5:02 pm
a few monetary and aid arrived in sudan at the weekend. but kenya's, president william brito said his neighbor needs more support. but the same way we managed 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 shattered and access to medical care becoming ever more difficult for all li, i'll get many working and trained minds in the health care sector are fleeing sudan, come i look on. there is a withdrawal of many and g o, z and non n g o z 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.
5:03 pm
they were greeted by medical staff and local officials of government as well as representatives from foreign embassies. but for many leaving by air or sea is not an option. peace. families fled overseas . dan's western border on donkeys arriving in child after days of traveling emergency workers had a thought warning about the potential looming crisis. is he sent to act? now it'll be too late. ah, wherein he says on his coming in few weeks. and there, if we don't provide any assistance of the people, ah, garad will be block and all that if he did here will be stuck. the united nations wants a number fleeing sudan could soon surpass 800000 m a conflict
5:04 pm
could destabilize the region for the thousands that have already left. the violence may be behind them. but the multiple challenges facing the displaced still lie ahead. i bureau low al dang, as an independent east africa analyst. i started off by asking her what she was hearing from her family in sudan. yes, i have quite a few families there. you know, they are subsidies, but they some are also cities. many of them have their entire lives quite a number and has led in the last few days, i have one relative, a journey. he left the center or 2 more. there was heavy fighting on foot. a city of them for several days. finally managed to get money and people with an organized journey out of the city to the
5:05 pm
white nile area. and just by the cry cross the border and you talk to down along with thousands of others this past weekend. so it's already that i have left everything and have a lead. devastating goes out to you and what you said, they're going to say it's about 40 because with the fighting has gone now out from the capital call to me. and we heard this morning from the way to refugee council, but the situation for expiring out of control with reports of losing a refugee comes being bone to the ground. what do you think this tells us about how this conflict is developing? i think that it tells us that this conflict is essentially re ignite in the door for conflict. although both those 2 groups were involved in that conflict, working on the side of the share against the african identifying malicious,
5:06 pm
there. we see ultimately a conflict in there or, and another, renew, scramble for power and resources. and a lot of the tactics that we're seeing in there, or where there has been no level conflict going on for the last couple of years. just a lot of these tactics are, there are unfortunately somewhat classic. and or, you know, attacking civilians openly, attacking humanitarian aid, type on the war, war conflict, economy derived from moody, and humanitarian aid and vehicles. these, you know, except non state actors. now we have the jungles one bright spot, i suppose is the generals of agreed to send representatives to negotiations, potentially in saudi arabia. who do you think is best position to mediate i so it's a sustainable resolution to this conflict. well,
5:07 pm
i think that this conflict has to be resolved by all of the stakeholders. you know, obviously the generals on both sides of being biased by different parties for different state actors. and then also as a country eventually lead to receive some financial stimulus to it's broken economy, which is a lot of these issues from some of the western donors and even countries like china . i think it really all hands on deck situation where there's room for western countries like the u. s. u k, a traditional role but also obviously the emerging economies like china and others. ok. thank you so much for analysis. very clear, independent, east africa. i was to, well, thank, thank you. crying on the united states is claiming that more than $20000.00 russian troops have been killed in ukraine since december. us
5:08 pm
intelligence sources say an additional $80000.00 were injured in the same period according to a d. classified to report off the data from the wagner military group, which has been attempting to take control of back move. gremlins has rejected the u . s. claim saying washington isn't capable of gaining accurate data about russian casualty numbers. la correspondent nick conley in chief, gave his assessment of those casualty figures released by the us. while these are always numbers that are to really be looked at with a lot of caution. these are historic containers. american estimates being relatively conservative, but up to the they're not on the ground, nor able to really fact check all of this. and in a war situation, neither side are publishing official numbers. lots of people are still counted as missing in action rather than actually deceased. so from the relatives don't get any kind of conclusive answers for months at a time. but it's certainly the case that back more has been the scene of extraordinary losses on the russian side, and no real sense there that the russian,
