Pakistan election: coalition talks underway
Pakistan's second and third political blocs have agreed to co-operate following elections.
Ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's PMLN and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's PPP issued a statement saying they planned to work together to bring political stability. But the final results in the country's general election have put independent candidates backed by jailed ex-PM Imran Khan's PTI party in the lead. There have been protests by Imran Khan supporters, directed to take to the streets to raise their voice about the results.
Also on the programme: we'll hear about the situation in southern Gaza after Israel says it'll press ahead with a military offensive there; and the mystery oil spill in Trinidad and Tobago.
