hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. the race to a green future. formula 1 sets itself an ambitious target to reach net zero emissions by 2030. not so long ago, they burnt 250,000 tonnes of c02 in just one season, so how realistic is that target? fi's head of sustainability is coming up. the us military is preparing a possible evacuation for american embassy staff trapped in the sudanese capital khartoum. us media reports say troops are being pre—positioned at a military base in djibouti. the pentagon is giving no details.

attempts by other countries to evacuate their citizens from sudan have been abandoned because it is currently too dangerous to move. the head of the sudanese army says he can see only a military solution to the fighting. general abdel fattah al—burhan has said he sees no room for talks with paramilitaries of the rapid support forces. in new york, the un secretary—general antonio guterres appealed for an immediate, three—day truce to mark the muslim holiday of eid. 0ur africa correspondent andrew harding has sent this report. another sunrise over khartoum, but still no sign of the promised ceasefire in sudan's shell—shocked capital. across this vast country, hospitals are increasingly overwhelmed. these, the victims of a power struggle between two rival armies, a war that's being waged in crowded cities with no regard for civilian life. doctors can't even reach

many of the wounded. 0ur volunteers didn't feel safe to go and to provide service apart from hospitals very close to their home area so far. but we are waiting for a situation to allow us to go there to provide service to all needy people, including wounded people. many families are trying to escape from khartoum, but the airport remains closed and there are growing reports of marauding soldiers, of looting. here, two army helicopters fly low over the river nile. these images filmed by a british businessman still trapped in the city centre. the buildings have been obliterated and pounded continuously. how far away? just metres away? yeah. and is that ongoing? because we hear talk of a ceasefire or attempts to get

a humanitarian ceasefire. there is no ceasefire. it's talk, it's all talk. 0n the edges of khartoum, the occasional hint of normal life. for years, people here have been hoping and pushing for democracy. instead, two generals staged a coup, then turned on each other — and now they risk plunging a huge and unstable corner of africa into deeper turmoil. andrew harding, bbc news. andrew harding is with us from johannesburg now, and our state department correspondent, barbara plett usher, is in washington. let's start with barbara, because this news in the last hour that the military is preparing something, may be a possible evacuation, barbara, how realistic is that at the moment?

the state department has been saying it is not realistic in the past couple days, although it has intensified efforts to get people out, especially on monday, when a us embassy envoy was attacked in khartoum. they have been saying it is too dangerous for people to exit the country, but it is looking at all possibilities, so if there is is this pentagon deponent of trips and acquittance to djibouti, that is something the paragon has not confirmed where it is but it has said it is sending additional resources to the region, to facilitate an evacuation, should circumstances require, then the options might increase. at the moment, as andrew was reporting, the airport is closed, so if there was going to be an error evacuation of the americans have to find some kind of secure landing zone in and around khartoum. the other options would be overland and those are not very easy. you contrive to drive people to port sudan on the red sea, but thatis to port sudan on the red sea, but that is a 12 hour trip and is not secure, to say the least. you could

perhaps drive people to nearby eritrea, but the leader of that country is not friendly to the us, not friendly to the west in general, and so with the us is doing is collecting his personnel from around the city and different areas and bringing them to a secure, centralised location to prepare for a evacuation and also pushing for that cease—fire, another attempt to get a cease—fire, along with the un and others, especially over the three—day muslim holiday of eid which starts on friday. and if they could get that, no help not foreigners but sudanese people trapped. foreigners but sudanese people tra ed. �* foreigners but sudanese people traued. �* , foreigners but sudanese people traued.�* trapped. andrew, maybe you could cive us trapped. andrew, maybe you could give us some _ trapped. andrew, maybe you could give us some idea _ trapped. andrew, maybe you could give us some idea of _ trapped. andrew, maybe you could give us some idea of where - trapped. andrew, maybe you could give us some idea of where the - give us some idea of where the embassy is and how many americans we might be talking about —— and that would help notjust foreigners. there are an awful lot of foreigners, foreign diplomats, businesses, trying to get their people — businesses, trying to get their people out of the country, but as barbara — people out of the country, but as barbara was saying there, at the

