France reacts to Le Pen and Macron Presidential face-off

Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron will face-off in two weeks time

Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron will face-off in two weeks time. We speak to Laurent Allias who runs Josiane, an advertising agency based in Paris who tells how he thinks the result of the first round would affect him. Plus, Alexandre Mayol, Associate Professor in Economics at the University of Lorraine tells us how the two candidates' policies differ. Next we speak to Professor Robin Carhart-Harris, a psychologist, neuroscientist and former Head of the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London who tells us what led him to researching the medical effects of magic mushrooms and how they can open up depressed people's brains to stop them getting stuck in a negative pattern of thinking. There have been more falls on the equity markets in the US with the Nasdaq dropping over 2%; Peter Jankowskis of Arbor Financial explains why. And we hear from Guy Hedgecoe reporting from Madrid where he speaks to to people feeling the pinch of rising prices; largely linked to higher energy costs, and supply chain problems. Lastly, Pilita Clark talks us through the conundrum of work place attire in a post pandemic world. (picture of the French flag via Getty).
