united states, canada and all around the world. i'm kim brian hooper ahead on cnn newsroom president biden back home after his trip abroad and addressing the new abortion pill ruling what he had to say and what comes next in the supreme court butts. some positive news on the economic front this week, the fog seeming to lift on inflation in the us, but we'll talk with an economic equity. an economist who says be cautious of the new numbers and. panic and chaos of the political event in japan live in tokyo and why the prime minister had to be rushed to safety. live from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom. with kim bruun hoover. us president joe biden is back from his four day trip to ireland and weighing in on the abortion debate that

still rages at home. he spoke with reporters after he arrived at dover air base and took aim at restrictions placed on a key abortion drug. here he is. i think it's outrageous what the court has done relatively they're going to overrule the fda, and i think it's out of there, man. we'll see what happens. we'll see. late friday . u s. supreme court justice samuel alito temporarily extended access to mifid kristen . the high court is considering an emergency appeal filed by the been administration and drug manufacturer. significant restrictions on the medication had been set to go into effect early saturday. now that's been pushed back to midnight wednesday, depending on what the justices decide. cnn justice correspondent jessica schneider explains. the supreme court now weighing into the fight over the abortion pill, mifepristone justice samuel alito, putting a temporary pause on any changes

to the way the drug is currently administered. but only until wednesday, the court giving itself more time to decide if restrictions on the drug will go into effect. if the full court doesn't choose to act after wednesday, doctors will be instructed to only prescribed kristen up to seven weeks of pregnancy instead of the 10 weeks now, however, doctors typically have discretion to ignore. your those instructions , and it will get harder to access the pill. women will have to see a doctor in person and pick it up. instead of talking to a doctor online and receiving it by mail. according to a newly published study nearly one in 10 abortions obtained last year after the supreme court reversed roe v. wade used to preston subscribed during a telehealth visit with a doctor and overall , the drug is used in more than half of all abortions. the justice department urged the supreme court to put all the changes on hold writing. the fda is trying to discern their legal duties and urgently demanding guidance patients and providers shouldn't be panicking day to

day trying to figure out what the law is today and how it is going to change tomorrow, and that's exactly what it's doing is causing a lot of confusion and chaos. the justice department points out that kristen has been approved for more than 20 years, a scientific judgment that has spanned five presidential administrations and mifepristone, doj argues, is a drug the world health organization has included on a list of essential medicines. the justice department also pointing out that mifepristone is only used in abortions but also for women who have suffered miscarriages, writing that if any changes are made to the way the drug is dispensed, harms would be felt throughout the nation. because kristen has lawful uses in every state. even those were the restrictive abortion laws. the case was filed by anti abortion doctors who contend they are trying to protect the health and safety of women and girls. it's a case the mainstream medical community argues should be thrown out, in part because the doctors who sued aren't directly involved with mifepristone and didn't have the legal right to sue.

there is a way for them, at least for now to get out of this, and that is by simply saying the truth, which is the people that brought this case. a very small number of doctors do not have what we call standing. at this point, the supreme court is only stepping in to keep the status quo from preston into will wednesday night. that's when the court would decide whether to step in again and keep these changes once again on hold. in the meantime, the underlying appeal on the merits of this case, including whether these anti abortion doctors even had standing to sue in the first place that is moving rapidly in the fifth circuit, with the first briefs in that appeal, due at the end of this month. jessica schneider, cnn washington the us government is moving quickly with its prosecution of the suspected leaker of classified documents that included detailed intelligence assessments of allies and adversaries alike. 21 year old air national guardsman jack shera has now been formally charged under the espionage act

