Available for 29 days

A BBC investigation has found evidence that Sudanese paramilitary fighters systematically destroyed El Fasher's healthcare system during their long siege and subsequent takeover of the city in Darfur a year ago. Our Africa correspondent, Barbara Plett Usher, talks us through the investigation. One of the most-read stories on the BBC website today is about health anxiety. We explain what it is and speak to people who have experienced it. The Duchess of Sussex has said she was informed about "disturbing allegations" about her estranged father in 2018. Our reporter explains. The Simpsons character Apu has returned to the show, voiced by a new actor, after almost a decade away amid accusations of racial stereotypes. We get reaction from filmmakers in South Asia. And we speak to our reporter about the return of Call of Duty. Presenter: Andrew Peach.
