Brazil has elected Jair Bolsonaro as its next president. The ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Julia Carneiro gives us the latest from Rio.

Sri Lanka's unfolding political crisis threatens to turn into a "bloodbath" unless order is restored, the speaker of parliament has warned. It comes after President Maithripala Sirisena last week sacked the cabinet and suspended parliament. The ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s Ethirajan Anbarasan tells us how things have got this far.

Also, the man now charged with carrying out the shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, in which 11 people died, is known to have posted regularly on Gab, a website known as a hub for alt-right and extremist views. Gab has now been forced online after companies that provided its domain and payment services blocked it. Shona Ghosh is a senior tech reporter at Business Insider and tells us more about the ‘extreme free-speech’ site.

Plus we have reaction to UK finance minister Philip Hammond's latest budget for the country, from Roger Bootle of Capital Economics.

And all throughout the show we’ll be joined by Raju Narisetti of the Columbia journalism school in New York, and Simon Littlewood of the Asia Now Consultancy Group in Singapore.
