ah ah ah ah ah, you're watching the w news alive from berlin, millions of sudanese of face food and water shortages as violence. perhaps the country international aid groups worn that civilians are running low on crucial supplies. chemo operations are under way to evacuate. thousands of foreign nationals and the country also coming up on the show,

speeding up ammunition supplies for ukraine. you foreign ministers are meeting to overcome disagreement on how to replenish depleting stocks. ah. hello, i'm clear richardson, thank you so much for joining us. food and water supplies in the sudanese capital of cartoon are running low as clashes between the army and paramilitary forces spread through residential areas. fighting between forces aligned with 2, rival generals is raging for a 2nd week. at least 420 people have been killed and thousands more wounded. many of the injured are unable to get to hospitals. and even when they can, there's a shortage of medical supplies. i spoke earlier to appeal to the well den and international development consultant. and she told us how the situation in sudan has been deteriorating. the situation is pretty grim. fighting. it's entered into

a 2nd week. people are still stuck at home. people are trapped in buildings. it's very difficult for civilians to get food to get water cooking fuel. most of the public utilities infrastructure has essentially collapsed, whether it's have come, come under attack or, or the employees themselves have either fled or are stuck within their own homes. so as a result, the situation is quite dire. cartoon is a, have any very dense urban area of approximately 5000000 people very difficult to have access to any kind of food or water outside of the usual commercial structures. so people are. 2 really soft free right now. now, as we've heard, foreign nationals are being evacuated at doesn't sound like a vote of confidence from foreign governments or people. they're afraid that these

rival generals will escalate their fighting once the international community. isn't there watching? i think that's definitely a fear it is interesting for me as an analyst in the region to watch the evacuation thing. obviously, a lot of it is a response to create an upstream upstream response to criticism that could be received with regards to evacuation after what had happened in afghanistan or in libya. but for those were on the grounds, many have not been able to to leave or have not been able to evacuate. we also know that a lot. 1 of the employees of the u. n. and other organizations made themselves also lead. so for sure, there is definitely a fear that this could mean that the fighting will escalate. and that will be more and more difficult to to, to report any types of abuses. this being said the, for in the community, the international committee was also quite under attack. these last couple of days

and so far the, the fighting have attacked diplomat has attacked at hospital. so it doesn't seem so much that the international community being there was able to prevent the extent of the fighting and the, the human rights civilian tragedies occurring right now. and can make a difference from the outside. do you think, what kind of international project do you think is needed for the fighting to end? well, i think that it can make a difference because i do think that quite a few countries were concerned about issues such as the intelligence at their embassies and worried about potential hostage situations and with their staff leaving. it does make it somewhat easier for them to perhaps be a bit more firm. we do know that the you had described that one of their embassies have been breached. they didn't get into specifics about which force was behind

that. likewise, the us had mentioned that one of the diplomatic convoys had been attacked. they didn't mention which side had been behind that maybe it's unclear, but i suspect that there is pretty clear intelligence and. ready to interview that was why do things with them being out of the country and not being, you know, having their public officials and being out of the country. it does make it easier for them in that sense to be a lot more firm and specific in terms of condemning what's going on. well, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today on that as well. thank following development for us in sudan. let's turn our attention now to any you plan to support ukraine. foreign ministers met in luxembourg today to discuss caves appeal for more weapons and ammunition in its fight against russia. the ministers were debating a 1000000000 euro procurement plan to boost your crane lesson supplies as part of a joint arms deal. but there were disagreements among member states use form. chief

joseph moreau saying that the result soon ukraine's foreign minister joined the meeting remotely and called for urgent action. i spoke earlier, i would say to these rosy burkhart who was following the meeting in luxembourg. and i asked her whether the summit met expectations when it comes to delivery of ammunition to ukraine. well, it depends whose expectations you are talking about. certainly, diplomats, that i'd been speaking to before these talks weren't expecting a big break through today, but ukraine's foreign minister was certainly pushing for one. the european union has been facing some very public frustration from key if over the implementation of this plan to provide ukraine with more ammunition. and i say implementation because the actual details of the plod broadly were greed weeks ago. already on the one hand it to vote, drawing down on member states existing stockpiles to their own ammunition, setting that ukraine, that part of the pond is already in action. but there is

a 2nd part under which you countries planned to jointly procure more ammunition for ukraine, and that is where the debate lies. these talks and now it looks like talks that will continue for the next coming days, a lower level, perhaps among you ambassadors. the knob of the issue here is the technical, legal definition of what it means to procure ammunition from the use arms industry . so going to european union based companies and buying ammunition from them to send on to ukraine at the debate were these about what if there are components in the supply chains from these arms manufacturers which come from outside the european union? or what if one of these manufacturers has a, a factory which is based outside the european union would that qualify? no, some member states, some ministers. i've spoken to dismiss this purely as bureaucracy, bureaucracy, if you will, getting in the way of sending bullets on the other side of this debate is a very genuine desire for me. new countries, particularly france, to be thought the use own defense and arms industry on the one hand to try and keep

