Voting in Thailand gets underway

Voting has begun in Thailand's first general election since the military ousted the civilian government in 2014. The vote has been repeatedly postponed, and the powers of any incoming administration will be curtailed by a new constitution which entrenches the influence of the military.

Also on the programme there is growing concern in Mozambique that aid is not getting to the people who need it quickly enough in the aftermath of Cyclone Idai. And Washington speculates about the publication of the report by Robert Mueller into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.
