Zanzibar elects new president
Hussein Mwinyi is the son of a former president from the same political party.
The ruling CCM party's presidential candidate in Zanzibar, Hussein Mwinyi, has been declared the winner with 76% of the vote.
At least 100 people have been arrested following violent anti-government protests in the Angolan capital, Luanda on Saturday. They will be going on a mass court hearing this week.
Plus we hear from Ethiopian conservationist Greta F. Lori. She talks about why she has dedicated her life to save elephants.
