all rolling in the deep #. and — the singer adele joins james corden for the final carpool karaoke in his last week as host of the the late late show. welcome to bbc news — we start in sudan — where the 72 hour ceasefire, is in its final hours. the uk foreign secretary told the bbc — that now is the time for people to move. it's totally unclear what happens after the midnight deadline local time — efforts continue to extend the truce. the uk operation — with round the clock flights — has so far evacuated 536 british nationals. ——has so far evacuated 700 british nationals. many have been speaking about the nightmare of the last few days — and the perils of the escape.

the flights are only one way people are getting out — thousands more, sudanese and otherforeign nationals — have got to saudia arabia by boat — many others by road to the borders with egypt and djibouti. throughout the next crucial hours — we'll try to establish what is happening on the ground — whether the ceasefire can be extended — look at the exodus of people — and talk to some of those left behind. live to larnaca airport in cyprus, lewis vaughanjones is there for us. as lewis vaughanjones is there for us. this countdow now as this countdown continues, we are now five hours away from the end of the cease—fire. give me a sense of what it is like there. the cease-fire. give me a sense of what it is like there.— what it is like there. well, the eo - le what it is like there. well, the peeple who — what it is like there. well, the people who most _ what it is like there. well, the people who most recently - what it is like there. well, the - people who most recently arrived, some of them have been helped at this rescue coordination centre effectively just this rescue coordination centre effectivelyjust behind me through the white barriers. you can see a

coach, that has been moved for moving some people around up to the main bit of the airport, whether they get on the flight back to the uk and safety. we have seen people's luggage and bags just around us there. we saw some red cross vehicles come pastjust a couple of minutes ago. a couple of hours ago, we did see children playing in there who would come off some of those flights. now it seems much quieter. 0urfocus is on flights. now it seems much quieter. our focus is on the flights. now it seems much quieter. 0urfocus is on the road flights. now it seems much quieter. our focus is on the road to the next runway. we are told to expect more flights here. this is the uk's hub, effectively tomatoes is in people directly from cartoon back to the uk. militaryjets and planes picked up uk. militaryjets and planes picked up those people who want to get up who made it to those airfields just north of khartoum. and as you said, the window isjust

north of khartoum. and as you said, the window is just shrinking and shrinking. and that is why the foreign secretary has been urging people in khartoum, with uk passports and their immediate families to make thatjourney to that airstrip just north of khartoum if they can. the people that we have been speaking to have got to the air base in good order. it is distressing, of course, but they are getting there in good order. we encourage people to do so now. we have flights available, we have capacity available, but none of us can know what will happen when the ceasefire comes to an end late tonight. so we talked about some of the numbers there. we don't have exact numbers. they are not giving us a blow—by—blow account here, butjust the flight that landed a couple of hours ago that i was on the tarmac to see, it had about 150 people in, we are due to get an idea in a couple hours' time of the exact numbers, but we are expecting more flights in. now, what happens when

that cease—fire expires? well, a military point of view, but did you yesterday that if conditions still allow, there is no reason that the operation couldn't continue. however, that is a big if, of course. conditions in the cease—fire are tough enough. if there is a deterioration committee would have to expect a reevaluation of the operation. but we will be keeping an eye on the runway here to see how many more people and planes can get out before the cease—fire expires. louis, thanks once again. you're absolutely right, the situation is so fluid. i expect those assessments can only be made once we ticked past the deadline itself in five hours' time. —— ortwo. then the deadline itself in five hours' time. —— or two. then an assessment made of what is actually happening there real time. whilst we were listening to lewis, we have been keeping an eye on the diplomacy. we heard a little bit earlier uk ambassador talking to various parties on the ground around trying to extend that cease—fire.

