there, so let's had to live to cairo and our correspondence there, ms beale, who is across this story. sally, give us an idea about the sort of numbers coming across the border? figs sort of numbers coming across the border? �* , . . , sort of numbers coming across the border? ~ , . ., , ~ ., sort of numbers coming across the border? �* , . ., , ~ ., ., , sort of numbers coming across the border? a . ~ ., ., , ., border? as far as we know, dozens of buses have — border? as far as we know, dozens of buses have been _ border? as far as we know, dozens of buses have been crossing _ border? as far as we know, dozens of buses have been crossing from - border? as far as we know, dozens of buses have been crossing from sudan j buses have been crossing from sudan into egypt. this is since the morning, carrying not only sudanese, but also egyptians who have been working and living in sudan and we expect many more to be crossing in the next few days. we don't have exact numbers yet, but from what we know, the movement of the buses across the border is nonstop. and actually, there is a huge sudanese community here in egypt. we are talking about more than 4 million sudanese, so maybe some of those who fled the fighting in sudan will have families or relatives staying here. they can just be reunited with them.
3:38 pm
but we don't know yet if the government has plans to set up temporary shelters for those fleeing the fighting and we don't know the preparations that, if they have put any preparations in place yet. but what we understand is that many of these sudanese who arrive in this country will most probably have a relative or a friend here or there to stay with. but the government has yet to announce its plans on hosting, not only sudanese, but any foreign national is fleeing sudan via the border crossing with egypt. and we also understand that there is a team of the egyptian red crescent by the border trying to provide any needed medical care. yes. by the border trying to provide any needed medical care.— needed medical care. yes, it is a ose needed medical care. yes, it is a pose each _ needed medical care. yes, it is a pose each of _ needed medical care. yes, it is a pose each of those _ needed medical care. yes, it is a pose each of those families - needed medical care. yes, it is a| pose each of those families come with terrifying stories of what they have actually escaped from. now, president cc had a telephone conversation with the british prime minister, rishi sunak, only last night, and of course the uk prime
3:39 pm
minister in the help the egyptians gave to get british diplomats out. we were just playing a couple of clips from people who still either trapped or have gone out on their own steam. are there any wider efforts being made by the egyptians to help with civilian evacuation is that those people still trapped in sudan? , , . i, ., sudan? this is what the egyptian government _ sudan? this is what the egyptian government is _ sudan? this is what the egyptian government is saying. _ sudan? this is what the egyptian government is saying. it - sudan? this is what the egyptian government is saying. it is - sudan? this is what the egyptian | government is saying. it is saying that it will do only what it possibly can to help in the evacuation efforts. and actually egypt was my position is pretty critical here because the chaos happening in sudan and the conflict might have repercussions on this country. i mean, both countries share their along borders and over the past few years they have been known as sometimes the porous borders, through which some
3:40 pm
smuggling happens, whether through human trafficking or smuggling of weapons, so any chaos taking place in sudan will make the egyptian authorities really nervous and this is why the egyptians are trying to step in to help, not only in evacuation efforts, but also in trying to convince warring parties to go back to a negotiation and try to go back to a negotiation and try to find out some sort of settlement, but so far nobody seems to be listening and in fact, the egyptians or the egyptian authorities are seen by many experts are siding with general al—burhan, the de facto leader of in sudan and head of the national army. this is how the picture is seen by a lot of experts. although the egyptian government says they are not taking any sides in this conflict and theyjust want things to be resolved through negotiations.— things to be resolved through negotiations. back to their own cairo. negotiations. back to their own cairo- thanks _ negotiations. back to their own cairo. thanks for _ negotiations. back to their own cairo. thanks for the _ negotiations. back to their own cairo. thanks for the latest - negotiations. back to their own l cairo. thanks for the latest from where you are. let's continue with
3:41 pm
