i can just see her walking away, hello and welcome to world news and it's very, very hard to think that i was the last one today. sedan‘s new military leader in my family to see her alive. is vowing to uproot the regime just hours after being sworn in. he is i delivered her to her death. the country does not third leader in this force has covered up this for a0 years and we're not as many days following the ousting of the long—time president bashir and the nomination of his successor after just one and the nomination of his successor afterjust one day. the new leader, seen afterjust one day. the new leader, seen here, made a televised statement, in which he cancelled the night curfew imposed on thursday. the head of the state security service has also resigned. but activists say they will carry on demonstrating until the military hand over power to civilians. andy moore reports.

a new day in khartoum and a new leader, but the protesters are still on the streets. the new man has already accepted an important resignation, salah gosh, the head of the powerful national intelligence and security service. the crowds are waiting to see what to make of the man now in charge of their country. translation: abdel fattah al burhan is the new guy but who is he and what will he say and do differently? will he chant to our slogans or not? we won't deal with him emotionally. we are waiting to hear his first address and then we will decide how to deal with him. translation: it is a great thing for sudan and, inshallah, our hopes will be realised. we are not leaving the streets until everything goes to our advantage. translation: we need to peacefully coexist under new measures. dear compatriots, a military council will safeguard the state has meant sovereignty and establish a civilian government agreed upon by all factions. for this to happen, the transitional military council will be in control for a period that will not exceed two years.

sudan's third leader in as many days, lieutenant general abdel fattah al burhan abdelrahman was sworn in late on friday night. his elevation followed the resignation of the man who led the military coup to topple the president. al abdelrahman burhan is seen as further away from the old regime. he has been seen on the streets of khartoum, engaging with the protesters and trying to win them over. but, so far at least, that plan doesn't seem to be working. the demonstrators say they will stay on the streets until there is a handover to a civilian government. andy moore, bbc news. for more on these developments we can for more on these developments we ca n ci’oss for more on these developments we can cross to washington, dc and talk to the former deputy chief emission at the embassy in sudan. do you see any positive signs, anything we can ta ke any positive signs, anything we can take encouragement from in the middle of all this uncertainty that is going on at the moment? ido is going on at the moment? i do see positive signs. in fact, i'm cautiously optimistic that the new leader of sudan will continue to

ta ke new leader of sudan will continue to take additional steps that will reassure the protesters, build confidence with them, so there can bea confidence with them, so there can be a peaceful resolution to all this. i don't think he is there yet that he has certainly begun the process and indicated he is willing to listen, willing to take some steps that the protesters are calling for. additional steps i didn't need to be taken. what you make of the rapid change of leader? three leaders for the country in three days. what is going on there, do you think? i think it was an indication that the previous leader, who was the minister of defence, was totally u na cce pta ble to who was the minister of defence, was totally unacceptable to the protest movement and until he was gone, there was really no chance of this working out. and when the protesters, the demonstrators are talking the power to be handed over to civilians, they wa nt to be handed over to civilians, they want elections. realistically, what is the earliest you think that could be achieved? if you look back

historically and the change of government in 1985, when the president was overthrown in similar circumstances in a military council took over, it was a year when rather good elections took place. that could happen sooner this time. it doesn't have to be one year but it's unrealistic to think it's going to happen within a few days. there has to be more integration in the government, of civilians, technocrats, perhaps key protest leaders, in order to build up confidence in both sides. but i think this is possible now if both sides are willing to compromise a little more. when the military is talked about within two years, do you think two years is too long? two yea rs you think two years is too long? two years is too long. they say up to two years. that may mean just a few months short of two years or it

could mean a year and a half short of two years, who knows? the point is that it has to be shorter than a two year span of time and it's been shown in the past that it can be done easily within one year. why can't it be done even sooner than that? david, do you think there is any risk, just briefly, do you think there is any risk, given all this uncertainty that we could have a power vacuum emerging? yes, there could be a power vacuum if you don't have the military and the security forces on board with whatever the arrangement is. that is why this can't happen overnight. you need to maintain security in the country and the people with the guns at the security forces. so they have to play a role and they probably need to maintaina play a role and they probably need to maintain a couple of key

