The US and Britain have threatened Sudan with sanctions and other punitive measures unless it agrees to accept a robust UN peacekeeping force in Darfur.

George Bush, the US president warned Sudan’s president on Wednesday he had one last chance to avoid sanctions by agreeing to the deployment of a full joint UN-African Union force.

In London, Tony Blair, the British prime minister, said talks would begin on Thursday on a new UN Security Council resolution to try to end violence in Darfur.
