France eases coronavirus lockdown

Available for over a year

France has allowed non-essential shops, museums, and bar and cafe terraces to reopen. Cinemas have also got the green light, and Vincent Erlenbach, who runs Cinema Utopia in Bordeaux gives us his reaction. And after China banned banks and payment firms from providing services related to cryptocurrency transactions, prices dropped heavily. We speak to Glen Goodman, author of the Crypto Trader and Susan Schmidt from Aviva Investors. Also in the programme, ahead of largely symbolic elections in Syria next week, the BBC's Ed Butler reports on how a significant source of foreign currency for the country's ruling elite now comes from the sale of drugs, and in particular a type of amphetamine called Captagon.
