and that will be thick enough to bring a few patches of rain in the west. temperature about 14—15, coolest air in the east. live from london, this is bbc news. heavy fighting in khartoum — as the sudanese army tries to recapture areas held by the rival, rsf militia. warnings of disruption to emergency care as nurses in england prepare to strike later on sunday. with a just a week to go until the coronation, british subjects will be encouraged to swear allegiance to king charles. the ceasefire in sudan, between two rival factions of the military, has been extended by another three days, to allow for more people to leave the country, and humanitarian aid to come in.

but there are reports of increased fighting in the capital khartoum. more than 2,000 british nationals have been flown out so far, and in the last couple of hours, the uk government has announced there will be an extra flight, for more evacuations, leaving from port sudan tomorrow. we'll have the latest on that later, but first, our africa correspondent, andrew harding, has been speaking to some of those trying to get out. we are crossing the red sea, heading towards the coast of sudan. a night—time rescue mission organised by saudi arabia's navy. it's not quite dunkirk, but many warships and ferries are now involved in this giant evacuation. tight security as the lights of port sudan gleam on the horizon. we head to shore on a smaller tug boat, at the edge of a country consumed by conflict. we are just coming in now to port sudan. it's a huge place and a big city.

it is the focal point now of the evacuation effort for the whole country. we are told the area around it has been secured for now. 0n sudanese soil and long after midnight, a small crowd has been selected from the thousands still waiting here. nepalese, bangladeshis, pakistanis. how are you feeling tonight? a bit relieved. finally on the way home. yeah... it's been a long journey? yeah, from khartoum and then i was staying here, so yeah, it's been a long way. and a lot of people still waiting? yes. most of these men have lived in sudan for years. for muhammad ali, a university engineer, this is, this was, home. my everything is here — my home, my car. my children, they are all here, they have studied here, so... you had to leave it all behind? yes, i have lots of memories with sudan.

i've worked here 13 years. you look exhausted. this is why thousands of foreigners and sudanese have been heading here to port sudan for this moment when they leave sudanese soil to head onto boats and ships, this flotilla of vessels to take them across the red sea to safety. it's a moment of relief for these people, but also, for the sudanese, a very bittersweet moment, because they wonder if they will ever come back. a tug boat ride out of port sudan. muhammad soon chokes up. others seem lost in their thoughts. out to sea, the waves are much bigger now, which means one last nerve—racking ordeal. clambering onto a saudi arabian warship one by one. on their way out of khartoum almost a week ago now,

muhammad and his colleagues were robbed at knife—point, losing the few possessions they tried to salvage from the conflict. my mobile, some money and my laptop was with me. so you are here just with your clothes? yes, just the clothes. now, within moments of finding safety, they are all fast asleep. andrew harding, bbc news, port sudan. and andrew has now arrived injeddah in saudi arabia. and gave us this update. it is increasingly becoming the hub for people looking to escape the conflict that as the fighting intensifies in khartoum, people are fleeing either north to egypt, but increasingly fleeing quite a long journey, people talking 16—30 hours to get to the coast, to get to port sudan and then hoping to get on these... well, there's a range, a flotilla, if you like, of warships, saudi arabian warships and other nationality�*s ships, a lot of ferries as well,

just ordinary passenger ferries which have been coming over here to jeddah. the saudis are making a big show of their humanitarian effort here, they're very keen to show that they are very invested in the humanitarian operation in sudan and for those leaving, they are given a 30—day visa on arrival here in saudi arabia. but most counties, when we came back just this morning from a long trip across the sea, across the red sea to port sudan, when we came back with about 50 people, a range of nationalities. fundamentally, the battle we are seeing going on right now is arab against arab and different clans, different regions. the danger is that elsewhere across sudan, the legacy of a long war against the south, the civil war there, means that there are all sorts of simmering ethnic disputes and the concern is that as communities try to protect themselves, we're already seeing signs in darfur that old conflicts, simmering conflicts are being reignited as communities turn