moment, — barbara was saying there, at the moment, there is no sign of that, no prospect— moment, there is no sign of that, no prospect of— moment, there is no sign of that, no prospect of that happening. 0ne prospect of that happening. one of the strange things about the way khartoum is laid out is that some of the biggest strategic sites that you'd normally expect to be on the outskirts _ you'd normally expect to be on the outskirts of— you'd normally expect to be on the outskirts of a city, things like the main _ outskirts of a city, things like the main barracks, the army headquarters, the airport, are all actually— headquarters, the airport, are all actually talks right into the heart of cartoon, —— of khartoum, and because those that the _ —— of khartoum, and because those that the main things the military are fighting over, it is almost impossible to separate the conflict from the _ impossible to separate the conflict from the citizens around them. this huge. _ from the citizens around them. this huge, crowded city of some 6 million people _ huge, crowded city of some 6 million people are _ huge, crowded city of some 6 million people are so, and given the fact that both — people are so, and given the fact that both sides seem to be resting any calts— that both sides seem to be resting any calls for a negotiated and to this, it — any calls for a negotiated and to this, it looks very difficult for foreign nationals as much as sudanese to get out, although we are seeing _ sudanese to get out, although we are seeing an— sudanese to get out, although we are seeing an uptick now i think in civilians — seeing an uptick now i think in civilians fleeing some of the suburban areas, where they are not

being _ suburban areas, where they are not being blocked, particularly by paramilitary troops, we have heard realty— paramilitary troops, we have heard really worrying reports of them going _ really worrying reports of them going on— really worrying reports of them going on booting sprees and robbing cars and _ going on booting sprees and robbing cars and stopping people from leaving — cars and stopping people from leavin. _ i, ., cars and stopping people from leavinu. . ~' ., , leaving. barbara, i know when i used to re ort leaving. barbara, i know when i used to report in — leaving. barbara, i know when i used to report in africa, _ leaving. barbara, i know when i used to report in africa, us _ leaving. barbara, i know when i used to report in africa, us aig _ leaving. barbara, i know when i used to report in africa, us aig were - leaving. barbara, i know when i used to report in africa, us aig were big l to report in africa, us aig were big donors, particularly in the darfur region of sudan, so traditionally they have had some leverage in sudan, but the soundings we have had from the president and from the state departments don't seem to be having any effect. what is the white house saying about that, even to get a cease—fire to get their people out? a cease-fire to get their people out? ,, ., , ., , a cease-fire to get their people out? ,, ., , .,, out? the state department has said, first of all, that — out? the state department has said, first of all, that although _ out? the state department has said, first of all, that although that - out? the state department has said, first of all, that although that us - first of all, that although that us embassy convoy came under attack, they don't believe that americans themselves are being deliberately targeted. it sounds like they were caught up in a very dangerous situation, although i should say we just had a confirmation from the state department that one us citizen has been killed. they confirmed one

has been killed. they confirmed one has been killed, although they have not named it. it is something they've been grappling with for several days and they have also got notjust several days and they have also got not just the several days and they have also got notjust the us embassy personnel and us aig people there and so on, they have got american citizens there. —— us aid. they do not tell us how many there are, it is hard to figure out. they had quite early on as things started to get more and more dangerous that american citizen should leave because the us embassy and the us government would not be in a position to co—ordinate an evacuation of all american citizens. they still say they are looking into different contingencies, but their focus i think at this point is very much on us personnel, and you have had secretary blinken heavily involved. he has called, had telephone calls with the generals from both sides, urging a cease—fire twice, thinking that perhaps he would get one, and that falling apart, working together very closely with a number of other countries in a group called the quad. that would

be present as well as the united arab emirates and saudi arabia, really pushing these international efforts, and then the other organisations, including the african union and the un, just try to get some sort of stability long enough least in the initial phase to get people out and they are hoping that if they can get the cease—fire that that might create some sort of move towards a negotiated settlement, but neither federal has given any indication that that might be the case, not even at the cease—fire itself might happen —— neither general has given. cease-fire itself might happen -- neither general has given. barbara plett usher _ neither general has given. barbara plett usher and _ neither general has given. barbara plett usher and angela _ neither general has given. barbara plett usher and angela harding, i plett usher and angela harding, thank you. just before the next door, there is a line from alec baldwin's lawyer of the actor alec baldwin, who says the rust criminal case against his client will be dropped. they were pressing forward

