[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is d w. news coming to live from berlin sedans. warning generals agreed to send delegates to negotiations. that's hope the 2 sides can agree as stable cease fire and comes as un warrens more than 800000 people may please sedan due to the

conflict. also coming up. russia's costly battle for the ukrainian city of buck with u. s. intelligence sources say an estimated 20000 russian soldiers have been killed in fighting in the region since december. and how the devastating hurt quakes that hit turkey in february are also shaking voters confidence in the countries president ahead of elections plus writers in hollywood. go on, strike over, pay and working conditions. look at how this will impact the entertainment. ah hello, i'm terry martin. welcome to the program. will begin in sudan. we're warring generals have agreed to send representatives to negotiations. the top un official in the country says the con, the talks could be held in saudi arabia and would focus 1st on establishing

a durable clashes are still being reported in the capital cartoon. despite an agreement between rival military forces to extend a cease fire, smoke rises over hot tube a monday evening. yet and the ceasefire apparently broken. the 1st international shipment, a few monetary and aid, arrived in sudan at the weekend. but 10 years president william britt, so set his neighbor, needs more support. but the same way we manage to evacuate people from the theater. i think the ease, the way we can accessed that theater with humanitarian support, the streets of the capital, a largely deserted shop. some banks remain shuttered and access to medical care becoming ever more difficult for our lee as get many working and

trained minds in the health care sector are fleeing sudan to my book. there is a withdrawal of many n g yos and non n g yos due to direct attacks. by all means, it's a disaster, but i get much more by shot at abilene, fiarty, and one of them, of nationals from 12 countries arrived on the ship to saudi arabia. they were greeted by medical staff and local officials of government as well as representatives from foreign embassies. but for many leaving by error or c is not an option. these families fled overseas. dan's western border on donkeys arriving in child after days of traveling emergency work has had a thought warning about the potential looming crisis is consent to act. now it'll be too late. ah,

wherein he says on his coming in few weeks. and that if we don't provide any assistance to liverpool, ah, verona will be blood and although to fidget here will be so the united nations wants a number, fleeing sudan could soon surpass 800000. i'm a conflict. could the stabilize a region for the thousands that have already left, the violence may be behind them. but the multiple challenges facing the displaced still lie ahead multiple cease fires, have so far, failed to stop the fighting in sudan. i asked cairo based canadian journalist matt nasha, if the proposed negotiations between the warring parties could result in a breakthrough. yeah, i mean i'm not very optimistic. again,

i think it's always important to chart to judge what these generally do as opposed to what they say delicate may be accordingly. but how serious will they be engaged? negotiating doesn't look very serious, where neither of these generals can hold to cease fire. my worry is that we continue to applaud generals for purely what they say and their messaging their office, and not actually for engaging, ongoing and food alarm conflict in the country. and that was indicative when the blank and secretary of state of the us just maybe a couple of days ago applauded a ceasefire between you know, him at the, on the military side and on, on the military side. when in fact, people on the ground where, you know, very clearly using video and photos to demonstrate that actually there was really

no fire at all. indeed the complex is ongoing. the un warns that the conflict could force more than 800000 people to flee sudan, or neighboring countries like egypt, where you are equipped to handle that. i mean, they can be, but i think it's, it's, it's up to live, to call choice. not to be so egypt is going up this alone really consolidate in control over the response on the border. they see it for most of the national security issue. and as a result of that, there hasn't been a lot of neither reporters 8 organizations international relief that has been able to really try to fill that void and assist people. so there certainly is a crisis brewing on the border. people are waiting for 6 days, little water, little food, people are passing away even from what i'm hearing. it's incredibly difficult, but i think it's also very much important to note that the difficulties on these

borders and not just at egypt, but i would say throughout the region is also somewhat of a result of increasing border security and border regulations that have, you know, are directly related to a lot of relationships and migration cooperation between these countries and europe as well, you know, and so moments in the past. and then past era borders were significantly more fluid in these regions. and now we're seeing them considerably more restrictive. that is not all having to do with migration cooperation. certainly is an important part of the story. ok, sedan is a huge country where with 7 borders, 7 other other countries there. what impact though, is this conflict having on the humanitarian situation inside sudan and is the international community doing enough to help with that?