. pentagon correspondent or lieberman has the latest on the charges and the continuing fallout from the leaks. in a federal courtroom in boston 21 year old jack to sheriff faced his legal fate for the first time charged through the espionage act with unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents and national security information. the airman first class at the center of an investigation into a leak of top secret information in court, his father yelled out, love you, jack! response. love you, too, dad. fighters outside the courthouse to share his family thrust into the spotlight with national security interests at stake, said nothing to cheryl was an i. t specialist with the massachusetts air national guard enlisted before graduating high school, his senior year photo quote that now appears prophetic actions speak louder than words . he's had a top secret clearance since 2021 access to sensitive, compartmentalized information in a job that requires a lifetime binding

nondisclosure agreement. people who sign agreements to be able to receive classified documents acknowledge the importance to the national security. of not disclosing those documents, and we intend to send that message how important it is to our national security one day earlier and one hour south to cheryl was spotted on his back porch, reading a book moments later on fbi tactical team closed in on to share of taking him into custody outside his house. those who knew him growing up, described him as a bit of a loner. and into guns. you have a lot of friends. but like some of the friends he did have or also kind of in the same boat as him in a way, people are just wary of them. discord an online platform frequently used by gamers to share a built his own group of friends and followers. he's believed to be the head of a chat server named thug. shaker central court documents allege that late last

year, he began sharing classified information. a user in the chat group telling the fbi at first, it was just a paragraph. laughs of text and then photographs of documents that contained what appeared to be classification markings. the fact is, it's quite easy to do if you are a person who has decided to fight to violate your oath to violate the training and the rules that you operate under and to proactively make a decision to break the law in the days before his arrest, court documents say to share a used his government computer to search classified intelligence reporting for the word leak. on attempt to find out if investigators were onto him after to share his first court appearance on friday. he'll have a detention hearing on wednesday . this whole legal process that seems moving forward very quickly. about a week from when president joe biden, defense secretary lloyd austin and others first learned about the leaks to the arrest and the prosecution now moving forward for ejecta shera oren liebermann, cnn at the pentagon. the most influential gun lobby

group in the us has kicked off its annual convention in indianapolis just days after a mass shooting at a louisville bank that killed five people nearly three weeks after a separate shooting at a nashville school that left six people dead, including three children. former vice president mike pence , was among several republican presidential hopefuls who tried to court voters at the nra convention. in the speech, he offered this proposal for punishing mass shooters. while the assailants in the most recent attacks were taken out by law enforcement on the scene. too many mass shooters languish in prison for years. men and women. i don't have to tell you. justice delayed is justice denied? i believe the time has come. institute a federal death penalty statute with accelerated appeal to ensure that those who engage in mass shootings face execution in months, not years.

former president and current canada. donald trump also rallied supporters pledging to expand gun rights if elected. here he is i will ask congress to send the bill to my desk till early nationals concealed carry reciprocity. i want protection. just like your driver's license or your marriage license. your second amendment must apply across state lines. earlier i spoke with brendan wolf, gun safety and lgbtq, civil rights advocate who was in orlando's pulse nightclub in 2016 when a gunman opened fire on the crowd. i asked him if he thinks democrats will mobilize on gun control the way they have on abortion, given that most polls show americans broadly support that here he is. well, i think what you're seeing is that's already happening. and, you know, i know that people are looking for that big headline.

listen, i wanted to i'd love to see tomorrow. the new york times front page says assault weapons banned in america again, but the truth is that that progress is incremental in this country that is, in part by design. that's the way the system is constructed and people who are in grassroots movements like this one are fighting against some very powerful and moneyed interests. but if you look at where the country is today, a vast majority of people tell you that gun violence is among the top issues that's driving them to the polls. that's that's new for this country for people, you know that believe that we can do something more around gun safety in this country to tell you that that is one of the things that's mobilizing them to the polls. that's a shift in in our society . it's a shift when you know groups that are gun safety focused like moms demand action are outspending the nra during election cycles. that is a shift in this country. it's a shift in this country when 40 plus anara backed candidates lose their elections in a midterm cycle. that is a shift in this country,

