Protests continue in Kenya

Police have fired tear gas at renewed Kenya protests.

Protests are again taking place in Kenyan cities, despite President Ruto's decision on Wednesday to scrap planned tax rises. We hear from protesters and speak to our regional experts.

The BBC has tracked down and confronted a people smuggle, responsible for organising a small-boat crossing to the UK in April in which a 7- year old girl died. Our Paris correspondent Andrew Harding was on the beach in France during that initial incident, and, in a lengthy investigation, tracked the smuggler through Europe to Luxembourg. We hear Andrew's report and speak to him about the investigation.

We speak to a 12-year old boy who has graduated from high school and will be starting a university.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