short answer. no, they're not doing enough at all. in fact, so after 2 weeks of conflict in which, just as you mentioned about 800000 people are being forced to meet with their country. but you know, obviously that, that the number is equally significant. perhaps more within the right of people that are being internally displaced or not being able to leave their homes. and what we're seeing is just the world food program finally deciding to resume its operation. you know, obviously there was, they had an issue with, with, you know, unfortunately a couple of its employees. 3 of us employees died early on because we halted services and provisions after that. and a number of other n g o i n g o z, international relief organizations have been scaling back. emergency response at a point when actually emergency response during our conflicts should be by all indicators and all of the scenarios, scale ups. so we have hardly seen any relief and it's them to completely this whole

burden placed on civilians and their own networks in su, dad in order to have their own people. but thank you very much. that was journalist, much not shed in cairo. thank you very much. sketch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. militants in gaza, her fired rockets at israel. following the death of cather, none a leading palestinian figure in the islamic jihad group. he died in israeli custody after being on hunger strike since february islamic jihad is considered a terrorist organization by the european union and the united states. women's rights in afghanistan are the focus of un led talks that have opened encounter representatives from the us, china, russia, and others will discuss how to press up can leaders to ease of ban on women working and girls going to school. the taliban have not been in by the australia is

banning the sale of most beeping products and a crackdown on recreational nicotine years sale of beeps and the cigarettes will be restricted to pharmacies and vapors will be forced to get a prescription. australia will also restrict the flavors and level of nicotine in e cigarettes. the united states claims that over 20000 russian troops have been killed in ukraine since december in the battle over the eastern city of mood. intelligence sources say an additional $80000.00 were injured in the same period, according to the classified report, half of the fallen, or from the bog, no military group which has been attempting to take control of barcode. the city has become the focal point of russia's campaign to take control of the don bus region in east of the country. for on this, let's cross over to key of where our correspond. anaconda is standing by. nick,

how reliable or the casualty numbers released by the white house concerning russian soldiers in ukraine? i think we knew for some time now that the battle for battle was extraordinarily bloody. but i think this really brings it into sharp relief, especially when you put those 2 numbers together, 100000 on the russian side in the space of a few months. as for accuracy of the, there's no one on the ground is able to kind of independently verify those numbers . this is also going to be based on us intelligence gathering. but if we look back how this conflicts develop from the most part seems like there's u. s. estimate to be fairly conservative. ukrainian source is putting the russian losses far higher still. and people who've tried to kind of can't get numbers within russia. have somebody had to flee the country? citizen journalist trying to take pictures of cemeteries military cemetery is often wagner's silk group or mercenary is being buried there. that is something that the russian government definitely wants to prevent happening. and you definitely see the russians now coming up against huge problems to recruit new people to fighting

grams. people are now painfully aware of the huge risks involved and the huge risks their lives. so that sir, a look at the russian side. what about losses on the ukranian side? neck while its government here is keeping very tight lips. there are no official figures during wartime. every couple of months, you'll hear from a top official. we had to talk general last summer saying that the ukraine lawsuit under 10000 in terms of fatalities. more recently, a top security official saying that the total loss is wounded and dead was safe and you under a $100000.00. but i think when you talked to people, you didn't certainly get the sense that these losses all mounting, even if it does seem like ukraine, is fighting more cautiously and doing more to fight in a way that doesn't put its troops to unnecessary risk. but i really get sense here that we're really gonna really count the cost of this war off to this conflicts over when the secrecy is gone. certainly when you look at social social media here, even among journalists on ukrainian social media, people who used to work with journalists gone to fight regularly. you see news

