Victoria Derbyshire on BBC Five Live is broadcasting from Harare, the first radio programme to be broadcast from Zimbabwe to the UK since the BBC was banned from the country in 2001. Is this a fresh insight into the troubled country or a PR coup for Robert Mugabe? And, from more than 50 countries in Africa, why does Zimbabwe dominate media coverage in the UK? Jeremy Hunt, the shadow secretary of state for culture, media and sport, on the Conservative Party's plans to cap the pay of BBC executives. Managing Tiger Woods' reputation: how the UK's libel laws could be used to help him - and his wife - stop the spread of allegations about their private life.
