Escaping Sudan

We hear how people are being smuggled from Sudan into the neigbouring Egypt.

Since fighting broke out last April between Sudanese government forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, thousands of Sudanese have attempted to leave the country. Many try to flee north into Egypt, where the authorities have tried to stem the flow by imposing visa restrictions but this only forces the desperate into the arms of people smugglers. We speak to the BBC's Mohammed Osman, who has been investigating.

We find out what is “Cushing’s syndrome” after the US actress and director Amy Schumer revealed her puffier face was caused by the condition. We also hear from others with similar experiences.

The US actor Sylvester Stallone has said actors shouldn't do their own stunts. We bring together two people to share what it is like to be a stunt performer.

The International Court of Justice in the Hague has been holding its final day of hearings into the legal consequences of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. Our correspondent explains.

Presenter: Luke Jones.
