Newsday

Available for over a year

We hear from a virologist as international health leaders play down concerns about the new variant spreading in London and the south-east of England. Interpol seizes 40,000 sticks of dynamite in West Africa. But what was it intended to be used for? And fifty thousand women die in childbirth in Nigeria each year. We hear about a village that has come up with a plan to save lives - and how the government wants to use it for the whole country.
