Women's World Cup 2019 begins

We are focussing on Women’s Football World Cup as the tournament in France kicks off later tonight with the hosts facing South Korea. With about a million tickets sold, we’ll have a conversation about the growing audiences in women’s games but also about the gender gap in football. We bring together players, fans and journalists from across the world to discuss.

People in the north-east of South Africa have been told to be careful and on the look out as the authorities search for 14 lions which are believed to have escaped from the Kruger National Park.

And we go to Nigeria where the government has shut down the country's first private television station, Africa Independent Television and its sister radio station, Ray Power.
