After surprise wins for the French left, we examine the tricky question that remains: how to govern? Also on the programme: we hear from our correspondents in Washington and a security analyst about what’s on the Nato agenda. Plus: we head to South Korea to explore Samsung Electronics’ “indefinite” strike and what it means for the Asian business hub. All that, plus a flick through the morning’s papers and a look at the art world's battle against AI forgery.
