Also in the programme, France's new president Emmanuel Macron has vowed to bring about a renaissance in France. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Joshua Thorpe asks small businesses in Paris what they think of Mr Macron's plans. We find out about a boardroom battle at the Anglo-Russian gold miner Petro Pavlovsk, from Peter Hambro, who is stepping down as its chairman next month.
