a cease fire looks like in sudan. this by promises of a 72 hour pause in fighting more bloodshed, according to officials here at the our roomy medical center in om damon, 2 shells fell into the building around lunch time on tuesday, enjoying at least 20 people waiting in the seats here. among them, a pregnant woman, i awnings on will of all, the hospitals closed on and we were still working here, thought lisa, the business was running in a good way, a fellow, but a shell came in as you can see her through up an exploded young arkell alcantara, all patients who was sitting on the seats were injured below the knees. get him into through the us bro, could 3 day truce between the army and power. military rapid support forces does however, appear to have brought some com to the sudanese capital car to him. but many

residence is still fearful to leave their homes. they have seen previous attempts to bring stability to the country. largely fail says the outbreak of fighting more than a week ago. and doubt this time will be different. did it? the city that is the descent, visited and at a meeting of the un security council on tuesday, the un special envoy to sit on res. further questions about the 2 sides commitment to peace is being released from did. so to general rules, continued trading accusations and issuing competing claims of control over canes. to wish sir is yet no an equivocal sign that either is ready to seriously negotiate, suggesting that both thing and securing a military victory over the other is also the shaky cease fire has allowed many countries to carry out mass evacuations like saudi arabia,

which brought over a 1000 people from more than 50 countries by boat to jetta. the thousands are also fleeing across the dons borders. leading to phase of this crisis spreading into neighboring countries. many of them arriving in makeshift camps and chat, desperate for food, water, and medical attention with the un warning of the urgent need for aid and resources to help deal with the growing influx of people. to more on the story we can speak to i b l o l dang. she's an international development consultant is following what's happening right now in sit on welcome to d w, where we're hearing that sedans paramilitary, rapid support force, as they are said are said, have broken into several prisons, including kind of a prison, where an icy c wanted prisoners were being held and we're hearing that some details these have been released. can you help explain to us why the r s f would do this?

yes. well, it's nice to be here. honestly, the reports are bit conflicting because other reports have stated that it wasn't our stuff. it was the s s, but most of the reports have stated that it was the stuff that liberated them. and there could be a number of reasons, but it is, it is the recess. the main reasons would be that they have allegiances to certain people who are detained, such as of perhaps, or not, how to. and they also would be perhaps looking to create chaos, perhaps if they feel that they're losing a big ground, that they might go and find some people who are former military or former paramilitary who might be able to, to join them or to who might be willing to broker some broker, some power in their favor with maybe certain ethnic groups or in within certain areas. so for the recess, if they did indeed break into the prisons, it could be a power play to further the stabilize the s. s. credibility and hold on on the

countries wherein day 2 of a 3 day truce. it remains extremely fragile. reports of continuing ass strikes. so why is it so impossible for these warren generals to hold a 70 to our truth? well, i think it's just as the un envoy with it and said there is no genuine desire to reach a deal. each side really wants to come out on top. and even if there are concessions to be made, it's clear that they are both generals and both actions are unwilling to be decide that has to make them a strategic concessions. and frankly, i think that they probably think that they can still win to a certain extent the battle and it's, yeah, and so i think that's probably one of the reasons why. and lastly, i would say that just due to the nature of this urban fighting, particularly also with her military fighting and in areas the civilian and the

country in which many civilians are armed. it must also be quite difficult for them to stop the fighting as well. so no appetite for peace. how high is the risk of this conflict spreading through the region? would you say it's incredibly high? i would say at the highest, we do know that they're already. the chatty and government announced that they just aren't several 100 armed people. we don't know to which direction they belong to, tried to cross the border. we know clearly the history of sudan and south to don tensions. and the student area idea which is in between the 2 countries where the last the, which was the last time the 2 countries thought that could also perhaps be reawakening of that conflict or, and even just tension within south today, due to the large number of nice refugees and sudan rule now need to likely go back then. there's also obviously the ethiopian gray conflict,

which could also reignite with more armed actors in the area. an extremely concerning situation. i. b o lou, l dang and international development consultant. thanks so much for your time. you're welcome. all right, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. the jailed russian opposition leader, alexei, nevada. ne says that he is facing up to 35 years on new charges of terrorism. russian investigators have linked his supporters to the mother of a popular military blogger and st. petersburg. this month, val knee is already serving 11 and a half years on previous charges. singapore has executed a man for conspiring to smuggle a kilo of cannabis despite please from his family, the clemency tag reduced to pi. i was sentenced to death by hanging in 2018. the un

