US President Trump has arrived in Singapore for a summit with North Korea's Kim Jong-Un.

On the heels of a stormy G7 meeting in Canada, US President Donald Trump has arrived in Singapore for a historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. BBC correspondent Chris Buckler joins us from Washington to compare the importance of the two summits.

The new management of troubled airline Air France-KLM will present measures to respond to a staff "malaise" this week. The Economist’s bureau chief in Paris, Sophie Pedder, gives her take on whether these measures can repair relations between the national carrier and French labour unions.

Then, economist Michael Hughes looks to the week ahead, as a series of central bank announcements give clues to the future health of the major developed economies.

And finally, an increasing number of cryptocurrency mining operations are moving to Iceland. The BBC’s Edwin Lane travels to the small island nation to find out why.
