know a lot of people are trying to flee cartoon. do you plan to try and make this risky journey with? are you planning to try and flee khartoum as many others tried to get out of the capitol was gone. so what's up with don't was ramos with us or i took, i understand. currently yours stuck inside the university. do you have food? do you have water? basic supplies? no, we don't, we don't have food and we don't know what it was. cut off. you know,

sudanese army. now some people have reported being looted with their properties, arrested, including their phones and all the cash and money that they were carrying with them . at some people have reported that they cars were stolen as well and that they had to continue the rest of the journey on foot or get to a safe location before they had to rely on the kindness of passer buys to be able to get them to places that they want to go to them, their cars that have been shot at with families killed and but, but people say that that is the risk they're willing to take because of the situation here in the hot assume we were upstairs just a few minutes ago and we had to come down to the basement because of the heavy artillery strikes that we can hear around the vicinity of the presidential palace and the general command, as well as our air strikes. also happening in the northern parts of the capitol, hotel room and heavy artillery being fired around abdomen city. so the situation in the capital hot assume is forcing many, many people here to instead of trying to stock up, which is what they had hoped to do in the early days of this fighting people are now focused on trying to get out to places where they know there's electricity,

there's running water and where they can get medical assistance and what happened to yet another sees fire? is it a case of another day? another failed. so as far yes, that was the 4th attempt on wednesday evening to have a cease fire where people would be able to not even talk up at this point because people had given up hope on that for people to be able to leave their homes and tries to find safer grounds in rural areas, places again, like referent mile or $20.00 states. but then that did not even last a single minute from the early hours from the early minutes of sci fi, which is supposed to be starting yesterday at around 6 pm local time, we were able to hear heavy artillery strikes that continued on into the early hours of the morning and up to now there are still heavy air strikes. heavy artillery heads that we can hear under between 2 of the general command, and as well as in cities, like under the man and battery. now, in the northern parts of the capitol, whether it's fighting,

the army says that it has handed over $117.00 egyptian soldiers to egypt. they were put down for training the recess that, that they handed another 27 soldiers that which they captured in murder, we over to the international red cross, which in turn handed them over to the embassy here. so the agent that were trapped in the crossfire between the army and the rapid support forces have been handed over to their authority, but civilians to denise here in the capital still remain trapped. many of them saying that it's still not safe for them to go out to try to find what they are to try to find a way to get out the capital to stay for grounds. all right, thanks so much. have a morgan there. now my, hey, mass is an indian travel blogger and youtube, who is visiting sudan when the conflict began. he says this fighting just the kilometer from his vocation, but he has to stay where he is. i don't have any plans. right? no, i don't have any plans because the people who are fleeing from the city to our town,

so they're having any family or friends outside. so as a traveler or me really hard to go to, i don't believe because in conflict is happening. other parts of the country that's going on. so if there is any evacuations starting from our country, that it will be better to say cargo. i'd actually really tell you sometimes the bombing sound that ag bonding on it's makes like take a breath of actually seconds on every day we can see the black smoke on the edge. you know me from my place that the main place in the airport from yesterday they were my own being amongst the bunch or even nearby. just my how my feet got shots sounds finally all still had on the news hour including we hear from an inspiration refugee flight. the syrian was become the mayor of

a town in germany columbia's present. busy goes to meet joe biden, hoping that changes countries relations with america and installed the milwaukee bucks get there 1st when in the n b, a playoff that's coming up later with fall ah, to businessman, who organized a charity event blamed for creating a stampede in yemen capital have been arrested at least $78.00 people died in the crash and san our crowds gathered to receive cash handouts and food. how should matter borrow reports? ah, this is the moment of the stampede in santa hundreds of people had gathered at a school to receive donations from a wealthy businessman. as the crowd surged chaos ensued and many were trapped in

