In tonight's edition: M23 fighters are edging close to the key eastern DR Congo city of Uvira, days after Rwanda and the DRC signed a peace deal in Washington. Also, the ICC sentences a notorious Janjaweed militia leader to 20 years in prison for atrocities committed in Sudan's Darfur region in the early 2000s. Plus Tanzania deploys the police and army to prevent Independence Day protests that activists had called for to denounce post-electoral violence.
