Zika Link to Paralysis?

Possible Zika virus link to Guillain-Barre syndrome; Migrants have clashed with police in port of Calais, France; Gambian president Yahyah Jammeh seeks a 5th term.

New research provides the first evidence that the Zika virus may cause Guillain-Barre syndrome - a serious illness that leads to the body's immune system attacking the nervous system.

Migrants have again clashed with riot police in the French port of Calais, as the authorities clear a camp used by people trying to reach Britain.

Gambian president Yahyah Jammeh is on his way to getting a fifth term in office. He came to power in a coup 21 years ago and human rights groups have accused his regime of disappearances, assassinations, extra-judicial killings and harassment of journalists and activists --claims the government has rejected.
