Pakistan's army chief warns against post election anarchy

General Asim Munir said a stable hand was needed. He issued the warning after no party won a clear majority in Thursday's general election. Independent candidates backed by the jailed former prime minister, Imran Khan, won the most seats.

Also on the programme: The Iraqi foreign minister has warned that his country risks descending into conflict because of retaliatory attacks by Iranian-backed militias and US forces on its soil; and we look forward to a clash of West African giants in the African Cup Of Nations football final.

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