positions in a government. but it is time to bring civilians and technocrats in now. 0k, david, really good to get your thoughts. former deputy chief of mission in sudanjoining us former deputy chief of mission in sudan joining us from washington, dc. india has been observing the centenary dc. india has been observing the ce nte nary of dc. india has been observing the centenary of the note aureus massacre by troops during british rule. and moritz are seen as one of the darkest episodes of the indian era. they have laid wreaths at the site. 100 years on, at the sight of the massacre. a ceremony to remember the dead. among those gathered, politicians in the throes of india's general election campaign laying wreaths to mark one of the country

plasma darkest chapters. elsewhere, the prime minister gave his thoughts. i pay my respects to the martyrs of this incident. it was here at the public gardens that on the 13th of april 19 19,000 had gathered to celebrate a holy festival. tensions in the city had been running high. colonial authorities had introduced martial law and when some in the crowd chanted anti—british slogans, the man in charge of public order, general reginald dyer, ordered his troops to open fire. 379 indians we re troops to open fire. 379 indians were killed, 1200 were injured. for those paying their respects at the site, a poignant reminder. the bullet holes can still be seen. over

the years, britain has offered its regret that never an outright apology. on a state visit in 1997, the queen called the events distressing. more recently, david cameron described it as deeply shameful. at today's ceremony, britain's high commissioner chose his words carefully. the revulsion that we felt at the time is still strong today. it tarnished the reputation and we regret the suffering and will continue to do so. suffering and will continue to do so. the massacre marked the beginning of the end of colonial rule that it's not until britain offers a full apology that some say this chapter in the story of the empire can finally be closed. let's ta ke let's take a look at some of the

other main news. the north korean leader kimjohn other main news. the north korean leader kim john has said other main news. the north korean leader kimjohn has said he other main news. the north korean leader kim john has said he will ta ke leader kim john has said he will take part in a third summit with donald trump but only if the us came with what he described as the right attitude. north korean state media reported the comments by mr kim on saturday. he urged mr trump to pursue a deal that was mutually acceptable. the spanish high court has jailed a former venezuelan military intelligence chief, pending a decision on whether to extradite him to the united states. a close ally of venezuela's format president hugo chavez, he was head of military intelligence for seven years. the us government has accused of drug trafficking offences. the so—called islamic state group says it carried out a suicide attack at a market in the pakistani city of quater on friday. many injured in the blast. it targeted members of the minority

properly investigated. i've signed this letter because i think the top priority is the accusations against mr assange for rape and sexual violence in sweden, and i was very concerned that that vitally important issue seemed to be getting airbrushed out of the conversation. the swedish authorities have been pursuing julian assange for years over allegations of rape and sexual assault, which he denies. at the same time, the united states wants mr assange extradited over hacking charges after his organisation wikileaks released secret material, including this video from a us military helicopter... come on. fire! gunfire. ..appearing to show firing at iraqi civilians in 2007. the home office isn't commenting on this letter, and as things stand, sweden hasn't requested that julian assange is sent there.

but if it were to do so, british law sets out what would happen next, and it could mean the home secretary deciding where he goes. and one of the criteria in coming to that decision is the severity of the alleged offences. after seven years of voluntary imprisonment, this weekend julian assange is actually behind bars, provoking a political row and a potential international dispute over his future. chris mason, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news. plenty more coming up, including this... doctors celebrate a new treatment called gene silencing, to reverse a gene that causes crippling pain. one of the centro's greatest mass murderers is reported to have died

redistributed among germany, france, portugal and luxembourg. the maltese government is not happy. it is standing firm in its refusal to take in any migrants, calling on other eu states to step up. it said the case was neither its responsibility or remit. italy's government also refused entry to the vessel. its ports have been close to humanitarian ships since lastjune. thousands of migrants and refugees are trapped in the libyan capital tripoli. italy, with eu support, has been training the libyan coast guard to intercept boats as part of a controversial deal that has seen a sharp drop in migrant arrivals. the italian prime minister, speaking earlier, called for a solution to the unrest in the country. translation: there is a real risk of a humanitarian crisis, which we want to avoid. when we think of libya,,

