US actor RJ Mitte, best known for his role as the defiant son of drug kingpin Walter White in the drama series Breaking Bad, has died at the age of 34. His publicist confirmed that he took his own life. He had cerebral palsy, and has a significant legacy for actors with disabilities. We speak to people with cerebral palsy to hear their experiences. Rwanda has signed a 10-year deal to host the first F1 races in Africa since 1993. The event - to be called the African Grand Prix - will be held on a new, purpose-built circuit in Bugesera, 25 miles south of the capital Kigali and next to the city's new international airport. We speak to people involved in F1 across the continent. Presenter: Rahul Tandon Photo: Actor RJ Mitte. Credit: Reuters/Danny Moloshok
