'Ethiopians are one shock away from catastrophe'
In a stark warning, the head of the UN's food aid agency in Ethiopia said millions in the country are "one shock away from falling into a catastrophe".
Zlatan Milišić's statement came as he announced that because of a lack of funding the World Food Programme was "being forced to halt treatment" for more than half a million malnourished women and children, starting from next month. How did Ethiopia get here?
Also, French President Emmanuel Macron brings new promises to cyclone-battered Mayotte. Is it enough?
And a prestigious award for Tunisian environmental campaigner, Semia Gharbi, who dared to challenge authorities over illegal waste dumping!
Presenter: Charles Gitonga
Technical Producer: Gabriel O'Regan
Producers: Blessing Aderogba in Lagos. Tom Kavanagh, Patricia Whitehorne and Yvette Twagiramariya in London.
Senior Journalist: Karnie Sharp
Editors: Alice Muthengi and Andre Lombard