and it's also a shift. to have a president like joe biden, who ran as a candidate on perhaps the strongest gun safety platform we've seen in decades gets into office, takes executive action and helps shepherd a bipartisan gun safety bill over the finish line. so i do think that we're seeing progress in this country. i know that we want to see more progress. we wanted to move quicker, but we are seeing progress. and that's why you see the n r a. essentially just, you know, a flailing arm of this right wing hysteria machine and not really the stalwart. hurt. um cornerstone of the gun proliferation movement that it once was. japanese prime minister fumio kishida has returned to the campaign trail after he was evacuated from a venue when an explosion went off blast was heard as he was about to give a speech to supporters. police arrested a man suspected of throwing a device at the scene. public broadcaster nhk reports that the prime minister wasn't harmed. cnn's martin stewart joins us from tokyo with

more so, mark what more can you tell us? kim. since we last talked last hour, we are getting some new information from japan's national broadcaster nhk . nhk is now describing this device that was thrown as a pipe bomb, adding that a second device was also confiscated at the scene. let's go back to around noon japan time. that is when the prime minister was at this political event at import import city in the southern part of japan, when witnesses described some kind of cylinder like object flying in the air. and then there was this report of an explosion immediately the prime minister's security team rushed him away. and then a group of men described to the officers tackled a 24 year old man who is now believed to be the suspect. he was wearing glasses he had on a mask. he had a backpack and then he was immediately taken away. again. it is important to stress that

no one, including the prime minister was hurt. now the prime minister did go on to make this political speech that he was scheduled to give he did refer to what happened. he said that an investigation was underway about this explosion. he knew people were concerned the apologize for that and then continued on with his political speech. i'm talking about the importance of the democratic process, and he was there for a particular candidate. but i can tell you that being in japan what happened today is eerily reminiscent. it's bringing back a lot of memories of what happened less than a year ago in july of 2022 when former japanese prime minister shinzo abe was assassinated during a political rally, and ever since then, a lot of questions have been raised about the safety and security of politicians. in many cases. politicians in japan do get close with the public. they serve, perhaps a bit different in other parts of the world in the united states, where there

are a lot of restrictions, this took place at a public venue, a fishing fisherman's area if you will, and so it would not be uncommon for people to come in and out to attend an event like this came without question. what happened today is going to elevate this discussion and call and prompt even more questions. about security, especially between politicians and the public. you can imagine changes coming, mark stuart, thank you so much. appreciate it. all right now to a developing story . witnesses tell cnn there has been heavy fighting around sudan's presidential palace and the army headquarters in khartoum, reuters reports. witnesses have heard heavy gunfire near the sudanese capital. the source of the gunfire wasn't immediately known . paramilitary group the rapid support forces said in a statement that they were surprised after a large force from sudan's army entered the location where the forces were present on the base in soba in khartoum. and laying siege on the force present there. the rsf called it a brutal offensive and

we've also learned that flights have been suspended inbound and outbound from the airport in khartoum. now this comes after days of tension between the army and paramilitary group will bring you the latest details as this develops. u. s inflation is starting to show signs of cooling, but as you'll see americans still shell at far more money for basic necessities than they used to. and later, france has a new pension reform law. but people who oppose the changes aren't giving up the fight of a live report from paris after the break, please stay with us. what do you g get from the morgan n stanley client expeperience. listening. more tn talking. and a personalizezed pn to guide you through a changing world. sometimes one thing leads to another thing. then all of a sudden, it's on with roman. you

the consumer price index dropped for the ninth straight month in march, rising just 5% compared to last year. that's down from a 6% increase in february, but inflation is still stubbornly high. americans are paying 8.5% more for food than last year. and over 8% more for shelter. energy costs over a down 6.4% from 2022. on the international level. the imf managing director told cnn that keeping the global economy growing will be an uphill battle issues. we have. still however, a problem of growth slowing down. and inflation not slowing down enough. and when you look into the future, unfortunately, prospects for growth are quite weak. for more on this. i'm joined by ryan patel, a senior fellow at the director school of management at claremont graduate university. thanks so much for being with with us again, a bit

