Mnangagwa Sworn in as Zimbabwean President

Synopsis

Zimbabwe's new president has used his inaugural speech to lay out his plans to rebuild the economy. He promised to create jobs, cut down on corruption, and welcome foreign investment. We hear from the jubilant crowds inside Harare's main stadium and the opposition stronghold criticising the new president for a brutal crackdown in the 1990s. And we discuss the international community's role in turning Zimbabwe's economy around. Also in the programme: Dozens killed in an attack on a mosque in Egypt; and the changing role of women in Saudi society. (Image: Emmerson Mnangagwa during his inauguration ceremony in Harare.
