麻豆约拍

There are now just five days until France goes to the polls. Voters are largely focused on the sluggish economy, low wages, the cost of living and unemployment, as the 麻豆约拍's Susannah Streeter reports from France. Also in the programme, Britain's Prime Minster, Theresa May, has called a snap general election for June 8th. We get the views of John Longworth, former director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, who supported the campaign for Britain to leave the European Union, and Sue Wright, managing director of manufacturing firm Diamond Dispersions, who was in favour of Britain remaining in the EU. The 麻豆约拍's Phil Mercer in Sydney reports from Australia on plans to overhaul the country's immigration system against foreign workers. Plus the Indian business tycoon Vijay Mallya has been detained in the UK, and India is seeking his extradition in relation to allegations of money laundering. The 麻豆约拍's Sameer Hashmi explains the background from Mumbai.