a narrow alley. segments such by even the latter simply hospital has received 7 to 3 people. among them are those who are in critical condition. there are 2 patients in intensive care and 13 other cases are in need of surgeries. local authorities blame poor planning, the healthier who control northern yemen, including the capital, say the arrest to local business man, whom the accused or failing to coordinate with the police. confident missouri were out of pocket while we want to investigate the unfortunate events and find a solution to make sure it never happens again. this is a great tragedy. many of our citizens died. so of the end of ramadan bull people often gather outside the houses or businesses of wealthy people, hoping to receive money during the holy month. muslims are not only required to fast, but also to rebound and show compassion for those less fortunate. witnesses blame

security forces for opening fire to disperse the crown, which they say caused panic. a hard they could be at home early. mm hm. what was ever, what happened was a big tragedy, and the who to leadership is keeping a close eye on the situation. besides, by years of violence and instability, yet it is one of the poorest countries the united nations, describes it as the world's worst humanitarian crisis. the stampede happened just days after the healthiest and saudi officials. this cast a truce to and the war and reopen airports. hashem alba, al jazeera element of, i'll see, is regional spokesperson for the near and middle east at the international committee of the red cross drawn just now from bay route. good to have you with us . so 1st of all, if we talk about this kind of situation going on in the yemen, of course you distribute a lot of aid in yemen. how does one distribute aid in

a way which you can avoid these kinds of stampedes? a thank you. unfortunate event that to happen in santa is a harsh reminder that yemen remains as one of the words worse humanitarian crisis is also a flag. how acute the end desperate or the situation of the population. as we are talking about a country where 2 thirds of the population are relying on humanitarian assistance in order to be able to sustain their daily, basically including food, including access to all basic services and needs. and just to give you an idea of how acute the air and desperate population is poor assistance or to day at 19000000 in yemen, that's about 63 percent of the population are, are,

are suffering from a food insecurity. and that number client from 16000000 of the same period last here. of course, the numbers are huge and unfortunately they are increasing by the day and every year we are seeing a decline in terms of human staring conditions in which minions are, are, are, are facing on a day to day basis up to date this unfortunate event also not only reflects to the fact that the population are in desperate need for elsewhere for humanitarian assistance. but it's important also to flag that this is happening at the moment where 8 actors are suffering and are challenged with significant or funding challenges that will impact their ability to sustain their activities and to sustain the services that they are able to provide in order to cover and it's a part of what they actually do, the actual needs of the, of the, of the population. just to give you an idea or this year figures are on the,

on the point of how one distributes. how much of a challenge is it in these kinds of desperate conditions in order to distribute the aid while avoiding this kind of chaos? of course a thank you for flagging that, but it's very important that this what you referred to as a chaos is actually an acute need of the population just a few a day or before aids. you can only imagine what the population are expecting are actually needed, needed do need in order to be able to sort of rate somehow celebrate actually they're even there and from a done. unfortunately, i do not have a answer about how and what to do better in order to avoid a such an advantage in the future. but what this important to flag is that this is only a reminder that there is a need to scale up the capacity of 8 actors in order to sustain a more,

in order to provide more in order to cover the needs of the populations. today, as i said, this is happening while we are facing as part of the 8 actors and the whole environment and landscape of 8 actors operating in yemen, facing funding challenges that will impact in the future and are actually right now impacting our capacity in order to sustain in order to provide this much he that support to the population just to give you an idea field idea. a few months ago i was i visited one of the camps of fir, displaced in mat, in central yemen where i sat with families. and so with their, with my own eyes, what are the actual situations they have to face on a day to day basis. so was with the family during lunchtime, a family of 6 where lunch consisted of 2 loaves of bread dipped in warm water because that's all they can access. and that's all they can access, of course,

in addition to, and sufficient or food support, they're there so that there is even from the 8th actors there. so the important event that happened in summer there, and fortunately an indicator of a much bigger problem, which is a desperate situation of the population that is likely to be even worse in the upcoming months. and only the end of the conflict would be the actual actual step forward and the base for the end of suffering of millions of enemies. and that who do you happen if there is a significant political steps towards the end of the contract? and that's how those steps are coming soon. thanks so much, man. terrible fever. all right, let's take you now to a world health organization press conference that's being organized in geneva situation in sudan. that's this. and then how to send medical supplies and medicines to the hospital as the interior ministry issued or with no

