Oscars 2016

How did you feel about the way the Oscars ceremony addressed the controversy over race?

How did you feel about the way the Oscars ceremony addressed the controversy over race? We speak to some of the people who watched it.

We speak to people in Syria to find out whether the "cessation of hostilities" is having a practical effect on their lives.

We talk about HIV stigma around the world, especially towards children whose parents are feared to be positive. BBC Sinhala have reported on a school in Sri Lanka which emptied all but one six-year-old pupil, because he was feared to have HIV. His father's death had wrongly been blamed on Aids.
