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. they are also praying for peace ally. we are new while i doesn't go to the kind of 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, look it up. it's got the will. we're talking about the law was taking place is inevitable since a country ruled by 2 leaders cannot move forward that often walker. there can't be out to army as much over that, wherewith the armed forces of the people in the land say are the people also got to know what problems allow each other. fighting between the army and the paramilitary rapid support forces group has continued for a week. all attempts a ceasefire. have saved in france, germany in italy. miss try to get an estimated 1500 nationals trapped in her toom

out safely. it's either deutschland is it, 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 in compatriot letter on the latest developments going to some of them also currently cut off from all communications i need to find in is in the outside our fun back home when he got soon 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 asked journalist mad now shed whether the cease fire was respected at least over night. thank you for calling me 1st stuff again. no, the fire unfortunately does not seem to respect it. there was reports 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, you know, making good on their original lines. so unfortunately, you know, these fire in the sense that we would like to see it has not occurred to dad. yes. and of course, we know that throughout this week of fighting now the 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,

you know, incredibly difficult decisions 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 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 spaces to be. so trying to get evacuated 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's a number of informal activist networks that i'm taking it upon themselves to re

open hosted those that were closed from beforehand by trying to rush and fuel bringing doctors getting some form of electricity and powering of machines all in a bit to try to save and rescue lives and then these, these, these measures are taking place. it's dire measures of people that have no other choice, but didn't take it upon themselves to help people precisely because they're just such a storage of medical person. now, in the medical clinics in hospitals to assist people, that was journalist, mad, national reporting from cairo on the situation and sudan mat. thank you so much. well, ukraine's 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 fine against russia for as long as it takes. and they promised that american tanks do for delivery later. this here 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 to groups efforts sofa 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 and the mindset the ukrainians will use for training. all right, 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 front line more quickly after the pass. that yet is mostly i'll see, 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 dim. so i am very pleased that together with my polish and ukrainian 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 some 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. as total the doubles roman gone to ranko and keith, and i asked him if the message of solidarity for ukraine from the international community was enough will hear new grain. they 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 start 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, or the announcement both united states to lever abrams, m one, our main battle tanks. and they will be here on the battlefield. m in mid summer 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 may be months. i'm on the other hand, ukraine desperately needs western type fighter jets like f sixteens. and the west, the united states are not yet ready to leave, to deliver those. and you can receive some a soviet style and mig 29 fighter jets. but ukraine needs western western jets because it can use them to launch western type missiles. but am 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 at this meeting in 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 is still hoping that maybe an 8 sometime later or the west will be able to repair tanks 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 to bring them back to the battlefield. and,

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 care of roman, thank you so much for your reporting. we appreciate it. let's get a check now. some of the other stories making news, the sour chili's president says is governmental nationalized, the lithium industry. it's a latest challenge to electric car makers scrambling to secure supplies of the metal to make batteries chilly. has the world's biggest lithium reserves, and it follows mexico in nationalizing the sector. to british climate change, protestors who scale the bridge to unfurl

of the commonly used medication on the 7th of april, questioning its safety. the justice department of the biden administration then filed an emergency appeal, asking the supreme court to block the lower court ruling. the w. washington correspondent, i mean s s had more unwanted decision means the supreme court basically ruled today 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 federal judge appointed by foreign president, donald trump, a conservative and appealing to anti abortion advocates. and he essentially wanted to stop access to this drug, mr. 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 onto an appeals court, which said,

we're going to help this decision, but we're going to add restrictions to it and make it unavailable for women who wanted to order it 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 finally 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 double you news coming to you from berlin. a reminder now of the top story were falling for you. there been reports of fighting in sudan capital cartoon, despite a 3 day truce at the end of ramadan, more than 400 people have been killed and thousands of others injured in a week of clashes between the army and arrival paramilitary group.
