Bangladesh opposition calls for election rerun, complaining of fraud and intimidation.

Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her governing coalition have won a landslide election victory, but the opposition called the poll "farcical" and demanded a new vote. The opposition alliance - led by the Bangladesh National Party - said its voters had faced unprecedented intimidation.
Also on the programme: Sudan braces for another march on the president's palace calling on him to resign; and the disappearance of a well-known Uighur comedian in China.
