The strike by French oil workers is now in its third week, and has shut six of France's seven oil refineries. With long queues of cars now a regular sight at the pumps, the government wants to get the fuel flowing again. The government has said it would use mandatory powers to force some of them to go back to work. We talk to Paris based independent journalist Catherine Guilyardi about its impact on the country. We hear from our reporter in Ghana Thomas Naadi about fuel protests. It is one of the main hotspots in West Africa where there's a real anger about how local currencies have become crippled by the strength of the dollar. We hear from South Korean food writer Joe McPherson about how a bad harvest in the country has led to China exporting cheaper cabbages.
