Mexico legalises abortion

Abortion has been legalised in Mexico by the Supreme Court. The judgement opens the door for the federal healthcare system to provide abortion services. It comes two years after the Court ruled in favour of a challenge to the existing law in one northern state, Coahuila - finding that criminal penalties for terminating a pregnancy were unconstitutional. Beatrice De-la-Pava from BBC Mundo explains more and we hear messages from people in the country for their thoughts on the change.

Africa's first ever climate summit took place in Kenya's capital Nairobi this week. More than a dozen African leaders and some of the world’s fiercest climate change campaigners are there discussing the continent's increasing exposure to climate change and its associated costs. We have a conversation with people whose job is to bring us the latest environment news, good or bad. Rosalia in Nairobi is the CEO of the Kenya Editors Guild and has been covering the environment since 2008. Nyima is the Editor and environmentalist at the Gambia's Voice newspaper in the capital Banjul.
