Hello and welcome to NewsHour for the BBC World Service.
We're coming to you live from London.
I'm James Menendez.
And coming up later in the programme, we 'll be getting the latest on the war in Iran,
including a report from our chief correspondent,
Lise Doucette, who is in Tehran, and she 's been speaking to people there.
Just moved back one year ago.
I lived in Berlin for 16 years.
And I just moved back because I love Iran.
And I thought, if I'm not here now, when should I be here?
More from Lise and those she's been speaking to in the Iranian capital in about half an hour.
But we are going to start today in Sudan and a new report into the involvement of foreign forces
in the country's long running civil war.
