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

5:02 pm
to evacuate foreign nationals from the country continues, as intense fighting spills into a second week. britons trapped in the country, have talked about "feeling abandoned" by the uk government. but the rush to get diplomatic staff and civilians out of sudan has gathered pace. the european union says it's managed to extract more than 1,000 of its citizens, with france taking the lead in the operation. emmanuel macron said the evacuations on sunday and monday had extracted nearly 500 citizens and diplomats from the country. the dutch military have also played a role in the air—lift. germany deployed three planes to move people tojordan. italy and spain have also evacuated citizens — with the spanish mission including people from argentina, colombia, ireland, portugal and poland. others are trying to leave by road — with convoys of buses and coaches heading across land to port sudan on the red sea, as well as north, to the border with egypt. turkey has evacuated more
5:03 pm
than 600 people in 13 buses. finally, let me show you some of the latest pictures from khartoum — no let—up in the fighting in the densely—populated capital. these are the latest pictures of the rsf — the rival militia battling the sudanese army — on the streets of the capital. so far, the internatioanl push for a ceasefire has come to nothing. why make a tear from a british writer who was in khartoum when the fighting stuck out the dust started out. mi; fighting stuck out the dust started out. ~ , ,., , fighting stuck out the dust started out. g n, fighting stuck out the dust started out. , fighting stuck out the dust started out. g , ., ., ., ., out. my son is an irish national and he received an _ out. my son is an irish national and he received an e-mail _ out. my son is an irish national and he received an e-mail in _ out. my son is an irish national and he received an e-mail in the - out. my son is an irish national and l he received an e-mail in the morning he received an e—mail in the morning to head to the french consulate, the french embassy in one of the areas that was very severely hit. so i decided to take him and his sister,

who is not an eu citizen, but is british and american, and to try to get them to take her as well. she didn't have her british paperwork on her, and they very fortunately agreed to take me with them. so i wasjust planning on agreed to take me with them. so i was just planning on taking the children and remaining in sudan, but as it happened, they agreed to let me, and there were injured people being taken into the embassy. i told them i was a doctor if they needed anything, and they invited me and we were all extracted at the end of the day. were all extracted at the end of the da . ., . , , ., ., day. how much help did you get from the british government, if _ day. how much help did you get from the british government, if any? - day. how much help did you get from the british government, if any? we i the british government, if any? - received e—mail alerts once or twice a day, and it is extremely impersonal, just telling us to shelter and that they are working on something, but that there are no plans at current time dust present
5:05 pm
time. i'm in a chat group with other nhs doctors in various parts of the uk - nhs doctors in various parts of the uk — they are destitute, they are desperate, they have no way to get back to their wives, their husbands, their children. they've just come to visit because of the end of ramadan, the celebrations and now they are trapped. they fear for their safety, there is no cash, everything has gone up in price, you can't buy any food, water has run out, there's no electricity, you can't charge your phone the microphones. and with the government has done is it sends this message, if you need psychological support, call this numberfor support, call this number for psychosocial support, support, call this numberfor psychosocial support, and the number is a number in the uk — people don't have credit for phone calls. that was a british _ have credit for phone calls. that was a british doctor _ have credit for phone calls. that was a british doctor who just got out of sudan and has arrived in djibouti. we've seen in the last few

5:07 pm
proved quite challenging and complicated, the british in concert with the americans, and that seems to have gone very well. but now attention is turning to getting sicilians out, people with nothing to do with the diplomatic community. there are a wide range of numbers as to how many people we are talking about — britain has very extensive links with sudan, so there could be anywhere between 2—4000 british nationals, some of those will be dual british sudanese nationals, america's thought of 16,000. as you'vejust heard america's thought of 16,000. as you've just heard interventional saying, the airport is out of action, there's a small airstrip 30 km north of khartoum, that's being used already to extract diplomatic personnel, as you mentioned in your introduction, some european countries have also managed to get some of their relatively small
5:08 pm
numbers of civilians out, but now everyone is wondering, what's the best route to take? is it to do more of these extractions by air? that airstrip is very small, it's also being used by the sudanese military, so there could be publications there. there are many checkpoints, quite a bit of attention focused on port sudan, on the red sea with a bunch of british vessels we think heading in that desk democrat direction, and that may be where we see any wider action of civilians taking place, but we are not even close to that yet. the taking place, but we are not even close to that yet.— close to that yet. the british forei . n close to that yet. the british foreign secretary said - close to that yet. the british i foreign secretary said without close to that yet. the british . foreign secretary said without a cease—fire, we are severely limited in our ability to provide assistance to british nationals. there is no sign of any cease—fire in the coming days, so does that position, ultimately, will they be looking at whether they need to reassess that

