Alexander Zakharchenko was killed on Friday in the rebel stronghold of Donetsk

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

The pro-Russian separatist leader Alexander Zakharchenko was killed on Friday in the rebel stronghold of Donetsk. Where does this leave the ongoing war in Eastern Ukraine? 

Also in the programme: South Africa's racial divisions laid bare again as a trade union calls for a strike over perceived anti-white bias at a large petrochemical firm; and we’ll discuss why the leaders of 53 African countries are on a trip to Beijing.
