Brazil's Lula: Prison, or Presidential Run?
Judges to decide whether to uphold former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's jail term
Judges in Brazil will decide whether to uphold a prison term given to the country's former President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Despite being convicted of corruption and money-laundering, Lula - who denies the allegations - is hoping to win another term as president at elections on 7 October.
Also in the programme: we sit down with Zimbabwe's new president Emmerson Mnangagwa for his first broadcast interview; plus a decades-old 'male-only' charity dinner faces sexual harassment claims.
