Sudan rocked by fighting

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The UN has called for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan - where two generals are battling for power. We hear from one civilian caught in the middle of the fighting, and from Africa Minister Andrew Mitchell. The world's oldest vehicle suspension bridge - linking Scotland and England over the River Tweed - has been re-opened after a massive overhaul. We speak to one of the engineers. And a Quiche fit for a King? We get a verdict on the official 'Coronation Quiche' from the nation's taster-in-chief.
