BBC World Service - Newshour, Zimbabwe Election: Deadly Violence In Harare

Police say three people killed after troops open fire on rioting opposition supporters

Police say three people killed after troops open fire on rioting opposition supporters.

Police in Zimbabwe say three people have been killed after soldiers opened fire to disperse opposition supporters alleging fraud in Monday's elections. Both sides are trading accusations over the violence that engulfed parts of the capital Harare. The protests came after the Electoral Commission said the governing ZANU-PF had attained a two-thirds majority in parliament. 

Also in the programme: a reporter in Texas who's just retired after witnessing hundreds of death row executions.
