We start the programme in Nigeria, where more than 100 pupils have been abducted by gunmen from a government school in the Kuriga area of Kaduna state.  The children were aged between eight and 15.  Our Lagos correspondent will bring us the latest on that distressing story.

Talks in Cairo aimed at securing a potential ceasefire in the war in Gaza have stalled without a deal.  We hear the details from our correspondent in Jerusalem.

Haiti has extended its state of emergency for another month with a night curfew.  It’s because gang violence has reached a new peak this week. Two Haitian journalists describe what it’s like reporting on the violence.

Also on the programme, news about a new bill passed in the US state of Alabama that protects IVF clinics and their doctors and patients, who might have faced criminal charges.  We also from couples who may be impacted by the bill.
