BBC World Service - Newsday, Mexico election: Claudia Sheinbaum wins

Her values aligned with the outgoing president's policies which she pledged to continue

Sheinbaum, 61, makes history as Mexico's first female president

Claudia Sheinbaum addressed crowds saying "I won't fail you" after winning around 58-60 percent of votes to become the country's first ever female president.

The final tally from South Africa's election shows the country is also at a historic turning point, as the ruling ANC - the party of Nelson Mandela - loses its majority after 30 years in power and calls on other parties to work with it.

Also in this programme - Maldives' President Mohamed Muizzu has announced that it will ban Israelis from entering the country - as public anger has increased over the war in Gaza. An estimated 11,000 Israelis visited the Indian Ocean's archipelago last year, which was 0.6 percent of total tourist arrivals.

And, it is 75 years since the publication of the novel 1984 this week. We take you to a Russian city where people are turning to George Orwell for inspiration.
