Uganda: Ebola outbreak over

The Ebola outbreak in Uganda has been declared over.

An epidemic of the Sudan strain of the Ebola virus broke out in Uganda in September. No new cases have been discovered for 42 days, and the outbreak has been declared over. We speak to our reporter and hear from Ebola survivors in Mubende district, where the outbreak began.

We continue to check in on the situation in Brazil, as judicial authorities order the arrest of top public officials, after rioters stormed key government buildings. We also explore the role of the yellow Brazilian football jersey and how it has become a target for political movements.

We talk to a journalist behind a new podcast about British schoolgirl Shamima Begum who fled for war-torn Syria and has been stripped of British citizenship as a national risk.

We hear from Indians who have been celebrating after a Telugu language film, RRR, won a Golden Globe award, a first for the country.
