Zimbabwe PM defends government's record

Zimbabwe's Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, has visited Britain to ask the government to change its policy towards his country in the wake of the establishment of a power-sharing "unity government" four months ago.

Britain, which has in the past fiercely criticised President Robert Mugabe's rule, has already eased sanctions to allow some of Mr Tsvangirai's delegation into the UK.

The BBC's Komla Dumor spoke to Mr Tsvangirai and asked him if, after all the violence, hunger and desperation of recent times, anything had improved in Zimbabwe since he entered the government?
