Malawi declares state of emergency

President Lazarus Chakwera of Malawi has declared a state of emergency because of Cyclone Freddy.

Cyclone Freddy has now claimed at least 190 lives. We hear from a Malawi government minister and the Red Cross who are struggling to help the thousands affected.

Also, Nigeria's Central Bank has now agreed that old Naira notes can be used until the end of the year. How are Nigerians responding and what difference will it make?

Plus, it's thirty years since the end of Apartheid, yet some human rights cases are still unresolved.
