BBC World Service - World Business Report, French government tries to bring strikes to an end

The French government tries to end strikes which have seen long lines at petrol stations

The French government intends to try and force striking oil refinery workers back to work, but the unions say it's a "declaration of war". We get the latest from Olivier Gantois, Executive Chairman of UFIP, the French association of petroleum industry.

We're joined by public-health activist, Dinesh Thakur, as an investigation gets underway into the deaths of nearly 70 children in The Gambia, which are being linked to cough syrups made in India.

Nissan has announced it's selling its business in Russia for €1, at a $687 million loss. Independent expert Sergey Burgazliev looks at how Russians are going to replace the production and what could happen next.

Finally, we're joined by Gill Hind, Director of TV at Enders Analysis, based in London, and former Operations Director at Freeview in the UK, after Netflix announced it'll have its audiences measured by an external, independent body for the very first time.
