We hear from Marie-Reine Hassen, a former foreign minister, about what she thinks needs to change on the political and security front. Also, Oscar Pistorius is sentenced to five years for the killing of Reeva Steenkamp, and condolences pour in for top oil executive Christophe de Margerie after his death in a plane crash in Moscow. He headed up energy giant Total.
