the armies approval of a 3 day extension to the current ceasefire. the paramilitary r s f has so far offered no response to the proposed truce. but they have clashed with to dan's military on the outskirts of the capital. cartoon. many thousands of civilians are trying to escape from sudan while the shaky truth hold. but for many sudanese, unable to leave a situation as graham rushing to find food in a lull in the fighting after days trapped inside here in hall tombs. twin city on demand resident say it's harder and harder to get basic essentials and even a 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 amid the deteriorating living conditions. how you would adul

fuel the lavon as you have a good idea across the river in hot tomb. supermarket shelves already running bare business own as a warning that if the fighting doesn't stop, goods will soon run out or not more than 4 or 5 days more than that. and there will be no supplies. left fuel is also hard 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 air strikes on wednesday, despite the 72 hour cease fire, but with relative calm, raining and 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 evacuation 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 off to horrific journeys. plenty that flood. i got separated from my 7 children and i can't find them had i. we have some parents massacred by our malicious fin. nobody's at indiana. we are victims of gratuitous barbarism that we do not understand. yet i may be like that a sub i sent an engagement of sedans. even poor, a neighbor to the west was already home to some 400000 sudanese refugees. the un says its ill equipped to take in more, but unless the armies offer of

a longer truce is accepted by both sides, many more refugees likely to arrive soon. so what more do we know about the situation for a civilians in sudan including the capital cartoon? earlier i asked journalist patrick, oh yeah. who's tracking events from the south? sydney's capital, juba. what he is hearing the lug pipe. so 5 to him as being quiet, people went out, they bought a few things, some shops, and some markets up open. however, of course, there was a lot of concern, especially in the title of man where yesterday 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 40 in the city. so it is for now why i bought things continue. the time the army for its part says that it has agreed to extend the cease fire or the rival paramilitary forces

likely to follow, especially given these renewed clashes that we have 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 agree because the old place, or that is coming from very many blocks example that the governmental authority and development, which is the region the which danny's and by the way. 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 and agree to another, extended fire and touch open, at least with unity for, for some form of talk. we are hearing especially the government of south. so then

say to the e, get 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 and a little bit of a rhythm, there's a cease fire, announced the fuse fire then you know, doesn't hold. that breaks that crashes 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 this is fire 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 will be taken to your hospital issue or that agent go out and provide aid to people. you need that. what

now that has also been successfully done. and also some people have money to go to the hospital except that you know, now have supply because the medical store has to be an appeal pharmacies are running out of stock to that. and that is telling you now the 2nd a most the fire. now that many people are talking about is to ensure that some form of negotiation in some talks begin. and the reason why these things fire is not holding belly because everybody is claiming that they are controlling. whereas everybody knows if you actually controlling the national television, which is in my way of fighting, taking place and support for those that were controlling down government control. so if you're fighting there you for member of the international community,

you cannot tell who has violated because everybody is claiming. so also the sci fi is expanded, 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 we have, you don't move from point a to point b, then you can now start knowing what is violating who's on to some mechanism where people can have countable. and then also you can now spot it validation where you can have some principle collaboration with that. ok, now we're going to be going to do it. so yeah, so, and this is why analysis i can see being talked about so that some form of negotiations. journalists, patrick, i, thank you so much for putting that into context for us about the situation in sudan . we appreciate it. a ron supreme court has upheld a death sentence handed down 2 in iranian german dual national, jumped to 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 alina burbock has called the sentence unacceptable, saying that he did not get a fair trial. his family insist that he is innocent, and they accused a wrong of kidnapping the long time us resident and regime critic. earlier d w spoke with his daughter gazelle shar mod. we asked her if germany is doing enough to put pressure on ron's government. i think it's great that our foreign minister decided to speak up. it's great to have been more global now. that's never happened before with our previous foreign minister. i don't think words can change a terror. christian. 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 the

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 government to show where they are. red line is when their citizens abducted and taken their and tortured, put the sham trials, and are about to be executed. what are they willing 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 co operating 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 was gazelle sham, had speaking with us earlier, let's get more on the situation. matthew more he w up political correspondent is joining us now from berlin. so we just heard there

