of that the perpetrators will be pursued and not escape justice as has happened in previous cases in sudan. lets talk more about the humanitarian situation in sudan, we can speak to a hello to you, just talk us through what the situation is in terms of the humanitarian needs in the country. this in terms of the humanitarian needs in the country.- needs in the country. as you 'ust needs in the country. as you just heard. _ needs in the country. as you just heard, the _ needs in the country. as you just heard, the violence - needs in the country. as you just heard, the violence is i just heard, the violence is causing tremendous amount of displacement, it's causing tremendous hunger, the most recent release stated highlights some people are suffering from catastrophic anger me needed to the impact of the conflict. a further 8.5 million more are suffering from emergency levels of food and security and the famine review

68,000 female farmers across the country. with seeds and tools and training to help them get through this current planting season. it will continue to provide assistance in the upcoming harvest period. this dual focus mandate essentially helps us ensure that we are responding both to the immediate needs of conflict induced anger now where ipc is taking place while also supporting communities who are able to help them provides and grow food for themselves. what impact of sanctions having? the impact of sanctions having? the impact remain to be seen. as the reports mentioned, the parties continue to act with impunity. mercy corps supports any international efforts three european wins a council or individual governments to

pressure the parties to agree to a ceasefire. to stop using hunger as a weapon of war and to allow humanitarian organisations like mystical free and unfettered access to. we recently and the danish refugee council that looked at some of these access constraints and the impact of the famine conditions on affected populations and we found that many communities that are quite hard to reach in particular in caravan and cartoon are really struggling with a lack of humanitarian assistance. this means that families are going without meals during the week to ensure that their children can eat, this means that lactating mothers aren't able to breast—feed their children because they lack a proper nutrition and diet. they are

skipping meals. we have reports of individuals picking leaves of individuals picking leaves of trees and boiling them with dirt in orderto of trees and boiling them with dirt in order to have a meal. all of this paints a very, very grim picture. beyond the statistics that we continue to hear about saddam, of what life is like. . ~ hear about saddam, of what life is like. ., ~' ,, hear about saddam, of what life is like. ., ~ i. hear about saddam, of what life is like. . ~' . hear about saddam, of what life is like. ., ~ . ., is like. thank you so much for talkin: is like. thank you so much for talking to _ is like. thank you so much for talking to us _ is like. thank you so much for talking to us about _ is like. thank you so much for talking to us about it. - is like. thank you so much for talking to us about it. i - talking to us about it. i appreciate your china has announced that it will raise its retirement age for the first time since the 19505. for the first time since the 1950s. as for the first time since the 19505. as it for the first time since the 1950s. as it looks to temper a looming ageing demographic references. some are able to retire as young as 50, it has one of the youngest retirement agesin one of the youngest retirement ages in the world and hopes it will confront an ageing ageing population, dwindling pension budget and low birth rates. the government says men will stop

working at 63 instead of 60, gradually following european countries where men in most countries where men in most countries retire when they are 65 or 67. for women, countries retire when they are 65 or 67. forwomen, the statutory retirement age will be woman in white collarjobs will see the retirement age go from 55 to 58. these are usually professionals are teachers or accountants or anyone who works in service industries and receives regular monthly salaries. speak now to our correspondence who is... why is the retirement age so low in china currently? the retirement _ low in china currently? the retirement age _ low in china currently? the retirement age which - low in china currently? tue: retirement age which set low in china currently? tte: retirement age which set in low in china currently? t'te: retirement age which set in the 1950s. china's life expectancy is around 40 years old. it is very low so that's why i

inaudible it solo so nearly doubled stop the life expectancy was originally more than 78 years old so that is why this is one of the reasons why this is one of the reasons why the government had to increase the retirement age. how are people reacting to this change? t how are people reacting to this chan . e? ~ how are people reacting to this chance? ~ �* , how are people reacting to this chance? ~ �*, ., change? i think it's a mix. some peeple _ change? i think it's a mix. some people think, - change? i think it's a mix. some people think, yeah, j change? i think it's a mix. - some people think, yeah, from the government point of view they had to do this because china, the population is ageing and yeah, the pension and pressure because more people are needed to get the pension payments to end. meanwhile, the working population declines and that means less people were there to support retired people

