Louvre teams up with perfume designers to create the art of scent; G20 summit in Japan

The Louvre Museum in Paris teams up with eight leading perfume designers to create scents inspired by eight of its most famous artworks.

Also in the programme: The Chinese leader,  Xi Jinping, has appealed to President Trump for dialogue rather than confrontation, as they discuss their trade war at the G20 summit in Japan.

And Mr Trump has made a last minute offer to meet the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un on Sunday.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Stacy Hilliard-Cork, a US-born political commentator and consultant and former Republican Party activist now based in London, and Barnaby Phillips, director of communications for the Elephant Protection Initiative, and former international television and radio correspondent.
