last little while we have heard that israel has proposed hosting the rival sudanese leaders for talks. so the israeli foreign ministry are just saying that any last little while, just that one sentence, a whole flurry of international efforts to get a truce. all of them have failed so far, but israel now proposing hosting rival sudanese leaders for talks, so we will keep an eye on that development. whilst we were hearing from andrew mitchell in the house of commons, we were also getting the latest views from us secretary of state. worth going through the key conclusions he has been talking about because he says the state department continues to be, in close communication with us citizens to provide information on possible departure routes, including americans travelling overland in the un convoy to port sudan. dozens of american nationals, he says, have expressed interest in leaving sudan. he also has said that the sudanese

people are not giving up on the democratic future and neither will we. so those are some of the latest comments from the us secretary of state. we will be live in the british house of commons in the next little while to get the latest on that statement from the british government. but we will come away from sudan for a moment or two and we will head to the bbc sport centre because it is time to round up all the sports news of the day and get on its back. yes, thanks very much indeed. the chinese snooker players through to the quarterfinals of the world championships in sheffield, the chinese player being the lowest ranked player left in the tournament had 80 of the world. he started the day 11—5 up against wilkins, the englishman tried to fight back, but couldn't stop the chinese player clinching the match by 13—7. he will play anthony mcgill in orjack lisowski in the last eight. the match against wilson will also

we go, that is all the sports news, just a reminder to domestic viewers can see the rugby league match at 6:30pm on sports day and also you can see that on the bbc sport website as well. that is all from us, we'll be back with more later on, see you then. that return straightaway to the crisis in sudan. we have seen various countries scrambling to get foreign nationals out. these are the latest pictures of the rss, the military group in the capital, khartoum, so despite all of the fighting over the last ten days, they have not even been driven out of the capital. we have seen so many artillery shells and attacks going on through the course of the capital. let me give you two lines that have come on in the last couple of minutes because the us secretary of state, antony blinken, says, convoy is trying to leave khartoum have encountered problems, including robbery and looting, and we're also hearing in the last few moments that a french frigate is

heading for port sudan to help with the evacuation efforts. so those are some of the latest details, though some of the latest details, though some of the latest details, though some of the latest pictures. let us bring in the conservative mp and chairman of the parliamentary foreign affairs select committee, elizabeth cairns, who just saw a moment or two ago are asking a question in the chamber of the house of commons. galicia, welcome here to the programme. we have been playing a few interviews and clips of british nationals who are still trapped in khartoum. incredibly frustrated that they feel abandoned by the british government. what do you think when you hear accounts like that? i you think when you hear accounts like that? , ., you think when you hear accounts like that? , . ., , . like that? i understand their ab'ect fear. you know, i like that? i understand their ab'ect fear. you know, the i like that? i understand their ab'ect fear. you know, the reality is h like that? i understand their abject fear. you know, the reality is food| fear. you know, the reality is food is running out, water is running out, there is looting taking place, british nationals have every right to be incredibly scared of that is why i urge the government to evacuate all of our people as soon as they can. in evacuate all of our people as soon as they can-—

as they can. in terms of the explanations _ as they can. in terms of the explanations you _ as they can. in terms of the explanations you heard - as they can. in terms of the | explanations you heard from as they can. in terms of the - explanations you heard from the minister, he has been in various media, the radio, the television through the course of the day and now they're in that statement. have you heard an explanation as to why other partner countries, the germans, the french, a long list of others have been able to get their citizens out, but not the british? so, no one is playing downjust how complex this is. the biggest difference between us and our european allies is that we have thousands of people on the ground, whereas most of our european partners have just a few hundred, so thatis partners have just a few hundred, so that is a very different challenge to have to face. but it is no question that i feel incredibly frustrated that we have not as yet evacuated british nationals. i want to see clarity on that and if for some reason there can only be a limited evacuation or no evacuation, i would urge the government to find the moral courage to tell the people of britain, rather than leaving them in limbo, so that british nationals can get themselves out of sudan. yes, but points and we heard you say that on the floor of the companies

