good morning. welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and sarah campbell. our headlines today: the government is drawing up plans to evacuate british embassy staff from sudan, as fighting between rival military groups continues. a sound that could save your life. a loud alarm will sound on all smartphones in the uk this afternoon as a new emergency alert is tested. tears all round as wrexham, and their hollywood owners, are promoted back to the football league after 15 years away.

well, you can see what it means. you can just see what it means. good morning. manchester city take another step towards the treble. a mahrez hat trick helps them see off. sheffield united and reach the fa cup final. and i am at the start line of the london marathon. more than 16,000 people taking on the telly today, including a 90—year—old, a wounded ukrainian soldier, and sir mo farah. good morning all. a rather cloudy started to our sunday and there will be some showers around. if you get some sunshine, particularly in the south, it will be a little warmer. but further north with the strong northerly wind colder compared to the last few days. all the details coming up shortly. it's sunday, 23rd april. our main story: the government is looking at ways of evacuating british embassy staff in sudan, as fighting between rival military groups continues in the east african country.

the united states says it has temporarily suspended operations at its embassy in khartoum and safely evacuated all us personnel. ministers here are expected to hold further meetings today about the situation. andrew harding reports. escaping from sudan, a few dozen saudi arabian diplomats and their families arrive home safely to a warm welcome. they have made a long and riskyjourney by car and then by boat across the red sea. this is what they left behind. more frenzied bombardments in sudan's capital, khartoum. use explosions across the city centre. and among the millions still trapped here, hundreds of citizens. having waited for over a week to be rescued, they are desperate to be rescued.

as brits, we are still very much in the dark and it is very difficult to put much faith in this statement that something at some point will be facilitated. we understand it is a fast evolving situation but to be honest with you, we are just in many senses been completely abandoned his. unverified footage from khartoum. it is no wonder that many foreign governments are still struggling to rescue their diplomats and other citizens. no ceasefire has yet held. humanitarian is getting blea ker. in several parts of khartoum in the capital, there are a rotating number of bodies in the streets, some of them being eaten by the dogs. no—one is safe in khartoum. water deliveries on the edge of khartoum. it is a0 degrees or more during the day here and the city's basic infrastructure has collapsed.

and still, ignoring international pressure, two rival armies fight on. andrew harding, bbc news, johannesburg. almost every smartphone in the uk will sound an alarm at three o'clock this afternoon when the government tests a new emergency alert system. it'll be used to warn people about serious risks that could threaten lives, such as flooding, wildfires, and even terror attacks. dan johnson reports. loud beep brace yourself for the three o'clock alert! up and down the country this afternoon, almost every smart phone will make this noise. loud beep tell me what you think? something different. it isa it is a new sound coming out of your telephone. loud beep 0k, not that bad, i thought it was going to be worse. it's not too bad.

it's not too bad. you think that is all right? yes. do you think people will get taken by surprise? yes, for sure. every phone will be doing that? pretty much. i am a little suspicious. why is it coming out now? you see what's going on in the world today and it makes you think. it could be a threat, it could be... that's why. the initial focus is extreme weather, warning communities about intense flooding or the risk of this sort of wildfires we saw last summer, but it could also alert us to terror attacks or criminals on the loose. the government says it will only be used in life—threatening emergencies. what i would say to people is please put up with the inconvenience for ten seconds because it is a test of a system that, in the future, could save your life.

voice on clip: the alert system is now live and will be used - to warn people... the government has been letting people what to expect but there are still concerns about confusion, the potential destruction for drivers and the risk of secret, hidden phones being exposed, especially those relied on by domestic abuse victims. one in four women will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime. 7% of women in england and wales experienced it in the last year, so it's safe to assume there are significant numbers of people that need to know that their safety may be at risk from these alerts and they can opt out turn it off. even phones on silent will make the noise. only aeroplane mode or actually switching it off will stop the alert but, apparently when you turn the phone back on, it will make the sound. there is a way to opt out: go into settings, notifications, and switch off "extreme

and severe alerts." oh my god! it is the same sort of system that warns americans about tornados. other countries use it for earthquakes or tsunami alerts. loud beeping the netherlands have something similar. you are not going to miss it. that is for sure. you are not going to miss it. that is for sure-— you are not going to miss it. that is for sure. and i bumped into joni from amsterdam. _ i think it is good that, you know, that if something you need to be warned about you will be warned. still, some people will not necessarily respond like baby rex. it has alerted him, so, yeah. that is your review i suppose. you need to test it on him. next time it will be for real. dan johnson, bbc news. at least two people have died and 12 have been injured at a restaurant in madrid after a waiter started a fire while flambeing a dish on friday night. plastic plants were set alight and local media reports that the flames spread near the entrance of the restaurant, making it harder for people to escape. an investigation has been launched.

