Haiti begins process to choose new PM

Washington says it expects a transitional council to be appointed in violence-hit Haiti shortly, following the resignation of the prime minister.

Haiti is beginning the process of choosing a new prime minister - after criminal gangs forced the last one to stand down; we hear from a veteran observer of the country's politics about whether a new figurehead could make a difference to the violence sweeping across the country.

We have two stories about Russia - the opposition activist living in exile who was attacked, and the pressure on people in occupied parts of Ukraine to vote in the upcoming Russian elections.

And the number of under fives dying across the world is in decline. We'll hear about where progress has been made - and what still needs to be done.
