live from london, this is bbc news. in sudan, both sides in the conflict agreed to extend the ceasefire for another three days despite reports of heavy fighting and people being evacuated. it is of heavy fighting and people being evacuated. , ., , of heavy fighting and people being evacuated. , . , , . ., evacuated. it is really difficult to sleep thinking — evacuated. it is really difficult to sleep thinking about _ evacuated. it is really difficult to sleep thinking about the - evacuated. it is really difficult to l sleep thinking about the situation currently so i am not sure if i will have the mental power or not, to be honest. shortages of food, water, medicine and fuel have become critical and according to health officials, 60% of the health facilities are not operating. the bbc chairman _ facilities are not operating. the bbc chairman richard sharp has announced he will stand down after

breaking transparency rules over his dealings with former russia launches a new wave of air strikes against cities across ukraine leaving at least 19 people killed. and pope francis is in hungary for one of the most politically sensitive trips of his papacy. in the past he has criticised the country for its immigration policies. hello and welcome to the programme, i am maryam moshiri. in sudan, the crisis continues as the army and of the rival paramilitary groups are accusing each other of breaking the extended ceasefire. it comes as thousands of people, sudanese and of many other nationalities including britons, continue to attempt to flee the country. there has been fighting

in the capital khartoum as well as in the capital khartoum as well as in the capital khartoum as well as in the darfur region. the world health organization has warned war is having a catastrophic impact with medical staff and patients unable to reach facilities. and as people continue to flee, some have found the journey more difficult than others. later in the programme we have the story of an nhs dr from manchester who is stuck in sudan and unable to get back to his hospital for shifts next week. we can get the latest now from a diplomatic correspondent paul adams. countries like britain and the united states who are urging their citizens to leave, it presents an extension of that window of opportunity for those evacuations to continue, from the astra north of khartoum, and also from the port sudan, on the red sea coast. so, clearly, there is a hope that this

will be facilitate those continued evacuations, both the united states and britain have urged their citizens to leave as quickly as possible, to use this opportunity, but even that is a precarious affair, there was a reportjust this morning of a turkish c—130 transport plane that was shot at and suffered some damage as it was taking off from that base north of khartoum, so, just an indication despite the relative security surrounding that base, this is not a risk—free operation. but for the people of sudan, who are mostly trapped by this recent cycle of violence, this is a kind of moment to wait and hope that the last ceasefire, that this will be an improvement on the last ceasefire because frankly in the last few days it often did not seem

like there was much of a ceasefire at all and a lot of sudanese citizens are also trying to leave the country by any means they can. that was paul adams, in nairobi. we can now have a look at some pictures which came into us earlier here at the bbc and these are pictures from the bbc and these are pictures from the ethiopian— sudan border and it shows you the scale of the issue, so many people from all different nationalities, including foreign nationals, are trying to escape the country, borders with chad, with ethiopia, are very, very busy right now. and what we have seen over the last 2a hours is the two different factions agreeing an extension to the ceasefire in sudan, but that means, it has not meant a complete break infighting, there have been sporadic bits of shooting between the warring sides. now, there has

been intense diplomatic effort from all sides including the uk, the us and the un, but as you can see, that is the capital khartoum, and there is the capital khartoum, and there is smoke billowing out in the distance, and people are reporting continuing fighting in the capital. but the truce has meant that many people have been able to escape, particularly foreign nationals, and we have seen over the last few days many britons being flown out of the country and into larnaca. we can show you some pictures now of the egyptian— sudanese border, and this is the egyptian port, excuse me, and this is again evidence of the scale of the exodus from sudan. we do have south sudan, who has offered to host some peace talks, but we are waiting now for the army to send

representatives to those talks so that they can continue. and these are again more pictures we are getting off the capital khartoum. of course this story is causing issues both in the immediate area, but also globally, as the un, the us and the uk and many other nations try to sort out some sort of peace deal. we will bring you more on this story is always here on bbc news, and when we get it, we are expecting to speak to someone i think from the unhcr at someone i think from the unhcr at some point in the programme to talk about the scale of the humanitarian crisis within the country. but for now, let's move on, i want to bring you back to the uk, this is a big story happening here, right here at the bbc, because the chairman of the bbc, richard sharp, has announced he is resigning after admitting he breached the british government to's code for public appointments. a report found that mr shapps failed to properly disclose his involvement

