Sudan army retakes presidential palace after two years of war

The Sudanese army says it has recaptured the presidential palace in the capital Khartoum from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) after almost two years of fighting. We hear from a citizen near Khartoum.

Also in the programme: We hear how a single fire, outside Heathrow, paralysed Europe's busiest airport for more than twelve hours; and the peaceful death of the Soviet spy, credited with having stopped a third world war.
