citizens out intense fighting is taking place near the army headquarters and presidential palace in hot tomb. as the conflict between the sudanese army empower military group, the rapid support forces enters its 3rd week of both sides, say they're making gains and both blame each other for violating yet another sci fi . the army says it's repelled an attack on jebel, althea 40 kilometer is south of ha to it blames the rapids support forces with a continuing violence. the r s f denies this and says it's taking control of an area south of the capitol. ah, the un envoy has reiterated calls for a permanent end to the violence and issued this warning. locker shall young fe, work regional countries, and the international community must say that if the situation continues, even if one side wins the fight,

that side would not be accepted. internationally for side refuses negotiations and refuses reconciliation. it will not be accepted internationally, regionally. and i think also nationally and sudan, sudan doped as union has worn the health system is on the verge of collapse. this hospital is in the city of on demand. and i give you the le father to the open. we lack medical, staff and facilities or sheets have been extended, but there are only one or 2 doctors to cover 2 or 3 departments in normal circumstances. this won't happen. but now the situation is so difficult that you with essential supplies running out to those who can stream out of the country, relieve to be out of immediate danger, but uncertain about when it will be safe to return victoria gate and be al jazeera . let's get update with her, but morgan joining us from harder to him, so have our reports of heavy fighting, continuing despite about cease fire,

if indeed, and you can see how that the fire that has been extended from friday up until sunday is actually playing out on the ground plumes of smoke rising in the northern parts of the capitol in the city of berry, with intense fighting between the rapid support for his and, and this would be nice army on the ground. and that's in the city of barrie alone. in the early hours of the morning, up until late afternoon, there were sounds of heavy artillery being fired between the rapid support forces and the 3 denise army in the city of undermanned and around the vicinity of the presidential palace fighting has some stuff that has been artillery strike between the 2 sides being exchanged and around the vicinity of the general command as well . now the general command is under the control of the army, but the presidential palace is under the control of the rapid support 4th and the army has been trying to gain control again its control back. this is all of course happening during a period of a fire that was agreed upon by both sides, but both sides accusing each other of violating it and attacking the other bases

and their 5 digits flying around. so people have been warned, especially in the northern parts of the capitol to stay at home, stay away from windows, stay away from doors and walls because of chances of homes being hit by artillery strikes, people were hoping that the fire would not hold but not, not only holds, but at least a low in fighting so that they could get out and get basic commodities, but now they're being were to stay at home. so even that they can do in other parts of the capital, people are able to get out there able to try and get their basic commodities or medical needs if pharmacies are open. but in most parts of the country, especially the northern part finding continues and more can be rising. can be seen rising from various parts. yeah. have, and we were looking at the life picture just a moment ago. these are the latest pictures we're showing right now on our screen from the north of cartoon by hippa, we've heard the usual statements of condemnation by the international community. anything promising though, on the diplomatic front, while little diplomatic efforts have not stopped since the pricing began 2 weeks

ago, and it's now in a full week and efforts are still ongoing. now we've heard from the general, because the commander of the army, general abil hon. when he spoke to us public broadcast, the thing that he will not negotiate with iraq support for says, unless it's to make sure that they're no longer part of the army and no longer a militia group as he turned them. or to make sure that they're completely destroyed. so it's obvious that negotiations. it's not something that is now on the table. that despite the fact that the army promised to send an envoy to the south, that in the capital, juba to meet with the recess. and boy, to talk about the sci fi or some kind of arrangements that would end this conflict . so efforts are ongoing, both sides think that they want if he's fire, but on the ground where people see what the, what the residence of 2 have been living for the past 15 days is artillery stripes on one side from the other and unable to leave their homes and living without power or water for 15 days now in many residential areas. thank you so much. have

a morgan reporting for us from her to me? holler, da, da, da la lives in an area and her to me. he says as controlled by the rapid support forces and he spoke to us earlier on the hours of control of our area live right next to the airport, the airport, the city around the city and everywhere on the all i see is the moving is easy day and they have just they don't, they don't like they don't, they don't do anything, few dollars. if they just have intersections, their search, you the search or wallet they see if your you have anything to do with the army or like anything to do. you know, if you're a citizen, to let you go, usually you go take, you take your stuff when you get back home easy. but the supplies are running out of the thing. we go out, we get our stuff done. we're looking from the will, it's overhead missiles. it's very, very dangerous. but we, what do we do?

