Until now anyone thinking of buying a new 4-by-4 car would be unlikely to go for an African brand largely because there weren’t any. But this is about to change with the arrival of the Kantanka range, all designed and manufactured in Ghana. Among the firm’s range is a two-litre SUV that’s to go on sale for around £14,000. So, when it comes to price Africa’s first SUVs look competitive but will this be enough when it comes to taking on world famous brands like Toyota, Land Rover and BMW? Our Ghana Correspondent, Sammy Darko has been finding out.

Over the last 40 years we have lost 50% of the world’s wildlife. Wildlife programmes were supposed to make us more interested in conservation, but according to Wildlife Presenter and Producer Martin Hughes Games that’s failed to happen. He thinks that’s because the wildlife programmes we see present too much of a sanitised view of the natural world. He says we have a drug fuelled like addiction to the current format of wildlife programmes and he blames the people who commission them. So should we be presented with a different type of wildlife programme that really show us the challenges faced by the natural world?

Labour’s acting leader Harriet Harman is facing serious criticism from some of her most senior colleagues following her decision to back the Government’s plans to cut child tax credits.

There will not be a Team GB football team (either male or female) at the Rio Olympic Games in 2016 because of discontent between the football associations of the home nations. After the success of the Lionesses in Canada at the World Cup, surely this is daft. The government vowed to build on the success of 2012, so why are the medal-favourites ladies team at least not being allowed to go? Lord Moynihan kicked up a fuss in the Lords last week and the sports minister the Earl of Courtown replied that it was "very disappointing". The BoA said they hoped they might have a team for 2020. Lord Moynihan is a former Chairman of the BOA, and ex-minister for sport and Sophie Downey is co-founder of Girls On The Ball website.

One of the longest running cohort studies in medical history - that has meticulously tracked the health and lifestyle habits of more than 5,000 people since their births in 1946 - is turning its attention to dementia. The study, known as the National Survey of Health and Development was initially set up to explore questions about maternity care and child health - they've been through heart disease and cancer too - but now with the cohort members all approaching their seventieth birthdays the emphasis has changed again as our science editor Tom Feilden has been hearing.

In the United States a group of Democrats has discussed removing and relocating several statues from the rather grand halls of power in Congress. For among the tributes there to former presidents and civil rights leaders are those celebrating former leaders of Confederate states - who fought in the civil war to keep African Americans enslaved. So after the debate about the confederate battle flag, which finally came down in South Carolina this week after the appalling church shootings there - what future for the men set in stone? How far does this rethink about marking the past have to go -- Tom Bateman reports from Washington.

On 27th of June 1976 an Air France plane carrying 246 passengers and 12 crew from Israel to France was hijacked by pro-Palestinian terrorists and flown to Entebbe Airport in Uganda. Whilst most of the hostages were released within the first few days, the Israeli hostages were held in the terminal for nearly a week, before Israeli special forces stormed the airport, killing all of the terrorists and dozens of Ugandan soldiers. Now, with the mission unknown to many outside of Israel, historian Saul David has written the first comprehensive account of Operation Thunderbolt, using classified documents from four countries and first hand interviews with hostages and other key participants.   Sarah has spoken to Saul David and Noam Rosenkovitch who was 10 years old when he was taken hostage.
