The World TonightAvailable for over a year
The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel - whose efforts to form a coalition government have collapsed - says she'd rather have an early election than lead a minority administration. We'll discuss the country's political prospects with CDU and SPD officials. Robert Mugabe's one time supporters are now preparing for impeachment - proceedings to begin in Zimbabwe tomorrow - we'll hear from a former supporter and an opposition MDC MP. And the senior UN official Louise Arbour tells us Europe should reconsider its migrant deal with Libya in the wake of allegations that migrants had been sold in to slavery.