decision number one about don't very regarding lack of the run, their protection of hosp. those and medical teams situation is very dangerous. and the other have winnie this decision to be applied on arthur this crisis when a go on we took know about a urgent people and the regional director said that or something about the impact of the war room on the people. black or walter, lack of electricity. it's quite important to know that a lot of hospitals are not operating because of the lack of electricity and the lack of water and the lack of her of bedroom. we need this house to well still

operate again. we work with the ministry of health her in so then are the medical authorities in her tomb as well. thank you doctor nana. i bid doctor not as good as lester regarding the proceeds as any of the w h o to make sure that the medical services will reach these. the areas where the courtesy tuition is not enough. how can i make sure that the medical supplies will reach hospitals or i will be listening in there to that world health organization press conference that's going on in geneva, talking about the challenges facing the population in sudan and the call their of what that help for hospitals and a lot of hospitals, the officials are not working because they're out of basic things like water and

fuel and israeli forces have arrested 16 palestinians in raids in the occupied west bank. the confrontations at the nor refugee camp journalists was one of those arrested at the camp and more than 2 and a 1000 palestinians have been detained in their daily raids by ready forces this year. it is in judge's order. the imprisonment of opposition laid out rashid anew. she for allegedly plotting against internal state security. according to his lawyer, no, she leads the biggest opposition party on the vote. who critic of president chi psi is it was arrested on sunday president. sire is accused of orchestrating a power grab off the suspending parliament. 2021

rush. no, she accuses the government of misusing the judiciary. it's all get political opponents and the message recorded before his arrest. and monica, we believe you markedly the g more you the battle in our country is between democracy and the dictatorship. that wants to confiscate all the gains of or blessing revolution. the legal cases against us are empty and meaningless according to legal experts. the problem in our country is not with me with the unions or other parties. the problem and to initiate lies with the dictatorship and this brutal cool that is pushing the country to words, more calamities and feminist fashion. all as take a look. i was behind the political instability in tennessee over the past 2 years. in july 2021, president guy sired sack the prime minister, froze parliament and assumed executive powers. the opposition said it was a qu last july saw just 30 percent of voters turn out in a referendum,

but back sides, new constitution. only 10 percent of to new scenes voted in parliamentary elections in december and january. since early february, the government has arrested more than 20 political opponents and public figures who criticized the president and became a faithful merch really the captain abraham t. rory has signed the decree for compulsory recruitment to the armed forces. the mobilization of folks, all young people, aged 18 and above the presidency, announced it is to help fight armed groups more than 10000 people have been killed in beginner faces, violence since 2015 as go live now to make her thought he is following developments from santa gauss, capital dak are. so. is this a sign the military is struggling in the fight? absolutely, it is struggling in the words of the mountain that brings us those military gentle

leader captain tore. it has lost control of over 40 percent of ricky fosset was territory. number 2 is roughly the size of the united kingdom. imagine if scotland wales were in the hands were no longer in the hands of 10 downing street, and that's what's happening in brick foss. so those territories in the north, in the center and the east of the country are now move, seen the hands of the local iso affiliated, but also the local, i'll come to affiliate. so in the face of this surge of attacks, well, the, the military june in walker to go has launched this national conscription, the national mobilization, asking anyone over the age of 18 to take up arms to fight off the arm groups. and there's plenty of people in this country of 2x2ww people where the median age is 17. and that's a resource that captain tory wants to tap into. why?