human rights office for singapore had also urged authorities to reconsider his sentence in march to a japanese start up says it's luna lander has likely crash landed on the moon. the firm called ice lace was hoping to pull off the 1st commercial moon landing. but it lost contact with the spacecraft during its final descent. only american russian and chinese space programs have successfully landed on the moon. now russian casualties have fallen by around 30 percent a day this month. that's according to british intelligence. official say, is his likely due to the end of moscow's winter offensive footage, released by the russian ministry of defense claims to show artillery units supporting a ground operations in the mood. now the city which is an eastern ukraine, has been at the center of fighting for months with neither side making any significant territorial gains. despite the current impass,

hundreds of thousands of ukrainians have been called up to fight t w's. nick commonly traveled to the dunbar front lines earlier this month to find out how ukraine's citizen soldiers dealing with life in the trenches, often under constant fire. a spring turns wet, snow to mud, keeping upright is even harder than it looks. this forest might seem empty, but it's actually full of soldiers all on the lookout. so to keep almost it down, because near here the russians are just a matter of a few 100 me to wait. yvonne and his friend are in a forward position without leaves on the trees, it feels exposed, but at least they can see russian units when they approach soon they'll be better hidden, but so will the other side. i call it the hook. the hardest thing is, when it's too quiet, it means the russians could be coming on foot. let the utensils be so at least when

they're firing at us, it means i not sending any of them. people are way luckily with the whole summit because we're going to be posted. yvonne will be here for 2 days. 2 nights. that might not seem long, but it's intense and exhausting. 2 hours on watch than 2 hours sleep, then watch again, powered by heat backs and energy drinks. did you feel like, oh this is are forced out on the over there? that's the 3 dog. it's still a work in progress. i said on the 1st day we got here in the shells, hit 2030 meters away. it was incredibly loud, and you could feel everything around you. shaky wilson tuition like hundreds of thousands of ukrainian service people. yvonne had never held a rifle before the russians invaded last year. citizen soldiers like him having to learn fast, lo moses and says to be used to what you have to keep positive of, keep your spirits up for fire mold, otherwise he won't last long, long. it's not like we can call our mothers to come and pick us out. oh yes,

only why me blisters of them. i'm gonna leave them at all. but those are the things that for this is the main dug out, a cave blasted into the hillside. it's warm and dry and feel safe after the constant stress outside this time the space here to take a breath force was less so you force, we'll get children's drawings like they sent to us and why no one would ever throw them away. leave a few. we keep them with this drawing is from a ukrainian child who's a refugee in germany. was there was a letter thanking us for protecting the same were lulu. hopefully these children will be able to come home soon with lowest speed you. i'm so poorly lagoon

with, you know, he threw the choir over last year, but right at the beginning of which we found out my wife was pregnant. i became a father during this war. this was i had, i got leave to be there for my son's birthday, but i didn't make it in time. so it all, i was still traveling from the training camp when he was born, remove your numbers to threaten your were recording the idea that they're fighting russian now. so that children don't have to is something you hear a lot from ukrainian soldiers. no one he believes that russia is going to negotiate in good faith. this armored personnel carrier is normally used to bring out the wounded. it knocks its passengers around so much. the soldiers joke, many of the wounded because new injuries on their way to safety. de la virginia had lots agitated where he had 247 wilcox waiting, who call out all his go,

where basically an ambulance service. justin, you know that we run the risk of being killed, doing our job to meet what not pay me of should i damage we honey a to casualties and more than a dozen wounded near us just yesterday at. um, well i bought out got 3 and everyone's nerves are shattered. to come up from the law, says diana looney, ocean sydney, starlight soldiers with extreme psychological trauma, are evacuated out to ross tells us the most have to keep going with the pills or as much help as they can expect in his civilian life. to rest worked as a neurologist in knows his way around a medicine cabinet party. jessica shaw, i'm sorry. can you put these are all antidepressants and anxiety medication when you upon you must dishes shem of i put all this together myself and provide them to any one who needs them. is the symptom which is given that we can only hope to manage the symptoms that he was not the best treatment for anxiety, depression, and stress induced condition is to avoid the trickle into your lives during wartime

