morrow we air base is 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 homage. 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 of 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. they said 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, har to 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 gun to do both. and we have bought 6 bags of noodles to fat country. 3 people for one beat that is also salt and kick the cake will expire tomorrow so he can have it for dinner language he 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 general, so brohannon, mary urging them to agree to a 24 hour ceasefire, to allow sudanese to safely reunite with their families and to obtain desperately

needed release supplies for now with unclear if the 2 generals are willing to hear these requests as their capital city continues its descent into a war zone. rahile mohammed al jazeera are to have a morgan is live in how to me the situation. there is sounds pretty grim hipaa does what the situation is right right now. well, it's 3 hours since i thought of the agreed upon sci fi or the sci fi that never took effect, because we can still hear the sound of anson of a plane flying overhead. and we in a basement of the building that we are in because of the intense abstract that has been going on going all day against our rapid support for his positions by the sudanese army. now we can hear the sound of artillery being fired. we did, you heard some just a short while ago, so it's clear that the ongoing battle between the earth, half the rapids support forces and the food in these military is still not over

a despite the fact that both sides agreed to cease fire. now we've spoken to people who are in other dental areas as well. we're now in the central part of the capital her to me, but we've spoken to people who live in the northern part of the capital. and they say that they can hear heavy artillery and shelling as well, and people him to mine have in durham, i have reported the same thing. so despite the fact that both sides have agreed to cease fire, it's obvious that there is still fighting ongoing. both sides accusing the other of violating that his wire and both sides saying that and because they had to defend themselves, they also fought back and based on the latest diplomatic efforts well, the latest diplomatic efforts was the one that was made by the us to try to get a 24 hour fire for those who need immediately immediately supplies to be able to access them. and those who needed medical attention to be able to get to hospitals that his fire did not or does not appear to be taking whole. despite both sides,

initially agreeing to it. and then there's that issue, the intake of mental authority for development. that's the regional block. i got. they said that they will be sending and voice the heads of south dan, can you and you booty to try to talk to the 2 leaders, but they have not been able to land because of the fighting that has been ongoing around the airport. and because both, i say that the security does not allow it at the moment. but we've also seen statements from the army, from the army commanders saying that they're not willing to negotiate with the rapid support forces. and they want the, the, the, the group, the group, the 4th of the rapids support forces. because they're now rebels. they want to, to, to basically obliterate them. that's the statement that we're getting from the army . then we had the statement that we got from the rapid support forces chief on the face of the fighting, that he will not stop until he takes over all the army bases. so despite the mediation efforts, the international and the regional mediation efforts, it look like it looks like both sides do not want to talk to each other. and if

they do, they want to do that. when one side has an upper hand over the other. he'd been more than one person how to him. thank you very much. indeed. shortly out of us, he's far came into force. are you an under secretary general fish military affairs, martin griffith's tweeted, the targeting of humanitarian workers and facilities continues and dawn were receiving reports of attacks and sexual violence against aid workers. he added this is unacceptable and must stop mystery. an assignment lives in cartoon with her husband and baby. she hasn't left the house since fighting began and could soon run out of food. a lot of the houses around us, including us, are running out of supplies and, and food, especially that most of the food that we keep in fridge went off. it's 40 something degrees here and living for 4 days or left. no. for food. right now. we are all now sitting in

is china's relationship with the rest of the world. china wants to do this transition into this innovation based model, more automation and the using more industrial robots. and i requires a significant import of chips and other high tech product. and china and us relation isn't getting better anytime students and more export ban or post significant pressure for china's manufacturing. in general. your political concern has prompted apple to reduce its reliance on chinese manufacturing this year. it's accelerating operations in india. instead. analysts say many companies are looking to diversify their supply chains, but few are ready to ditch china entirely. more of a case of, i would say western companies and institutions heading their best by increasing exposure and sourcing from other. ready agents rather than
