live from london, this is bbc news. fighting in sudan rages on — as the militia group leader tells the bbc he won't negotiate until the violence ends. russian authorities say a massive blaze at an oil terminal in russian—occupied crimea was triggered by a drone attack. all four teaching unions in england say they will co—ordinate strikes over pay — if their members vote for industrial action.

hello, i'm lucy grey. it's become increasingly clear the ceasefire in sudan is not holding. there are reports of fighter jets and drones targeting positions held by the powerful paramilitary, rapid support forces, or rsf. there's also shelling in the country's capital, khartoum. hundreds have now been killed, and tens of thousands have fled the conflict which is destabilising the entire region. one of the gernerals leading the rsf in the fight against sudan's army has told the bbc he will not negotiate until the fighting ends. mohamed hamdan dagalo, also known as hemedti, was speaking to zeinab badawi. our diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, is following developments. there had been the suggestion from the south sudanese government of an invitation to the two men leading these rival factions to travel to meet face—to—face. that has not materialised.

clearly there has been an enormous concerted international effort led by the americans, the saudi arabians, the gulf and other regional players to try and make sure that these ceasefires are put in place, but it is hard to resist the feeling that this is largely to allow the evacuation of foreign nationals. whether that diplomatic impetus and pressure will continue once foreign governments feel they have got their citizens out, we will have to wait and see, but if it does not, we are in for a very rough time indeed. it does feel as though left of their own devices the two men are not going to settle the differences. it is only going to be as a result of international pressure that the fighting can be contained, that the differences that separate them can be addressed. i want to put it to you that

the people particularly in khartoum are living in an ordeal, what would it take for you to allow humanitarian corridors? translation: first of all i would like to thank the bbc for the interview regarding the truce. we have been asking for it from the first day of the war, we started a humanitarian corridor straightaway. we have opened these corridors within the areas controlled by our forces. we started the truce from our site. we are working for the sake of the civilians and our fight is on behalf of the civilians. we have no problems with these corridors and helping. we are working hands and feet to help others. we have no problem with these corridors whatsoever.

a convoy of buses carrying 300 american civilians has left the sudanese capital bound for the coastal city of port sudan — 800 kilometres to the east. meanwhile, saudi arabia is coordinating its evacuations out of port sudan from jeddah. our africa correspondent andrew harding is there. hundreds of evacuees streaming slowly off this ferry in the saudi arabian port ofjeddah. their ferry has just arrived from the long, difficult journey that they've taken from sudan, from port sudan, across the red sea, about a 12—hour ferry ride. you can see up on deck, still lots of people waiting their ferry has just arrived from the long, difficult journey that they've taken from sudan, from port sudan, across the red sea, about a 12—hour ferry ride. you can see up on deck, still lots of people waiting for their turn to disembark. we're not quite sure

how many there are. we've been talking to lots of people from all over the world. it's so bad, you know, so bad. and a lot of innocent people that are dying every day. you know, you must be very relieved to find safety. yeah. and we need to stop this war immediately, you know? this is not going to help everybody in sudan. just over there, there are embassy staff, consular staff from all over the world, too, waving their flags and waiting to greet their citizens. people from britain as well were expecting incredibly relieved scenes here. people telling us of the difficulties they've had, the two day drive in many cases from khartoum over to the red sea coast. and there the long wait, the stress of waiting to know if they could get on a boat. this one laid on, as i say, by the saudi arabian authorities who've really taken a big role in this humanitarian mission to bring people

to safety here injeddah. one person who was particularly surprised here today was our colleague mo hashim, who was waiting with us and suddenly spotted a family close relatives of his in the crowd. that was overwhelming, just seeing ahmed al bashir and his two kids walking off andjust seeing him. i mean, he's my mom's first cousin and he's the first one of my family that has left khartoum in this. and you know what? relief what a relief to see him and his kids safe and sound and the kids look okay. it's did they say they were okay? they had a they had they had a tough journey. and, you know, like on the way out of khartoum, because they had to go through the north, the north of the city. but yeah, they've been in port sudan, established. i spoke to him when he arrived in port sudan. so i knew he was in port sudan.

