saudi arabia, this morning after an overnight trip across the red sea from the increasingly crowded and desperate port sudan, where people are trying to use this escape route as others close. it's so bad, you know, so bad. and a lot of innocent people there dying every day. he's my mum's first cousin and he's the first one of my family that has left khartoum in this. and, you know... what a relief. what a relief to see him and his kids safe and sound. for many, this was the end of a very long journey. port sudan is 500 miles from the capital, khartoum, and the airstrip used by the british government over the last four days to fly people home. those flights are ending now, so some of those aiming to leave sudan are going to the port, including several nhs doctors. the issue with the port sudan evacuation is it's quite unclear. there's a little sort of presence of the uk evacuation. there's minimal communication.

people are unclear whether they will actually be evacuated. many thousands of people are now heading in to port sudan. the foreign office says it's set up a consular office in a hotel there and a team will signpost options for departure. meanwhile, in khartoum, the fighting is continuing. for civilians left behind, life is increasingly difficult. three kilometers — there is not any shop open. all the shops are closed. there is no movement. there is nothing. the temporary ceasefire isn't holding. there's currently little prospect of a longer peace. sancha berg, bbc news. hundreds of people have now been killed and tens of thousands have fled the conflict. 0ne

killed and tens of thousands have fled the conflict. one of the general is leading the rsf in the fight against sudan's annie has told the bbc he will not negotiate until 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 the behalf of the civilians. 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. speaking was now the bbc world service africa editor who is monitoring the developments from our newsroom in london. despite hopes that were sparked by the state higher, it appears now that the violence is once again spiralling —— hopes backed by the ceasefire. yes. hopes backed by the ceasefire. yes, that ceasefire _ hopes backed by the ceasefire. yes, that ceasefire is _ hopes backed by the ceasefire. yes, that ceasefire is null— hopes backed by the ceasefire. 1&1: that ceasefire is null and void now. we've had a warning during the last hour from the sudanese military. two people in the city of khartoum to stay indoors and to stay away from windows because they're going to use heavy artillery including tanks.

we've also had the viable rapid support forces, that paramilitary force saying that the army has also deployed a notorious police unit in the city. there are reports of heavy fighting now near to the presidential palace and the army headquarters and it certainly looks as though the conflict is escalating. there had been a lot of hopein escalating. there had been a lot of hope in the ceasefire but it simply hasn't held like any of the other ones so now there will be an international effort once again to try and secure a ceasefire but the problem we are now looking at if this continues to escalate this conflict, we are now looking at a situation where khartoum, a city that's home to some seven or 8 million other people will be destroyed by the two sides fighting each other and the humanitarian fallout from that is going to be

catastrophic and there are warnings now that the country is on an extremely dangerous path and people tried to flee to the different borders and we had thousands of people heading to south sudan who had left their own country. they're now heading back a similar picture across the border into china is well dangerous journeys continuing to flee when they can. the international _ flee when they can. the | international community flee when they can. the international community or international community or international negotiators are very engaged and there are many interesting sudan, many international interests. yes, there are, and international interests. yes, there are. and there _ international interests. yes, there are, and there is _ international interests. yes, there are, and there is everybody - international interests. yes, there are, and there is everybody trying | are, and there is everybody trying to convince the two generals to agree to peace talks and we heard earlier from the head agree to peace talks and we heard earlierfrom the head of agree to peace talks and we heard earlier from the head of the agree to peace talks and we heard earlierfrom the head of the rsf people don't believe a word he said when we talked about not looting and his troops basically being attacked are not going on the offensive. there are no angels in this war, if

you like. all the sides are known to have an appalling human rights record and that's what makes the situation is so desperate for the civilians and as the international agencies and international staff from different countries pull out the fear is that there won't be witnesses to see exactly what's going on. at least we're getting some messages out at the moment but the former prime of sudan, abdallah hander, was today speaking at an eventin hander, was today speaking at an event in kenya and he said there will be no winner in this war. he just warned the country will be destroyed and there is an urgent need for there to be a unified international effort to ensure there are peace talks and the fighting stops but so far neither side has looked willing to engage in any kind of dialogue —— former prime minister of dialogue —— former prime minister of sudan, abdalla hamdok. they look more concerned with trying to get

the upper hand the war.— more concerned with trying to get the upper hand the war. there has been another _ the upper hand the war. there has been another mass _ the upper hand the war. there has been another mass shooting - the upper hand the war. there has been another mass shooting in - the upper hand the war. there hasj been another mass shooting in the united states. police in texas say five people including an evil child had been killed in a shooting at a house in the small town. 0fficers house in the small town. officers say three of the dead were found lying on top of two surviving children in the bedroom of a house. the suspected shooter is a mexican man and with an assault rifle. he is still on the run. the local sheriff told reporters what was known about the shooting. it all started tonight when, evidently, he stepped out of his house, shot his rifle into the ground, up into the air — he just 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'll 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.