on each other and militias turn against other communities. live now to our correspondent sanchia berg who is at the foreign office in london. welcome. we understand that the uk foreign office have now said they will extend their evacuation flights out of sudan until tomorrow. give us more details. out of sudan untiltomorrow. give us more details-— out of sudan untiltomorrow. give us more details— more details. what the foreign office is saying, _ more details. what the foreign office is saying, they _ more details. what the foreign office is saying, they will- more details. what the foreign office is saying, they will be i more details. what the foreign office is saying, they will be an exceptional flight out of port sudan rather than the airstrip right outside khartoum is where the other 23 evacuation flights have gone from. this flight will be going from port sudan international airport and anyone who is trying to get onto that flight has to be the judge evacuation handling centre by midday cedar needs time tomorrow. a quick reminder of who is eligible to get on that flight, british nationals, their dependents but also nhs

clinicians who are not british nationals, who are currently working in the nhs. that is the doctors, whom we have heard a lot about over the last few days. i did speak to the last few days. i did speak to the foreign office this evening and i asked them how many people they thought might be trying to get on the flight and they said as far as they knew, there were only a small number, of british nationals remaining in sudan. in that case, does that suggest there aren't that many more brits who are trying to get out? i wanted to asked what advice there whether other foreign to asked what advice there whether otherforeign nationals, notjust other foreign nationals, not just british otherforeign nationals, notjust british people, trying to get out of the country. that was all they were able to tell me this evening and, as i've said, those eligible to go on the flight are british nationals and their dependents and non—british nationals currently working as nhs clinicians. there has been no suggestion of an extension to that.— pope francis has finished his three day visit to hungary.

these are the latest pictures as he departed from the airport. the pope was presented with a white rose and was cheered by the crowd until his plane took off. earlier — an estimated 100,000 people attended an open air mass in a central budapest square, on pope francis�* third and final day in hungary. the pope urged hungarians not to close the door on migrants and those who he said were — �*foreign or unlike us.�* hungarian prime minister, viktor 0rban attended the service — he's repeatedly criticised migration and was responsible for constructing a border wall to keep migrants out. 0ur budapest correspondent nick thorpe has been covering the pope's visit. this is kossuth square in budapest, in front of the hungarian parliament building where, in the last few minutes, the pope has been holding a holy mass attended by up to 100,000 people. people in the square here and in the neighbouring street. people are now slowly leaving the square, the pope left a few moments ago.

in his sermon here, which was his main opportunity to address the people of hungary and hungarians who flocked to hungary to listen to him, to attend his visit, he quoted the example of the good shepherd. he said it was important, he called on his listeners to open the doors which have been closed to people who are different, people who are strangers, migrants, foreigners, a very poignant message in a country that has built a fence on its southern border with serbia to keep migrants and asylum seekers out. the pope here in the square in budapest also prayed for those he called the tortured people of ukraine and for the people of russia. he prayed for peace in europe, and an end to the war. this has been a very carefully calibrated visit to hungary, three days with meetings with people from all spheres of society,

with the poor, the homeless, young people, refugees and, in the afternoon before he leaves, meetings with cultural and academic circles. it's also been an address notjust to the people of hungary but to the whole of europe, always with an emphasis on the need for peace in neighbouring ukraine. marc roscoe loustau is managing editor of thejournal of global catholicism in budapest. well, i think many were actually quite surprised that pope francis did decide to come back to hungary since, as you said, he was here very recently in 2021. the pope, ithink, really has a special pastoral concern for hungary, because, as you mentioned, prime minister viktor 0rban has led the country and is currently leading the country, including its catholic church, in a very nationalist and xenophobic direction. 0rban frequently uses racist, some would even say fascist language to talk about hungary's racial and ethnic homogeneity.

he claims also to be defending europe's christian values. the two men, pope francis and viktor 0rban, have in the past clashed repeatedly over these claims. this visit has really been no different. in chess, the magnus carlsen era is over. ding liren has become china's first world chess champion. the 30—year—old player won the rapid chess playoff against against russian—born ian nepomniachtchi in astana, in kazakhstan. ding takes over as winner of the world chess championship from norway's magnus carlsen, who chose not to defend his title after a 10—year reign. his triumph means china now holds both the men's and women's world titles. nurses in half of england's hospitals, mental health and community services will go on strike later today, with nhs chiefs warning care is at risk. the royal college of nursing union has called on the government to return to pay talks.