just didn't know he was coming on this boat. talk as to what is going on where you are. talk as to what is going on where ou are. , talk as to what is going on where ouare. , . , , talk as to what is going on where ouare. , ., , you are. very happy moments. people who have finally _ you are. very happy moments. people who have finally made _ you are. very happy moments. people who have finally made it _ you are. very happy moments. people who have finally made it to _ you are. very happy moments. people who have finally made it to safety. - who have finally made it to safety. that was the largest evacuation effort so far and now you find is here on the saudi warship. we are at a naval base. in fact, we havejust left it. we have literallyjust pulled up anchor. you can see they are bringing up the steps now. all of the main officers on this warship are on the bridge. it will be perhaps 12 hours, perhaps 18 hours. the red sea crossing which will take us to port sudan, to sudan's largest port were hundreds, thousands of people are waiting including brits trying to find any vote which will

take them to safety. it is a long passage, an exhausting passage but it is a passage to safety and an exit from this devastating war. and so we are on this worship to basically report on the evacuation effort as it will unfold and will unfold for some time to come in port sudan. . , unfold for some time to come in port sudan. ., , . ., ., russia says a massive blaze in the crimean port of sevastopol has been caused by a drone strike. the city's moscow—appointed governor says a fuel tank had been hit. video on social media shows smoke and flames billowing from an oil terminal. sevastopol is on the crimean peninsula which was annexed by russia in 2014, and home to moscow's black sea naval fleet. meanwhile, ukraine is still reeling from a wave of russian airstrikes on friday which killed at least 25 people including children. this was the scene in the central city of uman —— this was the scene in the central city of uman — after a nine storey apartment building was hit. our correspondent, hugo bachega, is in uman, with the latest from there.

this is the building hit yesterday, as you can see there is lots of activity happening behind me more than 30 hours after this attack happened. a missile hit the top section of this block of flats after4am, residents were still sleeping here. the section collapsed, and some of the residents were trapped under the rubble. the authorities here, the emergency workers, are saying there is still a search and rescue operation under way. we have seen some families here this morning waiting to hear about their missing loved ones. the authorities working here say they still do not know how many people are still missing, but i think this gives you an idea of the scale of the disruption caused by this attack. 23 people have been killed here. just a minutes ago the authorities confirmed

a fifth child was one of the victims. this attack happened yesterday. this morning, the ministry of defence in the uk said there was a realistic possibility russia was attempting to intercept ukrainian reserve units and military supplies provided by western countries to ukraine. there is a military airfield in that direction, so that was perhaps the target of the attack carried out yesterday here in this town. obviously this is happening as the ukrainians are preparing a counter—offensive to try to take back territory that is now under occupation. perhaps this is an indication of how russia is likely to respond to any ukrainian advance. we were just seeing the pictures before we came to you of what was going on in sevastopol, the big plume of smoke going up into the sky, fire in an oilfield. can you tell us about what has been said to

have happened there? dramatic images of this massive blaze at this oil depot in the port city of sevastopol. the russian—appointed governor is saying this was caused by an enemy drone attack, he didn't say who was behind this attack but obviously this is the peninsula that russia invaded and annexed in 2014, the ukrainians have vowed to retake it. a number of explosions and attacks have happened in crimea since russia launched the full—scale invasion of ukraine last year. again, lots of questions though about what happened in crimea. firefighters have been sent to this oil depot there in the city of sevastopol and, again, the russian appointed governor saying this was the result of a drone attack. all four teaching unions in the uk say they will co—ordinate strikes over pay, if their members vote

for industrial action. the move could lead to widespread school closures. the government says more strikes would be "unreasonable", adding that its pay offer to unions is fair. the sister of the head teacher who took her own life says that she won't give up until the regulator is reformed. julia waters is calling for skills to remove ofsted banners and branding from their premises. our education editor reports. ruth perry took her life while waiting for an ofsted report. the school she man was downgraded to inadequate. inspectors raised concerns about keeping children safe. today, with�*s sisterjulia gave an emotional speech to head teachers. ruth sisterjulia gave an emotional speech to head teachers. ruth and i were both pupils —

members of the royal college of nursing are walking out from eight o'clock until midnight on monday. the union has agreed contingency plans for staff to return to work in extreme cases and major incidents. health workers represented by another union, unite, have also rejected the same pay deal and say they'll escalate industrial action. but the gmb union, which represents ambulance workers, nurses, porters and radiographers, have accepted an nhs pay offer, joining members of the biggest union, unison, who accepted that deal two weeks ago. i'm olly foster with the latest from the bbc sport centre. the women's six nations grand slam decider between england and france is under way at twickenham. both sides have a 100% record heading into their final match of this year's championship. they have been playing about 15 minutes.

it's no points on the board. england haven't lost in the six nations since 2018. they are playing in front of a record crowd for a women's rugby union international. around 56,000 there. there's not too much riding on the other two matches today. wales should hang onto third in the table unless they are heavily beaten by italy in parma and scotland get a big win against ireland in edinburgh. there has to be a 70 point swing for the scots to move above the welsh. by the end of the day we will have our two finalists at the world snooker championship. the four time champion mark selby was 7 frames to 6 up overnight against mark allen. he now leads 10 —8. let's ta ke let's take your life to these pictures now. he is 10—9 up and he is at the table as well looking to

take a two frame lead. now, they didn't manage to complete the scheduled number of frames, eight usually in a session, yesterday. both men are adopting a very safety first approach. they will play to the finish this evening but it is going well for the four—time champion, selby at the moment. 10—9 up champion, selby at the moment. 10—9 up at the moment, looking to go 11—9 up up at the moment, looking to go 11—9 up and every chance that he will do that. china's si ja wee is looking to become the youngest finallist at the crucible. the 20—year—old leads the belgian luca brecel14—10 in their semi final but it could have been more had it not been for this missed green. brecel, who knocked out ronnie o'sullivan in the quarters, pinched the finalframe and trails by four frames. it's the first to 17. it's scottish cup, semi final weekend. rangers and celtic play tomorrow. inverness caledonian thistle and falkirk are playing right now at hampden.

