Army seizes power in Zimbabwe

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The military in Zimbabwe has seized power - placing the country's long-standing leader, Robert Mugabe, under house arrest. We hear the latest and look back on president Mugabe's legacy. The Lebanese Prime Minister, Saad Hariri, who's been at the centre of a political drama after his surprise resignation - has been invited to stay in France. The country's Foreign Minister tells us why it's important to have Mr Hariri back in Lebanon. And the suffering of the Rohingya - a senior UN investigator tells us about the harrowing testimony she heard from refugees in Bangladesh.
