effort against corruption and political crimes ah. in our series guardians of truth and watch now on youtube dw documentary. ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. the evacuation of foreign citizens from sedan begins to dance. 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 sedans, army battles, paramilitary rivals. also coming up,

russia expels more than 20 german diplomats saying it's in response to the expulsion of russian diplomats from berlin. bilateral relations have been on a steady decline since russia's invasion, a few credits. ah, american, how'd walkin sedans? army says it's facilitating the evacuations of diplomatic missions from the capital cartoon. it's been a week since heavy fighting broke out between the army and bribe old paramilitary forces and several cease fires. have since failed. saudi arabia was among the 1st countries to announce the evacuation of its citizens. and now others including germany, taking steps to do so. as the fighting enters its 2nd week, many in the capitol only venture out for urging 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. oh, 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 loan fighting. however, now reports picked up again. so, you know, fighting has picked 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. um, 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 indoors. with joining me now is a journalist, mat nation who we saw in that faces in cairo, following developments in sudan met awake off the heavy fighting, broke out. what is the situation like the civilians who continue to be stuck in the middle of this? yeah, no, it's catastrophic. um, you know, and i think it's catastrophic for a number of reasons. you know, people, so sort of out, as i mentioned at the top of the show, you know,

they're having to make a mistake and possible decisions, whether not to stay or to leave and, and to leave. you know, that's a very difficult decision when you don't know if you're ever going to come back. and, and this is kind of the predicament that a number of people in order to, we're happy to make right now. and, and the thing is about leaving or fleeing. it's all, it's also difficult to know. when is a good time to flee? might want to flee within an hour in a car is ready. but in the rolling you decide to take suddenly this conflict, the brakes on it. so it's making it incredibly stressful, both for the people that are maybe assisting their loved ones inside the country of trying to get out of the city and equally so for the people that are still stuck with me in the classroom to know whether or not they should leave when they should leave and how they should do it. and that the army says it will facilitate evacuations. do we read into that that they perhaps don't see these battles ending any time soon? yeah, you know,

in my view, i think it's, it's so we don't have to read it to each of them their, their views of, of evacuations of foreigners and, and then read into that about how they are so intent on continuing to fight one another. i think this has been in bodily clear from the messaging prior to to you know, these, these electric words and promises from both of these men emit team on the are set aside. but on the, on the army side, both of them have showed indications that they are intent on trying to find a military solution. and, you know, with the conflict right now, not really having a clear winner. there's so much disinfo going on. it's very difficult to see whether or not one would reconsider wouldn't both still think that they might be

able to get the upper hand run. so we look for progress met. do we know why they splice of filed sofa and perhaps what terms it might take to satisfy both sides to commit to which worse? i'm a bit, you know, cynical i think there's 2 levels and then leaves like can others, the regional level, of course in the regional backers for both these countries. and the fear for me is that again, because there's not really clear, or, you know, a decisive upper hand in this. i don't think there is a shift our dynamics that is compelling one to see what concessions they can get and the other to see. oh, you know what they're willing to withhold or what they're willing to cling on to and what they're willing to get. well, i think that's the case that we reside spidey. now obviously the regional sides

that are bad. but that said that journalist in cobra, thanks so much for your input. no problem. thank you. german foreign minister and a lena bear boxes. germany is preparing to evacuate it. citizens from sudan, but bear. bach said that it will only happen when there is a cease fire that quote holds for at least some time the german foreign office convened it's emergency task force on friday to discuss the issue there. boxes, the number of germans applying for evacuation is growing daily. russia meanwhile, says it is expelling over 20 german diplomats in response to what it calls the mass expulsion of russian embassy staff from berlin. germany's foreign ministry says it's been in contact with moscow about reducing brushes, intelligence, presence in berlin, but declined to say how many russian diplomats had left moscow as accusing berlin of damaging ties between the 2 countries. tensions between the kremlin and nordic

countries are also rising. and the documentary tre to by national broadcast is in denmark, finland, norway, and sweden examines the actions of dozens of russian vessels, often self described as fishing troll is operating in the north sea. in the year long investigation, the journalist found the vessels doing far more than just catching seafood. they're called close because they all him silently through the north sea with their communication devices turned off. but unlike the legendary vessels cruising with spirit cruise, these russian ships most definitely are manned by men who didn't like these danish journalists looking at them, i think now watching us the 2 men staring at us with given russian spy ships using the cover of fishing training or ocean, or graphic research, or nothing new. for decades,

they've surveilled nations pipelines, underwater, cables, oil and gas infrastructure and military exercises. a threat things up to with intelligence activities done multiple vol closely in august, return on his resume. very often. okay. you're trying everything after the sabotage of the nordstrom gas pipelines last september, highlighted the potential for such attacks. nato stepped up its assistant. we have established dollars, so other network court to coordinate their food spine a dollars. this is on their which is honda and they throw jungle. but the nordic broadcasters investigation underscores just how wide spread and brightened the activity can be. they tracked the routing of 50 ships going back years and discovered that several 100 may be involved. one ship in particular caught their eye months before the nordstrom attacks, the mill cart, 5 officially a fishing trawler crossed a major under c cable off this forward archipelago. $130.00 times just before the line was cut, coincidence would be much is

a completely illogical reason that are not at all. and obviously didn't seen the mountain cliffs. they are saying they're still on sizing for such a limited area. was it on 30 times? okay, i'm on field fishermen from those doesn't look like regular activity circles. while sanctions on moscow have reduced the access of russian ships to north sea waters. norway still has 3 harbors. open to them for legitimate activities, like refueling landing fish repairing ships. but this new evidence indicating abuse of those privileges is raising questions in norway. we could, you know, set an example and say that in know, these ships are not allowed to to salen, which in water is or to to use the region harbors anymore. i think there are, there are some room at room for action. there are definitely, while the russian government denies the allegations did dreaming of its military resources in ukraine, may make this type of hybrid attack on keeps allies increasingly attractive,

is that will make sure that you actually harm someone without you know, it being a declaration of war necessarily, your way has just kicked out 15 russian embassy officials accusing them of being intelligence agents. perhaps making seaborne spying even more crucial for the kremlin. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making news around the world to sell. now thirty's in talent have issued extreme heat warnings for dozens of provinces. residents have been advised to avoid going outside as temperature. serge, 2 above 40 degrees celsius expert. so the heat index means that it will feel as hot as 54 degrees in some parts of the country. australian comedy, great. barry humphreys, better known to some as dame edna everidge has died at the age of 89. i'll pres, portrayal of the flamboyant dame among other characters,
