live from london, this is bbc news. fighting continues in sudan with fresh artillery and air strikes. thousands more people try to leave the country. 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. russian officials say a massive blaze at an oil depot in occupied crimea was caused by a drone attack. england has watched women rugby players wrap up a six nations grand slam with victory over france in front of a world record crowd at twickenham.

welcome. there has been more fighting in the sudanese capital khartoum with reports of fighter jets and drones targeting positions held by rival paramilitary forces, even though a ceasefire is meant to be in place. these images show khartoum where fighting is continuing in parts of the capital with repulsive targeting positions held by the rapid support forces or rsf. there have been chaotic scenes in port sudan in the east as people try to escape, and about 2000 people have arrived in the saudi coastal city ofjeddah. sanchia berg has the latest. safe from the fighting — nearly 2,000 people packed on board a ferry arriving injeddah, 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. sanchia berg, bbc news. one of the generals leading the rapid support forces in the fight against the sudanese army has told the bbc that 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. the uk foreign office minister andrew mitchell says the air operation to evacuate more than 1,000 british citizens and residents from sudan has been extremely successful. the deadline has now passed for those wanting to leave to reach the airport that was being used north of the capital khartoum. he has been speaking to our reporter in nairobi. every british citizen in khartoum has known now for many days at the british were evacuating their passport holders. it is not just the fact that the foreign office was communicating with them through whatsapp and e—mail, but it is the fact that word—of—mouth has meant that virtually everyone has known for some days. we have managed this operation, i think, in very, very difficult

circumstances in a way that has meant there haven't been massive queues at the airport, and we have been able to evacuate people to larnaca in cyprus and back to london. do you know how many british nationals have been vacated so far? i haven't got the latest numbers but it is more than 1,000 now. and as i say there is still a steady stream, but we have every hope that the evacuation will be completed. general hemedti has told the bbc that he will not negotiate until fighting stops. do you think there is sufficient goodwill from both parties to end the crisis in sudan? well, the omens are not good. there was already a crisis, a humanitarian crisis in sudan before these dreadful circumstances emerged. so, that is why the african union and the international community are doing everything they can to create a ceasefire, a ceasefire that lasts to provide a space so that a civilian administration can have the opportunity to develop

and the military returned to their normal place in any country, which is not running the government. the conflict has forced thousands of people to flee their homes into neighbouring countries, what is your plan to address the humanitarian needs of those affected? as we know, 60 million people required humanitarian support before this crisis emerged. ——as we know, 16 million people required humanitarian support before this crisis emerged. and now the humanitarian infrastructure has had to leave the country because it wasn't safe for them to stay, five humanitarian workers have been murdered. and so you have the situation with a humanitarian infrastructure is no longer there but the need is rising enormously, as a result of the fighting. and that underlies the absolutely essential position that a ceasefire that endures must be created. if it isn't, it will not be safe for humanitarian workers to return, and many people in sudan will face very greatjeopardy as a result. how do you envisage the role

of the international community in resolving the current crisis going forward? i think the role is for everyone to do everything they can to persuade these two generals to lay down their arms to get there troops to return to barracks. the african union were very much behind that approach. and behind that approach. britain's role as the pen holt and britain's role as the pen holder in the jargon, meaning the lead country on sudan at the united nations in new york, will be to everything we can to galvanise international opinion to support that ceasefire. there has been another mass shooting in the united states. five people, including an eight—year—old child, have been killed in a shooting at a house in a small town. officers say three of the dead were found lying on top of two surviving children in a bedroom of the house. the suspected shooter is a mexican man armed 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. a short while ago i was joined by jessica parker and i asked her to bring us up—to—date on the shooting. this unfolded in cleveland, 45 miles outside of houston in texas, and police patrol teams were alerted to an incident of what has been described as harassment, and they attended the scene

and found a very distressing scene, as you say, five people have died, including an eight—year—old child, and as you were mentioning there, as they went into the house, they found in one bedroom two women over two children and the local sheriff has indicated, suggested that they believe these women were potentially trying to protect their children. they say the police, that they know who the suspect is, a mexican mail, they have his consonant card, obviously a manhunt under weight, ——they say the police, that they know who the suspect is, a mexican male, they have his consulate card, obviously a manhunt under weight, ten people under total we are told have been at the house, all of them from honduras, that is what the local authorities are saying. and the victims, those that had survived, police say they had approached their neighbour who had been shooting in his yard as he regularly did and asked him to stop because they were trying to get their baby to sleep,

and following that, that is when this tragic shooting unfolded, bringing the number of mass shootings in the united states to over 170 so far this year alone. earlier my colleague spoke to vanessa bray show, the editor of bluebonnet news, which covers liberty county and the surrounding area in texas. she asked her what she knows about the victims. there is not a whole _ she knows about the victims. there is not a whole yet, _ she knows about the victims. there is not a whole yet, as _ she knows about the victims. there is not a whole yet, as of— she knows about the victims. there is not a whole yet, as of 630 - she knows about the victims. there is not a whole yet, as of 630 this i is not a whole yet, as of 630 this morning, they still had not renewed their bodies from the house. the only body that had been taken away was the eight—year—olds, that is because they had transported him to the hospital where he later died. i don't have any names of the victims yet. i did speak to the chief, the chief of the sheriffs office and he said that they are out right now on

