Officials from Egypt and Tanzania are inaugurating the new Julius Nyerere Hydropower dam. The dam has a capacity of 2,115 MW and is set to become the largest in East Africa, and Africa鈥檚 fourth largest. It was built at a cost of US$3 Billion. The inauguration will see the first filling of the dam along the Rufiji River.

Plus El Gordo gets underway in Spain. It's the world's biggest lottery - with the equivalent of almost 2 and a half billion dollars up for grabs.
