Nigeria counts votes after tightest-ever election

First results from Nigeria's hotly-contested presidential election could come later on Sunday, even though some of the voting is still scheduled to take place. Election officials blamed insecurity when polling was postponed in districts of Bayelsa State. There were also reports of sporadic violence elsewhere. BBC correspondent Mayeni Jones speaks to us from Lagos.

Also on the programme: how Turkey and Syria earthquake survivors cope with trauma, and President Lukashenko of Belarus’ visit to China.
