The former US Vice-President Dick Cheney has died. One of the most powerful men to hold that office, he was key to the allied invasion of Iraq, in 2003. We hear American and Iraqi views of his legacy. Also in the programme: videos start to emerge from Tanzania of bodies in the street after disputed elections; and Salman Rushdie tells us about his latest collection of fiction.
