Ghana denies illegal sale of rosewood to China
Ghana's forestry commission denies exporting the protected rosewood timber illegally
China says it has imported six million rare and protected rosewood trees from Ghana since 2006 - but Ghana says they have only exported 300,000. We hear from the country's forestry commission and ask them about this discrepancy.
Plus, Belgium finally apologises for forcibly removing children from their parents in parts of Africa.
And meet Luis Munana - the man who put Namibia on the map through children's animation.
