Medical workers in Uganda 'escalate' strike action

Medical workers in Uganda 'escalate' their strike over pay.

Despite threats they could be sacked by Uganda's Ministry of health, intern doctors join consultants and others by escalating their strike action, saying they're not paid enough even to eat.

Plus, flooding in South Sudan's Unity state is causing devastation for hundreds of thousands and the situation will worsen, says UNICEF, if waters fail to recede.

Also, has the rebel TPLF re-gained control of Lalibella and the strategic town of Gashena from Ethiopian forces?
