Queen backs Charles as next Commonwealth head

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Queen Elizabeth wants Prince Charles to be the next Head of the Commonwealth, but not everyone agrees. We report from India - which represents more than half the population of the 53 countries. And we speak to Australia's Foreign Minister Julie Bishop. In Zimbabwe the government sacks thousands of nurses who've been on strike for better pay; it wants retired staff to come back and fill the gap. Plus a leading historian on how she discovered Hans Asperger was very far from being the pioneering researcher into autism. He was in fact complicit in the Nazi regime, and may have sent dozens of children to their deaths. Picture: Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles Credit: Getty Images.
