Download Armed groups launch co-ordinated attacks across Mali
Militant groups in Mali have launched a wave of coordinated attacks across the country. The ruling junta says they've been repulsed and has urged people to stay calm. We hear from a former US ambassador to Mali.
Also on the programme: how five schoolchildren stepped in to stop a runaway school bus in Mississippi after the driver had an asthma attack; and English football honours its first overseas football star.
