Africa's Music Archives: re-opened and remixed

African music; Japan lost boy; France floods

Hugh Tracey made 35,000 recordings of music across Africa, between the 1920's and 1970's. Now the archives are being opened up and interpreted by today's artists.

Japanese rescuers believe they have found the boy who went missing in remote woods last week after being left alone by his parents as a punishment.

One of the world's most visited museums, the Louvre, is closed on Friday amid worsening flooding in Paris, caused by days of torrential rain.
