French Presidential Candidates Pitch to Business Leaders

Frontrunners in France's presidential election have talked economics with business leaders.

Frontrunners in France's presidential election have talked economics with business leaders. Sophie Fay is business editor at the French weekly magazine Nouvel Observateur, and watched the candidates make their pitches. Also in the programme, President Trump is expected to issue a new executive order to sweep away many Obama era policies on climate change. We get reaction from May Boeve, executive director at the US environmental group 350.org. South Africa's rand has fallen amid reports that the country's finance minister may be about to be sacked. We get the latest from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Lerato Mbele in Johannesburg. Jane Chambers reports from Chile on the human impact of devastating forest fires there. Plus Britain's pound coin has been reinvented. We ask Adam Lawrence, chief executive of the UK's Royal Mint whether it is really the world's most secure coin.
