Russia Bans Food Imports From West

Russia announces a ban on fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, milk and dairy imports from the West and a new way to communicate information about Ebola using mobile phones.

As Russia announces a ban on fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, milk and dairy imports from the EU, US and other Western countries, we analyse who the biggest losers will be. As Ebola continues to spread, we speak to a company trying to educate people about the virus via their mobile phones. PLUS women and business: the 大象传媒's Faarea Masud interviews some of the UK's most vocal feminists on whether women really are getting ahead in the board room.

From the UK, social commentator and entrepreneur Simon Cohen speaks to us about why he decided to 'give away' his PR business and from Washington, economist Peter Morici comments on the day's stories.
