wished about why the universe and the rest of that were series. 42, the answer almost every thing this week, w mm ah ah, you're wanting to w news live from berlin. international calls to stop the violence as at least 3 civilians are killed in sudan. tensions flare between the army and paramilitaries, who claimed to have taken control of the presidential palace and cartoon international, airport explosions and gunfire are heard in the capital and other cities. also

coming up on the show, a russian strike on a residential building and eastern you. praying kill several people. the victims of the missiles strike include at least one toddler, rescuers and toby asked desperately, day for survivors in the bubble. plus germany is shutting down its last nuclear power plants is remaining reactors, are going off great a few months later than planned. and despite some calls to further delay, the shut down ah hello, i'm claire richardson. thank you so much for joining us. we started with international calls for calm in sudan where at least 3 civilians have been killed and dozens injured. amid an outbreak of violence between the army and a powerful paramilitary group on rest has been reported in several cities including

in the capital har to me. and in the city of marijuana to the north layer, both sides are blaming each other for launching the attacks. they had recently been in negotiation to merge and allow sudan to transition to democracy. the parent military group, our claims to have the strategic points, including the presidential palace, the army chiefs, residence and cartoon international airport. we're also getting reports of power cuts and communications outages. earlier i spoke to journalist if my coach coach, who lives in downtown hart uhm, and he gave us an update from the sudanese capital fighting erupted this morning between his army and the rapid support for sous rap. sports forces is a co american paramilitary group that has been operating in sudan, western shavanne for over decades. they've been tension between the 2 circles. for the past days, especially in the town of met, are we in northern sudan. but that tension seems to have come to our tune this

morning. i did don't count cartoon not too far from the republican palace. i can hear the sounds of machine guns every artillery. this is the worst case scenario. i think that's danny's had hoped that would, would never happen, as they hoped to transition into democracy after the 1902, and he's revolution. and can you help us understand what is behind these tensions and what you think has brought things to a boiling point? so been there been a number of issues between the military as a whole that includes the army and the rapid support forces and the civilian forces . calling for a transition to then when is protesters were able to topple the authoritarian government and one will be shared in 2019 women was made to transition into democracy agreement between the military, both of its components, the sudan,

his army, and the rapid support forces. the rapid support forces came into being over 10 years ago as a paramilitary that aided the army in it's complex. in dobb fort that agreement there were a number of issues that were to be dealt with including justice and accountability and the removal of what was known as the what is known as the empowerment of the army at the hands of the army and the rapid support forces in the cities economy, these were among the major issues, but really the major should be between these 2. is the issue of command. does the rapids or forces come under the direct command of the army? there were many in these are need that were destroy distrust, quote, discontent,

the power of the rhetoric support forces that, that doesn't have the same traditional military training that he is army has. this is one side of the story. the other side is that many, i see that the, there are elements within the army that still have connections to the old government of one of the ships that works at 20 deal, a party in between both sides and the civilians on how to transition. it seemed for the cost a month in agreement, i was going to be signed and kept on getting delayed, to bring the country back into a transition. but the, these differences between the rapid support forces and the army, i really have to get turned in the past few days and, and we're seeing the results of that today. and cartoon. well, thank you so much for bringing us up to speed on this escalating violence. really appreciate your time. and as journalists as male kush, crush in cartoon,

thank you. rescuers are searching for survivors in the ukranian city of savannah. after russian air strikes killed, at least 11 people, including a toddler, levant has just 50 kilometers from back move, which has witnessed some of the heaviest, frontline, fighting and recent months dropped within the robo in a residential area. devastated by russian shelling rescue was search this apartment block, the survivors bringing those who they confined to safety. local officials said at least 7 spots in slavery. unscrew targeted, including homes and civilian infrastructure. my liberal, good, good. i was just coming back home. everything should have been all right. fortunate . i had just left the shop. there was the post office and just beyond as there was a lot of smoke already gonna come and i was lucky hot on it. i got to the street

and i was told not to go any further because of the explosions with a bunch of group globally want to look at the actual ukrainian president vladimir zalinski called it's another terror attack on his country. was we change it as $300.00 missiles hit residential areas, regular civilian buildings. there are people under the rubble. everything is being done to save them. everything is being done to save the wounded. was unable, it weighs 50. the city of buck moot is just 50 kilometers to the south, slo, vianza and is a site of the heaviest fighting on the ukrainian front line. but for ukrainians, attacks on homes like these are a reminder that no way safe while germany is closing its last 3 nuclear power plants. today we're getting 6 decades of

