America is changing and so is the world.
But what's happening in America isn't just the cause of global upheaval.
It's also a symptom of disruption that's happening everywhere.

Hello and welcome to News Hour from the BBC World Service.
We're coming to you live from London.
I'm James Menendez.
And we're going to begin today in Sudan with more evidence
if evidence were needed of the brutality of the civil war that's been raging in the country for the past two and a half years.
It is a war that pits two factions of the military government that seize power in 2021 against each other,
the army and its erstwhile paramilitary allies, the RSF, or Rapid Support Forces.
They emerge from the western region of Darfur and it's there that the fighting right now is most intense in and around the besieged city of El Fasha,
the army's last stronghold.
Today it was an attack from the air,
a drone strike on a mosque during morning prayers, killing more than 70 people.
Ibrahim Hatta is a doctor in El Fasha.
