overcome the fear of fleeting the house for the 1st time after 8 days of hiding and sheltering but that they, the streets were relatively calm. so we were able to go to the assembly point, and from there it went somewhat smoothly and we were able to go to the air strip and later on, pick off 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, were you, you were hearing, i presume gunfire outside, were you able to get out to get to 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, the d 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 the 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 sue dawn 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 a 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 or we heard as tracy or gunshots. and you know this, this, this sort of for immediate change was her surprise and a shock to everyone. maximilian got her from the good institute until recently, living in sudan. thank you so much for your time today. thank you. okay, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news. at this hour, afghanistan's taliban government has killed the islamic state. group leader thought to be behind the deadline. 2021. cobble airport bombing. the white house has

confirmed the killing some 170 afghans, and 13 u. s. troops were killed in that blast during the chaotic american withdrawal from afghanistan. the turkish president rich uptime add one has canceled his election campaign rallies because of a stomach virus. he said he would resume his campaign on thursday. turkish voters are set to elect a new parliament and president on the 14th of may and pulls a, showing a tight race between either one and his closest rival. and iran supreme court has up held the death sentence against and a rainy and german jewel, national on charges of what it calls corruption on earth. jam shed a sharma that was sentenced to death in february after the islamic republic. hard line judiciary convicted, him of playing a role in a 2008 mosque bombing and of planning other attacks. his family maintains his innocence. now we have some breaking news for you. chinese president,

she's in ping has spoken with his ukranian counterpart for laudermill zalinski on the phone. chinese state media, se, see told zalinski the beijing would focus on promoting peace negotiations and with send representatives to keep, to hold talks and resolve the crisis there. now, zalinski wrote on twitter that he had had a long and meaningful call with g. this was their 1st conversation since the war began. and we can cross straight to cave and speak to our correspondent that roman, gone to ranko. a roman this call was actually expected at the end of march at the 1st time that the ukrainian and chinese leaders have spoken. since president putin, russia invaded ukraine in, in february 2022. why did this call happened today? well, we do not know, we could speculate that maybe it had something to do with a,

a criticism of their remarks by the chamber. chinese ambassador to france were questioned there in independence of ukraine and other former soviet republics, indirectly and am. after that, there was harsh criticism in central europe and the government and key of refrained from harsh criticism or towards china because ukraine has been waiting for the school for over a year after, since the russian invasion actually. and it is extremely important that this conversation finally took place. it was a long conversation about an hour and a china would send a special envoy to ukraine or just a representative would not exactly what the diplomatic status of that representative would be, but not only to key if in it is reported, but also to other countries what countries it is not being mentioned that that moment so we don't have much details, but is, is very important. and a key of also announced that it will appoint a ukrainian ambassador to china. there was no ambassador from ukraine in china for

over a year. and so it looks like things are starting to move, and ukraine is expecting and may be something to come out of this because china is at a very important country for ukraine, especially after the visit of the present she to russia a few weeks ago. now the us hasn't worn china against providing lethal aid to russia. is this phone call a sign that check china? well, now send weapons to russia. well, this is the whole peering keith. i bought so we, we cannot the sure at the moment because we have no details if that question was discussed between the 2 presidents a zalinski and she m. so ukraine is em, very, very eager to discuss the, the war there, the russian war in ukraine with the chinese leader. because a, china is a close partner of russia. and because the chinese leader was russia, if you weeks ago and, and ukraine is also at some people in ukraine are not sure how neutral china can be

in this conflict. the are propositions that china made public in february about how a peace could be achieved in ukraine. and many of points in those propositions actually satisfy the russian view. and we do not know if, if china is m, is m open for, for propose proposals from ukraine, maybe to include more points. oh, china hasn't condemned the war. russia is or has started in ukraine, which is for ukraine, a critical issue. and it is absolutely unclear. how china seas that peaceful resolution. if china is, for example, for russian withdrawal from the occupied territories. and this is the key issue for ukraine. all right, brennan got drank a reporting from k. thanks so much the update. now people around the world a morning, the passing of harry belafonte, a, the singer accent,
