BBC World Service - Newshour, Zuma Pleads for Unity as ANC Picks New Leader

Whoever wins is likely to succeed Mr Zuma as South African president

South Africa's President Jacob Zuma has called on the ruling African National Congress to stop infighting as it decides who will next lead the party. The main contenders to succeed him are the deputy president, Cyril Ramaphosa, and former cabinet minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, President Zuma's ex-wife.

Also on the programme: Austria's president has approved a coalition government between the conservative People's Party and the far-right Freedom Party, and South Korea's spy agency believes that North Korea has been hacking crypto-currency exchanges and stealing bitcoin.
