roaring overhead tanks on the streets, gunfire and smoke all around. sedans, army and a powerful paramilitary force have turned their guns on each other. just months after signing a deal to restore the country to civilian rule. even in 2021. the 2 sides. sedans army and the rapid support forces or r as f joined forces to seize power from civilian prime minister. abdullah hm took an uneasy era of power sharing began as army chief general abdel fought albert han became sedans de facto ruler. the while general mohammed hummed on the gallow, better known as him, nettie kept control of the oris. f. military rule was met with frequent protests as sedans, economic woes worsened international aid, dried up,

and fuel and food became scarce. activists marched almost every week in khartoum to demand a return to civilian rule and a restructuring of the military. large, i'm not good myself as we are out today to me in state the civilian country. we are calling very clearly for the military to return to the barrack v r. s f to be disbanded by the end of 2022 committee and oberon signed a deal with sedans, main pro democracy group to establish a civilian lead, transitional government. but the 2 generals couldn't agree on a timeline for a merger of their forces and negotiations sold. it was another blow for pro democracy advocates. 120 b alber hannon, committee are fighting over power in this one. and we are fighting for food and drink chisel that they are fighting over authority and looting the country. and

people don't have a gap with diplomacy at a dead end. confrontation became more likely just days before the violence broke out. the army issued a rare public warning that the r s f was illegally mobilizing its forces around the country. r s f and army forces. now blame each other for starting the conflict and both say they won't back down. let's go live now at you, christine vars. joining us from khartoum, she is a country representative for sudan with the federal impact shift on think tank. thank you so much for speaking to us after what must have been a long night. can you tell us what the situation is looking like today? yeah, hello, thanks for having me. well, we had the fighting soundtrack on for the past more than 28 hours now with lulls only around 3 times or when fighting broke around, went on fast. all sorts of silvery seems to be used to. we hear some low grumbling

sounds and then sharper thoughts are machine gun fire. there were fight tickets. overhead again, at least one internet provider seems to have caught the service and people are also starting to get a bit nervous over the supply of drinking water and food. in many areas shops, i closed it also getting really hot. here with more than 40 degrees celsius, so civilians having to shelter insight with no power to turn on a fan or open a window for fear of catching a straight bullet to really, really bad situation for many in this mega city. and that doesn't seem to be much awareness on the side of the warring parties over the situation of the civilians who can help with this into context for us. a little bit, this fighting broke out after rising tensions, including over how to integrate the r s f into the military. what do you think needs to happen to see this disagreement settled?

well, one united army is indeed a key civilian demand for a potential future. civilian government, or you may know that in the past few months, there was a lot of hope for, for this final agreement between the military and the civilians to happen. and the military handing back the power to the civilians. and the key issue of forming one united army, of course, would also include that are sorry for that the results militia was that the r s. f militia was integrated into this army, which of course is not in the interest of the our staff. they wanted to make this a tenure also process, the military push one or 2 potential talks may circle around those topics and reach a compromise to kind of diffuse tensions around. these are these issues, but this is not the immediate concern anymore. the immediate concern is that both

leaders are really am top now and that their rhetoric has become hard line since yesterday. both of us have maximum goals for the outcome of this power play and it would be really hot de escalate from here and to get them to a point where they may be able to talk i to i on issues. so this doesn't sound good for students, long hoped, transition to democracy in, in efforts to de escalate the situation. how useful to think international diplomatic pressure could be here? well, it's certainly a central instrument, although the pressure must go way up. i think the combined international and also the national pressure needs to reach a certain critical mass mass. we already had quite a lot of heavy weights are punishing statements yesterday, having their se butting hats together. but it obviously has not brought in the

results. so raising awareness of the plans of the civilians and of the will of the civilians, they simply do not want to military government anymore. they do not want things to happen as they are happening outside. they want to mock a c and the free society, and i think there needs to be a lot more messaging on this until the situation can calm down or will come down. thank you so much for drawing our attention to those elements of the conflict that is christine wars. country representative for a student with the fish ever shift, and thank you so much. ah ortiz now and in german football, byron munich, we're looking to cement their spot at the top of the bone, just like a table in their waist. at 14th placed hoffen, hein? both sides had to settle for a one all draw by onward. desperate for a statement when after their mid week humbling at manchester city,

and the champions league at the pressure was on a wind for half an hour would give the visit to some much needed breathing space in the relegation battle. the hosts looked to put talks of a form prizes to bad early in his sleep. first time, benjamin ha found himself in the right spot to give them the lead of the 17 minutes . kingsley commands miss shot, turned into the perfect assist for over 10 minutes. before half time serge gabrey came close to making it to no full bion, the miss inaccuracy kept off and i'm in the game. after the restart and rick ramirez hit the perfect for a cake to draw the visit us level after 71 minutes. a moment of genius from the corporation international leaving young's. i'm a no chance in the by and go. 11 proved to be the final school, and it tops off a miserable rig full coach till must tofal empire munich huffman. i'm secure an

unlikely draw and move 5 points clear of the relegation zone. ah, let's turn now to the contentious world of horse racing. animal rights activists have disrupted england's grand national horse race. one of the most popular events on the sporting calendar is out of the race was delayed, and more than a 100 people were arrested. it's one of britain's biggest annual sporting events. the grand national was 1st run in $1839.00, the event attract $70000.00 spectators and a global tv audience of hundreds of millions. oh, animal rights activists criticized the grand nationalist cruelty in the name of entertainment. it's not unusual for horses to be put down after being injured in the race. the death is horrific and it's

a cruel thing. it basically so fall behind. so back in the stone age. so we don't need, this isn't a metal horse is a dying way, upset by the cruelty in that we're not here to talk it equal and be angry at them because just raising awareness, dozens of protest is scaled fences and managed to get on to the race course itself, they tried to use glue and blocks to attach themselves to the fences which are part of the race, but we're bundled away by police and security star. the race itself started 15 minutes late to receive their complaints. adjuster cried. one of the horses died after falling the 1st fence across europe and around the world. people with visual impairments,
