BBC World Service - BBC OS, Sudan protests: Khartoum in lockdown

Security forces are deployed across the capital after at least 30 fatal shootings

Security forces are deployed across the capital after reportedly shooting at least 30 people dead.

After security forces reportedly shot 30 people dead whilst breaking up a sit-in protest, the capital Khartoum is in lockdown. Large numbers of forces are deployed across the city. In a televised address the head of the Transitional Military Council, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, said all agreements with the civilian opposition were being scrapped. We'll get the latest on the situation there and speak to people affected by the violence.

Also, in India's capital Delhi the government is making metro travel free for women with the aim of making it safer for female travellers. Indian women tell us if they think it will work.

And the newest hit series on TV is HBO's Chernobyl. It's about the nuclear disaster that happened in Ukraine in 1986. We'll speak to some people who actually lived through those events.
