BBC World Service - BBC OS, Argentina: Who is Javier Milei?

Argentines have elected far-right outsider Javier Milei as their new president

Argentines have elected far-right outsider Javier Milei as their new president.

The right-wing president-elect of Argentina, Javier Milei, has said he intends to privatise the state energy company, YPF, as well as public broadcasters and the state news agency. We explain who the 53-year-old is and hear reaction from Argentina.

Another hospital in northern Gaza has become embroiled in the fighting. We get the latest from our correspondent and speak to peace activists, one a Palestinian and the other an Israeli, about how recent events have affected their work and lives.

We talk about Taylor Swift's concerts in Brazil amid an unprecedented heatwave in the country. The singer postponed a concert in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday, after a fan died while attending her show on Friday. Taylor Swift herself appeared to be struggling to breathe during that concert on Friday.

The Billboard Music Awards added an Afrobeats category to their Nominations for this years event, and Nigerian star Burna Boy won the award. We explain the global popularity of Afrobeats and Burna Boy and speak to the artist's photographer and hear from fans.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
