Punches thrown in South African parliament

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Chaotic scenes in the South African parliament as members of the opposition are dragged out by security guards. We debate the government's decision to stop taking in unaccompanied child refugees from the Continent. Why the government of Kenya is trying to close the world's biggest refugee camp. And Andrew Lloyd Webber becomes the first composer in more than sixty years to have four shows running on Broadway.
