live from london. this is bbc news. the sudanese army says a temporary truce has been agreed with rebels, despite heavy fighting in khartoum. nurses in england start industrial action in a row over pay. patients are warned that emergency care wil be affected. and liverpool boost their europa league qualification hopes, despite suffering a scare at home in a seven goal thriller with spurs. sudan's two rival military factions have announced

a new ceasefire, but are showing no sign whatsoever of stopping their fighting in the capital khartoum. the united nations and african union are warning that the people of sudan are in dire need of a humanitarian truce. thousands of people are still trying to get out of the country. our africa correspondent has been speaking to some of them. 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. on 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.

these are some of the latest pictures out of port sudan in sudan. they show united states citizens waiting to board an american navy ship. us officials say hundreds of citizens are likely to be evacuated on the the usns brunswick, which is a fast transport vessel. the us state department has said that it has helped nearly a thousand us citizens depart sudan since the violence began. well, the uk evacuation operation from an airfield near khartoum has ended. these were some of the final people to be flown out from the wadi saeedna airfield, north of the sudanese capital yesterday evening. but an extra evacuation flight has been arranged from port sudan tomorrow. our correspondent sanchia berg has more on what the british foreign 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 orban attended the service — he's repeatedly criticised migration and was responsible for constructing a border wall to keep migrants out. nurses in england have, in the last hour, begun a 28 hour strike, with nhs leaders are calling for the public to use health services wisely. it's the latest in a series of walkout over pay. our reporter nicky schiller is in the newsroom with more. as you say, it's the latest in a series of strikes by nurses in the rcn in england. they've already walked out twice this year in their

dispute over pay. 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 ormond 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. we have 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 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. we welcome that exemptions have been put in place for intensive care and 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 we agreed with them some weeks ago.

the meeting on tuesday is important because it's where the 14 unions involved in the health service will decide whether collectively to accept that pay offer of 5%, and if they do, that will put extra pressure on the rcn and its members to do the same. 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. 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. 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. police in ecuador say at least ten people have been killed in an attack in the southwestern port city of guayaquil. officers said the attack happened on sunday night when unidentified gunmen opened fire on a group of people who had gathered at a workshop. it's not clear who carried out the killings, but ecuador has recently seen a rise in violence linked to drugs gangs. french police are trying to find armed robbers who raided an upmarketjewellery store in paris. officers say they entered the bulgari store in broad daylight on saturday.

one robber apparently stood guard with a gun outside while the robbery took place. the value of what was taken is still being assessed. huge crowds have visited a section of china's great wall near beijing. it's the second day of the country's five day labour day holiday. local media reported that tickets had sold out with more than 14 thousand people visiting the famous tourist attraction. the super mario movie has now made over $1 billion at the global box office. it's the first film of the year to cross that milestone and comes just 26 days after it was released. based on nintendo's hit video game the movie got a number of poor reviews from the critics but the public seem to have loved it. its�* time for sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's lizzie greenwood—hughes. 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. thank god. he saved us and that makes us feel great, but from a development point of view, a lot of things to love about the game and a lot of things to not like. and that's my life, but i like the good parts that much that i have my feeling that we can sort the other

staff, we cancel, and that's what we have to do and keep on. (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 villa 1—0 napoli's wait for a first serie a title since 1990 goes on. they drew 1—1 at home to mid—table salernitana so so the celebrations will have to wait at least another week. sofia bettiza was there. naples was poised for an epic celebration today and all day long it that has felt like a street party with people singing and dancing and even crying. and just a few streets away first thing in the morning lots of napoli fans gathered there and everybody was so set up and it was

only a matter of hours before they became champions and people here feel they deserve a win and it's not over yet and at napoli have one chance to win the title next thursday when they play against udinese. and everybody here will be watching the game. sergio perez won the azerbhajan grand prix but there was a hairy moment at the end of the race when the alpeen driver esteban ocon came into the pitlane with a lap to go to make his mandatory tyre stop, only to find his path blocked by officals and photographers. they moved and a tradegy was avoided but formula one is updating its procedures before the next race. perez beat his red bull team mate max verstappen to cut his championship lead to six points after 4 races. it was very close between us. we pushed to the maximum today and we both clipped the ball a few times and we were pushing out their on the way max pushed me throughout the

race was really hard but we managed to keep him under control. luca brecel made a blistering start against 4 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. let's see how he is doing in the evening session, still winning, 8—5, so you could say that mark selby has won the latter part of the evening session. �* , . . session. he's added three extra frames and _ session. he's added three extra frames and brecel _ session. he's added three extra frames and breceljust - session. he's added three extra frames and breceljust the - session. he's added three extra frames and breceljust the two. j session. he's added three extra - frames and breceljust the two. the first 18 will win and the match will conclude tomorrow, so on bank holiday monday. and that's all the sport for now.

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 on saturday. organisers 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 have been to east london to talk to some of the local residents there 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. 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 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. thejerk chicken. everybody on our estate will come 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. to the coronation of king charles on the bbc news website and app, including a 360 degree view of the inside of westminster abbey. next if working on a remote island with eight million birds sound like the idealjob, then this is for you. britain's royal society for the protection of birds is looking for someone to join a team of six to work on gough island, which is a seven day boat trip from south africa, right in the middle of the atlantic ocean. jonathan hall is from the rspb. it slap bang in the middle of the south atlantic in one of the most breeding islands on the planet and has big threats from introduced mice which are severely reducing the seabird populations in thisjob on behalf of the local community on the

nearby islands is really to monitor the impact of those mice and make sure we are aware of all of what is going on to the seabird species. you are in the middle of nowhere, as you said, seven hours from cape town and you are therefore probably 13 months, so you are out in a field for long days, but if you love seabirds. this is real abundance. you are looking up huge green hills and seeing build balls of white that you might think she put in this case are albatross chicks and you are entering caves where floor is covered in seabird chicks and the beaches, you are covered in penguins and you think may be the rocks are moving when you walk along them and it's not the rocks, it's the seal pups. it's a real place of abundance. the hardship, the remoaners, the lack of fresh food is all rewarded by the incredible wildlife. ., ., , y

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 14 and 18 degrees, it won't feel too bad if you're in the sunshine with colder air 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 into 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, 14 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.