5:11 pm
khartoum? �* , ., , what is actually happening there in khartoum? �*, ., , ., ., khartoum? there's no sign of a cease-fire _ khartoum? there's no sign of a cease-fire from _ khartoum? there's no sign of a cease-fire from both _ khartoum? there's no sign of a cease-fire from both generals, | cease—fire from both generals, who've had a reluctant call him monday morning, but still attacks especially in one hour away from khartoum where there are a lot of air strikes being reported today, and also in khartoum itself, there's and also in khartoum itself, there's a big fire reported. so most of the fighting that we've seen today, we've seen also in a place called darfur. the major thing today is people living in khartoum, they're just trying to find their way out, at least we've seen a bit of effort from african governments, there was a lot of concern there because while the us, uk and japan are bringing all their people out, on sunday we've not heard anything from african governments. but we've
5:12 pm
seen... they are being evacuated from their government, like in kenya we are receiving reports about 100 of those who have been evacuated who will be able to get into the country today, so a lot of effort going into evacuations, but the biggest concern now is a humanitarian crisis that remains for the nationals of sudan and the people being told to shelter in place because, like you've heard, there's no food or water, no electricity and currently in internet blacked out. we electricity and currently in internet blacked out. ~ . , internet blacked out. we are seeing ictures of internet blacked out. we are seeing pictures of the _ internet blacked out. we are seeing pictures of the various _ internet blacked out. we are seeing pictures of the various efforts - pictures of the various efforts people are making to get out by road, but the us secretary of state antony blinken said only a short while ago that there had been reports of looting and interference. give me a sense of how much those malaysians or sudanese forces are getting in the way or otherwise, of those people trying to get out? indeed, it's not an easyjourney to make. look at a person who is living
5:13 pm
in khartoum to port sudan, that 650 km away, they have to go through various checkpoints, almost all the people we've been talking to our reporting their bags being ransacked, their pockets being checked, cars looted, their valuables taken away from them. and this is either by people in uniform or people who have removed their uniform, so it's very difficult to tell who these people are, but militia. when these people get to the border, at some borders only women, children and the elderly are allowed to go through, the men are being asked to go and get their visas. we are seeing a lot of separations of families. that's a very interesting _ separations of families. that's a very interesting line _ separations of families. that's a very interesting line that - separations of families. that's a very interesting line that i've . separations of families. that's a | very interesting line that i've not heard before, the separation of families and men being asked to do something different to women and children. we were talking to paul
5:14 pm
adams about the diplomacy, the latest statements, we were talking about the us secretary of state antony blinken, who's made first public comment since the evacuation over the weekend, he said the department is in close communication with us citizens on possible departure routes. have a listen. some dozens have expressed an interest in leaving, and as i mentioned just a few moments ago, even with the withdrawal of our embassy personnel from sudan, our efforts to provide services to american citizens who were there, counsellor services, other services continues, and we are in regular communication with american citizens. we are looking to see how we can help them ensure their own
5:15 pm
safety, we've been working with allies and with partners to do as much as we can to enable them to find their way out if that's what they choose to do. now keep in mind that the over overwhelming majority of american citizens are nationals who have been living there for decades, for generations, and many want to continue to do that. but for those who are seeking to leave, we will continue to engage directly with them to see what we can do to help them, and as i said, with allies and partners as well, to help facilitate their departure.— facilitate their departure. antony banen facilitate their departure. antony blinken talking _ facilitate their departure. antony blinken talking about _ facilitate their departure. antony blinken talking about the - facilitate their departure. antony blinken talking about the us - facilitate their departure. antony i blinken talking about the us efforts to evacuate american citizens, we've seen multiple efforts across various european countries to do exactly the same. let's speak to barbara platt
5:16 pm
usherin same. let's speak to barbara platt usher in washington, and anna hall again, our correspondent at the hague alsojoining us again, our correspondent at the hague also joining us live. again, our correspondent at the hague alsojoining us live. antony blinken giving us multiple lines, but talking about twin efforts to get people out but also to try and communicate with both military leaders there in sudan to try to get some sort of records?— some sort of records? that's right, both efforts _ some sort of records? that's right, both efforts are _ some sort of records? that's right, both efforts are taking _ some sort of records? that's right, both efforts are taking remotely i some sort of records? that's right, i both efforts are taking remotely now because he's also suspended the us mission presence in khartoum, all us embassy personnel over the weekend, so trying to help american citizens at this point, they're trying to provide the latest information about the routes, whether they're secure or not, also folding them into convoys are already under way, so un convoys are already under way, so un convoy heading towards port sudan with many americans on it. but again, speaking to others who are not on this convoys, any information they might need to find a way out.
5:17 pm
as he said, it doesn't sound like there's a huge number of sudanese americans who are asking to leave, he said it was in the number of dozens, but nonetheless they were fully engaged with other allies on the ground who were trying to work together with them to get americans out. then of course, the efforts with the two generals, he's been actively engaged since the weekend, one of the state department officials said he was travelling late last week and he was often more on sudan time than the time where he was because he was trying very hard to broker this cease—fire in order to broker this cease—fire in order to facilitate cease—fires and he military and access, so he's spoken to the generals on both sides on both times... so long with the african union and african trade bloc to try to extend a cease—fire so it