with involuntary manslaughter charges against alec baldwin. the initial charges have been downgraded and now it appears from what the baldwin lawyer is saying tonight that all charges have been dropped, so we'll try and get you some reaction to that over the course of next hour. judges in strasbourg will be unable to block migrant deportations if the uk government, as reported, amends the illegal migration bill next week so that ministers can in future ignore interim injunctions. the rule 39 orders of the european court of human rights were used to suspend the first scheduled deportation flight to rwanda injune last year. but now the government, bowing to pressure from conservative rebels, is planning some far reaching ammendments that would limit the powers of the strasbourg court to issue interim orders. reportedly, they have also included provisions to stop uk courts from granting injunctions — apart from in very limited circumstances. the home office agreed to modify the bill to ensure that only those

illegal migrants who face a "real risk of serious and irreversible harm" can avoid being removed. the bill returns to the commons for debate next week. i'm joined now by dr s chelvan, a barrister and head of immigration and public law at 33 bedford row in london. do you see any legal problems with what is being proposed? it is do you see any legal problems with what is being proposed?— what is being proposed? it is a lot of swiss cheese. _ what is being proposed? it is a lot of swiss cheese. as _ what is being proposed? it is a lot of swiss cheese. as most - what is being proposed? it is a lot of swiss cheese. as most of - what is being proposed? it is a lotj of swiss cheese. as most of these proposals are by the government in relation to migration. it is important to note that european court on human rights uses rule 39 and inter measures to stop expulsion or extradition in very, very small number of cases. we know from the european court of human rights between 2019 and 2000 2021... i ,and

, and only 625 applications were granted. 0ut , and only 625 applications were granted. out of that five and half thousand applications, only 180 were made by nationals in relation to uk decisions. zero applications were granted in 2019, only two in 2020 and only seven in 2021. only five and only seven in 2021. only five and 2021, sorry. in 2022, it goes up to 12, but that is only because of the specific circumstances in relation to a real risk of imminent risk or irreproachable harm or damage to the individuals was either very, very rare measures by the european court of human rights and use very, very rarely with those cases —— so these are very, very rare. i cases -- so these are very, very rare. , , ., rare. i suppose the government was to ut its rare. i suppose the government was to put its position _ rare. i suppose the government was to put its position beyond _ rare. i suppose the government was to put its position beyond doubt - rare. i suppose the government was to put its position beyond doubt by. to put its position beyond doubt by putting in statute. lemme put this to you. on the radio, the lord was saying under article 46 of the

european convention, uk is bound to honourfinaljudgements european convention, uk is bound to honour finaljudgements and that in international sense, the interim judgements, they are not mentioned in the convention, they were invented by the court for procedural reasons, so in actualfact, as an international law obligation, we are not bound by the injunctions, are we? it not bound by the in'unctions, are we? , , ., . not bound by the in'unctions, are we? , ., ., ., not bound by the in'unctions, are we? , . ., ., . we? it is important to note that since 2005, _ we? it is important to note that since 2005, the _ we? it is important to note that since 2005, the court _ we? it is important to note that since 2005, the court says - we? it is important to note that since 2005, the court says it. we? it is important to note that since 2005, the court says it is| since 2005, the court says it is desirable they are bound by these measures. how can the european convention on human rights actually work with the risk of... 0r convention on human rights actually work with the risk of... or an article to risk, try to left, if the court is not able to provide interim measure? ,., , -- i'm —— i'm making is unless strasbourg changes the road to calais with interim rulings, and what the government is doing here is setting out statutes that would rule that

out statutes that would rule that out or at least put its point of view forward.— out or at least put its point of view forward. , ., , , view forward. the problem with this is our international— view forward. the problem with this is our international obligations - view forward. the problem with this is our international obligations are i is our international obligations are under the european division hemorrhoids, as a state, we do not expel people where you could have a 13 there life. even the home office policy and generally this year makes it quite clear that where 39 applications are made and communicated to the united kingdom, we. removal. look at the earlier cases of 2012. the uk government did not make any issue regarding that and that is in relation to somebody who was very much a threat to national security. the problem with this case is that even the government accepts that they will have to have exceptions, it cannot be a blanket ban, and what we expect the parliament to do is either the house of lords rejects the amendment or we are going to be clogging up the courts, because what is good to happen, eithertheir the courts, because what is good to happen, either their in the court to

