live from washington. this is bbc news, welcome to viewers on pbs in america. sudan's warring forces start a 72—hour ceasefire after days of intense negotiations. russia's foreign minister faces the un security council. i speak to us ambassador to the un, linda thomas—greenfield. two massive rival american broadcasters part ways with top presenters. we'll take a closer look at the departure of fox news�* tucker carlson and cnn's don lemon. hello, i'm sumi somaskanda. we start in sudan, where a three—day ceasfire between two rival military

groups has come into effect to allow people to be evacuated, but there are concerns that it may not hold. hundreds of people have died since fighting started between the sudanese army and rsf paramilitary force. in recent days, more countries have attempted to evacuate their diplomats and citizens — this is a member of the dutch military handing out earplugs as they get ready to take off. and this was the scene as the spanish defence ministry helped diplomats and citizens on to their plane. live now to kalkidan yibetal, in the ethiopian capital addis ababa. it's good to see you. what is happening at the moment? is it realistic that this ceasefire will hold?— will hold? well, there are fears it might _ will hold? well, there are fears it might not - will hold? well, there are fears it might not hold, . fears it might not hold, because this is not the first time the two parties have agreed to a ceasefire. in the previous instances, this ceasefire did not hold, there

was fighting. but there are hopes at the same time, because the last ceasefire was similarly declared for 72 hours, starting friday, to mark the holy day as well as on humanitarian grounds. while there was intense fighting on saturday, particularly on sunday and monday, there were moments of lull which allowed people to evacuate their citizens, and to put in place evacuation plans. so the hope is that if this could hold for the next three days, it could allow many people to evacuate their nationals, and many sudanese nationals trapped in the fighting, particularly in conflict zones, to find safer shelters, to increase their food supplies, and to get necessary support.- necessary support. you mentioned _ necessary support. you mentioned those - necessary support. you mentioned those evacuations. we

the top of the next hour. thank you for watching bbc news in washington. hello there. very few places on monday had a completely dry day and temperatures struggled to get into double figures. we've seen the colder air down from the arctic move down across the whole of the uk. that's firmly in place right now. there are some weather fronts trying to push up from the south—west, but most of the showers that we had earlier on are getting drawn away into the north sea as that low pressure heads towards scandinavia. so as the showers die away, skies are clearing, and with the winds lighter, temperatures are falling quite sharply. it'll be a cold start to tuesday. lowest temperatures, scotland and northern ireland, —4 or —5 celsius. so, a frosty start for much of the country on tuesday. but it should be a bright and sunny one. as is quite typical for this time of the year, through the morning, as temperatures rise, the cloud will bubble up.

in the afternoon, it spreads out and it becomes increasingly cloudy. very few showers around, mind you, most of them in the north of scotland — again, a touch wintry over the hills — but the winds are a lot lighter here and we'll have light winds elsewhere as well. those temperatures ranging from 7 degrees in northern scotland to only 12 celsius in the south—east of england. so colder weather is in place, these weather fronts trying to move up from the south—west, making very little progress. we are going to see more cloud coming in overnight into wednesday, so the frost is going to be more limited to scotland and northern england. and here, there may well be some sunshine for a while on wednesday, so too northern ireland, but again the cloud will build up, we'll see a few more showers breaking out, mainly across northern england. further south, wales, the midlands and southern england look pretty cloudy. quite a dull day. bit misty over the hills in the south—west, and the clouds thick enough to give a few spots of light rain or drizzle. and those temperatures not really changing very much into wednesday. there is some milder air, as i say, trying to come in from the south—west,

but it's making very slow progress, pushing away that cold air that we've drawn down from the arctic. and it looks like whilst there could be some sunshine around for a while across northern areas, again, the cloud will increase and it's looking pretty dull further south. the cloud thickening in the south—west to bring with it some outbreaks of rain, into south—west england and south wales. those temperatures creeping up but only by a degree or two. it will be a cold start to this week, a chilly week ahead, certainly, with those early frosts around, before the cloud comes in, limiting the frost, lifting the temperatures just a little bit, but bringing with it later in the week the chance of some rain.
