Tension in Niger

Niger faces military action if the coup leaders don’t allow the former President back in power.

Also on the programme: why has Tunisia sacked their first ever female Prime Minister? And we profile the Jamaican women’s football team, also known as the Reggae Girlz.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more is Shruti Kapila, a professor of history and politics at Cambridge University, who specialises in modern and contemporary India in a BBC studio in Cambridge, and Seyi Rhodes, a British TV reporter, film producer and investigative journalist in the studio.
