Sudan army drones hit mourners and fuel market killing more than 200 people, sources say.

More civilians have been killed in the latest drone attacks by the warring parties in Sudan, with rights groups detailing more than 200 deaths in the last three days. Our correspondents explain.

Images of Kim Jong Un have emerged on state media in North Korea, hours after unverified claims that the country's leader had been taken to a hospital in Beijing in a coma and had died. We hear more it.

And earlier this month, a man was killed after a bear broke into his in Mongolia - and last week, one was sprung browsing library stacks in California. We speak to three people in different parts of the world what it is like to come face-to-face with a bear.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
