Global News Podcast · BBC team reaches Khartoum and finds overwhelming destruction · 2 Apr 2025 podcast

Around 150,000 are estimated to have been killed and millions of people have become refugees. In the last few days, Sudan's military recaptured the capital city, Khartoum, for the first time since early in the war. Many of those who stayed have been celebrating the end of RSF occupation, but the core of the city is in ruins.

A BBC team is one of the first media organisations to enter the city since it changed hands. Our Africa correspondent Barbara Pleidasha and her team travelled with Sudan's army to the city.

Barbara is still in the city. I managed to contact her and asked her how much of a turning point the taking of Khartoum is for the conflict.

And Barbara, we heard in your piece concerns from one woman about what kind of a nation emerges from the civil war when it ends. What's your assessment of that?

Barbara Pledasche in Khartoum. A month after Israel imposed a total blockade on goods and electricity in Gaza, food supplies have been running dangerously low. Now the UN's World Food Programme says it's having to shut down all of its bakeries in Gaza because of a shortage of flour and diesel. I asked our Middle East regional editor Mike Thompson how significant is this?

Now, Mike, in another development, there's news from another branch of the UN, UNICEF, the Children's Fund, about the impact the collapse of the ceasefire has had on children particularly.

Our Middle East regional editor, Mike Thompson. Next to Myanmar. Three key armed rebel groups in the country have announced a unilateral ceasefire for a month following last week's earthquake. Known as the Three Brotherhood Alliance, they said they wanted to facilitate the most effective relief effort.

Myanmar's military government has continued to attack militant groups, even while coordinating the response to last Friday's earthquake. Correspondents from the BBC's Burmese service have continued to speak to people inside Myanmar. Their colleague So Win Tan pulled together this compilation of their reports.

That report by Sir Wyn Tan of the BBC's Burmese service. Our correspondent Rebecca Henschke, who covered the region for many years, tell me more about the rescue effort.

And this may be because the military is stretched elsewhere and is continuing to attack rebels.

A number of rebel groups have said that we're going to observe a ceasefire. What pressure will that put on the authorities to do likewise?

In places like Mandalay, a very large city, over a million people living there, these are the kind of places that need vast amounts of military aid. Quite frankly, is it there?

Now, what could be, in the words of one major US news website, the most aggressive overhaul of the global economic system in decades? The US President Donald Trump has been signalling for a while that he wants Wednesday, April 2nd, to be what he calls Liberation Day. It is then that President Trump is expected to announce sweeping tariffs affecting trillions of dollars of US imports.

This is how the White House Press Secretary, Caroline Leavitt, previewed things.

Now, exactly what form the tariffs will take at the moment, we don't know. President Trump will reveal more on Wednesday afternoon, Washington time. Tim Frank spoke to Ernie Tedeschi, director of economics at the Budget Lab at Yale University and a former chief economist at the White House Council of Economic Advisers under the Biden administration.

So, a lot of uncertainty regarding the forthcoming tariffs?

Ernie Tedeschi, Director of Economics at the Budget Lab at Yale University. The Trump administration has admitted making a mistake after deporting an immigrant with protected status. It has described the deportation as an administrative error. Quilmar Armando Obrego Garcia was among more than 200 suspected gang members who were deported to El Salvador in March.

Our Central America correspondent Will Grant has more.

Still to come.
