The UK Foreign Secretary is urging British citizens in war-torn Sudan to make their way to the airfield "as soon as possible" as evacuation flights can no longer be guaranteed once the ceasefire expires.

James Cleverly said more than 530 people had been flown to safety on six flights as of 9pm on Wednesday.

Of those, 361 were UK citizens and the remaining 175 were of other nationalities, including dependents.

But Mr Cleverly said the UK "cannot guarantee" how many further flights will depart after the ceasefire ends on Thursday evening.

He urged UK citizens who wish to leave Sudan to make their way to the Wadi Saeedna air strip "as soon as possible".

On Sky News on Thursday morning, he said: "We cannot predict exactly when that ceasefire ends, but what we do know is that it will be much harder, potentially impossible [to run evacuation flights].

"So what we are saying to British nationals is if you're hesitant, if you're weighing up your options, our strong, strong advice is to go to Wadi Saeedna whilst the ceasefire is up and running.

"There are planes that have capacity. We will lift you out, and we are not able to make those same assurances once a ceasefire is ended."

Asked whether the UK may have to leave some of its citizens behind, Mr Cleverly said: "Well ... as a business it is really, really difficult to predict what might happen over the next couple of days.

"Now is the time to move because when this ceasefire ends, my ability to give the kind of limited assurance that I can give now might go and we might not be able to evacuate so please, please, please, get to the airfield today. You can come out. We have capacity, we have airframes."

Former British ambassador to Sudan, Dame Rosalind Marsden, told Sky News talks are ongoing to extend the halt in fighting.

“What we're looking at this morning is that this is an initiative by the local regional organisations to see if they can get the temporary truce extended by an another 72 hours that's been led by South Sudan," she said.

“The important thing there is to make sure that all the international actors and regional actors are co-ordinating together to be able to exert maximum pressure.”

Dame Marsden said the current ceasefire was "faltering". But moves were under way by the US to negotiate a permanent ceasefire.

“The current ceasefire is sort of faltering, but at least there's a lull in fighting, rather than advancing," she said.

"[There have] been calls in the UN Security Council yesterday, especially from the United States to set up a committee to try to negotiate a permanent ceasefire. But it's also important to make sure that the voices of civilian actors the pro-democracy, civilian leaders are also listened to."

Africa minister Andrew Mitchell said the evacuation mission was "going very smoothly" with "no great backlog, no great congestion" at the air strip.

But, he said, "we are absolutely in the hands of the ceasefire".

Mr Mitchell told Sky News: "We are doing everything we can to make sure it's prolonged and on the wider stage, too, trying to negotiate for a longer ceasefire, because if the combatants don't lay down their arms and return to barracks, there's going to be a humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan."

He said that "at the moment those safe and legal routes don't exist" for refugees from Sudan to claim asylum in the UK.

Only British passport holders and immediate family members with existing UK entry clearance are being told they are eligible to be flown out.

But Alicia Kearns, the Tory chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, said elderly people dependent on children who are British citizens should also be admitted.

She told the BBC: "In the same way we treat children who are dependent on their parents, we should respect that some elderly people are dependent on their children.

"It is important that we are bringing people out who would otherwise be left destitute and really vulnerable."

Should late investors consider cryptocurrencies?

Wealth managers recommend late investors to have a balanced portfolio that typically includes traditional assets such as cash, government and corporate bonds, equities, commodities and commercial property.

They do not usually recommend investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies due to the risk and volatility associated with them.

“It has produced eye-watering returns for some, whereas others have lost substantially as this has all depended purely on timing and when the buy-in was. If someone still has about 20 to 25 years until retirement, there isn’t any need to take such risks,” Rupert Connor of Abacus Financial Consultant says.

He adds that if a person is interested in owning a business or growing a property portfolio to increase their retirement income, this can be encouraged provided they keep in mind the overall risk profile of these assets.

How to come clean about financial infidelity
  • Be honest and transparent: It is always better to own up than be found out. Tell your partner everything they want to know. Show remorse. Inform them of the extent of the situation so they know what they are dealing with.
  • Work on yourself: Be honest with yourself and your partner and figure out why you did it. Don’t be ashamed to ask for professional help. 
  • Give it time: Like any breach of trust, it requires time to rebuild. So be consistent, communicate often and be patient with your partner and yourself.
  • Discuss your financial situation regularly: Ensure your spouse is involved in financial matters and decisions. Your ability to consistently follow through with what you say you are going to do when it comes to money can make all the difference in your partner’s willingness to trust you again.
  • Work on a plan to resolve the problem together: If there is a lot of debt, for example, create a budget and financial plan together and ensure your partner is fully informed, involved and supported.

  • To encourage refugees to integrate the government will encourage them to out of the core protection route wherever possible.
  • Under core protection there will be no automatic right to family reunion
  • Refugees will have a reduced right to public funds

Red flags
  • Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
  • Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
  • Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
  • Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
  • Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.
