live from london, this is bbc news. sudan's army is preparing to launch a major attack and khartoum as it attempts to retake areas held by the rebel militia. it widens the search for a government suspected of killing five people in texas. president biden calls for the release of detained journalists around the world during the white house correspondence dinner in washington. and just a week to go until the coronation, the british public will be asked to swear allegiance to king charles.

hello, welcome to the programme. sudan's army has deployed tanks and heavy artillery in preparation for launching a large—scale attack. the deployment, despite a ceasefire, is part of an effort to recapture areas of the capital, khartoum, held by the rival rapid support forces. the army has urged people to remain indoors and stay away from windows. the british government says the operation to evacuate people has been extremely successful. nearly1900 people has been extremely successful. nearly 1900 people have been thrown out of the country on 21 flights on tuesday. the last british flight was due to leave from an airfield north of khartoum overnight. in other developments, the government of south sudan is still saying it is trying to convene peace talks between representatives of the two sides. the former prime minister of sudan has called for a unified international push for dialogue. he also warned the

conflicts will be a nightmare for the world if it continues and could become worse than those in syria and libya. paul adams is monitoring developments from nairobi and his report starts with the british evacuations from sedan. hello, everyone, we have just landed at stansted london airport. for dr abdulrahman babiker, a welcome return to british soil — a return that almost didn't happen. thank you to the government for helping this and facilitating for us getting the guidance for the nhs doctors. by sea and air, others are following. thousands of foreign nationals fleeing anyway they can. port sudan on the red sea fast becoming a major hub. in the capital khartoum, the ceasefire seems precarious with the army warning people to stay indoors while it deploys tanks. this was the day britain's air evacuation drew to a close. the evacuations have been extremely successful but we can't stay there for ever in such dangerous circumstances. we are looking at every single

option to help british citizens who are caught up in this terrible crisis. but what about siddique mohamed? a british citizen who vanished a week ago as he drove through khartoum to retrieve his passport, hoping to be evacuated. at home in manchester, a week of agonising uncertainty for his family. we told him that there would be an evacuation and that the uk government are going to be sending planes and everything is fine, so he started to get everything ready. whilst he was on the journey he did make contact with us and he said he was fine. but then at some point he stopped answering his phone. days later they found out that he was being held by one of the warring factions. who have you reached out to and have they been helpful? the fcdo haven't been much help. the first time we spoke to them, he wasn't missing, he wasjust preparing. couldn't really get a clear answer. the second time we spoke to them we updated them on his status, that he's been missing. no help. i don't feel like it's fair that we should have

to go through people, through normal civilians, asking them for help, asking them for details, asking them to scramble around for numbers, asking them to look outside their window. it's not fair. this is something he was waiting for for such a long time. he was preparing for it. he risked his life for it and now he's not getting on it. in saudi arabia, another ship arrives, relief at the end of a long, difficult journey for sudanese and foreigners alike. this exodus will go on for some time. the country they have left behind is being torn apart. pauladams, bbc news, nairobi. medicine san fran ta, also known as doctors without borders have reported a teaching hospital in west darfur has been affected with parts of the hospital looted. the executive director gave us

more details.— more details. the hospitals that are coming _ more details. the hospitals that are coming under - more details. the hospitals i that are coming under attack, this is something that has been a feature of this conflict since it began, is that whether it is in khartoum are part of darfur, you have these hospitals, even at one of our own warehouses that was full of medical supplies was completely looted and so when you loot the medical supplies, the surgical equipment, the life—saving medical equipment for whatever purposes, whether it is to resell it on the market, to destroy it, it means the hospital is barely functional. evenif hospital is barely functional. even if staff are able to return to the medical wards, if they don't have the supplies necessary to be able to treat people, you can imagine somebody comes in for surgery and you don't have any anaesthesia. we don't have the tools necessary to be able to treat them. usually when these things happen, when the attacks happened, the medical staff

flee. it is absolutely usual and you can expect that the patients also, as much as they are able to move themselves with their families or caregivers, they also flee. so the whole place just becomes ripe for ransacking, more looting and more burning. and so it takes some time before you can even go back and assess what has been taken, what has been destroyed, what needs to been destroyed, what needs to be replaced, repaired. police in texas are searching for a man who shot dead five neighbours on friday night after they asked him to stop firing his gun so their baby could sleep. the victims, all from honduras include an eight—year—old boy. the authority said two women died while trying to protect three surviving children. police have named the suspect, who they say is likely to be armed and dangerous. the search is being conducted using dogs, drones

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. the archbishop of canterbury will ask millions of british subjects around the world to swear allegiance to king charles during his coronation next saturday. the public pledge, which is dubbed a chorus of millions, is one of several striking changes to the engine ceremony. female clergy will play a prominent role for the first time and the king himself will pray out loud. laying her hand upon the bible, she reaffirms her oath. we know there is much _ she reaffirms her oath. we know there is much in _ she reaffirms her oath. we know there is much in the _ she reaffirms her oath. we know there is much in the coronation i there is much in the coronation service that won't change, not just from 1953, but from centuries of coronations before it. , ,., centuries of coronations before it. , this centuries of coronations before it-_ this is - centuries of coronations before it._ this is the | it. so help me god. this is the bible queen _ it. so help me god. this is the bible queen elizabeth - it. so help me god. this is the bible queen elizabeth kissed l

