sedans and military on the outskirts of the capital. cartoon. many thousands of civilians are trying to escape from sudan on the shaky truth holt. but for many stood knees, unable to leave the situation as graham rushing to find food in a lull in the fighting after days trapped inside here in hartwell rooms, twin city on demand residents say it's harder and harder to get basic essentials and even head um, 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. hardly would idle fizzle a lot in the gym for the across the river in hot tomb. supermarket shelves already running bare business own as

a warning. the death of 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 hard to come by and increasingly expensive, making escape from sedans. capitol region difficult. the area has seen some of the heaviest clashes between the army and the rival, perry, military rapids support forces with new air strikes on wednesday, despite the 72 hour cease fire. but with relative. com, raining, and much of sudan countries of kept up the rush to get their citizens out. while their fragile true 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 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 militias, fin. nobody's at indiana. we have victims of gratuitous barbarism that we do not understand yet. i may be like that a sub i sent a young guy terribly sedans, even poor, a neighbor to the west was already home to some 400000 sudanese refugees. the u. n says it's ill equipped to take in more. but unless the armies offer of a longer truce is accepted by both sides, many more refugees a likely to arrive soon. and journalists, patrick lee as tracking to events from the south sydney's capital,

juba. i asked him earlier what he knows about the situation and car till yeah, like pop so 5 to him as being quiet. people went out. they bought a few things, some shops off and some markets up open. however, of course, there was a lot of concern, especially in the title of man yesterday. a fighting has been going on this morning has been a little bit quiet, but you can tell the situation there can change people, it seems bought in the city. so it is for now why i bought things continue to time. the army for its part says that it has agreed to extend the cease fire 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 pressure that is coming from very many blocks example that the governmental authority and development, which is the region which sedan ease 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 or that saying, you know, a fire should be extended. so with all the pressure is likely that one positively agree to another, extended fire and doesn't open a lease 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 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 these 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. 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 destroyed. and if you pharmacies are running out of

stock to that, and that is the challenge. now the 2nd most the fire now that many people are talking about is to ensure that some form of negotiations in some talks begin. and the reason why these things fire is not holding belly because everybody is claiming that they are controlling as well as everybody knows if you actually controlling the national television, which is in my way of fighting and so forth. and we are controlling down government control. so if you're fighting there, you are a member of the international community you cannot tell who has violated because everyone is claiming so it's also the sci fi is expanded, then there can be a mapping of people to be honest. and some verification mechanism can be pulled when you declare where you are and then they can now we have,

you don't move from point a to point b. then you can now start knowing what is violating who's on some mechanism where people can have countable. and then also you can now spot it validation where you can have some principle collaboration or critical that 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 systems, journalists, patrick, thank you so much for putting that into context for us about the situation in sudan . we appreciate it. and turning now to the war in ukraine and some of the developments there. keith says that a russian missile strike has killed one person and intervals least a dozen others in the ukrainian city of nikolai of ukrainian president, followed him. here's the landscape, says the missiles struck private homes and the high rise apartment building moscow has repeatedly denied targeting civilians. ukrainian president polluted marizza lensky and his chinese counterpart. she's paying have spoken by phone their 1st

direct contact. since russia invaded ukraine last year. so landscape called the one our conversation a long and meaningful call. we need the media or reporting that she told zelinski that negotiation is the only way to end the conflict with the war and ukraine is taking its toll on neighboring countries with mines drifting through the black sea and ukraine and russia both denying responsibility for them. nearby countries like romania are monitoring their waters to diffuse them. fishermen now go about their work, fearing for their lives. t w's funny for char reports from romania as lexi post. your to get on george, you lost his job fishing on the black sea. but since to war and neighboring ukraine, his attention is on more than just mackerel and muscles. victoria victo. yes, yes. i was a little did you see a my home and he said running a little boy. no,

no. flamingo is the lucky one. flamingo is the name of a fellow fishing vessel that most recently spotted a sea mine. your again, his team need to fish to make money. but his, as the fear of mine is making things difficult within them on can we box nights we often fish for muscles, boots that's limited. now you can't go if it's foggy. nothing 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? just because 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 pass through before the war. it was the most important route for grand coming out of ukraine. but that war has made the black sea a terribly dangerous place. navy ships like this one are now past with monitoring for minds. and if using those,

they find c mines that are floating on the black sea are relatively cheap to produce, but difficult to spot currents and waves can move them around roller. and so i told him as a one trip 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 i go back, then 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 law before the war and ukraine. the specialist diverse were tasked with diffusing c minds 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 the same. with the numbers of one grab or missions are highly risky due to what we're dealing with. minimum. the mine itself is a real danger,

as our be explosive devices, we use it. therefore we have to approach it with an 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 in constantino. it's just a few nautical miles away. soon it will be packed with tourists. those 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 meet us from this and hopefully they will manage to keep it safe. hopefully this mind contain 30 kilos of explosives. so far, though, spotted in the black sea have all been designed to be triggered by a boat, not a person even so the romanian navies trying to keep all c mines away from the

