U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin meets with Kenya’s defense minister Aden Duale in Nairobi Monday, his second stop in his three nation tour of Africa. The mayor of Libya's eastern city of Derna is detained alongside other officials on suspicion of mismanagement and negligence over the collapse of dams that flooded the city two weeks ago. And-- an inspirational story of a former gang member who grew up in an impoverished neighborhood in Kenya but now a nationally recognized swordsman.
