The circumstances of the apparent massacre remain unclear

The circumstances of the apparent massacre remain unclear.

At least 150 people are feared dead in a massacre in a village in central Sudan blamed on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the paramilitary group fighting the army. Our correspondent has the latest. We also talk about warnings of hunger in Sudan as the World Food Programme expands its emergency and nutrition assistance. 

A 59-year-old man in Mexico has died with a type of bird flu - H5N2 - never recorded in people before now. We speak to an infectious diseases expert. 

English Premier League football clubs have voted overwhelmingly to retain the Video Assistant Referee - or V.A.R. Our sprorts reporter joins live with more details. 

The European Parliament elections get underway today, starting in Netherlands. We explain how the voting works and also bring a conversation with three young politicians - in Nepal, Argentina and Zambia - about their experiences of the often toxic world of politics.

Residents of a village in Myanmar have accused the army of killing at least fifty people. We speak to our correspondent who has been reporting on the story.
