Our regional correspondent brings us the latest on the trial. Also, there have been allegations that WHO aid workers sexually assaulted locals in DR Congo during the Ebola crisis. The organization's chief says those involved will be immediately dismissed. Finally, Ivory Coast has increased the price of cocoa by 20 percent.
