The UN says 60,000 people have now fled the Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) rebel takeover of el-Fasher in the Darfur region of Sudan, with many recounting stories of horrendous atrocities. There have been reports of mass executions and crimes against humanity as the RSF rebels stormed the city after 18 months of siege. We speak to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Verify and aid workers. The Chinese president, Xi Jinping, has taken centre stage at the Asia-Pacific summit in South Korea in the absence of Donald Trump. Our reporter from Global China Unit has the latest. After protests by ultra-Orthodox Jews against proposed changes to Israel’s legal exemption for religious students from military conscription, we hear from three Orthodox Jews with more nuanced views. King Charles's brother, Andrew, has lost his right to be called prince due to his links to the convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. He denies any wrongdoing. We speak to royal commentators from Commonwealth countries. Presenter: Rahul Tandon.
