Focus on Africa: South Africa building fire: What happened to survivors?

Two years on from the devastating fire at an abandoned building in Johannesburg that was occupied by squatters, how much has changed? We revisit the scene of one of South Africa's worst tragedies, in which more than 70 people - including children - died, to find out what happened to the survivors. Scientists warn that global warming and climate change could be making flight turbulence more frequent. Will bumpier skies put people off air travel? And lawyers are arguing for easier divorce laws in Uganda. So what are the pros and cons of no-fault, as opposed to, fault divorces? Presenter: Audrey Brown Producers: Alfonso Daniels, Sunita Nahar and Priya Sippy in London. Makuochi Okafor in Lagos Senior Producer: Patricia Whitehorne Technical Producer: Ricardo McCarthy Editors: Maryam Abdalla, Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
