Is English or French under threat in France?

French government officials and businesses are being told to stop using words widely employed in the world of gaming which have been borrowed from English.

Also, the governor of the Luhansk region, Serhiy Haidai, says Russian forces are 'destroying everything' in the key city of Severodonetsk, where both sides remain locked in a battle for control.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Aida Alami, a Moroccan journalist based in Rabat; and Emile Chabal, a historian specialising in twentieth century European politics and intellectual life who teaches at the University of Edinburgh.
