Kenya counts votes in tight election

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

We report from Nairobi where we spend the day among the voters and the queues. And we talk to a young activist about the future of the country. President Trump says North Korea will be met with "fire and fury" if it threatens the United States. Is it time to rethink the way we deal with refugees? We hear from Denmark and discuss ways to transform the refugee system. Is there anything Venezuela's neighbours could do to stop the violence? We hear from Argentina's ambassador to the UK. And we remember Godzilla and the man who was the monster. (Picture: Kenyan voters at a polling station in the Kibera slum, Nairobi Credit: EPA).
