Zimbabwe: Mnangagwa Says Election Was Fair

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

Zimbabwe's newly re-elected president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, says the elections were free and fair. He added that his rival, Nelson Chamisa, had a crucial role to play in Zimbabwe's future, but he also had the right to challenge the outcome legally.

Also in the programme: A rare visit to a Cuban town where resentment is strong against the neighbouring US military base at Guantanamo Bay; and NASA names its new teams of astronauts -- this time they'll be flying commercial.
