Hello people.
As you can imagine, I am not in London only to enjoy the beautiful and rich art scene and the cultural diversity.
I am working back from BBC Afrique's newsroom, as I mention early July, in New Broadcasting House, from Monday I have been presenting our evening news programme and will be for the next two weeks on African news.
Our programme and our interviews are in French as broadcast in French-speaking Africa but here is a summary in English if you are interested.
Today was a busy day for Mali, Ivory Coast and DR Congo and our first interviewee was Djibrill Bassolé, Burkina Faso's Foreign Minister. He travelled today for the first time in Northern Mali, where he met with some representatives of islamist movements Ansar Dine and MUJAO.
You can listen our interview in our evening edition on our website:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/afrique/
Or you can catch an abstract in our morning edition from 4:30 GMT and 6:00 universal time.
A summary of his explanations is also on our website here:

In Ivory Coast, the FPI members, supporting their leader and former president Laurent Gbagbo has rejected accusations their forces might be responsible for the attacks against the army forces that occured this weekend and Monday.
And in DRC, Valerie Amos, the UN secretary general for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has arrived in Goma today, in North Kivu, after landing in Kinshasa on Monday. She met with official and civilians and urge to help protecting the local population, after weeks of violence between the army forces (FARDC) and the rebel movement militians of the M23.
Samuel Dixon, analyst based in Goma for Oxfam was our guest in our studio to comment on the difficulties the inhabitants of Eastern Congo are still facing.
Our main guest was finally Dr. Lori-Anne Théroux-Bénoni, West Africa specialist from the University of Toronto, to comment on the increasing violence in Ivory Coast.
More on African news tomorrow and stay tuned.
