Also on the programme: The newspaper that brought to light the Watergate scandal - The Washington Post - lays off hundreds off staff. What does it reveal about the state of the media in America? And the small scale Norwegian film with nine Oscar nominations: the director Joachim Trier tells us more about "Sentimental Value", and why European cinema is thriving.
