Are Kenyan musicians getting enough royalties?

Rapper Khaligraph Jones says musicians are paid 'peanuts for royalties'.

The hashtag #MCSK is trending in Kenya after rapper Khaligraph Jones complained about the royalties he had received from the Music Copyright Society of Kenya. He said he had only been paid $25 by MCSK, describing the amount as “peanuts”. Many other musicians in Kenya have agreed with him, saying they also feel underpaid. We speak to Khaligraph Jones and hear from music fans around the country.

Also, a new report on the death of the footballer Emiliano Sala, who died in a plane crash over the English Channel, says he and the pilot had been exposed to high levels of carbon monoxide. We get more details from our BBC reporter.

And we speak to our correspondent in Islamabad about Pakistan's prime minister saying that global powers would be responsible if war broke out with India over disputed Kashmir, because they failed to implement UN resolutions on its status.
