The Ethiopian government says almost 16 million people are short of food

The Ethiopian government says almost 16 million people are short of food.

Britain's Africa minister Andrew Mitchell has told the BBC there is clearly a risk of famine in Ethiopia unless action is taken to prevent it. We speak to our correspondent who has been travelling with the minister visiting the area affected by the food crisis. 

As the US Secretary of State makes another visit to the Middle East, we have the latest on his diplomatic mission and on the situation in Gaza. 

We speak to a reporter in Chile about the wildfires that have killed more than 100 people in Valparaiso region.

We speak to a teacher from a group of educational workers in the US state of Kentucky that has won a $1million lottery prize.

We hear from a mother and her daughter, who fell victim of online harassment after a fake porn video was circulated with a claim that it was of her.
