Doctors linked to the Sudanese opposition say bodies are still being discovered after an operation to crush pro-democracy protests.

Doctors linked to the Sudanese opposition say bodies are still being discovered after an operation to crush pro-democracy protests earlier this week. The head of the military council has apologised for the loss of life and offered to resume negotiations – but will the protestors believe him? We’ll also hear from a leading British diplomat on what action the international community should take.

Also in the programme: ceremonies to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D Day are taking place; and the humanitarian impact of climate change in Madagascar.
