East Africa bad weather hampers mudslides rescue efforts

Mudslides have left devastation throughout East and Central Africa

Over forty people died in rains that hit Kinshasa in the DRC, during what have been named 'the worst floods in twenty years'. In Somalia, more than 200 000 people have been displaced. Local authorities in Kenya say the death toll from the landslides caused by the rains in West Pokot may hit a hundred, and hundreds more have been displaced. Rescue efforts have been hampered by continuing rain which has washed away roads and bridges.

In Zimbabwe, senior doctors and specialists have joined an ongoing strike with their junior colleagues.

"Meet the Adebanjos" is a British Nigerian sit-com about a Nigerian couple, Bayo and Gladys, trying to bring up their British born children in South London. Joining us in the studio are the Executive Producer Andrew Opeyemi and the actress who plays Gladys, Yetunde Oduwole.
