Mnangagwa Sworn in as Zimbabwean President

BBC World Service - Newshour, Mnangagwa Sworn in as Zimbabwean President

Zimbabwe's new president uses his inauguration to outline plans to rebuild the economy

Zimbabwe's new president outlines his plans to rebuild the economy in his inauguration address.

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.
