fleeing the fighting in the streets of cartoon. those who can are leaving others, like these university students are sheltering in place in war, but their supplies are running out. ordinary residents are suffering sedans. army in the powerful paramilitary group, the rapid support forces were r. s f. have turned their guns on each other, just months after signing a deal to restore civilian rule. the death toll continues to rise. the violence has left the cities, airport hospitals, and top military buildings, badly scarred, concern is mounting internationally about what the violence means for stability and sudan and the region. i strongly condemn the all to break of fight thing that he's

thinking play seems to done. and the bill to the leaders of this will than his armed forces and the rapid support forces to immediately seize all still it is restored, calm, and begin a dialogue to resolve the crisis. the situation has already led to war and those loss of life including many civilians. and he further escalation could be devastating for the country and the region. clashes aren't eruption of long simmering power struggle between the army and the r s. f, who 1st joined forces to oust former dictator omar alba, sheer and 20. 19 from her prime minister, abdullah hom dock worn of straying from suzanne's current political path. we have said good bye to dictate that she forever we can have the vessel. we can have setbacks, but we'll never be defeating yourself and the army,

blame each other for starting the conflict and both say they won't. back down. journalists and analysts met nash covers the region and focuses specifically on su, done earlier, he told us why this escalation, violence didn't come as a surprise. it's been quite well projected, and i think that's a bit of a condemnation on the international community. why it's happening now. well, in the days leading up to the conflict, breaking out, there was a push from the international community and from civilian political leads to inc. final political deals that they believed would restore transition. the issue however, was that by and king and rushing to think this deal was going to leave a number of issues left unresolved. one of those issues happening mainly being security sector reform and the state of the army and the rest. each one which feared that they would be losing power at the expense of another one and a new political deal. despite those tensions clear evidence attention is building

between them in the following. in the previous week's a push to inc. this deal. in fact, there was a dateline for april 1st. that's when you know civilian a lease called for to be expected to be signed. they have the security sector reform workshops, which typically would take months and months of sensitive negotiations and a lot of investment from the global community to ensure that things don't boil over between computer security services. and they wanted to do that with couple of days . well that didn't work out so well. and in fact, i think the point that i'm trying to say is that the rush to get a political deal to stabilize to actually that strategy. accelerated the confrontation between the paramilitary and the army. and the condemnation on the international community western governments and human rights organizations have widely condemned the sentencing of kremlin critic wanting the car moors to 25 years

in a russian labor camps. a moscow court convicted the prominent russian journalist and political activists of treason and spreading dis information about the russian military. farmers that had denied the charges he was from vassar to russia, said that the sentence was assigned moscow's weakness, not strength. and was clearly an attempt to silence to sent courses. lawyers say that given his poor health, the jail term amounts 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 charged 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 act of his 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 murdered opposition. lead a 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 it described as intentional poisonings long an outspoken critic of vladimir putin. kalamazoo remained 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. bill router was once the largest foreign investor in russian until he ran a follow the russian government. he's also

a former colleague and friend of letting me cut her medicine. he had this to say about the sentencing today. well, my main thought is just the absolute horror. vladimir is again, a guy who is in ill health at the moment because they tried to poison him twice. he's losing the sensation in both of his feet because of the nerve damage of those poisonings, dead and he can barely walk. now he's lost about 20 kilos, and as his lawyer said, this is not a life sentence, this is a death sentence. they will, they will basically kill him in prison if he has to carry on with the sems. and so i'm crying on the inside right now for my friend and my colleague because what they're doing to him is just truly and humane. so the 1st thing that we did myself and his wife, you have gania, after he was arrested was we went to different countries that had passed the magnet

ski at the minute sky at freeze of the assets and bands, the visas of human rights violators and vladimir was, was absolutely essential in getting this law passed and we went to them and said you need to sanction the perpetrators who have put him in his persecutors, essentially. and canada, sanction them the united states, sanction them. but britain, where he has got citizenship, has not sanction them. so britain is effectively doing nothing for their own citizen while other countries where he doesn't have any connection or doing all sorts of things. and so it's quite remarkable how passive the british government has been in the care of more as a case so far. and just across the russian border 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. a nearly a daily basis. ever decision to leave home to get food or supplies can have deadly

consequences. but there are people who are stain and they have very different reasons for taking that risk. t w's max and are joined in evacuation team of ukrainian police, as they tried to persuade people to leave of these guys, ukraine, the sign reads, it seems very clear how people here feel and yet then frontline towns like this. we find stories that are complicated. these men are trying to get people to leaf an audience to me, throw belong to a police evacuation unit, nicknamed white angels, sample corpse dog mildly and i'll boulevard loya was a leak on my book. really gotten your quest very this in the parade. this weaver louis louis moore's know what bought the bits off through the labor through what they bought on the natalie by the name of it. this was home to more than 32000 people before the war bombs,

and shall still fall in this ruined place. russian forces are making gains still about 2000 people choose to remain a resilience point. there's ti, electricity, and company. my guess is that what insurance special usually do you think you could you reference local green for which you don't get did you need an id and me to have been asked to visit one particular couple the man's daughter asked the policeman to get them out. they have moved underground was her, it was her bunker and legislative level video of us. but a fella. so if we break down leo, the proper previous doctor,
