Jacob Zuma denies being 'king of corruption'

BBC OS gives a vibrant account of the day’s events with explanation and reaction from those involved.

South Africa's former President Jacob Zuma has told a judge-led inquiry that allegations of corruption against him were a "conspiracy" aimed at removing him from the political scene. He was appearing for the first time at the inquiry, which is investigating allegations that he oversaw a web of corruption during his term in office. We hear from our correspondent who was at the court.

Also, we hear about a new global study into the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. It suggests that it is at least partly a metabolic disorder, and not purely psychiatric as previously thought.

And, on Sunday Novak Djokovic won the tennis men's singles finals at Wimbledon. He beat Roger Federer in an epic match. We hear from tennis fans.
