US deportees to sue Ghana's government

A group of deportees from the US have sued the Ghanaian government, alleging they've been detained illegally. We talk to the lawyer representing these deportees and ask what legal framework underpins this US-Ghana deportation deal? And how does this situation tests the principles of human rights?

Also in the programme: The BBC has managed to get rare access into Sudan's oil-rich Kordofan region, which has turned into a major front line in the war between the army and rival paramilitary forces. We hear about the people caught up in the fighting.

And a 3000-year-old bracelet has been stolen and melted down in Egypt, raising questions about how the country protects its artefacts.

Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers : Yvette Twagiramariya, Patricia Whitehorse and Makouchi Okafor Senior Producer: Sunita Nahar Technical producer: Jonathan Greer Editors: Andre Lombard, Samuel Murunga, Maryam Abdalla and Alice Muthengi