. matthew jumped charm as daughter saying that germany is doing too little to help . what has germany done so far with this particular case? well, back in february when sherman was initially sent, and sarah, germany summoned the iranian, and iranian ambassador embassy official to explain the decision and went on to declare to diplomat persona non grata and ordered them to leave the country. so they've been putting pressure on iran, diplomatically and the, and at the time, the site of the cold, a massive breach of mr. cher, match human rights officials basically from the outset of condemned shamary treatments and the strongest possible term saying that he's not been given a fair trial at any point. and, and basically with that, with this, the condemnations and exposure to try to ramp up the pressure. but so far we've seen the limits of diplomacy. and yesterday, when this confirmation came in from the supreme court analynn a babel, the foreign minister said that germany's ambassador to iran had cut short a work trip to return to tear ran to intervene in mister cher mats. case,

part of the problem though, is mr. shamar is a jewel, national, and iran does not recognize jew citizenship. so as far as they are concerned, it's none of germany's business. and what worries jumps should show mad families. we hear that in jam and january of this year, authorities in iran executed a british iranian man despite international protection outcry, and naturally the fear, the same fate a wheat cher mad. given all of that, matthew, how is his case being discussed in berlin right now. this been widespread outrage at mister shimaya's case at the head of the opposition c. d u party frederick met as it happened as jumps should shimaya's political sponsor. and he expressed shock at the news and called on reading authorities to quote, let mister shamar come home to germany. later today, there'll be a protest in front of a german chancellor here in the capital with supporters of mister sherman, holding on lords and power to do all the kind to home this case. matthew,

more did have you political correspondence in berlin. thank you. for your current president, volota mears, the lensky spoke of the new energy in relations between ukraine and china. following his phone call with chinese president, she's in ping on wednesday. it was the 1st contact between the 2 leaders since russia embedded ukraine last year. the chinese foreign ministry says that it will send a delegation to keith to seek a political settlement to the crisis. president polanski has also appointed a new ukrainian ambassador to beijing the 1st in more than 2 years. a long awaited conversation between she and zalinski is regarded as a step forward and strengthening their diplomatic ties. jo, mostly there is an opportunity to use china's political power to reinforce principles on rules that peace should be built on the similar ukraine and china.

like the absolute majority of the world are equally interested in the strength of sovereignty of nations and territorial integrity, seriousness. and let's bring ended, of course on an economy has joining us from cave. nick, how big a deal is this conversation? what's been the reaction? i think the crucial thing his area is the fact that this call even happened. we've been waiting for this call for months now. there was a law speculation that it would happen after shipping went to moscow in march back then it didn't happen. so this is a sign that china is still willing to engage with ukraine, that china believes in ukraine, sovereignty. you remember that with those very controversial comments recently by beijing's ambassador to paris talking about this. in fact, the most post soviet countries weren't really fully sovereign and didn't really deserve that kind of status. so there is that kind of showing up the relationship, but i think it's all about demons, imitation from the grain perspective, about stopping china,

helping russia more full heartedly. right now. china is popping up rushes economy buying a lot of energy that used to go to the west, but they're not supplying weapons on a large scale. and that is something that people here and keep, are very worried about because china is, let's be clear. basically the only country that has the depth, the resources to really keep brushes on me afloat in terms of munitions, in terms of the kind of high tech stuff they need to keep on building cruise missiles and other difficult high tech systems. and if you look at the kind of noises coming out of beijing, they've talked about the importance of going to was piece, maybe trying to come to kind of some ceasefire as early as possible. that is something that really worries people here because from a ukraine perspective, that is basically about freezing the situation as it is now. and that is something that replays to rushes, kind of, demands rushes, requests at a time where you crane is thinking about going into a counter offensive. they're trying to kind of avoid that. avoid going into some kind of negotiation that would stop them going to counter offensive, but try and keep china on site trying to engage china to prevent them putting their

full support behind russia. they're trying to recapture their territory on neck and, and what is the latest on that? tell us a little bit more about the action frontline, especially given that we are expected to be seen so called spring offensive. well indeed, and we've been hearing a lot about that and the more you hear about these expected projected offensive, the more skeptical you get, we had that last year when we were told or some of that now next week, next month, something would happen in the end it only happened in the autumn, but certainly there is a lot of pressure on ukraine to show that all these western weapons are arriving here are being used in that they can achieve a result that supporting ukraine is worthwhile. so there's definitely that pressure on the ukraine government as rebuttal, we've seen a took pre crane general in the city within the last 24 hours. we believe what it is. that's what they're saying. the city is still held by ukraine in green. it constantly is investing a lot of manpower and fire power to keep the roads in and out open. but it is a very difficult situation in that situation where people are dying in large

