this is bbc news, the headlines. with only hours left before the end of the suisun sudan cease—fire hundreds or try to get out of the country. britons trying to get out of the country are being worn to board the planes while he set up a chance. in other news, teachers in england joint strike action after the union rejected another pay offer. # we could have had it all rolling in the deep #. and — adelejoins james corden for the final carpool karaoke.... in his last week as host
5:31 pm
of the the late late show. thousands of people are continuing to make perilous journeys to try to leave sudan before the ceasefire ends at midnight. only a few hours before the cease—fire runs out although the us secretary of state talked about actively trying to increase the cease—fire. around 700 british nationals out so far but we have been hearing about british nationals trying to get elderly relatives out without current visas and they are been told they can'tjoin the fight.
5:32 pm
we. earlier i spoke to aisha — we should say this isn't her real name. she wants to protect her family. she has been speaking to herfamily at the airbase and told us what has been happening over the past 2a hours. understandably very frustrated. my father, sister and grandmother arrived this morning. unfortunately my father was found to have an elevated temperature and clinical signs of an evolving abscess at the sight of the bullet injury and these are early indications of sepsis which can be life—threatening. he required immediate surgical intervention under anaesthesia as well as antibiotics administered through a drip. it is crucial to understand sepsis is a severe medical condition that can result in death and the reason this abscess has developed is due to suboptimal care over the past week. understandably due to reduced access
5:33 pm
to hospitals and so on. we heard alicia kerins say on this programme again in the chamber of the house that elderly people even if they don't have uk paperwork like vissas should be allowed onto these flights just like children. what were the, what was your family told when they arrived at the airport in terms of declining that attempt to get on a flight? my father was informed because my grandmother did not have one, uk visa clearance but two an official passport document, physical document in her hand, you have to understand like most people, we only have photographs of documents and not physical documents because in fact the home behind my grandmother's
5:34 pm
home has been bombed and that is why we literally had to move herfrom one location to another, and that's why my father got injured this time last week. it is a very difficult position, and the current situation is essentially forcing my father to make a very difficult decision between saving his own life or abandoning his mother. this is unfair and inhumane position to put anybody in and we implore the british government to show compassion and help us in this difficult time. we urge them to consider the gravity of the situation and provide us with necessary assistance to ensure the safety and well—being of people like my grandmother who is frail, she will not be the only person. you have to understand most sudanese people have very good links and connections with egypt and have family there and this is what i am asking that if we can grant temporary visa to permit her entry into the uk,
5:35 pm
once she is safe and once my father's condition allows, we can allow her travel to cairo where we can care for her and allow her to receive the attention she needs. as we are talking at the moment, the answer so far to those repeated requests has been no. so, what now? if that remains the case, what now for yourfather and grandmother? we are not the first family to be put in this place, another british doctor had to leave his mother at the evacuation flight. it's a difficult question, i don't have an immediate answer for it, all i am thinking about is the next five minutes and how we can continue to raise awareness of the situation, it is a very difficult situation and we would really urge the uk government and home office to consider granting vulnerable
5:36 pm
people as miss alicia kearns, elderly people are as vulnerable as young people and whilst i7—year—olds can protect themselves, and elderly person cannot so we really urge the uk home office to hear what we have to say. we heard there'd been a movement on that story and perhaps there will be allowed to fly but we will continue to that monitor that situation and will bring you an update on that story. just one family and their efforts to actually try and join these flights and those efforts, as we are here and there are been supported by the chair of the foreign select committee and raised on the floor of the house of commons and we will continue to watch that and we will continue to watch that and what happens that family, just one family but many people still battling to get out of sedan.
5:37 pm
police investigating the death of a teacher in glasgow say they are looking for her partner whose car has been found at a nearby country park. the body of marelle sturrock, who was 29—weeks pregnant, was discovered at a house in the city on tuesday. live now to glasgow, where james shaw — our scotland correspondent — is standing by. tell us more, james. as you say, this started for the police on tuesday morning when they went to a house in glasgow and discovered the body of this lady. 35 years old, a primary school teacher. she was 29 weeks pregnant and the police also told us today that her unborn baby has not survived. on the same day, they discovered a vehicle belonging to her partner david yates, near a country park through the northwest of glasgow, and since then they have
5:38 pm
been searching the park. it's a pretty big area of ground, there is open ground in woodland and also bodies of water, a disused quarry there. the police say they don't know whether david yates is alive or dead, they don't believe anyone as is connected with miss sturrock is death and they don't believe david relates has left the area. the last sighting of him was around 8pm on sunday and this is clearly a priority for police scotland. a big murder investigation for them which they would want to resolve as quickly as possible. and heartfelt tributes coming from the primary school of miss sturrock, the head teacher saying she was a beloved member of the school community. it goes without saying there must be tremendous shock in that community.
5:39 pm
absolutely right, and she was also known as someone interested in musical theatre. she came from the north of scotland to glasgow when she was 17 and studied musical theatre, and that was an interest throughout her life and people who knew her through that are also devastated by the loss of someone much loved, a lively part of that scene in glasgow.— much loved, a lively part of that scene in glasgow. james show up there in glasgow, _ scene in glasgow. james show up there in glasgow, thank - scene in glasgow. james show up there in glasgow, thank you - scene in glasgow. james show up there in glasgow, thank you for i scene in glasgow. james show up i there in glasgow, thank you for the latest on that story. the prime minister has been making his position clear in an interview with the bbc scotland political editor glen campbell, take a listen. i haven't seen his specific comments but in general i don't think we should be rolling back devolution, one thing she read celebrates and is the fact that his scottish parliament is one of the most part for devolved assemblies anywhere in

