you able to secure the most basic necessities
12:08 pm
like food and water? at the moment we're just wanting some supplies that we have at home available. no one was able to store anything. no, no, no. anything that was going to happen before. so were just at the moment just using what we have around the houses and we had electricity. so when we heard about the electricity outage everywhere else, we managed to fill a lot of water around the house to keep it on stand by. so is there a risk that you'll run out of electricity soon? no, we have the secondary from the 2nd day we run out of electricity has been off of electricity for 3 days. now. i have 4. have i didn't really work. yeah, because i had it for 4 days. now. what about your friends and family? what are they telling you ever and panics, ever and stress. no, not really what's going on because you have different news that's coming in every 2nd setting. you know, the army can go go,
12:09 pm
but no people are taking over and you don't know what's really going on. but reality is ever stressed. everyone's worried. everyone doesn't know it's going to be coming through any minute or missile. no one knows what's going on. everyone's scared. people have water. people just kinda wanting to know where it, if someone gets injured or anything happens, how, where will they take them for any medical aid or any nothing. you know, we hope this honestly, everyone seating did you expect us to happen at all? it's been ever since 2019 and they both took over people would say there is a possibility of a war being between the 2 had been a couple of years where it was actually very solid. they had a very close relationship. so no, actually like, actually just coming people went speak about that, but no one actually really ever believed that it would actually come to this point
12:10 pm
. right. and i know you said that no one expected this and people were, were unprepared and you don't know what will happen next. but do you have any idea how the situation will develop? not really because like i said, the news is saying one thing, but reality is that it's been for days where people have been taking over certain areas and they haven't been you know, no one's been able to really remove them from the areas. so really putting up a strong fight, i think, and people would really were predicting the military to be able to remove or hon regina really that would be able to route neutron situation. but i haven't for 4 days, and i've just been sending on untruthful statement around saying that they'll take over and 3 animal or by 5 am. this will be done, or in a couple of hours,
12:11 pm
or we're close to actually winning this and nothing's really clear of what's going on. but on ground, the committee and his people are really stationed and nothing greedy changing for 4 days. now, when you say that they are, the rapid support forces are stationed and they're taking over areas. what sort of areas are you talking about here? and are you just referring to areas in the capital hard to me or, or outside of cartoon? you know, the thing is with city wars, it's one day the this group has this area and the next day the group managers to take over the other group managers to take over this area. so within like i'm specifically about 2 outside of the door. you'd hear, we don't hear on the news, so i don't really know understand of who's taking over which areas because that the same, for example, matter, we was taken over by the rapid forces, but then the minute the military has taken over the taken over it. now and then a couple hours later, still no of the rapid forces. so we don't know really what's going on outside of
12:12 pm
within my committee, who people have been taken have taken over for 4 days for 3 days now. and i haven't had them how much we've lost our connection with had in how much she was speaking to us from cartoon giving us an update on the situation there. and telling us her point of view from, from a civilian point of view, and she's been stuck in her day in her home for the past 4 days. do we have a deal with us? i didn't know how much can you hear me? i'm back in. ok, great, we lost you for a 2nd. i'll just keep you for one more question because i'd like to get your take on, on how people in cartoon. i mean, are they, are they divided on, on who they support or are they just set up at this point to me, they just need an end to this a day for is people have reached the point where they're fed up and they just need an end it
12:13 pm
started off with people wanting, but hans ready to take over because his regime represents a military situation that the country needs. and then some people were saying that his regime is backed up by a what was the former regime in commands and the islamic group that was taking over. so people are divided between who they really want to take over at this point . we really don't understand it, it does know about the situation for the country and, and a lot of people don't understand that it doesn't matter who wins. because at the end of the day, each one is coming with their own reading negative scenarios. and it's not really an ideal situation about a country. i doubt will ever have a diplomatic democratic countries. sorry. and i doubt we'll have a civilian government one day. it's always going to be the military unfortunately. so the question is now, is the minutes you're going to be comprised of m a d and his forces, or is it going to be comprised of what han and his regime and,
12:14 pm
and the pyre regina that was taking control. so really no one knows who's going to take over. no one knows what is the best scenario for said on at this point. we're just like i how worried are you? are an extremely worried i was i'm sorry, a lot of people don't understand that there's no future life, both groups that are fighting the commands that are financing because no future. okay has, and we'll let you go for now. we thank you so much for sharing that with us on al jazeera. thank you so much for having me. ok. and other news g 7 foreign ministers have concluded there are 3 day meeting in japan by promising to stand against war crimes, including russia's invasion of ukraine. their final communicate is
12:15 pm
a document used as a template for next month, g 7 lead or summit. it highlights a commitment to enforce tougher sanctions on moscow and prevent china from any similar action against taiwan. well, the kremlin has released the video showing the president vladimir putin, has visited 2 army posts in russian controlled areas of ukraine. the footage was broadcast on state television showing, put in speaking to military leaders about the combat situation in southern harrison . moscow says he was then flown by helicopter to eastern guns to hear reports from commanders baron, versus your bar is joining us from moscow. so the trip is the 2nd recent visit by puts into russian occupied areas and ukraine doors. so, but it's the 1st one to the troops. how significant does that while they're in it's say, very significant, this is the 1st time the command during chief of the russian army has visited the forces that he deployed to ukraine nearly 14 months ago. the latter reported is
12:16 pm
clearly trying to achieve 2 things here. one to show that he is very confident about the situation on the ground in those regions, in person and the bonds in the bus, as well as to boost morale among the troops that he deployed to ukraine. the 70 year old presidents came down from a helicopter, where he was met by high ranking commanders in her own region. and this is an area where russian troops back in november, we treated to a certain point because of it offensive that was launched by the training courses. he spoke to commanders, they're saying he was there to listen to their ideas and monitor exchange information. he then moved on to the guns headquarters of the national guard. that is where he presented officials with a trip take a gold trip to that. he said once belong to one of the greatest russian defense ministers in the country. history. certainly
12:17 pm
a movie trying to call back on times when this countries empire was at what the, what he believes to be of his greatest pete. he was trying to clearly show that he is in command of his troops in what we know to be a very difficult time to be coming up. according to reports, the ukrainian forces are set to launch a spring offensive against the russian forces on the ground in those regions. some flattery important trip is certainly coming at a very critical time and we know that the trip didn't happen today. it happened in the past few days, so the leasing of the footage is also important for the kremlin to make sure that it was done at a time when they believe will be most effective. thank you door. so doors are reporting for us from moscow. china's economy has rebounded more than expected in the 1st quarter of this year. government data shows that gross domestic product was 4 and a half percent between january to march. that's
12:18 pm
a half percent more than was forecast. china's economic recovery has been under scrutiny after the government abandoned the 0 coven strategy. andrew colea is a managing director of orient capital research, which conducts independence research on china. he says that many structural problems remain that could stifle china's economic growth. is quite healthy, but most of that increase was due to people leaving their homes post covered and going out dining in various places, their actual sales of hard goods, like autos and things like washing machines has been pretty weak. the other part of 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 now in positive territory after being in negative territory for
12:19 pm
a long time. but i'm still worried that under the cover there's a lot of structural problems in china. i don't trust their gdp number anyway because most of that is pretty heavily manipulated in beijing. so i look at what's going on and 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, an unemployment among youth is up to $99.00 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 going to sustain for the rest of the year. 2 people have been killed in war missing after a landslide in northern pakistan highway west, the pers shower near the town of tour come was hit before dawn on tuesday. there is
12:20 pm
