Logistics, but it doesnt matter, anyone who has a british passport and their immediate family should get to that airbase and they will be taken. a couple of interesting lines from the british high commissioner explaining and defending the operation thus far. as for those people that have arrived here so far, before they were transferred to the uk, weve had that one flight leave here and land in the uk and before it left, we managed to hear from some of the people who have made the journey from k...

That airbase in khartoum is going to be really, really restrictive, frankly impossible if the ceasefire breaks down completely but even with the ceasefire still in place, matthew, there are practical things like petrol which is running really, really low. if you are relying on a coach or a lift from someone you know to try and navigate through the checkpoint, to try to get to that airbase and fuel is running out or ticket prices are high, practical considerations like that. also considerations l...

To the runway could potentially lead to the runway could potentially lead to delays and certainly question marks over that number of flights arriving here. ishould marks over that number of flights arriving here. i should explain why they would be arriving here at all. the uk rescue operation out of khartoum, out of sudan, isnt involving military flights flying directly to the uk, they are coming here first. this is effectively a hub so they take off from that airbase just north of khartoum, the...

Flights carrying british nationals from sudan have landed in cyprus. more planes are expected to arrive later today, as the military attempts to get hundreds of people out of the war—torn country during a 72—hour ceasefire. the initial advice for uk nationals to remain in sudan changed yesterday when they were told to make their own way to an airbase on the outskirts of the capital, khartoum. raf planes have been making their way from khartoum to larnaca in cyprus. around 40 people were on t...

So its nice to be in a country where you can just look around and theres no smoke, no blasts. how do you think the british have handled evacuation so far? i think they handled it well. i would have preferred it to be faster, but i think it was organised well. like going to the airbase, i wish we had a bit more support. there will be more flights out of sudan and more flights back here to britain. but there are hundreds and hundreds more that need to be brought back to safety. they have left the ...

Khartoum could slow things down we are told the weights and slippages are told the weights and slippages are likely to be because of general logistics. we know hundreds of people with uk passports have come through but the problem is, thousands of people registered their interests with the uk authorities to try and make this journey. there been questions about the relatively low numbers and potentially questions also about the delays because other countries started their evacuation operations a ...

It ahead of the uk and there will be some questions asked about that timing. this all depends now on how many more people are willing to take that risk, take thatjourney unescorted, the french taking a different decision and going to help people around khartoum get to that airbase, with people under a ceasefire right now, but how many more will risk thatjourney ceasefire right now, but how many more will risk that journey and ceasefire right now, but how many more will risk thatjourney and what ...

Who brought them out but with concerns about the delay and the dangers they faced. ahmed fled with his sister and their mum. its nice to be in a safe country, right? you know, in sudan, theres constant gunshots and you can hear explosions, even in like cease fires. so its nice to be in a country where you can just look around and theres no smoke, theres no blasts. how do you think the british have handled the evacuation so far? i think they handled it well. i would have preferred it to be faster...
