They became known as East Timor’s stolen generation – around 4,000 children taken from their families in the 1980s and 1990s during Indonesia’s brutal occupation. Some were conscripted into the Indonesian military; others taken by religious groups or state institutions. Indonesia calls them the “separated children” and denies they were taken by force.
Now a local NGO is taking them back to East Timor – now an independent nation – for the first time. The BBC followed Alberto Mohamed, now 43, as he returns to track down his family.

It was reported that in 2015 alone 30 Namibians, 22 Zimbabweans and an unknown number of Zambians were shot on suspicion of poaching.

Elephants can be very destructive when they encroach on to farmland and move though villages – destroying crops and sometimes killing people. Many rural communities believe the number of elephants is increasing, even though there is no evidence of this from scientific surveys.

But their “range” – how far the elephants travel – is expanding for a number of different reasons and that is increasing conflict between wildlife and humans. Many people believe this worsened after hunting was banned in 2013, and want it to be re-introduced.

The government has to balance lifting the hunting ban to win votes against the impact it may have on Botswana’s international reputation as a luxury safari destination.

Ukraine and Russia have both said air alert apps were hacked after fake messages warning of attacks, including nuclear, were sent to users.

Ukraine’s app sent red-level air raid warnings across the country, with additional warnings of radiation, chemical attacks, and street fighting sent to some residents in areas including Kyiv.

A few hours later, Russian authorities said a similar app was hacked after fake alerts, some of which contained foul language, were triggered.
