We examine Russia's International Economic Forum, where it seeks foreign investment. Kirill Dmitriev is chief executive of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, and tells us what sort of deals are being struck. And we hear from Henry Foy, Moscow bureau chief of the Financial Times, how the house arrest of American businessman Michael Calvey on fraud charges caused the US ambassador to Moscow to stay away from the event. Also in the programme, as the women's football World Cup gets under way in France, sports journalist Florence Lloyd-Hughes discusses the significant disparity in rates of pay between men and women playing the game. Plus our reporter looks at how songs in languages other than English are making more of an impact on the international music scene.
