Right-wing populist wins Argentina's presidential election

Argentines have elected far-right outsider Javier Milei, 53, as their new president. The radical newcomer's victory has been described as "a political earthquake".

Mr Milei has promised drastic changes, which include ditching the local currency, the peso, for the US dollar and "blowing up" the central bank in order to prevent it from printing more money, which he argues is driving inflation. We'll analyse the political and economic effects of his win.

Also in the programme: Why there are international calls to curb violence in the occupied West Bank as a result of the the Israel-Hamas war; and we'll hear the extraordinary journey of the "Amazing Grace" hymn.
