capital and out of the country safely. some foreign nationals have already been evacuated. saudi arabia, for example, was able to evacuate as nationals by the east. then. costello port of port port, city of port sudan, and then on towards to saudi arabia, other foreign nationals like hungary was able to evacuate at citizens via egypt, along with other foreign nationals as well. this is all as fighting continues in the capital in various residential districts in how to north residency. they can hear heavy artillery and they can witness direct confrontation between the sudanese army and the rapid support for the report. support forces along one of the main roads in the northern part of the capitol. same situation in the east intense fighting between the 2 sides. now when it comes to the vicinity of the general command, there has been no direct confrontation, but heavy artillery. if i can be heard as well as airstrikes and aeroplanes flying over the vicinity of the general command and the presidential palace. so it looks like, while the evacuation is being planned, many people still don't know how they'll be able to make their way safely to get on

2:07 pm
the fuel dipper has been damaged. so it's not clear if plans will be able to land on the wrong way to evacuate their nationals. okay. and, and with his ongoing fighting, has there been any opportunity at all to get supplies into the city? well people are not focusing on stocking up on supplies at the moment because of the situation over the past 7 days. most of the people who are able to venture out of their homes are counting routes to be able to get out of the capitol. many residential areas have been without power for 7 days now without running water. and there's so many people who've been injured but have no access to medical assistance because many hospitals have been shelled or because they have been evacuated due to the ongoing fighting around their vicinities. so people say that they look out for a brief flows in between fighting to be able to get their family out of the capital . fortune to safer places. places like jazz, eda in the central part of the country or river nile. the focus right now is on survival, but many se, if they get the chance, believe the capital instead of sucking up on basic commodities. ok, thank you so much, that have been morgan for us. and cartoon dahlia mohammed,

2:09 pm
there's nothing to hold them back to, you know, keep them in check. so our fear is that the fighting will intensify. and that's why overnight the, i've been getting several reports from people who know people are evacuating, they're leaving the country. those who can are leaving, going know, going either to egypt mostly to egypt or to or, and those who can't or, or have limited means. i fling to other cities within, within to don like, don't let any of our, if and so on. but the fear is that the fighting will spread even to those cookies as well. and then we don't know what's going to happen, but it doesn't bode well. ah, the military camp and central molly has been attacked. it happened in the early hours of saturday and savari and the gal region, hundreds of you in peace, keep his stations in the area. no group has claimed responsibility becomes dies

such thing as a sustainable fashion industry right now. the industry itself is quite fundamentally broken, but it's very difficult to say if this product is trudy sustainable and they're all, they're all brand out there that really are doing the work. and that really are trustworthy. most of the time it's an allusion. he says, wearing use close is the most sustainable. although as prices increase, vintage items aren't available to everyone. the main thing is to, to where the pieces you have love them until you know, maybe they fall apart and, and repair them. and if they don't fit anymore, change them. this will require a change in mindset for those fashion lovers who feel the need to. we are something different every day. steadfast and al jazeera, berlin, l mcclay is a ceo of better cotton and n g o that promotes better standards in cotton farming. he says the industry has the potential to be environmentally friendly. and she looked down. you're probably wearing caution. nearly everyone in the world wears or uses costs on a daily basis,
