France eases coronavirus lockdown - a podcast by BBC World Service

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. 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. Plus, our regular workplace commentator Stephanie Hare makes the case for bringing more play into the office.
