aah! al jazeera f o hope's she dons shaky cease fire will be extended by another 3 days after the army says it's initially accepted a diplomatic initiative from african trade block e get thousands more foreigners take advantage of a lull and fighting to flee the country by c l road, while many sudanese had for chat. ah,

lauren taylor, this is our 0 live from london, also coming up ukraine's president name's a new ambassador to beijing after a long phone call with shing ping. a fast talks says russia invaded his country, jailed russian opposition leader like say, nevada. he says he's facing terrorism charges, which could see him locked away for up to 35 years. and the u. s. and south korean president, sunbale and nuclear deterrence plan in response to threats, find north korea ah hello with a conflict in how to met now and it's 12 day. there is some hope. the present ceasefire could be extended by 72 hours. the temporary cessation of hostilities is chanel to end on thursday. the proposal was made by the african trade block eguard,

the army chief general abdel festival hon has given initial approval to send an envoy to the south sudanese capital juba talks the rapids support forces have yet to comment. officially, the sudanese health ministry said on wednesday that 512 people have now been killed and nearly 4200 injured in the fighting. our teams health system is close to non existent, the world health organization. so 61 percent of health facilities in the capital are closed and only 16 percent are operating as normal. as you can leave a getting out or the 10000 people have crossed into egypt in the past 5 days. and about 20000 have entered chad. morgan is in the sudanese capital, how to me with more on the news he's furnished, if well it seems different than the other sci fi initiatives in a sense that it was mediated by the regional by the eguard. and his includes sending envoys to the south in east capital, juba. now the question is,

will that cease fire hold? because many residents around the capitol hotel in various parts were able to heavy to hear heavy artillery during the previous cease fires. and so they believed that there was no way for them to leave the capital, or to be able to get out of their homes to get basic necessities. so it really comes down to the issue of implementation. both sides have repeatedly stated that they will commit to any cease fire that they agree to as long as the other sides do not perform any military activities and do not attack the other. so it's not clear yet. if this is fire, which is due to thought after the current one ends on thursday, also will hold or not. now again, the only difference is this time the 2 sides, or rather, the sudanese army has agreed to talk. it's a vast shift from what the army general said at the beginning of the fighting 12 days ago when he said that he will not be negotiating with the rapid support forces and declared it a rebel group. this is of course, a car coming in light of did a dire him in his hair and situation here in the capitol cartoon and around the country with people trying to leave. and others caught up here in the capital

houghton. the humanitarian situation in sudan has been deteriorating rapidly since violence broke out 12 days ago. people say they're running out of food, water and medicine, burn novilla her go 9. we're really suffering. green mills are closed and we cannot grind our stock of wheat. most basic commodities are absent and if they're available to prices are very high. iowa robin living conditions are very dire for every one. prices have sword. images of transportation almost gone. people are really suffering. it's not only sudanese, these are hunger, refugees, fled persecution in man mar. they now find themselves in the middle of another conflict with the surgeon. because your suggestion is good with lindsey clayton, who to go through were new school or anywhere new to sib some. some people have managed to escape a boat carrying 1600 citizens of 50 countries has docs in cheddar,

in saudi arabia. and they knighted nation says at least 20000 people have arrived in chad. the number of those fling sedan is expected to reach up to 200000 in the coming days. as more and more people tried to find a way out, those who remain behind say it's not only the deteriorating humanitarian conditions they are worried about. but also the security situation in the capital no longer at the weekend inmates escape from cobra to prison in the capital, a high profile, detaining who served in former president, almond bas years. government announced he had left the prism. i am a thought on is wanted by the international criminal court on charges of crimes against humanity ins are for the army says bashir is being held in a military hospital. the rapid support forces posted a video on social media thing. it had taken over a major oil refinery and power plant, about 70 kilometers from horton. we're in a world. we are in full control of the refinery. we believe in action, not empty words. this is not the time for their nonsense. we control the majority

