South Africa: Authorities charge seven over gang rape

Seven men have been charged with 32 counts of rape after an assault at an abandoned mine.

South African authorities have charged seven men with 32 counts of rape after a mass assault at an abandoned mine near Johannesburg. A group of eight women were attacked while filming a music video at the mine near the town of Krugersdorp last month. We'll speak our correspondent there to hear the latest.

One of the worst droughts in the world is occurring in East Africa. There hasn't been enough rain there for four seasons, meaning that crops can't grow properly, people can't feed their livestock, and food prices are extremely high. Two men in Kenya talk about the impact in their country.

Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky says that the war in Ukraine began with Crimea and must end with its liberation. We discuss the importance of Russian-occupied Crimea with our correspondent.
