As Paris Fashion Week gets under way, some clothes makers have warned of potential shortages to come. Life Gear sells backpacks made in China from recycled material, and its owner, Magi Raible, explains how her business is affected by factory shutdowns in the country. And Steve Lamar, chief executive of the American Apparel & Footwear Association discusses how its members are impacted by coronavirus. Also in the programme, South Africa's finance minister Tito Mboweni has unveiled a budget which promises to cut the government's wage bill by $10.5bn over the next three years.
