Seychelles opposition leader denies witchcraft charges - a podcast by BBC World Service

The main opposition leader in Seychelles, Patrick Herminie, is one of eight people charged with witchcraft, following the exhumation of two bodies. They deny the charges, with Mr Herminie calling the prosecution a "political show" intended to taint his image.

And why the price tag for conserving the king of beasts, the African lion, could be a staggering $3 billion per year.
