Portugal vote in parliamentary election

Opinion polls suggest the major political parties will not win a majority.

Portugal is holding a snap parliamentary election. Opinion polls suggest that neither the opposition centre-right Democratic Alliance nor the governing Socialists are likely to win a decisive majority. This could give the balance of power to the far-right Chega party.

Also in the programme: Texans are hoping for some relief from the worst wildfires in the state's history; and we hear from the star of the hit show Shogun.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss this and more are Dr Yu Jie, senior research fellow on China in the Asia-Pacific Programme at Chatham House and Jeffrey Kofman former reporter and now CEO of AI transcript service Trint.
