In an extraordinary Oval Office meeting, President Trump ambushes the South African president with claims of white farmers being persecuted.

We hear a response from Mzwanele Nyhontso, the Minister of Land Reform and Rural Development for South Africa.

Also on the programme: how the Italian authorities dealt a blow to a powerful international arm of the mafia – the 'Ndrangheta; and a conservation success story from India, saving the Asiatic Lion.
