being prepared at the time. and this phone call, or also comes ahead of the much expected ukrainian offensive and earn it is it is now a question. how can we talk about the ceasefire or this is the word we're hearing today when ukraine is preparing a major offensive. this is a big question. i think this call am delivered to really concrete results, namely that, that china will sent a special envoy of your age and affairs towards ukraine. and i will try to help, you know, find a political solution towards the crisis. and secondly, china was sent humanitarian assistance, but the rest of the talking points and the rest of the rhetoric i would say, is not really new. and the overall position of china that it holds. a strategic alignment with russia has not changed. am. however, i think that we can help can only understand this cause from a chinese perspective. and when you have to understand that in beijing there's a lot of fear that the relationship towards the european will turn sour. and then m

a. china definitely wants to prevent m a trans atlantic alignment between brussels and washing. so i think this call is really to improve ties with europe and which is still the biggest trading partner with china. that was the dublin fabi in christmas reporting from badging and roman gone to ranko there in keith on a sedan. now we're fighting between the army and rival paramilitaries as flayed on the 2nd day of a supposed 3 date for us. some viewers might find the pitches in our next report, disturbing. this is what the current sees file 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 on demand 2 shells fell on to the building around lunch time on tuesday, enjoying at least 20 people waiting in the seats here. among them,

further questions about the 2 sides commitment to peace being released from did. so 2 generals continue trading accusations and issuing completing claims of control over cancellation. there is yet no an equivocal sign that either is ready to seriously negotiate, suggesting that both thing and securing a returning victory over the other is possible. 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 face of this crisis spreading into neighboring countries. many of them arriving in make shift camps in chat desperate for food, water, and medical attention with the un warning of the urgent need for a divorce is to help deal with the growing influx of people or sadness. journalist,

a consult the leaders of the importer supposed to be stopping the war and negotiating i don't see any way of actually bringing the tool to table and getting a deal for the sake. looking out some of the other stories making news around the world to sell. russia says one of its mig $31.00 fighter jets has crashed in northwest in my month region. the defense ministry said the crash happened in an unpopulated area during a training flight and both pilots ejected unharmed videos posted online show the play going. do you current president zalinski has commemorated victims of the 1986 to noble nuclear disaster. you know, so repeats warnings of a possible new nuclear catastrophe. russian forces are accused of using as apparition, nuclear power plant as a base to launch attacks on ukrainian territory. former

speak to the daughter of jam. she'd shamar gazelle sherman joining us from los angeles. thanks for taking the time to speak to us at this moment. can i start by asking how you are coping? and i'm still under shock, but trying to get through the day. i have to correct what was just that my dad was not convicted because of alleged role in any terrorist attack, even in the sonic regime. you have to have evidence to come pick somebody up terrorism. he was convicted of corruption on earth. and that's very important because corruption on earth can mean anything. i'm doing corruption on earth, but speaking right now you're doing corruption on bi reporting right now. so that's very important to understand this illegal system that they have put up there to get conviction, get death sentences for activists worldwide. and that's very important. i understand the correction. thank you for that. and wondering,

have you had any direct contact with your father and do you have any information on his health at this point at visibly not, i personally cannot talk to my father. and the last time i was able to talk to him was 2 years ago, and he has been in solitary confinement for 999 days. today to more is going to be the $1000.00 states completely alone and solitary confinement. my mom was able to talk to him 2 months ago. the last time in last year she was able to talk to him twice. so through these few phone calls, we know that he has been in solitary confinement. we know that they have taken away all of his rights and he has no legal. yes, no lawyer has no access to anybody. has no access to his medication that he has parkinson's and they don't give it to him on time. he has lost at 40 pounds a week. he has lost all of his teeth. we don't know if they've been knocked out or if they fell out due to malnutrition,

we know they're torturing him. and now that they've tortured him for 2 and a half years, they want to take away his life. and we're just sitting there and watching. and we, i don't mean us, we're talking about it. i mean, our governments were responsible for us were responsible to protect us, has just been watching so far. german foreign minister and alina barebones said, on her twitter page, the germany's ambassador in iran, was on the way to intervene with iranian authorities. she also called on the wrong to reverse the decision. do you think that could help? is that enough to help? i think it's great that our foreign minister decided to speak up. it's great to have been more global now that never happened before with our previous foreign minister. i don't think words can change a terror. refreshing this is the regime that kidnapped people like my dad from the, from outside of the ron, takes them over there. they should the should airlines,

the ukraine, and they poised them their own school girls and say they didn't do it. so this terrorist regime will not respond to any kinds of talks or diplomacy. we haven't seen it unfortunately. i wish this was, this was working. but what we need is serious pressure. we need to see an escalation. we need our governments to show where they are. red line is when the citizens are abducted and taken there and tortured, put through sham trials, and are about to be executed. what are they going to do when are they going to stop dealing with this regime and treating them like business partners? when are they going to do the right thing and work together with their life to put pressure on this regime to stop them from doing what they're doing? anything else is just cooperating with the regime? and that's why we got into this mess in the 1st place because we cooperated with them for 44 years. because my daughter, a jumpsuit jamal me,
