Protests and general strike in Argentinian capital
Tens of thousands protest in Buenos Aires against President Milei's economic reforms.
Tens of thousands protest in Buenos Aires against President Milei's drastic economic reforms. The reforms are aimed at tackling runaway inflation, but can the new president get them through Congress? Newshour's James Menendez tests the mood on the street, and we also hear from one of Mr Milei's closest allies, MP Jose Luis Espert.
Also in the programme: after Donald Trump's victory in a presidential primary, what next for America's Republicans? And the Saudi Arabian authorities open the country's first alcohol shop for decades - but only foreign diplomats are allowed to use it.
