France's €100 billion stimulus to revive economy

Available for over a year

The French government has announced €100 billion of spending after the economy shrank by almost 14% between April and June - the biggest quarterly fall since the end of the Second World War. Thierry Drilhon, President of the Franco-British Chamber of Commerce, tells us the rescue package should re-ignite the economy. McDonald's, makers of the famous Big Mac burger, plan to start legal proceedings against Burger King because their Australian franchise Hungry Jack's have brought out the 'Big Jack' burger. We hear from Michaela Whitbourn, legal affairs reporter at the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper. And with the strain of working during a pandemic taking its toll on the world's workers, Monica Miller has been talking to some people who have turned to new - and sometimes unconventional - methods to manage their stress.
