this is bbc news. the headlines. humanitarian organisations desperately try to give aid to citizens is a fragile cease—fire continues. in the us, first republic has become the third bank to collapse in the matter of months. a

eurovision 2023 kicks off and just over a week in liverpool and we to former ukrainian contestant. welcome back. the united nations is sending its top aid official to sudan to help co—ordinate relief efforts after warning that the humanitarian situation there is reaching breaking point. fighting continues and the leader cease—fire. and there's going to leave the country and evacuation from port sudan and the red sea are also continuing. those not able to leave by plant or going across tojeddah in saudi arabia. and they gave me their assessment of events. this is taken so many by surprise and snow its third week and now the cease—fire that is been extended is

now barely holding and whether it is the people you see disembarking from the people you see disembarking from the warships and the passenger ferries who come into the port here in saudi arabia or as we did, making the ten hours and sometimes it can are crossing across the red sea and port sudan were many people are making the difficult and dangerous journey hoping, desperately hoping to find a way out, we find that when we meet it is a mixture of relief to be finding a way to flee the fighting but also anxiety and sadness that they are leaving so many loved ones behind and that is the case of many people who are leaving the ship today with american passports were also sudanese and leaving behind most members of their family who did not have what i really cordon passports which are tickets to safety. it is such a

mixture of emotions and most people know that as hard as this moment is, is most likely to get even harder. looking at the live pictures which is now in complete darkness, there is now in complete darkness, there is now in complete darkness, there is no electricity and people are talking about running out of supplies and the uncertainty of what's going to happen next which is most frightening for those were fleeing for the 50 million sudanese remain. , . ~ fleeing for the 50 million sudanese remain. , ., ~ ., , ., remain. this talk of this for 72 hours but _ remain. this talk of this for 72 hours but looked _ remain. this talk of this for 72 hours but looked at _ remain. this talk of this for 72 hours but looked at the - remain. this talk of this for 72| hours but looked at the images remain. this talk of this for 72 - hours but looked at the images and the sounds coming from khartoum. given the central bank went up in flames. that's the kind of utter disregard that these gunmen on the streets are shown for the future of their country, the streets are empty and when people are in their homes, they are in hiding, notjust for the

violence but for the wanton looting we heard so many stories from so many people of gunmen breaking into their homes, of ransacking the house and basically taking everything away. this is a time of utter lawlessness and dissent into this orgy of violence that is making people so fearful for the future of sudan the talk about the pain of losing their homes, losing their livelihoods and the fear of losing their country. 0ne one of those trying to escape is a sudanese film—maker and earlier to him from port sudan. sudanese film-maker and earlier to him from port sudan.— him from port sudan. yesterday mornin: , him from port sudan. yesterday morning. from _ him from port sudan. yesterday morning, from khartoum - him from port sudan. yesterday morning, from khartoum after l him from port sudan. yesterday i morning, from khartoum after 20 hours and we had to, it is common in general, but the area where the refugees are waiting for the boats

you didn't have to worry anyway. but if you had more than $250,000 in deposit, as of now, you have that deposit withjp morgan chase, the largest bank in america. first republic was known for having a big mortgage lending business and a large stable of wealthy clients. as interest rates soared, it was forced to borrow at higher rates and was always seen as vulnerable. it's the third mid—sized us bank to collapse this year, following the failure of silicon valley bank and new york—based signature bank. now, there have been fears this is the start of another financial crisis. if we look back at 2008, yes, it started with one bank, northern rock, but quickly spread to lots of others. the issue was weak rules around mortgage lending and pretty

much every bank was exposed. since 2008, the rules around lending have been tightened and banks have to have more money in reserve to ride out difficult periods. so, the hope now is this can be contained to a few banks and this is the end of recent turmoil. if this had happened a month ago, i think there would have been substantial concerns about basically contagion, the concept of one bank is going to cause another bank to fail and runs on banks. the marketplace has settled down a good bit over the last month. at least one more interest rate rise is predicted in the us and uk. smaller banks could face more strain. how relaxed the markets are over this rescue deal will become clear in the next few hours. marc ashdown, bbc news. i spoke to the chief economist at the financial in new york and have a listen. it will make it was a series including two silicon valley banks and now first republic there including two silicon valley banks and now first republi- and now first republic there were amoni the and now first republic there were among the 20 _ and now first republic there were among the 20 biggest _ and now first republic there were among the 20 biggest in - and now first republic there were among the 20 biggest in the - and now first republic there were among the 20 biggest in the us. |

bank holiday in the boozer. what's not to like? well, it turns out if you are in the hospitality business quite a lot. are we closing our kitchens? clive watson runs more than a0 pubs including this one in west london. the last 12 months we thought covid was behind us, but then we went into the storm of cost increases, particularly on food, it has gone up by 20%, labour, just recently a hike in the labour costs, that is by 10%. drink prices have gone up about ten to 15%. so the cost impacts are huge on the industry. if it is the punters though who pay the price, you risk losing business. it's not ideal to pass the cost on because they become less competitive in the market, people don't want to spend more money because costs have gone up with heating, etc, and it does affect business but they have to pass the cost on otherwise, as i say, they are going to have to close down.