25 people have been arrested after animal rights protesters tried to disrupt the scottish grand national. police intervened after activists rushed onto ayr racecourse before the race, which was won by kitty's light. security at the course was ramped up after protests delayed the start of the grand national last week. more than 16,000 runners will descend on london this morning as the marathon gets under way. among them will be sir mo farah, who may feel particularly emotional when he reaches the finish line after confirming this will be the last marathon of his career, asjoe wilson reports. this is where it ends. it's where it began. from a school boy mini marathon champion, london has witnessed over 20 years of growingmy career. 26 more miles today in his final marathon. i wonder in a way

need to keep a very close eye on, because they mightjust push up towards the london area of the next few hours and they could bring some showery outbreaks of rain for the marathon. as i say, that might suit some of us, because it's not going to be too cold and the showers might help at times. so we will need to keep an eye on that. there is the risk of some showers around. as we go through the afternoon, almost anywhere could see some showers, some heavy and possibly thundery as well. top temperatures in the sunnier moments, 15 degrees. what a difference in scotland. we will see damages as a maximum of 8— i2 celsius and a strong northerly wind. that will continue to dry some showers in the north overnight and some of those will turn wintry to the tops of the mountains as well. temperatures sitting at around two degrees, a milder night with all the cloud around, but showers should start to ease away into the southeast. the real cool air style to arrive as we go into monday. colder for all of us by the time we get into monday. there will be

upgrades of showery rain first thing, some of it heavy across wales and south—west england. start off with quite a lot of cloud, a few scattered showers into scotland as we go through the day some of that rain will drift its way towards the london area. here we are looking around 10— ii london area. here we are looking around 10— 11 degrees. in the rain it will feel that very disappointing but around 7— 10 degrees in scotland, considering scotland and temperatures in the high teens last week, a real shock. a widespread frost is likely monday night into the early hours of tuesday morning and temperatures could get as low as minus three degrees. by tuesday, hopefully, we will start off with a lot of sparkling sunshine. but still the wind direction coming from the north, still making you feel quite chilly at times. top temperatures around 7— i2 celsius. chilly at times. top temperatures around 7- 12 celsius.— chilly at times. top temperatures | around 7- 12 celsius.— around 7- 12 celsius. back to you two. just around 7- 12 celsius. back to you two- just when — around 7- 12 celsius. back to you two. just when we _ around 7- 12 celsius. back to you two. just when we thought - around 7- 12 celsius. back to you two. just when we thought it - around 7- 12 celsius. back to you two. just when we thought it was safe to go outside. you throw that to us. they don't know what is going to happen. they don't know what is going to ha en. �* ., ., ,

fellow comedians have taken to social media to remember a man they describe as a "true great." rob brydon tweeted: "it was a delight to call him my friend." the comedian said he was with humphriesjust days ago, in australia, and he was, as ever, making him laugh. he said, "his talent shone until the very end." matt lucas thanked the star for his inspiration. he said: "quite simply — you were the greatest." and ricky gervais wrote: "farewell, barry humphries, you comedy genius." he really was. yes, and as you would expect many pictures leading the newspaper headlines. the daily telegraph's front page has a large photograph of dame edna and carries a farewell, written by barry humphries before he died, in the words of his beloved character, titled, "we all know who the real star was."

the sydney morning herald has also dedicated its whole front page to the australian star. the headline, farewell possums, is a touching tribute to his character's most famous catchphrase. elsewhere, the sunday times is reporting that new drivers who are under the age of 25 may be stopped from carrying young passengers. the charity brake says new drivers with passengers of a similar age are four times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash. and one of the most popular articles on the bbc news website is about the hollywood a—listers celebrating alongside wrexham fans as the team won promotion back to the football league yesterday. and what a game it was. we'll be speaking to some of those fans on the programme throughout the morning. it really does have a little bit of everything that story.— it really does have a little bit of everything that story. even if you do not like _ everything that story. even if you do not like football, _ everything that story. even if you do not like football, it _ everything that story. even if you do not like football, it has -

do you consider yourself a guinea pig? no, i do not. i consider myself to be an explorer on the frontiers, trying to find out what is possible. tech entrepreneur bryanjohnson is spending millions trying to turn back time on his body. i refer to myself as a professional rejuvenation athlete. it is a new sport i want to create. i'm not a bio—hacker, i'm not a health enthusiast, i am a professional rejuvenation athlete. i love it. working with a team of 30 scientists, his daily life is dictated by an extreme regime of fitness, diet, tablets, tracking and treatments. i am chronologically 45 years old, biologically i am a few hundred ages. my left ear is 64. my fitness test say i'm 18. my heart is 37. my diaphragm strength is 18.

