Gambia's parliament is considering a bill, to reverse a ban on Female Genital Mutilation. If passed, Gambia will be the first country in the world to do this. Some Gambians say the ban violates their rights to practice their culture, others disagree. We'll hear from two women who share different views.

Also the airspace dispute between Somalia and Somaliland continues. What's behind it?

And a conference in Liberia encouraging young people to talk about issues that affect them.
