Shein store opening in Paris draws protests
From a store launch in Paris to an online shutdown threat in France, it's been a whirlwind day for Shein.
The Chinese online retailer Shein is opening its first permanent shop, using floor space in the prestigious BHV department store in the French capital Paris. But how is this seen in France? Leanna Byrne hears from a protestor and one of the managers of the building.
Also, the Chinese government is using a major trade exhibition to sell the country as an investment partner after last week's meeting between President Xi Jinping and Donald Trump.
An independent review looking into how to tackle health-related joblessness has warned the UK is sliding into an "avoidable crisis".
And for young Ugandans, Zohran Mamdani, born in the capital Kampala and elected as New York’s mayor, his rise isn’t just political; it’s professional too. We hear from a young Ugandan Mamdani supporter.
