Sudan landslide kills hundreds, UN says | BBC News

Published

on



A landslide has killed at least 370 people in the remote Marra Mountains in western Sudan, a UN official has said.

Antoine Gérard, the UN’s deputy humanitarian co-ordinator for Sudan, said that it was hard to assess the scale of the incident or the exact death toll as the area was very hard to reach.

Sudan Liberation Movement/Army, the armed group in control of the affected area, had earlier said that at least 1,000 people had died.

Days of heavy rain triggered the landslide on Sunday, which left just one survivor and “levelled” much of the village of Tarseen, the group said in a statement.

Three of the world’s leading AI companies are preparing to sell stock publicy for the first time. Elon Musk’s rocket company Space X – which owns xAI and its artificial intelligence chatbot Grok – is set to debut on the Nasdaq on Friday, targeting a share price that would value the company at $1.75 trillion.

The ChatGPT creator Open AI and Anthropic – the makers of Claude – have also filed for initial public offerings – sparking massive interest from Wall Street veterans and first-time investors alike.

Illegal mini-marts to shut for up to a year under law change | BBC News

Published

on



Illegal mini-marts, barbers and vape shops could be shut for up to a year under new powers announced by the UK government, following lengthy investigative reporting by BBC News into organised crime on British high streets.

The investigations have exposed drug gangs, child sexual exploitation, money laundering and immigration crime linked to shops selling illegal cigarettes, vapes and drugs.

As the law stands in England and Wales, authorities can only close a shop for three months, with an option to extend closure to six months using anti-social behaviour legislation. The government’s planned change will double the potential closure time.

Making the announcement, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood praised the BBC’s reporting, saying that people felt high streets were being taken over by “organised crime [and] immigration criminality”. The government was “not prepared to tolerate it”, she said.
