A major development in Sudan's brutal civil war

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

There's been a major development in a brutal civil war - that's already created the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe. As the Sudanese government loses control of the key city of el-Fasher, survivors have spoken of executions and massacres. We speak to Annelise Dodds who was - until February - the minister responsible for aid, and is now calling for the government to take action. Also on the programme: Hurricane Melissa has slammed into Jamaica with winds of more than 185 miles an hour - the most powerful storm anywhere in the world this year. And the actor Simon Callow on Prunella Scales, who's died at the age of 93.
