Kirsty Coventry becomes first woman and first African to head IOC

Zimbabwe's two-time Olympic swimming champion Kirsty Coventry will be the most powerful person in sport - after being elected head of the International Olympic Committee. It was expected to be a close race, but Coventry was elected by a majority in the first round of a secret ballot. She's described her election as an "extraordinary moment" and promised to make IOC members proud of their choice.

Also on the programme: we're at the scene of pro-democracy demonstrations in Istanbul as Turks take to the streets to protest against the detention of the city's popular mayor; and an actor with dwarfism gives us her take on the controversy surrounding the lack of people like her in the live-action remake of Snow White.