if we do that, we're going to start, we're going to but our vision, so we have to go get our supplies, get the bread, get whatever we can get. and stay home, and nowadays i've been electricity going off from time to time. so we're having difficulty in storing the food, even in the foot, just sometimes in general, the also standing together now all the citizens are together. we're like one big group. all the citizens are together, hopefully waiting for this war to end or any conclusion to happen. and people are trying like, even like they're, they're really like people are really trying to help each other with everything they can like citizen or trying to help you. so like it's, it's a very hectic region. so as we've mentioned, people are still scrambling to flee the conflict egyptian authorities se 14000 sudanese citizens have entered the country in the past week. so don itself, the hosting, more than a 1000000 refugees most from south sedan,

many of them are now returning home. the un has also registered about 14000 richer knees and says many more are on routes up to a 125000. the u. n. also says at least $20000.00 people have crossed into charge. joining the 400000 sudanese refugees who were already there in the town of prefer an in chad on the border with su, done. he sent this update from the refugee camp. there. people are living out in the open, the lucky ones get to the top shelter under trees. and of course some of the structures they put out, of course, are twigs with some straws that are strewn around together by ropes or even threads . so as to provide some formal shape, that's the condition that's living in. and a lot of people use talk. do they tell you that the conditions have not improved? for several mothers came with a sick baby as asking whether we are doctors or health workers. we told them no,

and they said they need help for some of the elements that children are suffering from. so it shows you basically how things are in a desperate state in that particular camps. the situation still remain unclear as people who are prevented all afraid to cross into china. it's more safer for them to move into sudan instead of coming westward towards charge to cross the border at cooper or any other joining village. we work together with some 8 workers who are based in janina. only a few days ago they arrived why we were staying and they were talking. they were talking about spending days over a 10500 kilometers, 500 meter distance negotiating their passage to safety. so it indicate it shows to you how much difficult ordinary civilians are. we talking about 8 workers who have been there helping people, and they are known to the local forces ethnic, malicious and security forces. so it tells you how difficult is it for civilians to

come to this side of chad. rather, they want to go towards so don towards come to me and defy interest with that, where they feel it's more safe than why they are. but again, as they will deeper they find that they've crisis, that it's still brewing to me, it's not safe at all. and so us from joining pounds and such as near costume. so basically there's tons of workers are worried about the condition of the refugee is been displaced from that of the current violence has deep roots. so don has a diverse population made up of hundreds of ethnicities. it's also rich and natural resources and competition for control of that wealth makes this conflict unique and complex. alex barrett explains. 2 weeks of waking up to the sound of it strikes and gunfire. sudanese caught up in the battle that's been in the making for a long time. a political power struggle rooted in ethnic and regional divisions.

further complicated by the fight for control over natural resources such as minerals and oil. at the center of the conflict, a 2 generals, the head of the army, abdel flutter albert han, and the commander of the rapid support forces. mohammed hummed on the gallow, known as had made. both men are known to africa fairly well. and boy, not yet. this is not a conflict that i just, you know, book and so i am optimistic that they leave as i be a you have to get that. what if god is both to yield some rain, but it's going to be a bit forward. but su, done his more than $500.00 ethnic groups. and politics has long been dominated by any lead based in and around her tomb. but han has traditionally gone at support from his fellow student. these arabs, while humidity has a significant face among non arabic ethnic groups and waste and su, done including the food. this is partly because he's from

