Sudan forms army-civilian council to lead country
There will also be a prime minister and cabinet
The leader of Sudan's Transitional Military Council, Lt-Gen Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan, has been sworn in as leader of the newly established sovereign council.
Plus we hear more about the shooting in Bamenda, Cameroon, a day after the military court jailed separatist leaders for life.
And we hear from teacher-turned-comedian Njambi McGrath from Kenya. We hear some of her skits and what motivates her.
