BBC World Service - Newshour, Sudan fighting continues despite ceasefire

Fighting has continued in Sudan after a ceasefire was supposed to come into force.

Fighting is continuing in parts of Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, despite a 24-hour ceasefire that was due to start at 1800 local time.

Despite Sudan’s two rival generals agreeing to a humanitarian pause to allow civilians to get medical help and supplies, fighting has continued in the Sudanese capital. We speak to a humanitarian worker in Khartoum.

Also on the programme: Newshour speaks to the wife of Russian opposition figure Vladimir Kara-Murza a day after he was sentenced to 25 years in jail for treason by a Russian court; and more than half a century after the contraceptive pill was first approved in the US, scientists are finally making headway with a male equivalent.