a non arab tribe. the mohammed both sides have tens of thousands of fighters, foreign backers, and vast resources at the disposal. the army controls most of the economy, but the paramilitary group, overseas gold, mining areas. the country is africa is 3rd largest producer of the precious missile . and in 2021 about 90 tons of gold on the global market came from sudan. it also has deposits of copper, ion car. mm hm. and uranium, as well as abundant arable land, which supports the agriculture depend to the economy. through don is located on the nile river vital for irrigation and hydro, electric power generation, was shared with egypt and ethiopia at borders. and other 5 countries, nearly all of which a mile and conflicts, the country has strategic ports on the read. see the only points of export for around $135000.00 barrels of oil a day. most of it from south su,

done. despite this, the united nations classified through don as a low income country. if this violence continues, it could spill over and fix regional access to water, mineral exports, and oil supplies. and then these, the unfolding humanitarian crisis, the fighting has killed hundreds of people and injured thousands. this is shortage of food and fuel and hospitals are out of service. many countries have evacuated, the citizens and tens of thousands of people have played. all of which is pushing a base, a future for certain needs even further out of reach. alex bid, algebra era associates for heart as a retard lebanese military general. he's joining us from paris. welcome to the algae there, and these are so both sides in this conflict of tens of thousands of soldiers. they have foreign backers, they have vast resources at their disposal. so this must add a whole layer of complication to this fighting, doesn't it?

yes, that is a different picture. i'm going to edition bit when this is i need to be ended up abroad for 2 because the 1st of all. busy but he's not going to get out of control chain for the navy and unit over begins the vision. but the thought of me it was exhausted more of the than years ago. and both of them was wise for. busy kind of an issue that's rival, gather in the video but it's about one to each unit. busy individually with the individual so the section of the office is different from each other. busy so this is different feminists that we do

a confrontation between. busy different kinds of apport, this is actually a different us. we haven't, we haven't seen any sort of a position out of teams. football thing. got a bad for this for this. so what does this mean then? what is this all going forward and, and how this all plays out, because up till now, both sides look like they have no appetite to negotiate. and you look at other wars in the region. for example, if you look at the yemen war, it was supposed to be settled in 3 months at last that around 8 years, the lebanese civil war, as you know, drags on for 15 years. how might, if this ignites into a war and threw down, how long is it going to last? yes, i'm love it, but the guy within the unit. busy and. busy busy the same size. busy busy

the other. busy just deposited them also so they have 4 bit more than brace on the positions of the bus that we have been a m at a bus for the for the office and that same. busy just say, oh was, and this is the new guys. all right, so when i just for the sake of time when it comes, this is done. is this going to be a protracted conflict then? yes, it's something that. 1 sharing with each other and i think about the approach to what the other so now

this would be the one, no one was what was just 6, which is that munitions, food and blog medical services. if you would think communication rankled on wouldn't, wouldn't. ringback belong but the way that what happens is if both receive support from our region, i think we are going to long, long, complex. okay, thank you. in the house, we thank you for joining us from paris. thank the head of mohammed's husband, looking at the conversation on line about so done as the fighting enters a 3rd week, some sydney, se they've had enough and not taking a sand there,

protesting coating for an end to the violence and putting up what they say is a dignified resistance to the fighting between the army and the rapid support forces. activists from the battle mal resistance committee are demonstrated in yellow in south west to dawn. they say are safe forces are occupying streets and homes and preventing access to daily needs, like groceries. residents are angry at the restriction of movement. they're concerned about being attacked and the looting of their businesses. 7 and in the capital of salsa, don g, about people held a vigil in front of the sudanese embassy. they're demanding power. be handed back to the people. a civilian that government is one of the conditions of the transition agreement that was due to be signed on april. the 1st the movement is spreading elsewhere around the world as well for days, members of the sudanese diaspora have taken to the streets in solidarity from

