the 2 sides were supposed to merge but are locked in a power struggle at least 97 people have been killed since fierce fighting began on saturday. a breach cease fire to help people caught up in the conflict. brought little let up in the bottles behind to gent over the skies of cartoon cleans thick smoke. and the ominous rumble of gunfire. signal that the conflict is spilling over into a 3rd day. to dance army and the paramilitary group, the rapid support forces all r s f. have 10 that guns on each other. just months after signing a deal to restoral a civilian rule. the violence is already seen schools of death left the cities appleton top military buildings, badly scarred concern is mounting internationally about what

this violence means for the stability in sudan and the region. speaking on the sidelines of a g 7 summit in japan, u. s. secretary of state antony, blinkin cooled fur ton to piece ah, was raleigh av you again across all of our quarters on the need for an immediate cease fire. and a return to toss talks that were very promising in putting sit down on the path to a full transition to civilian. let government are people in sedan what the military back in the burse they want democracy. they want to leave like government sedan needs to return to their path reserve the clutches are interruption of a long simmering power struggle between the army and the r s. f. he 1st joined forces to asked former dictator omar al busha in 2019 former prime minister,

abdullah. hum dock warned. of straying from sudan current political pulse. we have said good bye to dictate that ship forever. we can have reversal, we can have said backs, but will never be defeated. the r s f and the army, blame each other for starting the conflict. and i'd say they were backed down journalists. patrick is in juba and south sudan. he told us about the situation in cartoon today. yeah, we've spoken to a number of people including relatives that we have in for don. all of us in south down are very concerned on possible level. but also of course, what we are hearing is that the fighting is around the airport and the fighting useful also around the presidential pilot. now somebody who has been in come to me like me, the airport in. so down in the capitol, the cartoon is actually in the middle of the city as well as the presidential

palace is not far away from the apple is in the middle of the city. and this is the challenge because the fighting, if in the middle of the city, and many people of course are caught up in the houses sound on our food sound on our water. electricity is also be cut off to some, some homes because some of the lines going there have been destroyed by the bullet . so yeah, the fighting is, is ongoing. and he's a concern for every suit and he's on the people we are talking to are saying no one is safe and no way is because they're fighting because grading across the country. so that's really the concern for me. so any prominent russian journalist, an activist of philadelphia curb, marizza has been convicted of treason and spreading dis information about the russian military. he's been sentenced to 25 years in a russian labour camp. following the conviction, kara marizza head to ny the charges. his lawyer told d w that in the light of her clients who are health jail term amounted to

a death sentence, a so called strict regime labor camp in russia. it's the kinds of prison in which vladimir kind of mertsa may now spend the next 25 years of his life. the dual russian and british citizen is one of russia's last prominent opposition figures. he's been behind balls since april 2022. russian authorities arrested canada after he did now. thrushes, so called special military operation and ukraine. during his speech to american politicians, he was 1st charge with spreading false information about the russian military. then russian, prosecutors added a charge of treason, the son of a soviet era journalist carol mertsa has worked to the journalist and political activists. since he was 16, he served as part of the coordinating council of the russian opposition and the enjo open russia. he was also widely seen as

a protege of mad at opposition leader bars nymphs of was gun down near the kremlin in 2015 car mother also alleges he was the target of political violence twice narrowly surviving. what talked as described as intentional poisonings. long an outspoken critic of vladimir putin cannon, missouri, main, defiant during his trial, saying his proud of his statements and looks forward to the day when the people who unleashed rushes invasion of ukraine are recognized as criminals. you re re chateau as d w. as for moscow, bureau chief reporting now from riga as dw is banned from reporting in russia. he told us more about vladimir kara, maurice's work, and how it landed him in trouble with the government. while kyra marizza is a 40 a year 41 year old to he is a former journalist, as i sat with the russian and a british citizenship. and he is one of the yup, last grambling harshest critics who didn't live abroad in exile or a war behind bars or for years, caramel reside,

has been lobbying foreign governments to impose sanctions against russia as a state. and russian citizens for alleged human rights violations. are in the 20152017 i q phased alleged poisoning attacks and barely survived. garza said he was the victim of attacks as rational authorities deny any involvement in these alleged attacks. and in his final speech to day cromwell czar compared his trial to one of yours stalins show trials in the 19 3rd is he declined to ask the court for clemency. he said she stood by everything he said, and was proud of it. of his political statements in ukraine every day. life is a gamble for those living in cities on the front line, civilians find themselves under fire from rockets and artillery shells on nearly a daily basis are also subjected to intense propaganda. every decision to leave

