 43 children among 79 civilians killed in paramilitary RSF drone attack in Sudan's South Kordofan At least 79 civilians, including 43 children, were killed and 38 others injured in a drone strike carried out by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in South Kordofan, Sudanese authorities said, TRT Afrika reported. In a statement, the South Kordofan state government said four women were among the victims in Thursday’s attack on the city of Kalogi in western Sudan. It said the drone fired four missiles into a kindergarten, a hospital and densely populated residential areas, describing the incident as a "heinous crime" committed by the RSF-allied Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N).

 Sesame Street unveils trailer for reimagined 56th season on Netflix 

Netflix has released the first trailer for the reimagined 56th season of Sesame Street, marking the iconic children’s show’s debut on the streaming platform after its departure from HBO Max. The new season premieres Nov. 10, exactly 56 years after the program first aired on PBS in 1969, and will stream globally in over 30 languages. In the United States, episodes will also air simultaneously on PBS stations, the PBS Kids Channel, and PBS Kids digital platforms.

This season introduces major changes to the show’s format. Episodes are now 11 minutes long, up from nine minutes in previous seasons, allowing for expanded storytelling and a musical element in each episode. The series has moved away from its traditional magazine-style format to more narrative-driven content. Executive producer Sal Perez said the season “invites children into the action and brings them hand-in-hand through high-stakes stories, powerful learning moments, and laugh-out-loud surprises,” with a focus on teaching kindness and compassion.

New segments include Cookie Monster’s Cookie Cart and Abby’s Fairy Garden, while classics such as Elmo’s World and Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck return. Episodes will also feature moments where characters speak directly to viewers. Halcyon Person, an Emmy, Humanitas, and NAACP Award nominee, joins as head writer and co-executive producer. Episodes will be released in three volumes on Netflix, with four episodes per volume. Guest stars include NASCAR champion Bubba Wallace and upcoming appearances by Miley Cyrus.

The move to Netflix follows Warner Bros. Discovery’s decision not to renew the show’s contract with HBO Max, where Sesame Street had streamed since 2020 after moving to HBO in 2016. Produced by the nonprofit Sesame Workshop, the show has earned more than 200 Emmy Awards, three Peabody Awards, and a Kennedy Center Honor, reaching families in over 150 countries. Netflix will also develop video games based on Sesame Street and Sesame Street Mecha Builders, and stream 90 hours of past episodes.
