Saudi Arabia hosts Sudan peace talks

Representatives from Sudan’s warring factions, the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, are in Jeddah for ceasefire talks. But with both sides guilty of multiple ceasefire violations, what are the chances of a lasting truce?

Also on the programme: A gunman kills eight in a Texas mall, the second mass shooting in just over a week; and from K-Pop to kimchi, a new exhibition celebrates South Korean culture’s global conquest.

Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss all this and more are historian and writer Helene von Bismarck and Misha Glenny, a journalist, author and the rector of the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna.
