live from london. this is bbc news... fighting continues in sudan with fresh artillery and air strikes. thousands more people try and leave the country. russian officials say a massive blaze at an oil depot in russian—occupied crimea was caused by a drone attack. at least five people, including an eight—year—old child, have been killed after a mass shooting in texas. this neighbourhood, they're always shooting. they're always calling the cops and there's nothing done for that. yeah, just, i mean, especially on holidays — fridays, saturdays — there always shootings. and how the city of liverpool is preparing to welcome the lgbt+ community ahead of the eurovision song contest.

the former prime minister of sudan has warned that the insecurity in his country could become worse than that in syria and libya. abdalla hamdok said there needed to be a unified international effort to persuade the sudanese military leader and the head of a rival paramilitary force to hold peace talks. a ceasefire has been agreed but it is not holding. these images show khartoum — where fighting is continuing in parts of the capital, with reports of fighterjets and drones targeting positions held by the rapid support forces, or rsf. life is increasingly hard for residents who've been unable to leave — such as this student, who spoke to us earlier. three kilometres there is not any shop open, they are all closed. there is no movement, there is nothing.

hundreds of people have now been killed and tens of thousands have fled the conflict. 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. 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 opened these corridors within the areas controlled by our forces. we started the truce from our side. 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 have no problems with these corridors and we are helping the diplomatic missions. the sudanese people acknowledge the areas under our control. 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 from port sudan, across the red sea tojeddah. our africa correspondent andrew harding watched the operation in jeddah. hundreds of evacuees streaming slowly off this very in the saudi arabian port ofjeddah. —— off this

evidently, he stepped out of his house, shot his rifle into the ground, up into the air, hejust shot his rifle, and subsequently to that the gentleman stepped out of his house. said, hey, we're trying to keep an infant to bed and he says it's his property, he will do whatever he pleases on his property. the man went back in the house. next thing they know, he's walking up the driveway with a rifle in hand. we can now to vaneesa bray—shier, who is the editor of bluebonnet news which covers the liberty county and the surrounding area in texas. thank you forjoining us. what more do we know about the victims? weill. do we know about the victims? well, there's not a — do we know about the victims? well, there's not a whole _ do we know about the victims? well, there's not a whole not _ do we know about the victims? well, there's not a whole not yet. - do we know about the victims? well, there's not a whole not yet. as - do we know about the victims? in there's not a whole not yet. as of 630 this morning they still had not even removed their bodies from the house. the only body that had been taken away was the eight—year—old

vanesa brashier, from liberty, texas. thank you very much for joining us, we appreciate your time. thank you. joining us, we appreciate your time. thank ou. ., �* thank you. vanesa brashier, the editor of bluebonnet _ thank you. vanesa brashier, the editor of bluebonnet news. - the sister of ruth perry — the headteacher who took her own life while awaiting for a school inspection report that downgraded her school — says she won't give up until the regulator is reformed. speaking to a union conference of headteachers, julia waters called for england's schools to remove ofsted banners and branding from their premises. here's our education editor, branwen jeffreys. ruth perry took her life while waiting for an ofsted report. the school she ran was downgraded to inadequate. inspectors raised concerns about keeping children safe. today, ruth's sister, julia, gave an emotional speech to headteachers. ruth and i were both pupils at caversham primary school ourself in the 1970s and absolutely loved it.

she described the impact on ruth of the inspection. the injustice of that one—word judgment destroyed ruth's career, her world, and her sense of self. i won't give up until ofsted is radically reformed to place the welfare of teaching staff as well as of children at its heart. and she called on schools to stop using ofsted branding, headteachers to stop working as inspectors. so please stand up for ruth. stand up for yourselves and each other. stand up to ofsted. speak out. take down your banners. hand in your badges. ofsted must be reformed. thank you. applause here from headteachers, but ofsted says it's standing by the inspection and judgement of caversham primary. what happened here has prompted

others to take a stand. this school in cambridge has begun a legal challenge to ofsted. the head teacher has said she, too, was left feeling suicidal. the school claims inspectors didn't follow proper process. ofsted says it completely refutes these allegations. it's incredibly difficult for schools to challenge ofsted'sjudgment. it's incredibly difficult for schools to challenge ofsted'sjudgment. one of the main reasons is they don't get to see the evidence behind it. that goes straight from the inspectors to ofsted and it's never shared. the government has said ofsted inspections are vital for parents. the labour party that it would replace one—word judgments with a scorecard. branwynjeffreys, bbc news. the health service in england has warned that a planned strike by nurses on sunday night will cause significant disruption members of the royal college of nursing are walking out from eight o'clock