it has obviouslyjust been payday, so we have all come out, no—brainer, but, yeah, at the end of the month we definitely decide to stay in. and do you feel places have got more expensive? yeah, 100%, yeah. i don't blame them to be honest because they are getting less people walk through the door. they are doing a brisk bank holiday trade here in west london but there is no doubt it has been an extremely challenging year for the hospitality industry. some 11,500 businesses have closed in the last 12 months at a rate of around 12 a day. things have actually improved a bit since the start of the year, they are now closing at a rate of only eight a day. high energy costs remain one of the single biggest factors. the italian restaurant chain prezzo recently announced it was closing 46 of its outlets, placing much of the blame on high utility bills. today marks the start of a big month for the hospitality industry with three bank holidays, including the coronation weekend. but for thousands of businesses it comes too late. jon donnison, bbc news.

both of those things successfully stop you confronted those nazis, didn't you, you found one of those people who had afflicted these horrors are you and your family and so many others in your community. yes, ifound after a long so many others in your community. yes, i found after a long search, so many others in your community. yes, ifound after a long search, i found out that he was a terrible murderer. and when he went to the camp, he left a few people dead. and i always say, give an example of one person that was two rows in front of me and when they passed by, they said step out and they were lined up in rows, and when they stepped out, they said i cannot take that you are looking so handsome and he took out

your message and they say education and then i say why do you say that? education is very important because there are a lot of people in the world and anti—semitism and a lot of deniers to the holocaust, the holocaust is so well documented all of the world, how can people, evil people come and deny it? there were 6 million dues killed and ——jewish people killed and another 50 million in world war ii, how could she deny that and that is evil people. so, we have to be very well educated to fight them. have to be very well educated to fight them-— have to be very well educated to fight them. and you are 96 now, a handful of survivors _ fight them. and you are 96 now, a handful of survivors from - fight them. and you are 96 now, a handful of survivors from the - handful of survivors from the holocaust, how important is it for you to tell your story?— holocaust, how important is it for you to tell your story? because if i do not tell— you to tell your story? because if i do not tell it, _ you to tell your story? because if i do not tell it, no _ you to tell your story? because if i do not tell it, no one _ you to tell your story? because if i do not tell it, no one will- you to tell your story? because if i do not tell it, no one will know - you to tell your story? because if i do not tell it, no one will know if i do not tell it, no one will know if people are starting to forget now. and i did not say but she pushed me

good evening. it's been pleasant enough in the sunshine today, but there have been a fair few sharp showers around and one or two will rumble on through this evening. yes, there are some thundery downpours around which carries on the unsettled theme and particularly across southern and eastern parts of england and wales. parts of kent have had their wettest march and april for 90 years. but actually some parts of the northwest have had rainfall below the average and temperatures during the day below the average. once again, as we started may, some cold arctic air is spilling southwards. so any showers will fade away as we go through the evening. and overnight, clear skies in the north leading to a frost. whilst further south, it's more likely we'll see some mist and some fog filling in any gaps and some fog as well around the irish sea coast. so perhaps a little bit on the dull and murky side as we start our tuesday morning, even thick enough, some of the clouds in central and eastern areas for the odd spot of drizzle, but generally it will tend to brighten up. we've got the sunshine already with us in the north and bright for most some sunshine generally light winds.

it won't be as mild as monday because we've introduced that chilly air so particularly near the north sea coast, nine and ten. and we have a little bit of rain creeping in from the west later. but that's not going to stop the pollen levels from being high across northern ireland, much of wales, central and western parts of england during the day on tuesday. as we go through the evening on tuesday, we will find that weather frontjust brushing some rain through northern ireland towards the southwest of scotland. elsewhere under the clearing skies, i think further south, it's set to be colder as we head towards wednesday morning. the clear skies starting to come in here could be a little bit of patchy mist and fog around, but it does mean a prospect of more sunshine during the course of wednesday after the chilly start once the mist and murk clears away. but there will be quite a bit of cloud with our weakening weather front across northern and western parts of scotland. so it's a little milder here, but we've lost our sunshine and generally there'll be quite a bit of cloud mulling around and that sets the scene really for the rest of the week, which looks quite unsettled. low pressure to the west of us. the winds switch to the south or southwest, throwing the weather fronts away, showers or longer spells of rain. at least temperatures should lift a little back towards the normal

for the time of year. but as you can see for yourselves, it's a fairly showery looking picture for the first week of may. as ever, there's more on the website.
