a delegation. the rapids support forces not yet responded. tens of thousands of people have managed to flee the neighboring countries, like chad for many a forced to seek refuge wherever they can find it. malcolm web is an djibouti airport for us where thousands of people have arrived after fling, sudan, but 1st let's talk to him morgan. she's life for us in khartoum. so 1st of all, let's start with talk about talks. are these negotiations in south today. i'm coming together. well, it is supposed to be happening in the south in east capital, juba, but when we spoke to south sydney's officials, they say that they yet to re, to the rapid support for us as commander and hammered ham, dan des, gonna. now of course, this is not the 1st attempt to extend a ceasefire that is already fly faltering here in the capital, hot whom was fighting between the rapid support forces and the sidney's army in various parts of the country. but what is significant about this is that this time there will be talks a huge shift from what both sides were saying at,

during the beginning of the fighting. 15 days ago, the army commander labeled the iris have a criminal and disbanded and that if it is a dissolved paramilitary group and now they're rebels and that there will be no talks. that's the same statement we heard from the commander of the rapids of what forces that there will be no talks. but then we're still yet to hear. if the rapid suppose is support forces will agree after this proposal and the army said it's a tentative agreement. so they may back out of that to this is coming at a time as fighting continues, not only in the capital hard to him, but also in places like west dar, for an engine in out whether it has been heavy gunfire exchange between the 2 sides . since yesterday, and people in hot room already 1000 to suffer from the consequences of the fighting between the 2 sides. 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, and they will not be really suffering granules are closed and we cannot grind. our

stock of wheat must be commodities are absent. and if they are available, the prices are very high. last fall by robin living conditions are very dire for everyone. prices have sort, immediate 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 said, the, because of the situation is very with maybe if i were to go to school anyway, i need to save some. some people have managed to escape a both carrying 1600 citizens of 50 countries has docked in cheddar in saudi arabia . and benighted nations says at least 20000 people have arrived in chad. the number of those slang for them is expected to reach up to 200000 in the coming days. as more and more people try to find a way out,

those who remain behind say it's not only the deteriorating humanitarian conditions they're worried about. but also the security situation in the capital the weekend and meets escape from cobra to prison in the capital. a high profile detainee who served in former president omnibus years government announced he had left the prison. i am at heart on is wanted by the international criminal court on charges of crimes against humanity in dar for the army says this year is being held in a military hospital. the rapids support forces posted a video on social media thing. it had taken over a major oil refinery and power plant, about 70 kilometers from whenever we are in full control of the refinery. we believe in action not empty words. there's enough time for their nonsense. we control the majority of the country north, south, east and west. we have 200 percent control over sedan. despite this, the army says it's in control. why do you mean that the out the it is the pride of the sudanese army that we have not touched

a single facility or any infrastructure 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. 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 warrant of further suffering as long as the fighting continues. and reports talk about a security situation, which sounds like it's becoming even more chaos. it was happening while both sides, the rapid support forces and the sidney's army are accusing each other of robberies and assaults in various residential neighborhoods. now of course, we also know that there has been a prison break, not in only one prison in the capital hudson, but in all 5 prisons, leading to the release of more than $20000.00 inmates who are now roaming around the streets of hot soon. but people residence in various residential neighborhoods alter, reported that the iris have the rapid support forces,

half carried out assaults and robberies on many houses as well as many trade and commercial areas. so they all concerns about the security, the situation here in the capital, harder to him, the ministry of interior, which is responsible for the security and the police action and movements here in the capital says that they cannot carry out their work because the rapid support forces are now in charge of the ministry of interior building in the capital, in the hearts of the capital ha to them. so they say that their personnel were not be a, were not able to move. and that when they did try to act, they were shot at so this fighting between the rapid support forces and disabilities army is causing a breakdown in the security in the capital houghton. all right, thanks so much have a in khartoum was joined by a malcolm web. who's that djibouti airport. so malcolm, we understand some people all making their way to job booty. evacuation operations are being put together. how are they going?

