BBC World Service - Weekend, Sudan fighting: No talks until bombing stops, Hemedti tells BBC

Gen Burhan has tentatively agreed to face-to-face talks in South Sudan.

The leader of the paramilitary force fighting Sudan's army has told the BBC he'll take part in peace talks if there's a pause in hostilities.

Also in the programme: Pope Francis begins the second of a three day visit to Hungary today (Saturday), the 41st pastoral journey of his papacy; the significance of Joe Biden standing for another term as US president; and Portugal's apology for its role in transatlantic slavery.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other stories are Nanjala Nyabola, a Kenyan Writer and political analysist, and Ivan Vejvoda, head of the Europe's Futures Programme at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna and a former foreign policy adviser to two Serbian prime ministers.
