Algeria protests turn into celebrations

Following President Bouteflika's resignation, who will take the top job?

- After weeks of massive demonstrations, protesting Algerians hit their target, and on Tuesday night President Bouteflika handed in his resignation. But after the first wave of jubilation, the protests continue as demonstrators have vowed to keep piling on the pressure until the entire government is ousted. We hear voices from the streets and ask a former United States Deputy Ambassador in Algeria who are the next likely candidates for the country.

- In Nairobi, young job seekers turn to Twitter to discuss the challenges of working as unpaid interns. Fresh graduates say that companies should pay interns, but many employers say the opportunity is enough reward. We hear a first-hand account and get advice on how to get paid by an HR consultant from Nairobi.

- The families of some of the Kenyans who died in an Ethiopian Airlines flight in March say they will sue the American aircraft manufacturer Boeing over their deaths.
