There've been violent clashes in central Hong Kong in the latest pro-democracy protest.

Police in Hong Kong have fired tear gas and water cannon in running battles to try to disperse thousands of pro-democracy activists rioting in the central business district.

Also in the programme: South Africa beat England to win the Rugby World Cup; and we'll talk about a new biography of the American rock singer Janis Joplin, who died at the age of 27 of an accidental heroin overdose.