house, that is incredibly important, isn't it? because we have heard any number of britons in sudan saying they have registered with the foreign office, they have done the various bits they are supposed to and basically they are not getting clarity about what they should do. they are confused, they are in a dilemma about whether to stay inside or whether to make an attempt themselves. do you understand that that isn't a position that they need to be in? they need clarity. absolutely and that is what i'm calling for. but for now because i do not have the intelligence or the government plans in front of me, i would also urge british nationals to stay where they are, to make sure the british government knows where they are by filling in those forms because that is the only way in which they can be evacuated, should that be possible. we want them to be safe. we know it is not safe to move around khartoum and that is why the government is rightly raising the fact that no evacuation will be without harm. we unfortunately heard that a french soldier is in critical condition and this will continue to

be the situation, i believe evacuations will continue to be incredibly challenging. this is the most difficult situation i think the government has faced in my lifetime. the reality as well, though, is that there can be no evacuation is without risk, given what is happening on the ground. do you think perhaps they need to reassess the decisions? because the french and the others have the same backdrop of risks, but they are making different decisions. that backdrop of risks, but they are making different decisions. at this oint, m making different decisions. at this point. my belief — making different decisions. at this point, my belief is _ making different decisions. at this point, my belief is based - making different decisions. at this point, my belief is based on - making different decisions. at this point, my belief is based on whatl making different decisions. at this| point, my belief is based on what i know, but the foreign office trains us, i was trained how to run evacuations, we train our armed forces to go into those difficult situations to evacuate people. the british government has a social contract with our people to get them out of these sorts of situations. at this time, i believe that the risk warrants getting them out because i cannot see a ceasefire coming forward. we are seeing looting and i believe the situation is only going to get worse. d0 believe the situation is only going to get worse-— believe the situation is only going to networse. ., ., , ., to get worse. do you have any idea, as ou to get worse. do you have any idea, as you are — to get worse. do you have any idea, as you are talking _ to get worse. do you have any idea, as you are talking to _ to get worse. do you have any idea, as you are talking to me _ to get worse. do you have any idea, as you are talking to me now, - to get worse. do you have any idea, as you are talking to me now, how i as you are talking to me now, how you would possibly do that, given everything that is happening on the

ground was back and is there a case, perhaps, for a wider effort, a multinational effort, rather than the uk trying to do this somehow on their own? 50. the uk trying to do this somehow on their own? ., �* ~ their own? so, i don't think the uk would be doing _ their own? so, i don't think the uk would be doing this _ their own? so, i don't think the uk would be doing this on _ their own? so, i don't think the uk would be doing this on their- their own? so, i don't think the uk would be doing this on their own. i their own? so, i don't think the uk| would be doing this on their own. it is very clear that we have been in constant contact with our allies, constant contact with our allies, constant discussion and i myself spent the weekend speaking to my equivalent counterparts around the world, as well as government such as thejordanians. there are two current roots being used, which is crossing by land and then onto boats, but that is 500 miles of very complicated journey, of which there will be multiple crossings. it took the saudis two days to get their people across that, and there is the airstrip, but we know the airstrip is degrading and we know some people are trying to cross by landing to egypt. there are no easy answers, we really have to be clear on that, but at this point i do believe our duty is to get the british people out of sudan because the risks they face on the ground to grave. just sudan because the risks they face on the ground to grave.— the ground to grave. just an effectual— the ground to grave. just an effectual level, _ the ground to grave. just an effectual level, how - the ground to grave. just an effectual level, how many i the ground to grave. just an - effectual level, how many people currently, british nationals, do you

are just not getting through. a final point and that is a relevant point in terms of communications, but in terms of the next 24—48 hours, what do you want to see from the british government? irate hours, what do you want to see from the british government?— hours, what do you want to see from the british government? we have 'ust been told that — the british government? we have 'ust been told that a — the british government? we have 'ust been told that a military i been told that a military reconnaissance unit is on the ground, according to media reports. the minister did not confirm that himself. the priority is making sure we know where every british national is. please, please get in touch and fill in those online forms. the government needs to decide what its evacuation criteria is, so they are very clear about who they can and cannot evacuate. they need to then get out those they can. hopefully everyone. if they cannot get people out, they need to be very clear about that so that no british national is left in limbo. alicia kearns, thank _ national is left in limbo. alicia kearns, thank you _ national is left in limbo. alicia kearns, thank you so - national is left in limbo. alicia kearns, thank you so much i national is left in limbo. alicia| kearns, thank you so much for joining us and thank you for doing so quickly after asking that question there on the floor of the house, we are grateful for your time and those votes. we have had the latest on the sudan crisis. it is so fluid with developments all of the time, so we will keep across that

