Aukus pact condemned by China

Beijing has strongly criticised the significant naval deal. The pact is aimed at countering China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region.

Also on the programme: a special report on outstanding cases of alleged human rights violations in South Africa under Apartheid; and we hear about a swimming pool heated by a computer.