in facilitating a loan of £800,000 for the uk's former prime minister borisjohnson. this morning, mr sharp released this statement. the view of mr heppinstall is that a breach does not necessarily invalidate an appointment. indeed, i have always — invalidate an appointment. indeed, i have always maintained _ invalidate an appointment. indeed, i have always maintained the - invalidate an appointment. indeed, i have always maintained the breach l have always maintained the breach was inadvertent and not material, which the facts lays out substantially. the secretary of state has consulted with the bbc board, who support that view. nevertheless, i have decided that it is right to prioritise the interests of the bbc. ifeel this matter may well be a distraction from the good work of the corporation were right to remain in post until the end of my time. i have there for this morning resigned as the bbc chair to the secretary of state and to the

board. �* , ., , , the secretary of state and to the board. �*, ., , , ., board. let's remind ourselves of the events, richard _ board. let's remind ourselves of the events, richard sharp _ board. let's remind ourselves of the events, richard sharp was _ board. let's remind ourselves of the| events, richard sharp was appointed chairman of the bbc in february 2021, at the start of this year, the sunday times reported he was accused by a group of mps of failing to declare his involvement in securing an £800,000 loan from borisjohnson just weeks before then try minister recommended mr sharp for the bbc job. there was added pressure for the bbc chairman than to resign amid the bbc chairman than to resign amid the gary lineker impartiality row last month, richard sharp denies any wrongdoing. we can go live to our uk political correspondent rob watson. first of all, let's talk about the damage that has been done by this, in a moment we will talk about the government, but whichever way you look at it, what damage has been done to the bbc? it is look at it, what damage has been done to the bbc?— look at it, what damage has been done to the bbc? it is not great for the bbc, done to the bbc? it is not great for the bbq and _ done to the bbc? it is not great for the bbc, and the _ done to the bbc? it is not great for the bbc, and the way _ done to the bbc? it is not great for the bbc, and the way one - done to the bbc? it is not great for| the bbc, and the way one colleague put it_ the bbc, and the way one colleague put it is, _ the bbc, and the way one colleague put it is, the problem is, said the colleague, — put it is, the problem is, said the colleague, there is a lot of people

seek safety. refugees and also the people who seek safety-— seek safety. should this conflict continue, how— seek safety. should this conflict continue, how many _ seek safety. should this conflict continue, how many people, . continue, how many people, worst—case scenario, are we expecting to try to leave the country, and what kind of a pressure is that going to put on neighbouring countries, many of whom are already dealing with their own crises? it is difficult to say, _ dealing with their own crises? it 3 difficult to say, hopefully this recent fighting welcome to an end soon, and the movements will halt. i mean, we have already seen movements to chad and we are seeing movements to chad and we are seeing movements to egypt but it is very, very hard to egypt but it is very, very hard to say how many people will actually leave sudan at this point in time. what do you think about the people who are displaced within the country, because we are talking a lot about people who are escaping out of sudan, including many foreign nationals, but there is a lot of movement within the country and that is creating unique problems of its own, isn't it?

thank you for talking to us. at least 19 people have been killed by a new wave of russian missile strikes on ukraine. a child was among the dead after a block of flats was hit in the city of uman. this is the scene in one of those cities in central ukraine after a building was apparently hit by a missile. rescue operations are under way to search for survivors. the capital, kyiv, was also targeted for the first time in more than 50 days. the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, described the attacks as evil which could be stopped by weapons. kyiv�*s defence minister says preparations are concluding for a long—awaited spring offensive. just talk me through what it has been like over the last 2a hours. well, the latest air raid happened at about four o'clock in the

morning. i actually slept through it and i was woken by what sounded like and i was woken by what sounded like a cruise missile going over my house, and then some explosions. kyiv has been under attack by iranian supplied drones since ninth march, which was the last big missile attack, but this is the biggest missile attack for a while. that said, 23 missiles in all, 21 shot down, it was not as bad as some of these attacks have been during the autumn and winter period.