and i playfully say i am trying to become like an 18—year—old. my son is 17 so i always tease him and say, when i grow younger, i want to be like you. where is he taking me? wow. where to start in here! is this one of those devices that measures the age of your skin? that's right. how is yours doing? with me we have made about 22 years of progress in reversing the age of my skin. it takes all these images of your face and you get about ten reports on pore size, uv spots, red, brown. your skin is amazing. is this just from your regime or is there other help? other help too, we have some lasers over there. there are no injections — that's just from everything in here? that's right. what do we have next? this is something that also tells you the health of your cardiovascular system, so your age.

it looks at advanced glycinate product in your skin. if you want to try it, you can put your arm on it and it will tell you your age. the ideal score would be around two. so i am only a little bit too old for my age, it could be worse. what's next? ok, this is an ultrasound machine, medical grade. this is what you see in a hospital. are you having a baby? laughs who knows with what you're getting up to already! what are you actually using it for? we look at the brain, the lungs, the heart, the pancreos, prostate, tendons, ligaments, everything, it is really a useful technology to have in the clinic to do on a routine basis. how do you feeljust before you do any of this tracking? do you get a bit nervous, hopeful? do you have expectation? it is a game. some of my most happiest days are when we do these full measurement days. what is your motivation? are you doing this for yourself or for humanity? when i was 21 years old i decided that i wanted to spend my life doing something meaningful for the world. and i didn't know what to do so i said, i'm going to make a whole bunch of money

being an enterpreneur by the age of 30, then i'll decide what to do. since i sold my company, braintree venmo, i made $300 million and the question was, what could i do that would matter in the year 2500? and right now it could be ageing. if we slow the speed of ageing and even reverse it, it would change what it means to be human. do you think you are risking your health here? in all the things you're doing to protect it, do you think there's also some real risk? certainly, there is always risks but there is potentially an argument that we are being more safe than anyone else because we have the rigour of measurement. whilst bryan signed his life away to experimentation, i visit the buck, the world's first institute for ageing research. these scientists are working on drugs that they hope could delay age—related disease.

would you say there has been huge scientific advancement in this field recently or is there just a sudden trend for investment and interest in it? the science has matured in terms of we have been doing this for close to 30 years, understanding the basic mechanism of ageing, number one. number two, the sociatal needs are there, you have a rapidly ageing population with an increasing burden of chronic diseases. one really important discovery in mice here was the ability to reduce what are called senescent cells. these zombie cells play a useful role throughout our lifetimes but as we age, we acquire many more and as they also lead to inflammation, that increased number ends up providing a hotbed for cancer and all sorts of disease.

but maybe we are missing something. lifestyle is responsible for about 93% of your longevity. only about 7% on your genetics so you can't blame your parents. a lot of exercise, some fasting, a lot of good sleep, a lot of social connection, very little alcohol, try to spend at least 1a hours of your 24—hour day without ingesting any calories. if they work, why do we need to deal with this bigger picture? senescence is still going to happen. hopefully if you exercise, its going to be delayed by 10, 15, 20 years. i don't mean to be saying that lifestyle intervention is all that needs to be done, there is a need for science for the future. what is that thing that people do where they sit on the floor and try to get up without using their hands? whatever eric has been doing seems to be working. this is supposed to be some sort of sign of youth, if you can stand up

by not using your hands. how can anyone do that, pushing yourfeet down, how is that possible? how do you do that? i don't know. i think it means you are under 20 or something. exactly. i can't do it! our furry friends could get their paws on a life extending pill first though. # i love my dog to bits... you'll notice there are no great danes here, there are no large dogs here, and it's because they can have a lifespan of six, seven, eight, nine years, almost half of what a little guy like this could be expected to have. our hypothesis is that the short lifespan of big dogs is a disease. where are you at now

with the trial? we are kicking off our big, pivotalstudy, we are trying to understand does our drug extend life span and quality of life? it's a preventative drug, inhibiting the protein that we believe drives dogs to age fast. and if everything goes to plan we will hopefully have a drug on market in 2025. if successful, this drug could hasten the solution for humans as well. dogs have similar diets to us, they live in the same environment and they also develop the same age—related diseases as we do, approximately at the same kind of a lifespan, so if a drug works in a dog, it is not 1—to—1 as any human but it's much more likely versus, we do a lot of research on mice and that does not translate out all. in fact, i'm keeping my spirits up and i'm off to a longevity meet up. are these brainy scientists living the longevity lifestyle? there are still unopened bottles of wine, so probably!

