The past several weeks have seen a surge in street protests across Sudan. The economic picture there is pretty bleak. With inflation calculated by independent analysts as running at 130 percent or more, people are dying for lack of basic medicines and food as basic as bread is intolerably expensive.

Dr Willow Berridge at Newcastle University tells us about the population's grievances.

Plus Peter Jankovskis of Oakbrook Investments on the day's trading on Wall Street.
