a documentary about the sounds of power, inspiring story about survival at home. i don't get the tennis. i was the only one . what lies and look music in nazi germany. watch now on youtube. d. w documentary . ah, this is dw news live from berlin. the evacuation of foreign citizens from sudan begins. sedans. army says it's taking steps to help people flee renewed fighting. germany is among the countries planning to get its nationals out. more than 400 people have now been killed as students, army battles, paramilitary wives,

also coming up a major donor conference in germany. more than 50 countries planned to continue their military support for ukraine. the u. s. says ukraine's partner stan, united in providing weapons for as long as it takes ah and welcome to uh, viewers around the world. i'm michael ok. sedans, army says it's facilitating the evacuations of diplomatic missions from the capital call tomb. it's been a week since heavy fighting broke out between the army and rival paramilitary forces and several cease fires, have failed. saudi arabia was among the 1st countries to announce the evacuation of its citizens. and now others including germany or taking steps to do so. as the fighting enters its 2nd week,

many in the capitol only venture out for urgent supplies, such as food, fuel and water. if they can find it. in southern cartoon, these residents take advantage of a brief respite in the violence to fill barrels mounted on donkey pulled carts with fresh water. o others are fleeing the city of 5000000. as the battle between sedans to top generals for control of the country intensifies this despite promises by the warring rivals of a temporary cease fire to mark the muslim holiday of eat, i'll fitter oh, there was a bit of a lot of fighting. however, now reports of picked up again. so you know, fighting has fixed up and i think, you know, it just, it just those back to the original sin of trusting these leaders with their words before their actions. so unfortunately, no

a ceasefire. and in the sense that we like to see it has not occurred in sudan. yes . the ongoing fighting is also hampering international efforts to evacuate. diplomats and foreign nationals still trapped in khartoum for to buy them with the airport in the capitol closed. and the runway heavily damaged the u. s. saudi arabia and several e u countries are among those trying to find alternative transport routes to safely remove thousands of their citizens. for now, they're being told to simply stay in doors. matt nasha, whom we just saw in that report as a journalist based in cairo. he's been following the developments in sudan. i asked him about the situation on the ground. that's extremely, extremely difficult. you know, although the, our staff earlier and now the military made promises to international or evacuate

internationals. they're still considerable concerns about the, the evacuation of, of sudanese them. so hard to miss store. if lee has been a city that has a sore, people that have been displaced by crisis and the surrounding regions, obviously you know, the. ready ready door or mountains and now her to itself is morphing into. ready ghost, but where people go in and our family is being able to stay together. these are the 1000000 dollar questions, and i think the question, a lot of people's minds are, you know, well, you back, you ation efforts. there's plans for those to be underway or nationals. is there also a parallel plan to try to navigate and negotiate humanitarian access and mentoring, or doors, or sunni citizens, and those ones that are, that are leading from the capital right now? that remains to the questions we might be asking for days. the army says it will

facilitate evacuations. does that mean there are anticipating more violence? yeah, listen, these guys from the outset, i've been intent on killing each other. and then the history of the military men made the same miscalculation without much ability. it seems for personal self reflection that to try to go at it in a military solution had on usually doesn't work very well. neither for them either for the country that the claim to. ready ready the quote unquote defending and neither for the region. so yes, i think that it's that there is in the fighting. ok. but at the same time, i still would be skeptical of the military's words of saying that they are willing

to cooperate on evacuations. well as foreign nationals that stay here. no, no, not their own, certainly citizens. at the same time we have to this observed the track record of these generals, when ever since they've been on the face of students since july 2018. and the promise that they've made to the west, not a good track record that was met nasha journalists in cairo. many, thanks to you, sir. 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 holds for at least some time the german foreign offers convened its emergency task force on friday to discuss the issue bare bach said the number of germans applying for evacuation is growing daily for more on germany's

evacuation efforts, i am now joined here in the studio by d. w. political correspondent, benjamin alvarez. grouper benjamin. what more can you tell us about germany's evacuation plans? there was a crisis meeting to day, attended by germany's defense minister boris stories and the foreign minister and alena babbled. and they are considering looking at all the options that they have to get these hundreds of germans out of saddam. there is not a number, they say it is increasing because it's also difficult to get to those who are that trapped within the fighting and then see what the options are that they have right now at meter reports a few days ago. say that there was a rescue mission already in place, but it has had to be aborted to get $150.00 domain nationals out of the country. now they're assessing the situation to see if there is a piece, a truce, and then they can get in and get out safely. but we don't know when that can happen . i'm having visions of, of, of the up ganeth, sten just some time ago. what can you tell us about nationals from other nations?

so we already had confirmation that about carrying saudi citizens and also of friendly nations, as they call it, made it out of the country safety. they are of course, other efforts in place. the ro talks, we heard the sudanese armed forces or in conversations with several other countries, with the u. s. with france, what the u. k as well. but one thing is, is telling them, you know, there will be a possibility of a truth, a peace talks or something with the fighting is over. but the other is that if the actually can do that for them to go into the country and get the nationals out safely. benjamin, i imagine nat evacuations in this particular context and with these circumstances is no easy feat. what can you tell us about what authorities are juggling with right now? so there is fighting close to the f. what there will be the place you just mentioned afghanistan. if there is fighting going on, if they are paramilitary groups, trying to take control of the f. what were this planes of supposed to land that makes it very difficult? of course it to see how the can actually get into the country. where if this crisis

team with germany is foreign ministry, we have the defense ministry as well. the chancellor re so many ministries and both to see how they can get into the country, then organize that. that's really difficult. if there was something with a broader also support that they need from the bonus from germany on force if they would need. the green light from the bonus are so from germany's parliament. but it's important what we just heard as well. it's not only to focus on the nationals who could be evacuated, but also to look at those millions who are trapped within the fighting. and who don't have any other country or embassy where they can go to full, then to be evacuated for them who try to go to chat, take other a land borders as well. so well, we look at foreign as can be affected in on the efforts. so it's important to keep in mind and also to not. yep, also look at what happens to those who have no prospect or a little prospect to get out of the country. so it's a very dynamic situation. it's dramatic. and that's what angelina babcock sad as well yesterday when she met her spanish counterpart mail,

looking into all the options, trying to get them out of the country as soon as possible. as always, many thanks to our d job. political correspondent, benjamin alvarez, group ukraine. western allies have been meeting at an air base here in germany. the most senior u. s. defense officials repeated pleasures to stand with you grain in its fight against russia, for as long as it takes. and they promise that american tanks do for delivery later this year will make a difference on the battlefield. a show of solidarity for ukraine from its western 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 argument, abrams timelines to supply ukraine with more armored capability and coming much in the morning so the ukrainians will use for training. all right here in germany in the next few weeks and all of this is huge progress
