Uganda's LRA: Dominic Ongwen convicted of war crimes

The International Criminal Court in the Hague has found a former commander of the Uganda-based Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. We will use our BBC colleagues’ expertise to explain LRA and the crimes of Dominic Ongwen, and bring reaction from the region.

We continue to answer audience questions about the pandemic and will also ask our experts about the trial launched in the UK to see if giving people different Covid vaccines for first and second doses works as well as giving them the same one twice.

And we look at what’s been happening in the northern region of Tigray in Ethiopia since the armed conflict in November between the regional government and forces supporting Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. We reconnect with two Tigrayans in the US, who were desperately trying to reach their relatives during the conflict.
