France and Germany have called for talks with the United States by the end of the year to try to resolve a dispute over spying, after reports that the US tapped German Chancellor Angela Merkel's mobile phone. Also in the programme we hear why France's top footballers are going on strike - and we have an interview with maverick computer programmer John McAfee in which he discusses fleeing Belize after becoming a 'person of interest' following the death of his neighbour. Plus the latest business stories from Hong Kong with the BBC's Juliana Liu - and we're joined by guests Gordon Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China and Fan Li, a social entrepreneur who is co-founder of the Global Links Initiative.