what is right here on the market to be international for and in the neighboring ministry base, the people citizens, generally a wealthy nation, have been brought here by going to the side. you can take a look around. but these are government organizations to asian programs, which typically involve military aircraft flying from here to be, to call to me or other part wherever they could rely on the rescue citizens and bring them back here at cdc. and then to make their way back to their home countries from here using civilian airliners. it was initially diplomat work in the us, germany from italy, japan and some other countries. and then citizens of those countries in subsequently been brought here as well. now the reason that the hub for these kinds

of operation is because as a foreign military, the military power is not a host independent from french because your role in the 1970, posted the french military subsequently joined by the us, china, japan, italy, and other countries who have military operations bases here. that's the reason that off the past 3 here. but this is, as i mentioned, something that really benefited the government employees with some of the citizens of the wealthy nations who have the resources to be able to put on these kinds of operations that meanwhile, tens of 1000 of foreigners sudanese have been fleeing by land to sit on board as to the north, egypt to the city, to the south, south, the dawn, and west towards shots as well. but it's a long journey, isn't it?

more than 1600 kilometers in 2 countries to get from cartoon to your booty. you know, how accessible is that journey for people who for those who were lucky enough to benefit from one of those governments, the military organized evacuation program just a direct flight. it's 2 or 3 hours from car students to hear that. so the less fortunate ones who are playing by land, many of them say they've had to wait days just to be able to leave the building that they are in because of fighting. and then they traveled in boys together taken days to reach those borders with egypt here with the other naval i then that the, the lives again, of, of the well, the foreign countries some of benefit from vaccination programs and the neighboring

countries. but they're already comp, we've had forming of. 3 on the border with south saddam, for example, where south to denise, even living in the dawn as well as the, the people fleeing food on the accumulating desperate need of food, water and shelter. right. thanks so much malcolm web. there more people have arrived in gender, in saudi arabia, adding to the hundreds of already left using this route across the red sea, many of foreign nationals fleeing the fighting. china's foreign ministry spokeswoman mounting is given an update on the evacuation of chinese citizens from sedan sudan fashion. since the start of the armed conflict and saddam, we have been racing against the clock following the instructions of our central party committee and have done all we can to ensure the security of chinese citizens

. we've made thorough arrangements for the evacuation so far. $1300.00 plus chinese citizens happened safely evacuated some of late sudan on a chinese navy vessel. and some are on the way. leaving costume is difficult and dangerous. u. k. military planes have flown citizens out of an air base north of car tube. but it can take several hours to cover the 20 kilometers to the why the sit in the base. saudi arabia, in india, or among the countries which have evacuated people from port sedan. it's about $850.00 columns is or a 13 hour drive east of call to some are making the journey north to egypt. that's about 1000 kilometers attract from the capital. others are taking even longer route about 1500 kilometers west. so the border with chad and address is in a village near the chat sedan border. there are few, g is mainly women and children crossed over from sedans. therefore,

area into this part of charge. the united nations high commissioner for refugees say they have registered more than 4000 refugees in could ruin alone. and there are hundreds and hundreds more who are yet to be registered and do hope 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. there are no structures, no tense, and some of them are virtually living under trees. and they're telling us of the situation here is just for it. 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 would be distributed through

the refugees all across this particular region. what is not clear is what happens to the other refugees. port number in their hundreds were yet to be registered by the united nations agencies. or relief ages this year. now, when we plan the camera to decide this particular family has just received its own share of a grains. we can see it's like that's wheat and a few other stuff like cooking oil, pump 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 world foot program, is telling al jazeera that they have deployed, ah, a lot of food items that will teacher for only $20000.00 people. and the situation right now in this camp is that there it's packed more than $20000.00 people in the days to come. the united nation has projected between 120002 up 220-0000 people

posting from done into this part of charge. which means that the united nations and justice and other relief agencies need to step up the act in order to get all these refugees. ah, the us will send nuclear submarines to south korea as part of a new joint deterrents plan. that's in the face of threats from north korea. the announcement came during the 1st state visit to the us by south korean president and 12 years. joe biden told you and so pure that any nuclear attack by north korea would result in the end of the regime. yes, i'm here to refresh treaty is iron clad and that includes our commitment to extended to turns and. and that includes the nuclear threat,

nuclear deterrence. they are particularly important in the face of dpr cage, increased stretch, in a blatant violation of us sanctions. i mean, i'm going to kind of go, she's our countries have agreed to presidential consultations in the event of north korea's nuclear attack. and promise to response swiftly or whelming the and decisively using the full force of july and including the united states nuclear weapons. article b j kim is a professor of international relations at hancock university. he says, the agreement shows washington's commitment to defending south korea. message itself is clear. who knows, korea, they're going all the way out. even though you know, in those in south korea who have been demanding more, or this may have different opinions. those people who want the maximum of protection have been arguing for south korea's or nuclear armament. they say that will be the alternate solution. there will result everything here for them on the

