but many residence is still fearful to leave their homes. they've seen previous attempts to bring stability to the country. largely fail says the outbreak of fighting more than a week ago and out this time will be different. did it? this is that if the decide visited and at a meeting of the un security council on tuesday, the un special envoy to sedan race, further questions about the 2 sides commitment to peace is being released from it. so 2 generals continued trading accusations and issuing competing claims of control over kin storage. there is yet no unequivocal sign that either is ready to seriously negotiate, suggesting that both thing and securing a military victory over the other is hostile. 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 sedans, borders, leading to fears 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. as we just heard that a 72 hour ceasefire in sudan has provided an opportunity for many countries to undertake mass evacuations by road. an ann siena. this includes germany, which has now ended its evacuation operation. after helping more than $700.00 people flee the country that included around $200.00 german citizens. according to the german defense ministry. now maximilian let go works for the german cultural organization. the good to institute. he was based in sudan,

but he was just evacuated any arrived back in berlin on monday. welcome to the w, mr. luke. i can you tell us about your experience of being evacuated from how to, how difficult was it to get out here the most difficult thing was probably to overcome the fear of leaving the house for the 1st time after 8 days of hiding and sheltering. but that they are, the streets were relatively calm, so we were able to go to the assembly point. and from there it went from what smoothly and lee were able to go to the air strip and later on take off at jordan. so when you say that you were, you'd been hiding inside for 8 days. just tell us a little bit about that. i mean, when you were hearing, i presume gunfire outside, were you able to get out to get get food supplies for example?

yes. well, 1st of all, we were sort of in a hot spot in america, which is also very close to the airport into the national airport. and of course we heard everything we heard the bomb shells. we heard the gun fights, we heard the air strikes everything. we smelled the smoke and saw the smoke. but yeah, we did not see much because we were hiding. we're not, we're not allowed here to go anywhere near the windows and, and yet we were one of the lucky ones, my wife and i because we had enough supply of food and water throughout the whole time. so we didn't have to go outside, but most people are not in that situation and they had to go outside and that was just a life threatening. did you at any point thing that you weren't going to get out that you wouldn't be evacuated?

as a good question. i mean, of course we've been true. we try to not think of this scenario. i understand. can you describe to us the situation in sudan in past month, you were living there? what was it? what was it like when the fighting 1st began? i mean, everyone knew that there were some tension between the 2 conflict parties, but nobody would have ever expected her catastrophe on that. that, that started on the 15th of april. i mean, people went outside in the morning to get some groceries and then came back and and everything are, you know, flipped upside down. and oh, we heard as tracy heard gunshots, and you know this, this, this sort of for immediate change was a surprise and a shock to everyone. maximilian that come from the good to institute until recently,

living in sudan. thank you so much for your time today. thank you. now, israel is celebrating its annual independence day marking 75 years since the formation of the modern israeli state. the events come a day after the country marked memorial day. now this honors the country's fallen soldiers and victims of terror attacks more than a 100 is railey air force. planes are taking part in a fly past and will be joined by pilots from germany, the united states and the u. k. now this year's events come amid soaring tensions with palestinians and some of the deepest political divisions in israel's own history. the country has seen weekly mass protests against a planned judicial overhaul by the right wing government. and germany is participation in the independence day celebrations, or

a new milestone in efforts to build on its post 2nd world war relationship with israel on his 1st visit to israel, his german chancellor. last year will i shall, it's reiterated. the sense of responsibility felt by every modern german government, for the security of israel and the protection of jewish life. joint remembrance of the victims of the show are german chancellor, all our shoals and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu light candles at a memorial site in berlin. from here, thousands of jews were deported to concentration and extermination camps by the nazis dodged on latin. that we and germany can say after the immeasurable crimes against humanity of the shore. that israel and germany, our friends, strategic partners and allies, that is a precious gift. it's by no means to be taken for granted for that we are very grateful to israel here is fear by the alliance of the 2

countries and their special relationship are the result of a decades long rapprochement after the holocaust, the mass murder of 6000000 jews by nazi germany, many israelis didn't want to have any dealings with the land of the perpetrators. but slowly, the 2 countries were able to move closer together. david ben julian, israel's 1st prime minister championed that process in 2008 angle america became the 1st german leader to address israel's parliament. the connected. it was a historic moment either by nath like every german government and every german chancellor before me was committed to germany special historical responsibility for israel security. firstly, the modern german states existence fundamentally depends on the security of israel

. she said, germany is in favor of the so called to state solution and continues to support the establishment of a future palestinian state alongside the state of israel. but there are also issues that strain relations between germany and israel. the 2 sides disagree strongly on israel settlement policy, which the german government has condemned repeatedly no chancellor, olaf sholtes and foreign minister and in a bare book have criticized netanyahu's, planned judicial reform critic. see the plan as a threat to the independence of the judiciary. and with that to democracy in israel us as partners who share democratic values and our close friends with israel. we are following this debate very closely and i will not conceal this with great concern. the independence of the judiciary is a valuable democratic asset school. nevertheless, for germany,

the relationship with israel is and remains unique and especially worthy of protection. ok, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. turkish president, wretched type ottawa has canceled his election campaign rallies due to a stomach virus. he said he would resume his campaign on thursday. turkish vote as a set to elect a new parliament and president on may. the 14th holes are showing a tight race between ad one and his closest rival. singapore has executed a man for conspiring to smuggle a kilogram of cannabis despite pleased from his family the clemency took a rad you. supplier was sentenced to death by hanging and 2018. the un human rights off as the singapore had also urged authorities to reconsider his sense of smart. the jailed russian opposition leader like say,

