Beyoncé releases The Gift music album to accompany Disney's remake of The Lion King

Beyoncé has released The Gift music album to accompany Disney's remake of The Lion King. We hear from Afrobeat stars talking about the growing  international popularity of African music.

Also, the Dutch supreme court has upheld a ruling that the Netherlands was partially responsible for 350 deaths in Bosnia's Srebrenica massacre. We hear from our BBC reporter outside the court.

And we hear from the BBC’s Alan Kasujja reporting from Tanzania. He's been looking at the role of women in business and politics there.
