A large blast in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, has killed at least 27 people and injured more than 2,500 others, the health minister says. The BBC's Hashem Shawish explains what we know about the explosion so far. Also in the programme, Argentina has struck a debt agreement with creditors, after agreeing the terms of a restructuring deal. Dr Juan Grigera, lecturer in Political Economy at Kings College London, explains the significance of the deal. Plus, as musicians around the world struggle thanks to the cancellation of tours and gigs, the BBC's Ed Butler reports on innovative solutions that some have come up with. And we'll have a regular look at the US markets with Jo Saluzzi of Themis Trading in New Jersey. (Picture: The aftermath of the explosion at Beirut's port. Picture credit: Reuters.)
