Macron and Merkel Hold Summit

The German chancellor and French president hold a joint cabinet session in Paris.

The German chancellor and French president hold a joint cabinet session in Paris. Carsten Brzeski is chief economist of ING in Germany, and tells us whether there is a new impetus in the relationship at the heart of Europe. Also in the programme, Ugandan Afrobeat musician turned member of parliament Bobi Wine tells us how he hopes to help his country's people. The European Commission hopes to prevent Poland from logging one of the last remaining areas of primeval forest in Europe, as the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Adam Easton explains. We hear how Kazakhstan hopes to make its mark in the renewable energy field. Plus as Europe prepares to clamp down on companies who search social media for information on those applying to work for them, we ask employment lawyer Gillian Howard if we should all be more careful about what we post.
