We get the latest on the coup in the West African state of Niger.

Following the death of Sinead O’Connor, we speak to women in Ireland about the singer’s lifelong dedication to women’s rights and mental health. 

We bring together three female sports journalists in Kenya, Germany and the UK to share what it is like to work in a male-dominated industry.

American rapper Travis Scott has promised fans his live show in front of Egypt's pyramids will go ahead in the future despite this week's gig being cancelled. We get more details from a music journalist.
