A new Human Rights Watch report says the EU's and Spain’s outsourcing of migration control to Mauritania has worsened abuses against asylum seekers and migrants heading for Europe, but the Mauritanian authorities reject those claims. Why are cybercrimes on the rise in Africa and how can you stay safe? And we find out why the population of one of Kenya's iconic tourist attractions - flamingos - has fallen sharply. Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers: Sunita Nahar, Mark Wilberforce and Priya Sippy in London Senior Producer: Patricia Whitehorne Technical Producer: Jonathan Greer Editors: Maryam Abdalla, Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
