Senegal election: opposition leads race for presidency

Celebrations after strong showing for Bassirou Diomaye Faye

Provisional results from the presidential election in Senegal are showing that the opposition candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye is leading the race for office. The BBC's James Copnall has the latest from Dakar.

Also on the programme: 'ghost' matter and how scientists have come up with an experiment they hope will help prove its existence; and Jasmin Paris, the first woman to complete one of the world's toughest marathons, says she did it for 'women worldwide'.
