  • Government departments have recommended a pay rise of 2.8% for millions of public sector workers including teachers, NHS staff and senior civil servants next year. Unions responded by saying the proposed pay increase was too low, with one threatening strike action.

The article from BBC News discusses the ongoing conflict in Sudan, highlighting the dire humanitarian situation as the country approaches its first anniversary of the war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). It reports that over 14,000 people have died, and more than eight million have been displaced, making it one of the largest displacement crises globally. The conflict has led to widespread hunger, with nearly five million people at risk of famine, and has severely disrupted aid efforts due to bureaucratic hurdles and security issues. The article also touches on the international response, mentioning that the UN has appealed for $2.7 billion to address the crisis, but funding has been insufficient. Furthermore, it notes the failure of peace talks and the increasing involvement of foreign powers, which complicates the situation further. The piece ends with a call for more international attention and action to alleviate the suffering in Sudan.
