The Aftermath of Nigeria's Postponed Elections

What next for Nigeria after the postponed elections? What next for Syria post IS defeat?

24 hours since Nigeria's electoral commission announced that Saturday's elections were to be postponed, how are Nigerians feeling today?

And in Syria, the military battle to gain land claimed by Islamic State is almost over - but what comes next?

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Manmit Bhambra, a British sociologist and a teacher of Identity Politics at the London School of Economics, and Simon Robinson, regional editor for Europe, Africa and the Middle East at the Reuters news agency.
