South Africa's 'mother of the nation' Winnie Mandela dies
South African president Cyril Ramaphosa leads tributes to anti-apartheid campaigner Winnie Mandela.
We reflect on the life of Winnie Madikizela Mandela - described by South Africa's President as "an abiding symbol of the desire of our people to be free" - but a controversial figure too. Also tonight, a sparky conversation with Mike Cushman, a signatory to a letter called "Labour Against the Witchhunt" - is the row about anti-Semitism being used to undermine Jeremy Corbyn? Plus - did Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah really win 5% of the votes in the Egyptian Presidential "election"? And get more women on the television and radio, says the 主播大秀, and quickly.