nuclear energy to an end. the reactors were due to be taken off the grid last year . but their life bands were extended to combat the energy crisis. critics argue the plants should remain open in light of storing energy costs. germany is sticking to with aim of relying on renewable energy for the majority of the power needs by 2035 . jacobo blankenburg as a member of the german boone, this dog is also the spokesperson for nuclear policy for the social democrats. since germany's final 3 nuclear power stations are being taken offline today. i asked him if he considers this to be a good day. yes, i think it's a good day. nuclear energy is a high risk technology because nuclear reactors are vulnerable. for example, for nuclear natural events as we have seen in fukushima japan several years ago. and they won't ro, vulnerable for combat operations. you just have to look into the ukraine and all the news we get from separation and direct reactor over there. bad. but we also

must not forget that there is no solution for how to handle the nuclear waste. one of the most, most, most dangerous substances mankind has ever created in the next 30000 generations will have to deal with it. germany does differ even from its european allies. in some ways, france is actually building new reactors to increase electricity supply does germany know something that france doesn't? well, in germany we had made the decision to step out of the nuclear energy several years ago. 2011 to be specific. and then we have prepared for the state nuclear energy just makes up its small percentage on a single digit percentage of our energy supply. and more than 50 percent of our, of our energy mix is coming from renewables. and we will re increase this number

even further in the near future. so we just take a different path and in that manner. and you mentioned germany promised to quit nuclear back in 2011 things these days though certainly do look a lot different. there's an energy crisis, and a recent poll has showed that only a 3rd of germans think that switching off these plans is actually the right thing to do. given that public opinion, don't you think that this should be back up for discussion? we take those concerns very seriously. polls also show that the main concern for the people is energy safety. and the 2nd point is the energy prices and low energy prices. and with completing the exit off nuclear energy today, we will, we will once more take next step to battle, those 2 issues. so energy will be released. we will be safe in germany

and we will get cheaper energy because renewables are much cheaper to operate and to build in the short term. how is this going to affect energy prices? this will not, it will not effect energy prices, because as i said earlier, our energy mix just contains a single digit number, a single digit present and realize a single digit present of nuclear energy. and the vast majority comes from renewable energy and a small portion of coal. and we will phase out this as well to the end of the decade. but for now energy prices will stay stable. now, some critics might say that in an ideal world, we would use entirely renewable energy sources, but we are far from that goal. why not just keep running a nuclear power plants, a reliable source of low carbon energy, and we badly need drastic cuts for emissions. why not just keep running them while we complete the transition to green, our energy?

well, even nuclear is not 100 percent. you to see to neutral m, when building new nuclear reactive. and when transporting the uranium to the nuclear power plant, there is c o 2 emissions. and on the other hand, we have to look that this energy source of energy is not coming without risk. i already said that the next $30000.00 generation generations will handle, will have to handle and deal with nuclear wait for which we do not have starch facility. yet as many other user countries of nuclear energy am they, they face the same problem. there is no plan for how to handle that. and in my point of view, it's a kind of decency to not put a future generation in the position to have to handle even more of this

really dangerous waste. i thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on d. w. and that is blankenburg, s p d lawmaker in germany's coalition government really appreciate your time. thanks for having in japan, a man has been charged following an explosion at a campaign event attended by prime minister from rio casita. he was due to speak in the port city of cairo, mo, when a device was thrown in his direction, she was brought to safety unharmed. but the incident follows the assassination of former prime minister. sions, or ave, in similar circumstances, less than a year ago. oh, it began as just another day on the campaign trail for japanese to a minister female casita. he was about to give his speech when an object was thrown and a man wrestled to the ground. the hobbit he was visiting was plunged into chaos and the man taken into custody following the blast, he tried to calm,

shouted nerves. colo police are investigating the explosion at the fishing port. thank you. i apologize for causing people to worry what we're holding an important election for the country and we must work together to see it through to the end. i say, well, he does. most of the incident comes at a time when japan is still in shock following the assassination of former prime minister. sions are about just 9 months ago. the attack left a deep mark and a nation not known for political violence. not going as soon as again when we're seeing similar incidents. and given that this case with casita follows on from what happened to abby already, i think people are reassessing the idea of stump speeches. anyway, i'm glad that she does fine cookies. doesn't love with yoga thought whim of security has been wrapped up after the attack with diplomat some, some of the world's most powerful democracies arriving in japan for the g 7 foreign ministers meetings next month, cuz she to will host the country's leaders in his home town. to russia. incidence

that to days will have made many in japan security service is increasingly nervous . that is in his, apple, arkansas, are coming up next after a short break, a documentary about a life between 2 cultures following a young man in the law way, who grew up and he threw his mornings full, stating for that. or you can check on our website for more use an analysis i t company talk comp. i'm claire richardson in berlin for me and the whole team working here behind the scenes. thank you so much for watching a shuttle mill by your office. i am currently more people than ever are on the move worldwide in search of a better life on amazon or jessica.
