Robert Mugabe: Don't Vote for My Successor
The former president gives a surprise press conference on the eve of Zimbabwe elections
Zimbabwe's former president Robert Mugabe has urged voters not to support his successor Emmerson Mnangagwa, just hours before national elections begin. This will be the first vote since Mr Mugabe was ousted as leader of the Zanu-PF party in November.
Also in the programme: Polls have closed in Cambodia's controversial election that saw the main opposition party banned from taking part. And we'll get the latest from the Indonesian island of Lombok where a powerful earthquake has killed several people and left hundreds injured.
