John Pienaar and listeners give their verdict on the first leaders' debate. Dotun speaks to South Africans queuing for World cup tickets, and a British food invasion of India.

5live's chief political correspondent picks through the first televised leaders' debate in Manchester.
South Africans have had their first chance to buy tickets for the World Cup over the counter. FIFA has been criticised for only selling tickets up to now via its website - thus excluding many thousands of poorer South Africans who don't have internet access or credit cards. But how many ordinary South Africans will be able to afford the tickets - however they're paid for? Even the cheapest tickets are around seven times as expensive as South African league tickets...a ticket for the opening match costs around 50 pounds - the average black South African's monthly wage is around 拢150...so that gives you some idea. Dotun spoke to Sibusiso, who joined a queue in Soweto.

A food festival celebrating the British curry will open in the Eastern Indian city of Kolkata today (Friday) . Some of Britain's top curry chefs will be cooking their version of the traditional Indian dish and looking to tap into India's huge food market . Up All Night's Rahul Tandon gave Dotun a taste of things to come.