5:09 pm
a military command is in any mood to try and fight in a more kind of conservative, more cautious way that would reduce those losses, and we do believe that the ukraine losses are safer, but smaller by a significant weight than the russian losses of the in defense. you're in a better position than if you're trying to take territory. but all to this conflict, we've been trying to kind of work out what these numbers really are. and you know, from the ukraine side, every couple of months, you'll get some statements that last summer we had the top ukrainian or saying that you can cranes losses were below 9000. then you're more recently we've had our top security official saying that a wounded and dead under a 100000. but basically these numbers all pretty far out. and i think we're going to really count the cost of this war much, much later. there's no real sense that we have any opportunity right now to know quite 100 people losing the life they calmly in cave or russian states at media plays a crucial role in maintaining public support for the war. but could the kremlin eventually lose its grip on its tightly controlled narrative is
5:10 pm
a look at how russian t v has been trying to create an alternative reality out of a mis. i'll strike in woman in which 23 people were killed. russia fast, it's army uses precision weapons only aimed at military targets. so how's their propaganda? spanning this narrative, this apartment block in human central ukraine was struck by a russian me style. it heat at around 4 in the morning when most people were in bad . the strike killed $23.00 people including 6 children. so how did moscow respond? russia stay to be used? images of they destroyed building, claiming that this devastation was actually ukraine's fault caused by keith shelling of the don't boss region. even though this region is hundreds of kilometers away from the actual scene of the tragedy. you
5:11 pm
know, this video recorded by one also victims was exploited by one of russia top propaganda se led him and he photo reading right on target. appeared on the ministry telegram channel. just a few hours later, independent polls indicate that many russians believe their propaganda. but of course, this does not apply to every one. after the strike on this apartment building in mon people all over russia brought flowers to spontaneous memorials. the show of solidarity was not welcomed by the russian authorities, and they were quick to remove the flowers and any messages apologizing for their talk. as a closer look at russian misinformation, with the back of kolinski who's a senior analyst at the european center of excellence for country hybrid threats. welcome to d. w. i suppose the 1st question has to be, is russia's disinformation campaign actually working? is it convincing the russian public oh,
5:12 pm
i'm afraid we have to conclude that it definitely does. does, does work quite successfully. although it's very hard to, to put the numbers on it. your colleague mentioned some of the opinion impulse in russia, and of course we can't be 100 percent sure that the numbers are giving us the right information according to a lot of sources. many russians are actually afraid to answer honestly in these polls so, so we can be really sure, but from some other, you could say circumstantial evidence, we can conclude that many russians do believe the official russian propaganda. there are many, many testimonies that the soldiers who go murdering to ukraine. they actually parroted the official russian propaganda that they are there to exterminate denazi's and, and similar stuff so. so unfortunately we see that it works not. i suppose it helps though, that there is always very difficult to get an alternative view. if there's only one story being told to you this,
5:13 pm
it's not unreasonable to believe it. i think you're right and that's why the russian state try so hard to, to eradicate all the alternative sources off of real information. there's not just about shutting down independent outlets light like that endorsed. this is also about the murder of bodies. and so for, or an apple goal sky are or poisoning of legend. melissa. so, so the russian state is doing everything possible to, to make it impossible for regular russians to, to acquire solid inflammation. however, the people who are interested and i'm in touch with a few, they will tell you that it is possible to reach solid information, but you have to be trying actively. ok, i'm what about outside the russian a media bubble. i'm influential figures and international decision makers also being targeted by russian misinformation they, they,
5:14 pm
