Syriza Hails Greek Election Victory

Greek elections; Pope in Cuba; Ethiopia's new rail network

The left-wing Syriza party, led by Alexis Tsipras, has been returned to power in Greece, following elections on Sunday.

Pope Francis has celebrated an open air mass in Havana’s famous Revolution Square. In his address, the Pope urged Cubans to serve one another, rather than ideology.

A new light railway launches in the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa. It is the first fully electrified train service in Sub-Saharan Africa, costing $470 million – will it be worth it?
