UK discusses new immigration rules
The UK debates a bill which will have an impact on the lives and actions of Africans hoping to come to the UK and even some who are already living in the country.
The UK discusses new migration rules likely to impact thousands of asylum seekers. The BBC's Daniel Henry travels to the French town of Calais, where many migrants are stuck in appalling conditions.
Also in the programme: We discuss with three people from different parts of the continent what the recent acquisition of Twitter by one of the world's richest persons means to them; A Nigerian charity alleges 'hundreds' of illegal oil refineries are still operating in the country; We find out why a judge in Botswana has refused to allow an elderly Bushman's body to be buried on his ancestral land in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve; 28 years since the genocide took place, forgiveness and reconciliation begin to bloom among Rwandan families. And Ghanaian Highlife music artist Kwabena Kwabena talks about his new album and his focus on mental health.
