Pharmaceutical help sought for Ukraine

One of Ukraine's top pharmaceutical firms asks the global industry to help keep medicines flowing.

One of Ukraine's top pharmaceutical firms asks the global industry to help keep medicines flowing. Also in the programme, the 大象传媒's Caroline Davies seeks Russian views on the changing high street in Moscow, as Western firms shut their shops in Russia. We get a sense of what impact Western sanctions are having on the country's economy from Liam Peach of Capital Economics. And we hear about new restrictions on exports that Russia's government has imposed. Meanwhile the British government has introduced new sanctions on seven wealthy Russians, including the owner of Chelsea Football Club, Roman Abramovich. Tariq Panja is global sports correspondent with the New York Times, and explains the implications for the club. Plus, recent floods in eastern Australia have caused devastating losses of life and livelihoods. The 大象传媒's Vivienne Nunis asks what can be done to prevent future disasters causing so much damage to businesses and homes.

Today's edition is presented by Will Bain, and produced by Faarea Masud, Ivana Davidovic and Gabriele Shaw.