because that's just not possible. nissan see a 1000 euros ships. yeah, i recommend these to every one or a vomiting millennium as washer furthermore, akeem not boys him, so he's she'll, she'll be a boom. and it's not the patients that are feeling the strain. so to those working here to rest hills as he to has started taking antidepressants fits his will, began over a year ago. he's only seen his family for a few days at a time. c o o. in eunice, it shows that of sierra, everyone you've met here so far you were all civilians long at all. sure. my bill is, you know, with all been cold up, should i to advantage part of that most a physics are professional soldiers when a full issue shows to know that that might be the 0 me after that and out doing where good. so further detail is nick connelly had filed that report joins us now

from keith. hi, nick. i mean some really intimate insights there in says soldiers lives on, on the front. what was it struck you most about? what you heard from the people that you spoke to when you were filming that report? i think the thing that you really pick up all 1st is quite how normal those explosions become. people just don't flinch unless it's a matter of a few dozen meats away. people just go on about their lives as normal. that is their daily reality thing. there's a lot of dark chew. my thing, it's here as one of our plans, they said the only way you can cope with everything that's going around serial sets of closeness between people that you don't get if you go 1020 kilometers away from the front lines. that danger really brings people together. we spent quite a bit of time with them. there wasn't really a sense they were acting for us. so kind of hiding stuff. there was generally a sense of kind of camaraderie looks as people had just arrived those and maybe would be different after time. but there is a, so a sense of determination that for lots that may be, it came as

a surprise that ukraine has done as well as it has. it has be able to hold up and they were willing to carry on. as we heard from them, you know, they had very normal line jobs in their previous slides. and how are they coping with their new reality? is it's a matter of taking antidepressants. well i think it's important said that you have really, people from the most kind of varied courage or people who are working in construction. poland who came back to fight, you have people who are working bank isn't consultants. and kids who just come back from exotic holidays when the war began. so that really is a very diverse group of people and everyone you talk to their say is that basically no training can really prepare you for the reality of being on the frontline. that is something you have to go through, people, we saw them front lines, none of us seemed in need of medication and certainly didn't admit to it. but of to that doctor from a different unit. there gave a different tail, albeit a slightly different part of the front lines. i think it's really kind of down to

the individual how they're able to process how that much their family and that kind of the people back home are able to understand and talk to them about what they're going through. and crucially, how much time they get off their the doctor we spoke to the had only seen his family for a couple of weeks in the space of a year. longer time of sea allows people to really get away from that stress and to kind of we connect to the families. but right now it doesn't look like you know, ukrainian sources and get much time off for the civil future in you paint a picture of sort of real resilience amongst these shot soldiers and ukrainians have certainly shown extraordinary determination in the last year during the war. but i mean, how much longer can this go on for how much longer console just like this hold al in the situation that therein well, it's certainly case that everyone there just takes this one day at a time. no one wants to make plans or really imagine how long this could go on for . but there certainly wasn't an appetite. and when people we spoke to for some kind

of deal, some kind of deal that would freeze the conflict where it is now. that's exactly what russia wants, what the kremlin wants, and people that were convinced that that would just allow russia to regroup and then carry on. they're convinced that russia still wants to take will of ukraine and not just parts of ukraine surgery. but there was certainly new and honesty that the adrenalin, the 1st few months was gone. people were having to be more effect about the way they use their energy and looked after their health. and there was a bit of criticism from people there about people back home when they got that leave that lots people here in place like here, kind of felt like life had kind of almost got back to normal. there was a sense there, the not every one and you granny, so she was giving them the support and the back up that they needed next. thank you so much for that. as nick connelly reporting from keith now we spoke to robert and for an earlier he's the head of the federation global initiative on psychiatry, which provides mental health support in the ukraine. and we asked him about the

