Independent candidates linked to Imran Khan lead Pakistan's election

Imran Khan's PTI party has been banned from participating in the election and Mr Khan himself is currently imprisoned.

Also on the programme: Israel says it is preparing a major operation into Rafah, the southernmost city in the Gaza Strip which currently contains more than a million displaced people. And should there be limits on how much wealth individuals are allowed to have?

And throughout the programme we are joined by Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani, a Nigerian novelist and journalist and Chris Stephen, a British writer and journalist.