so that means the current pension cannot continue so that is why the government had to increase the retirement age. but, people of course are workers as you mentioned, they are not happy with that because some want to work longer but i think a lot of people working at university and also means that the they welcome this change so i think there is reaction. change so i think there is reaetion-_ change so i think there is reaction. there is a mixed reaction — reaction. there is a mixed reaction but _ reaction. there is a mixed reaction but i _ reaction. there is a mixed reaction but i think - reaction. there is a mixed reaction but i think it - reaction. there is a mixed reaction but i think it very| reaction but i think it very much needed because the economy still reeling isn't it? from covid and they looked on impact. t covid and they looked on im act. ~ covid and they looked on imact. ~' ., covid and they looked on imact. ~ ., ., impact. i think one reason, another— impact. i think one reason, another reason _ impact. i think one reason, another reason why - impact. i think one reason, another reason why the - another reason why the government had to take action at the current moment to increase the retirement age is because the economy has grown a lot and china's economy is not

recovering as quickly as we expected. the labour supply has declined since... it is one of the reasons why it is slowing down the economy. if they increase the retirement age, this will mean an increase in labour supply. this will mean an increase in laboursupply. it this will mean an increase in labour supply. it will help to mitigate these effects. declining labour supply so this is quite important by the government had to do this now. thank you very much a talking to just before we go to the break, let's tell you about the danish vatican and had a rather large coin collection dating back to and are now quite a lot. it is

thought to be estimated at $74 million and in some of the collection has been capped by his relatives that they will be “p his relatives that they will be up for auction tomorrow. it is expected to attract bids from one of the world's wealthiest people. the president of stax bowers, the auction house overseeing the sale of the corn, overseeing the sale of the corn. ...— corn, goes back to the very beginning _ corn, goes back to the very beginning of— corn, goes back to the very beginning of coins around - corn, goes back to the very beginning of coins around and | beginning of coins around and started to be made, some starting to be collected. what's when is that we are going to see items sell for two and three figure sums in us dollars all the way up to hopefully seven figures. and, you're really going to get this brought reach of people participating. you don't have to be a billionaire to hone a

the us is not planning any change in the limit placed on ukraine's use of us made weapons to hit russian territory. plenty about that later on. hello again. over the past few days and nights, it'sjust been getting that little bit colder each time. now the coldest night of this week was last night where we had a pinch of frost quite widely, temperatures as low as minus three celsius — unusually cold for this early in autumn. but, with the clearer skies last night, well, you got a view of the northern lights in many places. the activity is not going to be so strong tonight, plus there'll be more clouds, so it's going to be more difficult to see tonight. and that cloud will bring some rain over the weekend,

but it will be milder air that's heading our way. now, we're replacing that pool of cold air that we've had over the past few days, with south—westerly winds coming in from the atlantic, lifting the temperatures but bringing cloud and some outbreaks of rain and some stronger winds overnight to northern ireland and then pushing eastwards across scotland. some of the cloud will arrive in the north and west of england and wales — clearer skies in the south—east. temperatures could be as low as 4 or 5 in some rural areas, but it's certainly not as cold as it was last night. and, by morning, temperatures in scotland and northern ireland could be in double figures. maybe a little early rain, but we should see a little sunshine breaking through the cloud for a while ahead of the next band of rain that arrives into the north—west during the afternoon. england and wales is looking dry, some clouds, some sunshine. it's not as windy here. and for all of us, temperatures are going to be higher on saturday — 17 or 18, scotland and northern ireland, for eastern parts of england, 19 maybe even 20 celsius. here we've got high pressure dominating, keeping it dry.

but there is that weather front bringing the rain into the north—west that will slip slowly southwards into england and wales on sunday. this is where we've got the cloud and patchy rain to begin with. that should move away from northern england. it may get a bit wetter in wales, some pockets of rain into the midlands and south—west, but further north the showers in northern scotland will move away. we'll get more sunshine and it's not going to be as windy. similar sort of temperatures though on sunday, peaking at 20 in the south—east of england. here it should stay dry until the end of the day, and high pressure is going to be dominant into next week, pushing away all those weather fronts, the rain areas and the stronger winds to the north—west of the uk. so, not too windy away from southern england where we'll have a stronger easterly wind, some mist and fog patches, not particularly cold at night, and it will be feeling a little bit warmer in the sunshine during the day.
