Today's video story: Now, Punishment For Possessing Old Indian Notes? Is Notes Ban Pain Going Away Anytime Soon? We are just two days away from the government's deadline to deposit old 500 and 1000-rupee notes in our banks. The Prime Minister had said in his November 8th address that if for some reason people couldn't do that, they had time till March 31st to deposit the money at RBI counters. But today his government has cleared an ordinance that will make it a criminal offence to possess more than 10 old notes. Meanwhile, we still don't know if bank withdrawal limits will be eased after Friday. Though reports say banks simply don't have the cash and want the limits to continue indefinitely.

Today's video story: The President of Nigeria promised to defeat Boko Haram before 2017. With the new year just a few days away, Muhammadu Buhari says he's delivered. Army commanders announced fighters have been forced from all their strongholds. It isn't the first time the government has claimed to defeat Boko Haram. Fighters who are waging war against what they consider western influence - and trying to impose their version of Islam - still control large parts of the rural north east. Boko Haram fighters who have fled Nigeria have reportedly regrouped in neighbouring countries. What does that mean for Nigeria and its neighbours?
