Hello and welcome to NewsHour. It's coming to you live from the BBC World Service Studios in central London. I'm Tim Franks.

Coming up, we'll be looking at ahead to what Donald Trump calls Liberation Day, what many others regard as a rather more uncertain ripping up of the world economic order.

The possibility of blanket tariffs on imports to the United States on Wednesday.

More on that in 30 minutes.

First, if you were listening to the program yesterday,

you might have heard a very stirring, very sad interview with the senior curator

from Sudan's National Museum, weeping

over the ransacking of that great repository of thousands of years of irreplaceable culture by

the retreating forces of the paramilitary RSF. They'd just been routed from the capital Khartoum,

which they'd seized from the National Army early in the two-year-old civil war.

That conflict which sprang out of a power struggle between the army and the RSF is not over, and it's been utterly ruinous for the country.

Our Africa correspondent Barbara Plet Usher and her team travelled with Sudan's army into Khartoum,

the first British media organisation to visit the city since the military retook control.

We're going over the bridge now into central Khartoum, just days after the army recaptured the

city from the rapid support forces.

We'll be driving straight to the presidential palace,

which the RSF occupied for nearly two years.

The palace is damaged and dirty.

There's dust everywhere, debris on the floors, holes in the ceiling, holes in the wall, broken glass.

Looted, even the electric cables have been pulled out of the walls, although still some of the chandeliers are hanging from the ceiling.

My name is Aladdin, Abadam Soleiman. Our battalion came from outside Khartoum, yeah, to defend our country.

So this is the red carpet. We're walking into the palace.
