Robert Mugabe 'Under House Arrest'

Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe is believed to be under house arrest.

Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe is believed to be under house arrest. As the country's army takes control, we look at the health of the Zimbabwean economy with John Robertson, an independent economist based in Harare. Also in the programme, Britain's highest court has ruled in favour of a minimum price for alcohol in Scotland. Joep Stassen of the trade body Spirits Europe tells us why his members are disappointed with the move, whilst we also get reaction from Alison Douglas, chief executive of the campaign group Alcohol Focus Scotland. We look back at US president Donald Trump's tour of Asia with our regular economic commentator Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute. Plus the Godfather of Italian cooking, Antonio Carluccio, tells us about opening his very first restaurant, in an interview that was recorded just a few days before he passed away.
