Muhammed Buhari triumphs in historic Nigeria vote

Wed¹, 1 Apr 15

Africa's biggest economy elects a new president. For the first time in its history, Nigeria has had a democratic change of leader. We get live reaction from the country's capital, Abuja and speak to business leaders in Lagos about their feelings on Muhammadu Buhari's victory. Also on the programme, we get the latest on talks about Iran's nuclear programme in Lausanne, Switzerland; can negotiators do a deal even with a few hours extension? And after a series of violent rapes² of foreign women, our reporter Rahul Tandon investigates how safe it really is for female tourists in India. And throughout the programme we are joined by our guests: Nisid Hajari,Asia Editor for Bloomberg View and Dave Shaw, Editor, Marketplace.
