8:07 pm
and they're trying to live with the situation. but many of them say that they're in desperate need of water. they're in desperate need of electricity. but most of all, they're in desperate need of medical assistance because they do have people who are injured. but hospitals have gone out of operations due to ongoing fighting. and artillery strikes on medical facilities. while the un secretary general has warned that the violence in sudan could engulf the whole region. speaking at a security council meeting antonio terrace, urge members to help pull the country back from catastrophe. used to started fighting on 15th april. and that is what people had been killed and thousands injured. the violence must stop it, risks of catastrophic conflagration with him. so done that with him golf, the all region and beyond. i strongly condemned in this commitment boardman of civilian areas, including healthcare facilities. and they call on the part of his to stop combat operations in densely populated areas and to allow and either the military naval operations more now and what the terrace had to say without implementing editor
8:08 pm
jasmine joining us from the u. n. james yard. the un secretary general making it clear, even though they've had to relocate many of their personnel that we don't have exact numbers. we think about 700. a people have left cartoon and have gone to port sudan. he says, the u. n will not be leaving, sudan, it will continue to have our operation there. they're not going to abandon the country. what i understand from speaking to you and officials is that they will take some of their staff outside sedan and let them work remotely from beyond the countries borders. but they're going to keep a hub. and currently they think that plan is for that hub to be located in the main c port of sudan on the red sea coast port sedan. and that's where the you ends a special representative. the head of their mission of all cooper's will lead a small hob because they need to have people in the country they say,
8:09 pm
because of the huge humanitarian operation that is carried out in sudan, which clearly now is even more needed because of the, the way the conflict has affected people's ability to get food and other basic services. yeah, james and also that un security council meeting was chaired by russia. and we also heard from the russian for a minister, so elaborate. what did he have to say? he, a russia is the president of the security council in this months. and russia has decided to hold a debate on multilateralism and the defense of the un charter. now this has been attacked by some other ambassadors, a cynical, because they say the one country that is not upholding the un charter. one of its basic tenants is russia by invading ukraine. and we've had very different world views that we've seen from some of those western ambassadors. for example, the u. s. ambassador to the united nations been to thomas greenfield,
8:10 pm
and from the russian ambassador currently presiding over the security council. let's just listen to some of their woods. russia. the convenor of today's meeting, invaded his neighbors in ukraine and struck at the heart of the un charter and russia. time and time again has violated universal human rights and fundamental freedoms both outside and inside its own borders. that includes arbitrarily detaining political activists, journalists, and opposition leaders, as well as the wrongful detention of american citizens. was a mcculloch moving mister cook good followed me, wearing the distinguished colleagues that she's just like in the years of the cold war. we have reached a dangerous possibly even more dangerous threshold. but the situation is worse and with the loss of trust and multilateralism. when the financial economic, aggression of the west is destroying the benefits of globalization,
8:11 pm
when the us and its allies are abandoning diplomacy and demanding to sort out differences on the battlefield. all this is happening within the halls of the un, which was created to prevent the horrors of war. he was already so real drama in the security council we've seen as this meeting has been taken place, but away from the cameras. arguably, another meeting is just as important and that some meeting between the un secretary general antonio terrace, and mr. lab roth and among the many issues are discussed there at the perhaps the most important one is the future of the black sea grain initiative. you remember that deal to get grain out of ukraine and get to world markets also to get russian food and fertilizer to world markets while russia does not believe that the 2nd part of that deal is benefiting russia. it believes that ukraine is doing well at this deal, and russia is not. and there is real speculation, and it's coming from many russian officials. i've spoken to mr. lab, ross spokesman, i also recently spoke to the deputy foreign minister of russia. they are very
8:12 pm
negative about this deal, and there is highly high possibility. i think you and officials believe that russia might terminate the deal. and that of course, could further worse than the global food crisis. so a pretty important make or break, eating behind closed doors to all right, james, he'll keep us across the story. thank you. our diplomatic editor, james base reporting from the un while the u. s. secretary of state, anton, and lincoln as meeting kenny as foreign affairs minister alfred me to our with sudan, top of the agenda. both men had been pressing military leaders own cartoon to renew and expand a recent cease fire. we have been in touch repeatedly throughout this. this crisis with a, with a variety of i've spoken directly to counterparts in saudi arabia, in the united arab emirates, other members of our team of spoken to, to egypt. and other countries, the united kingdom, all to the same end, which is trying to get
8:13 pm
a cease fire trying to get more sustainable cessation of hostilities and then trying to get the country back on track to the transition to a civilian government that it was on before the violence that erupted derailed that effort, rosin. jordan has more from the state department in washington. the situation is this back in august of 2021. the u. s. government put out her travel warning for sudan. basically telling americans don't go and if you do, you're taking a lot of chances with your life, if you do so, primarily from the threat of terrorist activity from the threat of kidnapping from local political violence. obviously the situation in the past 9 or 10 days has a really made things very much of top concern. so much so that on saturday, the u. s. government evacuated some 70 or so. diplomats and other officials working at the embassy and cartoon. and the embassy is now closed for the foreseeable
8:14 pm
future. now that said, the u. s. is aware of several dozen american citizens who are inside sudan, who are saying that they want to leave. it's going to be very difficult to try to get them out because the airport is still closed and trying to travel over roads is in itself a very dangerous operation. there have been attacks on convoys and people have been killed. that said, the u. s. government is going to try to work with these u. s. citizens to try to get them out safely. as quickly as can be done. there's been a block that a police headquarters in northern pakistan. it happened in the swat district that area used to be stronghold of the pakistani taliban. come on. hi, there is joining us from islam about so how big was that explosion, andrew? and what's the latest that told him all when, according to the report, there were 2 explosions and the reports indicate that the rules of the counter
