International concern about the deadly West African outbreak sees the Confederation of African Football postponing qualifying games for the continent's 2015 tournament. Meanwhile, scores of families flee escalating turmoil in Libya. As warring militia continue to battle around Tripoli, the weak central government hopes for international help. And here in France, 20 African soldiers who took part in Operation Dragoon on the shores of Provence 70 years ago are decorated.

Programme produced by Georja Calvin Smith and Mary Colombel
