Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has undergone surgery to treat bleeding on her brain, at a hospital in Buenos Aires. The operation, which has lasted about two hours, "went very well" said her spokesman, Alfredo Scoccimarro.

 

Ms Fernandez, 60, is expected to remain in intensive care for the next 48 hours and stay in hospital until next week. She was ordered to rest for at least a month after doctors discovered the subdural haematoma. "The president is in good spirits and is already in her room," said Mr Scoccimarro.