of a mixed bag. let's start with the good news. inflation dropped again the ninth consecutive month of dropping inflation. ah, seems like we're heading in the right direction. but even with that there are some things as we heard at the grocery store that have gone down. others gone up so many people out there might not notice the impact. yeah you know, uh and i don't think they will. and i think when you think of inflation and the way we look at it, yeah, we are heading into the right direction and again. i don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but you want to see absolutely more changed so you can feel it because people's consumer changing behavior and patterns isn't going to change kim. it's still going to be in that same mode until they see a realistic we feel and their wallet and so because of that, companies and businesses are also in that same mode, and we're starting to see no mid sized lenders and small lenders tightened their credit standards , which in response to inflation , and maybe potentially crisis could push businesses and others

to cut back on hiring investments, which then you and i both know leads to cutting spending, and so i think people want to see more of a bigger delta or a difference that hey, it is going in in a further direction. it is great to see that sign. but we've had this conversation before i came, but we think that we're going in the right way. and then we got to put a stop and we don't want to be in that situation again. well, that that's that's exactly it because it is part of it that that core inflation, so if you take away food and energy prices , that's what seems like it isn't moving very much. so i mean, that suggests that that the consumer demand is still very high. but then, on the other hand retail spending it fell in march, which was more than expected. so again. this this yin and yang yeah, and you're absolutely right. it is the core inflation. let's take the energy and all those things out, right. if that didn't really move any needle, i want to see that move by a lot of percentage point. that's just 0.0.2 point one i think that'll

be a signal and retail cells is interesting. i mean, there's a lot of factors go in there. but can you and i covered this months ago about you know when you start to see layoffs when you start to see even the banking crisis? you know, when you think about how people look at their money and save their money, it does have an impact to how they spent. can we see retail sales go up back in the summer or in a couple of months went back to school happens when we see a pump. hopefully, we'll see that patterns back again. but that doesn't surprise me that retail sales dropped because it put everybody in a pause and what you should be doing or what she'd be doing having your money in that month. it's always the question and it's not as if the comments from those who are guiding the economy or filling us with confidence, either. i mean, we heard just a few months ago from the imf, and here's treasury secretary janet yellen talking to are freed zakaria. what people call the soft landing is possible. so i do think there's a path to bring down inflation will maintaining what? um i

think all of us would regard as strong labor market. um and the evidence that i'm seeing. uh suggests we are on that path. now are there risks? of course i don't. i don't want to downplay the possibility that there are risks here, but i do think that's possible. all right. so there she was hoping for a soft landing, bringing down inflation without triggering a recession but acknowledging there are possible risks. so what do you make of it? i'm sorry, kim. you know, i come on here and try to be hopeful. and you know, i know janet daniel is trying to be but when i hear her and i m f talk about how they're not including potential big turmoil only let me to believe that there's something there and i'm not saying that there is something there but that we are on pins and needles because it's the variables came because at the

end of the u. s economy can control what it has. but when you think about like we said inflation, imf's come out that the place is going to be more in other countries. you don't think that's going to have an impact. to the u. s the question becomes, as jenny yellen mentioned, is it? how much is that? and i just feel like we're a little bit in the fragile mode. as of right now, maybe in two months is a different conversation. but imagine there's another bank turmoil somewhere else in a different country or to that degree, i can see a scenario here in the us where it has some impact, and the fed chooses to keep interest rates a little bit higher, like i can see them play with that because they don't want to go in the other way. and that's what what worries me is that there is this rhetoric of well, we don't know, but we kind of know what may happen, and if it occurs, they're going to be prepared to tighten the fiscal policy. so i have to be honest that that this is a real possibility. shouldn't go that that way. i have to say i didn't expect conversation about the good news of dropping inflation to turn so depressing , but i guess that reflects the state of the uncertain economy these days. we'll have to leave

it there. thanks so much. ryan patel really appreciate it again. thank you, kim. and a quick programming note. you can watch free zakaria's full interview with us secretary treasury secretary janet yellen sunday at 10 am in new york. that's three in the afternoon in london only here on cnn. the death toll keeps growing after a barrage of russian missile strikes in eastern ukraine still ahead, survivors speak about the strikes in slovenians as the city comes to grips with the aftermath, plus the family of the detained journalists in russia speaks out for the first time when evan gorski parents want people to know about their son. stay with us. choosing a treatment for your chronic migraine 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours orr more can be overwhelming. so ask your doctor about botox. botox prevents