the health secretary, steve barclay, has expressed disappointment over the escalation. simonjones reports. they chant. the long—running dispute goes on. nurses from the rcn first walked out in december. three, four... they were back on the picket lines in january... five, six, seven, eight. then again the following month. and from eight o'clock tonight, that action is being ramped up. for the first time, some nurses who work in emergency departments, intensive care units and cancer care at affected hospitals in england are due to walk out. but following concerns from some hospitals like great 0rmond street, which treats children in london, the union has now agreed to raise staffing levels nationally in some key areas during the strike to preserve life and limb. it insists, though, this won't be business as usual. we have actually agreed a number of national exemptions, including intensive care units, emergency departments, neonatal units, paediatric intensive care and others, so let's not scare the public this morning by saying

that nursing is being reckless on this one day of strike. they most certainly are not. what do we want? fair pay! senior nurse rhianne wheater will be among those walking out again. she says it's an indication of how low morale has sunk. 25 years i've worked in the nhs and i've never seen or felt anything like this. never. it's heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking, soul destroying. it's horrible. and none of us want this for patients. some members of the unite union, including ambulance workers and paramedics, will also be on strike. they, like the rcn, rejected a 5% pay offer plus a one—off payment. but the health secretary says the latest action risks patient safety. i welcome that exemptions have now been put in place for intensive care and also for the emergency department, but it's still the case there will be significant disruption

to patients, and i think that is disrespectful to the other trade unions that are part of the nhs staff council who will be meeting on tuesday in order to vote on the fair and reasonable settlement that we agreed with them some weeks ago. despite the rcn's rejection, its expected a majority of 14 health unions will back the 5% deal at that meeting, with the government due to introduce it if they do. simon jones, bbc news. bbc health correspondent katherine da costa told us how the strikes are going to effect critical care. in previous strikes, national exemptions were in place which means that nursing cover with maintaining those critical areas, cancer service, emergency care. this time there were no national agreements. some hospitals were concerned about patient safety and around one in six

trusts that were facing industrial action had to negotiate local deals with the union. following discussions with nhs england, they have now agreed to some national exemptions and that will provide limited cover for major emergencies and intensive care. the union stresses that staffing will not be normal levels and the strike will still be more intense than previous walk—outs. the mitigations have been welcome, but healthily to say the disruption has a knock—on effect in tackling backlogs and they want to see ultimately a deal to end this dispute. a man has died and several other people have been stabbed in a brawl in bodmin in cornwall in the uk. police were called to the scene at around 3.15 this morning. the victim, who was in his 30s, died at the scene. at least seven other men and women were taken to hospital. a 24—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent. the bbc�*s alex green sent this report from the scene. now, behind me in victoria square is where police were called at about quarter past three this

morning to reports of a serious altercation. now, superintendent rob youngman from devon and cornwall police, who i spoke to earlier today, confirmed that multiple people had been stabbed in the altercation. superintendent rob youngman confirmed a man in his 30s had been confirmed dead at the scene and that his next of kin had been informed. the information we have from police at the moment is that at least seven other people, both men and women, were injured in the altercation and were taken to hospital for treatment, although their injuries are not being treated as life—threatening. a 24—year—old man from bodmin has been arrested on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent. he remains in police custody. police tell me they are treating this as an isolated incident and say the cordon will remain in place here while evidence is gathered. lastly, police are asking for people not to speculate on social media,

but to report any information they might have, and that includes cctv footage, dash cam footage, mobile phone footage that they believe could help their investigation. hollywood star nazanin boniadi's family fled iran when she was a baby. she's since starred in the rings of power, homeland, and how i met your mother. and more recently — she's been campaigning to bring more freedoms to iran. as you know, there's an entrenched system is a power that have segregated and oppress women for 44 years to deny the girls the right to health, the right to education and

