Slovak PM shot and in 'life-threatening' condition

We have the latest on the shooting of Robert Fico in the central town of Handlova.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico is in hospital after being shot a number of times in what officials are calling an assassination attempt. We speak to a local journalist and to our Europe regional editor.

We continue to hear from Brazilians affected by the worst floods in the country for 80 years. We speak to those who stepped in to rescue people from their homes and from the water.

South Africa's main opposition party, alongside a number of labour and business groups, have said they will take legal action against a bill aimed at providing universal health coverage. We get some reaction.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
