President Macron visits Algeria

The French President is aiming to mend ties on a three-day visit to France's former colony.

We hear about President Macron's visit to Algeria to mend ties and secure more gas supplies.

Also, a warning of tough times ahead for the US economy from the head of the central bank, the Federal Reserve, prompts a sharp fall in share prices on Wall Street.

And we discuss why men still aren't doing a fair share of domestic housework.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Alex von Tunzelmann, a British historian, film and TV scriptwriter, and author; and Dipo Faloyin, an author and senior editor at VICE News in London.
