Burundi detains girls for scribbling on president's photo
Three teenagers await trial for doodling on President Nkurunziza's photo on schoolbooks
Three schoolgirls in Burundi risk being jailed for five years for scribbling on President Nkurunziza's photo in their textbooks, says campaign group Human Rights Watch.
Plus, around 15 thousand people await rescue in Mozambique - still trapped by flood waters after the huge cyclone.
And more questions are asked on the training given to the pilots of the Ethiopian airliner that crashed this month killing all on board.
