Zimbabwe's government has defended its security forces after the country's human rights commission accused them of using systematic torture against protesters.
Also in the programme: Venezuela opposition set for mass protest against Maduro; and the Australian government says it is investigating reports a Chinese-Australian writer has gone missing in China -- we hear from a friend of Yang Hengjun, a blogger and former Chinese diplomat, who has not been heard from since flying from New York to Guangzhou on Saturday.