commitment that came out of washington. this time may be slightly disappointing. below south korea's full nuclear armament. there were people who are asking for re deployment of tactical nuclear weapons here in korea for them also, what came out is slightly disappointing. there are the people who been asking for joint nuclear control over a u. s. nuclear weapons for them also what came out is slightly below their expectations. and also there are people who are pointing out that what nato god is joined. a planting planning group for nuclear weapons, use a job, do they call the nuclear planning group? that's what they have in nato, but here this time we south korea, it's a nuclear consultative group. and we take it as a something slightly weaker than nuclear planning. but so what came out today

at is not exactly the one that fully satisfies those south koreans that have been demanding for a stronger protection from united states against north korean nuclear threats. so i had an al jazeera, the president's of ukraine, and china have their 1st phone call since russia invaded last year at 95 percent drop in profits. one of the world's biggest electronics manufacturers. ah, the latest change in the weather which is coming in from the atlantic will be welcomed surprisingly, i think by the british isles, where it's been a cold spring so far. so as that rain and the is rain comes in is the wind directional change of b significance. any 30 degrees in london. as you can see. but london forecast lifts

the temperature to 18 when the rains gone through. we haven't seen 20 as far as i know in london, but we saw 23 last year. so it's been disappointing. and this is definitely improvement. now. elsewhere in europe, disappointing for most but not in spain unless you don't like the heat. this has been so extreme that we've broken local record and we're getting close to breaking the national record for april, which is 37.4. cordova may just hit that this is during friday now the bigger picture. further east, you've got that northerly breezes going out through ukraine and across the black sea, but between 8 and the incoming system. the subtle come out of it will feel a bit warmer, but it's disappointing in belgium, and germany have to say for friday that improves during saturday as well. now a brief word on that hot weather is come across, not from spain, but into morocco as well as marrakech at $41.00 would also be breaking a record for april or that's friday. it lawson saturday.

ah, jump into the stream hand percent of the population globally is responsible for about 15 percent of showing the debate. people have already lost that lying people . how close to that culture the people health conditions have your say, want to broaden this conversation by bringing more voices into it. live on you to people commenting. i want to go to know that chair, picky are not headed directly to you over through this with the powers that be. this is true on the al jazeera. ah ah,

welcome back. let's recap. i'll headlines now. a faltering seas far between sedans, army and the paramilitary rapid support forces is scheduled to end in a matter of hours. i gather is a regional african block. it's pushing to extend the true spice, 72 hours. tens of thousands of people have managed to flee sudan to neighboring countries like chad, the u. n. is warning over humanitarian crisis. border towns do not have enough food or temporary housing for refugees. the u. s. will send nuclear submarines to south korea as part of a deterrence plan and the face of threats from north korea. the announcement came during south korean president, you so fuels state visit to washington, ukrainian president of automated savanski, his name that you ambassador bay ging officer, a phone call with chinese leda. it was the 1st times that on ski and she ging ping

a stroke. and since russia invaded ukraine last year, savanski described the conversation as long and meaningful while she called for talks between moscow and ki iv joe now from by jing, by jessica washington. so the seems to have been a lot of reaction in the chinese media. why take us through all the messages here? who that's exactly right and suddenly as we would expect, this is front page news here in china. let me just talk you through what we heard a short while ago from the foreign ministry is that briefing was just held a few minutes ago. the message being that china will keep pushing for peace talks will keep playing a constructive role to solve the ukraine crisis. politically, suddenly reiterating the message that was conveyed late last night, that president, she's message to his ukranian counterpart, was that china stands on the side of peace. and if we take

a look at some of the newspapers here in china, the english language china daily as front page news that china will spect send a special envoy to ukraine as part of its efforts to have some rolling in coming up with a solution. and they also had an interesting editorial which was aimed at sort of refuting some of the commentary that questions or how can china have a role in, in, in any sort of peace talks when it maintains such close relations with russia. is editorial answer. just dispel those comments saying that in fact, that can be china's strength, that it is able to maintain a relationship with both ukraine and with russia. if we take a look at one of the other newspapers, the global chimes, this is a chinese language newspaper. if we take a close look, of course it's, it's also a front page news. and there's some interesting comments here from, from analysts here in china. who knows that china's recent diplomatic efforts not only this phone call, but also president. she's relationship with vladimir putin. a recent talks with the

