Spain votes in general election

A general election is taking place in Spain, marked by the rise of a far-right party

Polls have opened across Spain for the country's third general election in four years. The election is marked by the rise of the far right movement Vox, which opposes multiculturalism and has threatened to end self rule for regions like Catalonia.

Also in the programme - a week on from the Easter Sunday attacks, the situation remains tense in Sri Lanka; and the London marathon gets underway.