this. —— sally nabil there. let's go to our correspondencejenny hill in berlin. the european response, take me through that?— me through that? yes, a number of euro ean me through that? yes, a number of european countries, _ me through that? yes, a number of european countries, germany, - me through that? yes, a number of. european countries, germany, france, italy, have had a degree of success in getting their citizens out. germany has managed to get three planes in and out. one of those planes in and out. one of those planes are virtually landed in berlin already, carrying 100 people. france has got nearly 500 out, italy nearly 100 and it is notjust their citizens they are carrying out either. 0n—board those flights there are people from a number of different european countries, smaller countries which don't necessarily have a diplomatic presence in sudan, but also from other non—european countries, african countries as well. and this morning we heard from the spokesman for the german military at a press conference and you can almost sense the relief in his voice as he talked about the german mission, what the germans have done is to base the omission out of an air base in
3:42 pm
jordan. they flew out some 1000 soldiers to help with the mission. they then negotiated with the sudanese army to access and land planes at an airstrip to the north of khartoum. people were then asked to make their own way to the airstrip, not an easy thing to do, of course, and then three planes were able to get in and out. we expect to further flights to land here in berlin later on today. i think we can assume that something similar has happened with the other large european countries who are still trying to get citizens out and i must say that actually germany, they reckon here that there is probably about 180 german citizens left in khartoum that they would still like to get out. that is based on a so—called crisis list, this is people who have registered themselves and said they want to be rescued. the german authorities have said they are going to keep trying to get people out, though of course it goes without saying it is not as easy as perhaps it sounds. you know, the missions they are carrying out
3:43 pm
her extremely dangerous and very, very difficult to organise. yes. very difficult to organise. yes, jenn , it very difficult to organise. yes, jenny. it is _ very difficult to organise. yes, jenny, it is interesting - very difficult to organise. yes, jenny, it is interesting you - jenny, it is interesting you referencing the airport because i was going to ask you, is it still ostensibly people being flown out all those land routes? we were just looking at them there, in terms of the borders with egypt, but are we still at a stage where country by country, they are doing this independently? 0r country, they are doing this independently? or is there any sort of plan being worked on, certainly within the european and the eu, some sort of coordinated international response that gets a number of nationalities out in one go? i response that gets a number of nationalities out in one go? i think it is somewhere _ nationalities out in one go? i think it is somewhere betwixt _ nationalities out in one go? i think it is somewhere betwixt and - nationalities out in one go? i think - it is somewhere betwixt and between. my it is somewhere betwixt and between. my understanding is that there is a large degree of coordination going on at political level, and logistical level and probably actually on the ground as well. we have heard stories of people turning up have heard stories of people turning up at embassies that don't represent necessarily their nationality who have been allowed to get onto a flight as well. so there is a degree of coordination. my understanding is that, for example, the british authorities are talking to the
3:44 pm
german authorities about potential ways of getting people out there as well. enormously difficult situation, of course. joseph borrell, the foreign, the chief or an official at the eu, has said that some 1000 eu citizens have been brought out, including the eu's diplomatic mission. interestingly, he pointed out that the eu's ambassador to sudan is still in the country, though not still in khartoum. country, though not still in khartoum-— country, though not still in khartoum. , , khartoum. jenny hill there in berlin. thanks _ khartoum. jenny hill there in berlin. thanks very _ khartoum. jenny hill there in berlin. thanks very much - khartoum. jenny hill there in berlin. thanks very much for| khartoum. jenny hill there in . berlin. thanks very much for the latest on the european elements of trying to get people out. ijust want to show the latest pictures, as jenny was talking they had coming to us here at the bbc, pictures of the rapid support forces. so one part of this armed conflict that has raged now in sudan for the last ten days or so, a convoy seen there in the capital stock that is what is so different with this explosion of violence, compared to previous ones, that so much of the fighting is
3:45 pm
actually focused in that densely populated capital, so those forces that the sudanese army have been saying that they planned to just wipe out and move out of their bases, well, they are still there in the capital and that is significant. in terms of the amount of fighting, there is a slight lull in the last few hours and that has meant that more people are attempting to actually get out. the red cross saying that after ten days of fighting the situation for civilians, it is becoming untenable, leading people to make desperate attempts to flee and that is what we have been hearing throughout the course of the last 24 hours, that people there on the ground are trying to come to their own conclusions, to weigh up the risks, to work out if it is safe enough to make an attempt to get out or to take the advice from the british government and others to sit tight, the inside of houses there in
3:46 pm