french president as well, all of these cumulatively show that china is committed to, to the process, to helping the process of finding some sort of peaceful solution. there's also some interesting commentary in state media here that china is a country that doesn't have any selfish interest in this issue. and that's, it is a large country that isn't guided isn't even guided in this process by its own self interest. and so the narrative that we're seeing in state media is that china can very much play a role as this international peacemaker. it's a role that aging has, has long sought for itself and sort of dispelling any, any questioning of that narrative that might pop up in western media. all right, thanks so much. jessica washington, samsung electronics says, reported it's worth quarterly profits in 14 years. down 95 percent from

a year earlier, the south korean company says consumers spending last due to economic come certainty. it's also blaming the global downturn in semiconductor purchases. samsung is the world's largest manufacturer of memory chips. they used and everything from computers to smartphones. mach einstein is a telecom and digital enlist with ya, cooperation as a research and advisory firm, he says, samsung's losses are a post cobit hang over. times are tough, inflation is high, but i also think that this was fairly expected. um, we're in a post cupboard hang over where a lot of people had bought a equipment for a home office and remote work, and now they're not buying it. so i, you know, apple's having the same problem selling macbook so wow, it is

a shocking number. i would say this was actually somewhat expected samsung, an apple r to a degree, a victim of their own success. i mean, smartphones are more expensive than they've ever been, but they're also lasting longer than they've ever been dave or how. and so i think that you know, the replacement cycle and all that his, his completely changed compared to 10 years ago. so i think that we are looking at a brave new world in terms of how consumers are purchase of consumer devices and, and how often they can purchase consumer devices. if we look at the long term demand for semiconductors, for smart devices, it continues to go up and up and up in it and it will for the next 10 to 20 years easily. so i think that we're kind of in the dregs of the market, but it will most certainly rebound in the next few quarters. i'm british regulators of blocked microsoft. $69000000000.00 deal to buy video game maker activision

blizzard. the competition and markets authority says the acquisition would have stifled competition in the cloud gaming market. the all cash deal was set to give microsoft control of popular game franchises like call of duty and candy crush regulators in the u. s. and e. you are also scrutinizing the agreement. part of what's been very interesting about this whole debate is the thing you bring up cloud gaming. it's actually a little different from what we usually think of right normally when you think of video games, you think of a controller and a console plugged into a tv, or maybe a computer and being able to play your games that way or maybe on your phone wow, gaming is kind of like netflix, right? the whole idea is that the very power for computer is somewhere else and it's streaming the video to your home and you're able to play interactively with the game. this is something that's very nascent, it's been around for many years, but no company's been able to really figure it out. but it's believed broadly to be

the future of where video games are going, which is why the competition market authority is worried about it. the us house of representatives is voted to pass a bill, raising the nation's debt ceiling to $31.00 trillion dollars. republican legislation as conditions aimed the limits in government spending, where they now goes to the senate for approval. president joe biden has already threatened to veto it, bounce agreement. the us credit rating could be downgraded, which would increase the cost of borrowing. while disney company is suing florida, governor, run the census accusing the republican of political retaliation once the court to overturn the state takeover of the district houses its amusement parks. earlier, disney had govern the area company says it's being targeted for expressing political views that the census oppose it. last year, disney criticize the florida law,

the ban discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity and freedom. peruse, guffman is declared a state of emergency at its borders. the stop undocumented migrants from entering president dana block. they ordered the deployment of troops to reinforce immigration. checkpoints. i know hundreds of migrants have in stock for weeks at the border between you and know me to lay logs me from haiti and venezuela, a cracked sound in moot forced him to move north migrant say they're trying to make their way back home or continue further north to the united states. ok name off, i'm call. i'm a look at it. we don't want bread. we don't want jews. we want across to venezuela . let us cross please. i have 3 children. are being forced to reduce the flow shipping through the panama canal. nice because of drought, the left,

the water low in the to artificial legs that serve the canal. about 6 percent of global shipping passes through the water the way it at the annual fuel. i knew him this year has been the hardest they have seen in terms of drought. it has been difficult for the fishermen for the locals because those who bring their cargo across the lake have to carry it on their shoulders. i will in the low states, the drinking, what is the 1st responsibility then comes a commercial activity. and so there is a balance. the canal administration works to maintain commercial activity and comply with a social responsibility such as drinking water. ah, let's take you through some of the headlines here now to sierra now, a faltering seas, 5 between sedans, army and the power of military rapids support forces is scheduled to end in the matter of aus. i gathered all is a regional african block. it's pushing to extend the truth.
