A farm belonging to former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta is looted and set alight.

A farm belonging to the former Kenyan president, Uhuru Kenyatta, is looted and set alight. The raid comes against the backdrop of ongoing opposition protests, which have seen shops remaining shut in parts of the country because of fears of violence. A business owner tells us the the situation must be resolved soon. 

We also hear from the governor of the opposition stronghold, Kisumu, who vows the protests against the high cost of living and alleged electoral malpractices, will continue until their demands are met. 

Plus, what next for Paul Rusesabagina, the former hotel manager portrayed as a hero in the Hollywood film Hotel Rwanda, following his release from prison at the week?
