11:05 am
still not materializing. what is the latest on the fighting? while the rapid support forces accused the denise army of farming physicians in the northern parts of the capital to him, that's the theme of intern finding between the rapid support forces and the army on saturday. and they have been direct confrontations between them on saturday as well . but it's largely been arterial artillery strikes and area boom, bartman. so far in the northern part of the capital residence in the western part of on demand that the twins to your heart to him also reported that they've been in terms artillery strikes and shillings around the neighbourhood. forcing them to stay at home and seek shelter. where they can and for safety and cover. now there are also tribes happening around the vicinity of the presidential palace. that's the location where he was fighting has been ongoing between the r f, f and the army. even though it has not been direct up to this point, it's the 9th day of the fighting. but so far,
11:06 am
the fighting around the palace has been restricted to artillery strikes and aerial bombardment by the food in these army. this is causing many residents here to to be concerned. they were hoping that they would get some kind of reprieve. just like overnight that there was some kind of quietness. and they were hoping that it would go on through the day the, the 3rd day of the si, fi, now. that has not been holding up. but many say that because of the artillery strikes the big here because of the found of the 5 digit and the anton of planes that they can hear overhead. they're still not able to leave their homes to get basic necessities, or to try to find their way out of the capital. well, this is exactly what i wanted to ask you. how is this fighting which is going on right inside the capital city, right? in people's neighborhoods, how is this affecting people's day to day lives? how are they able to access food water? we know there's been internet blackouts and lack of access to water and so on. can you tell us what the situation is on the ground? while people say that they're scared, but it's a good s traffic situation, it's
11:07 am
a situation they never have to go through before. this is the 1st time a conflict incident is actually reaching big capital her to many of them don't have the shelter. they're looking for places in their homes far away from doors and windows and walls. so if they do not collapse from them, should the shelling had their homes? many of them say that the shops around their residential neighborhoods are close. they don't, they can't find places to buy water. they can find a place to buy basic necessities food that they would need to keep them alive for the coming days. then there's the issue of the power outage is going on to find they in many residential areas. so people say that they are very uncertain of what's happening on the ground. they're waiting for their relatives and their neighbors to tell them which was the safe route out of those residential neighborhoods so that they can take those routes as well. but the situation has been very fluid in many, many areas. one minute it would be the sudanese army under control and then the other. it would be the rapid support forces. so people are waiting to see when is back safe window for them to be able to leave their homes. whether it's for basic
11:08 am
commodities or to be able to leave the capital completely. but they all say that they're very frightened, that the situation is dire, and that they're waiting for this to calm down so that they can get what they really need at the moment. and foreign residents, i believe, have started to leave. i know the u. s. embassy has managed, evacuated stuff. what is the latest on foreign governments evacuating their staff and their citizens while the u. s. embassy evacuated their diplomats. there are still some americans who are here in the country still caught up in areas of fighting, unable to get to the safe area so that they can be evacuated with the rest of the convoy. the united nations at agencies here in the country have also pocket evacuations via the eastern city of port dan. that's where they will be heading to throughout the day until they make it better, and then they'll be evacuated from upwards down. that's a place where there's been no fighting between the rapid support. 4th is amber food in these army. but then again, there's still foreign nationals trapped in many, many parts of the capital. hard to me. then there before national,
11:09 am
who had trapped in the states. they have, there have been places where there is no finding, but many of them say they can't make it to port sedan because they have to go through her to them. and so they are concerned about those who are trapped in other states as well. okay, many thanks for your reporting, hipaa. morgan, that 1st live in cartoon, james moran has served as you ambassador in the gulf and in north africa. he's experienced evacuations. in libya, he says the situation in comp to imposes an even bigger challenge to diplomatic missions. so the 1st project is to make sure that your, your staff will be safe as you move them from one place to another. in the case of libya, some years ago when i was involved. and it was pretty catastrophic, but in a sense, not quite as serious as the situation and cartoon in so far as that everybody was on the coast. and it was possible to use ships get people out. and there was
