BBC World Service - Newshour, DRC Election: Felix Tshisekedi Declared President

DRC's constitutional court declares victory for Felix Tshisekedi in disputed election

Congo’s constitutional court confirmed Felix Tshisekedi’s presidential election win, dismissing a challenge from opposition leader Martin Fayulu who rejected the court’s decision and declared himself president. Mr Fayulu tells Newshour he wants his supporters to begin non-violent protests to challenge to the results.

Also in the programme: A reporter on the ground in Zimbabwe tells us she's spoken to mothers of children who've been beaten, and we speak to the director of a new film about a psychological experiment called the 'Sex Raft'.
