The Local's Talking France podcast is back with a look at the burning issues in France this week - from policing to farm animals, workers shortages to paperwork traps.
Host Ben McPartland is joined by Local France editor Emma Pearson and reporter Genevieve Mansfield to discuss the big issues in France this week - from the controversy raging around the Interior Minister to problems with the French police and their often heavy-handed crowd-control techniques.
We're also joined by veteran political columnist John Lichfield to look at the domestic fall-out from the chaotic scenes during a football match at the Stade de France.
Genevieve talks us through the staffing shortage that is already hitting France and is expected to get worse over the summer, and we're also answering question from our readers - Why a woman's maiden name is such a big deal in France?
Finally, we've got some handy French vocab and a look ahead to some of the events on the horizon.
