2:07 pm
against iris if physicians. but this new development with the presence of rapid support for us as anew of sydney's armed forces on the ground and direct confrontation of a between thee as soon as the army and the r s f. it looks like one side will come out, victors of the other, but this is all down to how the battle conducted on the ground. many residents say that they don't know how things will play out, but it's not only in the capital. houghton fighting is happening in, in many residential areas. yes. but there's also other states so far the sudanese army has control of most of the states there has been fighting reported in banal than and in, in north, dar for and in norfolk to find that's the southern part of the country as well as fighting reported in north, dar, 4 in the western parts of the country where people are already fleeing to neighboring chad. so when you look at this, it's still very hard to tell who has the upper hand. but we do know that for the time being there is still intense fighting happening between the army and the r s. f. ok, thank you so much. that's have been morgan for us and count too. many civilians are
2:08 pm
trying to escape the violence. some are fleeing to rural areas in sudan, and thousands have already managed to cross into neighboring chad. humanitarian agencies there say that running out of resources and are appealing for help to cope with the influx of refugees appear, or nora is country director and representative and chaired for the you and world food program. he says more supporters needed from international donors. it's re becoming a big challenge. we have provided food assistance for the month of april for the last months. and we have 600000 refugees over audience with 400000 already also done in the out there. and now on top of that, we have 1800000 people chug and people suffering for c d food insecurity. so it's a big challenge. and now we have, i was a, the border with unit shower units at 40 and the government. and we saw those
2:09 pm
10020000 crossing and we believe that those people that are just at the border, it was kind not easy to cross with very. it was just for the meet them a dry river to meet up to cross. but now we expect much more as soon as the security will allow them to move. just this morning, we are dispatching a convoy of food date 410000 people only for 2 months or 20000 people call one months. and it's very complex. we are boring from a project to another and a but we really need support. we cannot continue like this. and in time window is very short, we will have a strong rainy season and it's going to be extremely difficult to reach those population in 2 months. so nowadays we don't have support to buy to dispatch the food at the right place on the borderline. it takes time, the trucks that are the part of this morning from jemina will arrive only on monday . so it gives you some of the difficulty to help those people that really need your
2:10 pm
support today. ah, those were around the world muslims, a marking aid with prayers and festivities. well this was the scene in mecca and lambs wholly a size. the timing of 8 is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon and some countries the holiday will be celebrated on saturday. early morning eat prayers have taken place at alex a mosque and occupied east jerusalem. during ramadan, tensions were running high as is ready, forces conducted rides at the compound and prevented thousands of palestinians from entering upon. a gem june has more from occupied the east jerusalem. we've seen housings of worshippers arrive here to the entrance of alex, a mosque compound at lions gate. could see these crowds of people around us. there is a palpable sense of relief people looking forward to praying their
2:11 pm
e prayer in a peaceful atmosphere. a marked contrast to how much tensions had escalated earlier this month. it's a festive atmosphere here today to people bringing their families. you can see balloons around as you can also see right here that they are selling toys for the children that develop, hey, met at the, the, and some on we are very connected with alex and mosque. our roots are here. we'll stay here despite over difficulties that we're expecting to face. we exist and we will continue to exist. total, i'm the day i'm out of book value. consider the matter. thank god, we are happy on people at gathering for pres, crystal. and there are no closures. the read rare is now over and palestinian worshippers are exiting the alex on mos compound. now we did witness one scene of minor scuffling between israeli forces and palestinian worshippers a little bit earlier, but it was over quite quickly. and this is really nothing out of the ordinary here . and just over 2 weeks ago israeli forces entered the up some mosque. the lobster
2:12 pm
grenades, they beat palestinian worshippers. during one of the incursions around $400.00 palestinians were actually arrested. that caused quite a bit of escalation. and since then, there have been efforts to de escalate. that's why you think you saw things calm down the last and days of ramadan. and so far into read things have remained calm. how much m g m j 0 occupied is. oh, will you co deputy prime minister dominic rob has resigned? he has been under investigation following formal complaints about his behavior. rob was accused of bullying dating back to when he served as foreign minister and justice minister. he's the 3rd senior prime minister minister to leave prime minister where she su next cabinet in the past 6 months. to next is his accepted the departure with great sadness. the sonya guy ago joins me now from london. anna, this has been a long and convoluted process. can you just walk us through what's lit up to this?
2:13 pm
ah, what really was the result of a yes validation that have been swirling around mr. rob. and then of course, there was the 5 month investigation which this report came out after examining all the details supposed to report a was initiated by mr. rob predictably, a political purposes. but there is actually no question about the tone and in which you stated the resignation letter. the fact that mister up to stick to his work, and if any of the accounts of pulling were up, how's that he would resign? what he did so with the tone dot sir, said he put across his opinion back perhaps his was unfair. and that minutes we had the right to be able to use perhaps all kinds of tactics to be able to when all kinds of talk to us. but certainly strong, but taxes to be able to get this stuff to do that bidding. so, oh no, no, you got
2:14 pm
a, a, a w prime minister now departed from his role, very strong political ally of the prime minister who's now conceding defeat in this matter. as we mentioned, he's the 3rd senior minister to leave her, she soon, ex cabinet. mean, what does that mean for the prime minister? a this no doubt about the fact that the prime minister has lost a very strong vocal. but let it go, ally, let's not forget that mister rob came out boxing for mister c 9. when he made his leadership bed, i was always seen that his is right. how did i which of course brings the question exactly. what did mister c like know about these allegations at the time zone ways shy away from perhaps making any direct dances about the issue whether he was warned about the conduct of mister rob. but certainly,
2:15 pm
mister mister c not finds himself without a crucial ally in a cabinet. and this is a government that is going into the election next. it has not forget also that there is a cost to live in price is that this is a country which has been with strikes for months already. and of course there are some pretty important judicial issues at all. i have said that the punch is facing in terms of how it's handling with refugees that are coming up from across the, on the side of your big continent. so quite a tough situation that mr. finds himself now without that case i life certainly is . thank you so much. that is sonya guy for us from london was still ahead on al jazeera mm. climate activists court for 4 days of protests and the streets of london trying to force the government to go green. ah
2:16 pm
frank assessments this treaty process with this hopefully. hm. and what countries could come together and stop putting in place the rules will allow us to treat with global cummins with the attention of deserves inside story. on al jazeera, we got him in sanchez, is an acid attack survival. after some 64 reconstructive surgeries got him and says, the trauma never fully goes away. and part of that has to do with the factor attacker was never arrested. as i meet at the woman who has survived himself, this type of violence, i realized the scale of the social problem protest calling on the mexican government to do more to her violence against women have intensified in recent years. this for the extreme violence is partly rooted in bad policy, given that authorities in mexico treat acid attacks the same way as any other form of assault. one of the activists are pushing for is passage of
2:17 pm
a bill currently in the mexican congress, which seeks to reclass of by acid attacks as a distinct crime equivalent to attempted murder is passed. the new law would increase the punishment for attacks using acid with up to 12 years in prison. lou ah, you're watching realtors here. a reminder of our top story is the salad. the you in is calling for an immediate humanitarian cease fire in sudan or the eat holiday rapids support forces. it has agreed to a 3 day truce, but there's been no confirmation from the sudanese army all around the world

