Far-right looks to make gains in Spanish election

Vox party looks likely to enter government after polarised election

Analysts predict the conservative Partido Popular and far-right Vox political parties could form a coalition government as Spainiards head to the polls in one of the country’s most polarised elections.

Also on the programme: the American meteorologist in Iowa who quit forecasting the weather on television because of death threats; and who's a Barbie girl and who's not, as a new film about the iconic doll comes to cinema screens.

Joining Audrey Brown to discuss all this and more are Ammon Cheskin, senior lecturer in Central and East European Studies at Glasgow University in Scotland and Georgina Godwin, a Zimbabwean-born broadcaster and journalist based in London.
