We report from Detroit where the the funeral for the "Queen of Soul," who died August 16 at the age of 76 after a battle with pancreatic cancer, will take place.
Also we continue to follow developments in Uganda where musician-turned-politician Bobi Wine, who faces treason charges, has been pictured lying on a hospital bed in a government-run facility.
And we go to the Philippines, where President Duterte has been condemned by women's rights groups after he referred to the number of rapes in his home city of Davao, saying that "if there are a lot of pretty women, there will be a lot of rape".
