The 2019 Komla Dumor award focuses on climate change
The winner of the 2019 Komla Dumor award leads a debate on the effects of climate change
The President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, has joined an anti-corruption march in the capital city Kampala. But as president of the country, shouldn't he be the best placed in trying to root out a problem that has seen Uganda scoring consistently at the lower ranks of corruption indexes worldwide? We ask our correspondent in Kampala Catherine Byaruhanga.
This year's Komla Dumor winner, Solomon Serwanjja leads a debate on climate change and the effects that carbon emissions building up in the earth atmosphere is having on everybody's lives.
People on social media have been talking about a woman named Moradeun Balogun, who was robbed and stabbed in the neck on her way home from work in Lagos. She was rushed to hospital - and - this is where the righteous anger comes in - she was allegedly turned away, denied treatment. Why?
From Abuja, we talk to doctor Biodun Ogungbo and hear from the hospital that allegedly turned away Ms Balogun
