BBC World Service - BBC OS, Protests in Argentina

Hundreds of thousands of workers are demonstrating against the new president's reforms.

Hundreds of thousands of workers in Argentina are demonstrating against the new president's reforms.

We head to Argentina where thousands of workers are staging a mass general strike in a protest that will test popular support for President Javier Milei’s austerity blitz less than two months into his presidency. We get the latest on the ground from our correspondent.

We also take a look at the protests taking places across Europe. Farmers are protesting in Poland and Brussels. In Germany train drivers are on strike.

An international team of scientists has successfully implanted a lab-created embryo into a southern white rhino for the first time proving that IVF is possible in the species. We find out more from our correspondent.

And after a US Scientist claimed salt in a cup of tea is the key to making the perfect brew, we get reaction from tea drinkers.
