$700.00 staff from cartoon to port sued on a 35 hour journey to safety. un secretary general antonio terrace, said sudan with 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 spent 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 great fear, a refugee crisis would put further strain on already stretched humanitarian supplies. and for those remaining and su dawn, they can only hope that this time the ceasefire lasts. and for more let's bring in journalist patrick. oh yeah. who has been following the situation from juba in neighboring south sudan. the u. s. mediated cease fire appears to be holding. is
8:04 am
this truce likely to be different to other failed cease fire efforts over the past week? for now, it is holding a day come into effects around midnight. so downtime and at least it has been quiet, which is what many sudanese are happy about because many people been concerned about the fighting going for very long. however, it is difficult to really say that the twos will be holding because one reason as to why the previous fires have been failing is basically because the fighting is taking place in the city. and everybody is claiming control of everywhere. like for example, there are be support forces and tell you way in control of the airport. this is done. unfortunately, you know, we are the ones in control of the airport. so if clashes begin at the apple, who do you blame, who is supposed to be held accountable, you cannot hold anybody accountable because everybody is saying the are the ones in
8:05 am
control of that area. and everybody will blame the other side for, for, for, for tracking them. so for that reason, it is very difficult to, to say this is fire with hall. however, because of the price up from the power like to us. of course, the, i hope that may be the, the wording parties or the fighting fractions will now at least listen because this is now pressure coming from the us. and perhaps that will so many countries that are also pushing for these, this is 5 to 2, whole number 3 is that also they tie it. you know, fighting is not an easy thing for these past many days that have been fighting. it has been exhausting. so perhaps these factors will help in ensuring that they did this, the fire holes, and against that backdrop. we have seen some people are choosing to leave if they are able to do so. also international diplomats agencies, governments, they have been pulling people out of sudan. how difficult have these moves been?
8:06 am
it has been very, very difficult, very, extremely difficult by the world because they have to doubt been fighting and international apple. they are come to me to national apple is in the middle of the city near the. i mean, you don't have the presidential fall is near the national security for that. and this is where fighting has been taking place. so it hasn't been difficult. that's why most of the equation that took place, you have to what done by the military to various countries, whenever you as a german or on auto or a u. k, and so forth. now, the other route has been bought. so don, east, i'm that route is a long one, e t t more than 700 kilometers. there are blocks along the way, mind by the friend i'm groups. and then when you're traveling there, it takes you at least more than you know, 8 hours. if you're driving up more than 100 meters per hour, but of course with,
8:07 am
with a large point where you can drive very fast and with so many checkpoints. so it has been taking people more than 24 hours to go to parts to sit down and be of acquainted from there. so it has been extremely, extremely difficult. but now of course with, if i told you 5 holes, then at least something can be done. mental health, this is nice. people were talking to me. they're running out of water. they're running for hospital, do not have supplies. the human interior agency is that normally with a center or hospitals are not able to get out on health. how about things like, like, i mean, you mentioned, you know, medical capacity is serial fairly seriously restricted. how about things like food, water, very basic needs that civilians have these, these are very challenging times now because the markets don't exist, for example, markets up being bomb destroyed and even if they did exist, would be there anyway, there is nobody there on that. on monday, if you will, that cover is open and the cues along those, those, those 3 to add it,
8:08 am
but that is open. why? very, very long. not only that, charlie also is the bonds are multiple national mobile after that people could use to access money. i'm not promotional now, because the bank, some of them have been bomb the stuff, i'm not able to get to the bank. so people do not want people to not have water. water infrastructure has been destroyed and also electricity at this time. in sudan, the temperature goes beyond 40 degrees chevy. very hot, many depend on air conditioning, at least we'll have some and also warn you going to see, but all these out of italian because power is also not in parts of the, of the city. thank you. so much journalists, patrick, or you're following the situation there in sudan. you're joining us from juba in neighboring south sudan. we appreciate your reporting. here are some other stories making news around the world. canyon president william

8:12 am
you, governments agree to buy the munitions from firms within the block, as well as from none e. u. member norway. but france, 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, ah, european 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. european leaders meeting at this year's north sea summit in belgium have signed off
