Newsday

Available for 13 days

The Nigerian foreign minister Yusuf Tuggar told the BBC that it was a joint operation that had been planned for a while. He stressed that the strikes had nothing to do with religion, as the terrorists were killing Nigerians irrespective of their faith. We'll also speak to a former US diplomat who was based in Moscow to get his take on the latest developments in the Ukraine Peace Talks. We will also take you through the Africa Cup of Nations games today.
