Aftermath of Mogadishu hotel siege

Somalia security forces in the capital Mogadishu are sweeping the Hayat hotel for explosives after ending a thirty-hour siege.

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?

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.
