to celebrate, eat the end of the holy month of ramadan. but they are also praying for peace. allude, yanine why light doesn't dirty 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 humbly learn a lot. we thank god, anyway, we'll look it up. it's got the will. we're talking about law, what's taking place is inevitable since your country ruled by 2 leaders and cannot move forward to that often walk. there can't be to army as much over the wherewith the armed forces of the people in the land say are the people also dr. norma, what's happened with la shy black ah, fighting between the army and the paramilitary rapid support force, his 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 deutschland disease. but when 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 developments going to some of them also currently cut off from all communications i need to find in isn't the outside our fund, our company cartoon up cushioning. but as gunfire resumed in her team shortly after the 2 sites announced to 72 our ceasefire. this latest truth is already crumbling. i as journalist madness, she'd whether the cease fire was respected overnight. thank you for

calling me 1st off again. know these, these fire unfortunately does not seem to respect it. there was the force throughout the night. there was a bit of a load fighting. however, now reports of picked up again, you know, fighting has picked up and i think it just, it just those 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 making good on their original lines. so unfortunately, you know, these fire in the sense that we would like to see and it has not occurred to dad. 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. what our citizens most urgent needs everything. i mean, i think,

you know how to start. you know, i think there is, obviously people are making incredibly difficult decisions of whether not stay in their homes or just li, referring to the capital here. because obviously the basic necessities, like water, petrol, you know, electricity, foods, none of these things are available and the supplies or quantities that it should be available in. and at the same time, there's a lot of showings 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 spaces to be. so trying to get evacuated to safe areas and just to be in areas that are at least somewhat distance from fighting and relatively safer than where the fighting taking place. and then thirdly,

i would say medical supplies, listen, a lot of hospitals have been damaged. so, you know, there is a number of informal activist networks that have taken it upon themselves to re open hospitals that were closed from beforehand by trying to rush fuel, bringing doctors, getting some form of electricity and powering up machines all in a bit to try to save and rescue lives and then these, these, these measures are taking place of 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 medical clinics and hospitals uses people that was journal is mad nash and reporting from cairo on the situation and sudan that thank you so much. no problem. thank you. could hopefully well ukraine's the western allies have been meeting at an air base here in germany

. the most senior u. s. defense officials repeated pledges to stand with ukraine and it's fight 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 age for us defense secretary lloyd austin plays the group effort so far for announcing washington's latest contribution. we've also expedited our m one abrams timelines to supply ukraine with more armored capability and becoming much in the mindset the ukrainians will use for training arrive here in germany in the next few weeks. and all of this is huge progress for that pot. 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 frontline more quickly after repair at yes motley,

i will see every piece of equipment that is supplied in this war where the tank sold combat support tanks and other equipment such as how it says o patriot systems is subject to wear and tear, especially when they are in continuous use in combat or dem. uh 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 for to get them to leo to lifelong 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. oh, for russell's perspective on all of this, we can speak now to detail the russia analyst constantine anchor to joins us from villainous hello to you constantine. so once again,

a message of solidarity for ukraine from the international community. how is this being perceived inside russia? well, the coverage in the state media actually was focused pretty much on wall thing. and this is the a young started back to the next sector general statements about ah, you great potential future membership of natal. ah, for example, the head of the russian space agency actually happens also to be a former ambassador to nato representative to late with me 3 or goes in ah said in a tweet, ah, yes, i know you shut up your big will hang you out to dry and this is such stuff across the board and russian propaganda shows on the account to russian officials, right. that's what the russian again, the people is actually the extent

a full ukraine roll they to lie. so it's basically one topic, nate rose. and what about this expected spring offensive by ukraine? just how worried is russia about this? well, the officials are saying that russia is ready, but actually they do not want to mention the offensive ah, to frequently. so the focus is rather on the massive support for this operation. the specially of massive supports as, as the propaganda phrase, of course, and on extra recruiting. more and more people are to fight at the front. it seems to me that proteins made the decision to maintain this operation in the foreseeable future, as essentially a very static drange wall are law, the beginning of 20th century. and everything is focused and everything is geared

towards essentially maintaining the territory that rush already occupied. and repulsing the grey as a do think they're worried, because basically the technical support, the, the support with the munitions and arms that the west is getting to your grain of mazda. give a pause for thought to rush, come others, there's no doubt about them. and causing, i'd like to ask you about these reports on friday that a russian fighter jet, apparently accidentally dropped a bomb on the russian city of belgrade. what more can you tell us about that? well, you said it's a bomb dropped on the city which is through, but the russian defense ministry described it as an unpleasant dissent. open airborne munition not to use the word bob in its official statement. i think that we've already seen what happened the most memorable ah image from this is actually

a huge crane construction going, evacuating a destroyed craw car from the roof of a high rise near by. it was thrown there by the force of the explosion. the diameter of the, of the damage of the crater, ah, in the center of belgrade, which is a fairly big cities, southern russia is about 20 meters. ah, no one was killed. 2 people were injured. it see. and essentially a part of a nearby building a was very heavily damaged, but this is an accident. ah, somebody said testify so essentially the unprofessionalism are of the russian pilots, but one can say that things happen in the army. accidents do happen in different armed forces. but of course, the fact that that have been very close to ukraine and it shows that essentially a lot of safety procedures safety protocols to protect the civilians from the danger of such accidents, a not implemented by the russian armed forces. now,

as it definitely russia, analysts, constantine egerton illness, constantine, thank you. thank to the united states now where the supreme court has decided to preserve access to a popular abortion pill. the decision means that the drug with a persona will continue to be broadly available in the united states, like a conservative judge in taxes suspended approval of the commonly used medication on the 7th of april questioning safety, the justice department of the biden administration, filed and emergency appeal, asking the supreme court to block the lower court ruling, the w's, washington correspondent, amin s's had more on what 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, miss prestone, based on his assessment that the f d a, the food and drug administration which approves medications had not done a proper job in improving 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. you're watching the w news. reminder of our top story. there been reports of fighting and sedans,

capital cartoon, despite a 3 day truth, at the end of ramadan, more than 400 people have been killed and thousands injured in a week of clashes between the army and arrival paramilitary group. that's the latest this hour. i'll have more headlines for you at the top of the hour up next is our documentary series of dock film. i'm marion evans, dean from me and the entire news team in berlin. thanks for the company. imagine how many portions of lunch us heard out in the world, climate change division often stores. this is my plus the way from just one week. how much was going to really dealt with we still have time to work. i'm doing all.
