back control of state tv on monday, it's called on the r s f to turn themselves. and they said that it is not in the interest of our homeland to have its own countrymen carrying arms against one another. therefore, we call them not to be part of this conspiracy to lay down arms and turned themselves in. and then let's see if they will consider joining the ranks of sedans, armed forces. her tomb and other cities are now battlefields with tanks rolling through the streets and dead bodies strewn across pavements. medical staff are worrying. they can't reach the injured because hospitals are under attack. there's not enough medicine, food or water with power clots. generators are operating at critical levels. people in hot tomb had hoped to cease fire would hold. many have reported missing relatives and want to find them but can't because of the continuous fighting. and others say they've not been able to bury their dead. but some are venturing out to

it is the 4th day in a row without water. we don't know what will happen in the coming days, but i hope for the best honesty, the lamoya, it's a great struggle, no water, no electricity. there's panic and fear we haven't slept for 4 days. the children are terrified. young going fighting and those supply shortages and also forced hospitals in how to him to close all patients except those in the intensive care unit to been evacuated. her capitals, children's hospital. this was all a simon had though most of the saw her. this was the escalation of violence and security attentions the doctors had to evacuate all the cases except the cases inside the intensive care unit. the saw that there is a shortage in the starved medicine and oxygen. the hospital is witnessing a shortage in many things. even the doctors we have left shortly after the cease fire came into force the un under secretary general for humanitarian affairs. martin griffiths treated,

the targeting of humanitarian workers and facilities continues in sudan were receiving reports of attacks and sexual violence against aid workers. he added, this is unacceptable and must stop. and i don't, where's the communications coordinator at the norwegian refugee council, he travelled to get a reef in eastern sudan before the fighting broke out in ha to him. he says he's concerned about reports of attacks on aid workers and says it's crucial for humanitarian access to be restored to help refugees. we need this humanitarian axis disease b won't because his be was, they depend on us. they are a lot of emergencies happening analyses supporting a lot of americans. he is in these gums, and now it has been a since april 15th, always bob from working with stopped forming, responding to our if you use, for example, here in godaddy for a long, we have about 4 to 1500. you me. and if you use that, we are serving. so we need an agency's fire, an e for we have

a c spite. of course we should, we will always, we will immediately start our work. we'll go continue. i would work in the camps. i'm to help that if you use that, we are helping andy displaced that we are helping but ceasefire we, we learned that there are some ceasefire for example, yesterday, it was not a fully ceasefire. and now today also we hear the boat. she's fired. well, the didn't have been i have been what have been actually the opposite. we had now a lot of a big clash and big conflict in hot or not. we are so worried about that since we hear that they are city. are you and stuff, not good attack in that for this also might have been closer. we are all him italian workers. and now this release, city of concern for us. ah

. you know, to states mission, watch, cable news network fox news has settled its defamation suit, brought by dominion voting systems. the company that provides nations electronic voting machines. fox has agreed to pay $787.00 and a half $1000000.00 just under half. what dominion has been suing for fox present as repeatedly gave voice to donald trump's claims that the election was stolen and that dominions version machines were responsible. today's settlement of $787500000.00 represents vindication and accountability. * lies have consequences. the truth does not know red or blue. people across the political spectrum, k on and should disagree on issues even of the most

profound importance. but for our democracy to endure for another 250 years. and hopefully much longer. we must share a commitment to fax and trust him. i cannot washington d. c. mike, it was a very much a last minute settlement, wasn't it? yes indeed, it came a matter of hours after the jury had already been selected, everybody was waiting for opening arguments in the case. and then all of a sudden the judge announced that a settlement had been reached. that's roughly half of what dominion had originally asked for from the fox media company. but dominion's lawyers were absolutely delighted as you heard there. they see this very much as a massive victory for them. also the dominion chief executive officer john pools, saying that this is an acknowledgment that fox a light in its report, reporting saying that dominion had suffered badly in its reputation and its

employees because of what he described as fox's lives. well, the judge himself had been very clear earlier in the case that fox had indeed told untruth he identified some 20 lies that he, that isolated saying it was crystal clear that fox had not told the truth, but pointing it out. it was up to the jury to decide whether these untruth, which the ball for the case to go ahead and for the defamation charges to hold. but now all of that is gone away. dominion walk away with the money, fox hopes set it walks away with something of its reputation intact. you know, tell more about foxes reaction. well, i'm likely dominion lawyers. there were no fucks lawyers available for comment in the wake of the case. fox did release a written statement in which it says that the settlement reveals its continued

