4:36 pm
return straightaway to our main story, sudan, very interesting development we have just been hearing about in those few minutes because we played you about an hour ago an interview with i share. she in that case have been looked at by officials in the british government, raised on the house floor in the house of commons by alicia cairns, the chairman of the foreign affairs committee and of course that case has been the one that i should's father who had been an nhs doctor for 30 years and gone back to sudan and couldn't bring his mother out because she didn't have the paperwork, a visa from the british authorities and was really struggling with that. we have gone through the airport at khartoum but were told they couldn't get on the flight. just in the last little while they have been told they can now catch one of these flights out of sudan. let me show you the live pictures from khartoum because that
4:37 pm
is what they will be getting away from. of course for two weeks now that so it has dominated the ferocious fighting is seen and as the clock counts down to the end of the clock counts down to the end of the ceasefire so much concern that it will flare up again and for those foreign nationals only hours left to try to get out and there has been this pocket of people where they have elderly relatives and they haven't, some of them, been classed within the category of people that can be brought out and alicia cairns telling us on this programme only yesterday that elderly relative should be treated the same way as children —— alicia kearns. and they should be allowed to get on these flights. and when this family tried at the start of the day they were still being turned away and they made another effort and frantic attempts and question again as i was saying raised with the foreign secretary james cleverly there in
4:38 pm
the house of commons and a change in the house of commons and a change in the decision so i should's sister, father and grandmother all being allowed onto that flight so a fragment of good news in all of that bleak back shop. that the latest there from sudan. you bleak back shop. that the latest there from sudan.— bleak back shop. that the latest there from sudan. you heard it then headlines. there from sudan. you heard it then headlines- a — there from sudan. you heard it then headlines. a new _ there from sudan. you heard it then headlines. a new report _ there from sudan. you heard it then headlines. a new report has - there from sudan. you heard it then headlines. a new report has warned| headlines. a new report has warned ukraine has — headlines. a new report has warned ukraine has more _ headlines. a new report has warned ukraine has more land _ headlines. a new report has warned ukraine has more land rides- headlines. a new report has warned ukraine has more land rides -- - headlines. a new report has warnedj ukraine has more land rides -- land ukraine has more land rides —— land and buried explosives than anywhere on earth. intense fighting in a pattern of the 50s and occupation by russian forces. they predict it could take years for the land to be cleared even after the conflict is over. let's speak now to the former british army head he was an expert in non—competitive warfare such as chemical and biological weapons. great to see you on the programme again. it is alarming this report to just the amount of ukrainian territory that potentially has

4:40 pm
it appears that the russians, as they were pushed out these areas, have put down many booby traps of these antipersonnel mines so that when people don't claim it, clear dead bodies, they then become casualties. dead bodies, they then become casualties-_ dead bodies, they then become casualties-— dead bodies, they then become casualties. , ., , ., ., ., casualties. yes, i was going to ask ou about casualties. yes, i was going to ask you about that _ casualties. yes, i was going to ask you about that because _ casualties. yes, i was going to ask you about that because you're - you about that because you're absolutely right. this report highlightsjust absolutely right. this report highlights just the cynicism involved with animals, mine being placed on them, dead bodies, double and triple booby traps. presumably that means the people de—mining they must have that knowledge in their heads that, actually, those forces are deliberately trying to trick them and actually try to target them. , ., , ., them and actually try to target them. , ., ,., ., them. entirely. i mean, the sort of doctrine behind _ them. entirely. i mean, the sort of doctrine behind mines— them. entirely. i mean, the sort of doctrine behind mines is— them. entirely. i mean, the sort of doctrine behind mines is to - them. entirely. i mean, the sort of doctrine behind mines is to slow. doctrine behind mines is to slow people down and certain organisations like the british trust already in ukraine to start to de—mine are very experienced. this is hard won experience across some
4:41 pm
of the most dreadful combat zones but, unfortunately, unscrupulous soldiers, the russians have really shown themselves to do this, have done these heinous crimes of booby trapping things so that when people try and go and clear them, they become casualties when they found the farmers trying to plough their fields to start feeding their nation again, they also become casualties. they will be lots of anti—tank mines. these are massive mines. they are not quite such person won't set them off. the amount of these antipersonnel mines around, as you say, is the report says, will take years to clear and that's why we need to get a resolution, a resolution, a piece here, the russians out of ukraine so we can start clearing these mines and help ukraine get back. by, start clearing these mines and help ukraine get back.— ukraine get back. a final quick thou:ht. ukraine get back. a final quick thought. how _ ukraine get back. a final quick thought. how do _ ukraine get back. a final quick thought. how do you - ukraine get back. a final quick thought. how do you begin - ukraine get back. a final quick l thought. how do you begin even ukraine get back. a final quick - thought. how do you begin even today that we have such vast amount of territory. presumably it is going to take a huge international effort was

