The UN accuses Ethiopia of detaining its staff
The UN is warning that Ethiopia is at risk of descending into civil war.
The United Nations says 16 of its staff members have been detained in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa. In the wake of the fuel tanker explosion that killed 115 people in, Freetown, survivors and their families are left wondering how to rebuild their lives. We hear from Gambian climate change activist Fatou Jeng as she highlights the disproportionate impact that the rise in global temperatures can have on women and girls.