the right to dissent. i think we can see some images here are some of this going on in the streets. it seems so shocking that, as we can seems so shocking that, as we can see there, girls are being gassed in the streets, in the country in which they live. it's so disturbing. i suppose after everything you have been through and everything you have been through and everything you have been following, do you feel this is getting worse? is getting more dangerous?— getting worse? is getting more dancerous? , ., . ., ., dangerous? first of all, i want to acknowledge _ dangerous? first of all, i want to acknowledge the _ dangerous? first of all, i want to acknowledge the courage - dangerous? first of all, i want to acknowledge the courage of- dangerous? first of all, i want to acknowledge the courage of the l dangerous? first of all, i want to - acknowledge the courage of the women has been contagious and the women and it does on the spark in the engine of the past seven months, the uprisings and the revolution. they have managed to galvanise irani in society at large to understand the intersection athi of gender equality and every other basic human right. it really has become a pro—democracy revolution. we are failing the iranian people, we really need to understand that he might stand by them in a similar way and a unified

—— we need to stand by them. we have not done at the same as we did for the ukrainian people against putin. when you speak to western leaders, what did they tell you? you have been right around the world campaigning, when you ask the iranian government about it, they say these are conservative values. what you hear from western leaders when they have given that answer to the international committee? what do western leaders say to you? they have been very good at selling these cultural differences, they say. they are risking their lives to prevent debunk this idea that they have been fed, that the world has been fed, the western world should understand that the iranian people are risking their lives to stand up for the rights against the suppression. no cultural norm requires sort of to be upheld by full some you know, threat of an people watching might think things have always been like this, there we

can see some pictures of your family when they lived in around and be normal freedoms. you can see your parents wedding, beautiful photographs. what goes through your mind when you look at images like that now? what through your mind when you look at images like that now?— images like that now? what i want --eole images like that now? what i want eo - le to images like that now? what i want peeple to know — images like that now? what i want people to know is _ images like that now? what i want people to know is that _ images like that now? what i want people to know is that pre-1979, l images like that now? what i want l people to know is that pre-1979, the people to know is that pre—1979, the islamic revolution, there was a peaceful coexistence of women who wore the hijab and who did not not not. we have the right to choose. and what the islamic revolution did it set back women's rights in all human rights back decades, but particularly for women and girls because that is really a pillar of the exam —like republic, the segregation —— the islamic republic. the legal age of women was reduced from 18 to nine after the revolution. that was later raised to 13 bait girls as young as nine can still marry with the permission of their father.

i wonder if there's been a lot of discussion for people who speak out, not just discussion for people who speak out, notjust inside iran but also outside the country, as you do. i want to tell people the main risk has been taken by the people of a run and so i will continue my fight. i want to urge people to support the legal definition of gender apartheid, we are going to try and get it defined in international law. i want international lawmakers to prescribe the gic has a terrace organisation. —— terrorist organisation. —— terrorist organisation. right here in the uk, british people's lives are endangered by the rigc. preparations are under way across the uk for thousands of community events that will take place around the coronation of king charles and queen camilla. 0rganisers of community street

parties say there have been 50—thousand requests for packs of bunting and other materials. for some it's brought back memories of the last coronation in 1953. mark easton reports from east london — and talks to some of the local residents about how they view this coronation. # in a golden coach there is a heart of gold riding # through old london town #. east end royalty. it's the pearly queen of hackney. jackie murphy wasjust 12 when she sang on a show on hackney�*s wilton estate to celebrate the 1953 coronation. with cloth in short supply, she and her younger sister wore outfits made of crepe paper. what would i have seen on coronation day? bunting everywhere, flags. mums chasing the kids about, it was just lovely, really.

