BBC World Service - Newshour, France recalls envoys in row over defence deal

French government says the Australians made a huge mistake in scrapping submarine deal

French government says the Australians made a huge mistake in scrapping submarine deal.

France says it is recalling its ambassadors in the US and Australia for consultations, in protest at a security deal between the so- called Aukus alliance. The opposition French senator, Nathalie Goulet, says France feels completely betrayed. 

Also in the programme: human rights groups say new Greek migrant camp on the island of Samos is like a prison; and boys go back to school in Afghanistan, but their sisters have to stay at home.
