Two crew safe after emergency landing of a Russian Soyuz rocket.

A US astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut were forced to make an emergency landing after their Russian Soyuz rocket malfunctioned en route to the International Space Station. Russian officials say they've begun a criminal investigation into the failed space mission.

Also in the programme: Gunmen kidnap Africa's youngest billionaire from a busy street in Tanzania, and German far-right party AfD has come under fire for launching an online portal for school pupils to report teachers who express a political opinion.
