Health officials in central Africa are urging people in areas affected by an Ebola outbreak to maintain strict hygiene to prevent its spread. We answer audience questions about the outbreak.
We explain why people have been queueing outside Swatch stores to buy a new pocket watch. We speak to 麻豆社 Business and people who have been queueing.
After three hikers were killed during an eruption of a volcano in Indonesia, we speak to a tour guide and to a lava chaser.
And we go to Kenya to hear about a nationwide strike by owners of matatus - those are commercial and public transport vehicles - following a recent hike in the cost of fuel.
