French inflation stabilizes, but food, energy costs remain high

Description

France's cost of living crisis shows signs of stabilizing, as inflation dropped from 7.1% to 6.7% in December. It's among the lowest levels in the Eurozone, but many households and businesses are still struggling. French bakers are asking for more financial aid, with the cost of flour up a staggering 45%. Also in the show - UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak vows to tackle inflation and recession, and Facebook's parent company Meta faces a €390 million fine in Ireland.
