Sierra Leone and Malawi

Available for over a year

Pascale Harter presents two dispatches from Africa. Tim Mansel has been working in Sierra Leone with health teams trying to spread awareness of how to avoid catching Ebola - and what you should do if you fear you've been infected. It turns out that while the disease can't be cured, it can sometimes be survived - and its spread can be limited, if you follow the right tactics. Nick Redmayne's on the shores of Lake Malawi, where people who earn a living from its waters by fishing find there's less and less in their nets these days, and wonder about what kind of haul their political leaders are landing.
