First day for Chad's Transitional Council

The temporary government was set up following the death of President Idris Deby

Chad's Transitional Council marks its first official day leading the country following the death of the late President Idris Deby. One of the journalists who helped unveil the Pandora Papers talks about the impact the largest-ever leak of financial documents is likely to have on leaders' accountability. The UK has unveiled a new treatment for Sickle Cell Disease, a blood-born disorder that disproportionately affects people of African descent.
