We consider the likelihood of a new trade war with Joseph Francois, professor of international economics at the University of Berne in Switzerland. Also in the programme, there have been widespread strikes in France in protest at President Macron's economic reforms. Geoffrey Roux de Bezieux is vice president of the employers association MEDEF, and offers us his organisation's perspective, plus we hear from Rubin Sfadj of the libertarian research group, Generation Libre. It has emerged that new passports being issued after Britain leaves the European Union will be made by a French firm. We get reaction from Britons living in Europe.

Plus we hear how Taiwan has taken recycling to a whole new level.