city and east in ukraine has been the center of fighting for months with neither side making any significant her territorial gains. despite the current impass, hundreds of thousands of ukrainians have been called up to fight. oh d w. now, currently travel to the dunbar front lines earlier this month to find out how ukraine's citizen soldiers a dealing with life in the trenches, often under constant fire. a spring turns wet snow to mud, keeping upright, even harder than it looks as forest might seem empty, but it's actually full of soldiers. all on the lookout surgical was down. this is near here. russians are just a matter of you are going to a yvonne and his friend are in a ford 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 them give you turns out to be so at least when they're firing at us, it means they're not sending any of their people away locally with the hot summer tickets for glenwood be posted. you 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 than watch, again, powered by heat packs and energy drinks. since you do article 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. a division like hundreds of thousands of ukrainian service people. yvonne had never held a rifle before the russians invaded last year. citizen soldiers like him are having to learn fast, lo, mrs. and says to be restored,

you have to keep positive. keep your spirits up for fire, lord. otherwise he won't last long. low hon if it's not like we can call our mothers to come and pick his uncle. he has only one me disposal nominalism and all that. elizabeth, exemplary. this is the main dug out. a cave blotted into the hillside. it's warm and dry and feel safe of the constant stress outside this time and space here to take a breath. for small is less the yield force. we'll get children's drawings like they sent to us. why no one would ever throw them away with, we keep them destroying is from a ukrainian child who's a refugee and germany was there was a letter thanking us for protecting the same were lulu. hopefully these children will be able to come home soon as you put your arms

on the board. lou to just push them empty. okay. you know, he's gonna require last year, but it 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 i was still traveling from the training camp when he was born. the move for you on august, the 3rd world cardinal, 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 who 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 backup new injuries on their way to safety. lydia jane had

lots that she did and we're here 247 wilcox waiting, who call out well basically an ambulance service just in, you know, that we run the risk of being killed doing our job to meet what, not plenty of channels we had here to casualties and more than a dozen wounded near us just yesterday, tumble of but out got to deal. everyone's nerves are shattered. to come up for us the jani ocean city, last night. soldiers with extreme psychological trauma, are evacuated out to ross tells us. but most have to keep going with the pills or as much help as they can expect. in his civilian life to ras worked as an urologist in knows his way around a medicine cabinet party. jessica shaw, and i'm sorry. can you put these are all antidepressants and anxiety medication when you upon you must use a shot shem of i put all this together myself and provide them to anyone 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 trigger. the young lad, during war time, that's just not possible mean isn't so you're throw nero's ship see him. i recommend these to every one. i thought i've already melanie up anyway in your mouth. wash them, let them all accumulate boys, him. so he's, she'll, she'll be a boom and it's not just the patients that are feeling the strain. so to those working here to ross tells us he to has started taking antidepressants. little kids . his will began over a year ago. he's only seen his family for a few days at a time. c o. when in ulysses, shes at our sierra, everyone you've met here so far. you were all civilians long at all. sure. my bill is, you know, with all being cold up, should i just wanted to put some of that mouse a fit. it's our professional soldiers who are in the floors issue. she'll still know that i'm, i'm going to 0 me after that and out doing where good. so for

them, as mentioned, he tell the is nick connelly had filed that report earlier and he told me what struck him most about the people he spoke to on the front lines. i think the thing the 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 humor that'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 philosophy 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 had for them, you know, they had very normal line jobs in that previous slides. and how as a coping with their new reality is it's a matter of taking antidepressants. well i think it's about to say that you have really, people from the most kind of varied career or people who are working in construction. poland who came back to fight, you have people who are working as bankers and 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've talked 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 tale a bit, a slightly different part of the front lines. i think it's really kind of down to

the individual how they're able to perceive 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 here, the doctor we spoke to, they had only seen his family for a couple of weeks. 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 souls and get much time off for the civil future em. you paint a picture of sort of real resilience amongst these shot soldiers and ukrainians of 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 can soldiers 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 was 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 or the kremlin wants, and people that were convinced that that would just allow russia to regroup and then carry on very convinced that were still wants to take all of ukraine and not just parts of ukraine surgery. but there was certainly new and honesty that the adrenalin to 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 of people here in place like here, kind of felt like life had kind of almost got back to normal. there was a sense that not everyone in you grainy such 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 the white house as the taliban in afghanistan have killed the alleged mastermind behind a suicide bombing at cobble efforts in 2021. now the attack came during the chaotic american withdrawal,

as crowds packed the airport trying to flee the taliban. some 170 afghans, and 13 u. s. troops were killed in that blast. u. s. officials said the suspect behind the bobbing was a key islamic state militant for the groups, afghanistan based branch allen, a t v as a journalist, and cobble and when i spoke to marya, i started by asking him to remind us about the circumstances surrounding that bum blast in a cobble 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, a bon, or us back, former cia 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. these ca, babylon 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 us on indefinitely with in 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 then 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 the security threat. you know, we've seen them attack places of worship, we've seen them unpack the streets. we've seen them even take out the governor belonging to the current government. and even though to be fair, the bombing emory, you know, they have launched many opperation thing that they've taken out so called dias forces. what we're seeing is that it's just actually a repeat of the former western back to republic where constantly the emery thing we're done with their power list. 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 people planted land, might even, you can't necessarily hold back another group of suicide bombers. so, you know, as much as the, on the camera wanted to say that, you know, safety and security will come to have on, on wednesday,

regain control. we're seeing that the so called days forces pose as much if not more of a threat than they did during the us back to some republic. i leave the tv in couple thanks so much for your time. number that you're up to date made and germany is out next time and you could mckinnon. i'll have see you again up, somebody out. thanks for watching. ah, with
