Jeb Bush launches 'optimistic' campaign for president
(FRANKS..)
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush has
officially launched his US presidential campaign, promising to "run
with heart" and "take nothing and no one for granted".
Mr Bush, the son and brother of two former presidents, spoke in his hometown of Miami, Florida.
Recently released campaign branding leaves behind his surname, which some see as a political liability.
Polling suggests he has yet to dominate a wide field of Republican candidates.
Speaking
in both English and Spanish, Mr Bush used his speech to appeal to a
broad swath of the US electorate - of which minorities have become
increasingly more important - not just the Republican's conservative
base.
"In any language," Mr Bush said, "my message will be an
optimistic one because I am certain that we can make the decades just
ahead in America the greatest time ever to be alive in this world."
Much
of Mr Bush's remarks were dedicated to his record as the former
governor of Florida, during which time the state enjoyed economic
growth.

However, his speech was
interrupted by at least one heckler, forcing Mr Bush to improvise a
response that included a denunciation of President Barack Obama's
immigration reforms.
Mr Bush also offered some insight into his foreign policy stances.
"We
keep dependable friends in this world by being dependable ourselves. I
will rebuild our vital friendships and that starts by standing with the
brave democratic state of Israel," he told the crowd, which erupted in
cheers.
He also denounced Mr Obama's recent overtures toward Cuba.
"Ninety
miles to our south there's a talk of a state visit by our outgoing
president," Mr Bush said. "We don't need a glorified tourist to go to
Havana in support of a failed Cuba. We need an American president to go
to Havana in solidarity with a free Cuban people, and I'm ready to be
that president."

(FRANKS..) Suleiman Hashimu walked 750km (460 miles) and wore out six pairs of shoes over 18 days in order to see the inauguration of Nigeria's new president. His trek caught the public imagination and when he completed his trek, he actually got an invitation to meet Muhammadu Buhari before he was sworn in on Friday. Two years ago, Mr Hashimu was talking with a group of friends about what they would do if Mr Buhari, a former military leader, won the 2015 presidential election. One owned a shop and said he would let people take whatever they wanted, free of charge, but Mr Hashimu did not have much money to give away. "I made a promise that if Gen Buhari should win the election I would trek from Lagos to Abuja - so it started as this joke!" he says. When Mr Buhari was declared the winner on 1 April 2015 - becoming the first opposition candidate to win a presidential election in Nigeria - Mr Hashimu's friends called him, reminding him of his promis...

The BBC's Will Ross spoke to the parents of some of the girls about their ordeal. In the remote farming community of Chibok, the agony is only getting worse. The parents and other relatives of the missing 219 school girls complain that they have been left to rely on a diet of rumour from the media and a long list of unfulfilled promises from the politicians. "The government must do more to get the girls back. Some parents are already dying. About six women have g...