we think of bringing peace to a country that is vital for the balance of northern africa, the middle east, the whole of the mediterranean and the european union. the ship is operated by the german charity ci and takes its name from a three—year—old turkish boy that washed up on a beach at the height of the migrant crisis. the ship is the latest to have been left adrift off the coast of europe, as governments try to push migrants back towards africa. let's find out what is happening in the sport. thank you. we start at the masters. all the groups into their third rounds at augusta and it remains congested at the top. american tony fee now is out on his own at ten under par. two americans tucked in behind him at nine under, and then there is tiger woods. he isjust a couple of shots off the lead after

picking up two shots on his first nine holes. he is playing alongside ian poulter, who is also going really well on seven under. rory mcilory couldn't mount a challenge, he has finished the third round on one under par. to the premier league, a late win for manchester united at old trafford. they needed a couple of penalties to beat west ham. both converted by paul pogba. west ham were the better side for much of the game but united get the points and move above arsenal into fifth for the time being. a bad day for cardiff, they lost 2—0 to burnley and remain five points off safety in the week that he was charged over comments he made about match officials, there was another incident for cardiff boss neil warnock to get angry about as his side had a penalty decision overturned. the linesman gave it, the fourth official said he didn't see it, and yet he must have seen something because he went over and told the linesman it hit a part of his body so it can't be handball. i

thought darren made the right decision, if i'm honest but i think mike talked him into it. looking forward to hearing what he said. i'm sure by the time i get in, they will be singing by the same hymn sheet. i was told he didn't see it, so if he didn't see it, how could he see it hit his head if he didn't say? i don't know. can i say i'm lost for words? a bad day for brighton, thumped 5—0 at home by bournemouth and are now looking over their shoulders at the relegation places. their match with cardiff on tuesday is now a potential six pointerfor both sides. the rest of the day's results are at the bbc sport website. valtteri bottas fended off team—mate hamilton in a tight battle for pole position at the chinese grand prix as mercedes outpaced ferrari on a good day for them in shanghai. domination is a theme that runs through formula 1's history. alfa romeo controlled the first grand prix 69 years ago and now mercedes

are doing the same as it reaches 1000 races in china. but it is not the dominant driver at the top of the dominant driver at the top of the pack. valtteri bottas usually play second fiddle to mercedes team—mate and five—time world champion lewis hamilton. in shanghai, it was the thin challenging the proceedings. quicker in practice and qualifying to claim his first pole position of the season, edging out his british rival by just two hundredths season, edging out his british rival byjust two hundredths of season, edging out his british rival by just two hundredths of a season, edging out his british rival byjust two hundredths of a second. good weekend so far. starting from pole position, yeah. already co mforta ble pole position, yeah. already comfortable today and this morning in practice, in qualifying. struggled a little in q3 to get the perfect lap in but it was good enough. i've been struggling and fighting the car all weekend, chipping away at it. i was happier, eight tenths was the gap at one stage, so to be as close as we were, as we are at the end, it's fantastic. it's an incredible result for the team. after locking out the front row in bahrain a week ago,

ferrari slipped back. sebastian vettel a quarter of a second off the pace but his number one status over team—mate charles mcclurg has been confirmed by his boss was that he shouldn't despair, though, one thing that can upset the form book is a safety car and in final practice the rookie showed how easy it is to lose control at this track. britten's max whitlock has won pummel gold at the european gymnastic championships in poland. it was a brilliant performance by the 26—year—old who wins his first major title in almost two years, wins his first major title in almost two yea rs, after wins his first major title in almost two years, after an 18 month winning strea k two years, after an 18 month winning streak on the pommel starting at the 2016 rio games. and that is all the sport for now. thank you very much, see you soon. doctors have used a new type of treatment called gene silencing to reverse a disease which leaves people with crippling pain. the condition can also cause paralysis

and is fatal in some cases. the treatment works by fine tuning the genetic instructions that are locked into our dna. experts say the same approach could be used in other previously untreatable diseases. james gallagher reports. and the cows, look, moo! sue has endured pain few can imagine. she used to take strong painkillers every day due to a disease called porphyria. sue needed hospital treatment if she had a severe attack, but even morphine didn't stop the pain then. the pain, it's like nothing i've ever had before. i've had a child, i've done child labour but itjust feels like it's never going to end. it is so, so intense, so strong that it's in your legs, in your back and it just resonates everywhere. it's really, really unbearable. but sue's life has been transformed by a monthly injection of a new type of medicine called gene silencing. this is how it works. inside our cells are genes. they send out messengers

