Whilst the Eurozone economy remains smaller than pre-pandemic, it is out of recession. BBC economics correspondent Andrew Walker takes a closer look at the picture across the various countries that use the Euro. And with Spain and Portugal among the strongest performing economies, Jorge Trader, who manages those countries at the European Tourism Association, tells us what recovery looks like in his sector. Also in the programme, a new assessment from the central bank of South Korea says the North Korean economy has suffered its sharpest decline in more than 20 years. Peter Ward of Seoul National University in South Korea discusses the figures and explains how estimates of North Korean economic activity are made. Mental health care apps have boomed in popularity during the pandemic. The BBC's Tamasin Ford asks if they are as good as face-to-face treatment, and explores privacy concerns. Plus, the Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson is suing Disney for breach of contract after it streamed her film Black Widow at the same time as its cinema release, arguing that the move deprived her of potential earnings. Anna Nicolaou is US media correspondent for the Financial Times and considers the prospects for the case.
