Macron Visits Calais Amid Migrant Tensions

World Business Report

Available for over a year

France's president Macron visits Calais to try and tackle tensions over migrants there. We get reaction from Clare Moseley, founder of charity Care4Calais, and UK Independence Party MEP, Nigel Farage. Also in the programme, we have details of a BBC investigation into a scam allowing UK nationals to buy fake degrees from a 'diploma mill' in Pakistan. We travel to Cuba to meet two women entrepreneurs behind a growing design business on the island. Plus Timmy Shen, a reporter with TechNode China, tells us why Chinese internet giant Tencent has high hopes for the short video site Kuaishou. (Picture: Migrants in Calais. Picture credit: AFP.)