khartoum. so that is the dilemma that they are grappling with. before we leave this, it is worth just reminding you again that we are expecting the latest statement from the british government, so that is that they we are going to take live here and we think that is going to happen in about 30 minutes' time. so do stay with us on that because around the world and across the uk, you're watching bbc news. noted king penguin despite his misdemeanours. he noted king penguin despite his misdemeanours.— misdemeanours. he is on the christmas _ misdemeanours. he is on the christmas birthday _ misdemeanours. he is on the christmas birthday cards - misdemeanours. he is on the | christmas birthday cards every misdemeanours. he is on the - christmas birthday cards every year, so he is a local celebrity, definitely. 32 so he is a local celebrity, definitely.— so he is a local celebrity, definitel . x: , , , ., definitely. 32 penguins competed for the title. definitely. 32 penguins competed for the title- the — definitely. 32 penguins competed for the title. the contest _ definitely. 32 penguins competed for the title. the contest was _ definitely. 32 penguins competed for the title. the contest was organised | the title. the contest was organised by penguin international, a lobby group aiming to raise awareness of the bird's plate. you're going to be

3:48 pm
integrity in the days before that terrible accident. the disaster prompted an international outcry and promises by companies using international garment factories to ensure workers' safety. let's get more of this, that talk to the general secretary of the industrial global union. welcome to the programme. i know that your union helped negotiate that international agreements, but here we are ten years on. where are we when it comes for the fight forfair years on. where are we when it comes for the fight for fair pay and for safe conditions? i for the fight for fair pay and for safe conditions?— safe conditions? i think we can certainly say — safe conditions? i think we can certainly say that _ safe conditions? i think we can certainly say that for _ safe conditions? i think we can certainly say that for safe i certainly say that for safe conditions, we have come a long way. we have revolutionised the safety structures of the bangladeshi garment industry. through the years, we have made 56,000 inspections by professional engineers, 170,000 faults were found and 440,000 have been corrected already, so one safety we can certainly say we have come a long way. on wages, there is still a long way to go. in

3:51 pm
changing with less than a third of 18-24 changing with less than a third of 18—24 —year—olds in the uk wanting the monarchy to continue. commissioned by the bbc�*s panorama programme, the poll revealed that almost half of those asked from ethnic minority backgrounds believe the royal family has a ethnic minority backgrounds believe the royalfamily has a problem ethnic minority backgrounds believe the royal family has a problem with race and diversity. he was our reporter. as preparations gear up for the coronation, crowds have turned out for a royal engagement in york. it's exciting, the atmosphere's lovely. i think they make a lovely couple, and i think they're very dignified. there's a small, but noisy protest here, too. across the country, there are millions of people who want the monarchy abolished. they spend so much of our money on their lives, and their homes and their travel. we're basically wanting to raise awareness of the growing movement against the monarchy, and to object to the succession. panorama wanted to test attitudes to the monarchy, and commissioned an online poll from yougov. the poll of nearly 4,600 uk
3:52 pm
adults suggests 58% want the monarchy to continue, and 26% want an elected head of state instead. when yougov asked the same question injuly 2013 — a year after the queen's diamond jubilee — 75% of people polled said the monarchy should continue, and only 17% wanted an elected head of state. for young people, decline in support appears starker. in the new poll, less than a third of 18—to—24—year—olds said the monarchy should continue — compared to 64% back in 2013. do you care about the monarchy, is it something you support? no. i wouldn't say i don't care, but i'd say it's not necessarily something that i'm invested in. i'd say i wasn't invested in it. the only person i know who does support the monarchy— is my gran, and she loves it. charles has a problem with gen 2. the future of the monarchy for charles and for william,
3:53 pm
and the popular support — which they need — is really in the balance when it comes to the younger people. but those who know the king say he can connect. he has an amazing ability to reach teenagers, which a lot of people don't have. and i've literally been with him in prisons, in youth—offending institutes, injob centres, and he can make that connection. it is quite extraordinary. the poll also asked whether the royal family has a problem with race and diversity. it suggests nearly half of those from an ethnic—minority background think the royal family do — compared with a third of the population as a whole. tonight, for the first time, they tell their story. two years ago, in an interview with oprah winfrey, the duchess of sussex described remarks she claims were made by a royal she claims were made by a royal about her unborn child.
