North Korea's Kim Jong-Un has been with China's President Xi ahead of a US summit. We hear about the significance of the visit from Yun Sun, a fellow with the East Asia programme at the Stimson Centre. Also in the programme, in the wake of a round of expulsions of Russian diplomats after the poisoning of a former spy on UK soil, our regular economic commentator Roger Bootle of Capital Economics considers the likelihood that countries might follow up with a round of trade sanctions. The UK High Court is considering the possibility of a class action suit over the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal. Lincoln Jopp of vehicle software company Tantalum tells us the background. Britain's Equality and Human Rights Commission says it has uncovered shocking examples of sexual harassment in the workplace. Kate Griffiths-Lambeth is group director of human resources at wealth managers Charles Stanley and gives us her assessment of the findings. Plus we find out about the luxury African brands that are proving to be a hit in Europe.
