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. let's turn out to the evacuation of britons. our political correspondent joins us from the news room. we have some figures from the foreign office, not entirely clear where the

evacuation effort now stands. that is riuht. evacuation effort now stands. that is right- we _ evacuation effort now stands. that is right. we have _ evacuation effort now stands. t�*isgt is right. we have had some updated figures from the foreign office here in the uk. they had said that now 1888 people have been evacuated from sudan since the evacuation flights began on tuesday on 21 different flights. we know that the last evacuation flight is due to take off this evening. and essentially the primary focus of this evacuation was on british nationals and their dependents getting out of the country, although the eligibility was later expanded, and this was because government sources say there was only really a trickle of british nationals on the most recent flights, so they expanded their eligibility to later include nhs doctors who had work permits and were working in the uk, and their dependents as well. so the bbc has spoken to a docket in particular who had previously criticised the fact that people like himself were not

eligible, who has now landed back in the uk. the uk government are saying they are now focused on supporting british nationals who do remain in the country and what they are describing is an increasingly volatile situation, but also british nationals who are in neighbouring countries in the region as well. the foreign secretary this evening, james cleverly, he has also stressed there is an ongoing diplomatic push to try and extend and secure a permanent ceasefire in the country because there is growing concern about escalating violence on the ground there as well. this about escalating violence on the ground there as well.— about escalating violence on the ground there as well. as you have alluded to, _ ground there as well. as you have alluded to, the _ ground there as well. as you have alluded to, the british _ ground there as well. as you have | alluded to, the british government was heavily criticised at the beginning of the evacuation for simply being very slow for mark and behind the curve when compared to other countries. has behind the curve when compared to other countries.— behind the curve when compared to other countries. has it now redeemed itself? certainly, _ other countries. has it now redeemed itself? certainly, they _ other countries. has it now redeemed itself? certainly, they have _ other countries. has it now redeemed itself? certainly, they have in - other countries. has it now redeemed itself? certainly, they have in this - itself? certainly, they have in this evening i say they feel the evacuation has been a success, as you say, there has been criticism, particularly early stages of the evacuation process from some british nationals who said they had had

enough communication from government officials during the process. there has been a sort of 24—hour crisis centre in the foreign office in the uk trying to reach out to some of those individuals, tell them as well to get in touch with the uk government, to flag their presence in the country. so, certainly this evening, government ministers are saying it has been a success and that they have got, as i say, 1898 people out of the country. what is not clear is how many others may have been flagged to the government but haven't successfully got out of the country yet and what the government may do now in the coming days to try and support some of them. one thing, though, that the foreign office minister andrew mitchell has said this evening, defending the decision to end the evacuation is not only that this evacuation is not only that this evacuation is not only that this evacuation is being ended because of demand decreasing from british nationals on the ground but also because he has stressed that the situation there is increasingly dangerous and that uk forces couldn't stay there forever. thank

ou. 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 byjessica 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 male, they have his consulate card, obviously a manhunt underway, ten people in 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 vanesa brashier, 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's not a whole lot yet. they are... as of 6.30 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 he 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 san jacinto county, and he said that they are out right now, on the ground looking for the suspect. they're out in the 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. here in texas and the united states, we have something 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, like, you know, live motion, and 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 from mexico. 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, ourschool 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 10—15 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. you know, 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, the editor of bluebonnet news from liberty, texas.

russia says a huge blaze has been caused by a drone strike. the governor said 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 it is home to moscow's black sea naval fleet. meanwhile, ukraine is 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 uman after a five—storey ——this was the scene in the central city of uman after a nine—storey apartment building was hit. hugo bachega is in uman 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 reforms through on the judiciary. they include curbing the supreme court and giving the government control over the appointment ofjudges. it is the 17th week of protests against the plans which critics see as a threat to democracy. lawmakers are due to return to parliament on monday. a ferry has run aground in orkney

islands and north of mainland scotland. the vessel is grounded in st margaret's hope. the vessel has 56 adults, three children, and an infant on—board but all remain safe. smoke was detected in the engine room before the vessel grounded in the emergency services in attendance. some hospital bosses have warned that tomorrow's strike by nurses in england could be a significant risk to safety. members of the royal college of nursing are walking out from eight o'clock until midnight on monday. union insists it is engaging with hospitals to ensure safe staffing levels. health workers represented by unite have also rejected the same pay deal and say they will escalate industrial action. the gmb union which represents ambulance workers, some nurses, porters, and radiographers have accepted an nhs payoff offer, joining members of the biggest union 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 ormond 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.

weeks to go until the eurovision final comes to the english city of liverpool. it is being staged in the uk, who finished as the runner—up in last year's competition, hosting on behalf of winners ukraine because of the continuing war with russia. the contest will be followed keenly by members of the community inside ukraine, including soldiers who have been fighting on the front line. jack lamport has been talking to some of them. these soldiers have been putting their lives on the line, 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. this is bbc news, thank you for being with us.

on saturday, the temperature reached 20 celsius in a few locations across the uk but in northern england and parts of scotland it felt chilly. sunday will feel a little warmer in these areas but we are respecting some showers, and if we have a look at the satellite picture, there is a lot of cloud lurking around the uk, you can see at the dickie around western areas. but the air is coming from the south, it is a relatively mild air mass, this is what that yellow colour is indicating, so a milder current of air all the way from southern climes. here is the forecast for the early hours, and extensive cloud of showers from the word go, not necessarily in east anglia and the south—east, here we will have had clear spells overnight and it will be colder in london and

norwich, a56 degrees. plenty of cloud and flowers flash showers into the afternoon. let's have a look at the afternoon. let's have a look at the snapshot. scotland has showers in the western isles, few in the lowlands, thunderstorms are possible in the afternoon across northern ireland, even some downpours, showers around merseyside into lancashire, parts of wales, the south—west of england, and one or two showers brewing elsewhere, but thatis two showers brewing elsewhere, but that is the extreme south—east, east anglia and lincolnshire, actually some sunshine and look how much warmer it is going to be across northern england and parts of scotland. the lower temperatures will actually be out towards the west on the south—west here where we will have extensive cloud. the showers in the cloud linger into sunday evening. let's look at the bank holiday monday. so, through the night into monday, weather fronts across the uk, but we are fairly close to high pressure out towards the south—west here so actually a pretty decent day, we could have

showers in the south—east on bank holiday monday. also, notice the air is coming from the north, because the far north of scotland, really chilly and low at 6 degrees, around a degrees in stornoway, glasgow it is 15, in the midlands, around 16 celsius, so all in all, not a bad bank holiday monday in the way. midway, high pressure is close by that basically means settled, dry weather, that is reflected in the outlook, you can see wednesday and thursday there, sunny skies for cardiff and also for london. that's it for me, have a great sunday.

this is bbc news, in the headlines, she done's army says it is laundering a large—scale attack on the capital in an effort to capture areas held by the rapid support forces group. officials say at least 500 people have been killed during the two weeks of fighting between the two weeks of fighting between the army and paramilitary force. the police in texas say five people, including an eight—year—old child have been killed after a shooting at a house, the local sheriff's office says the suspected gunman is armed and still on the loose. russian officials say a blaze at an oil depot in russian occupied crimea was caused by a drone attack, the facility is located in sevastopol, also home to russia's black sea

fleet.
