New UN South Sudan chief pushes for renewed unified efforts

Former New Zealand politician David Shearer has given his first briefing to the United Nations Security Council in his new role as the head of the UN's South Sudan mission.

Shearer warned that there has been an intensification of the conflict over the last few months, and opposition groups and the government are planning upcoming offensives.

The former Labour MP took over the position earlier this year, and is tasked with helping the world's newest nation that has been embroiled in a three-year civil war.

The Security Council has considered an arms embargo on the country, but has so far been unable to agree whether it would help reduce the violence.

David Shearer said the humanitarian situation had deteriorated and the South Sudanese were struggling to survive.

Labour promises to guarantee rights of EU citizens on day one in power

Britain's opposition Labour party have promised to unilaterally guarantee the rights of EU nationals living in the UK should they win the upcoming general election in June.   

In Labour's first major policy statement of the campaign,  shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer said a Labour government would  scrap the Conservative government's Brexit plans and focus on a mutually beneficial deal prioritizing jobs and workers' rights. 

The Conservative party says  a deal on EU nationals can only be done at part of a reciprocal agreement to guarantee the rights of UK nationals living in the European Union.

Sir Keir said EU nationals would be assured they could stay in the UK on day one of a Labour government.
