New York Bans Hairstyle Discrimination

Newsday

Available for over a year

New York City has banned discrimination against anyone due to their hairstyle; it's believed to be the first law of its kind in the United States. Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari says he's ordered the police and military to be "ruthless" with vote-riggers, as preparations are made for the upcoming elections. We speak to a Nigerian human rights activist. And in Zimbabwe, greater access to the Internet has helped militants organise protests or shutdowns.
