On air: Have the French done Muslim women a favour?

UPDATE 1115GMT: the report has now been published.

So it looks like there won’t be an outright ban on wearing the burka and niqab in France after all.

One senior lawmaker had suggested there should be a 750 euro fine for people caught in the street wearing the full covering, worn by an estimated 2,000 Muslim women in the country.

A report due out today is expected to recommend a ban limited to “public services” only.
