Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei dies

Attacks on women have become a major concern in Kenya.

The Ugandan Olympic athlete, Rebecca Cheptegei, has died four days after allegedly being doused with petrol and set on fire by her former boyfriend. We hear from other athletes and fans, and we speak to our reporter about gender-based violence in Kenya.

There’s been a furious debate on social media after Kenyan influencer Elsa Majimbo questioned the practice of sending money to family members back home. We have three people discussing why they are sending money to family members.

We find out why there has been a backlash against the Minecraft movie after the first trailer was released.

We have the latest on the Paralympics in Paris.
