Tropical Storm Freddy strikes Malawi a second time
Malawi's president declares a state of emergency after the destruction 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, night attacks on vehicles in Cameroon.