4:44 pm
annualised basis with consumer spending still remaining pretty strong but many analysts had been expecting today's figures to be closer to around 2% and all of this will be adding to fears that the american economy is running out of steam so let's speak to samira hussain, standing by in our new york verve oh. interesting set of figures here. us has managed to fare pretty well when we think about things like the jobs market, well when we think about things like thejobs market, inflation coming down but these gdp figures disappointing as the specs's indeed, but not totally surprising to see the economy is slowing down given that the federal reserve has been doing. that the federal reserve has been doinu. , ., ., , , doing. they have raised interest rates by almost _ doing. they have raised interest rates by almost 596 _ doing. they have raised interest rates by almost 596 since - doing. they have raised interest rates by almost 596 since the - rates by almost 5% since the beginning of last year. what raising interest rates does as it affects how the cost of borrowing and industries that are really impacted by that are things like business investments, businesses are less likely to be invested into their
4:45 pm
operations, and then of course there is housing, mortgage rates, building homes and how much money that you have to spend on the forefront before building the home. those kind of things have been very deeply affected but as you rightly pointed out, consumerspending affected but as you rightly pointed out, consumer spending remains robust. the american economy depends really heavily on consumer spending for economic growth. and consumers in america continue to spend money. and in some respects, therefore, good news for the economy. that will keep the numbers ticking over. the politicians will also make a loss of this, won't they, as we approach the selection in the —— make a lot of this as we approach that election year. this will be a lot of news in the white house.— year. this will be a lot of news in the white house. right, because if ou look the white house. right, because if you look at— the white house. right, because if you look at what _ the white house. right, because if you look at what the _ the white house. right, because if you look at what the growth - the white house. right, because if. you look at what the growth numbers were for the american economy in the last three months of 2022, we saw that the american economy grew by 2.6%. then fast forward three months and we seem, while, it has really
4:46 pm
dropped by 1.1%. and we seem, while, it has really dropped by1.1%. it is and we seem, while, it has really dropped by 1.1%. it is certainly going to be a talking point and they contain point that the republicans are going to want tojump upon as they seek to try and win back the white house —— campaign point. remember, when you about the sitting president and your economy is not doing well it is ultimately that there is the burden of that in defending that economic record. yes. defending that economic record. yes, exactl . defending that economic record. yes, exactly- some — defending that economic record. yes, exactly. some ever, _ defending that economic record. yes, exactly. some ever, for— defending that economic record. yes, exactly. some ever, for now, thank you. good to see. samir has i now live in new york. elsewhere today, the un estimates that india has become the world's most populous country with more than 1.4 billion people. now the country's youth make up people. now the country's youth make up 65% of that massive number and experts agree it is now a huge potential for economic growth. but there is one big problem. not enough women in the workforce. and in the last few decades, the number of working women has fallen to record lows but as the bbc�*s report putting our reports, some efforts are now afoot to change that. a few

4:51 pm
looks to further reduce its costs. much more on stories on the business pages of the bbc website. bbc.com/sport is. if you want to reach me i am on twitter at bbc ben johnson. you're watching bbc news. matthew, back to you. studio: ben, thanks very much. see you again tomorrow. we can have a look at some of those industries here in the uk because teachers in england are on strike again in their long—running dispute over pay. this is the fourth day of industrial action this year in england by members of the national education union and on previous flight days more than half of the country's 22,000 schools were either closed or partially closed. here is our education correspondent.
4:52 pm
this is cheney school in oxford. we've spent time here amongst the busy corridors and classrooms. ok, through you go, through you go, through you go. there are 1700 pupils. blazer on? thank you. this term the head teacher has a lot to juggle... quick, quick, quick, come on, come on. ..with pupils taking exams and teachers going on strike. maintaining staff morale and the quality of education for the children is difficult. none of this is desirable but something's got to give. the thing that really damages the future of the country is underinvestment in education. today, over 1000 pupils are at home and most of their teachers are out on picket lines. what do we want? schools funded! the national education union wants a pay rise in line with inflation, fully funded by the government. this is a dispute about pay, but there are other pressures. teachers are leaving the classroom. teachers are seeing their salaries decline year—on—year, and it's nowjust a question that we can't get teachers. teachers are on their knees financially, psychologically. we do it because we love the kids. we don't want to be here, we don't want to be striking, we don't think we should have to be, but enough's enough.