story with anderson cooper premieres tomorrow at eight on cnn. welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim bruun. whoever this is cnn newsroom. president emmanuel macron's plan to change the pension system is now the law of the land in france. about the anger against macron and his plan to raise the retirement age from 60 to 64 is stronger than ever. some protesters lit flares after the nation's highest constitutional court approved the reform. on friday. there were reports of fires and arrests and hours later, macron signed the pension reform into law. the government says the changes are needed to keep the pension system financially sound in the coming years, but union leaders are vowing to continue the fight. at least one leader calling for historic protests on

may 1st they usually marked by big labor protests is not bashir is live for us in paris or not a after all those weeks of protests. it's a done deal. take us through what happened and what might happen next. came this. there has been weeks of deliberation by the constitutional council. that announcement yesterday, of course, sparking anger by the trade unions and the protesters . essentially this legislation now being brought into force the central element, of course, the retirement age being raised from 62 to 60 for those six minor measures, including in that legislation were struck down, but nevertheless, this is a significant win for president emmanuel macron, as you said that he wasted no time. in signing this into law, and he has already extended an invitation to union heads to meet with him at the elysee next tuesday for further talks on this matter, although we have seen efforts in the past by the government to bring the unions

to the negotiating table, they were not successful, the government refusing to move from its position we've already heard from one of the heads of the largest unions. here in france, saying that they won't take part in these talks. unless there is the potential for this law to be repealed. of course, that ship has sailed that is unlikely to happen. and as you mentioned that they have already been called for further protests, and we spoke to many of the demonstrators who have been taken to the streets over the last 12 rounds of protests, many of them telling us that they will continue. to demonstrate against this new law, which has been signed into force by president macron, as you said that there has been that call for historic protesters take place on the first of may again . this is typically a day where we would see demonstrations across france. this is labor day . the unions are calling for more people to go to the streets in response to this new legislation, and, of course, as well as anger and frustration being directed towards this pension reform. there is also a

significant amount of anger being directed to towards president macron with regards to the way in which this legislation was forced through president macron, essentially bypassing the lower house of parliament, where his party doesn't hold an outright majority and bypassing a final vote. many of the protesters that we were speaking to earlier this week telling us that they feel this undermines the democratic principles here in france, and of course, you can imagine that this has sparked anger, not just amongst the trade unionists, but other protesters as well. while we have seen this figures in terms of the number of people taking to the streets dwindling over the last few weeks, we still saw a significant turnout on thursday. 380,000 people across france 42,000, according to the interior ministry. here in paris , and there were, of course, once again small pockets of violence, although these protests were on the whole quite peaceful, we did see some scuffles and clashes between protesters and the police. and again yesterday, some small

protests did break out following the announcement by the constitutional council. this is a deeply unpopular law, and it has had a significant impact on president macron's popularity. kim alright, thanks so much for not of us here in paris. but that's toll from russian missile strikes on the ukrainian city of slovyansk has risen to at least nine. ukrainian officials announced that the new number this morning a day after missiles rained down on the city hit seven separate locations, including this residential building, leaving 21 other people wounded. meanwhile the war in ukraine has decimated russia's clandestine special forces known as spetsnaz. that's according to the washington post , citing some of the u. s intelligence documents recently leaked online. they estimate that one spetsnaz units sent 900 troops to ukraine, but only about 125 are still active. now cnn isn't able to independently

verify that report. more than two weeks after american journalist ivan gorshkov, which was detained in russia, his family is speaking out for the first time. in an interview with the reporters, employer, the wall street journal. herskovits his father and mother spoke about their son's work, his character and his arrest, which is being held at a notorious prison on allegations of espionage claims he denies. his parents say they understand the tough situation he faces, but they're still holding onto glimmers of hope. cnn's alex marquardt reports. feeling both pride and pain. the parents of ivan gorshkov itch are speaking publicly about their son languishing in a russian jail and facing a possible sentence of 20 years in prison. feel that i've failed and somewhere father crushing that experience all came back from this soviet union , which parents are soviet jewish immigrants who came to the u. s in 1979. evan and his

