War-hit Sudan sliding into "famine"

Famine has spread to five areas with half the population in need of food

We'll look at Sudan where famine has spread to five areas, with 24.6 million people - about half the population - in urgent need of food aid.

We'll look at Nasa's Parker Solar Probe. It's hoping to make the closest ever approach to the Sun. It promises to revolutionize our understanding of the Sun.

We take a look at the Russian Ukrainian war over the past year and chat to our Kyiv correspondent James Waterhouse. We'll look at Russian advances in the east and what Ukraine hopes for from the west in the coming year.
