and paramilitaries battling for control of the country. those remaining in the city, finding basic supplies like food and water, are becoming ever more scarce. power cuts and communications disruptions and now common place, hospitals are thrown into chaos with medical supply chains disrupted, impatience la stranded. this kidney, dialysis patient hasn't received treatment for 9 days, wasn't for you know, how long we are very tired. we hope that god helps the country and protects it. we are so tired, my potassium levels are high, my kidney function is high and there is no dialysis recalling on the authorities to find a solution for those who need medical help or something. meanwhile, foreign governments continue evacuation efforts. this un convoy carried around $700.00 staff from cartoon to port sudan on a 35 hour journey to safety. un secretary general antonio gutierrez,

said sudan would not be abandoned alone. let me be clear, united nations is not living. so then our commitment is to the sudanese people in support of their wishes for a peaceful and secure future. we stand with them at this terrible time. and it's not just foreigners fleeing the country. tens of thousands of sudanese across the borders into neighboring countries. a groups fear a refugee crisis would put further strain and already stretched humanitarian supplies. and for those remaining in sudan, they can only hope that this time the cease fire lasts. joining me now from leads in the u. k. is mohammed al, name a sit and his researcher in political and economic sociology at the university of cambridge, or come to d w. now the u. s. mediated c i a has taken effect. how is this truth different to other fails is via efforts over the last week?

well, i think the main difference is that the united states is mediating this effort, whereas the others were just sort of announced. but it's still unclear to us whether or not this truce will hold. the truces have been very difficult to hold, especially because it seems that on both party on both sides. but also especially on the r s s. that doesn't seem to be a kind of stable chain of command where these kinds of choices seem to hold and where people were hopeful that there would be a truce that would hold during aid, which is, you know, holy time for many of the muslims that live in that incident, it was during ramadan and none of them have help so far it's unclear whether this one will as well. you've been in touch with people and so don, how are they coping well, it's been very difficult to be in touch with people in sit on particularly because you know, communications hours have been destroyed. internet is it's intermittent. the infrastructure is, has been completely destroyed and people are trying to do their very best to find

safe haven. and so with those of us and sit down with just every time we do get, we do hear from the, our loved ones. we're very, we're very relieved, but we have so many loved ones and sit on our hearts and never really are now international diplomats and even agencies have been pulling out of the don. what does that mean for the student needs civilians who are left there? well, it means what it sounds like. i mean, this is denise, we're, you know, i just, i just heard the secretary general say that the international community will not leave this in these people behind. but for most of us in nice people, we feel that we've been left behind actually a long time ago. we were left behind the moment in which as this protestors were on the streets being killed by the 2 warring sights. were you know, when they weren't sure, they weren't planning their bullet, said each other, they were cleaning their bullets at their protesters. young people were dying, seeing that they would not confer any legitimacy, any partnerships to the butchers these this military hunter. meanwhile,

the international community didn't only sideline the democratic voices of the people in the brown, the resistance committees, the civil society organizations. are they the, the, you know, even in this, incentivize them from, from being engaging the political process. and so a huge part of what's going on right now, what's transpired, it is related to the political elite. it's related to these her effect militias. and this horrific general, but a part of, i believe most allies in the international community who are being evacuated now. yeah, a very difficult situation there for people in. so darn muhammad, i am. thank you very much for joining us. thank you. let's have a look now at some other stories making news around the world. canyon president william router says dozens of deaths by starvation in

a religious cult are akin to terrorism. his speech came as more bodies were exhumed on monday, bringing the death though so far, $273.00. a pastor has been arrested on suspicion of telling his followers too fast to death in order to meet jesus. rescue operations are under way following an attack on the counter terrorism police station in pakistan, which left at least 12 people dead and more than 50 injured. to bloss ripped through the building in a northwest and town causing it to collapse. it's the latest in a string of attacks targeting police in pakistan for a 2nd week. republican legislators in the us state of montana have bid a transgender colleague from speaking on the house floor. democrat lawmakers, zoey's effort has been blocked from debate on a bill banning, gender affirming. terr is f as supporters demanded she be allowed to speak,

