A man suspected of being the main financier of the militia groups that carried out the 1994 Rwandan genocide has been arrested in France.  Felicien Kabuga was detained in a Paris suburb, where he'd been living under a false identity. Theodora Umurorwa was left for dead in the violence but survived and describes the role Kabuga played. 

Also in the programme: Iran sentences a French-Iranian academic to six years in prison on national security charges; and a view on the challenges of the Coronavirus pandemic from the Central African Republic.
