The controversial American talk show host Jerry Springer has died aged 79

The controversial American talk show host Jerry Springer has died aged 79.

The legendary US talk show host, Jerry Springer, has died at the age of 79. He was known for his sometimes controversial programmes, especially "The Jerry Springer Show" which he hosted for nearly 30 years. We talk to the BBC's entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba.

The current ceasefire in Sudan has not stopped all the fighting but it has given some relief to civilians caught up in the violence in Khartoum and other areas. We hear more stories by those who have managed to flee and hear from a resident in Khartoum.

We look at what effect the war in Ukraine has had on the country's artistic and cultural world. Three Ukrainian musicians share their experiences.

Older people in employment have been reacting to Joe Biden’s second term bid. We speak to two people in their 70s who still work.

We take a look at the ethics of altering wedding photographs. 

Presenter: James Reynolds.
