the universe and the rest were series. 40 to the answer, almost every thing this week on d w ah ah, this is d w. news live from berlin, a desperate humanitarian crisis. as the fighting in sudan enters a 3rd week. dr. say, nearly 2 thirds of hospitals and the conflict zone are out of service. most western nations have finished evacuating their nationals, leaving sudan civilians to cope as best as they can. russia blames

a massive oil depot fire on a ukrainian drone attack. keith is not claiming to be behind the blast, but says it's god's punishment for earlier russian air strikes which kill does. civilians and pope francis meets ukrainians who fled the war and their homeland to hungry. thanks people for taking them in warrens against the dangers of nationalists. ah, i'm nick spicer. welcome to the program. air and artillery strikes have again, rock sedans, capital, hard to several truces between the army and rival paramilitaries have failed to bring an end to heavy fighting. hundreds of people have been killed in huge numbers have fled the country. most western nations have now finished evacuating their nationals. sudanese civilians are unable to leave now face shortages of good water

and medical care. oh yeah, just a moment of relief and joy. medical volunteers rush to help deliver this baby in the back of a con data and they picked a name that embodies a message of hope. we begin. so other 100 problem of, of mileage up when you hear the cries of a new born baby at the time of war i am at hospitals are closed. we had to choose a very nice name for the baby and but we liked to name salaam, which means peace and want to see it, which means victorious, which i meant to see if it lays out as the conflict and see don wages on dozens of hospitals have closed due to damage looting and a lack of critical supplies, such as oxygen, blood, and medical equipment. fuel for ambulances is also scarce. this hospital in the city of abdomen is still open, but is struggling to cope enough to be at the law. the medical teams in the

hospitals, facilities are really lacking. under normal circumstances, we have seen as un phone now ever shift is longer low that are not enough doctor's side. there are only 2 doctors or one doctor who covers one or 2 departments and sometimes 3 departmental men o'mara couldn't live below that. so the red cross estimates that 50000 children who need urgent treatment from malnutrition could now be affected by disruption in food and health care supplies. and as the fighting continued, relentlessly, the problem looks that to get worse, shush was seraph from the international rescue committee says the plight of those caught up in the conflict is becoming ever more desperate. well, it's very bad. i think it's very difficult to describe how bad the situation is. as you mentioned, you already got a crisis in car where people cannot leave and people don't have access to full

water electricity, basic healthcare. but we also have thousands of people and it's estimated that more than $75000.00 people are internally displaced within sedan. right now, bought from cardon, but also from other parts. so, so done, finding continues, particularly in the back and we also see housing as of people who have ad to cross. so don borders in chad in new south saddam, in egypt into the p o. p r. so it is a crisis which is evolving very fast and then every single day that the conflict continues, the will see in explanation and help us understand these truces. we've been hearing about truce as being agreed on and then and then broken again. do these fires help people on the ground in some way?

i would say very marginally though the seas fires have not held it all. they have been multiple c fires as you both of us. but none of them have have had, for a few hours more than a few hours. people have had some opportunity to leave and do find places to go where they can have access to some basic services and also be a bit more safe. so there has been some window of opportunity for people to escape, but more or less it's still has not had people in terms of being in their homes, being able to go out and access basic services field per day access basic health care in. so i would say that in many, many ways. it hasn't julie head that was such what sarah from the

international rescue committee. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. thousands of israelis have taken part in protest against government reform plans for the 17th st week. widespread anger over proposed changes to the judiciary has forced the prime minister benjamin netanyahu to put the legislation on hold. but his opponents wanted scrapped altogether. the mediterranean rescue, ship ocean viking will have to sail 3 more days before the 150 migrants on board, can disembark the crew. rescue the migrants off the coast of malta, but were prevented from docking. there are traveling therefore, to an italian port, a 1000 kilometers away. a group of women in afghanistan has urged pardon me, has marched to urge 4 nations against formally recognizing the taliban government. the un summit in doha next week is expected to hear suggestions that envoys could

take small steps towards recognize from the regime. a gunman in the us state of texas has shot dead 5 neighbors because they asked him to stop firing grounds in his front yard. authorities have identified the suspect and charged him with multiple counts of murder. although he remains on the run authorities in russian occupied crimea, say a massive oil terminal fire was caused by ukrainian drone attack officials appointed by moscow claim the blaze in the port of savannah stow paul is now under control, keith says there's no evidence its forces were behind the attack but claims the fire was god's punishment for an earlier wave of russian airstrikes. that was russia's biggest air offensive in weeks, at least 25 civilians were killed in several cities. the 1st large scale air attacks on ukraine for almost 2 months prompted renewed calls by the

ukrainian president for its western allies to supply more air defenses. leach with our air force managed to shoot down most of the russian missiles $21.00 out of $23.00, fired normally. and it proves once again that you can only stop terror with weaponry, edge offenses, modern aviation without which air defenses cannot be fully effective. artillery and armored vehicles punish. one of the russian missiles that evaded ukraine's air defenses hate an apartment block in man. a city far from the front line. he killed dozens of people including children. residence watched the rescue. cruise in grief, with picking them on my neighbors are gone. no one has left me more inclusive

in key presidents. lensky met with the leaders of the check republican slovak. yeah . things are going up. they remembered the victims of the latest strikes with a minute of silence. ah, judy de roslyn. later both countries signalled their support for ukraine joining the western military alliance nato. but for now, keith has to rely on the weapon systems. it already has in place to protect its people from future russian attacks. marina mariners with the defense studies department at king's college, london. i asked her what she made of the conflicting claims over the fire. good evening. well, the situation seems say, at least according to the russian sources at the fire has been contained and that

no civilians have been harmed. however, the problem is that the, the russian side is not claiming that the ukrainian side used a boon to attack sebastopol. meaning that crimea is walner bowl and so it looks russia on its back toes because ukraine is showing basically signaling that it might go for crimea. and we're hearing again this nuclear reference from the metering, mid mid made of who's threatening to use nuclear weapons through ukraine. tried to take crimea and just going back to what may or may not have provoked that tar ukrainian attack if that's what it was. why has russia now stepped up its attacks on ukrainian cities? well, we have seen those attacks before as a started on october 17th, when general survey can to control of the special military operation. and the idea was to basically reduce the ukrainian armed forces capabilities or so the russian

narrative goes. and so there are a few possibilities here of what might have happened, british intelligence, as that, as it was ineffective targeting. and that russia was trying to prevent, the ukrainian fool says, from mounting the counter offensive. so you, russia is trying to em destroys that capability before a counter offensive takes place. because certain that the picture for the russian forces doesn't look as good according to uganda progression. who is saying that russian armed forces lacks unnecessary leadership to defend their positions. the, as a possibility is coercing civilians in order to make this war much more costly. and the worrying part about it is that russia using long range strikes, can strike anywhere, was in ukraine far away from the battlefield. which creates a problem for president lansky because he is not capable of protecting ukrainians and it creates more pressure on the west to deliver

a some sort of air defenses in order to be able to contract this effect. ok, thank you so much for that insight. that was some marina milan at kings college london. thank you for having me. pope frances has met with refugees from ukraine during a visit to hungry. you thank people for taking them in saying, welcoming migrants. is a christian virtue in a country with an anti immigration prime minister. the pope also warned against the dangers of nationalism. refugees from ukraine were among the hundreds of people who crowded to meet pipe francis on his 2nd day and hungary the pontiff, has used his trip to highlight the need for pace and praised hungarians, the taking in people fleeing the war. he that said the little man, thank you for the way you've welcomed them. not only with generosity, but also with enthusiasm, so many refugees from ukraine. younger refugees performed music during
