ah, ah ah, ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. the warring parties in sudan say they have agreed to extend a fragile truce. the army and rival paramilitaries have repeatedly broken the 3 day cease fire. thousands of civilians are leaving. others attract and running out of supplies are coming up, turkeys president edwin bounces back from illness as he faces

a tough election back. ah, matthew, how'd welcome? sedans, army and the rival paramilitary rapid support forces have agreed to extend the fragile trys for another 72 hours. but there's been more fighting in the capital, hot tomb and other areas. hundreds of people have been killed in the 2 big conflict . thousands of sidney civilians are still trying to escape, many of whom are unable to leave our short vital supplies as foreigners, head out millions of sudanese without the advantage of foreign citizenship, are left to fend for themselves. grabbing whatever they can to stock up on vidal supplies that are running out across the country. murphy more did more. there are no supplies. we're not receiving any new goods. no we,

there's nothing coming in. and any supplier that is exhausted, we cannot replace it. we hope that god will help the people here for i love a brother in and not shops and houses are being rated by armed groups for those who want to flee. one way out is through this land border crossing into egypt. but the path to that northern border from major cities like cartoon and on demand is long and dangerous. and fuel is scarce. a load though we need fuel. we have been here for 3 days, tuesday, wednesday, and today thursday. we don't know if the gas station will open on october on us as he can see. they opened the station until 2 or 3 cars and then they close it. laquata began to letting a fellow and without that fuel to escape the violins. those who live here must remain hoping the warring factions can be convinced to stop shooting. or

earlier i spoke to general patrick or yet in south sudan and asked him how hopeful he is the sci fi i can hold. well, people are not very helpful because the previous one did not really all wary and only that it provides on a put cheese deal for at least people to move those 12 links sedan. and that is the hope that they have. and they also have a hope that now it is, she moved from human italians, his fire to at least now is fire. that is supposed to provide an opportunity for the 2 generals to have an avenue to, to, to begin talking. and because not the whole country is, is really quiet. i've been fighting throughout as he gets reported. so that's, that's, that's really the challenge. the only thing is that part of the country has as it is with witness some, some class. and we did not prior to the sci fi us, so yes is

a welcome more, but really the course she has about what, what will happen? there are 2 types of problems. now, number one, around the room and you have the parties been 70 fighting forces. the ones who are really, you know, are continuing to fight like in, undermined in particular about here and so on. but then when you go to other parts like the west. so down now around that for you also have now as you know, other groups example we are hearing that we have some a couple keepers now trying to talk to one another using the kills, which is going on. the vacuum that has been created by the fighting to continue to create chaos, to loot and so on. and that's really what many people in this who dunwar fear in because there are so many groups on whenever you create a vacuum, the kids will just continue. so those are the issues,

but of course people are worried and, and many people continue to leave the country even in south down where we are now. the government is saying you just opened the fact in a border crossing points and on average, each of those crossing points receiving more than 500 people by day. so a lot of people are leaving sedan and are because they're not sure. oh, fall off of the ceasefire, holding for long and also the question is what? what happens next wednesday when day the 72 hours elapsed? i was better or yet speaking to me a little early on or target president richard. typo to one has reappeared after a short illness to open a russian built nuclear reactor at a one and russian president vladimir putin. both appeared via video them to unveil the power plant facility is expected to eventually meet about 10 percent of turkey's electricity needs. in the it's the 1st time, rather no one has been seen since he got sick at home during a tv interview. he's facing a tough election battle, as he seeks 3rd term in office. that election is not until next month,

but turkish citizens living here in germany have already begun voting. germany's population of experts is turkeys biggest. it could also play a crucial role in where the earth one is able to stay in power. germany is home to more than 3000000 people of turkish descent, around half of them hold the turkish passport and have the right to vote there during the last elections in 2018, 2 thirds of german turks voted for irwin case in turkey. my children, for example, can go to a public hospital. they're free of charge simply because they have a turkish passport. and other one is also built so many bridges and roads. of course no one is perfect, but i still believe the a capable is the best option, especially if you compare it to the other parties and have been through. i'm 30 but i can still remember what turkey was like before the a k p took over the streets were paul told everything was dirty. there were power

cuts. and if there was an earthquake, the houses color hold. okay, that has happened again, but i remember how bad it used to be up to the pulse suggest that an early one victory is all from such as this time around. however, the current president still gone has a lot of support among german tax, many of whom admire his leadership style with the hobby leisure all along. i think there is one decisive element. well, that was a little, it's the successfully conveyed image of a strong nation of lead by a strong man would be back in this, edwin and his party have managed to present him at once as a man who defends the turkish migrant community in germany. his monkey, who stands up for their rights for cars and speaks up against injustices here. a little work. why should we, we should confusion so, but this view is not shared by many of those who have only recently migrated to

