BBC World Service - Weekend, Kenyans anticipate election results in tight race

When will results emerge in Kenya's general elections?

Five days after Kenyans voted for a new president, we ask how soon we can expect a result?  Will supporters of both main candidates be willing to accept the result when it does come?

Also, the author Salman Rushdie has been attacked on stage in New York by a man wielding a knife. 

Plus, we'll be live in Afghanistan, where it's almost a year since the Taliban seized control of the capital Kabul.  The BBC's Lyse Doucet will be reflecting on that year and what's it's meant for people who remained in the country.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Professor Chandrika Kaul, professor of history at St Andrew's University specialising in India and British colonial history; and Dr Fuad Musallam, a political anthropologist specialising in Lebanon at the London School of Economics.
