- Across the world, debates are raging about access to safe abortion. Complications from unsafe, backstreet procedures are a leading cause of maternal death in developing countries. In Kenya, where almost two-thirds of pregnancies are unintended, unregulated terminations are estimated to claim the lives of over 2,000 women every year.
BBC Africa Eye reporter Linda Ngari investigates a hidden crisis that has led to an estimated seven Kenyan women dying from unsafe abortions every day, with many more facing life-altering complications.

- Description
- Kenya’s Masaai community are using a clever technique to reap big rewards in the fight against climate change. Little ‘half moons’ dug into farmland – otherwise known as ‘water bunds’ - capture rainwater, allowing it to sink into the ground instead of washing away.
And that means seeds can actually take root and vast areas of land can once again turn green. Maasai conservationist Lanoi Meitiekini explained to the BBC how it works.

- Runtime

- Date posted

- Description
- Menopause is a topic that is rarely spoken about in many cultures and communities yet impacts around 50% of the world’s population.
The menopause is when women's periods stop. When periods haven't happened for 12 months, you can look back and say you've been through the menopause (the last period). For some, it can happen earlier - either naturally, or after treatment for another condition.
This signals the end of the reproductive years and the start of a new phase of life.
Now, the globally recognised ‘World Menopause Day’ is seeking to change that and open up the conversation on the topic.
Whilst this is a great start, there are a few false truths floating about when it comes to menopause, so how much of what we know to be true is really fact?
The BBC’s Irenitemi Somuyiwa is busting some of the myths and misconceptions around menopause.

The traffickers ranged from homeless drug addicts to organised criminals and even corrupt medical staff.

After the broadcast of the ‘The Baby Stealers’, officials made public promises of firm government action and some of those involved in the underground trade were arrested.

Gymnastics Ireland apologised on Monday "for the upset that has been caused".
In the statement, the governing body said it was "deeply sorry", that it knew it needed to do more to ensure "nothing like this will happen again" and it condemned "any form of racism".

- Description
- There's currently a huge demand across the world for lithium and it's Zimbabwe that has Africa's largest lithium reserve.
Efforts to develop more renewable energy sources means there’s a growing demand for batteries – particularly in the car industry, as it shifts towards electric vehicles.
A key component of batteries is lithium and African countries are set to play a huge role in this vital supply chain.
Zimbabwe has Africa's largest lithium reserve and hopes to become the world's largest exporters of lithium.
In July 2023, a Chinese mining company completed the $300m construction of a lithium mine in Zimbabwe.
But with elections approaching, how important will this key resource be for Zimbabwe’s economy and the president's international relationships?
The BBC's Nyasha Michelle explains.

- The death of Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin will test the resilience of operations by thousands of mercenaries active in Africa's Sahel region.
Wagner has a decentralised command on the continent where it provides security for some African leaders in exchange for mineral and other strategic economic and military concessions.
But given Prigozhin's death, how does this affect Wagner going forward? And does this impact Russia and Africa's relationship?