of the country north, south, east and west. we have 200 percent control over saddam will. despite this, the army says it's in control. wagner and other yagi. it is the pride of the sudanese army that we have not touched a single facility or any infrastructure. it is the rapid support forces that destroyed them. this war will come to an end very soon and you will listen to the final statement and all of the main facilities are operational. and in order including the electricity and water supplies, the united nation says there is no sign the wearing parties are ready to negotiate and has weren't of further suffering as long as the fighting continues. he but morgan al jazeera houghton. in the last i spoke to south sedans, acting foreign minister. dang dow. he says regional leaders must bring the warring factions to the negotiations. we have not yet received confirmation from because the communication sometime they're going to be late. we have sent

lisa request for some to be sent across the board or getting a message or a good communication to some type of but it is what's your understanding of how this would work? so if the 2 signs do agree to send representatives, what sort of format would these talks take? one person for all of you to see the except the, the idea that the subsystem discussed work and broke out. but then you would have to sit down and discuss the issues that led to the water. some fuel is now very scarce in the capital out. there is how a delta eb has more from petrol station in the south of how to low. melissa

martinez. fuel represents the sum of all crises had in the south and the southern parts of how to form most fuel stations like this one behind me, cause shop tanks out empty and the station is out of cells. i'm getting your hands on fuel, in general, as extremely difficult with the gas cause than increase in the prices of transport and food. this is one of the major fuel stations on august 15th street, which has closed it, stored since the fight in the sorting oil prices has impacted every aspect in life on capitol. it's affected, the evacuation operations and even the movement of misplaced people. price of food imported from outside the capital is also in fact, i thought this crisis will get worse if fuel is made available soon. some people have taken advantage and are selling fuel on with black market at higher prices. for example, a gallon new fuel has gone from force to denny's pounds. it's about 8 years dollars to $40000.00, which is about 80 us dollars,

and is expected to rise even more yet. so that is a high price that many people can't afford, that we spoke to groceries, thorne's butcher's, and other shopkeepers. they are struggling to get still. the most movement is crippled, as many cars have run out of fuel. that is why i described it as the sum of oil crises, where thousands of people have left see done. these for students are stuck inside are 2 and a pleading for health. this is an appeal by the many students in sudan to charity and relieve organizations. and to benevolent business men, we are living under the brunt of shelling and gunfire. helpless and defenceless. we are left with no options as we have sent similar messages to our government. as you can see, how many students are left without shelter, we're almost like 3 days with more than these were lie with them. on leaving how to miss it,

difficult and dangerous mission, the u. k. is flown hundreds of people out from the military air base north of hutton, but it can take several hours to travel 20 kilometers from the capital to the what he said. now base saudi arabia and india are among the countries that have evacuated people from ports you done some 850 kilometers or a 13 hour drive east of cutting summer, making the treacherous journey to the border with egypt and journey about a 1000 kilometers or others are going even further about 1500 kilometers west to the border with chad. i mean this is with refugees on that border. refugees, mainly women and children crossed over from sedans, da, 4 area into this part of charge. the united nations high commissioner for refugees say they have registered more than $4000.00 refugees and could run alone under a hundreds and hundreds more. who are yet to be registered and build up to accomplish that in the past in the next few days. now what the,

the situation here in this particular camp is desperate. none of the refugees have any permanent structure over their head that are not structures, nor tense. and some of them are virtually living under trees. and the terming as of the situation here is desperate. a lot of them say they haven't eaten over the past few days. now on this particular day, the united nations and it's agencies deployed to this particular area to see the situation for itself. it brought along tons and tons of food items to be distributed to the refugees. and what, let me show you in particular, what's there for, for them? now these are sacs of grains rise as well as oil that will be distributed to the refugees all across this particular region. what is not clear is what happens to the other refugees, port number in their hundreds. why yet to be registered by the united nations agencies? or relief ages this year. now, when we pan the camera to the site, this particular family has just received its own share of grains. we can see it's

like that's wheat and a few job stuff like cooking oil, palm oil, grounded oil. so flour that could help the family get along until such a time that things improve in this particular camp. now, the united nation, the wolford program, is telling al jazeera that they have deployed, ah, a lot of food items that will take, therefore only $20000.00 people. and the situation right now in this camp is that there are, it's put to more than $20000.00 people in the days to come. the united nations has projected between 120002 up 220-0000 people crossing from so done into this part of china. which means that the united nations and its agencies and other relief ages neatest tip step up their act in order to care for these refugees. ah,

