US Zika infection; Zimbabwe land row; Cologne bracing for country's Carnival.

A lawyer explains why his client - A Zimbabwe-born British doctor - can lay claim to a tobacco farm from which white farmers have been evicted. As residents of Cologne have been preparing for the annual carnival, we revisit the German city where all measures have been taken to avoid the celebrations being not blighted by a repeat of the New Year's Eve sexual attacks.
