If you missed what happened yesterday, or overnight, here's our wrap from this morning.

The top lines are:

  • Protesters against Sudan's military coup remained defiant on the streets on Tuesday.
  • Officials from the office of the country's top general, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, said he would hold a news conference at around 11:00 GMT.
  • Reuters reported that life was mainly at a standstill in the capital Khartoum, where shops and services are closed and some roads are still blocked by the army after a mostly quiet night.
  • International condemnation of the country's security forces has continued, as the United States said it was suspending $700m in aid.
  • The UN demanded Hamdok's "immediate release," while diplomats in New York told AFP the Security Council was expected to meet to discuss the crisis on Tuesday.
