Ukraine crisis takes dangerous twist
Events take a turn for the worse in Ukraine, while two of Europe's leaders say Russian sanctions are hurting them more than Moscow. Plus, would you eat choco-chicken?
The crisis in Ukraine takes a potentially dangerous turn, with Kiev saying its forces attacked and partly destroyed a column of Russian armoured vehicles that entered Ukrainian territory overnight. But there's now open division in Europe over how to respond to the situation. We talk to Raoul Ruparel, head of economic research at Open Europe. In Britain, the new football Premier League season kicks off today. But if you like catching the highlights online beware - football bosses are launching a crackdown on unofficial clips of action posted on social media. We ask the European vice president of Buzzfeed, Alan Hayward, whether the site's worth more than the Washington Post. And in our regular Friday chat, Oliver Ralph of the Financial Times newspaper in London and Simon Constable of the Wall Street Journal in New York talk about a new Bill of Rights for customers at an American department store, and the move by carmaker Daimler to delete staff emails while they're on holiday. Plus, Kai Ryssdal from our sister programme in the US - Marketplace - tries 'choco-chicken'.
