with to dance military on the outskirts of the capital. cartoon. many thousands of civilians are trying to escape from sudan while the shaky truce holds. but for many suit, knees unable to leave, the situation is graham rushing to find food in a lull in the fighting after days trapped inside. here in haul, tombs, twin city on demand, residents say it's harder and harder to get basic essentials on the really dumb when it comes to daily needs from bread and water to gasoline. the situation is getting worse each day, and the sudanese living in khartoum are all trying to get their families out and bid the deteriorating living conditionals. how you would adul, fizzle a lot. and as you have a good idea across the river in hong tomb. supermarket shelves already running bad business own as a warning that the fighting doesn't stop. goods will soon run out. well,

i'm not more than 4 or 5 days more than that, and there will be no supplies. left. fuel is also hot to come by and increasingly expensive, making escape from sedans, capital region difficult. the area has seen some of the heaviest clashes between the army and the rival power military rapids support forces. with new asked strikes on wednesday despite the 72 hour ceasefire but with relative calm, raining in, much of sudan countries have kept up the rush to get their citizens out. while their fragile truce still holds. china followed france and sending a warship to collect a vacuum ease. while hundreds of other foreign nationals have already been air lifted to safety. sudanese civilians are also taking advantage of the law and

fighting to try to escape. thousands have already fled here to chad. many after heretic journeys, when in that plan, i got separated from my 7 children and i can't find them. we have impairments massacred by our militias for no india. we have victim pituitary barbarism that we do not understand that a sub i sent a young guy. so don's, even poor a neighbor to the west was already home to some 400000 needs refugees. the un says it's ill equipped to take in more. but unless the armies offer of a longer truth is accepted by both sides, many more refugees likely to arrive soon. and journalists, patrick, has been following the developments there in sudan. he's joining us now from south

sudan from juba. patrick, what are you hearing about the situation for civilians right now and sit down the lug part so far to him as being quiet. people went out they bought a few things, some shops off and some markets up open. however, caused that there was a little concerned, especially in the title of man, is that a fighting has been going on this morning has been a little bit quiet, but you can tell the situation there can change rapidly since bought in the city. so it is for now why i but things can change the time. the army for its part says that it has agreed to extend the ceasefire. are the rival paramilitary forces likely to follow, especially given these renewed clashes that we've seen be quiet until now, and it's difficult to tell whether they will agree to the 70 to our mall,

sci fi or not. but it is most likely that they will likely because the old place that is coming from very many blocks example that the governmental authority and development, which is the region the which danny's and right away so that we can go now. because if i think they're not playing any on it, they need to be assisted. and then you have also from the african union, the european union, and the us saying, you know, a fire should be extended. so with all the pressure, it is likely that one positively agree to another, extended fire and touching up in a lease with unity for, for some form of talk. we are hearing especially the government of south dancing to the get angry. mandy have actually said that they want to open up the new web in general and have i have been acting on themselves, talk directly between themselves to try to end the violence. things have settled

though, we have to say patrick, as we've been observing in the past week into a little bit of a rhythm, there's a cease fire. announced the cease fire then, you know, doesn't hold, that breaks that questions become renewed. just put this into the bigger picture for us. now, what are the aim of the cease fires and what is it likely to take for the fighting to and more concretely? number one, the reason for the sci fi was to many terry, and that is to ensure those who wanted to leave a sudan would leave to ensure that the hospital would be, you know, talk to or that the wounded would be taken to your hospital issue or that agent go out and provide aid to people what you need, that what now that has also been successfully supposed to be done. and also some people have the money to go to the hospital except that, you know, now have to apply the medical and if you from i see that running out of stock to

that and that he's telling you now this 2nd aim of the fire. now that many people are talking about is to ensure that some formal negotiation in some talks begin. and the reason why these things fire is not holding is basically because everybody is claiming that they are controlling. whereas everybody knows if you ask, is controlling the national television, which is on my way of fighting or taking place and so forth. and we're controlling to down government control. so if you're fighting there, you are a member of the international community. you cannot then who has violated because everybody is claiming, so is also the sci fi is extended, then there can be a mapping of people to be honest. and some verification mechanism can people, when you declare where you are, and then there's the ok. now,

we have gone from point a to point b, then you can now start knowing who is violating who's on you got to some mechanism where people can have countable. and then also you can now stop it by the nation where you can have some principle declination of that. ok? now we're going to be going to do it. so yeah, so, and this is why analysis that can be being talked about so that some form of new systems, journalists, patrick, i, thank you so much for putting that into context for us about the situation in sudan . we appreciate it. in other news around supreme court has upheld a death sentence handed down to an iranian german dual national. john should sharma was convicted for his alleged role in the 2008 bombing of a mosque in the southern iranian city of shiraz. earlier this year, germany's foreign minister on atlanta burbock has called the sentence unacceptable

saying that sharma did not get a fair trial. his family insisted he is innocent and they accused him of kidnapping the long time us residence and regime credit for denied access message. at earlier we spoke with his daughter, jasmine sharman. we asked her if germany is doing enough to put pressure on iran government. 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 the kidnapped people at my desk 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 their citizens are abducted and taken there and tortured, put through sham trials, and are about to be executed. what are they getting 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. and that again was cell shaw, my daughter of a german iranian sentenced to death in iran. well now we're going to have a look at some other stories making news around the world. the u. s. and south korea have pledge to increase deterrence, cooperated in the face of north korea's nuclear threats. the agreement comes after
