Eye on Africa - Mine collapse in eastern Congo leaves 200 dead
In tonight's edition, at least 200 people have been killed in a coltan mine collapse in the East of the DRC. Also, unhappy with the appointment of a woman as the Archbishop of Canterbury,  the Nigerian Conservative Anglican bishop group announces the creation of its own body to lead the Anglican faith. And at just 12 days until kickoff, the Confederation of African Football postpones the Women's Africa Cup of Nations until the summer.
