the law with neither side, willing to negotiate is the ukraine war becoming a forever war? is america's global leadership, increasingly fragile? what will u. s. politics look like as we had to the presidential election of 2024. the quizzical look us politics, the bottom line. ah, at 24 hours ceasefire is supposed to be taking effect right now in sedan. you're watching live pictures of cartoon. we will be in the sudanese capital in a moment to get the situation on the ground. i personally prefer that we tired from hunger than we die from bullets and from bumps and people in cartoon shelter in basement says the fight for control has been raging on above them.

ah, and 0 then. yes, this is al jazeera alive from doha. it's great to have you with us also coming up in a program today bail denied you have journalist, evan gosh, kevin loses an appeal against his pre trial detention hearing. and moscow and fox news is about to face off in court with a voting machine company accusing it of knowingly misleading its viewers. over the 2020 u. s. presidential election. ah, folk just passed 1600 gmc, that means a cease fire has just technically come into force in sudan or 4 days of violence has killed more than a 185 people. these are the live pictures of the capital court to him right now. the army and the country's largest paramilitary force, the rapids support forces say that they've agreed to

a 24 or pause in the fighting. but to earlier attempts at maintaining a ceasefire between the rival forces have already failed. rahile mohammed begins are coverage with smoke covers the skyline north of sedans, capital off the s drive by the army against positions of the rapid support forces. fighting continues at cartoon airport, leaving a trail of destruction. satellite pictures show widespread damage off the days of heavy fighting flights have been suspended, preventing international mediators from arriving 330 kilometers north of cartoon morrow we are based as still being contested by rival military forces. with fighter jets destroyed, the battle has intensified between sedans, army, and the biggest and most powerful paramilitary army chief of dull fighter, albert han, and his deputy ha mm hm. don douglas, who leads the rapid support forces, had been in charge of the country since 2019. but they disagree on hell to restore

civilian rule. it's unclear who now has the upper hand with fighting around the general command military headquarters. rapid support forces released footage purporting to show its troops gaining ground with its soldiers at the security services building, rob, rob, but after the army took back control of state tv on monday, it's called on the are set to turn themselves in. a thought that it is not in the interest of our homeland, to have its own countrymen currying arms against one another. therefore, we call them not to be part of this conspiracy. to lay down arms and turn themselves in. and then let's see if they will consider joining the ranks of sedans, armed forces, cartoon, and other cities are now battlefields with tanks, rolling through the streets and dead bodies strewn across pavements, medical staff, a warning they can't reach the injured because hospitals are under attack. there's not enough medicine, food or water with power cuts. generators are operating at critical levels,

but some are venturing out to find supplies lube gone to do, but we have bought 6 packs of noodles to factor and feed 3 people for one b. there is also salt and kick. the cake will expire tomorrow so he can have it for dinner. delinquency. good news is a global push to find diplomatic. resolve. the u. s. is urging the boring sides to end hostilities. i made calls to a general. so brohannon a mary urging them to agree to a 24 hour cease fire to allow a sudanese to safely reunite with their families and to obtain desperately needed relief supplies for now is unclear if the 2 generals are willing to heed these requests as their capital city continues its descent into a war zone, were healing mohammed al jazeera hebert morgan is live in khartoum hebert. can you tell if the fighting has died down while the fighting has not died that the die down yet despite being the 1st minutes

of this, his fire that was announced by both sides following international pressure, we can still hear the sound of the antenna of jets flying overhead, despite as being in the basement of the building, because of the intense air strike that have been launched over the past few hours. including in the past few minutes, we were able to hear anti aircraft missiles being fired by the rocket support forces. add those anton of jets and other fighter jets that the sudanese army are flying overhead. and we know that their heavy artillery being exchanged between the 2 sides. it's not clear who is gaining ground. this is all happening around the vicinity of the presidential palace and around the vicinity of the general command of the army. 2 locations which have been the scene of fierce fighting between the 2 sides. and they are fighting reported. there is fighting report in other parts of the capital as well. i'm not sure if you can hear that, but that's the sound of another shelling. and so this are the ceasefire that is supposed have thought a just a few minutes ago is obviously it hasn't started yet and it looks like the 2 sites

are still determined to fight each other off. now the army on monday said that they wanted to finish the operation in 48 hours. this is of course, before the cease fire was announced. and with the continuation of this airstrikes with the continuation of this heavy shelling around the vicinity of the presidential palace around the general commander of the army. it looks like one of the 2 sides or both sides. want to make sure that they have the upper hand before this cease fire takes effect. mm hm. no, we can hear the echoes pretty clearly of the, of the shelling or, or the bombing behind you above you. i should say hipaa help us understand what's going on because it's now 3 days that a ceasefire is officially announced and it appears to be the 3rd day that it doesn't whole. i understand we're in the 1st few minutes of the ceasefire. so it's too early to judge, but still 3 sees fires and 3 times the fighting continues. what's going on? well, 1st of all, the army did say that they have destroyed the communication means between the r s f

