BBC World Service - Newsday, Malaria vaccine - new hope for better child health in Africa

Malaria vaccine trial offers hope against one of the biggest causes of childhood deaths

Malaria vaccine trial offers hope against one of the biggest causes of deaths in Africa, especially among young children.

A federal judge in the United States has temporarily blocked the near total ban on abortion in Texas which came into effect on September 1st and even prohibits abortions for rape and incest victims.

The first widely tested vaccine for malaria has been unveiled and given the green light to be rolled out by the World Health organisation which can save hundreds of thousands of lives particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.

Plus following the West's military withdrawal from Afghanistan and to mark 20 years since the start of Operation Enduring Freedom we hear from the family of a British soldier killed in Helmand province.
