In tonight's edition: More than 330,000 doses of the RTS,S malaria vaccine, known as Mosquirix, have been delivered to Cameroon in a game-changing scaling-up of the regional immunisation drive. Also, Anglophone separatists are suspected as being behind the killings of nine villagers in French-speaking Cameroon. The killings in Bamenyam come amidst a secessionist conflict that has dragged on since 2017. Finally, prisoners in Mozambique are on the forefront of tests using artificial intelligence to screen for TB (tuberculosis).