most definitely are. i mean, for the russians it's, it's more cost effective version. they wouldn't really roll the tanks into berlin. although the product disliked the already mentioned plugin or somebody else that they will be talking about it. but it is, it is significantly cheaper to try and influence the decision making process in our countries. we have obviously many reasons to hope that they are not as successful as in russia. on the other hand, there are many, in my opinion, very optimistic taste that russians are completely unsuccessful. and i just don't think that's true when we had a look at some of the opinion polls that are indicated that around 20 to 30 people in various european countries believe some of the russian lives like that. for example, the west to blame for the war in ukraine. or when we see very influential figures like the pope or even mosque repeating some of the notorious russian to information messages. i think we have to conclude that they do find they are audience even in the democratic countries. okay. and your organization,
5:15 pm
the european center for excellence for countering hybrid threats. this was established to help you and nato countries deal with these sorts of attacks. so what does dealing with these attacks look like? is it purely defensive? so our center is more on like trying to raise the level of knowledge of particular country than when it comes to the more offensive measures. if you are asking about them, i'm afraid they would be more into competence off of the national government. but there are various measures that could be done. i mean, i still think that, you know, although we have quite a few very good initiatives my 14 year versus disinfo, i think they are doing a tremendous job. i think we are doing quite a good job here in europe when it comes to the pressure on social media companies by the code of practice and the digital services act. it still seems to me that these good practices are disproportionately weak compared to the magnitude and the
5:16 pm
strength of will rushing propaganda. so i think we still need to significantly step up, even just having to look at the, the amount of money that is being spent on russian is information. and when you put against it, how much money we are spending on come from russia. this information russians are spending us like big time and we are not talking 10 to one. we are talking more like sort of $100.00 to $1.00. well, thank you for. that's very interesting. i got kalonski from the european center of excellence for country hybrid threats. thank you for the invitation. have a good afternoon. you too. is a good most stores making news around the world. well, it's in the end, garza fired rockets. it is right on tuesday, a following the death of a leading palestinian figure in the islamic jihad group had ad not died in israeli ha custody after being on hunger strike since february, the european union and united states considering having jihad, terrorist group canyon pastor accused of being responsible for the deaths of
5:17 pm
dozens of people has appeared in court, is suspected of encouraging his followers to staff themselves to death. authorities of so far recovered at least $109.00 bodies from shalon graves in a forest in east canyon. the rebellion delegates from 40 countries returned the annual petersburg climate dialogue event brings lead us together to prepare for the annual world climate conference. in november, german foreign minister online at babylon told delegates that countries should set targets to replace oil and gas if renewable energy that turkey, which is holding elections this month. and polls suggest president reggie time around is more vulnerable than ever after being in power for more than 20 years. he's being blamed for the country's chronic inflation. now standing at 50 percent and for his government slow response to february's devastating earthquakes. more than 50000 people killed, hundreds of thousands of buildings collapsed um,
5:18 pm
seriously damaged a 1000000 were left homes, a demon idea mom a's on the oh do on electoral stronghold and one of the cities was hit by the disaster. i corresponded you'll, johan reports the cemetery and our dear man is getting bigger every day. more than 7000 new graves have been added here since february's earthquakes. many are temporary. without head stones, memories salvaged from the rubble with a bridal veil. a soccer josie saved al ala john comes here almost every day. she lost a large part of her family in the quakes. sure, this is my niece's grave. she was 9 months old will bull here and my father and my
5:19 pm
mother here is one of my brothers with his children and his wife took the suit. sometimes i wish i had died too. while my, it's hard to go on living like this one will come, survived, and yet torn from life. this is how so many field here and nadia man eileen da, david and mourns the loss of her parents and brother. she wasn't an idea man. the day the quake struck got you come on. when she came back among the family home was gone. large part of the city had collapsed. rescue teams arrived late. people felt abandoned. eileen is still angry about the government's crisis management belts. aaliyah a young no one had made
5:20 pm
a mistake. exhibit no one steps down. no one takes responsibility in them. a little cyber. if the buildings had been built, earthquake proof, if the authorities had checked regularly and surely fewer people would have died, but those did, some will become that in son only that many in turkey have criticized president regis. tie of ad one's 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 recall thought any shows we're starting the construction of permanent housing watch that, which is the most important. neat. it's not a pace that it's hard to believe that her were determined to deliver $319000.00 houses with their infrastructure, public buildings, social facilities,
