Thousands Evacuated from Indonesia Quake

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Thousands Evacuated from Indonesia Quake

Thousands evacuated from the Indonesian island of Lombok after a 6.9 magnitude earthquake

Around 10,000 people have been evacuated from the Indonesian island of Lombok after a powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake on Sunday. It's left nearly 100 people dead. Also, we go to Bangladesh to hear about violence following the protests over the high number of traffic deaths in Dhaka. And we speak about the Netflix film "Nappily Ever After". People are praising it online for addressing the difficult relationship women of colour have with their natural hair.
