Court Confirms Felix Tshisekedi As DRC President

An appeal by another candidate, Martin Fayalu, was rejected.

The constitutional court in the Democratic Republic of Congo has upheld the victory of opposition presidential candidate Felix Tshisekedi and rejected an appeal by Martin Fayulu, another opposition contender in the 30 December poll. Despite the court ruling, Mr Fayulu said he was a "legitimate" president. He also urged the international community not to recognise the official election result. Also on the programme a new documentary tells the story of "The Sex Raft." This was a psychological experiment which took place in the 1970s to try and determine the causes of aggression and attraction, which in the end did not go entirely to plan. We'll also be talking about book hoarding. Tidying guru Marie Kondo thinks that you only need thirty books. Is she correct?
