BBC World Service - Weekend, Sudan ceasefire talks in Saudi Arabia

Envoys from Sudan’s rival factions travel to Saudi Arabia for peace negotiations

Envoys from Sudan’s rival factions travel to Saudi Arabia for peace negotiations.

Envoys from Sudan’s rival factions, the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, travel to Jeddah for peace negotiations. We hear from the BBC’s Lyse Doucet, who has just returned from a trip to Saudi Arabia.

Also on the programme: President Erdogan holds a huge rally in Istanbul ahead of the Turkish election. But with the country in dire economic straits, could the Erdogan era be coming to an end? And as Taylor Swift is rumoured to have a new boyfriend, we explore the world’s strange obsession with the American singer’s personal life. 

Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss all this and more are historian and writer Helene von Bismarck and Misha Glenny, a journalist, author and the rector of the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna.