sister grew up speaking russian hershkovitz decided to move there as a journalist. his parents knew there was little they could do. couldn't have stopped him when he was 15 let alone little or no bounced around different media outlets landing at the wall street journal just before russia invaded ukraine and started to crack down on journalists, many of whom left i know that he felt like it was his duty to report and he loved russian people, you know. he still does? yes no longer as russia fighting ukraine, ceviches pieces were well reported, often shining a light on the putin regime like this one in december on the kremlin inner circle, which made his family nervous. i think one of that article came out about putin. in december. got me worried a lot. like my mood was changing. late last month,

hershkovitz was arrested on a reporting trip to the central city of yekaterinburg, the internal security service. the fsb quickly accused him of espionage. the u. s government has declared it a wrongful detention, the attorney general said today and an attack on press freedom. united states will do everything in its power to get the reporter back. other americans who are recently held by russia, and the family of paul whelan, who still is have been vocal in their support. court taking a journalist. that kind of puts it into perspective for you how desperate the russians have become. next week, a moscow court will hear an appeal by the wall street journal's lawyers against hershkovitz. his detention his parents are hopeful but know all too well the reality of russia's judicial system. what's one of the american qualities that we absorbed? be optimistic, believe in happy, happy ending? that's ah. where we stand right now.

but i am not stupid, understand what's involved. but that's what i choose to believe. a major question since evan gorshkov itch was arrested is whether russia was doing so in order to exchange him for someone who they wanted in exchange is something that is possible something that would be considered, according to russia's deputy foreign minister , he said only after a trial and the verdict, however, unfortunately, we likely know what way a verdict would go, given that the kremlin says that hershkovitz was caught committing espionage. red handed alex marquardt, cnn washington the sister of the other american detained in russia is pressing the white house to bring her brother home island has been jailed in russia for more than four years on espionage charges . and, like evan gorski, which the us has detonated willen as wrongfully detained, paul's sister, elizabeth wheelan, expressed her frustration with the white house in a video posted to facebook. here she is

we need the white house to take charge and get the upper hand with the likes of the kremlin. we need some street smarts applied here. will the white house get played by the russians again? or will they bring to bear the full force of american ability and put a stop to this hostage diplomacy for once and for all? the job is to get paul whelan home. the u. s sector of state has said the white house has put forward a serious proposal to secure paul wieland's release and that they're committed to bringing him home. but elizabeth whelan tells cnn the family's worried that the u. s may leave paul behind again if prisoners are swapped in the future. supporters of jailed russian opposition figure alexei navalny fear he's been poisoned again. navalny was in court for two hearings on friday. his team says prison officials were forced to call an ambulance last week to treat him for severe stomach pain and that he's been losing weight of only was poisoned with the possible nerve agent back in 2020, his allies fear he's being poisoned again

central monday at nine eastern. returning to a story where falling out of sudan witnesses tell cnn there has been heavy fighting around the presidential palace and the army headquarters in khartoum. let's go now to nairobi, where where cnn's larry meadow is following the story. so, larry, uh you know, this is just still unfolding. but what more are you learning? kim it's still too early to make sense of what all this means, but what we're seeing on the streets of khartoum and other parts of sudan appears to be a power struggle between these two parallel military that exist in sudan. sudan is currently run by what is called the sovereign council, and the head of the council is general abdel fattah al burhan, who is the defacto leader of sudan. but the vice chair of the sovereign council is a general. um mohammed have done better known as committee. he is the leader of the rapid