the illegal migration bill, these indivisible we removed to the scheduling rwanda of applications to return these intervals back to the uk -- return these intervals back to the uk —— either these individuals will be removed to rwanda... what they will end up having you do is pay for the fines, pay for the litigations, for those individuals who face real treatments of ill—treatment or real harm to be returned to the uk stop with that is regarding strasbourg. as you suggest they have also, or planning to, change the statutory powers of the uk court the moment, they can grant injunctions, but of course they can grant in'unctions, but of course ., , they can grant in'unctions, but of course ., , , ., they can grant in'unctions, but of course . , , ., ., , course what is statute grounds, he can take away _ course what is statute grounds, he can take away as — course what is statute grounds, he can take away as well. _ course what is statute grounds, he can take away as well. basically i can take away as well. basically could impose her chickens on the courts, correct? the could impose her chickens on the courts, correct?— could impose her chickens on the courts, correct? the problem with that is even _ courts, correct? the problem with that is even the _ courts, correct? the problem with that is even the united _ courts, correct? the problem with that is even the united kingdom l that is even the united kingdom government except on the face of the illegal migration bill, it is not compliant, it cannot issue a

statement, saying it is compatible with the european convention on human rights... they are subject to clear challenge by patty .. they theyare they are not compliant with uk human rights. this is not going to and here. it is only the start. the government is sitting very bad message in relation to trying promote human rights to countries around the world and then ending up making us a pariah state with members such as russia and belarus, not respecting the rights in the uk. dr s chelvan, thank you very much indeed. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. ministers are being urged to approach a third party to help resolve the long running pay dispute

withjunior doctors in england. the government has ruled out using an independent body to help with talks. the academy of medical royal colleges said flexibility was needed on both sides. a new report has called for a major overhaul of regulation to prevent the horrific abuse of disabled children in residential care across the uk. the child safeguarding practice review panel described the current system of inspections as "not fit for purpose" and has made a series of recommendations. it follows an investigation into abuse at three homes in south yorkshire last year. buzzfeed has announced its closing down its news site and cutting 15 percent of its workforce. the company's chief executive, jonah peretti, blamed the decision on financial challenges, a slowdown in digital advertising and the coronavirus pandemic. you're live with bbc news. this coming saturday, a billion people around the world will celebrate earth day, with time fast running out to keep global temperatures in check.

it is going to require significant adjustment and big commitments that apply to all sectors of the economy. so tonight we have picked one that you would never really associate with the race to net zero. it is the industry that worships the combustion engine — formula 1. they are three years into the transition. the target for formula 1 is net zero by 2030. and for an industry that ups and relocates from country to country, week to week, there are obvious challenges. it means innovation on fuels, engine types, tyre production, freight and track management, major changes to the annual race calendar. we are nowjoined by ellenjones in london, who is the head of sustainability at formula 1. she was former head of sustainability at print on —— preta —— pret a manger. i'm interested, did the skills and applications you put in place at pret a manger, are they transferable to formula 1?

hello, thank you for having me tonight. yes, we talk about sustainability, whether you are serving a sandwich or having a fantastic day out at an event. the same criteria. it is have a look at our carbon energy consumption, logistics and operations. there is a lot of crossovers naturally from hospitality, things like local supply chains, how do you show generosity without waste, but also the principles of sustainability are the principles of sustainability are the same regardless of what industry you are in. it is all about how you apply them to the end formula 1 is a fantastic place to be working to apply those in addition to the innovation that they bring. that is an important point _ innovation that they bring. that is an important point you _ innovation that they bring. that is an important point you make - innovation that they bring. that is - an important point you make because we're going to spread these expertise of the things that people learn, around different sectors of the economy. so would essentially you say that. let's talk about the burning question, quite literally but that is the fuel. how much of it is burned in any one beacon at the