engagement with people of other faiths. he has formed a long association with holocaust survivors and this year, he met with martin stern, a man who survived the nazi concentration camps and came to britain as a 12—year—old. to camps and came to britain as a 12-year-old-— 12-year-old. to be received by the head of— 12-year-old. to be received by the head of state _ 12-year-old. to be received by the head of state of— 12-year-old. to be received by the head of state of this - the head of state of this fantastic country, you know, it is beyond words. we were treated as rubbish, you know, fit to be burnt, ground up and disposed of in landfill. and here i was having tea with the king and the queen.— king and the queen. though there will— king and the queen. though there will be _ king and the queen. though there will be many _ king and the queen. though there will be many who - there will be many who criticise how exclusive the monarchy is, that service here in westminster abbey will still be by far the most inclusive that has ever been. the stone of scone, also known the stone of destiny has arrived at westminster abbey in

london for the coronation. the stone is normally kept at edinburgh castle, an ancient symbol of scotland's monarchy and which kings and queens in britain have been crowned for centuries. nicholas witchell has more. reunited for the coronation, the ancient stone, the stone of destiny, on which scottish kings were crowned, and the ancient throne, the 700—year—old coronation chair, which was constructed for edward i — the english king who seized the stone and brought it to london. choir sings the stone was returned to scotland nearly 30 years ago. it's been brought from edinburgh and entrusted to the abbey temporarily. it is committed to your care and safekeeping until it is returned after his majesty's coronation.

so many things are being made ready. these are some of the robes that will be worn by the king and queen on the day. for westminster abbey, it's all an operation of great complexity. getting all those bits lined up and the wonderful build that is going on way behind me, because the abbey looks very, very different, that is complex. so, is it all going to be ready on time? it will be, it will be. it's going to be magnificent. they sing "god save the king" and at the heart of it all will be an ancient slab of sandstone on which kings are said to have been crowned for a thousand years. nicholas witchell, bbc news, at westminster abbey. we will have live coverage of the coronation on bbc news. as

always, there is much more detail on the bbc news website, including this from a visual journalism team, the dazzling crown that will make a king. it is referring to the historic saint edward's crown that will be placed on the head of king charles iii as part of a coronation ritual that goes back centuries. lots more facts and figures and you can find them on the bbc news website. the authorities in colombia have reissued their warning that people living close to a volcano that may erupt should evacuate. the nevada galleries volcano has been on orange alert since march the 30th, meaning a large eruption is expected in the coming days or weeks. early this month, families were told their children may be forcibly removed from the area should they decide to stay. it is unclear how many people have chosen to leave. in 1985 the volcano caused one of the

world's most deadly eruption is 125,000 people were killed after mudslides engulfed the town. tolls are opening across uzbekistan for a referendum on changes to the constitution, including controversially extending the president's term in office. the president says a yes vote will secure new rights and freedoms that he has introduced, including relaxing media controls and promoting market reforms. but it will also allow the president to run for a further two terms and extend the terms from five up to seven years, allowing him to potentially stay in power until 2040. and many others will be watching the grand finale of the eurovision song contest in just two weeks. it is being staged in liverpool with the uk as the runner—up in last year's competition, hosting on behalf of ukraine, who won. the

contest will be followed particularly keenly by members of the lgbtq plus community inside ukraine, including soldiers who have been fighting on the front against russia. these soldiers have been putting their lives on the line, defending their country against russia. but away from the gruelling pressures of four, for some, there is 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. and finally, can you imagine being in a restaurant and and finally, can you imagine being in a restaurantand in walks a former us president, a world famous hollywood director and a rock music icon? it sounds like the beginning of a joke, but that is what happened at a restaurant in barcelona. barack 0bama, stephen spielberg

and bruce springsteen walked in unannounced for a meal. that resulted in that lovely picture, of course. you can find me on twitter. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. don't go away. hello. on saturday, the temperature reached 20 degrees 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 expecting some showers. and if we have a look at the satellite picture, there's a lot of cloud lurking around the uk. you can see it here, particularly around western areas. but the air is coming in from the south. it's a relatively mild air mass. this is what that yellow colour is indicating. so a milder current of air all the way from the southern climes. here's the forecast then for the early hours, an extensive cloud with showers right from the word go, not necessarily in east anglia and the south—east here. we will have had clear spells overnight.

it's also a little colder in london and norwich, around 4, 5, 6 degrees, but plenty of cloud and showers through the morning into the afternoon. let's have a look at a snapshot at 2pm. so across scotland, you can see where the showers are in the western isles, some in central scotland, a few in the lowlands. thunderstorms 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 notice the extreme south—east, east anglia and lincolnshire, actually some sunshine here, a dry day, the highest temperatures, too. and look how much warmer it's going to be across northern england and parts of scotland. the lower temperatures will actually be out towards the west and the south—west here where we will have extensive cloud, and the showers and that cloud lingers into sunday evening. let's have a look at bank holiday monday now. 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 a pretty decent day. we could have some showers in the south—east on bank holiday monday.

also notice that the wind arrowss, air is coming in from the north across the far north of scotland. so really chilly in lerwick, six degrees, around eight degrees in stornoway, but in glasgow it's 15, in the midlands around 16 degrees celsius. so all in all, not a bad bank holiday monday on the way and then midweek, high pressure is close by and that basically means settled dry weather and that's 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.

now it's click. we are mave! this week, we're at the gig of the future where the bands are not as they seem. i'm at a gig, but i'm not at a gig. 0r where you'd expect. we're in a hobbit hole. it gets weirder. -
