Regional elections in France

Voters in France are going to the polls for a second round of regional elections, today, in what is the last nationwide electoral test for the main parties ahead of next year’s presidential and parliamentary elections.

Also, rescuers continue their search for survivors in the rubble of a collapsed apartment block in Florida.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Caroline Frost, a British writer and entertainment and media journalist; and Mark Galleoti, expert and consultant on Modern Russia and honorary professor at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London.
