Newsday Essentials
This week on Newsday Essentials, we examine the worsening Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and explore Malawi's historic run to the Women's Africa Cup of Nations final.
The World Health Organization has warned that the Ebola outbreak in the
Democratic Republic of Congo could become the deadliest in history. On this edition
of Newsday Essentials, we speak to Africa CDC Director General Dr Jean Kaseya
about why health officials are changing their strategy and shifting the response to the
community level.
We also look at Malawi's remarkable run at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations.
Ranked 153rd in the world before the tournament, the team has reached the final and
secured a place at the 2027 Women's World Cup. We hear from Malawi's football
officials and star sisters Temwa and Tabitha Chawinga about the journey behind one
of African football's biggest success stories.