chinese president, changing pain is appealed for negotiations between moscow and keep in a phone call with ukrainian president of little miss lensky, is the 1st time that he has spoken since russia invasion of ukraine. last year. hasn't lensky described the conversation as long and meaningful? in february, the chinese government, when easter peace proposals for ending the war, which occurred at calling for a cease fire and talks. china has tried to appear natural in the con, but is refused to criticize rushes invasion. cha, stratford has more from keith. we are still a long way off in certainly a new crane, and amongst many of ukraine's western backers, out of china being seen as an honest, neutral arbiter in potentially trying to bring a lasting piece to this crisis. interestingly, we've had already comment from zalinski on his telegram channel, and he said that there was no peace would be found at the expense of territorial

compromise. he said no one wants peace more than the ukrainian people we on our land and we are fighting for our future. and interestingly, he said that during this conversation, particular attention had been page 2 ways of possible interaction with the aim of establishing a just unstable piece. now of course, china has put together a 12 point so called piece of land that was made public in february. and zalinski was very quick to denounce that, not calling it a plan in any way towards peace. it's all to do with territories still of ukrainians. sellnicki repeatedly says that until russia withdrawals from all the occupied lands including crimea, he is not prepared to sit down, at least with the russians, and talk about a lasting solution. jailed, rushing opposition, need an accent. valley says he faces new extremism and terrorism charges. it could

keep him behind bars for up to 35 years. he was in court on wednesday in the early stages of a new trial on extremism charges, a case he has called absurd is already serving 11 years in a maximum security prison, or to being convicted of fraud and contempt of court. he says all charges against him are politically motivated around me was taken to hospital earlier this month with acute stomach pains his spokesperson saying she could not rule out. poisoning as the cause dash oval over has more from esco the hearing was held behind closed doors, arrows close to the media of course. because when i restricted until may the 5th for reviewing the 196 volumes of the new case under the article called extremism. so just 10 days to review the nation, 196 volumes of his new case. according to his team,

decades of military cooperation between the 2 nations project deterrence, in the face of stepped up missile testing by north korea. that has in recent years shown little interest in talks of d nuclear. i zation more nuclear term, barnard cru against united states hotel. ours are partisans, partners is unacceptable and will result in the end of whatever regime will take such an action. the 2 leaders signed a new plan known as the washington declaration to expand nuclear deterrence in the region through joint exercises. even though south korea is officially a non proliferation country. for the 1st time and 40 years us nuclear submarines will be positioned in south korea. as part of the declaration for its part,

soul has committed to not developing its own nuclear weapon instead remaining under the nuclear umbrella of the united states. and while the 2 leaders insist their alliance is strong, there are lingering tensions following the unintended release. earlier this month of pentagon documents showing the united states was spying on sole. i would, we need time to wait for the investigation by the united states and we plan to continue to communicate on the matter. at their joint rose garden press conference just one day after announcing he was running for reelection fighting, also dodge questions about his age. going into the 2024 presidential election at age 80. he's the oldest president in us history to run for a 2nd term. hard look at it before i decided to run. and i feel good and i feel excited about the prospects president biden may dismiss questions about his age and

fitness. as commander in chief, it does present their problem for the white house hoping to project strength to deter as to a nuclear foe of reassuring american allies like south korea. kimberly, how can al jazeera, the white house republicans in the us house of representatives of pastor bill would raise the government's $31.00 trillion dollar debt ceiling by another one and a half trillion. in exchange for a steep spending restrictions president, joe barton had 1st and to veto the republican legislation, saying the debt ceiling must be lifted with no strings to ensure the country pays its bills. my kind of joyce's life in washington dc. so tell us what this bill is all about. well, it wasn't the end of gamble by the house speaker, kevin mccarthy wasn't sure that he had the requisite number of votes given the republican slim majority in the house. but he put the bow on the floor. any way, and he managed to get it pass by the slimmest of margins,