australia, germany, wales, france, and norway. they say they want to raise awareness about the situation back home and put pressure on foreign governments to take a firm a stand. now we've seen various stories of sudanese taking matters into their own hands, opening food banks and crowd sourcing water and medicine. a pot from the shortage of basic items. another challenge is on exploded munitions left behind. after the fighting, one engineer is sharing advice about what people should do if they find explosives on the streets. don imus, you shall go over. mark. there are several people who have died because of their curiosity and because they will not be careful. our motto is don't touch, don't approach and immediately inform us that the national mine actually soto and we will deal with it. and others are blocking roads and digging trenches and also stacking sandbags to prevent fighters from entering their neighborhoods. this is in

alpha sheer, a town in the da for region. and as most state institutions are closed, some people are trying to bring about law and order in on min, shay, a neighborhood. and cartoon this man says he confronted a gang of thieves. i guess we were digging some grave to bury the dead and then came across a small gangs, hulu, to toms and shops. they were carrying refrigerators and suitcases. we managed to confront them and take victory for very tis and bags back. the bags are full of the churches are new and it's moments like this that offer a glimpse into the determination of the sudanese people. as i caught up in the middle of a battle for power. plenty more had on the l 0 news hour including 9 sun as a lease more veterans receive a warm welcome home. after more than 50 years abroad. poverty, public services on corruption. we look at the issues facing power wins as they had

to the poll and score true team targeting english premier league survival share 7 goals and the year with that story a little later ah, but 1st all sorties in russian annex crimea are blaming a ukrainian drone strike for a fire at a fuel. a storage tank in the port city of sylvester pole exploded, causing a fire that spread across a 1000 square meters. no casualties were reported. governor says the blaze has been extinguished. this incident will not affect the basketball fuel supplies. this is a reserved depot, which is not used in the cities day to day needs ask for the emissions from the burning of petroleum products, rushes consumer watchdog is assessing them, but our preliminary estimation suggest there shouldn't be any excess of the norms. so it comes

a day after at least $25.00 people were killed and strikes across ukraine. russia said it was targeting ukrainian reservists, president vladimir lensky, says keith will respond to what he called russian terror. charles stratford has more from keith. some dramatic pictures coming out of savannah, the pole was showing. this was russian oil deco on fire billowing smoke across the landscape. this is a huge, strategic and pulls to both sides. that has be no official statement from the ukrainians, but certainly according to the russian appointed governor, he's saying that preliminary information would suggest that this has been as a result of a ukrainian drug strike. that wouldn't be inconceivable because since the war started ukrainians have launch. what the russians have described as numerous drones strikes most air drones and see drones in that area. i think what's important is the timing of this alleged attack because of course it comes as this expected ukrainian counselor offensive to build up for that counter offensive continues. we

know that they have been thousands of ukrainian troops with a lot of western supplied kit that has been flooding into the area of zach parisha, which is north of crimea. and also the eastern regions of don't buy so many analysts to saying that that push could involve an advance from zachary's year towards northern crimea and a bait to, to split the so called land bridge between russian occupied areas in the east and northern crimea. so we're, it is hugely significant as a say no official comment from the ukrainians yet, but whatever happened, we know that potentially thousands of tons of russian oil is now going up in smoke . as a bichon has rejected, international appeals remove and new checkpoint, that's raising tension with armenia over the disputed region of the gordon care about the crossing was opened last week on the latch in court, or that's the only road connecting the region with armenia as bernard smith reports

this is one of 2 checkpoint that's up by the by johnny military. on the latching corridor, the only road that links the ethnic meaning enclave of the panica note is eric comedy to armenia. the other check on me. all mean in florida. now it's about john says ethnic armenians are free to come and go as they please along this road. the russian peacekeepers here, they're actually supposed to keep it free from checks, but they are very checkpoint, means that many ethnic means feel intimidated because of the long history of animosity between the 2 countries. the russians have not stopped establishment of these checkpoints, but the french and the u. s. a calling for the checkpoints to be removed as a by jump says no. they have to stay because it's all suffering right. to have customs checks and checks on good coming in and out of our territory as a by john says that armenia has been running weapons to the ethnic army enclave