fatah says that there is a sense that as this becomes more stable, you have that trench, wolfram on bass casualties, all really rising. nick, thank you very much. that was our correspondence in kip. nick conley. turkey is holding elections later this month than poll suggests that ranch up type ada. one who's been in power for more than 20 years now is more vulnerable than ever. he's been being blamed for chronic inflation, which now stands at 50 percent. he's also facing criticism for his government's slow response to devastating earthquakes which struck turkey in february or then 50000 people were killed. hundreds of thousands of buildings collapsed or were seriously damaged and millions of been left homeless or corresponded. julia han went to adina, a stronghold for present ad want, and one of the cities worst hit by the disaster. the

cemetery and audio man is getting bigger every day. more than 7000 new graves have been added here since february's earthquakes. many are temporary. without headstones, with memories salvaged from the rubble with a bridal veil. a soccer jersey saved our allah. john comes here almost every day. she lost a large part of her family in the quakes. surely this is my niece's grave. she was 9 months old. mobile here, my father and my mother. here is one of my brother's been his children and his wife to the suit. sometimes i wish i had died too. while it's hard to go on living like

this. survived and yet torn from life. this is how so many field here an idea among eileen da, david and mourns the loss of her parents and brother. she wasn't an audio man. the day the quake struck got you come on. when she came back among the family home was gone. large birds of the city had collapsed, rescue teams arrived late. people felt abandoned. eileen is still angry about the government's crisis management. benefits all liam. o young. no one admits mistake. exhibit no one steps down. no one takes responsibility. no model. cyber. if the building that had been built earthquake proof, if the authorities had checked regularly and surely fewer people would have died, but those didn't come up because that in sun,

only the many in turkey have criticized president regis tie of adams slow response to the disaster. they also accuse him and his government of not having done enough to prevent unsafe and corrupt building practices. the president who's fighting for 3rd term in office has admitted that there was some shortcomings. and promised a reconstruction project of historic proportions college recalled that any shows were starting the construction of permanent housing watch, which is the most important need at a pace that is hard to believe that her were determined to deliver 319000 houses with their infrastructure, public buildings, social facilities, and commercial areas within one year, with his main rival in the upcoming elections as came out college old, who has a good chance of al sting out one poll suggest he claims the presidents.

reconstruction plans will cost too much money for the return, but under that we'll rebuild these houses quickly and it will cost you nothing. but why does the current government want to charge you money? because if homes collapse because they're not earthquake proof good. and the government is responsible for them, not the citizens you got it is but under say, the weeks have passed since the earthquakes, and yet the destruction here is still overwhelming. and the survivors, grief and trauma, heart wrenching, whoever wins the upcoming elections, will face a seemingly impossible task to bring back hope. when now, there is only despair at the symmetry and the audio among the discussion about the upcoming elections seems far away. save dollar, john hopes that she and the small family she has left will have

a future that they will get the real help they need and not just empty promises during an election campaign. and here a few more world news stories to day environmental groups are suing the u. s. federal aviation administration over its approval of a space ex rocket launch last month. groups argue the agency failed to adequately investigate the potential harm it could do to the surrounding environment. rocket exploded minutes into flight. while gary is chief prosecutor, even jeff has survived an assassination attempt unharmed. official say his convoy was on route to sophia when a bomb exploded by the side of the road. protesters have accused him of failing to tackle corruption and cold or his resignation. thousands of people marched in berlin to mark international workers. day organizers ended one of the

demonstrations early in protest against the heavy police presence. this years may day gatherings were largely peaceful. some rallies in france though, turned violent with more than a 100 police officers injured in clashes with demonstrators. hundreds, thousands of people joined the labor day. march is to protest, pension reforms, which have raised to retirement age. and we apologize for the lack of sound on that report. d. w is paris correspondent, however, was at the may day marches in paris and told us more this square behind me is where this protest all began. and you can see there is

a statue in the middle of that square. and protesters have decked out with a t shirt which says the words, a mac hall dami. sure that means macro resign. and that was the message from many of the people who turned out to march, who i spoke to today's, some of them trade union members who are unhappy with the contents of this pension reform law and with the way that it was passed. but of course, some of those who turned out did also end up clashing with police, and there was a descent into violence in some parts of the city and in some parts of france. no, we know, according to the interior ministry, that's more than 200 people have been detained. more than a 100 police officers have been injured and the french prime minister has slammed on violence on the side lays of these media protests as unacceptable. italy is rosie bradshaw. they're reporting from paris. now, thousands of hollywood film and television writers have gone on strike after talks between major studios and the powerful writers guild failed to reach an agreement.

