## Resource

A French court of appeal has upheld the conviction of the far right leader Marine Le Pen for misusing public funds. She will have to wear an electronic tag, which she has previously said will stop her from running for president next year. Also on the programme: a crunch Nato meeting for Ukraine's President Zelensky as he urges world leaders to cough up cash; and the story of Kenya's “eco mamas” -- the women reviving marine conservation on the country's coast.
