BBC World Service - Newshour, Tunisia votes in parliamentary election

Tunisians are voting in a parliamentary election which opposition parties are boycotting

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

Tunisians are voting in a parliamentary election that has been boycotted by opposition parties.  President Kais Saied dissolved the previous parliament last year when he assumed sweeping powers. We speak to the BBC's Bassam Bounenni in Tunis and Dr Lina Khatib of the Chatham House think-tank. Also on the programme: China's biggest city Shanghai orders most schools to hold classes online as Covid cases soar. And we catch the mood in Buenos Aires as Argentina prepares for its World Cup final clash against France on Sunday.
