Bid to extend ceasefire in Sudan

BBC World Service - Newsday, Bid to extend ceasefire in Sudan

UN envoy to Sudan says he has asked warring parties to extend ceasefire agreement.

The United Nations envoy to Sudan says he is trying to organise a three-day extension to the current truce, which is due to expire on Thursday.

The United Nations envoy to Sudan, Volker Perthes, has confirmed to the BBC that he is trying to organise a three-day extension to the current US-brokered truce. The Sudanese army says it is open to discussing the plan with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). But the RSF have not immediately responded to the proposal.

The South Korean and the US presidents have vowed that any North Korean use of nuclear weapons will prompt an overwhelming joint response.

And Spain could experience its hottest ever day for the month of April this week, with forecasters predicting temperatures of up to 40C (104F).