0ur diplomatic correspondent paul adams has more from nairobi in kenya. we had the offer that was made late last night from the president of south sudan, in combination with some of his regional allies, to host peace talks, talks between the two military leaders, in juba. the sudanese army initially responded that they were willing to attend such talks. we have had no reply at all from the rapid reaction forces of general hemeti. and in the last hour or so, the ministry of foreign affairs in sudan has tweeted, "the army will not enter "into negotiations with the rebel rapid support forces, "which have no choice but to surrender." so the prospects for talks seem a little questionable, perhaps even rather bleak at the moment, but i am quite sure that behind—the—scenes an awful lot of people are trying to make sure that this ceasefire is extended, partly because there

are still international citizens who their governments would dearly like to get out while they can, and also to try and stabilise the situation on the ground, because there are terrible fears that it simply is going to get worse. that was paul adams, only about an hour or so ago. earlier i wasjoined by tagreed abdin — she has chosen to remain in the capital despite the bombings and the fighting she could hearfrom her home. she began by giving me her reasons for that decision. the reason we chose to stay is that we couldn't guarantee the roads were safe, the evacuation routes were safe. even people who made it out, we were hearing horror stories at the border. some people are taking three days to reach the border and then they are stuck that without food and water or shelter. we chose to stay

for several reasons. the sheer logistics, are the road save, how can we get to the border? what happens when we reach the border? my family require entry visas to egypt's. my mum is with us here, and her passport expired. some days we heard they are renewing passports at the border and they will let people in it they have expired, and other days you read the border is overwhelmed, they are taking several days just a process to people actually at the border. i'm reading here, just a message from our producer, he was talking to you, even as you are communicating, there has been more fighting, more shelling around you. give us an idea, because we have the ceasefire in place but there are pockets of continued fighting pretty close to you, is that there? i can hear shelling right now.

the thing about the ceasefire is that i really don't know where it is happening because everywhere people are reporting that is shelling, military planes flying over, there are air strikes. the thing about the ceasefire, it is very selective, apparently, because from where i am sitting, there is no ceasefire. that is alarming, given we aren't even at the end of the official truce. how much do you worry that in less than six hours' time, intense fighting might resume? it is terrifying, because right now i was reading the uk embassy in sudan just put up a notice for uk nationals to evacuate or reach evacuation points because the ceasefire will end

in a few hours. we are going through it right now, it isn't enough? they are going to pump it up? it is terrifying. is part of the terror, there's so much focus abroad on foreign nationals, there is evacuation efforts. once the majority of that is completed, is the fear for people in sudan that perhaps the outside world begins to forget what is happening for all of you on the ground? yes, there has been a complete disregard even in the narrative regarding sudanese lives and people at home. i keep saying, just open an airport and letters leave. i understand that has to be negotiated and somehow the parties fighting need to commit to not attacking, whether civilian flights or military flights. for example, if i have an elderly parent, also my dad is stuck at home are not able to get out.

even anybody with a chronic disease. i am diabetic, i can't take a three day ride into the unknown, so the thing about forgetting the sudanese people, it is just, like, they haven't been placed in the narrative from where i am setting. nobody is saying, what about the sudanese people question what it is, where are you evacuating to? you are on your own. even if i'm expected to figure it out, i don't have the information, so it is, which roads are safe? then the next day you read, the people were dragged from their cars and shot. the next eight you read, maybe it is a little safer. the next day, there was an air strike which totalled five houses. there is uncertainty and a lack of information.

even these people, the warring peoples, having come out and talk to the sudanese people and given us guidelines or updates. so we can decide. it almost sounds from your description that the sudanese people are being held hostage by these two factions. just a final quick for because there have been many moments in recent decades weather has been violence in sudan, but never in the capital. and you believe there is this level of intense fighting we've seen over the last couple of weeks and potentially more to come in a capital so densely populated, 6 million people? can you believe it is happening all around you? i can't believe the total disregard for in life. i do believe we have armed militias

prone to violence, we have trigger—happy security forces. that is no surprise. in no way is khartoum more special than where civilians have been targeted for years. at the same time, i wouldn't think there would be air strikes on a civilian population, on a heavily, densely populated area, and you are having air strikes. 0n apartment buildings, a few doors down from us, it was struck by, i don't know, ground to air missile. that is the only surprise, that they are still doing this, still at it. some really powerful thing said there. here the live shots again that we have been watching and as we

were just listening to, that we have been watching and as we werejust listening to, a couple that we have been watching and as we were just listening to, a couple of lines from the secretary of state in the last two says the cease—fire has reduced the violence which has helped with the aerial evacuations, but in terms of what happens next, he has said the focus is on extending the cease—fire, hopefully we will have more inflation in the coming hours, and we are actively working to extend the cease—fire. less than five hours before it actually expires. antony blinking right at the forefront of actually establishing that first cease—fire. at 72 hour cease—fire, and clearly the work is going on behind the scenes as we heard from the ambassador earlier to try to get an extension of that vital pies. we continue to monitor and watch that situation. around the world and across the uk, you are watching bbc news.

