rings out across this district in her team. as worshippers gather inside the mosque to celebrate, eat the end of the holy month of ramadan, but they are also praying for peace. a live jani. while i doesn't get it, because we don't feel like it's each has everything that's happening. walker, i'm about the law. it was the same over the last few days of ramadan and honey law . we thank god anyway, look it up. it's got the will. we're talking about the dog was taking place is inevitable since a country ruled by 2 leaders cannot move forward to that often market. there can't bear to army as much over the wherewith the armed forces of the people in the land, they are the people also be glad to know what's happened with the law, which other ah, fighting between the army and the paramilitary rapid support forces group has continued for a week all attempts a ceasefire have so far proved short lived for with the airport closed

and damaged the e. u. in the 7 member states with missions in sudan including france, germany in italy, miss try to get an estimated 1500 nationals trapped in her tune out safely. inside a door it should be rich, but the number of germans who contact us is growing every day and is currently in the low 3 digit range. as of today, friday afternoon, we inform local germans daily with the so called compatriot letter on the latest development. some of them also currently cuts off from all communications i need from the outside. oh, fun, the kamani cartoon up cushion. but as gunfire resumed in her team, shortly after the 2 sides announced to 72 hours ceasefire. this latest truth is already crumbling and joining us now is journalist match now should in cairo, who is falling developments into dan for us. so man,

what can you tell us about the situation in sudan right now was the cease fire respected overnight. thank you for having me. first off again. no, the fire unfortunately does not seem to respect it. there was reports throughout the night that there was a bit of a load fighting. however, now reports have picked up again, the fighting has picked up and i think it just, it just goes back to the original sense of trusting the leaders with their words before their actions. unfortunately, and now we know we're seeing both forces committing to further promises without actually, you know, making good on the original ones. so unfortunately, you know, these fire in the sense that we would like to see and it has not occurred to dan. yes. and of course, we know that throughout this week of fighting now civilians are the ones who are

suffering. the humanitarian situation was quite dire. want our citizens most urgent needs everything? i mean, i think you know how to start. you know, i think there's, obviously people are making, you know, incredibly difficult decisions of whether or not to stay in their homes or just lee . and i'm referring to the capital here because obviously the basic necessities like water, actual, you know, electricity, foods, none of these things are available in the supplies or quantities that it should be available in. and at the same time there's a lot of showing. so, so, you know, obviously those research is very important, but then equally important in order to get those resources,

they need safe spaces and safe spaces to be. so trying to get evacuated safe areas and just to be in areas that are at least somewhat distant from fighting and relatively safer than where the fighting is taking place. and then thirdly, i would say medical supplies, listen, a lot of hospitals have been damaged. you know, there's a number of informal activists networks that are taking it upon themselves to re open hospitals that were close from beforehand by trying to rush and fuel bringing doctors, getting some form of electricity, empowering up the machine all in a bed to try to save and rescue. ready lives and then these, these, these measures are taking place so dire measures of people that have no other choice but to take it upon themselves to help people precisely because they're just such a storage of medical person now. and. ready medical clinics and hospitals to people . that was a journalist, mad nation reporting from cairo on the situation in sudan mat. thank you so much.

no problem. thank you. well, ukraine's western allies have been meeting and an airbase here in germany. the most senior u. s. defense officials have repeated pledges to stand with ukraine in its fine against russia for as long as it takes. and they promised that american tanks do for delivery later this year will make a difference on the battlefield. a show of solidarity for ukraine from its west allies as the war continues to rage. us defense secretary lloyd austin, plays the group's efforts so far for announcing washington's latest contribution. we've also expedited argument, abrams timelines to supply ukraine with more armor capability and becoming much and the young ones that ukrainians will use for training arrive here in germany in the next few weeks. and all of this is huge progress for

