Nigeria's opposition parties call for election nullification

Opposition parties in Nigeria call for the presidential election to be scrapped.

Nigeria's ruling APC candidate, Bola Tinubu, is leading leading the race for the presidency... but the main opposition parties have called for a re-run of the polls and for all declaration of results to stop. We head to Abuja to hear from the electoral commission, and from Lagos and Anambra on the controversy.

Also, hundreds of thousands of Somali climate refugees seek sanctuary in Kenya as persistent drought causes major hunger.

Plus, we hear from the silent cafe in Kampala where customers have to place an order in sign language.
