Egypt's Morsi buried in Cairo

Ousted Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi is buried a day after he dies in court

Egypt's former President Mohammed Morsi has been buried in Cairo this morning, less than twenty-four hours after he collapsed in court and died. But was a post mortem carried out? We ask the BBC's Ranyah Sabry who is following the events from Cairo.

We speak to the UNHCR, who tell us what's triggered a mass displacement of over 300,000 people in the northeastern region of Ituri, in DR Congo: A hotspot of inter-communal violence and the focus of an ongoing Ebola outbreak.

We visit the Lesotho's prisons that three years ago began distributing free condoms, to find out whether the initiative has been successful in curbing HIV infection among male and female inmates.