and their senior command. so it could be that those forces that are on the ground that are fighting each other. the soldiers on the ground, not necessarily the senior officers, have not gotten the orders yet to stop the fight. then there's the issue that both sides want to make sure that they have the upper hand and they're fighting and vying for control for them. the issue of the presidential palace, even though it's just the offices of the head of the country and his deputy, it's largest symbolic, and would have a high role to play in the morals of whoever holds it. then there's the issue of the general command as well. they want to make sure that whoever side wins and get takes control of it, mixed wants to make sure that they have the upper hand in this fighting. that's one of the reasons why this far is not happening. but with the continuation of the fighting. and again, with it being very hard to tell who has the upper hand, it's not clear if those people on the ground, the soldiers that are fighting on the ground, actually can receive the orders from above from their senior commanders. or if they can, they're actually ready to implemented of they're determined to finish each other

out. ok, look, we're 7 minutes into this cease fire. clearly based on just what we're hearing from your life position or the, the, the fighting has not ceased. again, we're only 7 minutes into this. what was going to preoccupy us over the next few hours is to see whether the fighting dies down or not. now on the diplomatic front, are you getting the sense, do you have any information that suggests that international diplomacy is making progress? well, the 2 sides are indeed talking to international leaders. they're talking to regional leaders to try to and this are fighting between the rapid support forces and the army. but whether that is having an effect on the ground or not is the question. it's clear that both sides are determined to have at least the upper hand, if not completely wiped the other out before they sit down for it talks. now we've heard from both sides, from the very beginning, from the 1st day of the fighting and how they want to play this out of the army wants to take over the rest of the one. the ours have completely disbanded and

dissolved, and they want to arrest the head of the r s f. and then there's the r s f, which has that termed which says that it wants to take over all the bases of the army. so it looks like both sides once more, each side wants to make sure that they have the upper hand that they have the control. so any diplomatic effort, if the 2 sides actually listen to those a to detox, it's not clear they will do that before the upper hand before they have the upper hand. or if they will wait to see who wins 1st are here, but we appreciate your reporting. as always, we will keep coming back to you over the next few hours to find out what you're, what you're hearing, and what your sources are saying about the fighting above ground. thank you. have a nice room else. i am lives in cartoon where the her husband and her young baby in the stream says that she has not left the house since the fighting began 4 days ago . a lot of houses around us, including us, are running out of supplies and, and food, especially that most of the food that we grew rich went off. it's 40 something

bringing much needed joys. you can see just that to it. family. ah. the other news now and us journalist evan girl cabbage has lost an appeal against his pre trial detention at a hearing in moscow. the wall street journal reporter was arrested last month by russia security services on espionage charges. washington says he's being wrongfully detained. dorothy jibari reports from moscow. the 31 year old made a court appearance here in the capital earlier on tuesday, and his attorneys were hoping that he would be able to be released on bail. but so the judge denied that request. now he's been taken back to the force of o detention facility where he will remain until his trial proceedings begin. the lawyer for every girl coverage pointed out that they will continue to fight, to try and get him released on some kind of a bail. even

a house arrest would be something they were willing to consider as well. they say that keys maintaining his optimism wall in prison, and that he will continue to fight and maintain that he's innocent and he's pleading not guilty to the charges he could face up to 20 years in prison. here, if he is found to be guilty as good, our white house correspondent, kimberly how could she's in washington? kimberly gross coverage, of course a u. s. citizen his case of high concern to american diplomacy, what are you finding out? yeah, that's right. the biden administration has been speaking out gravely concerned about the lack of consular access that it has received. it is something that it has been making a top priority in terms of trying to speak to evan curse covets and pointing out that it only receives the ability to communicate with the wall street journal reporter one day before his hearing something that is calling completely

unacceptable it should also point out that the white house is calling the detention of the reporter other than the charges against him, completely baseless. now, they will continue to make this a priority in terms of trying to continue to get communication there, calling on the russian federation to release him as well as to continue to provide this communication. we should point out that the lawyer for evan curse committee was speaking out outside of the court room and did talk about his spirits and how he will continue to fight the charges against him, which he continues to maintain. are completely false. no, it's not that it's that his in a fighting spirit is ready to prove the right to free german assume his ready to defend himself to day in the quote session, he made a corresponding statement that he was ready to prove that he was innocent of the act of incriminating him, but he holds on and thanks everyone for the world support to receive letters. an

answer sent to us as far as possible before his grateful to everyone for the support. now in terms of legal strategy, the goal that has been taken so far has been to try and to get him out of what the u. s. is calling the former k g b jail that he is currently being held in. in other words, house arrest or trying to even seek bales. currently, the amount that had been put forward by the wall street journal and the form of a letter saying they'd be willing to pay was 50000000 roubles. that's about $600000.00 us. but the court currently has rejected that, so there will be another attempt to try and work out some sort of deal with. kimberly, how can reporting live from washington? thank you. still ahead on al jazeera, 3 prominent officials from chin is his main opposition party, arrested hours after police detained the party leader. ah

hannah 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, if the jury satisfied as to that, that there's been proof of the actual damages that were incurred by the point. so