and bring you every development as it comes into us. i want to turn to a breaking story that has just emerged as i was talking there to conservative mp. this is on a totally different story, but it regards fox news and one of their star hosts, tucker carlson, who is to leave the network. a statement, a one line statementjust coming into us, of course, only last week we saw that huge settlement from fox news with dominion, a row about whether fake news was given to us viewers around the voting machines and whether the election in 2020 had been stolen from donald trump. and that settlement coming right at the start of that court case, three quarters of $1 billion. and we knew that some of their star hosts behind the scenes had been so uncomfortable with what the channel had actually been broadcasting after that

election defeat for donald trump and that news coming only less than a week after that settlement in the courts that tucker carlson is to leave fox news. that is breaking. it has just happened and we will return to that and bring in more detail from the us and from our team is here in the uk. so do stay with us, we will have plenty more on that story, plenty more on sudan because around the world and across the uk, you're watching bbc news. spike, the king penguin, is now king of the world. voted most popular penguin in an international online voting competition. and that is despite his past misdemeanours. he: pulled on sir david attenborough nearly ten years ago filming a programme. and he is on the christmas and birthday cards every year, so he is a local celebrity, definitely. 32 year, so he is a local celebrity, definitely-— year, so he is a local celebrity, definitel . x: , , , ., definitely. 32 penguins competed for the contest was _

this is the cbi, the confederation of british industry. they said that a failure to act allowed a very small minority of staff to believe that they could get away with harassment or violence against women. the embattled group was responding to an independent report by a law firm after two allegations of rape at the cbi. it said they made mistakes that lead to terrible consequences. let's get reaction from investment director at aj bell, russ mould. this is fairly devastating for the cbi, who are already really facing some major problems? already really facing some ma'or roblems? , ., already really facing some ma'or roblems? , . ., , problems? they are, i am sure there are an awful— problems? they are, i am sure there are an awful lot _ problems? they are, i am sure there are an awful lot of _ problems? they are, i am sure there are an awful lot of really _ are an awful lot of really well—intentioned people working there, they will be really distressed that rare reputation has been besmirched by the actions of a minority. i guess what is important here is those who have suffered this terrible behaviour will now get some degree of closure and have their cases listened to more clearly. it clearly reflects on people at the very top because they set the tone and culture and i know that mr danko

is refuting the specific allegations against him, the director—general who was fired last week. clearly just in terms of the overall culture it was allowing to fester, he has good questions to answer there. i guess they will be focusing on the positives about the cbi, such honesty about the behaviour that has gone on is the first step to doing something about it, now it is a matter on whether its members, whether the membership is still worth it or not, but there is perhaps one step towards redemption. and i want to ask you about another big story occurring today and this is credit suisse because the collapsed banking giant has revealed results today the bank's last quarter before it had to be rescued not long ago by swiss rival, ubs, the first quarter of the year, and they illustrate the scale of the crisis that was around the corner for them? , crisis that was around the corner for them?— crisis that was around the corner forthem? , . , ., , , for them? yes, we saw customers pull 69 billion us — for them? yes, we saw customers pull 69 billion us dollars _ for them? yes, we saw customers pull 69 billion us dollars from _ for them? yes, we saw customers pull 69 billion us dollars from the - for them? yes, we saw customers pull 69 billion us dollars from the bank- 69 billion us dollars from the bank in the first quarter of the year and credit suisse said those flaws are stabilising, but still not reversing, so money is still leaving

the bank. i guess that still represents a bit of a challenge for ubs, which is inheriting the situation, but clearly the what the takeover by ubs was designed to do was reassure customers that their money was within a big, well—financed and well—run bank. credit suisse was losing money and had been poorly controlled and managed and ubs's big job now is to reassure those customers and tell them the customer service remains just as good as before and therefore they will be perfectly safe and can leave their money where it is. fiifi leave their money where it is. ok, treat to leave their money where it is. ok, great to have _ leave their money where it is. ok, great to have your _ leave their money where it is. ok, great to have your analysis on both of those stories, russ mould, thanks for the beer with us. the american retailer bed bath & beyond has failed for bank prop —— filed for bankruptcy after failing to secure more funding. they want back in january that they were having trouble trying to find cash to cover expenses. bed bath & beyond became really popular in the 19905 as they goo to shopping destination for newlyweds and expecting couples, but

