Samia Hassan wins Tanzania Election amid unrest

Weekend

Available for 28 days

President Samia Suluhu Hassan has been declared the winner of Tanzania's election - with almost ninety- eight percent of the vote. Most rivals were prevented from taking part, triggering days of violent unrest. The opposition says hundreds of protesters have been killed by the security forces. Also in the programme, in the Caribbean one of the most intense storms ever to make landfall, Hurricane Melissa, is now dissipating northwards after leaving a trail of destruction. It devastated parts of Jamaica and Cuba and drenched Haiti with rain, killing about fifty people. And Egypt is officially opening a new museum housing tens of thousands of artefacts from its ancient civilization. Overlooking the Giza Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum includes a complete collection of treasures from the tomb of the boy king Tutankhamun. To give us their personal take on the news and issues of the day, Catherine Barnard, professor of European Union law at the University of Cambridge and Sergey Radchenko, a Distinguished Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in the United States.
