12:04 pm
of the capitol, places like jupiter, and those are places which have been witnessing intent fighting over the past few days. residents say that there's been intense artillery shelling around their homes at some homes were collapsing due to the ongoing fighting between the paramilitary group and the sudanese army. then there's another part of the capital. it's witness intense airstrikes overnight. and in the early hours of the morning, the residency that they were able to see for denise army forces on the ground for the 1st time since this conflict started combing through residential areas. looking for r f f. press a now. so it looked like, despite the fact that a truce was announced by the rapid support for the food in these army seems to be keen on continuing. it's, it's offensive trying to, to take over places where they are, are known to be present. ok, well we're almost 7 days into this conflict was the state of play now. i mean is as either side, been able to gain the upper hand well,
12:05 pm
when you look at the capital with the ongoing fine thing, it's still very hard to tell, especially because of the later development, which is the presence of food in these army troops on the ground and the infant fighting that is currently ongoing. the battle and the fighting around the vicinity of the general command of the army has died down that has been the scene of intense fighting between staff befitting these army forces and the rapid support for them as the presidential palace has not been. lots of eric trikes or heavy artillery hurried around that vicinity. so it looked like those 2 places which have been seen again of in time fighting have come down. but when you and when you look at the, the states around the country south says it's in control of most of the positions it's, it confronted the stuff in 2 states yesterday on, on thursday. but it's still very hard to get a sense of who has the upper hand, especially with for the 1st time, sidney's army, 4th of patrolling the grounds and looking for 3 or 4 rapids support forth of in various residential areas around the capital to me. okay, thank you so much. that's been morgan for us in cartoon

12:15 pm
12:16 pm
the me here what you just hear a reminder of our top story is the salad, the you in is calling for an immediate humanitarian, sci fi and through don over the holiday, the rapids for the 4th or 5th, it has agreed to a 3 day truth about this, we know confirmation from the sudanese army all around the world, muslims, and mocking eat with prayers and festivities. the timing of aid is determined by the sizing of the christians moon. in some countries, the holiday will be celebrated on saturday. and back to that breaking news story, u. k. deputy prime minister dominant crop has resigned. he's been under investigation following formal complaints about his behavior. rob was previously accused of bullying checking back to when he served as foreign minister and justice minister sonya guy ago join me now from london for more on this. and well,
12:17 pm
this has been a long and convoluted process. can you just walk us through what slid up to this? yes, i mean the process has taken about 5 months and it went into extraordinary detail. in fact, the top lawyer was recruited to look into all the various allegations into mr. robs behavior. and the report itself goes into those details. on 1st day there was a loss of pondering the porch. in fact, the results were expected yesterday and they landed on the prime minister mister c next death yesterday. but there was an awful lot to go through them. the detail is understood to be quite a lot mister rob did say that if any of the complaints were to be up held, then he would indeed resign. initially he seemed to resist that, but it seems now according to that 2 of the complaints in that report have indeed
12:18 pm
been held in a letter to the prime minister. mister rob did state that he remained supportive of mister c neck and the government. but the fact of the matter remains that he does feel the best was perhaps unfair to him. as he stated this inquiry has set a dangerous precedent. now it's no secret that the husband animosity between certain arms of the government and the civil service. certain politicians cabinet ministers within the government have in the past refer to the civil service as being the great blog. so that has really instituted a source of, of a culture of democracy between these 2 very crucial arms of the government box. the allegations that were placed against mister rob was serious. indeed that was the serious allegations. a bullying of intimidation stuff was said to have felt really buddies, some going into the office, and some even had felt so ill and unable to do their job. and this situation had
12:19 pm
caused a lot of concern as to how workable the situation would have been. in fact mister rob had not reside then members of the civil service had said that they would have resigned and said so either way, it would have been a difficult situation. in this case. mister c, not competitors were done for him by mister rob giving, offering his resignation. but perhaps, you know, it's going to be a double edged sword mister c. that because mr. rob was an extremely close political ally of the prime minister. indeed, he was one of the 1st ones who went out to batch for him. when he went the job of prime minister. he's going to be quite a for still within the government still has quite a lot of ties within that top part of the government and was of course, deputy prime minister. so it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to remain silent on this issue as he goes from the, from benches of the government. implication is the for the prime minister. and i
12:20 pm
mean, what happens now for, for where she's soon neck, and how does he, i guess, stop the fall out and the damage from this? well, that's an interesting question. be best to, to acknowledge the fact that this is the 3rd cabinet ministerial post that has been been astounding down from in the past 6 months. we had fussed, gavin williamson, who was a former education secretary who was again born to stand down because of bullying and intimidation reports as well. and not a minister was also forced to back down as well because of questions surrounding his tax affairs. the 3rd one, this is going to present very much challenge to mr. snack as well. these were key figures. mr. mr. rob wasn't the, the key figure. he was relying on him and his experiences just the secretary to try
12:21 pm
and push through certain laws that were in place regarding the small boats, legal affairs of refugees coming to the island while he was relying on his knowledge and in this respect. so this is going to be quite problematic for mr. ne not can. of course recall. forget the fact that there is going to be a general election coming in into the next year. expected to be mr. c. like is going to need all the political allies that he can get who's going to be tough once a question remains will say exactly how many of those tough political allies, strong ones like mr. rob. all going to be left in the cabinet who are going to be able to pursue mr. c. next agenda with the same for all city. ok, thank you so much for that. that's on your guy for us in london. when they to secrecy, generally insulting burg, isn't germany along with us defense secretary lloyd austin, there are ads ran state base that discussing the war and ukraine with the ukraine defense contact group. austin says the us will provide more in defense is an
