Sudan: Countries evacuate citizens
Countries have evacuated diplomats and citizens from Sudan as fighting continues.
Evacuations have been taking place as foreign nationals attempt to leave Khartoum, Sudan's capital. More than 1,000 EU citizens have been airlifted out, many on French and German rescue missions. The US has airlifted embassy staff out of Sudan by helicopter, but says it will not evacuate US citizens living in the country. We hear messages from people who have managed to escape.
We hear a conversation between three Ukrainian comedians, Oleksandr, Vasyl and Irena, on what it's like finding humour amid the invasion of their country by Russia.
A chance meeting on the beach in the UK led to a woman finding a kidney donor. We hear from both women about their serendipitous encounter.
