Description

Two undercover investigators, posing as sex workers spent months infiltrating the sex trade in the town of Maai Mahiu. The expose by BBC Africa Eye shows how women, known as "madams" have coerced children as young as 13 in prostitution in Kenya. Hear reporter, Njeri Mwangi, narrate the details of the story.

Also, the United States last week announced new tariff rates for dozens of African countries. What does Malawi, Nigeria and Ghana and Libya export and how will these new taxes change things?

And how are Nigerians reacting to the comments made by the UK's Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, who has said she no longer identifies as Nigerian?
