Shock in Slovakia as PM is shot

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

An assassination attempt on the prime minister of Slovakia leaves him fighting for his life. We hear from a journalist who witnessed the aftermath of the shooting - and from Slovakia's deputy prime minister - who criticises the government's opponents. Also on the programme: As the UK government creates a new offence of "cuckooing" - when criminal gangs take over vulnerable people's homes - we hear about its impact on one family. And the acclaimed war photographer Sir Don McCullin reflects on a lifetime in photojournalism.