4:53 pm
despite the strikes, there are still classes for pupils taking gcses, a—levels and vocational qualifications. children of key workers and those who are vulnerable are also allowed to come in. there's lots of the teachers in the same union that will be striking, but apart from that there won't be much different and lots of the teachers will be in and have said on google classroom to us that they will come in, and anything we're feeling worried about they will support with. hopefully you've all got your tangents... there is a dispute about the numbers in this row over pay. so far the government has offered school teachers in england a £1000 one—off payment and a 4.3% pay rise. the starting salaries for teachers is also due to rise to £30,000 a year by september. the offer has been rejected. now we're going through the independent pay review bodies, so we are all giving our evidence, so that's the process we are now undertaking and that's the process
4:54 pm
to hopefully try and come up with a settled position. what do we want? fair pay. when do we want it? now. there are no more talks planned with the government. another day of strikes across england is due to go ahead next week. elaine dunkley, bbc news, in oxford. one more story this half hour. thousands of native oysters have been reintroduced to the solent in england's south coast more than 30 years after stocks declined. an oyster reef has been laid as mcgill now reports. 15,000 oysters, rehomed on the river hamble in hampshire. we have been wanting to restore not just the oyster fisheries, we wanted to restore ecosystems that used to be in the solent. it's like the cold british version of the coral reef
4:55 pm
and all the things that presents. oysters, there are a delicacy but there nothing delicate about the way you eat them. the solent used to be one of europe's major oyster fisheries, supplying hungry customers across the country. we used to love oysters. you know, in 1864 in london alone, we ate 700 million oysters in one year. that a lot of oysters. and they came from places like the solent. they died out in the 1980s, due to poor water quality and disease. but two years ago, the first new oyster reef was laid in langstone harbour near portsmouth. it's hoped the two populations will migrate and mingle. the larvae that are released from the female oysters on this reef, each oyster can release up to1 million larvae. they will just spread around the whole of the solent, and then they'll bounce around the bottom of the sea bed, find a little nice patch that they want to settle in, and they'll grow up there. these oysters are a native european flat oysters, brought from fisheries in pembrokeshire. they're very 21st century species — they are essentially genderfluid, so they will all start as male,
4:56 pm
and then after approximately two to three years they are able to change between male and female states. and the males will release spurn into the water column, the female take it in, and they're really good parents, they will look after their larvae until they're ready, then they spit them out. once they've, kind of, spent two or three weeks in the water, they'll start searching around, when they develop a foot and then they settle. as well as being good parents, they are also good neighbours. an adult oyster can filter as much as 200 litres of water every day. so they can really improve water quality. they stabilise sediment, so they prevent things from washing away, act as a kind of natural sea defence, and also really enhance biodiversity, so they attract lots of other species to come and live on the sea bed. the oysters have been laid in no—fishing zones, while the populations are restored. we're on the reef, good to go. so anyone hoping for a solent oyster supper will be disappointed for several decades. anjana gadgil, bbc news.
4:57 pm
hello there. we've had some brightness earlier on across some eastern parts of england, and some sunshine in the northern isles, but on the whole today there's been a lot of cloud around and more of a breeze as well, and that's been blowing in two sets of weather fronts that are bringing areas of thicker cloud and some rain. despite all the cloud, temperatures across some eastern parts of england may be a little bit higher than they were yesterday, but still our top temperature is only 15 degrees. through the afternoon, into the evening, we've still got rain affecting many parts of the country. it could be heavier for a while across some eastern areas of england. the worst of that rain, then, moving out into the north sea, and things become a little bit drier in many places by the end of the night. still a lot of cloud so it's going to be mild, and milder than it has been of late across a good part of scotland. still some rain around to start the day tomorrow. a lot of that moves away into the north sea. we've got this increasingly light
4:58 pm
and patchy rain moving into scotland where it stays cloudy. england and wales, northern ireland, they may brighten up. some sunshine coming through. that'll lead to a few showers, especially in northern ireland where they could be heavy. temperatures here reaching 15 degrees. it could make 19 in the south—east of england perhaps, where we get some sunshine, so it's beginning to warm up a little bit. we're not tapping into that extreme heat that's across spain. instead, our weather tending to come more from the azores so it's a warmer direction, the winds more from the atlantic than from the south—west. and it's still going to be cold across northern parts of scotland. elsewhere, we've got a lot of cloud in scotland, northern england, depressing temperatures. england and wales and northern ireland, the chance of some sunshine but also some heavy and perhaps thundery showers. temperatures in the south—east could make 20 degrees. notice in northern scotland it's only around 8 degrees or so. moving into sunday, and again a little bit of sunshine but more showers probably breaking out. heavy and thundery, and some wetter weather sliding into the north—west of the uk. temperatures maybe a little bit lower on sunday, around 14—18 celsius. bank holiday monday, and at long last there are signs of an area of high pressure trying to build them from the atlantic. it may arrive a little too late. we still got the chance of some showers on bank holiday monday,
4:59 pm
