this is bbc news. the headlines — the head of the un warns the sudan conflict could engulf the wider region as the scramble to get foreign nationals out of the country continues. the british government defends its response to the situation. two weeks before the coronation, a new bbc poll suggests less than a third of young adults in the uk want the monarchy to continue. the american news anchor tucker carlson is leaving the fox network. this week after the corporation was forced into expensive legal settlement with dominion, the firm

was organised electronic voting in the us election. and the former strictly and dancing with the stars judge len goodman has died at the age of 78. now more on the crisis in sudan as there is growing frustration among british civilians in the country. dual mats have been evacuated but civilians speaking about feeling abandoned by the government as its thaw upward of 4000 britons are in sudan given the strong historic links between the two countries. 0n the ground, there is no sign of a cease—fire. we have seen rebel forces there moving around the capital so let's head to amsterdam where we are joined by a british— sudanese writer born here in london and raised in khartoum where his family remained until 1990. welcome to the programme. when you watch what is happening there in sudan, no sign of any pause despite the

repeated pleas from the international community. what do you make of the situation? this international community. what do you make of the situation?— make of the situation? this is in my oinion make of the situation? this is in my opinion the — make of the situation? this is in my opinion the worst _ make of the situation? this is in my opinion the worst existential - make of the situation? this is in my opinion the worst existential crisis | opinion the worst existential crisis the country has faced since independence. we have seen coups and revolutions before. we have seen three decades of the sheer�*s rain. and i have never seen anything as bad as this, and i really think this is a tipping point. something has to be done. i don't know what exactly, but certainly i think pressure has to be brought to bear not only on the two key players here but also on the two key players here but also on the outside elements that are supporting them. and if this goes the wrong way, we're looking at a major catastrophe for the entire

region and i think that's no overstatement.— region and i think that's no overstatement. . , ., overstatement. that is what the un secretary general _ overstatement. that is what the un secretary general was _ overstatement. that is what the un secretary general was saying - overstatement. that is what the un | secretary general was saying earlier in the day and we also heard from the us secretary of state who said the us secretary of state who said the people of sudan will not give up on democracy and nor will we, american allies. but realistically we are a very long way from anything democratic, are we not? yes. we are a very long way from anything democratic, are we not?— democratic, are we not? yes, but we have to get — democratic, are we not? yes, but we have to get back _ democratic, are we not? yes, but we have to get back to _ democratic, are we not? yes, but we have to get back to some _ democratic, are we not? yes, but we have to get back to some form - democratic, are we not? yes, but we have to get back to some form of- have to get back to some form of civility before we can get on anything like the road back to civilian democracy. and i mean, i think we have seen in the last decades perhaps a tenancy particularly in the west look at places like sudan and say, ok, not much we can do there and perhaps we should pull ourselves back and let things develop but that simply creates a political void. and people, other actors are willing to step into that space and make it their own and that's what we are

seeing now. i don't think that the general would have dared to do something like this if he was not pretty sure that he would get some kind of support and backing from somewhere, so this is not something thatis somewhere, so this is not something that is just happening somewhere, so this is not something that isjust happening in somewhere, so this is not something that is just happening in a somewhere, so this is not something that isjust happening in a vacuum. it's happening because what has happened and it is certainly happening as a result of several decades of building up. fin happening as a result of several decades of building up.- decades of building up. on that oint of a decades of building up. on that point of a vacuum, _ decades of building up. on that point of a vacuum, people - decades of building up. on that point of a vacuum, people have already pointed out the concert with all of these evacuations we are currently seeing from foreign governments of their nationals, that once that is done, something feels the vacuum and real concerned about that. are you concerned about that, too? i that. are you concerned about that, too? ., , , that. are you concerned about that, too? . , ,~ that. are you concerned about that, too? . , ,, too? i am pretty concerned this is siml too? i am pretty concerned this is simply- -- i — too? i am pretty concerned this is simply--- i can — too? i am pretty concerned this is simply... i can see _ too? i am pretty concerned this is simply... i can see from - too? i am pretty concerned this is simply... i can see from the - simply... i can see from the headlines in recent days that the tension is turning understandably to the plight of the citizens who recall in this violence that's going

on. but at the same time important to remember that there are many millions of civilians who were trapped in this who have no other option. there is... there are civilians trapped between two fighting officers, military men, and there is nobody else who is going to come and get them out of this. it has to come from without the country and i'm afraid that attention or interest in the case will diminish as soon as we start to get british and american and other european citizens out of there.— citizens out of there. that's quite a bleak assessment. _ citizens out of there. that's quite a bleak assessment. a _ citizens out of there. that's quite a bleak assessment. a final - citizens out of there. that's quite - a bleak assessment. a final thought, how do you see this playing out? i hear your concerns and i also recognise what you hope might happen but what you think is going to happen? but what you think is going to ha en? �* ., but what you think is going to ha . en? �* ., ., but what you think is going to ha en? �* ., ., ., but what you think is going to hauen?�* ., ., ., ,, . ., happen? i'm not going to speculate but i think happen? i'm not going to speculate but i think the — happen? i'm not going to speculate but i think the danger _ happen? i'm not going to speculate but i think the danger at _ happen? i'm not going to speculate but i think the danger at the - happen? i'm not going to speculate i but i think the danger at the moment is i cannot see how the rsf is going