well, that's because it can no longer count on the french used to count on the french for air support, but also for troops on the ground. those military cooperation ties have been severed a couple of months ago. so there's a gap in the security need and it hopes that for those people, civilians will be able to fill in that gap. sammy, and how people reacting to nicholas. well, overwhelmingly there's large supports for this national mobilization. of course, there's been a lot of, of propaganda videos or, or act, or at least a news features about how the troops are doing on the ground. now, every night at the 8 o'clock bulletin that's watched by most of the population, both on the radio and television, between the sports and the weather forecast. there's a daily update on how the troops are doing. and so there's also the fact that so

many people have been affected by these attacks by our group. we're talking about 2000000 people displaced in burkina faso. most of them children, tens of thousands of people killed. and so in the face of this, there's a general feeling that what captain abraham char is doing and trying to do is the right thing. and so there are people that are willing to take up arms. and there's also the fact that most of these young people don't have jobs, they're sitting idle at home. and so if you join the volunteer services, if you join the arm groups, then you earn a small wage of around $80.00 per month. but that small wage goes a long way in a country where most people live on less than $2.00 a day. and add to that the risk of hunger and famine, the united nations office in new york on choose a release to report that for the 1st time, 45000 people at the border, burkina,

faso and molly, or at the risk of famine. and so faced with famine and faced with growing attacks, well, the military june titan walker do are desperate on calling on civilians to take up arms. sammy, all right, thanks so much. nicholas hocksey in india, calls in the western state of goods ross has rejected opposition. politician role gan this position to suspend his conviction. a lower court had sentence candy to 2 years in prison last month on charges of defaming prime minister there under moody . it was disqualified from parliament following his conviction. candy can now tried to say the conviction in a higher court in pakistan, an angry crowd is confronted the governor of the scene of a landslide in which 5 people died on tuesday. the volunteer rescue workers were unhappy at the pace of operations declared the site near the thought of border crossing the road from the shower in pakistan to

a cold wind. the east they've got this circulation of clouds has been disappointingly cool, cloudy, and wet for quite a while now. and he's a spinny office, it'll system this going through austria, germany and the low countries had down towards the alps. i think later on thursday and lasting into friday, which leaves a gap in the middle where things will warm up and, and the sun will come out in poland and in austria, dental was hungry and the balkans, for example, that on shore breeze keeps it cool. and often crowding a good part of england that you can get warmth or western scotland is obvious. he wants in france and still in spain and portugal. nazareth represents baby. the code is part of switzerland where that is ranging 1st a bat. it warms up to the average of 50 pretty readily by friday and saturdays as a short lived feature, but significant. this is the picture on friday, significant snow, just dissipating. i think in the alps with rain to the south is that still the warmth and bordeaux, but like what's happening to portugal? a big change here, significant wind of rain and cloud, of course,

for north africa the picture remains rather stubborn. new, the same is hot and this a hell, it's still wet in nigeria and cameroon. and down in gab on, ah, inequality, corruption, repression and re the political, it just decided to cut to the piece of cake and shared among each other. and job commentary explores the desperate states of democracy in lebanon, i, through the eyes of those who are losing hope. every day our teams are becoming blue. democracy, maybe democracy for sale. on al jazeera al jazeera sets the stage 311 here, 5 other and all or no, i have been deployed to faith, just one enemy, global experts and discussion. idea of being do come to been established democracy

. it was bound to explore and abundance of world class programming africa is the least hulu, to ask, and like, in fox, designed to inform, motivate, and inspire you on out, is iraq. oh, a wanting out here at time to recap our headlines now. thousands of people are fleeing the violence in sudan capital. several countries are considering evacuation evacuating the citizens. fighting between the army and the military, rapid support forces has entered a thick say. at least 78 people have died in

a stand page during its charity drive. in yemen, capital hundreds had gathered and received cash handouts and food over crowding across to new jersey. and john just ordered the imprisonment of opposition leader ross new jersey for allegedly plotting against internal state security. according to his lawyer that no, she is a vocal critical president chi psi is nato secretary general, yet still to but is now in kid. he's visiting ukraine for the 1st time since last year. invasion by russia. other prominent western leaders, including us president joe biden. and european commission chief of the lion have already been ukraine. the war began. all right, so now we can go live to charles stratford in kids. so charles, is this just a symbolic show support of they got some serious business

