African-made device gives premature babies fighting chance of survival

Reports and analysis of the day's political, economic and sports news from across Africa.

A new African-made device offers a fresh lease of life to premature babies. Current rates of baby mortality, which in Africa are much higher than in many other parts of the world, could be drastically reduced. We hear from Kenyan pediatrician, Dr Steve Adudans.

Plus, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the 1000th person to be cured of Ebola has returned to her home - but are communities being encouraged to take ownership of the fight to control the outbreak?

And African footballers speak out against the racism they've faced in European football.
