As the Netherlands lends Air France-KLM $3.7bn we look at the future of travel. The BBC’s Tom Burridge has been sampling the new normal of air travel on a domestic flight from London to Inverness. We get a sense of how France’s tourism sector is recovering in the aftermath of coronavirus lockdowns with a report from the BBC’s Hugh Schofield in Brittany. Also in the programme, future stability in Sudan will depend on a thriving economy, and according to the UN that is best achieved if countries are willing to offer financial help. We hear more from UK Minister for Africa, James Duddridge, whose government has pledged $185m at a donor conference on the subject in Berlin. The selection process to find a new director general of the World Trade Organisation is under way, and one of the candidates, Hamid Mamdouh, tells us about his vision for the organisation. Plus on the day the Glastonbury Music Festival was due to start in southwest England, we hear about the challenges faced by those who would normally be crewing the event, from Peter Heath, head of the Professional Lighting and Sound Association.