i think it's very much a symbolic show support, but there's a lot of symbolism here. i think a. busy review is, might find it surprising that this is indeed the 1st visit that the nato chief has made to ukraine since the war began. when we've seen a whole host of world leaders come to the capital to, to meet zalinski. and the reason we understand is, is because this potentially was seen as being inflammatory and to president putin because of course, in putins mind to em, ukraine's invasion, the invasion of ukraine he has regularly said was because of ukraine's aspirations to being an eventual nato member and many people will say that that's indeed why. back in 2014, the russians took control legally, annexed crimea, and were very supportive for the,

the separatists that took control of dumbasses all to do with sty, my preventing ukraine from being a nato member because of course, to become a nato member. the prerequisite is that there cannot be any, the country can not be involved in any international conflicts or day that cannot be any conflict on its borders. now zalinski has repeatedly said that he wants accelerated nato membership of it. like we saw finland get a few weeks ago that seems highly inconceivable. sultan. busy the nato chief has told zalinski yes. eventually nato membership will come up, but not for the time being. so yeah, there you can imagine there's a lot being discussed here and it comes at a time where we are seeing this build up for this expected ukrainian counter offensive or i will leave it there. thanks so much. charles stratford, cuba national assembly has ratified a 2nd 5 year term for president miguel diaz canal. the leader of the communist

party, the only recognized political movement in the country, one more than 97 percent of the vote. which comes as the on and face is one of its worst economic crises in history. many jumping in the immediate future, we must focus on food production, the use of idle productive capacities, the increase of foreign exchange earnings, the transformations required by the socialist states enterprise. the efficiency of the investment process, the complementarity of economic actors, and the participation of foreign investment. all this is in order to increase the supply of goods and services and control inflation in the u. s. president joe biden will house colombian, president, gustavo petro, in washington. later on thursday, columbia has long been america's closest ally and latin america. but for the 1st time in history, a left this government is in power pushing for

a change in relations. alexander, i'm here to reports from bob at our music he's done even before taking offered the united states. colombian president several patron made clear that the goal of his trip was to start a new chapter in this country's relationship with the u. s. bond up by pacing columbia has to do with a change of policy in the united states. the us columbia alliance on these matters can help solve issues that affect both countries. and what we will propose is a new agenda, new mediterranean, and by law. the 2 countries have long had a special relationship, but when mostly limited to security and counter narcotics. but now petra wants to expand that to include the issues like climate change, regional economic inequality, and changing the war and drugs for the reason. he believes the time is right with china and even russia certain greater influence in latin america. better knows, washington needs to keep columbia as a strong partner, an ally will be splash was former columbia for a minister. rodrigo, by the says,

much has changed in the region. the 1000 is the u. s. has last influence, including here in latin america, even more now that the left has one in almost every country. president biden must be worried about that. that explains why he's administration has been so open to petros government, which might not be his favorite, but for programmatic reasons, he has maintained a high level of communication and famine. washington feared the election of a true left, his president and former gonna be a member to lead the u. s. mean, partner in the region. and one openly critical of the us led war and drugs are yet in just 8 months in office patron government has already hosted secretary of state anthony, blinking and an array of high level officials before this early invitation to washington. the u. s. s. all but given up on pursuing a restart of aerial fumigation of coca fields and has discreetly criticized some patron policies, such as negotiations with columbia, matthew groups. but they agree and other things. notably, the need to pursue

a return of democracy and oil rich venezuela patron normalize relations with president nicolas my daughter, and has since become the, the fact a mediator between my, during the fight in administration. look at that bit. and the disagreement is mainly between the venezuelan government and the u. s. at this point. and this has created this triangle between the u. s. venezuela and columbia. the expectation is not necessarily the columbia will lead these talks, but that it can unblock them. many of service are also saying that it will be interesting to see just how well the 2 presidents will hit it off on a personal level for all of this to progress. and while it's unclear how much the agenda between the 2 countries will truly change what its career is that everybody involved, once the relationship to remain strong, i listen that i'm just with that at least 2 people have been killed in storms in central parts of the us tornadoes, high winds, and hail of coals, property damage,
