There is anger, outrage and fear in South Africa following the gang rape of eight women

There is anger, outrage and fear in South Africa following the gang rape of eight women last month.

In South Africa, some are calling for a state of emergency, after the vicious gang rape of eight women who were filming a music video last month. Seven men have been charged. We ask two women what it is like being a woman in South Africa.

Police in Sierra Leone say clashes at Wednesday's anti- government protests resulted in the death of six officers. Several protesters were also killed during the protests against the high cost of living, corruption and police brutality. We speak to local people about what happened.

We get some analysis on new satellite images of the explosions in Crimea earlier this week. 

We find out about the urgent immunisation campaign in London, after the virus was detected in sewege samples.
