Protesters rallied against Austria's new conservative and far right coalition government.

Protesters rallied against Austria's new conservative and far right coalition government. Matthew Karnitschnig is Politico's chief European correspondent, and explains the background. Also in the programme, we have the latest from Johannesburg, where South Africa's ruling ANC party are electing a new leader. The European Commission has launched an enquiry to determine whether the Swedish furniture giant Ikea is avoiding tax. Rochelle Topilenski has been investigating the story for the Financial Times. Facebook has conceded that social media can harm mental health, but suggests people post more to counter the effect. Sir Simon Wessely is professor of psychological medicine at King's College London, and assesses the social network's findings. Plus we have a report from Taiwan on efforts to improve the image of tea drinking among the country's young.
