Siege ends at hotel in Somalia

Security forces in Somalia say they've ended a thirty-hour siege of the Hayat hotel in the capital Mogadishu.

Also, the daughter of one of President Putin's closet allies has reportedly been killed in a car bomb attack. Who is Aleksandr Dugin and what does he believe in?

Plus, why the arrest of the former Mexican attorney-general over what he described as the "historical truth" about the disappearance of forty-three students, is so significant.

Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are Yasmeen Serhan, a US-born foreign affairs writer for Time magazine based in London; and Lord Peter Ricketts, former UK government national security advisor and British diplomat.