it's a repeat of the 2015 final that inverness won and it's going their way at the moment, the championship side are 2—0 up against the league one outfit. dan mackay and billy mackay with the goals there arejust three prmier league games today. the lunchtime kick—off between crystal palace and west ham kicked off 15 minutes late because of issues with the electronic turnstiles. so they have only been going just over half an hour: 3—1. west ham are five points above the relegation zone and a win would see them move above palace. manchester united fans, will feel their club has hit the jack pot, if, what would be a world record take over of 5 billion

pounds, was to go through and help them invest in the team, that is what qatari banker, sheikhjassim, is said to have submitted. they are the two main parties let me know of is looking to take full control of the club. there other investment groups were only willing to take a minority stake. go to the bbc sport website. i will have updates throughout the rest of the afternoon. on the second day of his visit to hungary, pope francis has met refugees at st elizabeth's church in the capital, budapest. the pontiff also visited a home for disadvantaged children. the trip will run until the end of the weekend —

with francis praising hungary for its intake of ukrainian refugees. but the vatican has also criticised budapest�*s attitude to those arriving from outside europe, after they were put in harsh transit camps. he has gone out of his way to praise the hungarian government for some of what it is doing, for helping persecuted christians around the world, for example some of those in the church who he is meeting now in the churches behind me here would be christians who have come here from pakistan, iran, for example, and have found refuge in hungary. also he has been pretty critical of the hungarian governments position in the past, showing a cold front, even building fences to keep our asylum seekers, very few apart from those coming from ukraine ever get into hungary. the pope making clear, really, the act of christian charity would be to be open to strangers

and refugees in general. what has been the reaction so far to what he has been saying? i think he has had similar messages to so many people here, that has given an opportunity for example to the government media here to pick and choose from the messages that they like, his pro—family messages, more conservative social teaching of the catholic church, they have been fond of that. they have also been picking up on his comments about peace, the urgent need for peace in ukraine. which is also the government of my position. other commentators, other parts of the public, and certainly there is more concerned with human rights, would point out the strong difference between the pope ever my position on peace in ukraine and that of the hungarian government.

more of an emphasis on human rights perspective, from an international perspective a just peace in ukraine, russia was drawing to its previous international borders. what can we expect from his visit? after this meeting now, with notjust refugees and asylum seekers but young people later this afternoon, talking very much to them about the crisis of faith in the modern world. tomorrow morning, sunday, a large mass in the main square, possibly hundreds of thousands of people there in front of the hungarian parliament. also meetings with scientists, representatives of cultural life, before he leaves on sunday evening. the countdown is on with just two weeks to go until the eurovision final comes to the english city of liverpool. it's notjust europe's biggest night in music, it's also one of the biggest events for the lgbt community. here's lauren moss. live now to stanislav tweeman — a dj who's in brussels and performing at xpresia festival during eurovision.

showers. furthersouth, northern ireland, north—west england, wales, the south of england, here is where we have the warmest weather. 14—19, may be 20 degrees. a mix of sunny spells but scattered, heavy thunder renowned for us but then, as we head to this evening and overnight, this band of rain and more widespread showery weather will push its way in from the west. a few mist and fog patches. temperatures down to three or four, just at the end but further west, 94 plymouth, ten for belfast so i'll start to the day. tomorrow, this band of cloud and showers will drift eastwards. rain developing across orkney and shetland. behind that, for northern ireland, the sun will come out but we will see some heavy and probably thundery showers breaking out. east anglia and the south—east corner are likely to stay dry for a good part of the day with some sunshine. temperatures climbing to around 19. now come into monday,

we see this weather system moving eastwards. that brings the chance for weather showers on monday. more generally through the day i think we will see showers across eastern parts. forthe will see showers across eastern parts. for the west a little bit drier. large amounts of cloud at times but some sunshine, too. turning the north—east of the uk. higher temperatures for the sale 17 for cardiff. 19 for london. now, high pressure is set to build for a time into the new week. tuesday looking like a mainly fine day but we will see low pressure then starting to develop through the south—west of us so as we head towards the end of the week there is the increasing chance of some rain and it may turn just a little bit cooler as well.