tonight we had a longevity friendly mix of food, seaweed and so on. other parts of the industry have not been quite so wholesome though. for decades there has been a lot of snake oil, a lot of miracle pills, the god pill, all of this stuff. many have been desperate to believe, just ask this leading silicon valley doctor. leading silicon valley doctor. i don't know why people want to gamble with their health. i understand gambling with your money, if it is safe and not effective like a vitamin, some vitamin, then you are gambling with your money but if it is not proven safe, and it is not proven effective you are gambling with your health, and then there are people spending a lot of time doing these things and they are not living their life, they are living the version of their life to give themselves a future life, but what happens if the future life never materialises?

the good news is with all these blood tests, breath tests, urine tests, wearables, apps, there are so many things that track things so if you really want to, like if you are overweight and have high blood pressure, and you love your wine and your life, but you want appealed to make you live long, guess what? you cannot stop the wind with your hands. whether pills or procedures are proven or not, there are a whole lot of people who are really obsessed. some of this stuff seems a bit cultlike, this stuff. very cultlike and i try to protect my people against that cult aspect. we try not to let it become that way. there is one issue that none of this can resolve though. in the united states, the single biggest determiner of your life expectancy is your postcode, where you live. that is a problem that

cannot be engineered. and there are bigger questions over how we may need to work longer, the unexpected diseases that will emerge at these older ages, and our planet is already pretty busy. first thing to consider is these changes that we are talking about are not going to happen tomorrow, they are going to be happening slowly, the same way we have doubled our lifespan over the past 150 years, and we slowly adapted. the reality is we know a lot about the science of ageing. squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. but the big scientific breakthroughs are just are not there yet, so i guess i come away from this feeling more than ever that it is so important to live your healthiest life, just maybe not quite to the extent of brianjohnson. lucky us, we exist. let's play the most fun games we can for as long as we can.

football since 1999. they face brighton later to try to make the final the manchester derby first time in history. natalie priks, bbc news, wembley. leicester manager dean smith says their win over wolves will mean nothing unless they build on it. they are out of the premier league's relegation zone after a great goal from timothy castagne 15 minutes from time sealed a 2—1win over wolves. leicester were behind to an early goal but fought back to take all three points. and you can see what it meant to dean smith and his coaching staff in his first home game in charge. they move up to 17th on goal difference with everton, nottingham forest, and the bottom side southampton below them, while leeds remain in trouble after losing at fulham. and this was the moment nottingham forest were ultimately undone at anfield. after twice coming from behind to draw level they had no response for mo salah's strike which proved to be the winner, liverpool winning 3—2 which moves them to within six points of newcastle in fourth. they play tottenham later.

southhampton and everton in the bottom three. in the scottish premiership, runaway leaders celtic dropped points for only the third time this season. they were held to a 1—1 draw at home to motherwell but still have a 13—point lead over second placed rangers who play at aberdeen today. chelsea are still in with a shout of reaching the women's champions league final after a narrow 1—0 defeat at home to barcelona in the first leg of their semi final. chelsea looked in trouble early on after caroline graham hansen scored a great goal here after just four minutes. but they regained composure despite being without england defender millie bright through injury. there was another scare for the lionesses ahead of the world cup when lucy bronze went off with a knee problem but the barca coach said after the match that it she felt fine. she should be ok. there was another commanding win for england who are on course fora grand slam in the women's six nations. they beat ireland 118—0 in cork, with 27 points scored in the first half and eight tries overall. england head coach simon middleton made seven changes to the side that beat wales, they were frustrated at times but still comfortable winners in the end and can now focus

on a potential grand slam decider against france next weekend. scotland's12—match losing run is over. they beat italy 29—21 in edinburgh to pick up their first win of this year's competition. ronnie o'sulivan looks to be in ominous form at the world championship snooker in sheffield. the rocket has a day off today because he thrashed hossein vafaei by 13 frames to two with a session to spare, as he chases what would be a record breaking eighth world title at the crucible and the rest of the field probably need to watch out, because o'sullivan says he's fired up. sometimes when people doubt me — i did say don't doubt me i will tell you when i am done stop when they hear people doubt me, not necessarily usain, could be one of the commentators, who was a very good friend of mine, i'd take it as
