Zimbabwean Opposition to File Election Challenge
Zimbabwean Opposition to file a petition challenging the results of last week's election
The opposition Movement for Democratic Change in Zimbabwe is to file a petition challenging the results of last week's election. The MDC insists it has evidence that the elections were rigged, and claim their leader - Nelson Chamisa - is the rightful president.
Also in the programme: Turkey's currency, the lira, has lost 40 per cent of its value since the beginning of the year, as President Erdogan called on Turks to support the currency. And Australian MPs claim they are being inundated with requests from their constituents for official portraits of Queen Elizabeth II.