moment and how do you race klien? —— anyone aweekend? moment and how do you race klien? -- anyone aweekend?— anyone aweekend? racing fuel, many --eole are anyone aweekend? racing fuel, many peeple are often _ anyone aweekend? racing fuel, many people are often surprised, _ anyone aweekend? racing fuel, many people are often surprised, is - anyone aweekend? racing fuel, many people are often surprised, is less - people are often surprised, is less than 1% of our carbon footprint, and the reason for that is two thirds of our carbon footprint is driven by travel and logistics of an travel and logistics impacts everyone, it is how you get from a to b, it is how you get people, get to school or get a pint of milk, and so it drives what our carbon footprint is, but where formalin can help is twofold. 0ne, we have a responsibility to change our own operations, to reduce how much we travel and travel more efficiently on better modes, but too we have road relevance in the technology we use. in 2026 having advanced the civil fuels in what are already the most efficient hybrid engines in the world gives more opportunity to say, how do we have road relevance to the technologies we need today? that road relevance to the technologies we need today?—

road relevance to the technologies we need today? that is an important oint. we need today? that is an important point- there is _ we need today? that is an important point. there is not _ we need today? that is an important point. there is not an _ we need today? that is an important point. there is not an attempts - we need today? that is an important point. there is not an attempts to i point. there is not an attempts to go to formula e, the electric cars. you will continue to raise —— race combustion engines coachella alum people ask, what technology are you going to used to get a net zero? from my perspective, i am a technology agnostic. i from my perspective, i am a technology agnostic.- from my perspective, i am a technology agnostic. i want to use the technologies _ technology agnostic. i want to use the technologies of _ technology agnostic. i want to use the technologies of today - technology agnostic. i want to use the technologies of today to - technology agnostic. i want to use the technologies of today to have | the technologies of today to have the right context. that does not rule out anything... you the right context. that does not rule out anything. . ._ the right context. that does not rule out anything... you are racing on biofueis — rule out anything... you are racing on biofueis in _ rule out anything... you are racing on biofuels in formerly _ rule out anything... you are racing on biofuels in formerly two - rule out anything... you are racing on biofuels in formerly two and - on biofuels in formerly two and formula 3 already. ih on biofuels in formerly two and formula 3 already.— on biofuels in formerly two and formula 3 already. in formula 2, formula 3 already. in formula 2, formula 3. _ formula 3 already. in formula 2, formula 3. they _ formula 3 already. in formula 2, formula 3, they are _ formula 3 already. in formula 2, formula 3, they are part - formula 3 already. in formula 2, formula 3, they are part of- formula 3 already. in formula 2, formula 3, they are part of our. formula 3, they are part of our racing series and nick eardley have 55% of their fuel is this advance sustainable fuel and that is a fantastic test bed for us. find sustainable fuel and that is a fantastic test bed for us. and what is that? what _ fantastic test bed for us. and what is that? what an _ fantastic test bed for us. and what is that? what an advance - fantastic test bed for us. and what i is that? what an advance sustainable fuel is, it is — is that? what an advance sustainable fuel is, it is effectively _ is that? what an advance sustainable fuel is, it is effectively not _ fuel is, it is effectively not from fossil fuel sources, fuel is, it is effectively not from fossilfuel sources, and fuel is, it is effectively not from fossil fuel sources, and you fuel is, it is effectively not from fossilfuel sources, and you can have two sources. 0ne fossilfuel sources, and you can have two sources. one is second or third generation biofuel and then next generation would be annis fuel,

the carbon would come from a direct air capture, and the point is that it can be dropped into a form of the one engine or it can be dropped into a road engine of how ever someone drove to get to theirjob today —— would be e—fuel. the reason that matters is internal combustion engines make up the global car park right now and so we need to have multiple options to help reduce what that carbon footprint looks like with the infrastructure that we have built in place. with the infrastructure that we have built in place-— built in place. what about the res, a built in place. what about the tyres, a particularly— built in place. what about the tyres, a particularly dirty - tyres, a particularly dirty industry, making tires, and you get through a lot of them?— industry, making tires, and you get through a lot of them? when we look at our tires. — through a lot of them? when we look at our tires, they _ through a lot of them? when we look at our tires, they are _ through a lot of them? when we look at our tires, they are part _ through a lot of them? when we look at our tires, they are part of - through a lot of them? when we look at our tires, they are part of our - at our tires, they are part of our net zero commitment. so you have to look to the entire life cycle for all formula tires are built, built is probably the wrong word... laughter go on, than. laughter goon,than. go on, than. manufactured in factories that _ go on, than. manufactured in factories that are _ go on, than. manufactured in factories that are powered . go on, than. manufactured in factories that are powered by| factories that are powered by renewable energy. the second thing you have to apply is, how many tires