allegations that armina calls farfetched. now there are further plans in the near future. according to our media, have yet further peace talks on establishing a final deal on the future of this ethnic armenian unclaimed. both sides answered by john and armenia. we'll have to get round the table again to discuss the still ahead on the als, is there a news our you can city kilometers. know any show over a jury and students struggle to find basic supplies and cartoon. our president bowes, to indigenous communities by recognizing 6th reserved, unimportant night for a german league leaders, barissi a dork lens. and you will have all the auction in sports. ah

hello. there will sat in the very south of south america from the satellite image. you can see a significant weather system pulling into southern parts of chile, bringing some wet, windy on when true weather across most southern and central areas. the snow on the andes went to where the creeping north into santiago, the temperature here, well below the seasonal average. and we'll see that repeated farther north of course, northern areas of argentina asked that system works its way farther north and east bringing the heavy rain to places like when us areas heavy rain as well along coastal areas of brazil, rio de janeiro scenes and thunderstorms. and showers, but the worst of the weather once again, around the amazon basin, some severe thunderstorms expected in columbia, and ecuador. we've got a red warning out for heavy rain across the galapagos islands. now as we move north to central america, we could see some very heavy rain pulling into the yucatan peninsula. thanks to

a storm system moving across the gulf of mexico. it's going to be in the worst of that weather to the florida panhandle. but some of those storms rolling away, further east across western parts of cuba. bringing some of those thunderstorms into have vanna 30 degrees celsius, however, on sunday, much quiet set with lots of sunshine for the east that she weather ah no place. and so i go on with press, retreated with the car about me to your home and vital vantage point. during the 1st televised war from the roof. we could see rectory, the american embassy, where the most iconic images of the conflict and vietnam were transmitted to the world. this was the front row sheet to the final stages of the war cycle and caravel war hotels on all 0. the latest news as it breaks, but i think,

i think just been confined to the capitol, all thighs claim control of major facilities. but so far it's been confirmed who has the upper hand with detailed coverage. people are coming here to demonstrate, again, rolling violence in the demonstration from around the world. and even when doctors here are able to make an early diagnosis and guarantee the transportation of the 60 still face another challenge. ah ah, again the on the all the news, our, the reports of heavy fighting around the presidential palace in sue don's capital,

hard tune, despite and extended ceasefire. the conflict between the army and paramilitary rapid support forces. now, in its 3rd week, people are still streaming out of su, done a vessel. carrying nearly 2000 evacuation arrived at the port of georgia and saudi arabia on saturday. citizens of saudi arabia and iran are among those on boards, back to the cobra, him as a nigerian students during that ensued on he shared his story and of that of his classmates, were choosing the nigerian government of doing nothing to help them is doing to them and to know the man, they only met less than i think, 2 weeks for me to when i read because the company this monthly, that's an unpleasant experience. because right now, everything is inflated, didn't include inflated. if you can get this,

you will buy sometimes you can get more than on what you might get if you come up with the kilometer. that is not in the shop open. on the job loss. there is no movement, there's nothing that is on present. but some of the students, so i just was reiterated this for so let me get in to do right now at international to do the waiting for the embassy to come up with them. but still, there is no presence of them, but there is no of that. that is not going to show the just trend it all the conflict answered honest making headlines around the world. laura con, looks at how the press is covering the story. the wordpress is analyzing the

conflict incidence from many angles here from competition for mineral wealth and 1st homeland to ethnic tensions, better political disputes, and other countries wanting a piece of the economic pie. today we're looking at articles in the financial times, the middle east. i and the guardian, which will begin with will this article is quoting form ambassadors and analysts who say saddam has been providing food security to nations across the world for years. and of to the 2019 uprising that ousted omar bashir gulf countries. the u. s . in europe swept in, eager to deepen financial gains. it goes on to say the united arab emirates fostered a close connection with mohammed hummed douglas. that mattie is robert support forces control the majority as to don's gold mines, and that the u. a's partners intervenes to protect their interests. it quotes

