A huge gas explosion has rocked a residential suburb of the Kenyan capital Nairobi, killing several people and injuring hundreds. We hear from a survivor.

Also in the programme: a state of emergency is declared in the Spanish region of Catalonia as it faces its worst drought on record; and the actor Paterson Joseph tell us about the extraordinary life of Charles Ignatius Sancho, the first black person to vote in Britain, as Sancho's portrait goes on display at London's Royal Academy of Arts.