particular and what the gender recognition reforms would have on the uk- recognition reforms would have on the uk— wide equalities laws and protections. and in that is why he laid a section 35 order. it's worth saying that was envisaged in the initial devolution settlement in the scotland act. initial devolution settlement in the scotland act-— initial devolution settlement in the scotland act. , , , ., scotland act. never been used before thou~h. scotland act. never been used before though- this — scotland act. never been used before though- this is _ scotland act. never been used before though. this is obviously _ scotland act. never been used before though. this is obviously an - though. this is obviously an exceptional _ though. this is obviously an exceptional circumstance i though. this is obviously an - exceptional circumstance because this reform would have a significant impact, we believe, on the integration of equalities act across the uk but it's wrong to say it's cutting across devolution. the snp at the time supported that addition in the act. dishes have been taken in whitehall

because there's no government instrument currently. our ireland correspondent has more. there was a budget and as for northern island and as you say matthew, there is currently no regional government in belfast and it's because it's a power—sharing arrangement between unionists who essentially want northern islands are remitted uk and irish nationalists who want northern ireland to become part of the republican of ireland. the main democratic party, the democratic unities are vetoing the power—sharing coalition because of their concerns about the brexit trading arrangements for northern ireland. so, in terms of the reaction here to the budget, we have had heard words like grim, devastating, bhutto to describe it from politicians to trade unions and
5:43 pm
from politicians to trade unions and from lobby groups. the minister has hit back at accusations that he set out a punishment budget, as some have described it, he said the purpose wasn't to punish anybody but to make sure services could continue in the absence of a devolved government. northern islands government. northern islands government usually spends an original £14 billion per year, they have the same amount this year as it puzzle last year but because of inflation that in real terms, means significant cuts for those in the likes of health care and education. chris, stay there because you were talking about reaction. we just heard from jeffrey donaldson, let's put that script on our screen. we are disappointed with the budget allocation and we welcome the fact that the _ allocation and we welcome the fact that the treasury are not going to deduct _ that the treasury are not going to deduct in — that the treasury are not going to deduct in its entirety the £297 million — deduct in its entirety the £297 million overspend from last year. that was — million overspend from last year. that was offered some relief or

5:50 pm
on the shelf too long. so he was unknown on his first show but what he and his producer, band, did his work out that youtube and social media was going to be a big part of how they made him famous. they used carpool karaoke to do that. the very first carpool karaoke was with mariah carey and james admitted that once they got her signed up, when they went to actually feel meant, she said she wasn't going to sing because she had been out the night before and her voice wasn't ready. he managed to persuade her but once you had mariah carey the stars kept coming. the original idella look as 261 million views and we also had the likes of sir hull mccartney, a classic one, the one person has who hasn't done it is beyonce but they have had stevie wonder and a host of other people like as injohn. you just have to go to youtube to see it all. us here in britain will realise that

industrial action we have been following through the course of the day. because the nurses action, a reminder of the 48 hour strike for nurses of the bank holiday weekend has been cut short by a day after a high courtjudge ruled there was partly unlawful. we walk—out regarding pay by the royal college of nursing is due to end on monday, nursing leaders have called on the government to negotiate. here is the response from the health minister. i am hopeful we can concert resolution and i'm optimistic with the midwives voting to accept the officers and now the videos and have had a good number of their members exit offer. obviously, i don't want to preempt other unions who are still out to ballots but i am hoping to get a resolution for staff. it's a fair offer on the table and i hope the other unions still to vote with accept the deal. the action that the
5:54 pm
secretary of state took on the last day of the nurses strike was asked for by nhs employees because we at recognise that every day of strike has an impact on patients. tests cancelled and operations and appointments cancelled and we don't want to stop the right to strike but it has to be done in a legal way. that is why the secretary of state to the action he did. hopefully, we can then get people around the table, particularly the rcn, to come to a resolution overall. that table, particularly the rcn, to come to a resolution overall.— to a resolution overall. that is a nurses dispute _ to a resolution overall. that is a nurses dispute and _ to a resolution overall. that is a nurses dispute and outcome - to a resolution overall. that is a nurses dispute and outcome we| to a resolution overall. that is a - nurses dispute and outcome we have the teacher strike in england today and let's return to the breaking news of the last few minutes and again it's important breaking news. the britain rmt trade unions seen in the last while that real workers will go on strike on the 13th of may after the rejected the latest trade offer from the train companies. that date, the 13th of may, the same day
5:55 pm
of the final of the eurovision song contest, so that move from the rmt trade union and we await a response from the trade companies themselves. that is the latest coming to us from the real strikes. now, we are about a minute or so from an in the programme so let's return to the news that is dominated through the course of the and earlier in the weakness of the situation in sudan. we are about four hours away from the end of that cease—fire and we are only hearing from the us secretary of state, in his earlier emma that she was actively working on extended the sudan cease—fire and he has talked about how the 72 hour cease—fire has helped with evacuating people. that is the backdrop and that is what they are trying to avoid, and a restart of the violence we have seen in khartoum, the capital. they haven't got long to try and negotiate and
5:56 pm
extension. is here in the next moment or two to take you through the next crucial hours. thanks for watching the programme, and see you next time here on bbc news. 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
5:57 pm
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 40 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
5:58 pm
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.
6:00 pm
at six — thousands of people are trying to flee sudan, before a fragile ceasefire is due to end tonight. large crowds gather at the airfield just outside the capital, khartoum, hoping to get on one of the last raf flights for british nationals. those who have already made it out say it was terrifying. we lose everything there. so, we escape for our life. terrifying. made us lie on the ground, women and children and everything. they shot two people. also on the programme... the government wins a legal bid to cut short a strike by nurses in england over the bank holiday weekend. if you carry on screaming, me and
