Sky News Australia3 hours ago0:28

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has announced an early election in a bid to strengthen his mandate. Mr Sanchez announced the snap vote will be held on November 29. It's after Spain's parliament rejected the government's proposed legislation to address the nation's housing crisis. Protesters across the country have been demonstrating against high rents and evictions. Public outrage has grown following the televised eviction of an 87-year-old woman in Madrid last month.