vanesa brasier, 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? well, 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 and that's because they had transported him to the hospital where they later died. i don't have any names of the victims yet. i did speak to the chief, the chief of the sheriff's office for the county and he said that they are out right now on the ground looking for the suspect. there out in a wooded area somewhere off the fostoria road, which is in the cleveland area, so he may not have made it very far. the sheriff there said that they knew who the perpetrator was. how do they have that information and what are they doing now? well, he was the neighbour. called ring door bells and the door bell that they had installed on

their house has a camera that activates to their phones and it records live motion and so that's how they were able to determine that it was him because they saw him on the video and he went into the house and he shot the first person right inside the doorway and then the next person was shot in the living room and then there were other bodies that were dropped in other rooms, but the chief deputy lieutenant said that it was an execution style situation, so it'sjust... it's tragic. and what do we know about the shooter himself? not a lot. he's not a citizen of the united states as far as we know right now. he's here, you know, illegally. but, you know, this area has had an influx of immigration from south america and from mexico, and, infact, our school district now in cleveland where this little

eight—year—old boy went to school, the school now is 86% hispanic, and it used to be, like, 35%, 40% just 15, ten years ago and now here we are with 86% hispanic. it's changing the entire demographics of the county. so how have the community responded to these tragic events, vanesa? well, it hurts. i mean, you know, these are children that go to our schools and these children are loved by their teachers, by their communities and so it hurts whenever something like this happens. we've had a lot of tragedy. we had two teenagers killed... i guess it was two weeks ago, about 15 miles away, and they were also high school students. well, they were middle school students at cleveland isd so we've got our share of tragedy going on right now and they were also hispanic students and hopefully they can bring their killers to justice. vanesa brashier,

from liberty, texas. in the uk, some hospital bosses have won that tomorrow's strike by nurses in england could be a significant risk to safety. members of the royal couege risk to safety. members of the royal college of nursing are walking out from eight o'clock until midnight on monday. the union insists it's engaging with hospitals to ensure safe staffing levels. 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, some nurses, porters and radiographers have accepted an nhs pay offer joining members of the biggest union unison who accepted that deal two weeks ago. simonjones has this report. at the royal preston hospital, they're preparing for a challenging bank holiday weekend. members of the rcn are set to walk out tomorrow and, for the first time, this will include nurses in emergency departments, intensive care units, and those working in cancer care

at affected hospitals. with emergency departments, we can't... no—one plans to have an accident. no—one plans to become unwell and it's really unpredictable. so, whether it's daytime, night—time, people are still going to come in. rcn members rejected a 5% pay offer, plus a one—off payment. some other unions, though, have voted to accept the deal. nhs bosses say the walk—out means staffing levels in parts of the country will be exceptionally low during an already stretched weekend. critical care will be prioritised. some of the things we want to do in the health service we won't be able to do, and we are a health service that is always running on hot. you know, we always run on full capacity, so if you take capacity out even for a day, then it has knock—on effects. here at great 0rmond street hospital for children in london, managers yesterday declared an incident to flag up they had serious concerns about ensuring patient safety during the strike. the rcn said it quickly agreed that

some of its members could turn up for work during the action. the hospital says it's grateful. the rcn insists patients won't be abandoned. those really acute and critical services are included in the strike this time round. we have agreed, in the royal college of nursing, a range of critical safety exemptions within those services. we've been working for two weeks now with nhs england to ensure that those exemptions are put in place. the strike is shorter than planned, after the high court ruled continuing it into tuesday would be unlawful as the mandate had run out. the government says any action is unnecessary as nurses have been offered a "fair and reasonable" deal. simon jones, bbc news. russia says a huge blaze in the crimean port of sevastopol has been

caused by a drone strike. the deal on social media says smoke and flames billowing from an oil tanker. sevastopol was on the communion and ensure annexed by russia in 2014 him to a's black sea naval fleet. meanwhile, ukraine are still reeling from a wave of russian air strikes on friday which killed at least 25 people including children. this was the scene in the central city of after a nine story apartment building was hit.— bachega has the latest. this is the building that was hit latest and you can see the lot of activity happening behind me and more than 30 hours after this attack happened a missile hit the top section of this block of block of flats after four o'clock in the morning so residents were still sleeping here and the section were trapped under the rubble. emergency workers say they

are still a search and rescue operation under way and we have seen... missing loved ones. authorities working here say they still don't know how many people are still don't know how many people are still missing but i think this gives you an idea of the same idea of the scale of the destruction yesterday. 23 people were killed and just a few minutes ago the authority confirmed a fifth child was one of the vixens. this attack happened yesterday and this morning ministry of defence was in the uk and said there was a limited possibility uk is trying to intercept ukrainian reserve units and military supplies have been provided by western countries to ukraine and there is a military on that direction and that perhaps was the target of this attack that has