delivering on that promised you is made to stay by keep site for as long as it takes. on the other hand, to try and react redressed, use own response, your country's own response to what is they believe a radically changed security environment in the wake of russia's full scale invasion of ukraine. and rosie you've been speaking to ministers and others taking part in that meeting, judging by what you've heard to day, do you think it will be possible for you to fully meet ukraine's demands and needs for ammunition in the near future? will ukraine will keep pushing. i think that is one thing that's clear, the ukrainian minister joined these talks virtually. and i think from, based on what i've heard from people in the room, it was really more what you might describe of as a virtual dressing don't. i'm told to use harsh language to try and convince these e u members. no, i think the debate will continue over the next coming days among ambassadors at a more technical level. and certainly the european union's foreign affairs,

too few except barrels told us in a press conference he expects some sorts of agreements in the coming days. and the often like the stress that it's not just when it comes to ammunition or military 8 that it's supporting you crave also. and other tracks, for example, welcoming millions of ukrainian refugees into the european union. and of course, the ukraine also wants one day to have a seat at this very table to one day join the european union. and the says, it's supporting key on that front as well when it comes to reforms. but ukraine, i think you can rest assured will keep pushing for this. keep pushing for ammunition because of course what keith says is, this is really a matter of life or death. thank you so much for that update. that's des rosie bernard, reporting for us on watson road. and we can take a look now at some other stories making news around the worlds. a russian court has denied bail for a suspect and a bombing that killed a pro war military blogger. darya tappa is accused of presenting glad than to tar ski with a statuette that exploded, killing him and injuring 50 other people in saint petersburg earlier this month.

according to russian media to pover says she didn't know what was in the statuette and was only delivering at 5 people were wounded when a man drove his car into a crowd under jerusalem street. police shot and killed the driver who they say came from a palestinian neighbourhood in east jerusalem. around 60 civilians have been killed in a village in northern berkin, a faso, according to a local prosecutor. residents told the f t news agency. the attackers were dressed in army uniforms and arrived on motor bikes and pickup trucks. the attack took place in karma village near the border with molly an area over run by islamist, militant groups. well, police in kenya have assumed 73 bodies from a mass grave in the south of the country. it believed they were followers of a christian cult, who were encouraged by the groups leader to starve themselves. in order to go to

heaven. a suspected cult leader has turned himself in to police rescue workers or continuing the search for more bodies and survivors. t w's felix miranda has been following that story and he has more from our studio in nairobi. good evening, so far, the bodies that have been discovered until to day i stand at 73 and 6 more people who are m. i shouted and almost de walter discovered in they've been rushed to hospital where they will be receiving care. but this particular organization is called good news international. it is based in melinda, in kenya, and course designed by paul mckenzie tele vangelis, who also asked thoughts to call the thought to tell, advising his messages sometime back. and he folded their tele vandalism, beads, and now started doing his activities secretly. and that is how he went on from most,

most of a i believe i see between 20172023 been doctrine nation that had taken place. some of the things he taught why that children should not go to school, seeing that a school was evil, where he also taught that women should not have their hair shaved or cut. and he also thought that if any one of his members was sick of then they sure did, they shouldn't seek medical attention. so those are some of the things that got people indoctrinated. and he paused, he paused, positioned himself as a leader or a preacher who i had talked about the end times ends during covered 19 the period between 202020. 23 is when he taught, when people that you see coffee does come there while he's coming to an end. and that, do you want people to following his message to have this suspected cold leader leading these secret activities?

how was it that the activities were eventually discovered by authorities? so one of the former members of the group who left his family members there actually talked to the police towards december of last year. and he, he told the police that people are dying and being buried in an 800 acre farm in monday. and that is when the police started investigating. so until last week there was very little that was known and nationally about paul mackenzie. but at the last few days, he's been on news he's the police have been on his case. he was arrested. and mobile is have been discovered on a daily basis. some of them actually under its children who got into their organizational and their parents seemed to have given their children up to this catholic organization. and some of the parents who, what even rescued even in their, in my social phase. we are still seeing that they do not want to leave the forest.

they want to be left there today so that they can be able to meet jesus. so it looks like he had gotten this people to follow religiously. he's his teachings and he had also placed some supervisors actually while this provider has been arrested today by the police. and he was looking out for some other people there. 6 who are rescued today who was almost also near near the death bed. thank you so much for bringing us up to speed on this. be the disturbing story that is felix marina or correspond reporting from nairobi. thank you so much. you are watching dw names coming up next in daily news, asia, rewriting history, or correcting wrong information on how school textbooks have become a battleground in india. and also coming up indeed of the news asia. we're going to look at how a suffering elephant has shown
