The coronation of a king

Thailand has a new king; Cyclone Fani in India; next week's elections in South Africa

The coronation of the new Thai king gets under way in Bangkok.
Also in the programme: an update on the destruction of Cyclone Fani in India.
And can South Africa’s corrupt vested interests be controlled after next week’s elections?

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Sally Leivesley, a London-based international risk and security consultant who's advised both the British and Australian governments, and Robbie Barnett, a British scholar and expert on Tibet and nationalities in China.