do you use? we have updated our regulations to use less. third is, how do they travel around the world in the most efficient mode? tires, just like our cars and any piece of kit for our broadcasts, have to go to that same process of, how can we manufacture better, using renewable energy, using decreased supply? how do we manufacture less? and then obviously how do they function on the day, on the race day, to ensure we are still hosting a great event? there is a glaring problem in this plane for me and that is the travel between the countries. is a global sport, so that means your emissions are dependent on the others, notably the airlines, and we are nowhere neara the airlines, and we are nowhere near a fix on that, so how can you guarantee a net zero by 2030 if you are so travelling around the world? so when you look at travel and logistics, you have three main ways to reduce what your impact is. the first is the amount of travels. you have to reduce travel in the first

place and formula 1 has taken action in that way by... many of the things you see on the world feed or on the tv are actually all produced in kent, which is where our staff and a number of argument is based a bit so that helps reduce what needs to travel in the first place for study second thing you need to do is look at the mode of travel, so air freight, as you just talked about, is the beast carbon efficiently to travel, so we have to say, how do we reduce the need to travel by air freight? and you can do that in two ways. the first is looking to use sea freight, which means you have more sets of kit, the second is using more efficient trucks. and the third is something you don't see, which is actually, how do we travel less distance itself, which is using options such as regional hubs, so that the kit is not necessarily travelling the same routes as the calendar but actually stays in the region it started in. i calendar but actually stays in the region it started in.— calendar but actually stays in the region it started in. i suppose best

wraps to racing! the former sustainability manager at pret a manger who is taking over at formula 1. we will be right back. we will talk ai. stay with us. hello there. 0ur weather story for friday is a tale of two halves, the best of the weather once again through scotland and northern ireland, closest to this area of high pressure. these weather fronts will introduce some cloud and rain at times, be a bit of a nuisance, and that nagging easterly wind still making it feel rather raw on exposed east coasts. so first thing in the morning, the rain quite heavy across norfolk, lincolnshire, into the east midlands, gradually drifting towards wales. there'll also be some showery outbreaks of rain essex and kent. but north of that, not a bad start. it will be a chilly start. a touch of frost not out of the question across the grampian, but at least in scotland and northern ireland, you will have some sunshine and it will continue like that

for much of the day. that easterly breeze, though, always making it feel cooler on exposed east coasts. sheltered western areas seeing the best of the sunshine and warmth. and as we go through the afternoon, we'll see a line of more persistent rain stretching across the south coast. sunny spells and scattered showers driven in by that strong easterly breeze coming in off the north sea. so 10—12 degrees once again on exposed east coasts. further west, we could see 16 or 17 degrees. favourite spots once again, northern ireland and western scotland. here, the pollen will be high — it's tree pollen at this time of year. medium, perhaps, across much of central and eastern england. now, as we move into the early hours of saturday, we are likely to see this weather front producing some showery outbreaks of rain through scotland and northern ireland, and at the same time, we've got some showery outbreaks of rain into the south—west. sandwiched in between the two, drier and brighter, and once again, much of scotland will see some sunshine. but the temperatures really subdued by then, 11—14 degrees. and as we move out of sunday

into monday, we'll start to see this colder northerly flow take over and you really will start to notice the difference right across the country. so on sunday, we'll see some showery outbreaks of ranges —— so on sunday, we'll see some showery outbreaks of rain just drifting away from the east. drier behind it, but that northerly wind will make it feel quite chilly at times. so temperatures really falling away in scotland, 7—11 degrees by then. 11t degrees the maximum on sunday. and that's going to be the trend as we move into the week ahead. it will turn wetter and then much colder.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. it has the potential — however small one may make that probability, but it is nontrivial — it has the potential of civilisational instruction. think about things carefully, but you can't stop them, right? there's no point in all of us sitting here, going, "0h, al's going to destroy the world!" well, it's happening, right? welcome back. ai — an opportunity, a threat, maybe both? but whatever the future is for this new technology we need a strategy. who sets the rules for al and who enforces it. we will discuss this tonight with our panel — jack blanchard, uk editor

of politico, and miles taylor, former chief of staff at the department of homeland security
