Sierra Leone: Protests over cost of living

Violence has erupted in various parts of the country during protests.

Police in Sierra Leone say clashes at Wednesday's anti- government protests resulted in the death of six officers. Several protesters were also killed during the protests against the high cost of living, corruption and police brutality. We speak to local people about what happened.

We get some analysis on new satellite images of the explosions in Crimea earlier this week.

We find out about the urgent immunisation campaign in London, after the virus was detected in sewege samples.

A domestic violence charity in the UK has called on TikTok to remove one of the platform's growing stars - the former kickboxer Andrew Tate. The charity says his comments are “extremely misogynistic”. We speak to a tech reporter and hear from Andrew Tate's followers.
