Turkey PM to Stand Down

We hear reaction to Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's decision to stand down

We hear reaction to Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's decision to stand down. Mr Davutoglu is believed to have fallen from favour having disapproved of Mr Erdogan's plans to move Turkey to a presidential system of government.

Also, we hear from Uganda where the government has banned live media coverage of opposition protests against the re-election of President Yoweri Museveni. And, Zimbabwe is set to print its own version of the US dollar in order to ease a cash shortage. The country has been without its own currency since 2009 - we hear how people have functioned using a variety of currencies.
