Sudan army boycotts peace talks

Talks are underway on the conflict in Sudan despite the refusal of the army to take part.

The MSF medical charity says there's a risk that the last hospital in the Sudanese city of El Fasher will have to close because of intensive bombardment. Paramilitaries have been trying to capture the city for weeks. Meanwhile, talks aimed at securing a ceasefire in Sudan are underway in Geneva. We speak to Sudanese doctors about the situation on the ground.

We have the latest on the spread of a new strain of Mpox, and we explain what is "sloth fever".

As Ukraine's incursion into the Kursk region in western Russia continues, both sides are claiming the upper hand. We answer listeners' questions about the developments.

After a weather presenter in Australia had a panic attack live on air, we speak to people about their experiences of panic attacks.
