Emmanuel Macron Calls for EU Reforms

The front-runner in the French presidential election says the European Union must reform or face "Frexit".

The front-runner in the French presidential election has told the BBC the European Union must reform or face the prospect of "Frexit" - the French equivalent of Britain's Brexit. At the start of the final week before Sunday's second round of voting, we'll hear the latest from the campaigns of Mr Macron and his rival, Marine Le Pen.

Also on the programme: The Indian minister handing out wooden bats to women to use them as weapons if their husbands turn abusive. And we speak to the head of the Organization of American States as Venezuela's opposition and government call for another day of protests.