11:10 am
a lot of coordination between european embassies, the u. s. and china to put a big role back then in getting the citizens and diplomats out of the country. situation cartoons, obviously very different. it's a long way from the coast. and you have anarchy raining in the town. so securing that airport and making sure that the wrong way is good enough to allow a military place. and i think it will be a better place to be used in most cases to get people out doing that barrier to number one. so you're going to have to depend here primarily on it. as we know, the airport is not secure right now. no wonder that the americans and others are skeptical about getting their people out right now until and unless that airport security does have, i was mentioning earlier, people in cities around the capital at all. so on to see each one family in on demand, which is just across the nile river from cartoon is in morning after the eldest son was killed when shells hit their apartment building. they say the man was in bed at
11:11 am
the time. another person was also injured. the reason i didn't, sheila done. he used to help the people in need and support the helpless and now we lost him. he died in his back. he was hit in his bed and after the shell hit him, i went to the room and disrupt was in the back level where i think, well, what, what it was layer level. i think i said to what i have doing on my body. and i couldn't stand up, but god helped me. many shells came into my room and i can make it hit the room and came through the window and broke it. i was lying in bed and when i stood up, i fell to the ground. i will talk to say the fighting has created what they call a catastrophic situation. many hospitals have closed as they don't have the personnel to keep operating. for the account, reports me, yusef was brought to undermine hospital last week. he wasn't involved in the fighting between the army and power military, rapid support forces,
11:12 am
but he's one of its many casualties. i arrived here during the month of ramadan. i can no longer work or move easily. i was hit by a stray bullet. i don't know from which direction i came across the room. solomon describe the severe wounds he suffered from bullets and shrapnel and some of them i was hit twice and fell to the ground. i was hit in my hand and in my left side, i was brought to the hospital. thank god almighty, because now i'm ok. dozens of sick and wounded people have come here to the undermanned teaching hospital. but it's struggling to cope. fighting has prevented staff from reaching the facility. it's now operating at just 20 percent capacity. there is a huge shortage of medical personnel. those who are now treating the sick and the wounded or the medical staff who arrived at the hospital last saturday and there is no longer any way to bring other medical staff from their homes or air. yes to the hospital here. of course,
11:13 am
the doctors and nurses who have been here since last saturday are completely exhausted. oh, the sudanese doctor syndicate says about 70 percent of hospitals close to the fighting of hockey. shaw, and that ambulances have come under attack. sedans health system was already in crisis before the fighting, medics or warning did no risks collapse just as people needed the most. pretty a car. ology 0 ah was bring you some of the news to seek separatist leader from the northern indian state of punjab has been arrested off to man hunt that last more than a month. i'm with paul sing rose to prominence earlier this year with his call for the creation of a separate seek homeland sing and his supporters waited a police station in punjab back in february after one of his aids was arrested.
11:14 am
people then trying to rest sing, but he escaped on a motorbike. sanjay come pour is a journalist on the editor of hon needs magazine. he says things detention has increased tensions in the already unstable punjab state. it didn't really create the kind of tension that whoever was behind and really expected. in fact, in punjab itself, there was a great demand and the people there that nothing should be done to upset the piece that had to turn to this very, you know, stayed, which has been experiencing great them under the double and all these years. so they didn't want to mr. polishing to do anything more than what has what he had done and in a certain way didn't really cause a tell margaret just expected of his us now is significant because he is going to be taken to the northeast. the state of psalm, and that is where he will be interrogated, is rather strange that he was allowed to carry on for about $36.00 days. there were
11:15 am
video that used to come on tv showing him that he used in some mother died or the other used to sometime there were some clothes he would go around on a more bike. so it's all very, very strange how he's phenomenal is built up and subsequently how he's been arrested at least 9 people have been killed in an attack on a military camp and nearby houses in central. molly, 3 simultaneous explosions hit the city of subway on saturday. molly's army says it killed $28.00 attackers during the incident. a un peacekeeping for says it help repelled the assault film on al jazeera, me, i'm heidi joe castro in a city known as a green energy innovator. can other cities follow in his path? ah, the