to produce a military victory out of this. it's going backwards and forwards but at the end of the day the national army have superiority in weapons and so forth of the danger would be the rsf then decides to retreat from khartoum and moved to retreat from khartoum and moved to the west with her is also fighting going on and continue the fighting going on and continue the fight from there which would be to protract into a long drawn out conflict. that would also affect countries around sudan. and definitely have a judgemental effect on the economy and the health of people in the country. so again i have to emphasise there has to be... we have to get this thing now and really start acting now because it's fine to make statements from a distance but they really has to be behind the country. so again i have to emphasise there has to be... we have to get this thing now and really start acting now because it's fine to make statements from a distance but they really has to be behind—the—scenes talks to try and get these people who can influence, who can bring some pressure to bear on these two actors, to get them to

with race and diversity. jane corbin reports. 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. i we're basically wanting to raise i 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 4600 uk 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 z. the future of the monarchy for charles and for william, 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 about her unborn child. 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, the crown will have to adapt to survive. jane corbin, bbc news. you can read more on that story on the bbc website, and for viewers here in the uk, you can watch a full documentary

on panorama tonight at 8pm. len goodman, the ballroom dancer and tvjudge who made dancing accessible to millions, has died at the age of 78. he was a dancer and teacher until in his 60s, strictly and dancing with the stars made him famous. lizo mzimba looks back at his life. let's hear from our head judge, len goodman. if you don't get four tens for that, i'm going to go home and pickle me walnuts! he was strictly�*s twinkly fountain of wit and wisdom. yum, yum, pig's burn, that was fun! you dance like i cook, just chuck it all in and hope for the best! honest if he didn't like it... it was like you were chewing a toffee! seven! ..full of praise if he did. it was knockout. well done. from len, the ten.

in his youth, len goodman was a champion dancer himself, quitting his job as a welder to turn professional. he quietly ran a dance school in kent until he was 60. then, to his surprise, the bbc called. let's hear from our head judge, len goodman, one of the most respected ballroom and latinjudges in the country. in the cha—cha—cha, i look for three things — rhythm, rhythm, rhythm. why, why, why? he did 14 series of strictly. it was a hodgepodge of moves, just out there to titillate the taste buds. where's the chasse capes? where's the twist turns? where's the recognisable paso doble? and cross the atlantic as head judge of america's dancing with the stars. and i want to see flashing lights! he was a class act. there was nobody like him.

he was so humble. he loved to dance. i mean, his face would light up. lots of people take part in strictly and are like, you know what, i'll give it a couple of weeks, but i don't think it's going to be my thing. and then they fall in love with it. and he adored it. he was an extraordinary man, a brilliant man. his late in life fame also gave him the opportunity... love it! ..to present everything from travel programmes... you're getting a ten from len! ..to game shows. if you've got the time... len's got the rhyme! he left strictly in 2016, bathed in respect and affection. there you go! your best dance. yes! len goodman, the east end boy...

it's like looking in a mirror! ..who became the star of saturday night. len goodman who's died at the age of 78. to head to the website with the many wonderful attributes, the latest from darcie bussell who says i'm so saddened to hear, the gift of gab and i'll neverforget saddened to hear, the gift of gab and i'll never forget the fruit and veg as descriptions of dance and he was also professional, grounded, respectful, supportive but never shy to say how it was. that is almost it for me. let's go back to our main store and get to many developments there in the crisis with the eu saying it's managed to extract more than 1000 of its citizens, including those from france, italy, the netherlands and spain with everything clued in the us and uk having pulled out diplomatic staff in the last few days. i want to show you these pictures in the last few minutes

showing un workers who have been evacuated from khartoum arriving in port sudan, hundreds of kilometres northeast of the capital by the red sea and this is what the head of mission had to say to them. i’m mission had to say to them. i'm ha . . l mission had to say to them. i'm happy. i'm _ mission had to say to them. i'm happy. i'm glad _ mission had to say to them. i�*m! happy, i'm glad we are all here, safe, coming from khartoum in a very, very long journey, but we did it together. we had some challenges on the road. it was not first—class airlift, but i think it was good that we all together moved out. 35 hours in a not so comfortable convoy is certainly better than three hours sitting under the shelf. i'm grateful to all of you that you did not make it complicated, that you cooperated and i'm even more grateful that you all came here

region and beyond. that is it for me. marion has latest on that story, don't go away. hello there. the weather's been quite mixed today. we've seen some heavy, in fact thundery rain across parts of southern england. further north, it's been brighter with sunny spells, scattered showers. some of these have been wintry in nature. tonight, the colder air advances southwards to pretty much all areas, and with light winds and clearing skies, it's going to be a perfect recipe for some frost. so, gardeners and growers, take note. we will continue with the peppering of showers, northern and eastern scotland, north sea coasts of england. and again, they will have a wintry element to them. you can see widespread blue colours indicating a widespread rural frost, down to —4 or —5 celsius across central and northern parts of the uk. so we're waking up to blue skies, but plenty of frost tomorrow morning. early mist and fog clears away. the frost and the fog will clear very quickly as the temperatures rise, and as the temperatures rise, we'll see some fairweather cloud

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, 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.