commitment to the highest journalistic standards. we are hopeful, the state then continues that all decision to resolve this dispute with dominion amicably. instead of the acrimony of device of trial allows the country to move forward from these issues we heard from the dominion lawyer to that there was a political context to this trial. busy fox making very clear that at that time it supported then donald trump, and this the judge upheld as well that there had been bias. and in fact, untruth in fox's reporting. but this particular case is not over, but the problems facing fox are not because. busy there's a, another case pending from a company called smart magic, which also produces voting machines. and that is bringing a case against fox along similar lines to the bin dominion case, claiming even more money claiming some $2600000000.00. so that is something that still lies ahead my can i thank you very much. we joined now from the states by

jane curtly professor of media ethics and law at the university of minnesota. and i was briefed on it that you were saying that you proposed to be surprised and this was quite a surprise, wasn't it? well, it sort of was a surprise. i think it was surprising because they really came down to the wire. it's not unusual for libel suits against the news media to settle at the 11th hour . this was really quite beyond the 11th hour. in that sense, it was surprising, but in, i'm sorry, go ahead and go through. and but, you know, in, in the scheme of things, i think this is not that unusual. liable cases typically do settle against the news media. what will be very interesting is seeing the ramifications for fox going forward. yeah, sure. what do you think it will mean for folks is reputation because i did have to admit, didn't they that they said that we had knowledge, the court's rulings finding a certain claims about dominion to be false, which is essentially admitting that they, they lied. well, they sort of did,

i mean, they acknowledged the judges finding and certainly in the summary judgement ruling, a few weeks ago, the judge categorically said that fox had lied. but i think their statement is kind of a weasely kind of a statement suggesting that yes, this is what the judge found. but of course, you know, the truth are loyal viewers. we are still telling you the truth and maintaining our journalistic standards. so, as is often the case in these post settlement statements, each side has tried very hard to spin the outcome here to their greatest advantage, i suppose. and not going ahead with a child avoid the need for some of the high profile folks presented in characters to, to appear in court. was that a risk for folks? no question about that. i think the spectacle of rupert murdoch and others in fox management having to testify in open court before a jury that might well have been hostile, was nightmarish or fox to be avoided at any cost,

putting their highly paid towers on the stand, having their credibility tested in open court, under the pressure of cross examination, had to be a matter of great concern. so not going to trial, they've avoided all that. but that hasn't kept their news practices from being scrutinized. because the pre trial discovery revealed so much about their internal deliberations and decision making. that's not going away. that's going to be on the public record forever. i mean, we had, you know, from, you've talked about the spin from both sides after the settlement, but we had the truth matters from dominions lawyers and the statement from folks that we hopeful that this decision to resolve it amicably. you know, will allow the country to move forward from these issues. do you think the settlement might, in some ways change the climate in which people it seems that people could actually say what they wanted and even if it wasn't true, what do you think will still that will still carry on? oh, well, i don't think that anything has happened to the actual malice standard as a result of this case. and so journalists will still have substantial protection

under our constitution to basically make mistakes in good faith. but i think we have seen the curtain parted on how these kinds of decisions are made by fox and some of the some other news organizations, given the public distrust or the media in general. this certainly doesn't bolster the opinion that journalists have high standards and are very careful. i'm not saying that fox is necessarily representative, but in many of the public size it is. so in that sense, it's kind of reinforces their negative view about the press. i would love to say that this will launch a new era of truth telling and accuracy, but i think that's probably unrealistic. responsible news organizations will continue to do their jobs with the protection of new york times versus sullivan when they needed. other news organizations. they can say fox does the bullet on this one. jane currently thank you very much indeed for you and i. thank you. thank

you. now, yes, president joe varden is once again calling for more gun control after 2 separate shootings involving homeowners this past week. in the state of missouri and 84 year old man has been charged with 1st degree is sold in the shooting of a teenager. another homeowner in new york state is also facing charges. the fatal shooting of a 20 year old woman. alan fisher has more from washington d. c. there is a sense of frustration of anger, of moments of becoming fatal near fatal mistakes. 16 year old ralph yarnell knocked on the wrong door and missouri looking for his brothers. he was shot twice once in the head. the 84 year old man who fired the short not initially charged, but no facing court after local protests as the prosecutor clay county. i can tell you there was a racial component to the case. president joe biden has pushed for new gun control legislation. he called girl telling him he hopes for
