Hello, Greg Jenner here, host of Your Dead To Me.
In my new family-friendly podcast series, Dead Funny History,
historical figures come back to life for just about long enough to argue with me,
tell us their life stories, and sometimes get on my nerves.
There's 15 lovely episodes to unwrap, including the life of Ramesses the Great,
Josephine Baker, and the history of football, plus much, much more.
So this Christmas, give your ears a treat with Dead Funny History.
You can find it in the Your Dead To Me feed on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
We're coming to Live from London.
We begin this hour in El Fasha, a city in western Sudan besieged for more than 18 months,
which finally fell in October when the Sudanese armed forces withdrew.
What followed after the rival rapid support forces the RSF took control is contested.
The testimony of those who escaped described systematic massacre of the previously besieged civilians.
The RSF says it's investigating,
but some cooperation of violence exists already in videos posted on social media,
in some cases by those boasting of and showing the atrocities they committed.
Today, after weeks of detailed observation,
the Humanitarian Research Lab at the Yale School of Public Health in the United States has published what it concludes is evidence likely to show that tens of thousands of people were killed and their bodies disposed of by burning and in mass graves.
