Crisis in Sudan continues
The Sudanese opposition calls for civil disobedience after three leaders are arrested.
The Sudanese opposition has called for a nationwide campaign of disobedience until a civilian government is installed. More than a hundred people are believed to have been killed by the security forces when they broke up a pro-democracy camp in Khartoum. Early on Saturday, three opposition figures were detained after meeting the Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, who's been trying to mediate between the army and the protesters.
Also on the programme, tens of thousands of people are preparing to take to the streets in Hong Kong, to oppose a proposed extradition law which critics fear could allow the Chinese authorities to target political enemies in the territory. And also should women be compelled to wear high heels at work?
