Electoral discord in Kenya deepens
President Uhuru baulks at meeting the elections chairman, while Raila does as requested
Raila Odinga meets with the elections chairman as requested. But President Uhuru says he won't. Meanwhile, there are concerns that the political stalemate is stoking the flames of hatred. Also Somalia's president pledges money for civilian defence. Does he mean weapons - in spite of an arms embargo? Plus a climb up the slopes of the Nyiragongo volcano in the east of The DR Congo.
