Episode description

The manager of a coffee farmers's co-operative says small scale farmers in Africa are concerned that they may soon be unable to sell their produce to Europe because of the impact of the European Union's deforestation regulations.

New information about the largest rainforest in Southern Africa raises questions about discovery - is it just a foreign concept?

And, two decades after his country's capital was conquered by Italy, Ethiopia's Abebe Bikila became the first black African to win Olympic gold, running barefoot in Rome.

Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers: Joseph Keen and Sunita Nahar in London, and Susan Gachuhi in Nairobi. Technical producer: Jonny Hall Senior Journalist: Patricia Whitehorne Editors: Alice Muthengi and Andre Lombard.
