Battle of the Somme Commemoration

Battle of the Somme remembered; Myanmar's millionaires; UN Peacekeepers leave Liberia

It's the 100th Anniversary of one of the bloodiest battles in human history, we'll hear from a Canadian soldier at a vigil in Canada and the BBC's Allan Little remembering the horror of the conflict from France.

Meet one of Myanmar's 40 multi-millionaires hoping to use his wealth to develop the next generation of sailing superstars in one of Asia's poorest countries.

And Liberia takes control of its own security for the first time since the end of the civil war in 2003. Can the country cope?
