behind the past, they live for the people need to know what is happening in our series guardians of truth watch now on youtube, d. w documentary ah ah, this is d, w. news live from berlin, violence flares, again in sudan despite an extended, she's fire. the unrest spread ster urban areas of door for where card wild cartoon resonance remain shut in their homes with little access to food or health facilities. also on the program. tenacious coast guard says it's

retrieved more than $200.00 bodies of migrants over 10 days, as arise and racist attacks drives more people to attempt the perilous rushing to europe. ah, and we meet the hard rockers from kenya competing for the chance to play at the world's biggest heavy metal festival. the legendary vulcan in northern germany. ah, a micheal ok welcome. we begin in sudan where heavy fighting continues despite a truce extension announced last thursday by the army and rival paramilitary group known as the rapid support forces or, or as f air strikes and artillery have rock parts of the capital cartoon. so heavy

bombardment has damage buildings in residential neighborhoods. the conflict has spread to the volatile door for region. the violence broke out 2 weeks ago, sparked by a power struggle between 2 rival generals. hundreds have been killed and tens of thousands have fled for their lives. for more we are joined now by mat nation. he is an egyptian journalist following the developments in sudan from the egyptian capital cairo met the truce between the army and r. s. f has been repeatedly broken with both parties, finger pointing. why are they unable to reach an agreement? i think because each one thinks that they can still win. um so, you know, really negotiations aren't going to really get started. whole have momentum until one party is trying to protect itself from losing more than already has. and

another party is trying to, you know, essentially official eyes, it's gains. and so right now are things that are pretty even queue of fighting with a hard time between the military arissa. so doesn't lend a lot of in center for either side or to negotiate when they're not going to get more or less than they otherwise would have. because they have no consolidation of gains on the battlefield. as you will know, both yourself and the army claim, they're winning the fight. is it possible to assess who actually has the upper hand at this point? at this point i don't think any party really does half the overhead. i think what we are seeing is that air superiority is, is with the army because it just has an aerial tack which the ours up does not for that month's is an advantage there. but at the same time with the artists f, you know, they're just very sprawling for so they've been able to infiltrate a lot of residential neighborhoods accordingly. and so, you know, there is control um and,

and checkpoints set up on that. and right now i see neither of those 2 parties winning and just see one loser. and that's all the civilians caught in the middle. indeed, there, there are reports of in a communal violence in door for where clashes in the past have killed hundreds and thousands. how serious is the situation there? it is serious. i mean, i'd like to qualify. i don't love the term in or community because it's a just that it's separate from the political dynamics that are taking place to me and long center political dynamics there. this is really what's happening is a power vacuum. first off mix with you know, how the conflicts in the are not are assessed. and the army is shaping, shaping up within an exasperating local use between communities and are 4. and these local disputes are fundamentally ben overland, resources, and water. so it's pretty much political, but what we're seeing is that with,

with absolutely no protection for us there. and with both the, our staff and the army, generally recruiting people to come to cartoon. what we're seeing is that we're seeing a number of tribes number of communities that you know, have had, you know, kind of long standing alliances. but i wouldn't even call that big complex, but relations with the rest, the better now taking advantage of this power vacuum to try to consolidate gains and attack, you know, and j place camps and trying to control allowed to take water resources. and as a result of their nothing, many places to flee, we're seeing these communities that are being attacked now trying to arm themselves and create self patrols and barricades or communities in order to protect themselves. so incredibly volatile there. and one thing that i would stress, which i think it's quite important, is that while the fighting in khartoum is having people being indiscriminately killed, which is indeed tragic and irresponsible. and dar for the real risk is that there

is more collective punishment going on. and that people are actually being targeted kills, and particular communities. and so this is, this is raises another level on terms of the emergency radar of the kind of killing and violence that we're seeing there. and we will have to end their, our thing to journalists, matt nashik. thank you very much. alan tenicia coast guard has recovered the bodies of over 200 migrants who have drown, trying to reach europe over 10 days. growing numbers of people are trying to leave tunisia since its president announced a crackdown on illegal migrants. these migrants, many from sub saharan africa, are headed for italy, less than a 150 kilometers from the italian island of lum producer. tunisia coastline has long been a stepping stone for migrants. now tunisia is even surpassed libya becoming the top

to port your country for african migrants trying to reach your of anita and her daughter staying and a port city of spokes waiting to secure enough money to attempt the crossing letter to go to europe. god willing anita has already had to failed attempts. despite the risks many keep trying. in the past 2 weeks, tunisia has recovered the bodies of over 200 migrants that drowned at sea. authorities say the numbers are overwhelming. local more ks are running out of space. it says the numbers keeps going up and at 1st it was 6 bodies that came now we've been asked to make 30 graves at bonds all over the the number of migrants arriving to italy from tunisia has

increased nearly 10 fold compared to last year. sub saharan africans are experiencing an upsurge in races, the taxing tunisia following anti migrant rhetoric from the tunisian president rights groups are concerned dots pushing them to rest their lives at sea in even greater numbers and to the war here in europe. now ukraine's president for lot of his lensky as, as western allies for more powerful air defenses. after russia launched its biggest airstrikes in weeks, at least 25 people were killed. the city of human south of cave was the hardest hit in the attacks which happened early friday morning. the victims include children who died when rockets struck in apartment building. 6 2 they're still in shock, after russian misses destroyed their homes in the early hours. some of them,

at 1st, all the glass flew out, everything flew out even the chandelier. pho, everything was covered in glass. and then there was an explosion and the cars started exploding. we quickly found out things and ran out, and then every one started arriving several buildings where i hit one completely destroyed what you emotional believe it was we had with sound of a plane taking off. oh what the 10 minutes later there was an explosions of 0 zoe. at 1st i was confused as to hang on it, and then there was a 2nd explosion here. all the moth, glass flew towards us. all of your yet quickly covered myself with a blanket and asked my husband, he was alive or not. but you got this through the window. we could see that everything was on fire. it's hard to find words to describe it was after that, we gather la things and went outside to send it, but a dorothy, some of her salad, but obviously below oh,

emergency services managed to rescue several people from the rubble presidency. lensky called the attack a night of terror and condemned to targeting civilians, ukrainian forces, say russia launch 23 missiles on the cities of women on nipper, where a woman and her child died. and in the key of region where an apartment was hit, ukraine says it intercepted all but 2 of the missiles to rush and drones are reportedly also taken down. the attacks were the latest in a series by russia in recent days. meanwhile, ukrainian forces are wrapping up preparations for a spring counter offensive. w correspondent, nick connelly is in key. he told us about the current state of ukraine's air defense systems. we certainly are in a much better state than they were at the beginning of this war. but i think the reality is, this is a vast country. it really is more than it 1500 glimpses from east to west and how

much kilometers at, from north to south there is never going to be enough equipment to really keep everything safe. and even if you do have the equipment, there's the question of the munitions to make these kinds of systems work. they are in very short supply and the capacity in western countries to produce more is severely limited. so you hit and tom, again, ukrainian offices talking about their frustration. so those having to basically watch russian missiles fly by because they just need to hold on to their stock. so this is a really serious issue. i think the other interesting question is where the rush actually has enough missiles and dad seemed that russia was running out of these missiles that they were having to take missiles of the production line directed to the front lines. there was no stocks left, but it does seem like now off to 50 days or so over pause that russia once again has enough missiles to really make ukrainians basic be, be afraid of return the he, that's our and switching gears snell. every summer. hard rock fans and performers flocked to northern germany to experience the world's biggest heavy metal event,
