BBC World Service - Newshour, Abe on Course for Resounding Victory in Japan

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's coalition is on course for victory in the election

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's coalition is on course for victory in the election.

Exit polls following Japan's general election suggest the Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, has won a resounding victory. The polls predict the coalition led by Mr Abe's Liberal Democratic Party will take about two-thirds of seats in parliament.

Also in the programme: Outspoken critic of the Kremlin, businessman Bill Browder says Moscow is using the global police alliance Interpol to exact its revenge; and we go to Java where the trade in wild birds is threatening to drive many species to extinction.