american officials, a thing, libby and general tally for hafta, helped to train the ourself. while the wagner group, a russian private military force reportedly offered weapons. it ends with a comment by former us envoy jeffrey feltman. he says, if you stop the fighting, then you eliminate the breeding ground for outside interference. and in another article in the financial times by the africa editor, david pilling, who says this town a big enough for the both of us using it to describe the 2 generals as gunslingers buying for control of what's left of to don. pilling argues the reckless disregard for life is symbolic. the wider betrayal that the 2019 revolution he recalls a sense of optimism and hopes for a better suit on where every one will have a seat at the table. but when it came to putting down their guns, he said the generals had too much to lose and eventually reneged on democracy. opening final point is not to say that africans are any more prone to corruption or

making any excuses for the cooties. but transitioning to funding better is devilishly difficult. and finally an article from the middle east i. the focus is on the dia, food medicine shortages. it says customers complain about empty shells and exorbitant prices, while shopping to say, the increase of the cost of fuel and transport has forced them to increase prices. the office do mentioned local initiatives including a food bankrupt by young people. and one of the interviewees is a doctor who's built a 1200 member, what's up community in khartoum and of german, where people can share information about where to find basic items. well, that's our prosperity for the day, but we'll keep delving into those newspapers in dailies who continue to cover the conflict as it unfolds. while moving on to some other stories and polish police so sees the russian embassy school building and were saw and moved,

announced by moscow as a legal officer is broke. the lock from doors of the building which was leased by russia after staff refused to let them in. poland froze, the embassies accounts following rushes, invasion of ukraine. the foreign ministry said the building belong to the polar state russians. ambassador torso says moscow will respond for 0, the stiff voters in it's an illegal act, an invasion of a diplomatic sides. yes, we consider the russian embassy school as part of our diplomatic mission, where our employees, including teachers, live in work. so this is definitely classified as illegal a breach of the vienna convention on diplomatic relations. so naturally we will issue a practice. a group of women has gathered incredible to protest against formal recognition of the taliban governments. the on thursday, the un security council unanimously condemned the taliban decision to ban women working for agencies. taliban says it's an internal matter. women and girls have

been barred from middle and high schools and public faces and prevented from working in most government jobs. the un has convened an international meeting on i've got a son in delta next week for testers, molly have called for an end to the un peacekeeping mission demonstrators gathered by my co in response to calls from groups close to the military government. it's been in power since june 2020, and his fighting arm groups linked to al qaeda and i sold russian mercenaries are set to be involved. the un has accused the army of human rights violations. 9 military veterans who fought for france have been told they will now get full pensions back home in senegal. up to now they've been forced to live in france for at least 6 months of every year in order to claim their stipend. nicholas hoc reports from de carr more than 50 years away from home, cynically,

soldiers that fought wars for france in the 20th century are returning to their homeland after the french government agreed to give them the right to full pension in synagogue. i am overjoyed to see my children, my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren. i am home. finally, almost a quarter of a 1000000 africans fought for friends. they were known as the t ios in ag, 85 year old in sally say was one of them. while he was awarded a medal for his service, the french state gave him a fraction of his pension, 40 years after retirement, a bitter injustice. se says who wouldn't you meeting liberty? i have mixed feelings about my experience and thought freedom, equality, and fraternity. the french motto, nest was for us only a symbol, it wasn't fin practice. i'd really we were you mediated because of the color of our skin. between the train station in the port is this that you know, knows them. and you pull representing a white and a black soldier, arm in arm here,

hundreds of thousands of africans left on ship to fight a war far from home. it's more than a symbol, but a tribute to block africans that lost their lives to free european. and many believe that this is a chapter of history too often overlooked. historians believe that yo yos, were instrumental in liberating southern france, reward war 2, but were stopped from entering paris commanders replaced them with white soldiers. the dog down before the roll of the african men in history has always been minimized. i think it's unfair that france failed to recognize the contribution of africans when france was on its knees and humiliated. many veterans died without getting the recognition in compensation for their contribution with a growing anti french sentiment in former french african colonies for say, the return of war veterans is a victory for all of those african that lost their lives for france. nicholas hawk
