City of Love bites as bedbugs take over Paris

Paris may be the city of love, but there’s one local you wouldn’t want to share a bed with… Bed bugs.

The city and host for the next Olympics in 2024 has been infested with bed bugs - the tiny biting insect that burrows its way into bed linen, furniture, carpets and rugs... And bites.

In this extra episode of the Briefing, we’re joined by ecological expert Professor Dieter Hochuli to talk all things bed bugs – and to find out if it can happen in Paris, could it happen here too?
