Boko Haram Violence Survivor Speaks Out

Nigeria Boko Haram; Migrants in Macedonia; Uganda cancer

Two years ago, militants of the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram kidnapped hundreds of school girls from the town of Chibok. More than two hundred girls are still missing, despite a worldwide campaign. Their case illustrates the plight of thousands of women enslaved by the insurgents. The BBC's Alastair Leithead travelled to the town of Yola to hear the story of one family torn apart when a young girl was taken.

We will also revisit the village of Idomeni at the border between Greece and Macedonia to gauge the tension there, after migrants were tear-gassed during last week-end.

And in Uganda, thousands of cancer patients have been left stranded after the country's main radiotherapy machine broke down beyond repair.