numbers regularly. and that discussion about whether it's worth keeping buttonwood never really stops here in kia. but for now, they believe that it is because it is holding a lot of russian forces. they're all trying to get the city, but haven't managed now for months and months. and if there is a sense that if this count offensive does happen, it won't be in that part of the country, the more likely be in the south, but by what has become a symbol and your presence zaleski is in no mood to give it up. and to see russian flag and flying of a boat, nick connelly and keith, thank you, neck now the mining of harbors and coastal waters has long been a feature of war. and ukraine and russia have accused each other of being responsible for mines now drifting through the black sea. nearby countries like romania are monitoring their waters to diffuse them. but fishermen now go about their work fearing for their lives. it is funny for char reports, from romania as black sea coast. your to get on george. you lost his job fishing

on the black sea, but since to war a neighboring ukraine, his attention is on more than just mackerel and muscles. we've got a victo. yes, yes, i was over or did you see a my home and they said the love or no, no flamingoes. we're lucky. one, flamingo is the name of a fellow fishing vessel that most recently spotted a c mine. your again his team, the to fish, to make money. but his, as the fear of mine is making things difficult. with them all can we box night? we often fish for muscles, but that's limited. now, you can't go if it's foggy or if the moonlight is not bright enough. well, you have to stay in dock. we're afraid to go. why would you risk it? if we could, you could die if it was in the black sea has always been crucial for those who live on and from it. but it's also vital for those who passed through before the war. it

was the most important road for grain coming out of ukraine, but that war has made the black sea a terribly dangerous place. navy ship like this one are now past with monitoring for minds. and if using those, they find c minds that are floating on the black sea are relatively cheap to produce, but difficult to spot currents and waves can move them around or interact automatic winter. and gentlemen, what we'll do today is start the procedure to eliminate the mind that we just identified law on the water surface up when our overall box and i'm above upwards, a little regarded as olive as always act according to your training. i need you to get your diving suits on, be ready to get into the water and take action to remove this mine raw before the war and ukraine. the special is divers,

were tossed with diffusing sea mines from world war 2. but now they are facing new ones, whether originally planted by russia or by ukraine to defend their ports. the danger is de same with liberty, one, i'm glad our missions are highly risky due to what we're dealing with. minimum. the mine itself is a real danger. as arby explosive devices we use, therefore we have to approach it with extra care. we'll pick out today the risk level is lower. this is just an exercise. so the diverse are prepared for the next see mine, they encounter these beautiful romanian coastline. and constantine is just a few nautical miles away. soon it will be packed with tourists that was already here. have heard of the danger, i hope it will be safe. i can go with my family but not so deep may be 15th and mid that is from this hand, hopefully they will manage to keep it safe. hopefully this mine

contain 30 kilos of explosives. so far, those spots in the black sea have all been designed to be triggered by a boat, not a person even so the romanian navy is trying to keep all c minds away from the shore. they have found 5 since last year. one of them at the beach will be changed . mean an would it be as in boy, 5 is not a big in a moment. oh no more. but just one minute ending up in the wrong place. and on the wrong time can cause much damage and destruction. why? because we're talking about ships and infrastructure like pot for instance, twitter. the risk is always them what quantities come for? yeah, these were what he put his input on how you are the steam, where 5 before the war fear of mine has pushed a number down to just to it makes everything harder. i think it's more difficult to

fish much more difficult. these mines, if you catch what your net and bring it close to the ship, it could explode right next to you. that's what he's dangerous. but what can we do? we have to keep fishing to survive. yorg doesn't know how long he can keep his fishing business going. fear of see mines will continue long after the war in ukraine is over. now, spain is experiencing record heat. this a for all which the meteorological agency attributes to climate change. and the unusually high temperatures are exacerbating a long running drought, that poses risks to both people and wildlife. these tourists from england are getting a sneak peak of the spanish summer. we love a apathy lately. it's been so cold now where i am even with the dye, who went to the anvil. it was right. 80 degrees pouring with rain and wind day and

then we landed in out of it. you beautiful sun, so lovely. but many locals are less thrilled. it's already unbearable. it's only april if this is happening in april. what's it going to be like in june? it wouldn't be spain's 1st climate record of the year. last month. the country recorded it's dry is march into decades. the scorching heat, combined with a drop and rainfall has brought on a severe drought does hit spain's farmers the hardest. the dry conditions have increased the risk of wild fires. the heat wave poses a grave risk to local wildlife as entire rivers dry out. spanish authorities are racing to rescue the native fish population. steve