5:21 pm
and commercial areas within one year, with his main rival and the upcoming elections. as came alcala, jd old, who has a good chance of ousting add one poll, suggest he claims the presidents. reconstruction plans will cost the earthquake with themselves too much money that are living with them. they have that vehicle on between what on the set of wheel rebuild these houses quickly and it will cost you nothing that you know. why does the current government want to charge you money? this may be a quote, but if homes collapse because they're not earthquake proof, good ebony and the government is responsible for them of not the citizens you got it. but under say the mama 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,
5:22 pm
there is only despair at the cemetery and audio home on the discussion about the upcoming elections seems far away. saved our la 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 to empty promises during an election campaign. you'll johan in turkey now to hollywood, where thousands of film and t v writers are on strike. after talks between major studios on the writers guild of america failed to reach any agreements 1st. major, right, to strike for 15 years could shut down t v talk shows and delay the release of series and movie shadow for autumn writer say their incomes have been reduced by online streaming services. the last a strike is estimated to of cost california economy want $2000000000.00. it's got more on this from scott rock's brought from
5:23 pm
d w culture. welcome scott. so what are the writers want? well, um, essentially what they want is a better working conditions and also a bit of a more job security in a time of incredible transformation within the film and television industry on which is being driven sort of by 2 major technological changes. one is the streaming revolution and the other is artificial intelligence or, or a i, and the writers guild of america. the union that represents hollywood writers is concerned that these transformations could essentially undermine their, their entire industry. basically with streaming. the main issue is that although there is a lot of production happening because the stream is lot of money going to writers on to, to make new shows for netflix and so forth. the conditions are much more precarious than they used to be. instead of having long seasons of television shows where riders were guaranteed work for many years, you have a sort of almost a gig economy of writers being hired and fired very quickly and not being able to
5:24 pm
sort of build up a stable career on the a, i side, the drivers, he also a threat to their whole existence because they're concerned that the studios and production companies will start using a i to replace them using a her artificial intelligence to do the writing for them. or do aspects of writing like re writing scripts that are typically done by people. uh, but now in some ways can be done by machine i'm and so these are 2 major technological transformations are causing a lot of anxiety among the hollywood writer community on an end to this impasse and to this the strike. so what impact is the strike likely to have? well, i mediately you're gonna see your re are seeing the like i tacos shutting down in the us because these are shows that rely on a daily supply of jokes and writing from, from original writers. those have shut down already will probably seen impact follow on with the weekly shows like say, saturday live, that all also requires
5:25 pm
a daily supply or regular supply of new content. if the strike goes on much longer, if it goes on a couple of months, has happened the last time back in 2007 where it lasted a 100 days. you'll see shows get canceled. you'll see films a get delayed or, or, or shelf because they won't have the writers to supply the scripts that are needed . essentially, everyone is waiting to see if the 2 sides can, can find some agreement. and this strike as soon as possible. yeah, behalf bane talks. how are they going very, very poorly at the moment of the writers guild and the association of producers in studios are so far apart it's, it's almost laughable. the writers offer a would put an extra form 20000000 into writers, pockets of the next 3 years. on the other side, the producers in the studios are offering 86000000 over 3 years. so that's a huge gap. and in the fundamental questions of things like regulating artificial
5:26 pm
intelligence, the studios aren't willing to do that yet. and so we're seeing still this incredible ang, animosity on both sides. i'm at the moment, it's hard to see how these 2 sides can really come together and, and the strike quickly. thank you for that, scott, scott ross with d. w culture as well and with some of the biggest stars in fashion and entertainment, to been gathering in new york for the met gala. this year, a late fashion i comma kala, laga felt as a sort of theme attendees a sported looks that reflected his aesthetic or to jared leto address donna's can. you type tony stass, rena williams use her moment on the rug copy to answer 2nd pregnancy unborn. is a fundraiser for new york metropolitan using ah,
