Is Zimbabwe worse now than under Mugabe?
Zimbabwe opposition condemns government over a brutal crackdown after a petrol price rise
President Mnangagwa cancels a trip to Davos and returns home to deal with unrest after a brutal crackdown by his security services, condemned by opposition politicians. Demonstrations started after a hike in the price of fuel.
Also in the programme: The Archbishop of Canterbury reveals he prays in tongues each morning, but what exactly does it involve? And the smartphone messaging service, WhatsApp, announces it will limit all its members to forwarding any single message five times, in an attempt to prevent the dissemination of fake news.