shore. they have found 5 since last year. one of them at the beach will be changed mean and would have busy board 5 is not a big in a moment of it on the more but just one minute ending up in the wrong place and on the wrong time can cause much damage and destruction what the gray i was talking about ships and infrastructure like ports for instance, put the risk is always them what quantities and come to have these proven fee. but as input on how you ought to esteem where 5 before the war fear of mine has pushed a number down to just to it makes everything harder. yeah, 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 when he's dangerous. but what can we do? we have to keep fishing to survive. yoga doesn't know how long he can keep his

fishing business going. fear of see mice will continue long after the war in ukraine is over. and let's hear now from jo hollis peters with a center for maritime strategy and security i kelly university. welcome to the program with this problem into perspective for us. how big is the threat from c mines in the region in and around ukraine since the russian invasion? good morning, it's something we don't know exactly actually. so both sides cute, cute each other for clamping mine and each other for not handling them properly. but we're not quite sure actually, how big the mind actually is. you, you've mentioned that there, and we heard it in our piece as well that ukraine and russia are each blaming each other for releasing the mines. what's your assessment on that level? it's clear and secret it's that ukraine mind coastal territory to,

to protect all of your around the area to prevent from, from blending. so that that's something that we know that's been recorded by russian intelligence agencies that several 100 mine would. but the ukranian tone, who during the storm were now drifting all around the lake. not highly likely actually because there were only very, very few minds. cheney discovered drifting around on the other side, the ukrainians plane, the rest. and for purposely putting these minds into the water, letting them drift away to undermine their state. and to prevent the international shipping from, from gain export from, from when we came. so that the status quo, we don't know exactly how many minds have been planted. whereas the,

and we don't know the except danger of really mine, how difficult is it to carry out the actual d mining? would you say demining is always a risky business and it's a time consuming business actually. and the something that depends whether you do it under, under threat, by an opponent or whether you do it in peace time that the different thing the different thing how, how many minds you want to clear. we want to get clear a certain area just to make it the risk bearable for passing through with, with naval units. it's something different and then making a problem mind more to make a profile again, so that a lot of ethics coming around that. but it is for sure in time

maritime safety expert johan is peters. thank you so much. you're welcome. and has a look at some other stories making news. the u. s. in south korea have pledge to increase the turns cooperation phase of north korea's nuclear threat. the agreement comes after us president joe biden hosted south korean president, you and so you all at the white house bite and warned that any nuclear attack by north korea would spell the end of the regime in pyongyang. our russian government critic alexis a volley says that he is facing new terrorism charges that would keep him behind bars for life. no volley with speaking at a court hearing by video link from prison. moscow has ramped up efforts to silence all descent since the russian invasion of ukraine last year. a wrong supreme court has upheld a death sentence handed down by an iranian german jewel. national young 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 insist that he is innocent and they accused a ron of kidnapping belong time us residents, and regime credentialer supports the shar mud. iran earlier we spoke, which is osha mod, daughter of shami shaw mud. we asked her if germany is going to do enough for 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 the more global now that 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 airline. ringback coin 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 governments 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 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 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 again was gazelle sharma, daughter of a german iranian sentenced to death in iran. spain is dealing with an unprecedented

heat wave for at this time of year, many places have already been hit by an unseasonably dry winter. spanish forecasters expect the heat wave to peak to day and into to morrow. this is a look at expected temperatures for thursday, with madrid soaring to 36 degrees celsius, sophia at 31 and palm a day my orca at 26 degrees. those numbers are all way over the average for this time of year. for some though, it's a welcome change. these tourists from england are getting a sneak peak of the spanish summer. we love it. absolutely. it's been so cold and wet. i've. i'm even the day you went to the angel. it was right 80 degrees for him with rain and windy and then we landed in our viet. you beautiful sun so lovely. but many locals are less thrilled.

it's already on bear bolts. 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 they've been using electric shocks to stun the fish before moving them to another river with higher water levels,

some 10 kilometers away. broken. but if it's possible, they'll be a mass die off if this isn't completed over the next few weeks or even months, due to a combination of low water levels and poor water quality in this section of the anya river. the heat wave is expected to peak on friday and that's here now from tony, but at as good a. he as a media or a large meteorologist in barcelona. welcome to the program and thank you for joining us. how unusual is this weather for spain? hi, good morning. it is you need well because we are not in a, in the hot period of the year. these temperatures are usually in indiana, june or july, but, but the night pre lease is not is not covered. how is that affecting everyday life? yes, of course, because a there are some,

some couches and some things that are not now prepare it to be exposed to, to high temperatures and did that now there's a lot of festivals, arden and activities a outside because in some it is very hard to, to have the discussion of estie, mouse and, and people are ex, it's experience experiencing temperatures that, that no matter what are the life a long term effects the long term, the 1st the bed is fortunately there, this hot b a will be in tomorrow and, and we are not in so much so we, we expect a, that temper was there during the next week, the next weeks it will decrease. so now the i thing dead, the effect on,

on health, it will not be worse than keeps these and she to been an or cause in summer because that when, when the 1st one comes, it is like a never ending salmon until until september, the, in this off of spain. thank you so much meteorologist, tony. better escort her, the appreciate it. okay, thank you very much. the us state of louisiana has come up with a novel way of rebuilding their shrinking marshland by using christmas trees. areas around new orleans have been sinking due to expanding areas of open water. so the discarded trees are being air lifted in to provide a barrier that allows the marsh habitat to thrive the project as seen as a wind for the environment. and also a good way for local residents to get rid of their used christmas trays every year