3:54 pm
concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. what?! the royal family denied any racism. no, we're very much not a racist family. l there's not a racist drop of blood in the king. ijust don't think it's a problem. it's made into a problem by those who wish to make it a problem. buckingham palace says his majesty and the royal household treat all matters of race and diversity with great seriousness. times have changed since the last coronation 70 years ago. so will the king adapt the monarchy? if the monarchy is going to be the thing that makes britain great, it's going to have to redefine what it is for the 21st century, because it's... it's living off the position it had over the past few centuries. the monarchy has been part of the fabric of british life for hundreds of years. as it's done throughout the ages,
3:55 pm
the crown will have to adapt to survive. jane corbin, bbc news. well, a quick pointer on that because you can read more on this story on the bbc website and for viewers in the uk, you can watch that full documentary on panorama tonight at 8pm. we will take a slight break in a moment or two and then the latest on sudan. let me show you again those pictures into the bbc in the last few minutes. this rss, the rapid support forces convoy there in the capital, khartoum, so the fighting continuing their as different countries try to get their citizens out. let me show you also pictures from the british house of commons, where we are expecting a statement in the next 15 minutes, the latest from the uk government with the us secretary of state just saying he government with the us secretary of statejust saying he has been in close communication with the us citizens in sudan to provide help and to facilitate departure roots.
3:56 pm
so all the focus is on evacuations. more on that here in a moment or two here on bbc news, don't go away. hello, we have a cold snap of weather on the way, certainly for the first half of this week, so gardeners and growers take note as we are likely to see widespread overnight frost. today a chilly feeling day for all areas, we will see showers and longer spells of rain. the northern half of the country will see sunny spells and scattered showers, blustery along the north sea coasts and sleet and snow over high ground. england and wales generally cloudy, outbreaks of rain pushing south eastwards across england. temperatures ranging from 5 in the far north of scotland to the low teens in the south. those temperatures fall away quite quickly tonight, you can see the blue colours extended across most areas, is a fairly widespread frost for the
3:57 pm
end of april. down 2—4 or minus five celsius. that is across parts of scotland in the far north of england, so it will be a cold and frosty start for many for tuesday morning, but dry and bright, plenty of sunshine around, any early mist and fog clearing away and it will stay fine and sunny for most, continue to see showers peppering the northern and eastern coasts, and some sleet and snow certainly over the mountains. after that chilly start, the chapters will recover a bit across the south into the low teens, single figures in the north, but it will feel cold for the time of year. as we head into the middle part of the week, subtle changes bringing high—pressure bringing light winds and fairly benign weather, but these weather fronts over the atlantic will try to push over the atlantic will try to push over the atlantic will try to push over the southern western areas, introducing more cloud they could be a few bursts of rain in the south, one or two showers further north, generally dry across scotland with an area of high pressure, as
3:58 pm
compared to what we will see south and west. again, a chilly field do things, 9—12. and west. again, a chilly field do things, 9—12 . thursday that milder air with the weather front slowly pushes north and east, slow process, but it looks like england, wales and northern ireland will see thicker clouded outbreaks of rain here, but it will be turning milder, whereas much of scotland and the very far north of england will tend to stay dry and quite cold, with a bit of practice, but variable cloud here as well. you can see temperatures recovering across the south, low to mid—teens, still quite cold in the north, but the red dust when out into the weekend and with weather fronts nearby could be fairly unsettled with cloud and rain at times as well.
