World Business Report

Available for over a year

The rival candidates in France's presidential runoff have been setting out their plans. The BBC's Susannah Streeter and Joe Miller have been gauging reaction on the streets of France to yesterday's first round election. Plus we get the perspective of Christian Chavagneux of the magazine Alternatives Economiques, and Sophie Pedder from The Economist in Paris. And Pierre Gatass, President of the French employers federation MEDEF tells us how the business community is responding. (Picture: Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen. Picture credit: AFP.)
