Pro-Moscow leader wins Slovakia's general election

A pro-Russian party has emerged as the largest in the parliamentary election in Slovakia - until now a staunch backer of Ukraine. The populist SMER party won 22 percent of the vote, and its disgraced leader, Robert Fico, could be on track to become Prime Minister for the fourth time, although difficult coalition talks lie ahead.

Also in the programme: Poland's main opposition holds what it calls the "march of a million" in the streets of Warsaw; and we meet the South Korean composer and music director Jung Jae-il.

Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss this and more are Christina Lamb, who is chief foreign correspondent for Britain's Sunday Times newspaper, and Silo Boccanera who is a Brazilian journalist based in London.