a mere 3 votes. what this means is that it's a tactical decree for kevin mccarthy. he's proved that he has control of a very desperate republican block within the house. and he's laying down a challenge to president biden, to enter talks about the budget in the coming months. now this bill will be dead on arrival in the senate to the democrats who control the senate have already said that they will reject this bill at the same time as i said, it represents a tactical victory by the house speaker, and is also what is likely to be the 1st salvo in an ongoing debate about how to deal with that looming debt ceiling crisis. what if you say it is dead on arrival in the democratic senate while the foss? well, essentially it appears that the house speaker is using this as a leverage to attempt to get president biden, to the negotiating table,

to have republican involvement in the budget of the country and our president biden . and his advisors has made absolutely clear that he is not going to discuss measures to agree to raise the debt ceiling. he says he's willing to discuss future budgets, but point south that all of the budgets have been already been approved, which constitute the sum that makes up that particular debt ceiling or could push it over the ceiling. so you now have a dilemma, been the white house biden saying he's refusing to discuss the matter. mccarthy, by getting this vote pass through the chamber is raising the pressure on president biden and his advisors to come to the table. so it's going to be a tense few weeks and indeed, months in the united states as this to and fro continues with the dominant republican house attempting to push the president and negotiating table at the same time, a threatening to disrupt his past to legislative successes,

such as energy tax concessions, for example. so in this bill as well, you do have a massive gutting of president biden's as changes within the last years of his position as president. and certainly it's for this reason alone or that president biden will not negotiate. he insist that the debt ceiling should be raised with no concessions being made, just as it was on at least 3 occasions when president trump was in power. my can a thank you very much, need shares of 1st republic bank continued to plunge on wednesday. the 5th that it could be the next us bank to collapse the san francisco based lenders, stock price commented more than 20 percent in morning trade and came a day off to the price, sag nearly 50 percent on use deposits as withdrew at least $100000000000.00 in the 1st quarter, last month's collapse. so silicon valley bank and signature bank cause the biggest crisis of confidence in the banking sector. since the 2008 financial crisis.

gabriel is under has more from new york on the situation. first republic bank finds itself in what's really bad. the bank is essentially collapsing and we're seeing that in their stock price number $1.00, it's dropped to over 20 percent. on wednesday it's dropped 50 percent on tuesday. and for the year it's down over 90 percent. and just looking at the market capitalization of the, of the bank, it was at $40000000000.00 in late 2021. now the market cap for 1st republic bank is $886000000.00. so just shows you how much the bank has lost in a very short amount of time. and these losses are compounding now. with the fact that there's reporting that apparently the federal government does not plan to bail out the bank in any further manner. already the banks received about $30000000000.00 is

a prop up from 11 of the biggest banks in the united states to try to prop the bank up. but beyond that, it looks like the 1st republic bank will be sort of on its own to wade through these tough times. you ends, new special representative for haiti has warned that a shocking increase in gang violence is inflicting terror on the country's population. maria isabel, salvatore told the security council that more than $1600.00 violent crimes were reported in the 1st 3 months of this year. up from just on the 700, in the same period last year, and could murders rapes, kidnappings and lynchings a day earlier, a crowd in the capital porter press beat and burnt. 13 suspected gang members to death. young violence is expanding at an alarming rate. in areas, briefly considered relatively safe in border brands and outside the capitol. the horrific violence in gun ridden areas including sexual violence, but

t calorie against women and girls is emblematic of the terror afflicting much of hate this population. for sales, former prisoners, i have also narrow as testified to federal police as part of an investigation into post election riots. in january, thousands of his supporters attacked government buildings after he lost the presidential vote. hundreds of them are expected to stand trial or to narrow left the country after his defeat and were staying in orlando, florida. during the attacks he denied any involvement in them. ah, watching over there are, these are the top stories she dans army chief general abdel fat elbow han has given initial approval to a proposal. i the african trade block eguard to extend the 3 day seas foreign sudan by another 72 hours. he also agreed to send an army representative to juba to

negotiate the initial.
