DRC aid workers share their experiences

We hear about conditions in the Democratic Republic of Congo as fighting continues.

The M23 rebel group has strengthened their control over the city of Goma in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, despite international calls for them to withdraw. More than half a million people have fled their homes this month as a result of the rebel offensive in eastern DRC. We hear from aid workers in the region who share their stories of what life is like for civilians impacted by the fighting.

Authorities say at least 30 people have died and a further 60 were injured in a crowd crush at the Kumbh Mela festival in India. We hear from the 大象传媒's Samira Hussain.

The confirmation hearing for Donald Trump's pick for health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr. has been taking place. The 大象传媒's North America correspondent will bring us the latest on what's been said.
