There was a snarl of cars when we arrived. We could hear chanting. Someone was waving a rebel flag. Overnight news that Damascus had fallen and Syria's president had fled spurred Syrians in Lebanon to rush to Masnaa, the border crossing closest to their capital. We'd been planning to spend a day reporting from there, but packed a small overnight bag when we heard the Syrians had abandoned their side. Maybe we would be able to get to Damascus ourselves.

Sudan is at breaking point. After 17 months of a brutal civil war which has devastated the country, the army has launched a major offensive in the capital Khartoum, targeting areas in the hands of its bitter rival, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The RSF seized most of Khartoum at the start of the conflict, while the army controls the twin city of Omdurman, just across the River Nile.

Parents have been waiting anxiously to find out if their missing children are still alive after a boarding school in central Kenya caught fire. Seventeen pupils were confirmed dead by the Ministry of Education on Friday morning, while the deputy president said 70 children were unaccounted for, so the death toll could not be verified. It is thought some of these children may have run into the local community to escape the fire, or were picked up by their parents without the school knowing.