support forces or rsf, and this was always going to happen. i can't do all sudan observers. many people in sudan expected that this rivalry. this power struggle would spill into the open into a confrontation and military confrontation between the rapid support forces and the official sudanese military. because it's a sticking point in the negotiation to return to civilian rule in sudan, and right now the rapid support forces claim to have taken the main khartoum airport. there's also been reported fighting in marawi airport tomorrow. airport is the largest military base, the largest military airport in sudan, where a lot of the russian supplied ammunition, right russian supplied equipment . the m i d s and sou coves are at this particular location. so one of the things we trying to figure out is who began this latest escalation, but this builds up on days of confrontation between the rsf and official sudanese military and we have had statements now from both sides this this morning we've had a statement from the rsf claiming that that there was a brutal offensive and

the leadership of the rapid support forces conducted calls with officials and mediators. there's been a long running mediation to try and return to sudan into civilian rule, and there's also disagreement between the rsf would like to it to happen over 10 years, but the military would like to do that in two years. and that seems to be a big problem. at the heart of this is who becomes the defacto leadership of the military in sudan because the main military would like to see the rsf subsumed into the main military bad committee and the rsf would like to remain independent as they were under the omar abashiri is and one more final thing here, kim that we're coming up to four years since omar al bashir was deposed from sudan, and in october 2021 there was a military coup that led to this sovereign council situation. yeah, it's a confusing situation for those on the outside because these groups have been allies and rivals at the same time. i just want to

read a tweet that was sent out by the embassador and you can see it there on the screen, but they're just warning people to take shelter and so on. do you? do you have any sense? um as to what dangerous civilians might be in in this conflict that's unfolding right now. the sydney's people have already been through so much conflict that they would just wish for this to end. whichever party wins this conflict, because the longer this conflict goes on, the more destabilizing it is for the nation, and there's been a lot of pressure from the us from other western nations from the european union from the troika to have these two parties agree on a return to civilian rule. they have both admitted to a return to civilian rule, but the disagree of the timelines and they have also both committed to deescalating these tensions. but that doesn't seem to be what's playing out here, which appears to be spilling over into combat on the streets of sudan. i want

to read a statement from you, now from the official spokesperson for the sudanese to sudanese armed forces, who said our honorable people in continuation of its course of treachery and betrayal. the rapid support forces attempted to attack our forces in the sports city. and other locations and our armed forces confronting them. so you see these battling statements as well between the rsf and the military, leading to further conflict and escalation that people just don't understand why there's so much of this bad blood between these two units and yet the sudanese people wish to return to civilian rule and have what is the rsf subsumed into the military or some kind of deal that would see their aspirations for peace come to fruition. kim it's really disturbing development will keep following this story throughout the day, larry even know thank you so much for appreciate. well fresh off a three day state visit to china. brazilian president luiz inacio lula da silva will next tour the united arab emirates. while in beijing, lula met with

his chinese counterpart xi jinping, and vowed to strengthen ties and stepping up puts upon reports. brazil's leader also took a few swipes at the dominance of the us dollar. brazilian president luiz inacio lula da silva have wrapped up a three day visit to china on friday by holding a bilateral meeting with chinese president xi jinping in beijing. following the meeting, the two leaders assigned to joint state main circling for deeper integration in economics, as well as a strong concerted action to address climate change. china is brazil's main trading partner, angela said that he intends to favor strategic partnerships we take and infrastructure companies from china during the trip, which took place roughly two months after lula attended another bilateral meeting with us president joe biden and the white house in february, the latin american leader took aim at the us dollar's dominance

over international trade. every night. i ask myself, why should every country have to be tied by the dollar for trade? why can't we trade in our own currency? on the environment of both leaders vowed to cooperate strongly against the global warming. but china steps shorter of contributing to an international fund to protect the amazon rainforest. brazil says it's key to reach emission targets all around the world. she and lula also discussed the russian invasion of ukraine, saying that they hope for a peaceful solution. to be found for the conflict in europe and brazil reiterated that it supports china's sovereignty claim over the island of taiwan. and lula will conduct another official base into the united arab emirates on saturday before going back to brazil over the weekend for cnn. this is stefano prosieben, bogota. we'll be right back. tech works hard at