"i'll give it a couple of weeks, but i don't think it's going to be my thing," but then they fall in love with it and he adored it, but he was an extraordinary man, a brilliant man.

he was so passionate about dance that even if he would just explain, and it was the minutiae because i still, i have been there for 900 years and i still do not know what a heel lead is, and then he would go, "but claude, we're notjust saying it because actually if you stand like this, it makes your back like that." and he used to come on it takes two every week and we would go, "len, can we get you a tea?" and he would say, "don't be silly, i'll make the tea." he had no understanding ofjust how big he was, how much people loved him. in my own house, we still never use the word seven, we say seven differently. he changed a whole number for so many of us. we would chat a lot and he started doing the american show and i said, "how is it? are you tired?" blah, blah. he said, "no, i really enjoy it. "but," he said, "what is hard, though, is "queueing for the rental car because... "and then i would want to go and get my favourite "cereal and i would have to

"stop and do photos and i always enjoy doing it..." and by the way, just to reiterate, this at the moment, it was the biggest show in america and i said, "len, it is lovely, but how long are "you queueing?" like we all do for a rental car. he would be like, "well, i never want to get to the front of "the queue because i feel bad i am taking someone's place and they are "asking me about the scores i've given to someone else, so i have "probably been in the queue for about three hours and then at the "supermarket that might take another couple of hours." i was like, "len, you know you could get a cab?" and he went, "i don't want to be a bother." so he was this enormous star, but the most humble, the most gentle, never even wanted to... it was a privilege to know him and work with him in a sense much love to his family and friends.

gardeners and growers take note, as we are likely to see widespread overnight frosts. today a chilly thinning time for all areas, the northern half seeing rain. scattered showers plus trade down the north of scotland and north sea coasts, sleet and snow over higher ground. england and wales generally cloudy and outbreaks of heavy rain pushing south eastwards across southern england. temperatures ranging from 5 in the far north of scotland to the low teens in itself. those temperatures fall away quite quickly through tonight. you can see the blue colours extending across most areas, so fairly widespread frost for the end of april down to —4 or minus five celsius across parts of scotland in the far north of england. it will be a cold and frosty start for many the tuesday morning, but dry and bright, plenty of sunshine around, early mist and fog clearing away and stays fine and dry for most, we will continue to

see showers peppering more than east of posts, a windy feel to north scotland, and sleet and snow across the mountains. after a chilly start can temperatures will recover across the south, into the low teens, single figures in the north, called for the time of year. as we head into the middle part of the week, subtle changes, light winds and fairly benign weather, but these weather fronts over the atlantic will try to push into the southern and western areas, introducing more clouded they could be a few bursts of rain in the south, one or two showers there and all. generally drier across scotland with that area of high pressure, as what we will see further south and west. again, a cool and truly feel two things, 9-12 . but cool and truly feel two things, 9—12 . but 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 pics of clouded outbreaks of rain here, but it will be turning milder, whereas much of scotland and the very far

north of england will stay dry and quite cold. a bit of brightness, but variable cloudier as well. you can see temperatures low to mid—teens in the south, still quite cold in the north, but the milder air winds out later in the week and into the weekend and with weather fronts nearby it could be fairly unsettled with rain and cloudy times as well.

welcome to bbc news. in the next 60 minutes, we'll have all the big uk stories, together with the latest breaking lines internationally. the head of the united nations warns the sudan conflict could engulf the entire region, as countries scramble to get foreign nationals out of the country. but there's criticism of the british government's response. i cannot imagine that these nations have been able to do that — the americans have been able to do that — that the british government, great britain isn't able to coordinate a mission such as this. the fighting is now into a second week — at least 400 are dead. we will hear from our correspondence shortly. the

government has called for an
