Tourists Target Of Thai Bomb Attack
Thai Bomb; Ebola Crisis; South Sudan
The authorities in Thailand say the perpetrators of a bomb attack at a busy road junction in central Bangkok deliberately targeted foreigners to harm tourism and the economy. We hear from a couple of eyewitnesses who were there when the bomb exploded.
For the first time since the Ebola outbreak was declared in Sierra Leone, the country has recorded zero new infections. We hear from the World Health Organisation on the significance of no new cases there.
And what now for South Sudan after President Salva Kiir refused to sign a peace deal aimed at ending the civil war there?