5:22 pm
people out. more on the situation in sudan, we will now return to that story later on the programme. let's turn to another story that has just broken in the last half an hour or so that i brought you, which is that the right wing us rebroadcast or fox news says it has parted company with tucker carlson, one of its most controversial and popular presenters. they said mr carson had made his last appearance on the network already, they didn't say why. the announcement comes days after fox news agreed to pay almost $800 million after misinformation about the 2020 us election. let's head to michelle with the latest on that breaking story. that's quite an democratic development. it is. democratic development. it is, matthew _ democratic development. it is, matthew. fox _ democratic development. it is, matthew. fox is _ democratic development. it is, matthew. fox is essentially - democratic development. it 3 matthew. fox is essentially breaking up matthew. fox is essentially breaking up with one of its biggest stars —
5:23 pm
it issued a boilerplate statement thinking him, saying they've agreed to part ways, thanking him for his service. if you look typically at how these things play out in american television, often you get stars of that stature getting a farewell show, stars of that stature getting a farewellshow, but stars of that stature getting a farewell show, but that doesn't seem to be the case because the statement says that mr carlson's last programme was friday, 21 april, but when he closed out that show, he said, "see you on monday." it's unclear what triggered this or whether mr carlson knew that would be his last show or not. wc is reaching out to him to try and find out what comments he has to say about that —— the bbc is reaching out to him. it comes after this huge settlement in the dominion defamation lawsuit that fox news reached just last week. at the same time, the company's legal woes aren't over because it faces another lawsuit from another election technology company, smartmatic, and
5:24 pm
there is another outstanding lawsuit from a former tucker carlson producer named abby grose berg who sued the company and mr carlson saying that it was a hostile work environment. so whether that is connected to this at this point, we just don't know. it’s connected to this at this point, we just don't know.— just don't know. it's interesting because we've _ just don't know. it's interesting because we've had _ just don't know. it's interesting because we've had those - just don't know. it's interesting| because we've had those couple just don't know. it's interesting . because we've had those couple of lines in the statement where there is so much to this story we don't know, the fundamental question to be answered is why. 0ne members only last week when that court case was ongoing, potentially it was going to see rupert murdoch and some of its star hosts in the documentary giving evidence — was he one of those people behind—the—scenes talking about their discomfort? he people behind-the-scenes talking about their discomfort?— about their discomfort? he was certainly one — about their discomfort? he was certainly one of— about their discomfort? he was certainly one of those. - about their discomfort? he was certainly one of those. i - about their discomfort? he was certainly one of those. i don't i about their discomfort? he was - certainly one of those. i don't know if you remember, there was a lot of talk about e—mails and text messages from tucker carlson that were revealed during the discovery process that takes place typically ahead of charles like that. in which
5:25 pm
they revealed that while he was saying one thing publicly to his viewers, privately he expressed disdain for former president donald trump. so it created embarrassment for the company, but certainly it wasn't unique, there were other text messages from other hosts and anchors equally expressing similar incredulity at some of the claims they were broadcasting on the air. so it's unclear whether it's related, but it's worth pointing out that tucker carlson is one of its key stars. he regularly brought in 3 million viewers during the prime time slot, so i think you can't underestimate the dollar impact this could have on fox news going forward. it doesn't rely, like other cable networks, so much on digital advertising revenue, but the fees it gets from the cable companies to carry fox news, and will they be as

5:27 pm
building through the afternoon. but still a peppering of showers northern, eastern scotland, eastern england. again, they will be wintry in nature, and a chilly day to come. temperatures of 6—11 degrees further south. now, through tuesday night, temperatures take a tumble again across northern areas. wintry showers continuing for northern scotland, but thicker cloud will be pushing into parts of england, wales, perhaps northern ireland as well. so temperatures here not as low as what we'll see tonight, but another cold one certainly across northern england, scotland. temperatures perhaps in a few spots below —5 celsius. for wednesday, then, we start to see these weather fronts trying to push into the south and the west of the uk associated with low pressure, and that will start to push some milder air in here. but it's going to be a rather cloudy, dull day, ithink. probably the best of any brightness the far north, north—east of the uk. again it's going to be another cold day here. temperatures slowly recovering across the far south and south—west, 13—14 degrees. now that low pressure's still with these weather fronts. milder air continues to journey northwards on thursday,
5:28 pm
so it could be that much of england, wales, northern ireland will see those weather fronts. thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain, some of it heavy at times, and the milder air. whereas again, the far north of england, scotland still poking out into the high pressure and the cold air. another chilly day to come here, but we start to those temperatures recover across the south. we could be up to 14—15 degrees thursday afternoon across some southern areas. the mild air does win out, though. friday into the weekend, it will be turning milderfor all areas, and there will be quite a lot of cloud, some rain around, too.
