Sudan fighting: diplomats and foreign nationals evacuated

An increasing number of countries are evacuating their diplomats from Sudan, amid mounting criticism over a lack of plans to help other people who are stranded. Heavy fighting between the regular army and a powerful paramilitary force has seen hundreds killed and thousands injured.

As foreigners scramble to leave, the exodus leaves locals scared as there are fears the conflict could be entering a new and deadly phase.

Also Indian police arrest a Sikh separatist preacher Amritpal Singh more than a month after launching a massive search for him.
