Mauritania's presidential election has been won by the current defence minister, Mohamed Ahmed Ould Ghazouani. But four opposition candidates have rejected the results, alleging fraud. Turkey's secular opposition has swept aside the Islamist governing party in the re-run contest for mayor of Istanbul. We hear from a law enforcement officer who speaks about a black bear found asleep in a wardrobe in the US state of Montana.
