Rio: US Apology for Swimmers' Behaviour

US Olympic Committee apologies; Baby born on a plane; The UN and Haiti's cholera outbreak

The US Olympic Committee has apologised to the people of Brazil for what it described as the unacceptable behaviour of the swimmers who said they had been robbed at gunpoint in Rio.

A baby girl was born five weeks early on a flight from Dubai to Manila. We'll hear from a passenger on board.

Reports suggest the United Nations has for the first time admitted its role in the introduction of cholera to Haiti some six years ago. The outbreak killed thousands of people.