germany. the majority have fled to turkey's economic crisis and say they want an end to the country's political stalemate. tinker it can. i no longer want to have a despotic president who oppresses the people uncommon, jamal bascom on the smith, similar german turkish voters, could have a decisive influence on the election. those eligible can cast their ballots. at one of germany's 26 representative polling stations until may the 9th or let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. now. tens of thousands of supporters of controversial judicial reforms in israel have filled the straits in front of parliament in jerusalem. i minister benjamin netanyahu halted plans in late march after months of demonstrations against it. the legislation would curtail the power of the supreme court has been criticized as anti democratic

from the us, vice president mike pence as testified in front of a grand jury investigating form of president donald trump. the prob is looking into trump's efforts to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election. that's according to multiple us, maybe outlets from slaves tried, but failed to block pinches appears. the world has been waiting for months for ukraine to begin its long expected spring offensive. but the challenges for ukrainian troops are immense and ext report looks at hamper paid ye. kranz, troops are to win bacteria tree and why it's taking so long to prepare training near the front. these ukrainian soldiers are getting ready for the big battle to come. millennium with the new streaming boat is gone, more or less, okay? but with some difficulty, we will work on this and get rid of the problems. was the water that we found, the minds of? we will rehearse again,

and then it will be fine with the local. getting ukraine's forces ready has been no small undertaking. many of the countries most experienced soldiers have died or been wounded in over a year of grinding combat with russian forces. that means the counter offensive will also rely on fresh recruits who haven't seen battle. and there's another big problem. know that women neither. so that's a moment. there is a significant ammunition shortage other we lack high explosive, incendiary shells done. so tanks and artillery are unable to work effectively. estimate if high explosives shells have a much more destructive power and the damage radius is much bigger than armor piercing shells and i was but she usually commodity when anybody is filling the ammunition gap will be key and will take time. but ammunition is just one part of a much bigger and more complex machine. the ukrainians must coordinate tanks,

infantry artillery, air power and engineers relying on communications and quick decision making. but they're up against considerable obstacles. if, as expected, ukraine pushes to the south to cut russian held territory and half they have to cross. the denise river fell face mine fields and concrete obstacles known as devils teeth. and that's before they reach russian trenches shown here in satellite pictures. while the russians will likely be shooting at the ukrainians the whole time that kind of push requires equipment and may explain the longer than expected build up to the counter offensive. they've really been arming that military from the ground up. so originally it was anti tank guided missiles, then it was on hillary, then it was infantry fighting bagels, then it was tanks. your listeners, remember your view, the story will remember all the tanks that got placed the beginning the year. and so at each stage, ukraine receives what it wants and look,

i would do exactly the same thing. it's always in that position. and then it asks for the next level of support. the problem for ukraine is that western support is not likely to last forever. the spring counter offensive, which may end up happening in the summer, has to show concrete gains to keep ukraine's backers happy hand to keep the weapons coming. un security council has unanimously approved of resolution calling on afghanistan's taliban rulers to reverse the crackdown on the rights of women and girls. the resolution condemned the islamists ban on afghan women working for the united nations. it's just one of the ways the taliban have largely removed women from afghanistan's public life. a resolution co sponsored by over 90 states condemns the taliban strict policy towards women and girls in afghanistan. it faith

abdullah barton banner, a flag woman with law working for the united nations were undermines humanitarian principle. if this cross regional support makes our fundamental message to day even more significant, the world will not sit by silently as women in afghanistan are erased from society . almost 2 thirds of a plan to san 40000000 people depend on it. and the un which employs it on $400.00 of kind woman is one of the very few sources of 8 left in the country. last december. the taliban bad. it drops from employing women. a move that pushed many of these organizations to cross down there of gone, but asians for now the you and has refused to bow down. but it's if the band would affect the desperately needed it and even lead door, you went pull out from the country since the taliban took or what? in august 2021. they have been education of girls. after 6th grade prohibited women

from working in most jobs and severely district, it did present in public life. the you when born is this could have devastating consequences. the full equal meaningful, unsafe participation of women and girls is in disposable. if afghan is done is truly have a peaceful and prosperous future and they enjoy long term development that is stretching on women at a meter obstacle in that valuable attempt to gain political recognition. it's leverage the international community is trying to use to pressure the taliban to change it through. even though of god, women have lost that i do work to study and to exit public spaces. the biggest worry now for minis, how to fit the and the taliban lack of flexibility. let me put the delivery of it. the lifeline for millions of afghans in jeopardy. hold on. that's all for now.

coming up next after the break. rob watts has your business update with the look at how well india and support what will soon be the world's largest population. that in more and d w. business. coming up, offer. sure, frank, i'm anthony out. i'll be back in 45 minutes with more new style with flu time for a brain update because this orchestra called the brain continuously adapts itself. and so we ask a few astute questions.
