live from london. this is bbc news. the sudanese army says a temporary truce has been agreed with rebels, despite heavy fighting in the capital khartoum. nurses in england have just started industrial action in a row over pay. patients are warned that emergency care wil be affected. with a just a week to go until the coronation, british subjects will be invited to swear allegiance to the king. 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 arejust 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. my mobile, some money and my laptop was with me. andrew harding, bbc news, port sudan. and andrew has just arrived injeddah in saudi arabia. and gave us this update. is increasingly becoming the hub for people looking to escape as the fighting intensifies in khartoum, 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 tojeddah. 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. 0ur correspondent sanchia berg has more on what the british foriegn office has said. what the foreign office is saying is there will be an exceptional flight out of port sudan rather than the airstrip just 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 going to try to get onto that flight has to be at the british evacuation handling centre by midday sudanese time tomorrow. and just a quick reminder of who's eligible to get on that flight, british nationals, of course, their dependents but also nhs clinicians who are not british nationals, who are currently working in the nhs. and that's the doctors, of course, who we've heard a lot about over 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 this flight and they said as far as they knew, there were only a small number of british nationals remaining in sudan. 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. nurses in england havejust begun a 28 hour strike that will last until midnight on monday. it's the latest in a series of walkout over pay. 0ur reporter nicky schiller

is in the newsroom with more. it's the latest in a series of strikes by the rcn in england and they've already walked out twice this year in their dispute over pay and have rejected the government offer of a 5% rise under one off payment. 0riginally offer of a 5% rise under one off payment. originally the action was due to last 48 hours but the government took legal action and a judge back to the government saying that the rcn's mandate would run out in that period so it could only be a 28 hour strike. now, the difference this time compared to the other walk—outs is that critical services are involved, things like accident and emergency units, intensive care departments and some cancer treatments. nhs bosses had expressed concerned about that and indeed the world famous children's hospital,

great 0rmond street hospital said it was worried about staffing levels so the royal college of nursing said it would agree to a minimum level of staffing allowing nurses to be called in into those critical areas. here is the rcn general secretary pat cullen. irate here is the rcn general secretary pat cullen. ~ . here is the rcn general secretary pat cullen-— here is the rcn general secretary pat cullen. ~ . . ., , pat cullen. we have agreed a number of national exemptions _ pat cullen. we have agreed a number of national exemptions including - of national exemptions including intensive — of national exemptions including intensive care units, emergency departments, neonatal units, paediatric intensive care and others so let's_ paediatric intensive care and others so let's not— paediatric intensive care and others so let's not scare the public this morning — so let's not scare the public this morning by saying that nursing is being _ morning by saying that nursing is being reckless on this one day of strike _ being reckless on this one day of strike. they are most certainly not. and what _ strike. they are most certainly not. and what are the government saying? the health secretary steve barclay has expressed disappointment over the latest strike action warning that it could put patient safety at risk, but what he did do was welcome the move by the rcn that it would allow nurses to be called in into those critical areas. here is the health secretary. indie

grievous bodily harm with intent. russia has sacked its deputy defence minister, who doubles as the officer in charge of armed forces logistics. colonel general was only appointed to the role last september, but was blamed for continued logistical problems with the invasion of ukraine. let's speak to paul moss — he's the europe regional editor with the bbc world service this is a remarkable development because we are told that when there are problems with the problems with logistics it's often hard to say whether this is propaganda we are being fed or truth, but in this case what the general sacking indicates is something has gone seriously wrong. to give you some background, there's been wrong —— long—running complaints from soldiers in the field that they are not getting the

supplies they need and down to uniforms or food that they are not getting enough of it and it was for that reason that this general was brought in only last september being made deputy defence secretary and, crucially, put in charge of the logistics operation for the army in ukraine and what happens? six months later he is sacked its continuing questions about whether the army is getting the supplies it needs and what is interesting is that the man who has replaced him is an official from the russian national guard, and the national guard was set up by vladimir putin himself a few years ago and is there to protect russia's internal borders and crucially the russian national guard answers directly to vladimir putin, so it seems he wanted to get his own man in there to run the operation, the logistics operation in ukraine. 50 logistics operation in ukraine. so what about the counteroffensive that has been warned of? has there been an indication that will come?

there's an important point here, the head of the notorious mercenary group, the wagner group, and a short time after the sacking of the general was confirmed, he said that if the counteroffensive comes then russia could have, and i quote, a tragedy on its hands because they don't have enough ammunition, again a reference to logistical problems and he is a man who seems to have a licence to speak his mind but for him to suggest is counteroffensive could end in a tragedy, great strong words indeed but when it could come, a lot of speculation that people use to the military manners think may is a likely time, and we did have another clue, and you will remember only yesterday in sebastopol it they were hit by what seem to be a drone attack, the russian occupied area in crimea and today what we have heard is a man from, a spokesman from the

ukrainian armed forces suggested and they did not confirm it, that it was done by ukraine and they don't normally admit to doing these things and suggested it was preparation for the counteroffensive, and another indication that it could be coming soon. ., ., ~' indication that it could be coming soon. . ., ~ i. ., soon. paul, thank you for the u date. big news in the premier league, manchester city have gone top of the table. they beat fulham 2—1 to leapfrog arsenal with a game in hand. erling haaland scored early on from the penalty spot to give himself 50 goals for the season, the first top player to reach that milestone for more than 90 years. city are still on course for a premier league, champions league and fa cup treble. there was a dramatic finish at anfield in the race for fifth place. liverpool had been 3—0 up against tottenham within the opening quarter of an hour, but spurs launched a remarkable comeback — eventually making it 3—3 in the second minute of injury time. but after a lapse of concentration,

diogojota was able to steal a winner for liverpool to leave them walking away with the three points. in the other games — bournemouth thrashed leeds and are now all but safe in 13th place. and even though leeds are 16th — they are just one point off the relegation places. newcastle beat strugglers southampton who are still rooted to the bottom of the table. newcastle having an incredible season are currently third. and manchester united beat aston vill1—0, but before the match, united fans marched in protest against the continued ownership by the glazer family and opposing any potential plans for them to retain a stake after the club is sold. it comes as sirjim ratcliffe and ineos are said to be favourites to buy united with a valuation higher than the £5 billion bid from the qatari group on friday. it's been a nail—biting afternoon for napoli fans in italy. they could have won their first serie a title since 1990 , but only if they beat salernitana.

