BBC World Service - Weekend, African leaders meet to solve the political crisis in The Gambia

Talks aimed at solving the political crisis in The Gambia continue.

The Gambia's President-elect, Adama Barrow, heads to a summit in Mali with other African leaders after talks failed to persuade the current President Yahya Jammeh to step down.

Also, the dangers of India's kite-craze. And, a stumbling block in the talks to reunify Cyprus.