containing the instructions for running our body but in porphyria, an error leads to a build—up of toxic proteins. gene silencing intercepts the messenger, disabling it and restoring the correct balance of proteins. the study showed gene silencing cut attacks by 7a%, and half of patients were completely freed from the attacks needing hospital treatment. british doctors who took part in the clinical trial said the impact was amazing. these are very difficult patients to treat and they've had a very difficult time and i'm surprised, genuinely surprised, at how well it works in this condition, and i think it offers a lot of hope for the future. sue is now enjoying life without pain. i've had pain for kind of ten years. i did not expect that could go away. and to be able for that to have happened, i'm seeing friends and they are like, "you're not taking any painkillers?", and i was like, "no!" but the implications of this study go much further

than sue and porphyria. experts say gene silencing is an exciting new area of medicine, with the potential to work in diseases that are currently untreatable. james gallagher, bbc news. black pink, a korean pop group made history this weekend by becoming the first korean girl band to play at coachella. already the highest charting group in history, etc youtube record to become the fastest video to reach 100 million views. it got more than 56.5 million views in the first 2a hours, beating ariana grande to the top spot. here in london, a historian believes he has pinpointed the location of the home where william shakespeare wrote some of his most popular works, including romeo and juliet and a midsummer night's dream. evidence suggests the

bard took up residence in st helens bishopsgate in the late 15 90s. a theatre historian cross—referenced various official records to find the exact location. it's been known since the 1840s that shakespeare lived in this parish but the company of leather sellers bought this huge property in 15113 and still own it. so i started combing through the leases and remarkably, they preserved them and in there is not shakespeare's lease but the leases of two people who must have lived next door to him.|j was trying to find a clever shakespeare quote. before we go, a hundred—year german woman has started a new chapter by running for local council. a former sports teacher, she is focusing her campaign on reopening the outdoor swimming pool in her hometown foster she is running as a candidate in the election in may for a grassroots group that campaigns for sustainable

development. on that note, thank you very much for watching. hello. we started the weekend with temperatures well below average for the time of year and that is where they will start the part two of the weekend, tomorrow at least. many of us seeing some sunshine has a lovely view from murray earlier in the day but i'm expecting there to be more cloud developing tomorrow after a clear, sunny and frosty start for many of us. high pressure just about holding on but there is a weather front trying to push in from the west, so the further west you are, there will be a bit more cloud around and the chance of seeing some rain during sunday. away from here, an increase in cloud and you can see the extent of frost on sunday begins. well below freezing in the cold est begins. well below freezing in the coldest spots. plenty of morning sunshine but notice how the cloud is going to build. we will start to lose the sun behind the cloud. the

odd showerfor lose the sun behind the cloud. the odd shower for eastern scotland. a few in eastern parts of england and some patchy rain, the isles of scilly, cornwall, perhaps pembrokeshire and the further west you are in northern ireland. remember, we saw that weather front earlier. at the very least, more cloud. a strong south—easterly breeze, gusting in excess of a0 miles an hour in some spots. that adds an extra chill to an already chilly day and for many of us temperatures are pegged back into single figures. as we go on through sunday night and into monday morning, some of the clouds that we have had will melt away. under clear skies, some of us will have a thrust again but still towards parts of south—west england, wales and northern ireland, some cloud and the chance of seeing some outbreaks of rain and avoiding a frost. i think not quite as cold as we start the day monday morning. some sunshine, some cloud developing in most places dry, but again, close to that weather front we will see the chance of outbreaks of rain in parts of

south—west england, pushing into wales and northern ireland. it will bea wales and northern ireland. it will be a breezy day. temperatures are just edging upwards and that is a sign of things to come as we go through the week ahead. still going to keep pressure low to the west of us, high to the east of us but that position changes slightly and we will start to tap into some warmer aircoming infrom will start to tap into some warmer air coming in from the south—east. that will boost temperatures. initially, the week has some cloud and outbreaks of rain across western areas, then increasing sunshine and warmth.
