Viktor Orbán's 16 years in power is over, and the system condemned as an "electoral autocracy" lies in tatters, defeated by a 45-year-old former party insider who convinced a majority of Hungarians to bring it to an end. The change in government has been welcomed by governments around Europe who have long been frustrated by Mr Orban's close ties to Russia and his obstruction of policies designed to support Ukraine. We'll hear from Russia about the impact this might have on the Kremlin's foreign policy. And talks to end the war in Iran have ended without progress. President Trump has responded by announcing plans to blockade ships travelling through the Strait of Hormuz.
