South Africa's political parties prepare for coalition talks

The governing African National Congress has lost its outright majority for the first time since the end of apartheid 30 years ago. The official tally will be announced on Sunday, but with 99.76% of the results in the ANC has got about 40% of the vote.

Also today: Mexicans head out to vote in an election that may result in the country's first female president; and we hear from rock ‘n’ roll artist Earl Slick about his new memoir and being David Bowie's sideman.

Today’s guests are Michael Peel, science editor of the Financial Times, and Julie Norman, associate professor of politics and international relations at University College London.
