Episode description

Togo's parliament has voted for a new constitution which resulted in people taking to the streets in protest. The changes mean, parliament now has the power to elect the President for a single six-year term. It all sounds good in theory, so why are critics concerned?

Also why does the United States and the United Nations refer to Guinea Bissau as a 'narco-state'?

And the cost of cobalt mining in the DR Congo.