but for escorted out by police for interrupting the proceedings. the use talk diplomat says he's hopeful of finally completing a deal to buy badly needed munitions for ukraine at the summit of foreign ministers and luxembourg. joseph burrell said the situation was one of extreme urgency e leaders agreed at the last month to purchase ammo for keith. but the pack has been stalled by disagreement among member states. e u ministers are debating a 1000000000 euro joint procurement to boost your cranes ammunition supplies. but it's not an easy deal to make. there's disagreement over how much of the business related to the purchase of arms will stay strictly what than to you. i'm sure that in the following day we will reach. but why lulu, for this legal of women don't believe that we are just sitting and waiting the

whole work. this is going to whole work. as i often was, the legal lou ridge there would practical work. we'll be finish. the joint procurement plan is part of a multi track. you deal to get 1000000 artillery shells and missiles to crane within the next here. track one of the plan is to reimburse 1000000000 euros to e u. countries for sending munitions to ukraine from their existing stock track to involves increasing the production of ammunition to match ukraine's needs. many of you, governments agree to buy the munitions from firms within the block, as well as from none e u. member norway. but friends, with a substantial arms industry of its own has insisted production should take place only within the european union, ukraine and its staunchest allies insist that decision should not be delayed by bureaucratic disputes. i understand those who want to see europe in military

industry flourishing. indeed we need that, but if we delay, currently, ukrainians might not push as far and as successfully as they could with our services. therefore, speed is the main factor, but we should be looking for now. for ukraine, any delay in the decision of weapons delivery means less chance of recapturing occupied territory and more of its soldiers losing their lives on the front lines. russian foreign minister says leverage has faced a storm of criticism at the u. n. over the invasion of ukraine leverage lead a meeting on so called effects of multilateralism. as russia assumed the security council's rotating presidency, western ambassadors accused moscow of committing atrocities in ukraine and of trampling on that u. n. charter. international cooperation of all things. the very fact that the

russian foreign minister, sir gay leverage has put this topic on the agenda it seen by western states as a provocation. russia's invasion of ukraine violates the un charter. this little blue book is written in plain language. and as we sit here, that aggression continues. as we sit here, russian forces continue to kill and injure civilians. as we sit here, russian forces are destroying ukraine's critical infrastructure. laughter of said the events in ukraine cannot be seen in isolation from geopolitical developments. he says that nato has been threatening russia's security for years now. she wouldn't simple yet. this is not just about ukraine. this is about how international relations will be shaped in the future. whether we reach a solid consensus in which all interests are taken into account, or whether washington supremacy is aggressively advanced virginia union. the

europeans put on a demonstrative display of unity. their message, russia must withdraw its troops immediately and unconditionally. by organizing this debate, russia is trying to portray itself as a defender of the un charter and multilateralism. nothing can be further from the truth. it's cynical, confrontation instead of co operation. there is no sign of the 2 sides moving any closer together. in this security council meeting, european leaders meeting at the as he is north c, cause conference in belgium have signed up on a plan to ramp up the production of wind power. they're aiming to boost the current capacity of offshore wind farms. 8 fold by 2050, turning the north sea into what they call the greenest power plant in the world. as part of a plan to reduce carbon emissions and dependence on russian gas. the north

important it is to protect our critical infrastructure. it is, 1st of all about having a mutual awareness about what the threats are. a common analysis about the strength and the weaknesses, and then to develop dig together a different solution for better protection. environmental campaigners argue that boosting and safeguarding power sources must be balanced with protecting marine life. so that efforts to go green, don't damage these precious blue resources. has reminder of the top story we're following for you at this hour. the u. s. has broke it a 3 day truce between the warring side, so sit down to allow for humanitarian care to reach civilians and hospitals. the truce went into effect at midnight local time, after hundreds of foreign nationals were evacuated and major embassies close. you watching the w is life from berlin. dock films series is up next. this time
