Sudan: Two years of civil war

Today marks two years since the start of the devastating civil war in Sudan, with fierce fighting continuing and a growing humanitarian crisis. The European Union and Britain have announced they've increased aid to Sudan at a conference in London today. We hear from people in Sudan about their lives two years into the war and speak to the BBC reporter behind a months long investigation into the conditions in the country.

We speak to BBC journalists from France and Turkey about two crime stories they are covering today. The French authorities say several prisons have been targeted during the night in what appears to be coordinated attacks, whilst the Turkish interior minister says simultaneous raids have been carried out against organised crime groups in Turkey, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Spain.

On OS over the last few weeks we've been speaking about colourism - a form of discrimination that favours light-skinned members of the same ethnic group. Today we speak to black women about their experiences of this issue.