carried out yesterday here in this town and, obviously, this is happening as the ukrainians are preparing a counteroffensive to try to take back territory that's now under occupation so perhaps this is an indication of how much it is likely to respond to any ukrainian advance. hugo bachega there. we can get some of the day's of the news. the polish government to seize control of the school used to teach the children of russian diplomats. the building is close to the russian embassy in warsaw and has been the subject of legal battles for the past year. subject of legal battles for the ast ear. ., , past year. the polish government insists it belongs _ past year. the polish government insists it belongs to _ past year. the polish government insists it belongs to the _ past year. the polish government insists it belongs to the warsaw i insists it belongs to the warsaw municipality but mosher argues taking it over infringes international rules of diplomacy. a group of afghan women protested in car bulk defying a crackdown on dissent. they are urging for the nationals not to formally recognise the taliban government ahead of a un summit next week. the united nations says it will discuss a durable way

defending their country against russia. but away from the grueling pressures of war, for some, there's much—needed light relief around the corner. we are looking forward to see ukraine perform in eurovision this year. alexander and antonina have been together for nine years. they were theater directors in kyiv, but signed up as soldiers soon after russia invaded. i hope that our commander and our fellow soldiers from our platoon will watch with us. we are going to try to spread eurovision spirit among our platoon. although in the army, they have experienced some name—calling, the soldiers have found that being out is easier than they expected. we were pleasantly surprised. pavlo and vladislav, another couple, joined the army two years ago. you're soldiers risking your lives on the front line, defending your country. why does eurovision matter to you? translation: it's a message to the whole world _ that despite the war, we can

still show our creativity. and it's also a message to russia — no matter how the war is going, we still have a fighting spirit and it doesn't break us and we will never fall to our knees. feeling like home... sophia, who's living with a host family in london, has been coordinating aid for lgbt soldiers. now, she's come to liverpool to help launch a number of events in the city ahead of eurovision. is ukraine going to win again? ukraine has already won, because even during the war, ukraine can send their participants and their, like, singers to participate in eurovision. they include a parade and a space here at liverpool's lush that's staying open throughout the song contest. this exhibition is showcasing video and photography of lgbt people during the war in ukraine,

and it gives us a snapshot of what life's been like. so although ukraine can't host, its people in all their diversity... fanfare> ..are very much at the heart of what's unfolding in liverpool. jack lamport, bbc news. 0nly, imagine you are in the restaurant and in walks the following few people. former us president, rock music icon... it is a restaurant in barcelona in spain. you can see barack 0bama bear kneeling and stephen spielberg and bruce springsteen who, alarmingly, appears to be when a chef's jacket. maybe he got a little bit into the whole scene. i imagine the food was a little bit delayed at the table

because it appears that the entire crew are involved in greeting the guests. this is bbc news. hello. for many parts of the uk, spring warmth arrived just in time for the bank holiday weekend, but that wasn't the case everywhere. there were parts of north—east england and scotland that got stuck with a lot of cloud, some sports of rain and a rather chilly feel. and even where the sun did shine, some big shower clouds developed, and through the rest of the weekend we will continue to see some of those heavy showers, but also some spells of warm sunshine. this is the satellite picture from earlier on. you can see that shield of cloud that sat across parts of north—east england and scotland. and then more cloud gathering out in the atlantic, and as that feeds its way eastwards as we head through the night, it will bring a band of showers across many parts of the uk. ahead of that, there could well be some areas of mist and fog. a little bit chilly

across parts of east anglia, also quite cold in shetland, 10 for lerwick, but elsewhere 14 degrees for belfast. through the day tomorrow will see this band of cloud and rain pushed its way eastwards. more significant rain likely to develop over time across the northern isles. brightening but also scattering of heavy and thundery showers. and here the highest temperatures up to 18—19 but a bit less chilly than it was today in parts of north—east england and scotland. now, as we head on into bank holiday monday we will see a couple of different weather systems, this one bringing some showers early on into eastern parts of england. theree's also a weak cold front up

towards the north of scotland. that'll sink southwards. bringing patchy rain to southern scotland and north—east england and a northerly wind following on behind, so a slightly chillier feel — and temperatures around 8 degrees for stornoway and 11 for aberdeen and further south 18—19 for south wales and southern england. as we head into tuesday, high pressure builds and that will give dry weather for most of us on tuesday and wednesday. we see frontal systems approaching from the south—west, threatening to turn things a bit more unsettled as we head into next weekend which is, of course, another bank holiday weekend. of the coming week, but an increasing chance that we will see some outbreaks of rain, and, also, a brisk wind.

fighting has continued in parts of the sudanese capital with reports of fighterjets targeting positions held by the rebel are sf. there are shortages of food, water and fuel in the capital. police in texas say five people, including an eight—year—old child, have been killed after shooting in a house. the local sheriff's office say the suspected gunman is armed with an assault rifle and still on the loose. russian officials say a blaze at an oil depot in crimea was caused by a drone attack. the facility is located home to russia's black sea
