How to win at fantasy football, Jollof rice wars, and controversy over the holding of human remains in museums.

As the world’s most popular football leagues start up again after the summer break, one listener asks how to figure out the best strategy to become a fantasy football champion. How should you spend that £100m budget? 

We focus on the social media scene in war-torn Yemen. What does the recent detention of a   prominent political analyst reveal about freedom of speech in the country? 
And, the question of which African country makes the best Jollof rice has been causing heated debate online.

Also, Shivaani Kohok explores why storing and displaying human remains in museums has become so contentious.
