Soldiers deployed to Haiti's airport

We hear from people living in Haiti after violence broke out over the weekend. Soldiers have now been deployed to defend the airport of the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, from an assault by armed gangs. We get the latest from our correspondent.

We head to Paris, where a court is hearing a defamation lawsuit against the veteran film direction Roman Polanski. He's accused of child sexual abuse, which he denies.

We get the latest from our correspondent on what's going on in Ghana almost a week after MPs had passed a new bill which would jail anyone for three years if they're found guilty of identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. It's been delayed with President Nana Akufo-Addo saying he won't give assent to the bill until the supreme court rules on its constitutionality.

And we continue our conversations in Nigeria on the economic crisis. With inflation at 30 per cent - we speak to influencers who are trying to help people deal with the crisis.
