Newsday

Available for over a year

Politicians in the Philippines are deciding whether to grant a new 25 year licence to ABS-CBN, which has been critical of President Rodrigo Duterte. The killing in Ethiopia of the prominent Oromo singer Hachalu Hundesa has sparked weeks of protest, with dozens killed and thousands arrested. We have an explainer on the Oromo people, the country's largest ethnic group. And if the lockdown has made you rethink your home environment, listen to the Prime Minister of Barbados who's offering visitors a chance to 'work at home' there instead.
