Nigeria reports its sixth death from the Ebola epidemic that has now killed over 1,500 people across West Africa. Also, Niger's leader of the opposition and parliamentary speaker Hama Amadou flees to Burkina Faso after parliamentary leaders approve his arrest in connection with a baby-trafficking investigation. And ravenous locusts descend onto Madagascar's capital.
Programme produced by Georja Calvin-Smith and Mary Colombel
