Rebels edge closer to taking key city in Democratic Republic of Congo

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As Rwanda is accused of aiding rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo, we look at what lies behind a decades-long conflict and why it has flared in recent days. We speak to the MP who wants to tighten the language on mental capacity in the landmark Assisted Dying Bill. And the man fitted with a new brain implant that has been so successful he sometimes forgets he has Parkinson's disease.