home to get food or supplies can have deadly consequences. but there are people who are stay and they have very different reasons for taking that risk. t w's max thunder joined. an evacuation team of cranium police, as they try to persuade people to lee of these guys, ukraine, the sign reads, it seems very clear how people here feel and yet in frontline towns like this, we find stories that are complicated. these men are trying to get people to leave kanadi and to me throw belong to a police evacuation unit, nicknamed white angels. shop is currently in the space but actually in modeling more number about the sample port. the modeling was about doyle was a leak. um, apple really got a new class for this for this week. i wish it was more known about the pit bulls

and soviet military id 43 years old. i kept close to having a leaking on nikia, dora co meetings, alka ne, who at ad, you know, it's a neat gift to lose you, but you might get a new ship. williams shabby. it's come say you shift lazuli of soviet scott mikka that i shared that ideally with me in yeah, it not chance, but yet then you put i and as yellow, i felt so glad you never would you not that will at that get like when you make it that not that will idaho out here, like that's a common opinion in towns like these. even though negotiating with russia could leave them under moscow's rule. there is a sense that some are not just no stells about the soviet union, but waiting for russians to arrive back enough. the car we ask police officer naughty about this is going to call you back your property year to coach that was on the he was go home. we are a muslim watching for my to special give for next to

look in the yet thank you. re book a colleague, the 3 more well it was will be 2nd grade and thank you through the yes i key thought or music much consider what you know place that i knew that the officers of the white angels can offer a way out of town for those who want to take it and that story was shot by our team on the 7th of april, some of the people featured who initially refused to leave, have since been brought to safety by the white angels police team which i know by berlin carrasco rodriguez say senior investigator at the center for information resilience in london. thanks for being with us. berlin. in that report we saw people in ukraine whose thinking is shaped to some degree by propaganda. how

difficult is it for people in ukraine to navigate their information landscape? well, hello, thank you for being measured to be here. again, it is extremely difficult, especially in my area to access to reliable information about the conflict. because on the one hand, sometimes when russia returned to me, they replaced me. you credit me got sources by a russian people propaganda. but at the same time, they information various cars, not only because of the lack of internet connectivity or other issues that could be around there. but also because the content that we access to a couple user generated content taken from to east, not comment ukrainian for about to patiently fumbling. i was scared of sharing anything online why the peach or under attack. so

the formation environment that they have is completely different information environment that we have, and the permission that we accept for outside what what you're talking about, the front line and the battlefield. what role is information warfare playing in this conflict? is it making a difference on the battlefield in ukraine? thank for mission, environment east, definitely making a difference in ukiah. but i would emphasize here that it makes between propaganda on more direct course. if make any sense, such as like playland seeing a position that spreads year among ukrainians, leaning in the front line. so yes, very propaganda branches committed to excessive bay to russia, texas in into complex. and it takes,

i mean like the supports like are successful because of the isolated information environments i've just said. but at the same time d. c met with like okay, by enough to reduce establishing mechanisms in order to spread the like physical beer on ukrainians. on the front line, can you give us some examples of this information campaigns in the ukraine wore some significant examples. so would you want me to give an example? all this information campaigns in occupied areas or in from like areas or your choice? you know, i was just trying to get an idea of what, what sort of examples are we talking about here? you talked about efforts to instill fear in people. what are these i'm told exactly . i i'm thinking about spreading beer around a little community or pulling a rush out. okay. by area like risks like being killed in

immigration or not being able to find anything beneficial from to summer lea you by the area in ukraine control area. so control the mission environment, make them just like being that they are safer in from life than what they would be outside in ukraine control areas as well as where where is this information war primarily being fought? is it happening mainly on social media platforms or traditional media playing a significant role as well? i think we have a mix of both, but definitely brushing russia link account delivery social media. because especially because the, the increasing corporate moderation a heart or trying to like regulate try to just moderate it amount of this

information. this is brent by russian conventional media source. so i would say that although that feel like a commissioner maybe feel like a bucket grandma's inflammation. russian link accounts are able to bypass these acorns immersion, and it's like more success in social media. your social media for this information is implementing you. you mentioned of russian propaganda quite a bit. what does ukraine doing to actively counter that propaganda? are they putting out information campaigns themselves or, and is it effective? i think that i may ukraine in a sticky communications. a strategy is ha, my focused on fire messages. i see you train year globally,

these messages being amplified by a very large yes. correct. so i am a to contest resting information if you'd like to shop around and see what's happening. and just by that relative that what's happening and because being effective, especially for marbles, but at the same time in are going to be online support in other countries like european union or the u. s. blend. thank you very much for talking with this. that was blaine carrasco rodriguez from the center of for information resilience in london. yeah. catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today. russian president vladimir putin has met with his defense minister saga sugar to discuss the snap military drills being carried out by russia's pacific fleet routine said the exercises demonstrated countries,
