12:02 pm
have a morgan in cartoon. and it seems yet again, the cease fire has failed his fighting. they got more intense over this morning. yes, indeed. while this is supposed to be a period where there's a cease fire between the 2 fighting 5, the rapids support forces, anthony's army fighting is indeed getting intense, according to many residents in several parts of the capital. hard to me now in the northern part of the capital residence. the report as of a few minutes ago that there has been direct compensation between the rapid support forces and the food in the army using heavy artillery and in the confrontation between the 2 sides. in the northern part of the capitol as well residency, they cannot leave their house, that there's been continuous fighting and that they can see the soldiers on the ground from both sides. now around the vicinity of the general command and the presidential palace, that's the theme of intense and fearless fighting between the 2 sides. the confrontation has not been direct. there's been heavy artillery. there's been
12:03 pm
actual strikes by the put in his army, but the compensation has not yet gotten to a direct confrontation as it's gotten over the past 24 hours in the northern part of the capital in the southern parts of the capital for whom. so despite the fact that both sides amount the fees fire because of the muslim holiday of april, further, it looks like the fighting is still ongoing and it looks like to be, but it seems to be picking up pace with both sides trying to gain an upper hand, now this is just this morning overnight. there has been some love, but the food in these army accused the rapid support for that of breaking into prison, imprint thousands of prisoners in the city of undermanned, that's a twin city of the capital for tomb. so despite the fact that again, both sides place to the fire for many people to be able to get access to basic necessities or medical attention should they need to do. so there is still ongoing confrontation in someplace as direct and in other places in direct between the 2 sides. has there been any opportunity to get people out safely and get supplies
12:04 pm
into the city while people are relying on each other, those who live in the neighborhood and who are able to get out safely outside the capital and those who are inside the capital and know where it's, it's safer to get basic commodities but overall because it's been now a week since the fighting. many shops have been close. what power cars are reported in many residential neighborhood for a week now and has been no running water supplies for many neighborhoods here in the capital. 2 people are focused on talking up on commodities at the moment. they're focused on getting out of the capital, and that's because many, many hospitals here have gone out of operations as a result of artillery trucks or because they're being forced to evacuate due to the ongoing military operations. people say that they need to get water, they need power to be able to sustain their life, and they need to be able to get medical attention because most of the hospitals here again, are out of function. so the focus right now is trying to get out of the capital to places where there is no fighting reports at places like to 0 in the central part
12:05 pm
of the country and places like river now in the northern part of the country. but many people, thousands and thousands of people remain stuck. they were not expecting that. and hard to me is not a city that is used to conflict despite that numerous wars. so many people say they don't know where to turn to for safety. okay, thank you. so much, that's a morgan for us in cartoon laz, have mentioned thousands of susan. these are scrambling to escape the violence, but agency se neighboring countries unprepared for the influx of refugees, than to monahan, has more people in cartoon or desperate to get out gathering whatever they can carry their seeking safety wherever they can find it. many have already crossed into chat more or likely to follow. we would week, next week they found drugs and the people that they had jumped into particular were being made in the time to chat. let

12:22 pm
it's time for a group to kind of really come out and try to survive as well. so they do, they do a no excuse and actions. and anyway, the could be soldiers. that could be just regular civilians. that's quite unclear right now. but a lot of people are getting looted. yes. yeah. do you have any plans to, to leave the country entirely? we've seen, you know, over 20000 people head over the board as a chair. is that something that you were looking at doing at some stage soon? ah, we are thinking about that. we have been discussing it for a while. now we're studying our options and trying to see what's our best option in which our which roots are best to take. and when's the best time to actually, we're trying to use this 72 hour each time as best as we can because we heard a lot of international communities are trying to evacuate assistance within this time. and we're worried that any time afterwards would be quite difficult for us to, to try to move then thank you so much for your time. we really do hope that you

remains s. i thank you. that is had deal muhammad residence a just outside of cartoon. and he well, let's turn now to iran. the supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, has used his aid message to call for unity. that follows months of protests against government restrictions, including the mandatory wearing the he job l g 0 is dawson deborah has more from to run. it's something that he's been calling for many, many years. it's not anything new. but i think given the current climate in this country is in, it's something very, very important. the issue is, and the mandatory hedge of women have been protesting against for months is something the officials has gone back and forth on. and now they have started to put certain measures in place, including using the security cameras that are placed throughout the city to try and calm down on women who are not abiding by this law. this unity is an attempt to
12:24 pm
call for unity is an attempt by the supreme leader who is now 84 years old to try and rally the country together at a very tumultuous time at stretching that these divisions only provide an opportunity for outside countries who are trying to create unrest in iran to use them as an opportunity to do so. so i think it is something very important, but it's something the officials here will listen to certainly at a time when there is many, many divisions within the society itself. a paris court has sentence deliveries, canadian, profess, it's a life in prison, in absence here over in 1980 synagogue bombing us on the up has been the soul suspect in the attack. the killed 4 people and injured dozens, french authorities released him in 2018 to, to a lack of evidence against them. and 2021. a court of appeal overturned that decision, saying he should stand trial. after all,

12:29 pm
if it's you or an artificial voice, resemble a i says it has strict safeguards requires informed consent from speakers and has a digital watermark on its products for verification. rapid advances in voice cloning technology carry with them risks as well as the opportunity and raise questions about the nature of truth itself. ro, programmers could misuse the technology to disastrous effect. so now imagine you're a 14 year old and you've made some tick tock, videos. in which you've taught and somebody goes and grab those videos, calling your voice and then cause your parent and says, i have your daughter, send me a $100000.00 or we're going to kill her. and this is not hypothetical. in fact, it happened last week. bad actors could target elections, governments or big corporations. take your favorite, c e o. and i'm going to create a fake audio of them saying that their profits are down 20 percent and i'm going to
