Today, hundreds of asylum seekers could be housed in two military sites in Inverness and East Sussex as the government seeks to end the use of hotels. Ministers are considering housing 900 men in the Cameron Barracks in Inverness and Crowborough army training camp in East Sussex. There are around 32,000 asylum seekers currently being housed in hotels. Adam and Chris discuss whether this will help with government’s pledge to end the use of asylum hotels by 2029. And, there are fears of mass killings as Sudan’s civil war appears to have reached a significant turning point. More than 150,000 people have died in the conflict across the country, and about 14 million have fled their homes. Adam is joined by chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet and Kholood Khair a Sudanese political analyst and director of Khartoum think tank Confluence Advisory.

  • Please welcome to Newscast at 6.27, so just after the six o'clock news, Chris Mason, MP.

  • The Honourable Gentleman, I think is what you should be calling me.

  • for political journalism.

  • That's what it's for.

  • Shall we just explain why you're actually not an MP?

  • Yes, no, I'm very much not.

  • I've learned, and you Adam was supposed to relate to this in 25 years in this game,

  • that there is always new ways in which you can make a complete shambles of attempting to be a broadcast journalist.

  • And today, somehow, I've no idea how this happened.

  • The little captions that pop up at the bottom of the screen to explain who someone is.

  • The one that came up for me said, Chris Mason MP.

  • And it is very funny.

  • I've just been sent a screen grab of it.

  • Oh dear.

  • Do you know in the trade they're called Aston's.

  • Because the original machine that used to put the captions on the screen was called an Aston machine.

  • Is that right?

  • I was well trained by a previous boss to always make sure that captions are in the right format.

  • And so obviously that training has not been extended to everyone.

  • Well, human errors and all that, but I must admit, my eyes did roll.
