Search giant Google is to pay a $267m fine in France because of its advertising dominance. Laura Kayali is technology reporter for Politico in Paris, and explains the background to the case. Also in the programme, protesters voiced their anger over environmental concerns as a giant cruise ship set sail from Venice on Saturday. The MSC Orchestra was the first cruise ship to leave the city since coronavirus restrictions were imposed in early 2020, and Tom Parry of the Travel Trade Gazette tells us whether the global cruise industry is getting the wind back in its sails. Production of the luxury jet plane Learjet is set to end later this year, and the 主播大秀's Russell Padmore takes an in-depth look at the global market for private jets. Plus, as people around the world return to the office, our regular workplace commentator Peter Morgan discusses the experience of those who have to try and fit into traditional office attire again, after spending time at home wearing baggy loungewear.
