Cyril Ramaphosa: South Africa leader won't resign, says spokesman

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa will not resign despite a scandal over money stolen from his farm, his spokesman says. The row centres on claims he kept large sums of cash on his property then covered up its theft. Mr Ramaphosa is due to meet the top leadership bodies of his African National Congress party on Sunday after failing to turn up at an earlier meeting. We hear the latest from Johannesburg. Also on the programme: Ukraine sets up thousands of so-called 'Points of Invincibility' - special shelters for basic services - after Russian attacks on critical infrastructure. And we go to Senegal as excitement builds ahead of the country's last-16 tie against England in the men's football world cup in Qatar.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Orysia Lutsevych of the foreign-policy think tank Chatham House and Joshua Hammer, an author and journalist based in Berlin.
