BBC World Service - Newshour, Sudan protesters take to the streets of Khartoum

Divisions between military and civilian leaders threatens a democratic transition

Supporters of Sudan's transitional government have turned out in Khartoum as rival protesters continue a sit-in to demand a military government. Deep divisions between military and civilian leaders are threatening to derail the transition to democracy. Tensions have grown since a coup attempt attributed to followers of president Bashir was foiled in September.

Also in the programme: the amount of plastic in the sea is on course to triple within twenty years, according to a new United Nations’ report; and a document leak reveals some nations lobbying to change a key climate report ahead of COP26.
