You’ve probably heard about Sudan in the news recently because of the fighting that’s broken out in the country’s capital, Khartoum. BBC journalist Beverly Ochieng, who is in nearby Kenya, breaks down what’s going on and why.

Also, the former professional basketball player and Love Islander Ovie Soko joins us live and in the flesh to talk about the sport, which has been getting more popular among us Brits. Ovie explains why he went on Love Island and reveals what he’s up to now that he has retired.

And earlier this year, University of Manchester students walked out of a seminar, claiming the French department had a culture of institutional racism and white supremacy. Having met the students, De-Graft and his producer Kamilah explain the events that led to their walk out and how the University has responded.
