BBC World Service - Newshour, Tensions Ahead of DR Congo Elections

Opposition candidate appeals to constitutional court

An opposition candidate in the Congolese presidential election is trying to ensure that people in three areas of the DRC excluded from voting in Sunday's election will be able to cast their ballots. We'll hear an update from our correspondent in Kinshasa.

Also in the programme: the first Briton to trek solo and unaided across Antarctica; and a report from the Syrian city of Manjib, as the army says it has taken control