the ground looking for the suspect. they are out in a wooded area somewhere of of fostoria road in the cleveland area. so he may not have made it very far. the cleveland area. so he may not have made it very far.— made it very far. the sheriff there said they knew — made it very far. the sheriff there said they knew who _ made it very far. the sheriff there said they knew who the _ made it very far. the sheriff there l said they knew who the perpetrator was. how do they have that information? and what are they doing now? he information? and what are they doing now? . , information? and what are they doing now? ., , , ., now? he was the neighbour. here in texas, in now? he was the neighbour. here in texas. in the — now? he was the neighbour. here in texas, in the united _ now? he was the neighbour. here in texas, in the united states, - now? he was the neighbour. here in texas, in the united states, we - now? he was the neighbour. here in| texas, in the united states, we have something called ring door bells, and the door bell they had installed on their house that activates to their phones and records live motion, and that is how they were able to determine that it was him, because they saw him in the video. and he went into the house and each of 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 said that it was an

execution style situation, so it is just tragic. execution style situation, so it is just tragic— execution style situation, so it is just tragic. and what do we know about the shooter _ just tragic. and what do we know about the shooter himself? - just tragic. and what do we know about the shooter himself? not i just tragic. and what do we know| about the shooter himself? not a lot. he is from _ about the shooter himself? not a lot. he is from mexico. _ about the shooter himself? not a lot. he is from mexico. he - about the shooter himself? not a lot. he is from mexico. he is - about the shooter himself? not a lot. he is from mexico. he is not| about the shooter himself? not a l lot. he is from mexico. he is not a citizen of the united states, as far as we know right now. he is here, you know, illegally. but this area has had an influx of immigration from south america and from mexico, and in fact our school district now in cleveland, where this little eight boy went to school, the school now is 86% hispanic. and it used to be, like, 35, a0%, just 1510 years ago, and now here we are with 86% hispanic. it is changing the entire demographics of the county. hose

oil terminal. sevastopol is on the crimean peninsula which is axed by russia in 2014. meanwhile, ukraine still reeling from a wave of russian air strikes on friday which killed at least 25 people including children. this was the sea in the central secretary of uman after an eye story apartment building was hit. hugo bachega is in demand with the latest. this is the building that was hit yesterday, and, as you can see, there's a lot of activity happening behind me, more than 30 hours after this attack happened. and a missile hit the top section of this block of flats after four o'clock in the morning, so residents were still sleeping here. this section collapsed and some of the residents were trapped under the rubble. and authorities here, the emergency workers are saying that there's still a search and rescue operation under way. we've seen some families here this morning waiting to hear about their missing loved ones. now, the authorities working here say that they still don't know

how many people are still missing but i think this, you know, gives you an idea of the scale of the destruction caused by this missile attack yesterday. now, 23 people has been killed here and just minutes ago the authorities confirmed that fifth child was one of the victims. now, this attack happened yesterday and this morning, the ministry of defence in the uk said that there was a realistic possibility that russia was attempting to intercept ukrainian reserve units and military supplies that have been provided by western countries to ukraine, and there is a military airfield on that direction here, so that, perhaps, was the target of this attack that was 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 russia is likely to respond to any ukrainian advance. hugo bachega there. tens of thousands of israelis have been taking to the streets of tel aviv to protest against plans by prime minister benjamin netanyahu's government to push forms through on thejudiciary, they include curbing thejudiciary, they include curbing the supreme court and given a government control over the appointment ofjudges. it is a 17th week of protest against the plans which critics see as a threat to democracy. lawmakers are due to return to parliament on monday. we have some news coming from the forest office which i'm led to bring to you. it says that 1888 people have been lifted to safety by the uk evacuation. this of course from sudan. it is the final uk evacuation

joining members of unison who accepted that deal two weeks ago. simonjones has its 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. to the us next where a 13—year—old boy is being hailed as a hero. this is a bus with 66 michigan students, is a bus with 66 michigan students, is to go bust, and as you can see, the driver starts to look a bit weak and passes out there. 13 year dillon reeves was watching this for about five rows back and saw what happened. he kept his cool and grabbed the wheel, put his foot on the break. i said, "what the heck did he do?" the police said, "no, no, no, this is a good call. "your son's a hero." to do something like this fills my heart and makes my heart skip a beat to even watch the video. i asked him, "how did you know what to do?" "how did you know how to drive that bus?" and he said, "i watch

you do it every day." his rather astonished parents are there at the feet of him managing to stop the school bus. this is bbc news, please do stay with us. 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 spots 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, maybe down to 3 or 4 degrees. also quite cold in shetland, 2 for lerwick, but out west 10 for belfast, so a mild start to sunday. so, through the day tomorrow we will see this band of cloud and showery rain pushing its way eastwards. some more persistent rain is likely to develop for a time across the northern isles. and then through the afternoon the skies will brighten in northern ireland. we'll see some spells of sunshine but also a scattering of heavy and probably thundery showers. staying mostly dry across east anglia and the south—east, and here the highest temperatures up to 18 or 19 degrees, 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. there's also a weak cold front up towards the north of scotland. that'll sink southwards, bringing a bit of patchy rain to south—east scotland and north—east england and a northerly wind following on behind, so a slightly chillier feel — temperatures for stornoway,

for example, around 8 degrees, 11 for aberdeen, further south 17—19 for south wales and southern england. now, as we head into tuesday, high pressure builds, so that will give dry weather for most of us for tuesday and wednesday, but then 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. so, actually, a fair amount of dry weather through the first part of the coming week, but the increasing chance that we will see some outbreaks of rain, and, also, a brisk wind.

and now, panorama, wing darren manuel king charles change the monarchy king charles iii is preparing for the most significant day monarchy ficant day of his life — his coronation. my life will, of course, change, as i take up my new responsibilities. god save the king! he's facing big challenges. there are questions about the monarchy�*s wealth and privilege. there is so much wealth that they hold which is untouched and untaxed and is unaccounted for. the cost of the monarchy is tiny compared to what it produces for this country. storm clouds are gathering in some commonwealth

countries over slavery. justice will require a formal apology.