east end street parties provided the source material for a famous essay on the meaning of the coronation, an active national communion in which the people of the united kingdom became more sensitive to the values which bound them altogether. does the coronation 2023 hold the same meaning? do the people of the east end see it as more of an for a knees—up and a day off work? it is our history. i do not think there is anywhere in the world that have got the history we have got with our monarchies. does it make you feel special? very. i think so. i think we can be uppity about it. celebrations on coronation road drew photographers back in 1953, today, not so much evidence of local enthusiasm but at the primary school that backs onto coronation road, well, here anticipation is tangible. the coronation to us

is the start of a new era. since queen elizabeth sadly passed away we will have a new heir to live up to her legacy and make our country a better place. it makes me happy because i know that i get to see - a ginormous event happening. i love royal history, i really like it. it is about identity, it is about recognising that we are all british and the mantra of the british values. this coronation footage found on hackney council's archive depicts a 19th—century built east end since largely demolished to make way for modern housing for the elizabethan age. the �*60s lochner estate is busy planning a street party for the new king. how do you feel about this coronation? i can't get as excited about as i did when i was younger.

it is not the same. you are out to making crowns, part of the community effort. that's about it! you have a particular role in this coronation. thejerk chicken. everyone on the estate will enjoy lorenzo'sjerk chicken, communal table we all contribute to. polls suggest britain has not yet got excited about the coronation but you will find communities preparing to celebrate something that reflects a shared history, shared values. despite or perhaps because times are difficult, people want to hang out the bunting for what binds them together. mark easton, bbc news, east london. lots more coronation years to come.

stay with us here on bbc news. thanks for watching. —— lots more coronation news. hello there. so far, we've had more rain than average across england this month. the south and east have been particularly west. there are some areas that have seen nearly double the average april rainfall, which is just like last month, a second month on the road that it's been wet. but like last month, northern scotland has actually had drier weather than average. it's also been a bit sunnier and a bit milder, too. now, to add to those rainfall figures, we've got today's rain. you can see it has been quite a wet day with plenty of showers around. some of those showers have turned heavy with some thunderstorms in northern ireland heading towards western scotland overnight. tonight, there will be further showers coming and going and often it's going to be fairly cloudy. the cloud will stop temperatures from falling very fast. so our overnight lows

get down to between six and nine degrees celsius. now, tomorrow, a reasonable start to the day. there will be quite a bit of morning cloud, but i think some sunny spells break through that reasonably quickly. there'll be some showers, too. this band of showers pushes southwards across scotland through the day. colder air follows and across eastern areas of england. the showers that develop through the afternoon could turn out to be quite heavy with some thunderstorms as well. but with temperatures mainly between 1a and 18 degrees, it won't feel too bad if you're in the sunshine with colder out working into scotland through the afternoon. temperatures across the north drop back to about seven degrees in aberdeen and stornoway and then monday night it turns cold enough for some patches of frost to develop across the north of the uk. that's because we'll have clear skies thanks to this ridge of high pressure that's going to be building in across the country into tuesday. so tuesday should be a dry day for most of you. some spells of sunshine around, probably quite lengthy spells of sunshine, too. there'll be a few showers coming into the north of scotland, but otherwise most areas will keep sunny spells going into the afternoon with just a bit of cloud spreading across the skies for a time. early afternoon temperatures about 15 to 16 degrees quite widely, but colder again across the north of scotland on its wednesday.

a bit more cloud around in the sky, potentially a few patches of rain across the west, not really amounting to too much. but with the winds coming in from the east, around our eastern coast of scotland and england, it's here where temperatures would be pegged back at around ten to 13 degrees, a little bit milder further west, 1a to 16. but those temperatures are below average for may. and beyond that, the weather pattern looks like it's going to stay generally pretty unsettled with further showers or longer spells of rain.

this is bbc news, the headlines: sudan's army launches a major attack on khartoum — as it attempts to retake areas held by the rival rsf militia. tanks and heavy artillery have been deployed to the capital. residents are warned to stay indoors. but emergency aid is finally arriving into the country. nurses in half of england's hospitals are set to strike later at eight o'clock this evening. nhs chiefs warn that care is at risk. but unions call on the government to return to the negotiating table. the pope concludes a three—day visit to hungary. earlier, tens of thousands of people attend an open air mass in central budapest. the pontiff calls on hungarians to be open towards migrants coming
