Zimbabwean Army Seizes Power

BBC World Service - Newshour, Zimbabwean Army Seizes Power

Zimbabwe's president, Robert Mugabe, is under house arrest, South Africa has confirmed

The Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe, is under house arrest, South Africa has confirmed.

The South African government has confirmed that the Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is under house arrest, as the army has seized power in the country. A military spokesman said the president was safe and denied there had been a coup. We discuss whether Mr Mugabe's 37-year rule is coming to an end.

Also in the programme: Lebanon's foreign minister calls on the country's prime minister to reverse his decision to resign; and a report from the frontline in Yemen.
