Trump Promises To Punish Abortion Doctors

Trumps rows back on abortion; Libya's UN-backed PM arrives home defying local militias; Rats to sniff out TB in prisons in Tanzania and Mozambique

The Republican presidential hopeful in the United States, Donald Trump, has rowed back just hours after saying that women who have a termination should be punished if abortion is re-criminalised. Mr Trump now says the doctor should be held responsible.

Libya's United Nations-backed prime minister has arrived in the country in defiance of a blockade, but he's been ordered to leave by the rival authority that controls the capital. Bursts of gunfire can be heard in the city.

In a novel approach to fight against tuberculosis rats - which are already used to sniff out landmines - are now being trained to detect TB in crowded prisons in Tanzania and Mozambique.
