Canada is expected to legalise the sale of cannabis nationwide. Katherine Cullen is parliament reporter at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Ottawa, and tells us how the impact of Canada's move is being closely watched around the world. And Luvlina Sanghera, whose firm Jekyll+Hyde advises firms on marketing cannabis, talks us through how the new rules might work. Also in the programme, as Spain's new government is sworn in, Spanish journalist Amparo Polo tells us about the cabinet, which is made up of a majority of women. We have a report from Zimbabwe examining the country's diamond mining industry. Plus Amazon's online streaming service has won the UK rights to screen 20 English Premier League football matches a year from 2019.