best ways for coping with war trauma. the best way to have and you're just trauma is of course if you have a possibility of getting all the anxiety and stress of your chest, which is impossible when you are in the front line. secondly, it would be sufficient time for rotations, for people to take a leave from the front line. and this is a big problem because people are very often in the stressful situations for a long period for months in a row. and the result is that if they go home on rotation, that the conditions of living at home are in a way stressful again, because they're back with their family. we haven't and you are well de, endured. a lot of them have complained that they cannot even sleep because it's silent. they're used to sleeping with the bombing. and then the silent is suddenly, you know, the desk everything. and also the feeling of guilt because they are suddenly

temporarily in a safe situation. but they know that their buddies are at the front, and many of them just want to go back in order to fight again. it's robert lawrence speaking to us earlier. now the white house as the taliban in afghanistan have killed the alleged mastermind behind a suicide bombing at a couple at port in 2021. the attack came during the chaotic american withdrawals from the country as crowds packed the airport trying to flee the taliban. some 170 guns, and 13 us troops were killed in that last us official said, the suspect behind the bombing was a key islamic state militant for the groups. afghanistan based branch journalist. alas, he joins us now from cobble. allie, can you remind us of the circumstances under which the suicide bombing took place back in 2021? so this happened towards the end of the us occupation when thousands of people were heading towards the airport from different cities and provinces of the country.

they had spent days outside in the airport and the closer they ought to the airport . it was either the tall barn or us back, former ca forces that would shoot at the shooting the air towards them though. beat them with pipes and sticks and things like that to keep them out of the airport towards the end. d says he, i, backed, i've on forces, would take bribes to let people into the airport. i and basically inflict other kinds of violence and abuse and intimidation towards anybody else that they felt shouldn't get near the airport. so it was, it was a really harrowing situation at a time when the us british and i think even the german forces were all still in of honest on indefinitely within the airport grounds. now, white house officials have called this action taken by the taliban. significant, do you have any other details about this man's death?

no, so the only information is coming from us sources and all it says that it was an early april and that the u. s. didn't have a hand in it, but that as you said, that it's significant, that's it. that's all that we know because the government here has not said anything about it. okay. so we know that the, the, the van was a key islamic state militant for the groups. afghanistan based branch, what level of security threat does the islamic state currently pose in afghanistan? they definitely still suppose a security threat. you know, we've seen them attack places of worship, we've seen them attack the streets, you've seen them even take out the governors belonging to the current government. and even though to be fair, this law mc emory, you know, they have launched many operations saying that they've taken our so called diet forces. what we're seeing is that it's essentially a repeat of the former western dr. public where constantly them or if they were done with di is we, they are powerless now we rob them of their power and they can't really inflict any

damage. and then you see that, you know, days or weeks later they stage another attack. and so what it's showing is that even if you are a government made up of former suicide bombers and he wanted land mines, even you can't necessarily hold back another group of suicide bombers. so, you know, as much as this amik emerett wanted to say that, you know, safety and security will contact on someone's, they regain control. we're seeing that the so called dash forces pose as much if not more of a threat than they did during the us back to stomach republic. alina teeth in couple, thanks so much for your time. now israel has kicked off annual celebrations, marking 75 years of its independence. ah, the celebrations come rice off the memorial day, which is

a time to remember those lives lost in both war and millison attacks. now both events have traditionally served as moments of unity in a nation that has forced peace. it was since its creation that this year there have also been weakly mass protests against the government planned judicial reforms, which critics say threatened israel's democracy. the plans have deeply polarized the country a day meant for unified celebration this year, overshadowed by division, as israel celebrated a milestone in its independence. the st to tel aviv filled at protesters. tens of thousands demonstrated against plans by prime minister benjamin netanyahu, his government to make far reaching changes to the legal system. the government said it would restore the balance power critics hair. it would remove checks and threaten democracy. while we want to send

a very clear message to the israeli people, that not only are we celebrate independence, we want to make sure that this independence stays. we want to make sure that we stop the corrupt government from passing the judicial coo and taken our independence. this is a very clear statement through the government that we will not allow the just occurred to go through. it's a kind of celebration to say, this is our country. we want to give it away. and that to celebrate dumber christie went to dad's family and every like that we have in this country is due to the, our supreme court. so we fight for our able to be free in this country and to raise our kids as equal and you have equal rights. the legislation is currently on hold, while the government negotiates with opposition. nonetheless, weekly mass protests have continued for 16 weekends in a row. and with more demonstrations planned for the coming weekend,
