Still No Justice for Ebosse

BBC World Service - Sportshour, Still No Justice for Ebosse

A year on from the killing of footballer Albert Ebosse why has there been no justice?

The killing of Cameroon footballer Albert Ebosse moments after a match he played in for his team in Algeria, shocked the world of football. Exactly a year on we ask why so many questions about his death have remained unanswered and why no one has been brought to justice. John Bennett has been speaking to Albert’s brother, as well as looking at the mounting evidence that counters the claims made by authorities in Algeria to what actually happened

Sub 2-hour marathon
The first medal awarded at the World Athletic Championships in Beijing on Saturday will be for the marathon. Whilst the focus on this occasion will be gold, regardless of the time, the discipline is dominated by a seemingly impossible goal of running a sub 2 hour marathon. So can it be done and if so when?  We hear from the athlete, the scientist and the author of a new book "Two Hours: The Quest to Run the Impossible Marathon"

Uganda: Needing A Sporting Chance
The power of sport and its ability to inspire and improve lives is no better evidenced than in Uganda. We look at how the national team’s recent success at the Netball World Cup compares with the initial decision by Canadian authorities to withhold visas from the country’s kayak team who had qualified for next week’s World Championships.  We speak to the team coach moments after finding out a visa appeal has been successful!

Harnessing the Cricketing Passion
Cricket has played a huge part in the lives of many South Asian migrants, who first came to England in the 1960s. After settling in cities like Bradford in Northern England, many of them began to form their own leagues. One of the oldest and largest of these is the Quaid E Azam League in Bradford, which is named after the founder of Pakistan. It has now formed a strong link with Yorkshire County Cricket club, and hopes this will help it contribute more players to both the county side as well as the national team.

No More Kidding About
Anthony Ujah is a Nigerian international who plays at the highest level in Germany, but if you put the striker’s name into a search engine you won't be greeted by a goal, but by a goat! Late last season he celebrated scoring by pulling the horns of the billy goat mascot of his former club, FC Koln. Fans were furious. He’s been telling Sportshour's Steve Crossman about the events that led him on a public relations tour with the animal in question and how his new team’s mascot, Weder Breman’s dog is safe.