12:22 pm
ammunition and promise to support key for as long as it takes ukraine is still standing strong and our support has not wavering. and i'm proud of the progress that we have made together. in total, the members of this contact group have provided more than $55000000000.00 in security assistance for ukraine. that's a tenfold increase. since we 1st met just in the past few months, we provided the equipment and training to support in additional mind armored brigades for, for ukraine, that has already strengthen ukraine's position on the battlefield. i said, didn't give yesterday on that. the ukraine said future is in the europe lengthy family, an all ne dollars have agreed that the ukraine well become a nato
12:23 pm
a member. but the main focus now a so of course. busy on the, on how to ensure that ukraine prevails. because without the sovereign independent ukraine, there is no meaning in discussing our membership, which al stratford has more now from cave. well, the coals from ukraine, i have become in recent weeks, increasingly loud and frustrated. everybody from the president laudermill zalinski too many of his military officials, people here basically saying that they need more weapons and they need those weapons fast. and that's in preparation for this long awaited and expected what's been called a spring counter offensive. but there are some very real things that ukraine in say they need chief of which are things like air defense. there are concerns that if this counter offensive, when it does start and cities across the country could become exposed to, for example, russian air strikes. and then of course,
12:24 pm
there's the coal for more tanks. we know that around about 8 countries of already committed the german leopard to tanks. and we know that the u. k. also has, as donated or is donating 14 challenger tanks. the americans are saying that 30 abrams tanks are expected, but so those abraham's unexpected to be here, for example, until august. and they involve a lot of training and there are going to be coals for more ammunition, more artillery as well. so we expect to hear. yeah, a lot of focus on them on those kind of weapon systems that the ukrainians want, but it's going to be very interesting to find out whether we're going to see commitments or any kind of information as to whether long range weapons are going to be committed something that is hugely controversial and it seemed potentially as being very escalade tree for the russians. activists are beginning 4 days of protests and london to demand the british governments take urgent action to curb
12:25 pm
climate change. the extinction rebellion protest group wants an end to the use of fossil fuels. it's calling on tens of thousands of people to join the reli. need back a joins us alive from the rally in london. and to need to have asked for tens of thousands of people to turn up, how many actually have i would talk about several 1000. i'd say the moment it's difficult to tell because it is a damn start to this 4 days of action made being called quite simply, the big one because it brings together more than 90 different organizations. it is a movement of movement. so i suppose of many of those are gathered here within a stone's throw of parliament to get that cool message across that we are living in a climate emergency and that so the consequences of inaction, all annihilation. i'm this marshall, this gathering is somewhat different to some of the things that we've seen in the past. logical, his legal, the police have allowed us to take place. also,
12:26 pm
one of the co, the saga, or the call organizations, the climate action group extension rebellion and said that they will no longer continue with its trademark tactic of disrupting cities like london or other european capitals by blocking bridges or roads or glaring themselves to, to buildings and instead are more interested in people action, but one group that remains committed to ongoing disruptions is the group, just an oil, and i'm joined by gray. i'm boss who is the spokesperson of that? great, great many. thanks for joining. i'll be here. so you must be slightly disappointed that extinction rebellion has now decided to do things differently. will share exactly the same demands. there's nothing to separate us. we both calling for the end of new oil and gas projects in the u. k. it's a very simple demand in line with the i p c. c. it's in line with all the climate sciences in line with you land adjacent his and the only people in this country who are not doing anything about it or our government. that's why, unfortunately,
12:27 pm
we're required to undertake non violent civil was just because we are the fire alarm. we are the fire alarm warning of the terrible changes we're going to see the and i lay sure you describe rodman isn't acting. we have to, i told him we, we have of course seen recent seems all morning protested, throwing them with the orange shirt, powder all over themselves with a well sneak a championships. we've seen a suit, pearl did a painting of anger painting in the national gallery. what sort of message does not say, do you think when it comes to bringing people who on the sidelines into the fall when it comes to climate action? we have been very successful in what we've done. we have increased awareness of this issue. and in all the main political parties, apart from the current administration, conservative party support our key demand of no new oil and gas projects. and that has to be not just in the u. k, that has to be global, but i live in this country. and so that's where i'm operate. ok,
12:28 pm
so no new oil and gas projects. it will key message going bus money. thanks for talking to us. well, as you heard the passionate plea for the government to be more forthright, and how it issues tended for you all and gas exploration in the north sea, for instance, got a few more days of this. the mpg will return for recess on monday and what they will find when they come back to work as an awful lot of people on that doorstep with some lout, a very pertinent things to say to them. okay, we'll be sure to be across that. thank you very much. this neat packet for us in london. in 23 fighters, i reported to have withdrawn from parts of north kiva and democratic republic of congo. they had seized parts of the province since re emerging in 2021. but congolese communities have told al jazeera, the armed group is still present in some areas. catherine sawyer, reports canyon troops in cuba, in north cuba province. they are holding forth in areas from where the armed group
