Episode description

Two people have reportedly died of gunshot wounds after police opened fire during protests in Kenya. It's the latest in a wave of anti-government rallies that began last year. The demonstrations mark the 35th anniversary of the historic Saba Saba protests that launched Kenya's push for multiparty democracy. Security forces blocked all major roads into central Nairobi ahead of the protests. We'll hear analysis.

Also, we are in Morocco as the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) gets underway. How has the host country fared so far?

And a conversation with musical icon Angélique Kidjo about her Hollywood Walk of Fame recognition!
