The Africans risking death in jungle trying to reach US

More Africans face danger when migrating to the US and Canada through Central America

The Darien Gap is one of the world’s most dangerous jungles – full of drug traffickers, thieves and poisonous animals.So why are thousands of Africans trying to cross this jungle in South America?

Plus, Gambians count what former president Yahyah Jammeh and his associates cost them - and it comes to nearly half a billion dollars.

Also, South African women are fed up of being raped and murdered. So they marched on the central business district to demand action.

And our satirical Resident Presidents look to expand their global empire.