writers say their income has been reduced by online streaming services. the strike could shut down television talk shows and delay the release of series and movies do for autumn. it's the 1st major rudder strike in 15 years. the last one is estimated to cost the california economy. more than $2000000000.00 or more. let's cross over to d w scott roxborough. it's going to tell us more about why the writers guild in america is striking. what are their primary demands? well, the primary demands essentially have to do with changes in technology and how it's impacted in their business. essentially it's streaming and to a lesser extent, artificial intelligence. a string of course has been incredibly dominant with netflix, amazon and other companies are investing a lot in particular television, but also film production. and the issue was streaming. often these companies pay

quite a bit for a writers on their shows, but the work is not as regular as it isn't the traditional television world. the shows, again, a canceled by quickly of their often the production is often quite shortened. so writers that don't have a steady work as they use app in traditional television. and then the other side of it is compensation for streaming productions. because in the traditional tv world, you will get a, if you're a writer, if you're shows a hit, you could measure how many people are watching it and you get paid according to the success of a show. with streaming, measuring a hint is much more difficult. fingers don't release their figures as to how he will actually watch a show. and so the writers aren't compensated in the same way on that one issue. the other issue, as i mentioned, is artificial intelligence writers and hollywood are very worried. that studios will start to cut costs using artificial intelligence to replace them replace aspects of what they do. they see this as an existential threat. i'm worried that

there need to be a things put into the contract to force the studios not to use a i to replace a to replace writer. so to the main issues, which is a booklet, technologically driven, i'm an are behind a lot of the, the action taking place right now and, and the strike. so the strike is underway. it's happening now. what impact is likely to have scott on the entertainment industry? i think it's gonna depend on how long it lasts. the last time we had a major writer strike was 20072008. at last in about a 100 days and had a fairly significant impact. it had a real major impact on the television industry. we saw a shift away from drama towards more reality tv, a non scripted a television. and it also delayed or even cancel a lot of a big movie productions because they couldn't afford because the writers are working on. if this strike is very short, a couple of weeks, maybe i think the impact will be very limited. but it does go on a couple of months as the last major strike did. i think we will see major shifts

and will be interesting to see how the studios and these big production companies will adapt to not having writers to creighton material. and of course, it's interesting to have to think about how this is going to be resolved. what about negotiations? scott, between the writers guild and the studios. any chance of them striking a deal soon? ah, so i can't see it. they're still very power art. m a when in terms just in terms of money. the plan put forward by the writers guild would see an increase in revenue for writers. a vote for $29000000.00 or 3 years on the studio side. the offer of would bring around $86000000.00 over 3 years as a huge gap there. and also the sort of fundamental issues i was talking about. the issues of how streamers compensate a writers for their work and the impact of artificial intelligence on, on writing and, and how it will be integrated into the entertainment system. on those issues. the writers and the producers, this the studios arch,

credibly power. and at the moment, i don't see how they're going to come together, but there is the demand on both sides to find a solution. so hopefully this will be a limited strike and will lot of go on for months and months and impact basically the entertainment industry worldwide. scott, thank you very much. show scottsboro from dw culture. now the biggest stars from the world of fashion have gathered in new york city for its biggest party. this years met gallow was themed on the late fashion icon, karl lagerfeld and the attendees sported looks that reflected his aesthetic actor jared letter showed up dressed as laga fields. cat, a retired tennis star. serena williams used the night as a chance to pronounce her 2nd pregnancy. the ball is
