Update: State of Emergency Follows Bridge Collapse

The collapse of a bridge in Genoa sparks fears over other similar concrete constructions.

With at least 38 dead, Italy is absorbing a disaster that many feel should not happen in a modern European country; the collapse of a major motorway bridge. We hear from Mark Hansford, editor of the New Civil Engineer magazine. Also in the programme, the Ugandan Afrobeat singer and opposition MP Bobi Wine has been arrested, after his driver was shot and killed. Our reporter in Kampala tells us what is currently known about the case. And Elon Musk, Tesla's boss, is facing investigation by finance regulators over a tweet he sent last week saying he had the funds to take his company private. Susan J Schmidt from Westwood Holdings Group in Dallas gives us the details.
