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 hard, everything that's happening, walker, i'm about 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. what i can little do dog was taking place is inevitable since a country ruled by 2 leaders and cannot move forward that often walker. they can't bear to army as much over the wherewith the armed forces of the people in the land say are the people also brought to know what's happened with the law, which other ah, fighting between the army and the paramilitary rapids pulled forces, grip has continued for a week all attempts a ceasefire. have so far proved short lived a blackboard 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 in compatriot letter on the latest developments. some of them also currently cut off from all communications i need to find in is and the outside our fun. they are commonly 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. joining me now is sherlyn muhammad aman, who is in the sudanese capital cartoon. muhammad, we understand the sudanese army is now facilitating evacuations out of the city. what can you tell us?

um again, we understand that the sudanese army is facilitating evacuations out of the city. what more can you tell us about that, sir? yes, it's actually for the, the, this a recognition has a gun as an initiative from that up. and so for system, as it is, you know, the bishop from the different countries in order to and it will evacuate in their people from the national and the ones from the country because of that. and then of course, what it's now, it said that it is presumably supposed to stuff some few hours. it has not yet a stuff it unless for this or that area which a months received or so that when that it see then

it in from boston to try to so that it. but what i hear that in the united states is just a few minutes ago saying that a feeling unsafe or do. ready you know, national to be evacuated at the woman. maybe the type of indicate that the patient at the airport is not a national airport. so this is also another problem because we can see that that is the crossfire between the 2 sites in different areas, not far. i mean, if you could meet us from the airport. so a, even this like usual process may, may need to take time in order to be a good to go because again, there are reports that the so called cease fire is largely being ignored. is that

the case where you are right now isn't it? i mean, this is for the force of the stand only in weakness for 1st time it has been violated wildly. so this is not an animal mean and now the. ready 2 sides are fighting in badly, you know, when even bad, he was a little bit quiet the other parts of to so now, i mean the, the price is in different places. so you said there was to the sound of home, which is a business, this kind of thing as if i didn't know today that is a fight and embody with up to a nearby the british that link up to them

was. so it's, it's, this is reading everywhere and it moves from one place to another. and it's somehow uncomfortable for, for the forced to just maybe the connection is also bad. ok between the shape and the and the lower, i mean live is a try to, i mean the started to use it for in order to reorganize or the position in their courses. ok, i'll let you know how much we're going to have to have to stop it there. unfortunately, we're running out of time. net, which mohammed on mean from cartoon. thank you very much. german foreign minister and alina burbock says, germany is preparing to evacuate it. citizens from sudan, but burbock said that will only happen when there is a cease fire that quote hold for at least some time. the german foreign offers

convened its emergency task force on friday to discuss the issue. burbock said the number of germans applying for evacuation is growing daily. for more and germany's evacuation efforts, i am now joined here in the studio by d. w. political correspondent, benjamin of rez. rupert benjamin. what more can you tell us about germany's plans to evacuate it? citizens, it's a really dramatic situation, and that's what the german for a minute son, alina babble said yesterday, while holding her spanish counterpart. that meeting right now. so we have m defense minister, forrest disorders, foreign minister on elena babylon. they say that the situation is really dramatic. and if we remember only a few days ago, we had media reports off the mission of a rescue mission to rescue 150 german nationals. there was awarded by germany while 3 military cargo planes were already en route to sudan. and that shows how difficult the situation is also when there are promises of ceasefire for them to go

in and then take the nationals out. and this is so dramatic situation. i'm curious as to foreign office, indicated just how many german nationals are trying to get out of the country. the spokesperson off the foreign ministry was asked this question yesterday and tea. sad would we heard it? german for a minister saying there it's a 3 digit number, but that he also said that the number is growing because there are more and more nationals also either contacting the embassy in cartoon or having signing up to a electronic system for these cases. for the equation, but not giving a number, and that's also something that we don't expect the foreign ministry to say as long as they're still attempt to get this people out and to do to security concerns. not give any more detail about that. now, i imagine in evacuation in these circumstances is no easy feat. walk us through what the authorities are having to deal with. it's really difficult because the fighting also is occurring close to the airport in cartoon where this evacuation would take place. that something that this report also sat because this

a legal thing when it comes to evacuating german citizens as well. because as soon as there are a boots on the ground, and that's also what this reports that it needs to go through the bonus of through . so through the german parliament, there are these windows of cease fires. but one thing are the promises of the sudanese army that is in touch with several other governments with the u. s. with britain with france, and to get the nationals out. but then how can they actually enforce their ceasefire for them to say it's safe to go in now? so that's difficult. they're meeting, they're discussing the situation and last weekend when they put this a like travel adversary in for german national to go there and told their, their national to already there to shelter in place. it shows how dynamic the situation is. there will be assessing it, but just to give you a hint, the boys to stories germany's defense minister was supposed to go to washington to morrow and he cancelled. and probably that also has to do with the situation in sudan that there are discuss a dynamic situation in unpredictable that did your political correspondent,

benjamin alvarez group or many taxed, benjamin ukraine's or western allies have been meeting add an air based here in germany. the most senior u. s. defense officials repeated pleasures to stand with ukraine in its fight against russia for as long as it takes. and they promised that american tank do for delivery later this year will make a difference on the battlefield. a show of solidarity for ukraine from its west that allies as the war continues to rage. us defense secretary lloyd austin praised the groups efforts 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 coming much in the morning. so the ukrainians will use for training or 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. that is mostly of us. 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 more. 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, lifelong ministers and nato secretary general yeah, and 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. the u. s. supreme court has decided to preserve access to a popular abortion pill. the decision means that the drug never 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 biden administration filed an emergency appeal, asking the supreme court to block the lower court ruling. the debbie's washington correspondent amy and s f explained 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 foreign 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 find 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. he is a reminder of the top shore were falling for you this hour. there have been reports of fighting incidence capital cartoon. despite her 3 day truce at the end of ramadan, more than 400 people have been killed and thousands injured in
