On this programme, we inspect the rental housing market and how demand for student lodging is intensifying in the city even as more accommodation comes onto the market.

We then have more property talk, and hear from a lawmaker on why the Housing Authority's Subsidised Housing Committee recently approved a 2.04 percent rent increase for public rental housing.

After the break, we turn our attention over to the French presidential election after far-right leader Marine Le Pen confirmed she was still standing for the top job next year. It follows an appeals court upheld her embezzlement conviction but paved the way for her to run with a shorter ban from office.

And to wrap up the show, a representative of a local NGO tells us more about their project which trains volunteers to become therapists for SEN children from low-income households.
