Hello and welcome to NewsHour.
It's coming to you live from the BBC World Service Studios in central London.
I'm Tim Franks.
Coming up, we'll be looking at a head to what Donald Trump calls Liberation Day,
what many others regard as a rather more uncertain ripping up of the world economic order,
the possibility of blanket tariffs on imports to the United States on Wednesday.
More on that in 30 minutes.
First, if you were listening to the program yesterday, you might have heard a very stirring,
very sad interview with the senior curator from Sudan's National Museum,
weeping over the ransacking of that great repository of thousands of years of irreplaceable culture by the retreating forces of the paramilitary RSF.
They'd just been routed from the capital Khartoum,
which they'd seized from the National Army early in the two-year-old civil war.
That conflict, which sprang out of a power struggle between the Army and the RSF,
is not over, and it's been utterly ruinous for the country.
Africa correspondent Barbara Platt Usher and her team travelled with Sudan's Army into Khartoum,
the first British media organisation to visit the city since the military retook control.
We're going over the bridge now into central Khartoum,
just days after the Army recaptured the city from the rapid support forces.
We'll be driving straight to the Presidential Palace, which the RSF occupied for nearly two years.
The palace is damaged and dirty.
