Description

Protests are taking place across France over the appointment of Michel Barnier as the new French prime minister, after an election that resulted in a National Assembly without a majority. We hear from Nathalie Oziol, an MP with the left-wing La France Insoumise party. Also in the programme: the leaders of the UK and US foreign intelligence agencies speak together in public for the first time ever about the international world order being under threat; and Cocteau Twins' Simon Raymonde discusses his memoir.