their part. germany and poland announced the creation of a tank maintenance hub. it's location just over the polish ukrainian border would enable tanks to return to the front line more quickly after repair. it is monthly or less, he every piece of equipment that is supplied in this war where the tank so combat support tanks and other equipment such as how it says or patriot systems is subject to wear and tear. especially when they are in continuous use in combat. or do so, i am very pleased that together with my polish and ukranian colleagues, i was able to sign a memorandum of understanding will set up a joint maintenance hub in poland for the entire leopard to fleet food to get them to leo. life, lot of ministers and nato secretary general un stockton berg reiterated support for ukraine's future nato membership. but the focus for now, they say, is on helping ukrainian forces defend the country against continued russian

aggression. and we can now speak to w is a roman gunshot anchor, who joins us from the cranium, capital key, f, hello to you, roman. so another message of solidarity for ukraine for the, from the international community. but is this enough? well here, new grandeur say it's never enough until this war is over. and of course ukraine has received a lot of heavy and heavy weapons since the south start of this year. and main battle tanks are of western type, an infantry fighting vehicles. but um, some of that help comes late, for example, of the announcement both united states to deliver abrams in one i main battle tanks . they will be here on the battlefield, m in midsummer at best, but probably m a late in august. and this of course is too late for the much expected, an offensive operation that ukraine is preparing for the coming weeks. and maybe

months. i'm on the other hand, ukraine desperately needs western type fighter jets like f sixteens. and the west of the united states are not yet ready to leave, to deliver those. and you can receive some, a soviet style, a mig 29 fighter jets. but ukraine needs western western jets because it can use them to launch western type missiles. but um, in general, i would say a ukraine is receiving a lot of heavy equipment and it will be used very, very soon. or something else that was announced. and this meeting and ramstein was a deal to create a hub in poland to repair the german made leverett tanks. just how significance would this be? well, it's extremely significant, and the military experts i've been talking to say that am i to have an opportunity to repair tanks and other heavy weapons is at least as important as having tanks

themselves. some say say it is even more important. and so it's, it's a huge, major development for ukraine to have that opportunity. but on the other hand, ukraine was hoping, and he still hoping that maybe an 8 sometime later or the west will be able to repaired thanks closer to the battlefield. ukraine is a huge country and the distance between the maintenance hub and poland and the frontline is over 1000 kilometers. so it's a very long way. m m, and it will make it very difficult for ukraine to provide those tanks after they've been repaired or to bring them back to the battlefield. ah, but it is, it is very important to start that process to create that hub because more tanks will be coming at tanks from different countries and germany as well. we'll be sending not just leopard. we're a 2 tanks, the modern tanks, but also the older ones. leopard one ah, dozens of them of them and they will also need to be repaired. so it's a major development for ukraine and for ukraine, poland and germany that was dw rollin gunter ankle in kiev. roman,

thank you so much for your reporting. we appreciate it to the united states now where the supreme court has decided to preserve access to a popular abortion pill. the decision means the drug method prestone will continue to be broadly available in the united states. a conservative judge in texas suspended approval of the commonly used drug. on the 7th of april, questioning it safety. the justice department of the by the administration filed an emergency appeal, asking the supreme court to block the lower court ruling. d. w. washington correspondent, i mean as if explained, want this decision means the supreme court basically ruled to day that access to this pill that is important for many women to terminate pregnancies will remain unhindered. they were responding to a case from a texas judge,

a federal judge appointed by for president donald trump, a conservative and appealing to anti abortion advocates. and he essentially wanted to stop access to this drug, milford prestone based on his assessment that the f d a, the food and drug administration which approves medications had not done a proper job and approving this pill. this went on to an appeals court which said, we're going to halt this decision, but we're going to add restrictions to it and make it unavailable for women who wanted to order through the mail and make it only available through dr. prescription and the supreme court looked at that and for the past week they've been postponing the decision. but they found they said, no, we're going to go back to the status quo. women across the country will continue to have access to this pill, which is now used in about half of abortions across the country. lifting her
