Focus on Africa - Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast's rocky relationship
Download Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast's rocky relationship
Burkina Faso has allegedly withdrawn all its diplomats from Ivory Coast, worsening ties between the neighbours. The relationship has been rocky of late and earlier this year their ministers of defence held a meeting on the border, in a bid to bring about a "new start" in relations - but that meeting didn't seem to help. What's going on?
Also how important is it for African countries to have a permanant seat on the UN Security Council - and how will they be chosen?
And a story of hope in Malawi, after the country gets access to cancer treatment!
