Youth protests led to a new government, but can it deliver? Jonny Dymond chairs a panel drawn from politicians and activists as they debate questions from a large audience in Kathmandu.

Violent youth protests toppled the government and led to a general election in March. Nepal's Gen Z had demanded an end to corruption, less inequality and more jobs for the young. Now, the country is stepping into the unknown after the resounding electoral victory of a party pledged to their aims. The Rastriya Swatantra Party is only four years old and is being led into government by rapper turned politician Balendra Shah.

They hold the hopes of many millions, but can they deliver? And do their supporters have the patience to wait?