well, it's just gone 3am, and i've managed to get an hour and a half in, which isn't bad for me, but i'm looking as rough as a bag of sponges. ——but i'm looking as rough as a bag of spanners. daniel has struggled to get to sleep for nearly a decade. but the problem isn'tjust about how long it takes him to drift off when he hits the pillow. you know, getting to sleep isn't the issue. but i could be awake again within an hour, and that could be for any reason. it could be a knock at the door. it could be a dog barking, it could be someone walking past. and that's me again for the day then. it's not a case of going back to sleep because that's just not possible. in a 2k hour period, how much sleep roughly are you getting? probably two hours. two hours. sometimes i'm lucky to get three. and i think sleep deprivation is a massive issue, i think it has health implications. i think it has working life implications, relationships especially, you know, and it needs addressing.

you're live with bbc news if you're just if you'rejustjoining us, we if you're justjoining us, we are turning to other news away from sudan for the next few minutes, because as we have heard in the last couple of hours, the us tv presenterjerry springer — best known for his riotous show jerry springer — best known for his riotous show where members of the public were encouraged to air their disagreements, before he offered his advice — has died. he was 79. before turning to tv, he had been the mayor of cincinatti. he was born in london in highgate tube station, where his parents were taking shelterfrom a bombing raid in the second world war. jerry springer�*s representative, bradley singer said mr springer died peacefully on thursday at his home in chicago. in a statementjene galvin, a lifelong friend and spokesman for the family, said: jerry's ability to connect with people

jerry appeared on our hardtalk programme in 2014 — and stephen sackur asked him if he was satisfied with the way his life had gone. if you had your time over again, would you choose to have the political career that you tried to have that in the end didn't go national, would you still take the deal that you actually have in tv? if god comes to me and says, "gerald..." just my full name. "gerald, you can have another life and you can sign on for the exact life you've had or take your chances on another one." god, where do i sign? i am the luckiest person in the world. i have no right to complain about anything.

i have a privileged, lucky life, and i say luck... i didn't choose to be born, i didn't choose to whom i be born, with what health, with what brain, in what country, i was born here in england, by the way. so all of this is a gift. life is a gift. sure, i work hard, but lots of people work hard. i don't know why i got lucky. but would i sign on? hell, yeah. a great clip, isn't it? earlier i spoke about his show to our washington corresspondentjess parker. he had a hugely influential show. at one point, it topped the ratings of opera. i mean, he really was a 0pera. i mean, he really was a culturally very significant figure. i think some people criticised his show as being trash sometimes. i read an interview where he hit back at that saying that that was elitist. but his show in terms of its popularity. he only need to look at how many years it ran for, 27

years to see how popular it was. we have had a statement from his representative in the last hour or so who said jerry's ability to connect with people was at the heart of his success in everything he tried, politics, broadcastand joking with people on the street, he is irreplaceable and his loss hurts and immensely. you referred to his long career, at one point he was the mayor of cincinnati, saw a politician, he was tied to the democratic party, and then his show, as i say, starting off in the early 90s and then going on for many years after that. �* ., ., , after that. before reality tv, he would actually _ after that. before reality tv, he would actually go _ after that. before reality tv, he would actually go places - after that. before reality tv, he would actually go places that i after that. before reality tv, he - would actually go places that oprah winfrey, _ would actually go places that oprah winfrey, montel williams, would actually go places that oprah winfrey, montelwilliams, sally winfrey, montel williams, sally would _ winfrey, montelwilliams, sally would never go. he would actually go to the _ would never go. he would actually go to the heart_ would never go. he would actually go to the heart of certain things, not saying _ to the heart of certain things, not saying that — to the heart of certain things, not saying that the other tv hosts

