Shock win for hard right candidate in Romania presidential election

A far-right, pro-Russian candidate has won a surprise victory in the first round of Romania's presidential election. Calin Georgescu has an unassailable lead with more than ninety-nine percent of the votes counted. Mr Georgescu has expressed views that are sympathetic to Russia, is a critic of both NATO and the European Union, and campaigned heavily on social media during the election particularly on TikTok. Also in the programme: a BBC investigation has exposed a fertility scam fuelling a black market trade in babies in Nigeria; and we ask whether it's acceptable for people to sing-along to a film in the cinema, as the highly promoted musical Wicked is released.
