Available for over a year

Less than two months since President Javier Milei took office, hundreds of thousands of Argentines are taking to the streets. Workers in transportation, construction, health care, food services, energy and banking are objecting to Mr. Milei’s planned overhauls. Union leaders argue that they will weaken protections for workers and the poor. Also, in the programme, Sam Fenwick talks to the boss of ASML, a Dutch semi-conductor company, who sees no end in sight to the demand for specialist microchips technology. And how Scotland's Wigtown reinvented itself as a destination for books to keep the local economy thriving. (Picture: Protest against Argentine President Milei's economic reforms, in Buenos Aires.