and they didn't do it — only managing a 1—1 draw. so the fans, who were building up to a big celebration, will have to put the champagne on ice for another week in naples. the last time they won the league, diego maradona was playing for them. it's been an incredible weekend in azerbaijan for sergio perez. after winning formula 0ne's first sprint race of the season on saturday, he's now added a grand prix victory. the mexican started from third on the grid in baku behind his red bull team mate max verstappen. they both passed the ferrari of charles leclerc — who had been on pole. but when verstappen stopped for fresh tyres, the safety car came out and perez was able to get ahead. he's cut verstappen's championship lead to six points after a races. lewis hamilton was sixth. luca brecel made a blistering start against four—time champion mark selby in the final of the world snooker championship in sheffield. the belgian came close to a century break in the opening frame, raced into a 3—0 lead against the englishman and won the finalframe of the first session.

he started the evening session with a 6—2 lead. before this year, brecel had never won a match at the crucible and is bidding to become the first player from mainland europe to win snooker�*s most prestigious prize. live pictures from the crucible in sheffield, and brecel has added another frame leading 7—a, so mark selby has caught up a little, taking a couple of friends, so 7—a, brecel again selby and the first to 18 frames will win. this vinyl goes all the way into tomorrow, into monday at the crucible —— this final. and that's all the sport for now. 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. 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. we are now more than six months on from the beginning of protests in the country, and the actress has been speaking on sunday with laura kuessnberg and told us more about how daily life is for women in iran now. you know, girls are still experiencing gas attacks in schools, just yesterday in tehran and mashhad, so it's continuing. and this is really in order for the islamic republic to hold on to these, uphold these entrenched systems of power that have segregated and oppressed women for aa years, to deny these girls the right to health, the right to education and the rights to dissent.

and i think we can see some images here of some of this going on in the streets. i mean, it 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've been through and everything you've been following about what's happening in iran, do you feel this is getting worse? is it becoming more dangerous? well, first i want to acknowledge that these the girls, their courage and the women of iran, their courage has been contagious. and, yes, the women and the girls were the spark of the engine of the past seven months, the uprisings and the revolution. but what they've managed to do is they've galvanised iranian society at large to understand the intersectionality of gender equality and every other basic human right. and so it really has become a pro—democracy revolution. but we are failing the iranian people. we really need to stand unequivocally by them in a similar

way that we did in a unified... in a unified and immediate way against putin in ukraine. we haven't done that for the people of iran against the islamic republic. but when you speak to western leaders, though, what do they tell you? i know you've been at the un, you've been right around the world campaigning on this. you know, when you ask the iranian government about it, they say, well, iran is an islamic country. these are our conservative values. so what do you hear from western leaders when they've given that answer to the international community? what do western leaders then say to you? well, the islamic republic has been very good at selling this point of sort of these are cultural differences. the people of iran are risking their lives to prove and debunk this idea that they've 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 their rights against this oppression. no cultural norm requires sort of to be upheld by force, with batons

and threat of imprisonment. 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 50,000 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 it through old london town #. east end royalty. it's the pearly queen of hackney. pearly queenjackie murphy was just 12 when she sang in 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

all around me on coronation day? bunting everywhere, loads of flags and mums chasing the kids about, it was just lovely, really. eastenders street parties provided the source material for a famous essay on the meaning of the coronation, the authors saw it an active national communion in which the people of the united kingdom became more sensitive to the values which bound them altogether. but does the coronation 2023 hold the same meaning? do the people of the east end see it as more of an opportunity for a knees—up and a day off work? it's our history. i don't think there is anywhere in the world that have got the history that we've got with our monarchies. does it make you feel special? very. i think so. yeah, i think we can be uppity about it. celebrations in east london's

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'll 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 their new king. how do you feel about this coronation? i can't get as excited about as i did when i was younger. it's not the same, i don't know. you're out to making crowns, you're part of the community effort. yeah, well, that's about it! lorenzo, you have a particular role in this coronation, do you not? i'm just the food man. the food man. chicken man. the jerk chicken. everybody on our estate will come i out and enjoy lorenzo's jerk chicken and we'll have a communal table that we all contribute to. - now, there are polls suggesting that britain hasn't yet got excited about the coronation, but look around and you'll find communities preparing to celebrate something that reflects a shared history, shared customs and 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 of coverage heading into the coronation next saturday. a bridge in the south korean capital seoul has been turned into a giant catwalk. globalfashion brand louis vuitton held a fashion show along the 795 metre doube decker bridge that spans the han river. traffic was stopped for 2a hours to allow the structure to be converted for the event. south korean actresses and kpop stars were amongst models to take to the catwalk. the sudanese army says a new ceasefire in sudan has been agreed. it comes after sudan's army launched a major attack on khartoum on rebels. tanks and heavy artillery were deployed to the capital. meanwhile emergency aid is finally arriving into the country.