2:20 pm
issue, which is, which is very difficult to our efforts to support and also for the vision envision. and this case also is became a targeted by both parties. you're talking about being targeted. do you think that you deliberately being being attacked or are you being caught in the crossfire for us? i think we need the independent just to get there for the said to compare, but for us now the hospital is completely out of the faces due to these attacks. but maybe we bought another, it's in some of the hospital across it on a day in the north could the fun city for hosp attacked. and this actually is a serious issue. more than 26 people died immediately. now we care about the base

2:22 pm
trying to call the community to make the 2 boxes to this one immediately. yeah, thank you so much for your time. we really do appreciate it. that is dr. bill a t, a spokesman for the sudan doctors trade union, and cartoon nato secretary general yen sultan burg is in germany, along with you as defense. secretary lloyd austin there at ramstein air base that discussing the war in ukraine with the ukraine defense contact group. austin says the us will provide more it offenses and ammunition and promised to support key for as long as it takes ukraine is still standing strong and our support has not wavered. 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 bowers and security assistance for ukraine. that's
2:23 pm
a tenfold increase. since we 1st met just in the past few months, we provided the equipment and training to support in additional mine armored brigades for, for ukraine that has already strengthen ukraine's position on a battlefield. i said in key of yesterday and that the ukraine said future is in the euro. plant, the care of family, an all nay. dollars have agreed that, that the ukraine, i will become a nato, a member, a, but the main focus now a. so of course, on, on how to ensure that ukraine a prevails because without the sovereign independence ukraine, there is no meaning in discussing our membership. activists are beginning 4 days of protests in london to demand the british government take urgent action to curb climate change extinction. rebellion, protest group wants and ins said the use of fossil fuels as calling on tens of
2:24 pm
thousands of people to join the reli. may faca joins are sly from that the really in london and, and if what if they got planned over the next 4 days? ah, well, is there ill, a festival party atmosphere actually here at the moment? but of course, the cool message are on the doorstep of the british parliament here is that we're running out of time. and that the consequence of inaction will mean that we all have to pay the price other up. so it's different organizations say more than a 100, a represented. so this isn't one mass rally. it's almost like a kind of community event, a talking shop where people come exchange ideas and work out how to spread that message even further real to parts of what we've seen in years gone by. when the likes of extinction, rebellion have brought rose bulk bridges and chain themselves. each other will glued themselves to oral company from doors of this is something different and the hope is that they'll be able to sort of spread their message

2:26 pm
it's also an asymmetry of representation when it comes to climate activism and people that care about the environment. there was a real lack of racial diversity. here is well to say whether there's a diversity of socio economic backgrounds as well. but do you have to be somewhat privileged to care about the environment? well, there's always that saying that the u. k. climate, the environment movement is very wide and very middle class. but i think that's changing. now we are seeing kids join there. friday futures we are seeing. and then in our youth network, we're seeing a lot of 2nd 3rd generation migrants, kids of my grandparents that are joining our movement. no, i think that's changing because there's also a growing consensus that climate change the global issue. so it needs to be addressed globally, and it needs to be addressed in solidarity, just this in equity. so that's our message as well. if you want in spread now i'm regina from the philippines. and before in the past, normally my grants like me or are stuck to migrate migration issue, which is very,
2:27 pm
very important. but they know, i think us a lot of people like me who are also looking and working on economic justice, east end of the climate justices. dorothy guerrero had a policy for global justice. now many thanks and enjoy the next few days will as you have their passion to play form, not only global justice now, but lots of organizations here for the government to do more. as i said, this is an opportunity for groups that ordinarily may well work in isolation to come together and share their ideas. m p.
