Protests in France against the new prime minister
Tens of thousands protest across the country to oppose Michel Barnier.
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.