i know that may be in some situations, i don't think anything that i've heard of every carried past the show compared to some of these other shows. we wouldn't have survivor you know, any of these other shows that have come after the jerry springer show, but we would not have the negativity that has followed, you know, as some of these other shows wouldn't have taken from what he created. ads, other shows wouldn't have taken from what he created.— what he created. a lovely tribute there. in ukraine, fighting continues in the eastern city of bakhmut — which has been one of the longest and bloodiest single conflicts since russia invaded. both sides have suffered high casualties — and russia has slowly been advancing into the city — our defence correspondent jonathan beale sent this report from eastern ukraine. in the east, ukrainian forces are holding the line — just. still mostly relying on old soviet weaponry,

like this 50—year—old gun. but after more than a year of fighting they're now having to use ammunition sparingly, one shot at a time. at the start of the war these ukrainian troops were firing all a0 barrels of their grad rocket launchers in one go. now, they can only afford to fire a few at a time. their commander says ukraine has almost exhausted its own stocks and is now having to rely on rockets sourced from other nations. are you running out of ammunition for grad? translation: we haven't got enough i for our older soviet-era weapons. . if we'd fired more we might have been able to give more support to our guys who are dying, but we don't have enough ammo for our grads. hidden carefully in a tree line is one of ukraine's most prized possessions —

a buk air defence system. it's helping stop russia gain control of the skies. this target for russian? yes, this is a target number one. recently leaked us intelligence documents warn ukraine could soon run out of buk missiles. the commander denies that but he admits it's proving hard to maintain. translation: we haven't got enough for the simple reason they get - broken and we haven't got spare parts. these kinds of russian—made weapons and all the factories that produced their components are not available to us in ukraine. ukrainian forces on the outskirts of bakhmut do have some western weapons.

but most, like tanks, are being kept in reserve for the coming offensive — the place and timing still unclear. these british—made light artillery guns are trained on bakhmut, where ukrainian forces are stilljust clinging on. these defensive operations are consuming huge quantities of manpower, equipment and ammunition. while at the same time ukraine is trying to prepare for a major offensive. if you don't succeed this year, will you lose the war? translation: if we go | on the offensive this year and take back our land, then we will win. if this does not happen we haven't got resources for the war to go on for five or ten years. with finite resources and limits to western support, ukraine knows this could be its make or break year.

jonathan beale, bbc news, eastern ukraine. back with more than just a moment here on bbc news. don't go away. hello there. we've seen a lot of cloud again today, with rain developing more widely. there will be some changes in the next few days. tomorrow, a drier day than today and it's warming up a bitjust in time for the bank holiday weekend, although there will be some sharp showers around as well. earlier on today, it was particularly wet in cornwall, an inch of rain falling in places. since then, that heavier rain has pushed through the midlands towards the south east of england. it's heading up towards east anglia and lincolnshire as well. there'll be a lot of cloud around overnight, but the worst of the rain tending to move away towards the end of the night. it will be a mild start to friday and quite a bit milder than of late actually in scotland.

there'll still be some rain left from overnight first thing, especially across northern england. the worst that moves away out into the north sea. we've got some damp weather heading down with that cloud in scotland. the rest of the uk probably brightening up a bit. some sunshine coming through that could lead to one or two showers, particularly in northern ireland. a few heavy ones here in the afternoon. but temperatures are getting up to 16 degrees here and could make 18 or 19 in the southeast as it brightens up. so, a warmer day, quite widely, compared with today. now, temperatures did get close to a0 degrees in southern parts of spain. we're not tapping into that hot weather. instead, our air is coming more from the azores. it does mean temperatures are going to be higher, but there's still some cold air in place across northern scotland and temperatures will be depressed in scotland and northern england underneath that cloud. england, wales and northern ireland seeing some sunshine, but also a few more showers that could be heavy and thundery. but those temperatures are continuing to rise a bit. could make 20 in the south east of england, but still only around eight in northern scotland. into sunday, and quite a bit of cloud to come, maybe more showers breaking out, again, some of them heavy with the risk of thunder.

wetter weather slides across northern ireland into western scotland. so temperatures probably won't be quite so high, but still better than we've seen over the past few days. by the time we get to bank holiday monday, this area of high pressure is trying to build in from the atlantic. a little belatedly maybe, but there should be fewer showers around on monday. most of those highlighted there across northern scotland, east anglia in the southeast though one or two could develop elsewhere. but there will be some sunshine around. it's turning drier from the west. the winds will be quite light and temperatures reaching a pleasant 16 or 17 celsius.
